Chapter 1233: Represent Earth

The room became silent. Ruan Xiao waited for Ye Zhongming to understand what he meant. Ye Zhongming was also thinking about the choice he was about to face.

“Continue.”

Ye Zhongming’s word was cold, but he didn’t mind.

“There are three factions above.” This Cannibal Chain manager started to describe what he knew.

“Huoer Star Faction, Reina Star Faction, and Hesu Race Faction.”

The people in the room listened quietly. They knew this was probably the answer they had always been searching for.

How did the apocalypse start? What was up with the wheels? What kind of race was the Slave Race?

“If you want to know the exact situation of the three factions, I can’t tell you more. It isn’t that I don’t want to say it, but I don’t know.”

Ruan Xiao drank a mouthful, “Cannibal Chain is in Huoer Star Faction. We are the spokesperson of the Feinas People. They helped a lot when we built our alliances here.”

This was the name of another race that Ye Zhongming memorised.

“Five Ring Money also has some factions behind it, and they belong to Reina Star.”

Ye Zhongming thought about it. At least from his analysis, there were no signs that Ruan Xiao was lying.

It didn’t mean he was only telling the truth, but it sounded real.

When he was in Bright Water World, the color change meant another faction would try to convince Ye Zhongming. It was very orderly as if they had discussed things. From the information he received and what Gore Race said, although the Reina Star Faction were competitors internally, their viewpoints were the same.

Ruan Xiao’s body sunk into the comfortable sofa. Things that he knew still filled him with shock.

“Why are there factions? Why did they come to Earth? Are they above us now? Why don’t they come down? What are the laws they have to abide by? Did they cause the apocalypse?”

Ruan Xiao smiled awkwardly when he heard those questions.

“I know you would have these questions, but I can’t answer them much as I also don’t know.”

“But.” He said, “I know that there are a few factions because their attitudes toward the wheel are different.”

Ye Zhongming was solemn and placed his hands on the chair's handles, “Different attitudes? They don’t control the wheels?”

“No.” Ruan Xiao replied, “From what I understand, the wheels aren’t controlled by a single faction, which is why the factions have different views. Our Cannibal Chain is in the Huoer Star Faction, and we disagree with the wheel’s control of planets. Reina Star Faction are the firmest protectors of the wheel.”

“I think you understand what I mean. Huoer Star opposes, and Reina Star approves!”

So that was the case! Ye Zhongming lowered his head. Some questions were answered, but he had more. The most basic one, concerning the wheel and the apocalypse, still hadn’t been answered.

“Manager Ruan came to get me to join Huoer Star faction?” Ye Zhongming asked.

This question was more of a confirmation.

The biggest reason why Ruan Xiao came to speak to Ye Zhongming about all this was most probably to persuade him. After all, Cloud Peak was very strong. Ye Zhongming was also a target of many Reina Star Faction races. If he could join them, it would increase their strength.

“No…” Ruan Xiao felt a little awkward. “Cannibal Chain and I don’t have the right to represent the Huoer Star Faction. I only told the Feinas People before I came, but they didn’t say anything.”

Ye Zhongming didn’t react, but the others were not happy.

Since Cannibal Chain was the spokesperson of others, your words should represent your master. But you told us that your master expressed that they knew but didn’t give others clear instructions. So why were you here?

Moreover, no matter the faction, people from the Reina Star Faction personally recruited Ye Zhongming. They might just want to use him, but at least they met him personally.

What was the meaning of this? Making a joke out of them?

“If that is the case, then is Manager Ruan’s visit a little disrespectful?” Xia Lei squinted and questioned him.

He coughed, “Boss Ye and Lady Xia Lei, I came here for your good with no intentions to underestimate you. You might not be clear, but based on some rules that I am not sure about, Earth is closer to Reina Star Faction’s territory. So, although Huoer Star Faction has influence here, it isn’t as big as Reina Star Faction. After all, if Cloud Peak joins Huoer Star Faction, you might be targetted by other factions.”

This explanation made sense. Ye Zhongming didn’t select Reina Star Faction. If he joined Huoer Star Faction now, he would definitely be targeted.

“But you definitely aren’t here just to spread a message to me, right?”

He asked.

“Of course not.”

He tapped the table and adjusted his thoughts.

“I hope to work with Cloud Peak so you can develop quickly and not be forced to choose a faction like us due to pressure.”

“We are all from Earth. Cannibal Chain and I respect Boss Ye’s choice in Bright Water World. If possible, we hope to see someone representing Earth and not puppets being controlled by others.”

He placed his wine glass on the table and leaned back onto the sofa. He glanced at the few Cloud Peak leaders. He said everything he should and it was time for Ye Zhongming’s reply.

Ye Zhongming’s answer was something he didn’t expect.

He asked. Who is Su Race?
