Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 425 - 64

Chapter 425: 64

The reporters were extremely excited, constantly throwing out tricky questions. Despite Frost Plated’s best efforts to control the information, the news could not be suppressed in the face of massive breaking stories.

"According to members of the Metro Brotherhood, there is a high level of collusion between Mingji Humanity and the Frost Plated Government. Is this true?"

"Those were customers that Mingji Humanity found themselves. Our funding for Mingji Humanity only covered unpaid wages and salaries..."

"Do you support the experimental projects of Mingji Humanity, including those involving forced Arcane Awakening, mind communication, and the bioengineering of giants?"

"Those were the personal actions of the professor."

"Why did the Frost Plated Government order forced Arcane Awakenings?"

"It was requested by former President Madeleine. In order to further solidify the status of women, to awaken Arcane Energy in all Frost Plated women, only then could she continue her dominion."

...............

"Answer, answer, all must be truthfully answered."

The executives of Mingji Heavy Industries slumped in their chairs, and whether it was the mournful scene at the site, or the board of directors watching through a remote meeting, everyone’s expression was grim.

"The stock prices in Frost Plated District are rapidly falling... all of our subsidiaries are facing protests and demonstrations by Frost Plated People, with many employees caught up in attacks and chaos."

"The current situation is: we’re losing a million Derby every minute, and if this continues, we might not be able to hold onto the market in Frost Plated District."

"And the worst is yet to come—the Frost Plated Government has sent people from the Security Inspection Bureau and the Labor Bureau to inspect our fire safety and labor contracts. The Second Rule is also on its way, no doubt there will be a tax audit..."

"Is this the decision of N4?"

A board member immediately raised his tone:

"We’ve spent ninety years establishing our foothold in Frost Plated, and now just because of her ’telling the truth’, she has exposed everything about Mingji Humanity. All our efforts are going down the drain!"

"What else can we do?" another person gave him a stern look. "She is a Pioneer, the wisest woman on this planet... if she’s wrong, then the whole of Mingji Heavy Industries is wrong."

"I don’t care about that, I only see that our financial empire is crumbling, a large number of small and medium shareholders are losing faith, starting to sell off our stocks."

"So what do you suggest?"

"Impeachment! We must impeach N4, she no longer has the qualifications to be a Pioneer—"

"Idiot."

As everyone was arguing heatedly, the door of the conference room suddenly opened. The stunning figure of N4 immediately reflected in every board member’s eyes.

"Pioneer, you have the nerve to come back!?"

A director stood up and directly started berating N4:

"You have now created the worst strategic defeat in the history of Mingji, as of now, nearly twenty billion Derby in net assets have been lost, and soon 20,000 employees in Frost Plated District will be out of jobs, turning into our enemies, not to mention the stock prices—"

"Are you done?"

N4 said calmly.

"You..."

"You people seem to have forgotten something."

N4 slowly stated:

"Without my Mingji, you’d be no different from a third-rate business. It was I who brought you to this height; you have no right to question me, even if I act unilaterally, you neither have the qualification nor the capability to criticize."

The director, sensing something amiss, noticed a light green fungal spot slowly emerging at the bottom of his eyes. A large amount of fungal spores transmitted through the respiratory tract, entered his brain through his mouth and nose and began to spread rapidly, infecting the entire brain.

Moments later, he stood in place, naturally and calmly stating:

"You’re doing very well, Ms. N4."

N4 looked at the other directors, who also had fungal spots spreading across their eyes.

As her gaze swept over everyone, they stood up in unison, smiling and amiably said:

"You’re doing very well, Ms. N4."

"With no objections, let’s cancel the impeachment then."

N4 stated indifferently, then turned and left.

’In this way, what Leo instructed is accomplished. I haven’t suffered too much loss.’

She raised her hand to check the latest decoded gravitational wave message:

"Well done, Mingji Pioneer. I’ll impart top-notch knowledge to you over the next week."

N4 looked up, gazing at the red-black sky pervaded by Ersha.

"By the way, here is a small gift for you."

Thousands of light-years away, Li Aozi slowly raised his hand as system notifications popped up continuously.
