Chapter 1112 - 1105: Yang Xiao's Revenge
Long Aotian smiled slightly, stood up, bowed to the Emperor of Great Dragon, and said:
"Father, I have stayed on Purple Origin Star for nearly a year, and had considerable contact with Yang Xiao, gaining some understanding of the development of Wildman Valley.
Back then, Yang Xiao adopted very favorable investment policies to attract a large number of mining investors, developing thousands of mines without exerting his own strength.
If we can conquer Purple Origin Star, we can also adopt similar investment policies."
"Didn't we have policies for private miners before?"
"That's different. Previously, we only brought out resource-poor areas for investment, and the commissions we levied were quite high, so those mineral merchants earned relatively little.
Before Yang Xiao appeared, those miners could still persist despite the difficulties, but Yang Xiao suddenly appeared and offered very favorable investment conditions, immediately attracting the private miners in our territory to him.
If this time we can conquer the entire Purple Origin Star, we can face all the miners on Witch Star for investment, attracting them to come and invest. We only need to sit and collect commissions, which is practically a way to make a huge profit!"
The dozens of high-ranking officials at the meeting also nodded in agreement, not forgetting to give Long Aotian some flattery, as Long Aotian was the one to inherit the throne.
"Great, the Eldest Prince's idea is very good!"
"The Eldest Prince's move is brilliant. If we can conquer the entire Purple Origin Star, our Great Dragon Empire will have an important evolution resource base for future development."
"Blessings upon our Great Dragon Empire, the Eldest Prince is wise!"
...
The Fourth Prince and others participating in the meeting smirked, feeling uncomfortable inside, yet could not point out any errors.
The Emperor of Great Dragon nodded, looked at Long Aotian appreciatively, and asked:
"According to the Eldest Prince's account, the head of the Wildman Tribe, Yang Xiao, is quite a talent. But I still can't understand why the head of the Wildman Tribe proposed a new plan two years ago, offering us substantial discounts, and why now there's a sudden change to alter the distribution plan?
Wouldn't they worry that our Great Dragon Empire might attack Purple Origin Star in anger?"
Two years ago, Yang Xiao came to the Great Dragon Empire to negotiate a new cooperation plan, hosted by War God and the Eldest Prince Long Aotian.
As the Emperor of Great Dragon, I had never met Yang Xiao, nor knew about War God's later orders that Yang Xiao could not return to Purple Origin Star, nor about the final order to send someone to assassinate Yang Xiao.
Upon returning to Purple Origin Star, the first thing Yang Xiao did was take revenge on the Great Dragon Empire, joining forces with other empires to alter the crystal stone distribution plan.
When Jino returned to Witch Star, he reported the matter to the Emperor of Great Dragon. Upon knowing, War God and Long Aotian felt immediately ominous.
At this moment, facing the Emperor of Great Dragon's question, Long Aotian and War God naturally dared not report truthfully.
Long Aotian stammered a bit,
"Father, I suspect that Yang Xiao must have been beguiled and enticed by the Flying Leopard Empire, receiving some benefits privately, having the audacity to act recklessly."
The Fourth Prince suddenly spoke:
"Father, the sudden challenge Yang Xiao posed to our Great Dragon Empire has deeper reasons."
Everyone was stunned and turned to look at the Fourth Prince.
The Eldest Prince glared at the Fourth Prince unhappily and reprimanded:
"Fourth Brother, what do you know? Stop talking nonsense."
The Fourth Prince smiled slightly and said:
"Brother, don't be anxious, listen to me slowly explain."
Sitting on the throne in the great hall, the Emperor of Great Dragon looked at the Fourth Prince and said:
"Fourth Prince, let me hear what you know."
"Yes, Father."
The Fourth Prince bowed to the Emperor of Great Dragon.
The Eldest Prince Long Aotian had no choice but to glare at the Fourth Prince with hatred, daring not obstruct further.
Since Long Aotian was designated as the future heir to the throne, his attitude towards the other princes had been very arrogant.
The Fourth Prince and others temporarily lost eligibility for the competition, but secretly, they continued to monitor Long Aotian and gather information.
Coincidentally, the Fourth Prince had gathered information on Long Aotian's assassination attempt on Yang Xiao, understanding some of the background details.
Previously, this info held little significance to the Fourth Prince, but today it seemed different.
The Fourth Prince respectfully bowed to his father and said:
"Father, Yang Xiao comes from Earth. When I was on Earth, he happened to be a king in my jurisdiction. His Beast Soul is peculiar, his evolution speed surpasses ordinary people, and he's extremely intelligent."
The Fourth Prince's introduction immediately caught the interest of the Emperor of Great Dragon, and he said:
"Oh, it so happens he used to be under your jurisdiction?"
"Not precisely under my jurisdiction, just happened to belong to my domain of Xuanming District. People on Earth are always puzzled by the sudden changes encountered by their planet. I infer they must have found some clues and suspect that we caused the catastrophe on Earth."
"Fourth Brother, why are you saying so much nonsense? If you don't know, don't babble, it wastes everyone's time."
Long Aotian lowly reprimanded, wanting to stop the Fourth Prince from continuing.
The Fourth Prince didn't get upset, glanced at his father, found he was not intending to stop, thus continued:
"I'm not aware of Yang Xiao's matters on Purple Origin Star, but I have some understanding of his issues on Witch Star. Two years ago, Yang Xiao indeed came with a new cooperation proposal seeking collaboration, but later something unpleasant happened. I estimate this event led to Yang Xiao's change of attitude towards our Great Dragon Empire now."
The Emperor of Great Dragon asked immediately upon hearing:
"What happened?"
The Fourth Prince glanced at Long Aotian and said:
"Brother, may I ask, two years ago, did you prevent Yang Xiao from returning to Purple Origin Star, instructing all empires not to allow him to board an interstellar spaceship?
Did you even send people to assassinate Yang Xiao, correct?"
Few people knew about the Eldest Prince's assassination of Yang Xiao, since these were executed as secret missions, with permission and support from War God.
Ordinary people, even if they disregard the Eldest Prince, dare not easily offend War God.
Now, the Fourth Prince publicly mentioned this secret event, surprising many in the great hall.
In their impression, Yang Xiao, as the leader of Purple Origin Star, should be treated as a distinguished guest, how could he be chased by Long Aotian?
Even the Emperor of Great Dragon was quite shocked, swept his gaze over Long Aotian, and coldly asked:
"Eldest Prince, is there such a matter?"
The Eldest Prince was startled, then replied with gritted teeth:
"Yes, Father, but,"
"Don't explain now, I only need you to confirm. Fourth Prince, continue."
The Emperor of Great Dragon seemed very dissatisfied with Long Aotian.
The atmosphere in the great hall was somewhat peculiar.
The Fourth Prince nodded, glanced at Long Aotian, and continued:
"Based on my understanding, Yang Xiao was pursued everywhere by the Eldest Prince's people, having nowhere to hide, eventually fleeing to the Flying Leopard Empire,
Yang Xiao was fortunate enough to be admitted into the Flying Leopard Academy,
Yang Xiao cultivated at Flying Leopard Academy for two years, meeting the Eldest Prince Wanyan He, who was also cultivating at Flying Leopard Academy,
Half a year ago, Wanyan He returned to the Flying Leopard Empire Capital, piloted an interstellar spaceship, bringing Yang Xiao back to Purple Origin Star,
Upon his return to Purple Origin Star, the first thing Yang Xiao did was announce the change of the old crystal stone distribution plan and introduced a new crystal stone distribution plan,
I suspect, Yang Xiao is exacting revenge for the past assassination attempts by the Eldest Prince!"
