“Sel engineer?”
Scott was taken aback by Hill’s words, but then he suddenly realized.
“You’re talking about that strange-looking robot?”
Before Scott could finish his sentence, Hill sternly retorted.
“Please mind your words, Mr. Scott.”
“Okay, okay.”
Scott glanced at Luo Chen, who stood quietly beside them, watching their conversation, and quickly waved his hand in agreement.
It was clear that the girl with the scythe represented the young governor’s attitude.
If he couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, he wouldn’t be able to talk to the governor.
“This is actually a misunderstanding. We accidentally entered that strange area, and then a bunch of Rift World monsters appeared…”
Scott then began to explain seriously.
After listening to Scott’s explanation, Hill finally relaxed her vigilance.
“So, you were just an accidental intrusion. You thought the Sel engineer was a Rift World monster, so you attacked.”
Hill summarized the situation.
Scott nodded affirmatively.
Hill understood and stepped back, making way for Luo Chen.
Luo Chen walked calmly in front of Scott, looked at the man, and introduced himself calmly:
“Commander of Sel, and Governor of Belobog, Luo Chen.”
Hearing Luo Chen’s title, Scott raised an eyebrow, nodded, and politely introduced himself:
“Intergalactic Peace Company, Strategic Investment Department, Non-Performing Asset Liquidation Specialist, Scott. You may not know this name, but it’s okay…”
“No need. I know. Intergalactic Peace Company, the faction that protects the Star Gods, the actual controllers of the credit point system…”
As Scott spoke, Luo Chen suddenly interrupted.
Scott wasn’t surprised. They had discovered that this planet seemed to have two civilizations when they were carefully observing from Earth orbit.
One was Belobog, which was recorded in the company’s files. The other was a civilization the company hadn’t recorded.
After careful observation for a period of time, the company confirmed that this civilization should have just left its own star system.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a small ship only 300 meters long, a civilization that raised special creatures like herding.
Although they had initially guessed that this was the reason behind the planet’s changes, they ruled out this possibility after several days of observation.
All the creatures they herded were not recorded in the company’s database.
But the universe was vast, and there were countless things the company hadn’t recorded. Moreover, these creatures hadn’t shown any extraordinary combat power.
Of course, the most crucial factor was that the ship eventually detected the strongest energy source on the entire planet, located somewhere deep within the planet.
This was also the reason why Scott and his team believed that the planet was changing. It was deep underground, right where they landed.
“Since you know, then we can talk. We have something important to discuss with you…”
Scott finally calmed down and said steadily.
“No need, I know what you want to talk about, the debt!”
Luo Chen said calmly.
Scott laughed.
“Since you know, then you must also know that you’ll never be able to pay back this debt…”
“I’m very clear.”
Luo Chen said directly.
“However, I’d rather you all apologize to Sel, and to the injured Sel engineer, instead of talking about the debt…”
Luo Chen’s gaze showed a seriousness as he spoke.
Scott seemed to realize it.
“Mr. Luo Chen, I seem to have said it before, it was just an accident…”
Scott spoke coldly now.
“So?”
Luo Chen looked at the man and chuckled, asking back.
For Luo Chen, every member of Sel was undoubtedly family.
Although there were differences in closeness, they were all family in the end.
Luo Chen naturally wouldn’t have a good face for the company if their engineer was bullied by their people.
It wouldn’t be any different if it was Topa, instead of Scott.
“We were indeed at fault in this matter, but no matter what, my colleagues and I were trapped in that area for dozens of hours, fighting Rift World monsters.
I believe that such a punishment is enough to appease your anger…”
Scott took a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions and said.
Behind Scott, the company’s employees all nodded in agreement.
“What you have endured is just punishment for injuring our engineer. Punishment never means you can avoid responsibility.
Therefore, I hope Ms. Scott will apologize to Sel and the engineer…”
Luo Chen repeated his words again.
Scott sneered completely.
“Mr. Luo Chen, I think I’ve made it clear. My employees almost lost their lives because of your traps.
I haven’t held you accountable for your actions during this process, because we were indeed at fault.
My view remains unchanged, we have already received the corresponding punishment, we should both take a step back, it’s good for everyone.
After all, we’re the creditors, aren’t we?”
Scott said particularly seriously.
After the spaceship’s observations for so many days, Scott and his team had become convinced that this so-called Sel civilization was just a fledgling civilization.
For Scott, Sel civilization was just a juvenile civilization that had stumbled upon good fortune and emerged from the starry sea.
They came to this planet, successfully colonized it and became the masters of this planet.
But that didn’t matter. Since they had become the masters of this planet, Belobog’s debts should naturally be borne by them.
Such an astronomical number, this civilization would surely not be able to afford it. And wanting to get rid of the burden was very simple.
This so-called Sel civilization, together with the special creatures they herded, and Belobog, along with the sovereignty of this planet, all belonged to the company.
In other words, this planet was already in the company’s bag, as far as Scott was concerned.
As for whether they wanted to, Scott didn’t care. No one wanted to pay off their debts, it was normal, but she was just a debt collector.
Conflicts with debtors happened too many times for Scott.
Scott believed that after incorporating this planet into the company’s territory, and after removing Belobog from Sel civilization’s oppression, perhaps they would even thank her.
