Lei Xi looked around and muttered in a low voice, "This is the most cunning aspect of these guys. If it's an official from the Alliance, they'll turn a blind eye and let them pass to avoid a major conflict. After all, if they piss off any country, that country can send a bunch of people over to cause trouble, and at worst, they'll be taken away. But it's tough on us freelancers."

"Okay."

Su Mo's face twitched. Everyone said that the Empire's army was barbaric and unreasonable, but he felt these people were very shrewd.

...

Star Ring City, western area of the Third Ring, conference room of the High Motos Empire Central Building.

High Motos Empire Emperor Mokajafa, Demun Empire Emperor Andersim, Grey Goros Empire Emperor Kegojaya, Feregil Empire Emperor Orekaro, Fales Empire Emperor Hallett, and Tairudi Empire Emperor Marutado, the six emperors sat on their thrones, gathered together for a meeting.

Emperor Andersim said with a gloomy face, "You three countries are really something. Sending supplies to the Alliance is one thing, but you even sent the Blue Whale? It caused the Alliance to transport supplies back from the front lines. Now they've paid off their debts, but we can't. Will the Star Ring City Lord let us off?"

Emperor Hallett also replied angrily, "Can you blame us for this? When we were all fighting to the death in the front, didn't you secretly transport a batch in the back, and weren't you intercepted as well?"

"That's not the same thing, is it? At least we didn't give high-level warships to the other side, and we were intercepted by the strongest combat power of the Federation."

Emperor Kegojaya said coldly.

"It's not like we weren't intercepted by the strongest combat power of the Federation."

Emperor Orekaro replied fiercely.

"Alright! Everyone, say less. Now is not the time to argue about this. What's the point of who's right and wrong? Now we need to figure out how to deal with the loan. Tomorrow is the last repayment date. If we can't repay, we'll be fish on the Star Ring City Lord's chopping board, at his mercy."

Emperor Marutado anxiously advised.

Emperor Mokajafa watched the emperors arguing like he was watching a show, and didn't say a word the whole time.

"What good idea is there? Can you get tens of billions of star coins overnight?"

Emperor Hallett touched his forehead and said with a headache. They had planned everything well, using the Blue Whale to secretly transport supplies to the front lines and then transport the profits back. But now it's all gone to waste.

And it's not just gone to waste. As a result, the Alliance used their Blue Whale to transport supplies back and pay off the loan. Now everyone is laughing at them.

Isn't this shooting themselves in the foot?

For a time, all the emperors present fell silent and didn't say a word.

The atmosphere became unusually oppressive.

Just then, Emperor Mokajafa twisted his neck, his bones making a cracking sound. He said in a deep voice.

"Are you all done arguing?"

"Emperor Mokajafa, we don't want to argue, but isn't there no other way?"

Emperor Hallett replied with an unsightly expression.

"Alright, stop complaining, and don't worry. I'll help you pay off all the money you owe to the Star Ring City Bank."

Emperor Mokajafa announced domineeringly.

Emperor Andersim and the other five looked at Emperor Mokajafa in shock.

"Are you kidding? You'll help us pay?"

"That's right!"

Emperor Mokajafa replied very positively.

"Where do you get so much money? We remember your loan hasn't been approved yet."

Kegojaya also had an incredulous expression. If Mokajafa forcibly paid for one country, that would be nothing. After all, the size of the boss is there, but to pay for five countries, that's not ordinary terrifying.

"You don't need to worry about that. I naturally have money to pay for you. But there's one thing I need to remind you. After this incident, you should know who you can rely on, who can really help you when something happens."

Mokajafa warned everyone in a semi-threatening tone.

Of course, Mokajafa wasn't afraid that after paying off the money for them, these people wouldn't have money to pay him back.

Not to mention that after paying off the loan, they could re-loan it.

These guys have plenty of resources mined from the front lines, they just haven't transported them back yet.

They will be transported back sooner or later, and this money will be repaid sooner or later.

"We understand. We still have to rely on you at critical moments."

Emperor Hallett and the others responded with smiles.

"It's good that you understand. There's one more thing, don't provoke the Federation recently. This Federation's strength is a bit beyond expectations. Let's recuperate and return to our peak before we join forces to deal with them!"

Emperor Mokajafa also had a trace of fear towards the Federation. The last few major operations all failed because of the Federation, and he couldn't help but take the Federation seriously.

"Emperor Mokajafa is right."

Every emperor present mentioned the Federation with both fear and anger, after all, they had all suffered great losses at its hands.

The blame that Su Mo caused was all placed on the Federation's head.

But it's also normal, in their eyes, this was all planned by the Federal government.

They would never believe that there was a large element of coincidence in this.

...

In the evening, Su Mo stood in front of the window with a helpless expression. He waited in the administrative hall until after two o'clock in the afternoon before the human wall formed by the Empire's army was dissolved.

As a result, the freelancers rushed to the counter like a tide, frantically grabbing the remaining tasks.

By the time Su Mo managed to squeeze to the window, there weren't many tasks left.

Of course, it wasn't that Su Mo wasn't willing to use tough methods. First, revealing his identity would be something only an idiot would do. Second, using tough methods would result in one of their small minions starting a conflict with you, and both of you would have to go to jail.

He could only swallow his pride and endure. Anyway, someone would definitely take the awesome tasks.

However, the remaining ones were only two extreme types of tasks. One part were super difficult tasks, such as collecting negative energy pollution fragments, which are also negative god fragments; capturing V-type general-level or higher Qiju Zi individuals alive; collecting eternal metal; collecting brains of the Everlasting race's general-level or higher, and they had to be alive...

The other part was star field patrol, a thankless task.

He was about to curse. Of course, there were good tasks, the hall would refresh new tasks every morning at six o'clock, but unfortunately they had already been snatched up.

"Fabricator·Devourer, help me filter out what tasks I can do. I have to earn some contribution points."

Su Mo helplessly asked for help from the Fabricator, and could only rely on this guy to help scan all the remaining tasks and pick out the edible ones from the garbage.

Fabricator·Devourer directly circled a task for Su Mo.

"A-level task, go to Ceres to capture the cub of the V-type hero-level polluted alien species, Thunderwing Beast King. Reward: 2 billion star coins, 1 billion contribution points."

"Am I sick to do this task?"

Su Mo couldn't help but complain. This task seemed simple, just stealing a cub.

But the potential risk is being hammered by a V-type hero-level monster, not to mention having to run to Ceres.

"This is the most cost-effective."

Fabricator·Devourer replied in a low voice.
