The bridge of the Little Skull starship is in the background opposite.

Seeing this scene, Gui Ji couldn't help but think of the scene just now where the Little Skull Starship had utterly crushed three hundred Qian family fleets.

This scale and its power... are quite impressive.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, with his secretary Chu Xuan, Xue Xiaoxiao, and Gu Xiaoxiao standing behind him.

"President."

"Mother."

Gu Xiaoxiao and Xue Xiaoxiao saw the scene on Gui Ji's side and happily waved to Gui Ji.

Guild Master Oni's eyes were filled with joy, but she still pretended to be serious and said, "You're such a grown-up, what kind of behavior is this? Try to control your emotions."

After speaking, Gui Ji looked at Zhao Chen.

"My lord, excuse me, I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

"It's alright. I was just thinking of having a chat with Sister Gui Ji. After all, we still have some reservations about our previous meeting," Zhao Chen said with a smile.

When Xue Xiaoxiao heard the commander call her mother and sister again, she could only wave her fist and stick out her tongue behind the commander.

But under the warning look from Gui Ji, Xue Xiaoxiao could only stand there obediently.

"You flatter us. Our Starshark Guild is more than willing to become your most loyal partner, Lord."

"There will be no reservations about our cooperation," Gui Ji said with a beaming smile.

That's the kind of thinking you have after seeing my skills and abilities, right?

Zhao Chen naturally wouldn't expose these things, and smiled as he looked at Gui Ji, the guild leader: "Yes, yes."

We will become the best partners.

"I wonder if Sister Oni-hime is satisfied with my performance this time."

"Very satisfied. The Dragon Legion's interstellar warships truly deserve to be able to defeat the Holy Angel Legion in the Holy War duel!"

With just one ship, they annihilated all three hundred of the Qian family's interstellar warships.

"It's hard to imagine what it would be like if the Dragon Legion came in person," Gui Ji said with a smile.

The woman's words were loaded with hidden meaning.

It also implies a test.

Zhao Chen chuckled and said, "The Dragon Legion won't come to the Star Alliance in person. To be honest, President Ghost Princess, the only interstellar warships we've brought this time besides this Little Skull are a dozen or so others."

I have a cooperative mindset towards the Star Alliance, not one based on military intimidation.

The subtext of Gui Ji's question just now was whether Zhao Chen had any intention of using force to control the Star Alliance.

To be honest, if the Dragon Legion really marches into the Star Alliance, the Star Alliance's military strength is no match for Zhao Chen.

But was the Star Alliance controlled by Zhao Chen back then the same Star Alliance as it is now?

As the Star Alliance has evolved to its current state, what is truly important is no longer the Star Alliance itself, nor the magnificent Star City.

Rather, it's the network of connections and trade resources within the Star Alliance, as well as its free trade system!

Zhao Chen could easily imagine that if he controlled the Star Alliance by force, he might be able to obtain this place.

But before long, a new 'Alliance of Stars' will emerge in another place.

Therefore, Zhao Chen will not forcibly obtain the Star Alliance, but will control this place within the rules of the game.

This will allow the JF-17 Legion to gain more benefits!

After understanding Zhao Chen's thoughts from his words, Gui Ji Guild Leader breathed a sigh of relief.

She did have this concern: if the Dragon Legion wanted to do that, how would the Star Shark Guild cope? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

That would be an awkward situation where no one is happy about it!

Zhao Chen said he also brought dozens of interstellar warships.

Guild Master Oni didn't think too much about it, subconsciously assuming that they were just some ordinary interstellar warships accompanying them, probably T3-level interstellar warships.

After all, Zhao Chen was the commander of the Xiaolong Legion, so it was perfectly normal for him to travel with dozens of interstellar warships.

It would be strange if there really was only one Little Skull starship.

"Then about our trade cooperation..." Next, President Ghost Princess began to openly discuss the cooperation matters with Zhao Chen.

Previously, Zhao Chen had only used these as bargaining chips in front of Gui Ji.

Now, Guild Master Guiji truly wants to grasp these things from Zhao Chen, which could very well be the future of the Star Shark Guild.

After chatting for a while...

Both Zhao Chen and Gui Ji were very satisfied and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.

Guild Master Gui is very confident that with these trade resources in hand, Star Shark Guild will become the most watched entity in the Star Alliance within three months.

There is even hope that it can transform from its original interstellar adventurers' guild into a comprehensive interstellar trade guild!

They could even seize a significant portion of the Qian family's trade territory.

The JF-17 Legion simply has far too much power.

"Let's stop discussing these important matters here for today."

My lord, I wonder how long you will stay in the Star Alliance.

During this time, if there is anything that requires our Star Shark Guild's help, we are willing to do our best to assist!

"When you visited our Star Shark Guild headquarters before, I was somewhat inadequate in my hospitality. If you are willing, I hope I can give you another grand welcome." Guild Master Ghost Princess asked expectantly.

Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Let's skip the reception and stuff. We'll be staying at the Star Alliance for a while longer; there's one more thing to do."

However, your Star Shark Guild can't help with this matter, and I don't want you to get involved.

Sister Guiji, I hope that the news of our cooperation will be kept secret, and that it will not be known to anyone other than the two of us.

Currently, the only entities cooperating with your Starshark Guild are those five interstellar traders, not the Wraith Dragon Legion.

Zhao Chen's last words were spoken in a very serious tone.

What Zhao Chen is about to do will have a huge impact on the entire Star Alliance, even overshadowing the Qian family's humiliating wedding.

In this situation, if the Starshark Guild were to publicly acknowledge its relationship with the Dragon Slayer Legion, it would put them in a very difficult position.

“Okay, I understand. Our Star Shark Guild will do as the Lord says.”

"But as I said before, whenever you need us, our Star Shark Guild will be your most loyal partner." Guild Master Ghost Princess stood up and gave Zhao Chen the most honorable bow.

Zhao Chen seemed to see the summit of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Zhao Chen paused for a moment, then returned the greeting, and the two ceased communication.

Zhao Chen sat in the captain's chair, muttering to himself, "Why does it feel like... we forgot to talk about something?"

As he was muttering to himself, Zhao Chen saw a figure and realized he had forgotten what he was doing.

Gu Xiaoxiao is standing next to Xue Xiaoxiao.

That's right!

The fiancée I snatched back!
