Ming Shan Star.
Human Race headquarters.
In the meeting room, various forces had gathered for a meeting.
Wang Hao sat there leisurely, occasionally teasing the two beauties, Xue Qianqin and Le Xuan.
He even gave Xia Weiwei a provocative glance, as if to say, “I’ve cuckolded you, what are you going to do about it!?”
Xue Qianqin rolled her eyes, “Wang Hao, don’t you feel like you’re sitting on pins and needles!?”
...
Wang Hao looked around and saw that everyone’s gaze in the room had fallen on him. If looks could kill, he had no doubt he would have been killed countless times already.
However, clearly that was an impossibility, so he chose to ignore those stares.
Le Xuan whispered, “Wang Hao, according to the information, the losses for everyone are not too severe, but the military supplies have been looted, and we can’t replenish them quickly, so the days ahead might be pretty tough.”
“So we’re lacking supplies, huh!” Wang Hao realized. “If you guys are short on supplies, you could just tell me. Don’t you know I’ve just looted the Alien Race headquarters, and now the warehouse is so full of materials, there’s hardly any space left!?”
Bastard!
Scumbag!
Isn’t this just blatant boasting!?
Everyone in the room clenched their teeth in hatred. This bastard had set them all up, not only had he feasted himself, but now he was bragging in front of them. How could he be so horrible!?
Guan Tian said coldly, “Wang Hao, you provoked the great war between the Alien Race and Human Race, causing heavy losses for everyone. Did you really think we would just let that slide?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room boiled over.
“Wang Hao, you used us to hold back the Alien Race’s main forces. This Young Marshal will settle the score with you.”
“Hmph, if you don’t compensate us for our losses today, Wang Hao, don’t even think about leaving here.”
“That’s right, with so many of us here, are we afraid of you?”
“Your Young Marshal Army lost a third of its forces, what do you have to fight us with!?”
“If you don’t want to compensate, then hand over all the merits you earned, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”
Wang Hao turned his head, looking aggrieved at Xue Qianqin, “Qian Qin baby, what should I do?”
Xue Qianqin rolled her eyes again, irritated, “Do you ever make a losing deal?”
Wang Hao shook his head and gave everyone a look of disdain, “I’m not as stupid as this bunch, why would I make a losing deal?”
Hearing this, everyone in the room was so angry they itched to the core. If they hadn’t been fooled by this scoundrel, leaving them with no ground to stand on, they certainly would have pointed at Wang Hao’s nose and cursed, “You’re the idiot, your whole family are idiots.”
Mo Junlin spoke softly, “Wang Hao, you indeed won a great victory this time, but without our help, you wouldn’t have been able to kill 20 million of the Alien Race. So you must pay us something for our troubles, right?”
Wang Hao glanced at Mo Junlin, then turned to ask Le Xuan, “Who’s this idiot?”
Le Xuan rolled her eyes again and introduced, “He’s the son of the President of the Yao Tian Federation, Mo Junlin.”
Wang Hao nodded and snapped his fingers toward Qian Wanyang behind him, “When this idiot buys supplies later, mark them up fifty times for me.”
“Got it, boss,” Qian Wanyang took out a notebook and started to write it down.
“Wang Hao, you’re going too far!” Mo Junlin slammed the table in anger.
Without even lifting his eyelid, Wang Hao said indifferently, “Make it two hundred times!”
“Okay, boss!” Qian Wanyang went back to noting.
Mo Junlin trembled with rage, wishing he could tear Wang Hao to pieces, but the reality was that he didn’t dare to do so.
Everyone knew that all the forces were suffering from a severe shortage of food, and if they really ran out of provisions, it meant that the combat effectiveness of their soldiers would decrease.
And the Alien Race on the other side was likely to seize this opportunity to annihilate them.
Therefore, to ensure that the soldiers had enough to eat and maintain their strength for battle, purchasing food from Wang Hao became the only option.
Of course, if they knew where Wang Hao had hidden the food, they would not have been polite to Wang Hao, and would have directly taken their armies to confiscate it.
However, according to reliable information, that bastard Wang Hao had stashed all the supplies into his Dimension Space, which left them feeling frustrated.
As for taking a chance and hoping that the Alien Race wouldn’t attack, everyone agreed it wasn’t an option.
Because from the current situation, the conclusion that Wang Hao was colluding with the Bull-men and conspiring both inside and out had become a certainty in everyone’s hearts.
So, if they chose not to buy the food, then the Alien Race’s army would immediately come to kill them.
Huang Weiyi spoke softly, “Wang Hao, let’s be clear, you’re in contact with the Bull-men. If you don’t want to make a big deal out of this, you’d better hand over the food, or don’t blame us for using military force.”
“If you have evidence, you’re welcome to arrest me anytime,” Wang Hao’s eyes flashed with cold light, “but if you slander me without evidence, you’d better get your urn ready, because I’ll come for your life at any moment.”
Huang Weiyi snorted coldly, “Wang Hao, you’re dreaming if you think you can take my life.”
Xia Weiwei said indifferently, “What if you include this young lady, can you take my life then?”
Xue Qianqin and Le Xuan raised their hands, “And us!”
“You…” Huang Weiyi and the others present all changed their expressions. If it were just Wang Hao alone, they were confident they could handle him.
But if you add the Xia family’s private army, the Adventurer’s Guild, and the Skyfire Company, then things would become very bad.
After all, they didn’t have food, and as long as Wang Hao and his group could hold them off for one day, then the initiative on the battlefield would be his to command.
Of course, with the Alien Race lurking nearby, even if they wanted to wage war against Wang Hao, they didn’t dare to take the risk, afraid that the Alien Race might profit from their conflict.
A smirk appeared on Wang Hao’s lips, “The attitude you all just showed has displeased me, so I’ve decided to raise the price by five thousand times.”
Le Xuan, Xue Qianqin, and Xia Weiwei couldn’t help but sigh. Indeed, a true profiteer, raising the price so swiftly!
As soon as these words fell, the room erupted with shouts of protest.
“Wang Hao, don’t push your luck.”
“Exactly, our reinforcements with supplies will arrive in five days at most. Do you think we’re desperate for your food?”
“As long as we hold out for five days, your doom is coming, Wang Hao.”
“Don’t think you’re all that great for slaughtering 20 million of the Alien Race. In our presence, you’re still nothing.”
“That’s right, your million-strong army is now just over 600,000. Don’t think you’re still so tough!”
“Let me put it fairly, Wang Hao—we’ll give you ten times the market price. Just hand over the supplies.”
“Indeed, you’d already be making a profit at ten times the price. Don’t get greedy.”
“As long as you release the food, we can temporarily put aside the issue of you exploiting us.”
“……”
Wang Hao sneered and chose to ignore these people’s words outright.
In the interstellar era, food wasn’t really that important, as staying fed was quite simple.
But this was a battlefield; simply being full wasn’t useful, you needed to eat well to have the strength to fight.
What was more critical was that all factions had their ammunition stores depleted as well, and it was clear an interstellar war couldn’t be started. The only option was to engage in close combat.
And fighting a melee battle with the Alien Race, especially when not at peak performance, the casualties, one could only imagine, would be devastatingly high.
So, facing a situation where the advantages of time, location, and people were on his side, if he didn’t take a big cut, he’d feel like he was letting down the heaven-sent opportunity…
