Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 536: Chapter 509 New Armament (Subscription Request)

Earth Federation headquarters building, Fang Xianzheng walked out of Conference Room One with a splitting headache.

Around him were a group of political leaders, all with furrowed brows and grave expressions, full of concern.

Fang Xianzheng walked alongside his political ally and fellow member of the People’s Party, the vice-chair of the ‘National Welfare Committee,’ Caroline Bellucci.

This woman was not only a seasoned Congressman but also the co-chair of the People’s Party’s National Committee, her position within the People’s Party second only to the chair of the party.

“Old Fang, about your daughter, you might need to be more concerned.”

Caroline Bellucci spoke gravely, “Based on our polls and supercomputer analysis, the Bright Front’s election prospects look good. This time, their campaign could land six to seven Congressional seats, and over 150 local council seats. If the election becomes tense, our People’s Party and the National Society Alliance might have to court the Bright Front to form a coalition government.”

This meant they would have to relinquish one or two critically important positions to gain the support of the Bright Front.

“If possible, I hope you can personally consolidate the Bright Front soon. Their electoral district overlaps significantly with ours, which is a severe drain on our votes. Considering she is your daughter, this is practically fratricide.”

Fang Xianzheng thought to himself that she was seriously underestimating her.

According to internal intelligence analysis from the Sky Blue Group, it’s highly likely that the Bright Front could end up electing about 10 to 12 members.

This doesn’t even take into account the changes brought about by Lin Rui—once he tops the University Martial Arts League, the enormous popularity he’s gradually gained from his martial arts teaching videos and high-quality skincare products would also bring certain votes to the Bright Front.

Moreover, the ‘Light King Sect’ led covertly by Lin Rui is expanding. Fang Xianzheng received accurate intel that about three days ago, the ‘Light King Sect’ executed a decapitation strike and consolidated Heart of Light Number 6.

—The Sixth Base City has the highest number of followers of the Bright Holy Sect, with 42 million faithful, 6 million of whom have legitimate citizenship.

In the Seventh Base City, under the astounding financial support from Lin Rui, the number of citizens who are followers of the ‘Light King Sect’ has reached 7 million.

Meanwhile, the Bright Holy Sect and the Light King Sect have begun fierce conflicts, with a clandestine sect war already underway. However, from the current analysis, this does not affect the election prospects of the Bright Front.

All this top-secret intelligence had been encrypted at the highest level by order of Fang Xianzheng, even his closest confidants were not privy to it.

Fang Xianzheng thought his son really resembled him, although he was somewhat soft-hearted and at times overly lenient, he possessed excellent affability and coordination skills, strong situational adaptability, and was very cautious and pragmatic.

This election, Fang Ranran had truly impressed him.

Only Linghu Mingde was not far from death, with only two years left to live.

With the Bright Front securing so many Congressional seats, not only could they not hold onto them in the future, but it would also pose a tremendous risk to Fang Ranran herself.

“Consolidate? You overestimate me, you should know who’s behind the Bright Front—that’s my father-in-law, Sky Fox!”

Fang Xianzheng turned back and looked at Caroline Bellucci indifferently, “Has the party internally discussed what position to offer Fang Ranran, and what privileges to grant the members of the Bright Front?”

A deal requires bargaining chips, and the People’s Party wants to integrate a Bright Front that could secure over ten Congressional seats without giving anything in return? How could such a good deal exist?

Caroline Bellucci frowned, she wanted to mention the election districts of the Sixth to Tenth Base Cities, all under the responsibility of Fang Xianzheng.

But she then thought it meaningless; Fang Xianzheng would say he had already fulfilled his duty, and public is public, private is private.

As long as the People’s Party’s performance in these five districts is not worse than the previous election, Fang Xianzheng’s position would be as solid as Mount Tai, and his work beyond reproach.

So, this matter had to be discussed by the real concerned bigwig.

