Chapter 1323: Chapter 1323 Star Sea (128)

Wan Bangda’s smile instantly froze on his face.

Wang Chen’s attitude was too aggressive!

Although Wan Bangda had just acted very respectfully, that was merely superficial. It’s worth noting that he represented one of the top ten major groups in the empire, as well as the Wan family’s super conglomerate.

Not to mention a small empire major or a knight, even imperial generals and great nobles must show respect to the Wanhai Group.

Refusing a toast and drinking a penalty drink?

Wan Bangda instinctively straightened his back, his expression becoming cold: “Sir Wang, I visited representing the group hoping to reach an agreement with you.”

As he spoke, he opened his briefcase and took out a check, placing it in front of Wang Chen.

Then he confidently looked at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen glanced at it and found the check was issued by the Imperial Bank, a bearer bill amounting to 10 million star currency.

The Imperial Bank is the biggest bank in the Holy Light Empire, holding 55% of the royal shares, and is also the issuing bank of universal star currency. Its scale, capability, and credibility are undoubtedly the highest.

Bearer bills from the Imperial Bank are equivalent to cash, and in underground black markets, they circulate even more effectively than cash.

Wang Chen smiled: “What does this mean?”

Wan Bangda replied with a fake smile: “Sir Wang, there’s no need for pretense. I know you saved Xu Chengzhi, the heir of the Xu family, on Tampas Star and are acquainted with Mu Haitao from Delray City. I’ve heard your relationship is quite good?”

“But Xu Chengzhi and Mu Haitao have misunderstandings about our Wanhai Group, making everyone unhappy.”

Wang Chen remained calm: “So you mean to ask me to persuade them?”

“That’s not necessary.”

Wan Bangda lifted his chin: “Sir, you only need to stay out of it, and if the Imperial Military Department asks about what happened on Tampas Star, we hope you won’t say anything unfavorable to Wanhai.”

“That’s it. How about it?”

Wang Chen realized: “So this check is meant to buy my silence.”

Wan Bangda pushed the check on the coffee table forward slightly with his hand: “You put it rightly.”

“Heh.”

Wang Chen lightly blew, and the check flew up in the air and slapped onto Wan Bangda’s forehead with a snap.

Wan Bangda was stunned at first and then hastily grabbed the check down.

Looking somewhat embarrassed.

Wang Chen said lightly: “Manager Wan, please close the door on your way out, thank you.”

Wan Bangda’s eyes twitched, a fierce look flashed across his face: “Sir Wang, it seems you also have deep misunderstandings about our Wanhai Group. Are you really sure about this?”

Wang Chen was too lazy to respond, motioning like shooing away a fly.

“Fine!”

Wan Bangda suddenly stood up: “Wang Chen, let’s wait and see!”

Wang Chen’s attitude was already crystal clear, he knew continuing to persuade would only bring humiliation upon himself, fiery anger erupting like a volcano, various malicious thoughts flashing through his mind.

Before he came, this manager from the Wanhai Group never expected that lowering his stance would only result in harsh humiliation.

His personal honor doesn’t matter, but the reputation of Wanhai Group will not be trampled!

As he turned to leave, Wan Bangda had already sentenced Wang Chen to death in his heart.

Wang Chen watched Wan Bangda leave.

He could completely sense the other’s resentment and murderous intent and knew well the kind of troubles offending Wanhai Group would bring.

But so what?

Wang Chen had no good feelings towards Wanhai Group, but deep aversion.

Profit-seeking capitalism is normal, but there must be at least basic boundaries and conscience, the greed of Wanhai Group knows no bounds.

They obviously thought Tampas Star had no hope of survival, and no one would live, so they sabotaged the supplies recklessly, throwing countless survivors into an abyss.

However deep the water runs within these dealings, it has nothing to do with Wang Chen, and he’s unwilling to get involved.

In fact, the first time Wang Chen returned from Tampas Star and submitted an action report to the Imperial Military Department, he didn’t receive any inquiries from above.

The hot-blooded young Xu Chengzhi must have exposed matters, yet Wang Chen didn’t hear a thing, showcasing the enormous power of the Wanhai Group.

Bear in mind the Xu family is also a noble clan within the empire!

As Wang Chen wanted no involvement with these shady dealings, he didn’t expect Wanhai Group people would come to pressure and tempt him.

Their intelligence was clearly very accurate; they likely knew he had contact with Mu Haitao yesterday.

Mu Haitao’s side surely had informants from the Wanhai Group!

Otherwise, such coincidences wouldn’t occur.

Just a mere 10 million star currency, trying to buy him out, laughingly absurd!

Tigers can easily be mistaken for sick cats if they don’t show their prowess…

Wang Chen thought to himself, his gaze becoming deep.

And Wan Bangda, upon exiting the hotel, glanced back at the building within the Space Fortress, his eyes filled with fierceness and savagery.

He opened his personal terminal, calling the top contact on his list.

The call quickly connected: “What’s the word?”

Wan Bangda lowered his voice: “Target number 3 holds strong hostility toward us, there’s no chance for silence buyout, I recommend decisive measures to prevent losing control of the situation!”

The other party was silent for a moment: “Target number 3 has a sensitive identity and is very powerful, are you sure you can deal with him?”

Wan Bangda hesitated for a second: “I would like to request Shadow Warrior support to resolve him here!”

Shadow Warriors are a secret elite force cultivated by Wanhai Group, tasked with carrying out various covert missions.

Wan Bangda could know about this force only if he had the Wan surname and connections high up!

“I’ll find a way to keep him here temporarily; otherwise, allowing him back to Holy Light Star would be difficult to manage!”

These statements clearly persuaded the other side: “I’ll relay your suggestion to above. Find a way to keep target number 3 in the Space Fortress, at least for three days!”

Wan Bangda revealed a proud smile: “Got it.”

Ending the call, Wan Bangda looked back at the hotel behind him, his gaze vicious.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a creepy feeling, instinctively turning his head to the right.

He saw a driverless hovercar spiraling out of control, plummeting down.

Wan Bangda’s vision was wholly occupied by the hovercar, before he could make any evasive move, it crashed heavily onto him.

Bam!

The heavy collision made the ground quiver, and the hovercar flew several hundred meters forward after falling.

Leaving behind only a large splatter of flesh!

High in the hotel at this moment, Wang Chen stood by the large floor-to-ceiling window, coldly gazing down at the bloody scene that just unfolded on the street!
