"Yes," Allison nodded in agreement, "This matter could be very tricky. I hope to have your guidance throughout, as I'm unsure of how to approach the Empire's officials."

"It's hard on you."

The old man patted Allison's arm and then turned to look ahead, continuing to quietly discuss something with the others.

Allison straightened up, took two steps back, and sat back down in his seat.

In his mind, scenes of the White Ghost wildly slashing through the Insect Swarm appeared.

He couldn't understand why this Pioneer trial would introduce such a perverse competitor from a high-dimensional civilization. From one perspective, how weak must this guy's home planet be?

Allison now had to admit that he...

He was a bit anxious.

...

Two Galaxy Times later.

The Empire's 'Peace Petition Investigation Team' escort fleet completed its warp, crossing the Empire and New Federation's conflict space and entered the actual control zone heavily guarded by the New Federation.

The convoy included not only a few technical experts but also a batch of news reporters keeping live media coverage.

The escort fleet was quickly surrounded by the New Federation Fleet, but the latter did not initiate an attack. Instead, they sent senior officers to connect with the escort fleet.

Almost simultaneously, the New Federation's diplomatic department held a galaxy-wide press conference. This brief conference did not include a question-and-answer session but simply announced a statement.

The gist was:

[The Empire's reliance on strong military power to oppress other political entities within the Milky Way is evil, unjust, and contrary to the long-term development of human civilization in the Galaxy. But the New Federation is willing to embrace peace and give the Empire a chance to rectify its mistakes, allowing the Empire's investigation team to conduct 'restricted and controlled' investigations related to assassination cases. Everything is for peace, freedom, and democracy.]

Although it sounded nice, these words indeed fooled some people;

But the decision-makers of various political entities throughout the Galaxy knew that this was the New Federation admitting defeat.

Not only did they admit defeat, but they also acknowledged the Empire's longstanding supremacy, and for a long time to come, they would lose the confidence to confront the Empire directly.

After the press conference, several economic indicators of the New Federation began to soar—markets judged that the two major political entities would maintain relative stability;

Within the New Federation military, there were some 'piercing' and 'intense' voices, but these voices were quickly suppressed, maintaining overall stability.

Half an hour after the conference, three transport ships completed the warp, appearing in the New Federation's strongholds within the escort fleet that the Empire had previously warped into.

Above these three transport ships, three massive flags were projected, causing the surrounding New Federation generals to nearly suffer a stroke.

These three flags were:

The Empire's military flag;

The Empire's national flag;

The White Ghost fan support club's exclusive supporting flag.

Inside the central transport ship, Yang Ming looked at the supporting flag above the left transport ship, somewhat uneasy in his heart.

They were currently surrounded by the New Federation Fleet, and if any of the young and impulsive commanders ordered an attack, he could only rely on the cell clusters stored in the Dark Star for regeneration.

This thing, the soldiers of the New Federation can withstand?

As it turns out, they did endure.

The senior generals dispatched by the other side took a small ferry boat to meet with the members of the investigation team.

An aunt wearing an elegant long dress sighed: "They actually didn't attack us."

"This is the Empire's power," Yang Ming turned around and smiled, "We should also prepare accordingly, gentlemen. Let's stick to the plan we set earlier, you handle the arguments, and I'll handle the duels. If a physical conflict occurs, I'll make them experience the power of the Emperor's Power regime."

More than a dozen Empire officials simultaneously chuckled and returned to the conference table.

Yang Ming, however, had no intention of returning. He waved, and Da Wa and Er Wa brought over a set of tables and chairs. He sat by the porthole, holding a wine glass, crossing one leg, and watching the door that could only be opened several minutes later.

He had never imagined that he could arrive in the New Federation in this manner and connect with Minter City.

All the various high-tech devices on him had been removed. —The other side would certainly use the strictest security checks, so bringing them through wasn't realistic.

But no worries, Lyu has been operating in Minter City for some years now, arranging to deliver some special equipment to Yang Ming on the ground is no big deal.

Yang Ming had already begun to look forward to this trip to the New Federation.

He had two points of anticipation.

First, the New Federation's National Patent Bureau secret archives.

Second, seeing if he could find the second Pioneer.

This guy who likes to remain hidden, who knows what exclusive intelligence he has; if he could figure out the activation rules for "Faya's game" from him, it couldn't get any better.

When this trial would start had already become one of Yang Ming's top concerns.

At the same time.

Aboard the East Wind, which had already arrived first in the airspace near Minter City.

Mimili hummed the latest single from Daphne, standing in front of the projection mirror, constantly admiring her beautiful figure maintained at a perfect standard, while 'donning' outfits through projection, preparing to make a large online purchase.

Uncle Hanton broke up with his Captain Catherine.

—This is the best news Mimili had heard this year.
