Universe's Ultimate BOSS

Chapter 290: Chapter 289 Full Support

Skyfire Company.

Chairman’s Office.

Qiu Dong couldn’t help but burst into laughter while looking at the newspaper in his hands.

“Dad, you’re actually laughing,” Qiu Linghan stamped her foot in frustration.

Qiu Dong chuckled lightly, “What’s there to be angry about? If we’re going to win over Wang Hao, we should expect these incomprehensible tricks from the Ghost Elf.”

“But now I’m considered a generation below him—how can I not be angry about that?” Qiu Linghan puffed out her cheeks in annoyance.

Beside her, Qiu Lei muttered to himself, “You’re only a generation below him, but he’s two whole generations below—whom can he even complain to about this!?”

“Everyone has their own strategies; what’s there to be angry about?” Qiu Dong waved his hand dismissively, and then instructed, “Little Lei, go prepare a gift. We’ll send it over when Wang Hao celebrates his major birthday.”

“Grandpa, do you really plan to celebrate Wang Hao’s eighteenth…eighteenth birthday!?” Qiu Lei was dumbfounded. It would be one thing if the ignorant were fooled, but they knew the truth and were still going along with it?

Qiu Dong said sternly, “Remember, I have high hopes for Wang Hao’s potential. Whatever he decides, our Skyfire Company must support him wholeheartedly.”

Qiu Linghan frowned, “Dad, I know Wang Hao has impressive potential, unprecedented even, but what exactly is our purpose in supporting him like this!?”

Qiu Dong sighed, “You all know that the universe contains countless star systems, and our Galaxy Star System, where the interstellar federation is located, is just a tiny speck of dust among them—there are too many star systems more powerful than us.”

Qiu Lei frowned, “Grandpa, are you suggesting that these star systems might attack the Galaxy Star System!?”

Qiu Dong shook his head, “I don’t know, but we need to make preparations just in case.”

Qiu Linghan asked curiously, “So we’re fully backing Wang Hao, just in case one day other star system civilizations attack us, and then we’ll need Wang Hao’s protection to survive!?”

Qiu Dong nodded, “Money is just a number to our Qiu family; if we can exchange it for the everlasting prosperity of our family, why not?”

Qiu Lei and Qiu Linghan nodded in realization, indicating they understood.

…

Potion Guild.

President’s Special Laboratory.

Shui Yao was focused on concocting a potion.

Bing Qiao softly reported, “President, Wang Hao has sent an invitation, asking you to attend his eighteen…eighteenth birthday.”

After finishing, Bing Qiao couldn’t help but give a wry smile, indicating she really couldn’t comprehend the thoughts in Wang Hao’s mind.

“Eighteenth birthday!?” Shui Yao was stunned, stopped what she was doing, and took the invitation from Bing Qiao’s hand.

“This little rascal really is mischievous,” Shui Yao said with an amused shake of her head. “Then go prepare a gift for Wang Hao!”

“Do you want me to deliver it personally?” Bing Qiao asked.

Shui Yao rolled her eyes, “For a little kid’s antics, does the Vice President need to go personally? Send your apprentice to do it.”

Bing Qiao nodded, “Then how big should the gift be?”

Shui Yao pondered for a moment, “Even if it’s just child’s play, he’s still the Fifth Vice President of our Potion Guild. We can’t make the gesture too slight—prepare him a grand gift.”

Bing Qiao nodded again and then respectfully retreated.

When Shui Yao turned back to the potion she was concocting, there was no longer any chemical reaction.

“Ah, there go three hundred billion Yao Tian Coins,” Shui Yao sighed, poured out the failed batch, and continued concocting.

…

Military Department.

Commander-in-Chief’s Office.

Guan Xinxiong snorted coldly and tossed Wang Hao’s invitation into the trash can.

Guan Yingjie gave a wry smile and said, “Dad, that’s not very nice. After all, they’ve sent the invitation; you should at least respond with a gesture.”

Guan Xinxiong grunted, “I get a headache just thinking about that kid. Who has time for this nonsense!?”

Guan Yingjie shook his head, changing the subject, “Yun Yang’s injuries have stabilized, and he should be fully healed in a few days, in time for the opening of the Ancient relics.”

Guan Xinxiong nodded, then said coldly, “Li Yunyang has talent, but since he was born a commoner, he can only become a dog of the Guan family in the future. Don’t get sentimental, understand?”

Guan Yingjie wanted to speak, but the words didn’t come out—because he knew that even if he did speak up, his willful father would not listen.

So he remained silent.

Guan Xinxiong furrowed his brows, “Compared to Li Yunyang, I’d rather have Wang Hao become our dog; his talent is simply too strong. If we can’t use him, we need to eliminate him as soon as possible.”

As he spoke, a trace of murderous intent flickered in Guan Xinxiong’s eyes. He wouldn’t allow any individual or power in the interstellar federation to threaten the development of the Military Department, and Wang Hao obviously had that potential.

Guan Yingjie asked curiously, “If Father sees Wang Hao as a threat, why let him be the Fifth Marshal of the Military Department?”

Guan Xinxiong gave Guan Yingjie a look of disappointment, “You refused to come learn at the Military Department, and now you can’t even see through such intentions.”@@novelbin@@

Guan Yingjie hung his head, not speaking anymore. The Military Department was the last place he wanted to be, with its need for constant intrigue and piles of affairs to manage—it really didn’t suit him.

Guan Xinxiong shook his head and continued, “Exactly because Wang Hao is a threat, I need to keep an eye on his progress. And since the Military Department indeed needs his Brain Sensing remote control technology, I took the opportunity to bestow upon him the title of Marshal. That way, he’ll be under my watch, and I can find an opportunity to deal with him whenever I wish.”

Guan Yingjie frowned and couldn’t help asking, “Doing this, the heads of the four major universities won’t let it go easily.”

Guan Xinxiong scoffed disdainfully, “They would need evidence for that. Without it, they’re just making baseless accusations. The other powerful forces will intervene to maintain the interstellar federation’s stability.”

Guan Yingjie tentatively asked, “Was Wang Tianyi also made to disappear using this method back then?”

Guan Xinxiong laughed smugly, “A commoner dreaming of entering the ranks of the nobility is pure fantasy.”

Guan Yingjie sighed. Although his father did not admit it outright, the implication was clear. The disappearance of Wang Tianyi back then was their doing.

What he hadn’t expected, and dared not think about, was the extent they went to ensure Wang Tianyi’s disappearance, sacrificing an entire pantheon of one hundred thousand elite troops. Such ruthlessness was truly bloodcurdling.

“Wang Tianyi, I believe you’re still alive, and I’m waiting for you to return for a decisive battle,” Guan Yingjie felt an intuition in his heart that Wang Tianyi had not perished and would definitely return, and this premonition grew stronger by the day…
