Chapter 49 The Dragon Kingdom's Response
"Once you've settled your affairs on Earth and returned to Holy Radiance with me, you'll have access to any content in the Holy Yuan Technology Database at any time. That's the true foundation of our lineage of male angels!"
Hannibal's reminder was like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering Su Yi up.
Yes, I was almost blinded by the petty gains in front of me.
How could the Rhine and their team, who have painstakingly built up their technology over 30,000 years, not have their own technological reserves?
The value of the Saint Yuan Technology Library far surpasses that of Deno III!
Moreover, that's something that belongs entirely to our own camp, so there's no barrier to learning it.
While there are some short-term benefits to being deeply aligned with the Chinese government, this may not be the case.
However, in the long run, it may restrict one's freedom of action and even force one into the political and military struggles within the planet.
This contradicts my primary goal of rapidly accumulating power!
Sometimes, maintaining a relatively detached status is the wiser choice.
Having thought this through, Su Yi had already made up his mind.
He raised his head and looked at Old Huang, who had been patiently waiting for his reply, a smile of apology yet determination on his face.
"Mr. Huang, thank you very much for your high regard."
"The knowledge base of Denuo III is extremely attractive to researchers who have studied in the Netherlands."
""
Upon hearing his words, a hint of anticipation appeared in Old Huang's eyes.
"but!"
Su Yi changed the subject, "I'm sorry, I can't accept this cooperation invitation at the moment."
Upon hearing this, Old Huang's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Can you tell me why? Is it because you feel the compensation is insufficient, or are there other concerns? We can discuss it further."
"No, the pay is very generous."
Su Yi shook his head. "There are two main reasons. First, my current identity and situation are rather special. Too much cooperation with your country's government may bring unnecessary trouble and risks to both sides. For example, it could trigger an overreaction from Dukao and even the Super God Academy behind him, which would be detrimental to the current overall situation of uniting against the alien invasion."
"second."
Su Yi glanced at Hannibal and continued, "My companions and I have our own priorities and goals to pursue. We need to maintain a certain degree of independence. Being too closely tied to your country might hinder the achievement of these goals."
After listening, Old Huang remained silent for a moment.
His deep gaze slowly swept across Su Yi and Hannibal's faces, as if assessing the true intention behind his words.
Finally, he sighed softly, a hint of regret on his face, but more so, understanding.
"I see."
Old Huang nodded. "Mr. Su Yi is very thoughtful. It is rare for someone so young to have such composure and foresight. Maintaining the status quo is indeed the safest approach at present."
He stood up and extended his hand to Su Yi.
"However, the gates of the Dragon Kingdom are always open to the two of you."
"Definitely, thank you for your understanding."
Su Yi also stood up and shook hands solemnly with Elder Huang.
After Su Yi and the other left, Old Huang's smiling face instantly turned gloomy.
The gentle, profound light in his eyes faded, replaced by a cold, sharp, and solemn look.
.
He slowly sat back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, making a dull sound.
Clearly, Su Yi's refusal put him in a difficult position.
After a long while, he pressed a very hidden button under the table.
hum!
As the button was pressed, ripples appeared on the walls of the conference room, followed by the emergence of several clear projected figures.
Among these figures, some were dressed in military uniforms with general's stars on their shoulders. Others wore formal administrative attire, exuding a composed demeanor, while a few, though simply dressed, naturally radiated the authority of someone who had long held a high position.
They are the core members of the highest decision-making body of the Dragon Kingdom, holding the helm of this ancient nation!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Old Huang's face. Seeing the lingering gloom on his face, everyone understood what was going on.
"Old Huang, why didn't that kid agree? Could it be that the Deno III knowledge base we promised isn't substantial enough?"
At this moment, an elderly man with gray hair spoke first, his voice loud and clear, tinged with resentment.
"No, that's not true!"
Old Huang shook his head and said after a moment's thought, "I can sense that the other party was initially interested."
"However, for a moment, he seemed lost in thought. I think it was a problem with his entourage that led to our failure!"
"Moreover, he seems genuinely unwilling to get involved in the internal conflicts of our planet!"
"hateful!"
Upon hearing what Elder Huang said, the old man slammed his fist on the table in front of him.
At this moment, the elderly man in the center slowly spoke.
His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority: "Old Zhang, calm down. We've never had control of Deno III. That thing has always been firmly in the hands of Dukao and his Deno descendants. What are we going to give it to them with? Our mouths?"
Upon hearing this, the projectors in the conference room fell into a brief silence.
Yes, the compensation they just discussed was nothing more than wishful thinking and a scheme to get something for nothing.
They might be able to exert pressure on Ducao with the power of the state apparatus, but how easy would it be to completely seize control of Denor III and its core database?
That would inevitably trigger unpredictable conflicts and backlashes.
Old Zhang's face darkened when he was exposed, but he still argued, "We can apply pressure and find a way..."
'
"Alright, Lao Zhang!"
The dignified old man interrupted him, "Since they've seen through it all and don't want to get involved, why should we force them? It was a gamble to begin with; if we lose, we lose."
"At least, we've figured out this young man's attitude. He currently has no intention of getting deeply involved in the power struggles within Earth, which in itself is extremely important intelligence."
Old Zhang opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh in despair and fall silent.
He understood that what the leader said was true.
However, the anxiety and unease he felt about the growing power of the Deno descendants made him somewhat lose his composure.
"Chief, what should we do next?"
"Ducao and his group have been deeply rooted in China for a long time, and their influence has already permeated every aspect of life. If we do nothing, I'm afraid..."
'
"Is it true that the Dragon Kingdom is slowly becoming a springboard for the revival of the Deno people?"
The leader took over the conversation, his gaze sweeping over each of his colleagues present. "Our forefathers fought bloody battles to bring this land back into our own hands. We must never let history repeat itself here."
His tone wasn't harsh, but the determination within it was immense.
"But, Chief."
Another elderly man with a refined appearance and glasses said worriedly, "We don't have the power to counter the super soldiers. Conventional weapons have limited effect on them, while Dukao and his group not only have super soldiers, but also technological support from the Super God Academy. In a head-on confrontation, we have no chance of winning!"
