Zhao Elin smiled exasperatedly. While the two were being coy with each other, reporters had already arrived on t.i.ta Star in droves. This was the request of the Milky Way Alliance.

This battle had been painted as a counterattack by the valiant t.i.ta, and was also the first time the giants’ fighting power had been recognized.

One had to know that the giants in the past had been relegated to mining. Who knew that they had such tremendous fighting ability?

If t.i.ta Star could improve the capabilities of the giant mecha, and complement it with the agility of the giant armor, they would have both offense and defense. Such firepower was not easily ignored.

Of course, most importantly, the t.i.ta fighters were brave and saw death as glory. Such an army probably only existed in the h.e.l.l of Arbiter.

Even if their fighting power was a tad weaker, they had such conviction. Anyone else coveting t.i.ta Star would have to think twice.

Besides singing of the victory, many reporters were also very interested in the silver super mech. Presently, no country had such a model of super mech. Wings were seen as aesthetic decorations, but clearly this mech’s wings were not just for show.

Mu Sen repeated the same script to all outsiders. This was the brilliance of their t.i.tan G.o.d. No one but the t.i.ta people believed it. Besides, it did seem like a mystical power. The mech had also disappeared after the battle, and become an unexplainable mystery. Of course, it was also because everyone’s attention had been drawn to the political situation and the reconstruction.

In this battle, Solar System Federation council member Ye Bingwen was again back in the spotlight. He had been the first to jump out and report the allied forces’ invasion plans. Of course, they had not taken him seriously then, but now that the narrative had been decided, Ye Bingwen’s early response had granted him a nomination to the Milky Way Alliance council. In the Solar System, there had originally been three names, but now Ye Bingwen had received one.

In terms of politics, Ye Bingwen had made a wonderful advancement. One should know that in the Solar System, only the council chairman and the chairman of the three major planets had a chance to enter. This was a political position.

Once one had a voice on the Milky Way Alliance Council, no matter how small, it meant a lot to the Solar System. Put simply, Council Member Ye was now above the other members. At the same time, he already had natural allies on the Milky Way council. t.i.ta Star, Hail Cloud Alliance…

This was power that could not be ignored. A new wave of political influence was emerging in the Solar System.

But this process was not one that was worthy of envy. It was a rebirth after being annihilated. If the t.i.ta people had lost, he would also have to face the music. Even if he could keep his status as a council member, he would have no speaking rights.

Lya Sphinx. Jasper hung up the Skylink and shrugged irritably. “Brother Yan has no time for me. His wife is injured.”

Beside him was a beautiful and elegant girl. It was the chairman of the Karuna business community club, Laurel, the face of the Lya Sphinx Federation’s upper echelons.

Clearly, her relations.h.i.+p with Jasper had progressed rapidly till this day. Only, neither’s bubble had popped.

Laurel nodded. Birds of a feather flock together. If Jasper was friends with people like Yan Xiaosu, then she would not do badly either.

“This victory is really unexpected. A miracle.” Laurel smiled slightly. In truth, she and Jasper had pushed for Lya Sphinx’s partic.i.p.ation. But Lya Sphinx’s condition was that Hail Cloud Alliance would also act. And they were cautious, requiring the battle to be decided. In truth, Laurel had felt that the t.i.ta people’s chances were not even 1 in 1,000. There was no luck in war.

And even if they won the war, the superpowers had to act, or it would be for naught. Hail Cloud Alliance was an older superpower, with a lower profile compared to Aslan and Arbiter. But its resources were deep, and its military strong. It had always walked the middle road. It would not normally care about these trivial matters, and it would be difficult to persuade them. But Hail Cloud Alliance had actually acted. That could be predicted. In such a situation, when Lya Sphinx was also willing to act, then going with the current was no hards.h.i.+p at all. But even the overall Council Chairman had stepped up, and this situation was becoming significant.

The one driving the entire affair was unenviable. It could be said that Diweng and Jiro were finished. These recent years, it was one of the few times Aslan was publicly embarra.s.sed.

“How much did you put in the market?”

“Body and house,” Jasper said casually.

Laurel was stunned. She knew what body and house meant. If t.i.ta Star had lost, then the Jasper before her very eyes would be a pauper. Even his family would abandon him.

But Laurel was interested. “I’ve known you for a while. You don’t seem like the reckless type.”

Jasper smiled. “Rash? A little, but the key is that there is one in our world who can work miracles.”

Jasper did not know the truth, but he would swear that this was all connected to that person who had appeared at Yan Xiaosu’s wedding, who could turn any situation.

“Miracle as in, when there is no more road to move forward, he can fly!”

Jasper knew that he was not qualified to even approach that guy. But it was not the first time that he had seen such miracles.

“I would like to meet such a person too,” Laurel said.

“There will be chances.” Jasper smiled. “It seems like a good time for us to harvest.”

“It’s already begun. Congratulations, General Manager Jasper.”

“Likewise, likewise.”

Jasper’s judgment had elevated him far beyond his previous successes. The family had already designated him as the protégé. This meant that the family would focus resources to groom him, and complement his tactics and growth. The future head of the family. Words of enormous weight.

One day, he would reach the top of the mountain, and look down at how small everyone else was.

Men, all the same!

Aslan Empire.

In all the years that Kashawen had ruled, her iron grip and draconian tactics had defined her. But this was definitely her first failure. The only good thing about this was that her many years of work had allowed her to smooth the situation over. After all, the Alliance also did not wish to turn things ugly. What must be left lying should be left lying.

While they were all top superpowers, Aslan and Arbiter adopted different approaches. Aslan was accepted by more countries, but such recognition would not feed them. In terms of nature, Aslan and Arbiter were the same. They needed the military spending of regional wars to bring them funds and influence. Clearly, super-gravity energy ore was not everything.

But this time around, they had kicked a metal board.

Many sources of intelligence said that there had to be some mastermind behind this whole affair. Although they were an enigma, they could cause the Solar System, Hail Cloud Alliance, Lya Sphinx, and even the Council Chairman to band together. This person was not to be underestimated.

Kashawen kneaded her forehead. Her plans to grow the Aslan economy could not stop. But this time, she had to pause and reflect. At the same time, she needed to remove the bad reputation.

Aslan was unafraid of spending money. But who would have thought that the t.i.ta people would not be bought? Kashawen was inadvertently reminded of that council footage.

Could it be because of that?

Unlikely. Mu Sen seemed like a decent political opponent.

But Kashawen, for the first time, was a little lost. All she could do was offer more benefits to soothe the situation.
