Chapter 352: Each of Us Makes Our Own Decision, We Don’t Need You
"Mr. Uzummi, we have seen your ideas and your enlightenment. Thank you very much for clearing up our confusion." Malu stood up and bowed to Uzummi with Bakilulu and Mu.
These words were indeed thought-provoking for them. Their hearts were still shrouded in the fog of confusion and they could not see the way forward, but Uzummi's ideas were also a beacon for them, illuminating one direction for them standing at the fork in the road.
…
After the meeting, the three returned to the Archangel. Following the Archangel to Orb were several warships and a small number of soldiers. Their military ranks were not as high as Malu's, so Malu was asked to negotiate as a representative. Now that Malu and his men were back, they were eager to know the result.
"Captain Lamias, what's going on? What did Orb say?"
"Will they drive us away?"
"Did they put forward some very excessive conditions? Will they force us to join Orb?"
"None of them."
"None of them?"
"Yes, Mr. Uzumiya has no intention of driving us away, let alone forcing us to join Orb."
Then, Malu relayed the conversation between Uzumiya and them to others word by word. After listening, some people couldn't believe it, because Orb was so good to them. Except that they couldn't run around now, there were no restrictions. They were free to join or leave; some people were ashamed because they just judged others by their own standards.
But what followed were all tangled and complicated expressions.
To be honest, when they came to Orb, they felt an unprecedented peace. There was no war, no orders, no intrigues between officials, and no mutual betrayal among the top leaders.
But... they were all wearing the uniforms of the Earth Army, and some of them had been wearing them for a long time. Even if they were abandoned, it would be difficult to take them off all at once.
"Everyone, we all have time to think about whether to stay or go, but I think you also know that the Atlantic Federation has announced that we fought to the last soldier and were completely wiped out, which means that we are already dead in their eyes. I believe you all understand what this means, so... please consider it carefully." Malu reminded them that Malu had already made a decision in her heart, but this was only her personal decision. All he could do was remind her and look forward to it.
"Captain Lamias, do you choose to stay in Orb?" asked one of the captains.
"...Yes, but I will not join the Orb army immediately. I want to stay in Orb and use my own eyes to find my future and witness the philosophy of Orb."
"...I know."
Everyone understood Malu's approach and respected her very much. They respected everyone on the Archangel. It was not the Archangel. They had already turned into charcoal in Alaska or buried in the sea.
"Everyone, I look forward to your final decision."
After saluting each other and dispersing, Malu, Mu and Bakilulu returned to the captain's room of the Archangel.
"Have you really decided?" Bakilulu asked Malu.
"Yeah, after all... he's here too, isn't he?" Malu's tired face was filled with a gentle smile. When she came to Orb and got close to Yang Hui, she felt a lot more relaxed.
"... I'll stay too, and I'll join the Orb Army." Bakilulu directly stated her final decision.
"Eh?" Malulu and Mu were surprised. In their eyes, Bakilulu was the one least likely to stay. She was born in a military family. Although her iron-blooded demeanor had been changed a lot by Yang Hui, it had not disappeared. Moreover, if Bakilulu wanted to join the Orb Army, it would mean that she would be an enemy of her family.
"I have disobeyed the military's transfer order. According to military law, I will be sentenced to life imprisonment or execution. I don't want to die." Bakilulu said with a red face.
"Uh, haha." Malulu and Mu laughed. They heard that this was an excuse. In fact, Bakilulu, like Malulu, or even more, just wanted to stay with Yang Hui.
"Major Flaka, what about you?" Malulu asked Mu again.
"Me?" Mu pointed at himself and laughed at himself. "I don't want to die either, so of course I have to stay."
Hearing this, Malu and Bakilu understood. Mu, like Bakilu, disobeyed the transfer order. If he wanted to live, he would not be able to return to the Atlantic Federation.
"So, the three of us stayed?" Malu joked.
"Yes."
"I will continue to take care of you in the future, Captain, Vice Captain."
"Well, please take care of me, Natal, Major Flaka."
"That's too much. She is just a name, and I am a surname plus a rank, and it is an invalid rank."
"Hahaha." Seeing Mu's mischief, Malu and Bakilu covered their mouths and laughed.
