Chapter 439: Small talks!
He never expected there would come a day when the top echelon on this planet Earth would be waiting for him to finish his dessert and speak.
That\'s why... strength rules.
He needs to be stronger so that he doesn\'t have to bow his head in front of anyone.
He decided this since the day he learned about cultivation from Xia Shenyi.
After finishing another bite, Zhao Tian wiped his mouth with a napkin and spoke in a calm tone "From now on Ebon Luohe will give us protection and resources."
"They have also agreed to share their knowledge in technological advancements."
W-WOAHHH!!!
The people at the conference were taken aback and looked at each other in bewilderment that Zhao Tian managed to pull it off even though they were on the receiving end.
Hm? Lyra Talon, however, remained unaffected by the buzz around her. Licking a bit of whipped cream off her spoon, she quirked an eyebrow, "Seems like that geezer has taken a liking to you..."
"He even accepted to share his technology... Hm, I am amazed, Zhao."
Hearing this, the people there looked at Zhao Tian in admiration.
Wang Hui who was the Chinese president, had his face darkened \'I-I need to... build a bigger statue for him!!!\'
\'And the creation of new money bills with the face of Mr.Tian is already in preparations.\'
"By the way..." Zhao Tian\'s voice cut through the excitement, drawing the attention back to him. He retrieved a small square box from his storage ring and casually placed it on the table in front of him.
*flick* A large holographic screen appeared from the small box brightening the whole room and the video of the fight between Zarek Talon and the Space Pirates arks began to play.
Everyone was amazed by the new technology and more than that, they were shocked to see the power of Zarek Talon as he easily crushes the arks in space.
Nomming his cake, Zhao Tian muttered "They are space pirates and Mr.Zarek protected us from them. Mr.Zarek I mean, he is Lyra\'s father."
"He has promised that he will return in two weeks with one of the groups to aid our star."
They all listened to his words intently and nodded their heads "That\'s great..."
"We should be grateful to them."
"We will never forget this help from Ebon Luohe..."
"The Emperor himself helped us.."
Hearing their comments, Zhao tian stayed silent as he contemplated \'I need to talk with him about the plan Xue\'er told me.\'
Mm? Lyra Talon who was eating her dessert raised an eyebrow as she spoke "Ah, my father is calling me."
*flick* With a faint light, a small blue hologram screen popped out from the watch Lyra was wearing and the face of Zarek Talon appeared.
"Oh, father..."
Zraek Talon who was on the video call sighed "When are you returning, we need to go back to our star."
Lyra took a spoonful of the cake and nodded her head "I am with Zhao right now, we are eating desserts, hehe."
Zarek Talon glanced at Zhao Tian who was beside Lyra Talon and smiled faintly "Mr.Tian."
Zhao Tian returned the smile, respectful but with the confidence of an equal. "Mr. Zarek, I have some things to discuss with you," he replied smoothly.
Raising an eyebrow, Zarek nodded his head. "We can talk, Mr. Tian. And Lyra," he added with a faint sigh, "bring him with you when you return."
"Yeah, yeah... let me eat in peace first," She muttered, rolling her eyes playfully as she ended the call with a tap.
She canceled the call and again began to dig into her desserts.
After a few more minutes of casual conversation with the world leaders, Zhao Tian and Lyra eventually stood and made their way toward the exit of the conference hall.
...
*swoosh* The sliding doors opened with a gentle hiss, revealing a spacious, elegantly designed room. A
t the center of the chamber sat Zarek Talon, waiting for Zhao Tian, his hands resting casually on the table.
"Mr.Tian..."
Looking at Zhao Tian\'s casual attire Zarelk Talon couldn\'t help but chuckle "Bahaha..."
Lyra Talon gently hit Zhao Tian\'s shoulder with her elbow "See you later, Zhao. Contact me later when you are free." .
Nodding his head, Zhao Tian walked up to the seat beside Zarek Talon and Lyra left the room.
As he sat, Zarek Talon placed his hands on the table to lean in closer "Mr.Tian, are you trying to court my daughter?"
Hm? Zhao Tian shook his head "Not yet..."
Not yet? Nerves popped in Zarek Talon\'s face hearing this "You have some guts to say that to my face... Mr.Tian."
Zhao Tian smiled dryly, holding up his hands in a gesture of peace. "Mr. Zarek, chill out. Don\'t take it too seriously," he said, his voice calm and steady. "I didn\'t come here to talk about that. I actually have a request."
Zarek Talon leaned back leisurely on the seat "Let me hear it, mr.tian."
With a nod, Zhao Tian also began to talk about the idea Ning Xue gave him.
Upon hearing the details, Zarek Talon nodded his head "It is doable."
Zhao Tian was quite surprised that he easily accepted and Zarek Talon spoke "You can dissolve the Monarchy in this uh Zhenzhu."
"And having some people from your side and our side in power is great so there won\'t be any conflicts in between the forces."
With a slight frown, Zarek Talon spoke "The space pirates may attack again. I first thought of keeping some of my forces here to protect your star before I go and bring back one of the main forces."
"So, now... I shall place Sorion here in this Solar system for two weeks to protect you from the Space pirates."
"En."
Smiling, Zhao Tian stood up from his seat and extended his hand "Thank you, Mr.Zarek..."
"My pleasure, Mr.Tian." Zarek Talon replied shaking his hand.
...
Xia Shenyi, Zhao Ying, Zhao Suyin, Chi Miya and Ning Yueli were sitting on the couch in the living room, glued to the tab in Zhao Ying\'s hand watching the telecast of Zhao Tian\'s talk with the reporters.
At this time, Mei Xiu came there and glanced around at the living room "Where is Tian?"
Xia Shenyi turned to look at Mei Xiu who was on the stairs "He has finally... thought of finishing the black pagoda and is headed there."
"Oh, that\'s good."
"WAHHHH! I TOLD YOU! BROTHER TIAN IS CHEATING ON US AFTER ALL... SEE! THIS WOMAN IS CLAIMING TO BE BROTHER TIAN\'S GIRLFRIEND."
eh?
