Chapter 43
The Reason Behind "Equilibrium's" Actions

Justin, the stationmaster, looked at the being before him, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes tinged with a hint of hostility.

As if noticing Justin’s gaze, Louis Fleming sighed softly.

“Please don't misunderstand. While I'm here for the company, I'm not your enemy…”

Louis Fleming said earnestly.

Justin, the stationmaster, stared impassively at Louis Fleming, his expression unchanged.

Seeing Justin's unwavering demeanor, Louis Fleming couldn't help but chuckle wryly.

“I don't know the full story behind this incident.

But I can probably guess that some employees of the company, using the company as a shield, have acted against its core principles.

If bloodshed would appease your anger, you can kill everyone in Pylbpoint, including me. I wouldn't hold any grudge…

But I implore you, please spare the Intergalactic Peace Company…”

The extraordinary middle-aged man bowed before Justin, earnestly pleading.

In that moment, he was no longer the most powerful man in the galaxy under the Stars Gods.

He was just an ordinary man pleading for his children.

“Give me a reason!”

Justin looked at the middle-aged man, calmly speaking.

Louis Fleming nodded upon hearing Justin speak.

“The Intergalactic Peace Company controls the entire galaxy’s currency system, and it's also the leader of the order forces…

Once the company collapses, the credit point system collapses, and all forces, including the Xianzhou Alliance, will be affected. The entire galaxy will experience unprecedented chaos...

The company is the architect of order, and the company's existence has established that the order side still holds sway in the galaxy.

Once the company collapses, the balance of order and chaos will be completely tipped. The company's legacy will also trigger bloody struggles among numerous forces across the cosmos.

Countless civilizations will perish in this chaos, countless lives will be lost, and numerous forces will be actively or passively involved…

The generally peaceful galaxy will completely transform into a true battlefield of hell.”

Louis Fleming didn't recount his past in establishing the Intergalactic Peace Company.

He didn't talk about the company’s initial aspirations...

He didn't even mention the company’s contributions to the Star Sea...

He only talked about the consequences for the galaxy if the Intergalactic Peace Company completely disappeared…

“Of course, I'm not morally blackmailing you with these vague future scenarios!

For you, even if the entire galaxy erupts in chaos, it won’t affect the place you're in.

All I want to say is that I implore you to give the company a chance to live.

All the company's senior executives, including me, are willing to pay the price for this. If that can appease your anger…”

After finishing his last words, Louis Fleming fell silent, as if awaiting Justin’s judgment.

He knew very well that if Justin still decided to do anything, the Intergalactic Peace Company had no power to resist.

The Stars Gods (except for Lan) rarely cast their gaze upon their factions…

And that's precisely why the Preservation Star God didn't intervene when Pylbpoint was split in two.

The “Balance” Star God's intervention was both a response to the potential for the company's collapse leading to a loss of balance and order, and a warning to this unknown force…

It’s common knowledge that in the simulation universe, the galactic environment can genuinely affect the strength of one’s destiny.

Once balance is lost, it means that the “Balance” Star God’s own power will be weakened to some extent… until the chaos of dividing the company's legacy after its destruction leads to a new balance between order and chaos.

Otherwise, until then, the Balance’s destiny would be under this degree of weakness.

It's also why the “Balance” Star God personally intervened to stop this from happening.

Just as He had backstabbed the “Order” Star God during the previous cosmic plague.

People can't speculate about the Stars Gods from their own perspective, but their actions are not entirely without traces…

In the “Balance” Star God's eyes, the company doesn’t matter!

But the chain reaction triggered by the company's demise in the galaxy, the weakening of His destiny, that’s what's truly important!

Justin listened quietly to Louis Fleming’s statement.

After listening, Justin didn't rush to give an answer, but fell silent, lost in thought.

Justin knew that Luo Chen had instructed him not to cause bloodshed.

And, including Justin himself, almost all the members of the Seir Fleet didn't want to see another galactic war.

The Order War that the Seir Fleet had experienced in the Seir Universe had already seen enough tragedies.

The Seir Fleet shouldn’t become the catalyst for another cosmic war…

But, Justin didn’t give Louis Fleming a definite answer.

Justin simply nodded slightly.

“I need the Commander's instructions on this matter.”

“Thank you for your kindness.”

Louis Fleming bowed again.

“If you need it, everyone in the Intergalactic Peace Company can die to appease your anger…”

Justin didn’t respond. He simply activated his Super Nono.

Soon, the communication was successfully connected.

“Commander Luo Chen, the mission is currently more than halfway completed.

Pylbpoint has been completely divided in two, and the company’s senior executives in Pylbpoint have suffered heavy casualties…

But there’s something I’d like to ask for your instructions on…”

Justin, the stationmaster, hesitated but still spoke earnestly.

“What is it?”

Luo Chen on the other end seemed calm.

“The company's lifelong director, Louis Fleming, is willing to exchange the deaths of all the senior executives, including himself, for the company’s survival…”

Then, Justin, the stationmaster, recounted Louis Fleming’s words verbatim.

On the other end, Luo Chen listened calmly to Justin’s recounting…

After a long silence, Luo Chen chuckled softly.

“It seems not all the company’s executives are useless. There are still a few who practice the way of preservation. Unfortunately, why didn’t they do it sooner?

Stationmaster Justin, give that man the Super Nono.”

“Yes.”

Justin, the stationmaster, nodded, and then the Super Nono flew to Louis Fleming's side.

“Sir…”

“No need for formalities, Louis Fleming. You guessed right.

The Seir Fleet truly doesn’t want to trigger another war that will affect the universe, but that doesn’t mean the company can get away with everything…”

After confirming Luo Chen’s words, a smile appeared at the corner of Louis Fleming's mouth. With a look of resignation, he calmly said:

“As long as you can quell your anger and are willing to spare the company, allowing it to continue, I'm willing to hand over all the company’s shares to your faction…

Including myself, the company’s mid-level and upper-level executives, as well as our rank-and-file employees, are all willing to pay the price…”
