Chapter 1385: Compensation for Me
Even though Su Yu was lying, the Stellar-level elders exchanged glances, and no one stood up to accuse him. After all, this was a highly private matter.
"Fine, we won't press the issue," Chairman Lemoy said, ready to move on to the next topic.
But at that moment, Su Yu spoke up, "Honored elders, I've used up my most precious treasures, suffering immense losses. Could you give me some compensation?"
"Compensation?" Chairman Lemoy was taken aback.
"Exactly," Su Yu nodded earnestly. "This treasure is worth at least four to five billion Psychic Coins. Can the authorities compensate me for my losses? Even half would be fine!"
"Well, that's..." Chairman Lemoy and the other elders were speechless. They had just been discussing Su Yu's self-interest, but now they realized they had underestimated him. His greed was far stronger than they thought! Asking for compensation for using his own treasures was something they had never seen before.
Who does that? If everyone did, the government would go bankrupt in no time.
"This issue can be discussed at tomorrow's council meeting," Chairman Lemoy said, trying to avoid the matter gracefully. "We'll discuss whether to compensate you and the exact amount during the meeting."
"No, no!" Su Yu knew that once the matter was brought to the council, it would never pass. The council would never agree to such compensation.
So he quickly came up with a plan, "Honored elders, let's not wait until tomorrow. I hope to receive compensation today, and a substantial amount at that!"
"Why?"
The Stellar-level elders looked at Su Yu in confusion. Why was he suddenly being so pushy?
Su Yu said seriously, "Because I have a list of items that can repair the AI Blue Whale. I need to collect these items, and time is of the essence. I have to leave the Hub today and won't be able to attend tomorrow's council meeting. Therefore, I hope you can compensate me today."
"Oh... you're going to... wait, you can repair the AI Blue Whale?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, the Stellar-level elders were collectively stunned! In an instant, they quickly moved to surround Su Yu, all eyes fixed on him.
Their excitement caused a massive pressure to radiate outward, shaking the entire Haminis city.
"Su Yu, you... you can repair the AI Blue Whale?!" the Stellar-level elders were particularly shocked.
What they were most concerned about wasn't Jared's betrayal, but the AI Blue Whale's malfunction. "Protecting the AI Blue Whale" was the task given to them by Lord Berna, and the Blue Whale was crucial for the upcoming war, even more so than any of them!
The AI Blue Whale's failure left them in a difficult position to explain to Lord Berna at the Hub.
They were in a dilemma, and now Su Yu claimed he could repair the Blue Whale? If he could, it would be a monumental achievement! It's never too late to mend.
So they all stared intently at Su Yu, waiting for his confirmation.
Su Yu did not disappoint the elders. He nodded seriously and confidently.
But before he could speak, the sealed Jared suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, repair? Don't be fooled by him! How could that be possible?
Su Yu, do you even know the specific problem to talk about repair? You're just trying to scam some money... Mmmph..."
Jared's taunting was extremely arrogant, but halfway through, Ashley silenced him with a wave of her hand. The traitor was too noisy.
