I cosplayed as the battle-damaged Azure Sparrow and got caught by the Immortal Boat!

Chapter 53 Potio: Have all these people in the company been brainwashed by idiots?

Since the gold dust brought back the deduction video, the entire company's senior management has fallen into a long collective silence.

Finally, in the tense atmosphere, someone suggested in a hoarse voice, "This must be fake information fabricated by the Immortal Ship!"

However, considering their strategic relationship with Xianzhou, they ultimately decided not to pursue the matter further.

Everyone present knew this was self-deception—but at least the meeting could continue.

"There are still too many forces in the universe that fuel greed; it's simply too difficult to deal with..."

Topa, who was invited to attend, interjected softly, "Um...did our company, perhaps...slightly contribute to the power of greed?"

She felt that she couldn't get rid of the blame, especially for the market development department.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted in unison by everyone: "No, no, no, the company's faith in Amber King is beyond question!"

"I mean the implementer—"

"As I've already said, our faith in the Amber King is unquestionable!"

Toppa understood: they accepted it in their hearts, but they couldn't bear to admit it.

The meeting room fell silent once again.

As for Qingyuan—the one who inherited the legacy of the Amber King and could even briefly transform into a Star God and wield the Guardian Hammer—no one could really muster any "malice" towards her.

However, their faith in the Amber King made them unwilling to watch him perish and hand over the rightful inheritance to a celestial general.

Of course, that's a more respectable way of putting it; in reality, the Amber King himself chose a more suitable successor, and not someone from the company, or even from the preservationist faction.

The discussion then turned to how to "uphold the orthodoxy of preservation", "fulfill the mission of preservation", and... "not let the King of Amber fall".

The group then engaged in an "in-depth" discussion.

"Why did the core of the Amber King's legacy—the cornerstone of power that controls the will to change—fall into Sunday's hands?"

"Assuming the deduction is true, then this power likely previously belonged to the Order Star God 'Taiyi'. And Sunday happens to be the Gemini of Order, and perhaps even..."

"So, the 'good fortune' of alluvial gold might also be due to the blessing of its mother goddess?"

And his mother goddess also seems to be related to Taiyi. That's why Qingyuan needs the help of gold dust to briefly unleash the power of the Star God!

"That's right, that should be it."

Soon, everyone filled in the "truth" in their minds: Although Qingyuan inherited the Amber King's legacy, her control over the power of order was weak, and sometimes she even needed to rely on others to make up for it.

In other words, Qingyuan also has its shortcomings and is not superior to the company in every way—at least, the company still holds "order," doesn't it?

Having finally achieved a small victory in their hearts, everyone's expressions improved slightly.

But the thought of the Amber King's eventual demise weighed heavily on him.

No matter how nicely they say it, everyone knows the truth in their hearts.

Ultimately, they decided to poach their employees.

Poach Qingyuan's original associates as soon as possible. Bellenberg? They're practically family, they're bound by faith! Go for it!

—Potio swearing? The Immortal Boat beat him to it?!

Left with no other option, the company had to send someone to negotiate with Xianzhou.

The Masked Fool? How do you dig that out?!

Star Train... Skip.

A sea patrolman? A wanted criminal from the Market Development Department, Potio.

The entertainment industry had been trying to poach him for a long time, but Potio had never paid any attention.

But by comparison, this option is actually the most "reliable", isn't it?

So, in the vast sea of ​​stars, Potio looked at Toppa in front of him, completely bewildered.

Are all the ten people in the company really that strong?

"Not just sisters, but every manager in your company is just as idle as you?"

"With that kind of effort, how many credits could you earn? It wouldn't even cover my meager bounty!"

Topa gave a professional smile: "The company dropped the arrest warrant for you two months ago. Now, we just want to talk to you about cooperation."

"He's such a darling, how could I refuse?"

"Please trust the company's sincerity," Toppa responded tactfully.

then……

"Can he destroy the market development department? Take office, company!"

Two and a half days later, Potio slapped his forehead: "I understand now, that's why you came to me—it wasn't the Masked Fool who got me into his mind."

Is it because your entire company has been taken over by those adorable little devils in the market development department, and you can't even get into your own headquarters?

The entire company is based in a neighboring star system, and they're also monitoring several fleets; they're ready to make a run for it.

"Uh... things aren't as you think." After a moment's thought, Toppa finally showed him the deduced image of Amber King being "bursted out of his body."

"Holy crap... this is worse than being possessed. Are you really sure this will happen?"

Toppa scratched his head: "Anyway, my foundation is real, and my power is real. There are also clips about you in it... You can see for yourself."

Two and a half days later.

Potio played with the prismatic gemstone in his hand—he had only touched Topage's treasure gemstone when it was instantly refined, and then, after being glanced at by the Amber King, the bronze gemstone transformed into a prismatic gemstone.

Of course, some people at the scene were not so calm: a blond man muttered to himself, "Why do I have to improve my foundation bit by bit on my own, and it's still cobalt silver..."

Portio was appointed as the company's "Head of Ethics Review" and granted the privilege of confronting the Marketing Department without any interference.

At that moment, he changed into a white shirt and stood on the stage to give a speech.

Someone nearby shouted, "With the minister here, there's justice! With the minister here, the company will be at peace!"

Before he could finish speaking, the microphone was snatched away by Potio.

"I come to the company for three things—"

His voice was as loud and clear as a bell:

"One Shot, I Love His Little Cutie's Market Development Department!"

Continue to shoot him, love his baby, market development department!

"It's still that precious darling, the Market Development Department!"

"The minister is wise!!!"

"Of course, ethical vetting must also be done."

Company-built mechs costing out of pocket? We'll reimburse you in full!

The company doesn't reimburse either of these. They don't reimburse this or that?

From now on, all expenses will be reimbursed by the bank!

Not enough overtime and you get fired? A complete overhaul—overtime is prohibited without prior approval!

When the subordinates first heard they were to be put in charge of the market development department, they were completely bewildered, wondering if they'd been tricked by the Masked Fool. But now, they were all fired up: "Master Clear Soup!"

Potio raised his hand and fired two shots into the air: "Stand up! No kneeling!"

"Follow me—first stop, inspect the Market Development Department!"

Pierpoint, in front of the Market Development Department office building.

Potio kicked out, the first kick failed to open, the second kick directly mobilized the power of the foundation stone—

"Bang!"

The door panel flew off with a loud crash.

"Hey, my wanted poster's still hanging here?" He grinned, scanning the trembling employees. "You bunch of clever little darlings, I'm here now, why isn't anyone coming to arrest me?"

An unlucky employee scrambled out to explain, "W-how could this be you? The Milky Way is so vast, it's not uncommon for people to look alike..."

"You're saying this isn't me?"

"Of course not you..."

But I say, this is who I am.

"...That's you?"

"Did you hear that? He said that's me." Portio waved his hand. "Smash it!"

The office building was thrown into chaos.

Without lingering, Potio rushed straight to the supervisor's office.

In fact, when the supervisor learned that Potio had been appointed as a minister, he guessed that the company's senior management was hiding something from him—now, it was even more obvious that they wanted to use him as a tool to kill him.

Although he didn't think he would be taken down by a sea patrolman, just in case... as soon as Potio arrived in Pierpont, he activated his ship, preparing to jump away.

Outside the window, the spaceship's engines were already glowing blue. Seeing this, Potio fired a bullet.

The attendant beside him cried out anxiously, "Minister, the bullet missed! He's about to leapfrog!"

Potio simply put away his gun and flicked his finger:

"Let the bullets fly for a while..."