Caroline shook her head and changed the topic: “What do you think about Great Song’s final ultimatum?”

“It’s a big trouble for us. We have just started our research on the Abyss and only 1/3 of the Dyson Sphere’s defense system has been completed. The most important ‘Dyson Gravitation Capturer’ is still far from completion. Without it, even with the Dyson Cannon, we can’t aim accurately.

The Space Home project has currently only completed two Space Home-class warships, including our capital’s. Thus, we have no power to confront the Abyss. Of course, what kind of strength the Abyss can exert in outer space is still unknown.”

Fang Xianzheng shook his head slightly: “In any case, the Longevity Association has brought us big trouble.”

Caroline smiled bitterly: “We must avoid war, and we can also declare the ‘Longevity Association’ as an illegal organization and eradicate it. However, we absolutely cannot hand over Zang Shaochen! Just like Li Xianglong said, doing so would not only disgrace our national dignity but also make every Alien Walker among us feel endangered.”

Unexpectedly, in this meeting, Li Xianglong was the first to oppose handing over Zang Shaochen. The Federation could arrest him and interrogate him, but handing him over was not an option.

Fang Xianzheng thought, how easy could it be to arrest Zang Shaochen?

Zang Shaochen himself was a major military leader within the Federation, with nearly half of his forces under the Second Starship Group equivalent to his private army, and he also commanded a massive smuggling fleet with deep-rooted foundations.

It was feared that the moment the Federation issued an arrest warrant, Zang Shaochen might raise a rebellion, further complicating the internal political situation of the Federation.

Moreover, with the powerful Longevity Association standing behind Zang Shaochen, once the Federation began a full-scale eradication of the Longevity Association, there might be the risk of a civil war.

“Actually, I believe the key to this matter is to come up with a satisfactory proposal for the Eastern Abyss.”

Just then, Fang Xianzheng suddenly let out a light exclamation: “Our President has great courage, not inferior to that person from 200 years ago.”

He had received an email stating that the President had decided to form a delegation and personally go to Luojing, Great Song, to negotiate with Great Song and the Eastern Abyss.

Fang Xianzheng and Caroline Bellucci exchanged glances, each seeing the gravity in the other’s eyes.

The President’s move, successful or not, would be a strong boost for the formerly dominant party in a low-electorate setting, the National Society Alliance.

Lin Rui’s convoy had already arrived at the entrance of Rui Fang’s Armored Biological Research Institute.

Not only had the convoys of Linghu Mingde and Fang Ranran arrived, but Fei Yunlai, Wang Tianwu, Gong Hengdao, and others had also arrived.

Sima Lin and Xie Qing also came to the entrance of the institute to welcome the arrival of these three major investors, Lin Rui, Fang Ranran, and Linghu Mingde.

Fei Yunlai and others were actually full of doubt, curiosity, and anticipation. Although they didn’t know what the major research breakthrough Lin Rui spoke of, they knew their boss, despite being a bit crazy and adept at deception, usually kept his promises.

Just as they entered the laboratory, Xue Lingxue first handed each of them a confidentiality agreement.

—They even used Level 8 Dragon Skin Paper, utilizing the powers of two Divine Venerables to ensure the reliability of the contract.

Fei Yunlai was even more surprised and thought: does the boss really need to be so formal? After all, we are his people in life and death, isn’t it unnecessary?

He carefully reviewed the contract terms to make sure he wasn’t being tricked before signing his name.

As soon as Fei Yunlai handed the contract back to Xue Lingxue, he received an electronic document that was to be destroyed after reading.

Wang Tianwu and the others did the same, starting to read this electronic document.

Soon after, Wang Tianwu’s eyes bulged: “How is that possible?”@@novelbin@@

His expression mixed with surprise and disbelief. “How could such armament exist?”

Lu Hanyuan clenched his fists tightly, his body slightly trembling; there was indeed something in this laboratory that could take him even further!