"By the way, what are you going to do with the others?" Mu asked with concern. He had confidence in his companions on the Archangel, but he still had to let them make their own decisions.
"Let's wait a few days, let everyone have a good rest, and then ask them what they think. It's their freedom to leave or stay."
"Everyone on the Archangel is an excellent fighter, we can't let them leave... Although I really want to say this, I don't have the right to say it now."
"Haha, it's true, we are all defectors now, hahaha..."
...
Not only the Earth Army accepted by Orb, but also several nobles of Orb have different thoughts.
They were all the ones who chose to hand over Yang Hui without hesitation after receiving the conditions of the Atlantic Federation. Originally, they thought that the weak Uzmi would accept it for Orb, but who knew that this time Uzmi was uncharacteristically rejected and sternly refused.
Not only Uzmi, but also Yang Hongyu and other three patriarchs of the five major families, and even the old Sahak, who had always been at odds with Uzmi, opposed handing over Yang Hui.
This frightened them because they had offended five of Orb's top nobles in an instant.
Of course, if this is the case, they are just worried that they will be in trouble, and they will be able to pass the test by handing over some family interests. But now they are already planning to pack up their belongings and run away, because this move also offended Yang Hui.
Uzumi and others are not scary, they just have more power than them. In terms of family power, they are not ranked as high as the five major families, but they are not far behind. Moreover, Uzumi and others are rule-abiding people and will abide by the rules of the aristocratic circle. Unspoken rules.
But Yang Hui wouldn't. The choices he and others made were enough for Yang Hui to regard them as enemies, and Yang Hui was like a mad dog to his enemies and would definitely bite them to death.
No, that night, the heads of the Sailan family, the Matt family, the Takasaki family, and the Hilton family who chose to hand over Yang Hui to the Atlantic Federation were "invited" to Yang Hui's personal residence for tea.
A total of eight people, led by the Sailan family, were sitting on their own sofas with trembling legs. The tempting black tea and exquisite desserts were placed aside without daring to move or say a word, because Behind them, there were two strong men in black suits and sunglasses standing behind them, one on the left and one on the right, with their hands behind their backs.
"Tap tap tap..."
The silence was broken by the approaching footsteps. The door to the room opened, and the young figure who frightened them slowly walked in.
"Yang...Yang Hui...we..."
The head of the Gaoqi family couldn't bear the pressure anymore. He was sweating profusely and was about to stand up to plead with Yang Hui, but as soon as he stood up, he was pushed back to the sofa by the black suit behind him.
Yang Hui nodded to the head of the Gaoqi family with a smile, looked around at everyone, sat down in his seat, and slowly tasted the black tea and desserts.
"Well, it tastes pretty good. I thought your uncles were not satisfied with the black tea and desserts."
"Yang Hui, I...we..."
"But it's no wonder..." Someone else spoke with a trembling voice, but Yang Hui ignored him and continued on his own, "...all the uncles are the heads of the family. Although the family is not among the top five, it is almost the same. I have been living in fine clothes and fine food, so it is normal for me to be unaccustomed to the simple food and food here. Although the Yang family is one of the top five families, for the development of Orb, all the money has been drained. Please forgive me, uncles. "
"Understand...understand..."
"The Yang family understands justice well, and we cannot be stingy. I will hand over 40%, no, 50%, of the family property to the Orb state." "I will hand it over too! I will hand over 60%!"
"I also……"
…
Seeing everyone express their opinions, Yang Hui nodded with a smile: "Thank you uncles for your understanding. Orb is in crisis now. It requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. With the support of uncles, I believe we will be able to successfully survive this crisis." It’s a difficult time.”
"Yes Yes Yes."
"It's all...all for Orb..."
"Since...it should be like this..."
"Then let's leave first. There are still things at home..."
Everyone thought that Yang Hui would let them go if he accepted their compensation. One or two people hurriedly stood up to leave, but were pushed back by black suits.
"Don't worry, everyone, my nephew has one more thing that he needs your help with."
"Please...please say..."
"For Orb, we can all agree..."
"Since it's Xiaohui who speaks, I won't refuse."
…
At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Yang Hui would not make conditions. As long as Yang Hui made conditions, it would mean that there was room for negotiation and they would not be directly eliminated.
But when Yang Hui said his request, they couldn't sit still.
