Chapter 410: Chapter 409: Playing the Victim Card
Los Star.
Alien Race headquarters were ablaze with lights and decorations.
Every member of the Alien Race was beaming with joy; all they had to do was wait for the treaty to be signed, and then the Alien Race would possess two hundred Level 4 planets.
For the Alien Race, which had always lived in danger, this was an unprecedented event.
As for whether the Human Race would tear up the treaty afterward, that was a gamble they had to take.
Meanwhile, at the treaty-signing venue on Los Star, there was a large group of reporters from the two major federations of the Human Race.
They had all been invited to come and would report what happened here at the fastest speed, letting all the common people in the world know that their Human Race had produced a traitor, named Wang Hao!!
Among the reporters was the chairman of Dream Chasing Media, Pan Jiayi.
At this moment, Pan Jiayi was also seething with anger; she had not expected Wang Hao to go so far this time, actually betraying national interests.
Therefore, she decided to put justice before family ties and expose Wang Hao's vile visage to the world, letting everyone know what kind of person he was.
Beside her, Little Ai tentatively asked, “Sister Jiayi, are we really going to report on Young Marshal like this!?”
“Of course!” Pan Jiayi said sternly, “Even though Wang Hao has shown me kindness, I will absolutely not bow down to evil powers in the face of national right and wrong.”
“Little Ai!!”
At this moment, Qin Feng ran over with a surprised face, hugging Little Ai and spinning her around in the air a few times.
“Brother Qin!” Little Ai exclaimed with joy.
Pan Jiayi's face grew cold as she snatched Little Ai back, huffing, “Qin Feng, if Wang Hao is a traitor, then you're an accomplice. I really didn't expect you to fall so low.”
Qin Feng gave an awkward smile and hurriedly explained, “It's not what you all think, Young Marshal was also compelled by necessity.”
“Compelled by necessity!?” Pan Jiayi scoffed, “Who could force him!?”
Qin Feng looked around and whispered, “Young Marshal is only doing this as a temporary strategy. Once the Dark Elves are repelled, the Human Race's army will come here.”
“What!?” Pan Jiayi was stunned.
Qin Feng continued, “Did you really think that without approval from above, Young Marshal could sign such a treaty with the Alien Race!?”
Realization dawned on Pan Jiayi, her face flushed red with embarrassment as she felt she had been a bit hasty and had wronged a good person.
But she couldn't blame herself, who would have known at a glance that Wang Hao was no good!
Qin Feng cautioned, “This matter can't be leaked, or Young Marshal's meticulous planning will be in vain. Plus, you must portray Young Marshal as utterly despicable, only then will the Alien Race be more convinced.”
“Ah…” Pan Jiayi was dumbfounded.
If she hadn't known Wang Hao's plan, she would definitely have reported it.
But now that she knew everything, reporting it would disturb her conscience, wouldn't it!?
“Alas!” Pan Jiayi sighed deeply, her opinion of Wang Hao greatly altered. Although shamelessly dishonorable, he saw through to the heart of major principles and was even willing to sacrifice his reputation; he was a true hero.
Thinking this, Pan Jiayi's face flushed intensely as her mind started to wander.
Now that everyone in the world was spitting on Wang Hao, only she knew he was a great hero. Should she seize the opportunity to comfort his wounded soul!?
Pan Jiayi shook her head, casting out these wicked thoughts, but the seed had already been planted and seemed impossible to shake off.
Signing hall.
On either side of a long table, sat Wang Hao and the Half-Horse People representative, Kaylon.
Wang Hao spoke softly, “After my tireless efforts, I finally convinced the Human Race's high-level officials to cede 200 Level 4 star planets.”
No sooner had his voice faded than the entire Alien Race erupted into a frenzy, excitedly shedding tears and embracing each other.
“Now it's good, we finally have a home of our own.”
“We can't get too excited too soon because nobody knows if the Human Race will tear up the treaty.”
“Right, once the 200 star planets are in our hands, we'll immediately develop our own defensive systems.”
“There's no rush for that, the Human Race is currently held up by the Dark Elves and won't be free to deal with us for at least a decade or so.”
“Yes, with more than ten years, we can definitely establish our own defense systems.”
“Our Alien Race also once had its own civilization, which was destroyed by the Human Race, but the technological secrets are still preserved.”
“Indeed, as long as we create those big guys, self-defense won't be an issue.”
“That said, for the next decade or so, we can't relax for a moment, can we!?”
“If we don't want to be driven back to the Alien Star System, then don't be afraid of getting tired–roll up your sleeves and get to work!”
“Bull Demon King, you are truly a great hero of our Alien Race.” Kaylon wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, the sudden feeling of having a home when he had been adrift made it impossible to control his tears.
Wang Hao sighed, “For the Alien Race to have a home, what does it matter if I lose everything!”
Kaylon was taken aback and couldn't help asking, “What happened!?”
As soon as he spoke, Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, who stood behind Wang Hao, rolled their eyes. With their boss playing the pity card like this, they knew he was about to start his scheming again.
However, they didn't know what Wang Hao had his eye on this time.
Wang Hao sighed, “Those in the Human Race's high echelons are just too deceitful. They took five Angel's Hearts and still weren't satisfied, stripping all the equipment from the Young Marshal Army, emptying my years of savings, and had the audacity to say that since I went to so much trouble to help the Alien Race, I must have received benefits from them, so taking these treasures from me wasn't excessive.”
“Scoundrels!!” Kaylon slammed the table in fury, wishing he could tear those Human Race high-ups apart.
At the same time, Kaylon also felt great admiration. For the future of the Alien Race, the Bull Demon King not only changed his appearance but also sacrificed his love by marrying a Human Race woman.
Now he was left bankrupt, how could they not admire and be moved!?
Wang Hao waved his hand, “Please, Lord Kaylon, don't be angry. Now that my mission is completed, I plan to retire and live a life of idle comfort, so these earthly possessions really don't mean much to me.”
“You're going to retire!?” Kaylon was anxious. Now was when the Alien Race needed talent, how could he let such a person retire!?
But considering the hardship Wang Hao had endured, Kaylon didn't know how to persuade him to stay.
After all, those experiences were too bitter. If it were an ordinary person, they'd probably have committed suicide already.
But the Bull Demon King not only gritted his teeth and persevered, but he also managed a brilliant comeback, securing a territory for the Alien Race to develop.
Now if he felt weary of the world and wanted to retire, what could Kaylon say to that?
Kaylon thought for a moment, as if he had made a certain resolve, and said seriously, “Bull Demon King, I know you're tired. But before you leave, could you accompany me to a place? If you still insist on leaving after visiting, I will not hold you back and I promise that if you ever need anything in the future, our Alien Race will do everything in our power to help you.”
Both Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao's eyes were filled with shock. Could it be that Kaylon had accepted their boss and was now preparing to let him access the Alien Race's core secrets?!
