Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong didn’t deny it, "Of course. My loyalty to His Majesty is as vast as the universe."

"Then I come bearing heavy gifts, only to resolve misunderstandings with you. I’ve shown such sincerity, but you still behave this way, humiliating me. Isn’t this detrimental to the harmony and unity among the Empire’s nobles? Personal grievances must never override the interests of the Empire."

Hearing this, Ren Zhong almost wanted to laugh.

Now you come to me with these grand principles. Back when you wanted to kill me, when you shamelessly suppressed the Red Blade Clan, why didn’t you think about the Empire’s interests?

But Ren Zhong only thought this to himself; on the surface, he remained calm, pretending to be in deep thought, as if truly feeling ashamed by Liu An’s short speech.

After a moment, Ren Zhong sighed deeply, "You have a point. Let’s do this: our meeting is being broadcast live on the first channel of the Nanxiang Star Cluster, so in front of everyone, I’ll apologize to you. How about that?"

"What! You..." Liu An was immediately taken aback, his scalp tingling. This is a live broadcast! Damn it, I’ve been played again.

I, Liu An, wise all my life, and now the entire Nanxiang Star Cluster sees me in this embarrassing state, even the apology has been preempted by Ren Zhong.

Damn it.

I came to you with heavy gifts and you humiliated me, yet it turns out I am the petty one, and you are generous?

Liu An’s breathing became rapid again.

His Chief of Internal Affairs immediately fell into a coughing fit, as if having tuberculosis.

Liu An turned around and slapped the Chief of Internal Affairs across the face, sending him spinning three times and landing far away, "Coughing what cough, if you’re sick, stay honestly in the ship, don’t come out and make a fool of yourself!"

With this slap, Liu An finally vented his anger completely and turned back to the microphone, "Then, I accept your apology, Earl Red Blade. Also, please believe that I sincerely want to reconcile with you. I apologize for the many erroneous decisions made by Nanxiang’s Earldom over the years. To be honest, everyone in the Nanxiang Star Cluster knows I cherish my life greatly, which is why I spend most of the time in slumber."

"In the past hundred years, many decisions by Nanxiang’s Earldom were made based on the subordinates’ reckless interpretations, intentionally misinterpreting my orders. Before I set out, I already conducted a purge among the relevant personnel. Please see!"

Having said this, Liu An turned around as dozens of his followers came forward, each carrying a large box.

Opening the boxes, there were heads one after another, including Liu Jin’s head which, due to severe radiation exposure, continuously emitted a faint green glow.

"This is Liu Jin, the head of my Special Service Bureau. This is Liu Zhenghao, the chief manager of the Commerce Bureau. This is..."

Liu An began to introduce each head’s background.

Ren Zhong and the Red Blade Clan showed no reaction, but within the Nanxiang Star Cluster, many watching the live broadcast were astonished.

For each name Liu An mentioned, the audience secretly gasped.

In the past hundreds or even thousands of years, many of these names were indeed well-known, the real power figures within Nanxiang’s Earldom.

Liu An wasn’t casually killing scapegoats to negotiate; he truly made a significant sacrifice.

Among them were even the woman he forcibly married to Grue Augustus, and her only son.

After introducing the origins of the heads, Liu An called over five incredibly beautiful women to his side, introducing them one by one, and finally said, "These five women embody the highest essence of the biological gene technology within Nanxiang’s Earldom. Besides their beauty, they are also literate, talented, and have an average IQ of 170. They have undergone preliminary training and can almost perform any role. Most importantly, they have the best native gene matching ability, maximizing the improvement of offspring’s genetic quality. Earl Red Blade, whether for your personal use or as a reward for meritorious individuals, they are the best choice. Each of them is worth a resource-rich planet, effectively boosting the average genetic level of the clan!"

Subsequently, Liu An began introducing the scholars behind him.

On the surface, Ren Zhong listened very patiently.

But secretly, he was observing Liu An’s ridiculous display, akin to an old woman selling watermelons.

Ren Zhong commented in his heart, "What perseverance, truly able to bend and stretch. What a good grandson. Trying to use the Goujian model on me, with you, really?"

Do you think I’ve never studied history?