"You also know that Orb has recently added two new territories, one is a giant floating platform, and the other is Papua New Guinea. These places need people to manage them. All the brothers, brothers, sisters and so on in your family are all Elite talents, with such a great opportunity, why not show your talents and contribute to Orb? "
"Yang Hui! You..."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Don't go too far!"
…
Property is all external things and can be earned back as long as they are alive, and their wealth is amazing. Even if only 10% is left to them, they can live a wealthy life.
But... what Yang Hui wants is their descendants!
This is impossible to agree to, this is digging their roots!
Although they are all nobles, Orb's law also allows polygamy. Each of their families has at least three or four wives. But the strange thing is that each of their families is a single descendant. Maybe some families have two or three, but Never more.
As for the aristocratic custom, only the best among them are selected to be cultivated, and the others are basically kept free-range and have little family ties with the family.
And the person Yang Hui wants must be their chosen heir, not an insignificant person. Once Yang Hui takes the heir away, their family will have no future!
It's not that they can't reproduce, or can't change someone to train, but Yang Hui's attitude is to dig up your roots, one by one, as long as you dare to train a new heir, I dare to take it away!
"Really?" Yang Hui was not angry, but felt that the group of people in front of him were stupid and didn't realize the current situation at all.
"Kacha~"
The sound of pulling the bolt rang out in unison, and everyone's blushing faces turned pale in an instant. Turning around, they saw the dark muzzle of the gun close at hand.
"Yang Hui... what are you going to do!?"
"We are... but the heads of the nobles!"
"You... you dare not kill us!"
"Yes! Uzmi... Uzmi will never allow your atrocities!"
...
"Oh? I dare not?" Yang Hui smiled, handed down the teacup and stood up, came to the head of the Sailan family, Unat Sailan, took the gun in the black suit, and pressed it against his forehead.
"Guess, do I dare?"
Yang Hui still had a gentle smile on his face, but in their eyes, he was colder than the Nine Nether Ice.
"Yang... Yang Hui... I..."
"Bang~!"
"Ah~!!!!"
"Hahahaha..."
Of course, it wasn't Yang Hui who fired the gun. He just uttered a sound, which frightened Unat Sailan so much that he squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. The other family heads also collapsed weakly, and some even had wet crotches, emitting a pungent smell.
"Don't be afraid, uncles and aunts. Of course I don't dare to kill you. I am a model of law-abiding." Yang Hui threw the pistol back to the black suit, looked around with disdain, and sat back in his seat.
"Yang... Yang Hui..."
"But I don't know, uncles and aunts, what crime can these things be convicted of according to the laws of Orb?" As he said that, Yang Hui gestured to the black suits, and they took out a terminal from their pockets and handed it to the person in front.
Everyone took the terminal with trembling hands and opened it. Their pale faces turned even paler. There was no trace of blood in their eyes. The blood rushed to their eyes and was covered with bloodshot.
"Yang Hui! You can't do this!"
"It's over... It's all over..."
"I still have money! I can still give you money! I'll give you all my property!"
...
Some people burst into anger in despair, some people resigned themselves to their fate, and some people begged for mercy humbly. There was no unique ugly posture.
"I have only one condition. If you agree, these secrets will remain secrets. If you don't agree, the people from the Judicial Bureau are next door."
"Agree! I agree!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed. They didn't dare not agree. Every terminal recorded the evidence of their abuse of power to make profits for themselves and cover up their crimes after knowingly breaking the law. One by one, without any omissions. If these were exposed, they would spend their whole lives in prison at the lightest.
Descendants are important, but their own lives are more important! So they chose themselves without hesitation and abandoned the descendants and future of their families.
"Very good, I will accept the kindness of all the uncles and aunts. Tomorrow someone will go to your house to invite all the young men and ladies to take up their posts. I believe you will not play the trick of replacing the prince with a cat?"
"No, no."
"Well, I believe you."
The final result has been determined, Yang Hui got up and left, and someone will send them home later.
"Yang Hui!" The frustrated Unat Sailan glared at Yang Hui with bloodshot eyes, "Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage by doing this!?"
"Haha." Yang Hui, who was about to walk out of the room, stopped in front of the door, turned his head, and smiled coldly, "People who are not needed by Orb will cause public outrage? Don't make people laugh."
