Five hundred and seventieth chapters: take the initiative
When the door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside, Jiang Shangyu glanced at Reinhardt's face.
Reinhardt's face was flushed, and there was a smile on his lips. The joy seemed to be radiating from his bones.
Jiang Shangyu smiled. Obviously, in order to get the first opportunity to communicate with Jiang Shangyu alone, Artes secretly gave Reinhardt enough benefits.
If a super master who has surpassed the peak of invincibility has great wooing and investment value for Star Nation, then a new genius has almost absolute wooing and investment value.
Internal and external deterrence, right to speak in all aspects, status in the dark world, and priority in certain special moments.
Experts at the genius level can truly maximize the multiple functions of their personal power.
What kind of treatment does Li Tianlan receive in Zhongzhou?
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Huacheng is not so close to his own son.
All-round support allowed Li Tianlan to enter the parliament, let Li Tianlan control Tiannan, drive away Jiang Shangyu for Li Tianlan, and Li Kuangtu was killed by Li Tianlan without saying anything.
This is Zhongzhou’s attitude towards Li Tianlan.
The current strength of Star Kingdom is not as good as that of Zhongzhou. It can naturally do more for the masters of Tianjiao level than Zhongzhou can do for Li Tianlan.
And the first one to come over was Artes.
Jiang Shangyu knew exactly what this meant.
Artes is a giant, and he is qualified to represent the Star Nation, but equally, he can represent his family better.
Star Country needs masters like him.
Artes needs it even more.
So this meeting will be very meaningful.
Jiang Shangyu's eyes moved away from Reinhardt and fell on the middle-aged white man next to him.
Artes is not very tall and is chubby, but he does not look very friendly. His expression is serious, his mouth is tightly pursed, his eyes are sharp, and he is full of aura.
Tough, cold, and iron-blooded.
Jiang Shangyu narrowed his eyes and remained calm.
As for Artes, he already knew about him before coming to Star Kingdom, and he is one of the most influential giants.
This one, to be precise, should be placed before the alliance's actions.
In the current situation, Artes has no constraints from the consortium. Faced with a speaker who is bent on laziness, he is the most influential giant.
He looks middle-aged, but he is actually close to sixty years old. In the past twenty years or so, he has been the driving force behind many of Star Kingdom's major external actions. To be more precise, in
In the hearts of all hardliners in this country, Artes is their spiritual leader.
The first person to come to see him was Artes.
Jiang Shangyu was very satisfied.
His attitude allows him to directly integrate into the Star Kingdom in the easiest way. The most important thing is that Jiang Shangyu's next actions will definitely hit it off with Artes.
He stood there without moving, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Artes took the initiative to come over and extended his palm to Jiang Shangyu. His voice and expression did not change at all, as if he was born serious: "Hello, Jiang, I am Artes, Tony Artes."
"I have long admired your name, sir."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and held the other person's palm, and said calmly: "I thought you would come together."
Both parties understand who this so-called you refers to.
A smile appeared on Artes' serious face, and he said slowly: "Reinhardt and I are very good friends. He informed me first and it was my request that I come here first.
I think we can talk about it first."
Reinhardt nodded to Jiang Shangyu, turned around and left the conference room to make a phone call.
The private conversation between these two people was obviously not something he could listen to. It involved Jiang Shangyu's specific tendencies in Star Kingdom in the future and was not official business. Moreover, he also needed to call other giants now.
All Artes wants is a time difference. Reinhardt himself has benefited from this time difference, but other giants cannot ignore it. This time difference is very subtle. If it is delayed, it will offend people to death.
Jiang Shangyu also nodded and gestured to the seat next to him: "Please sit down."
The door to the conference room was closed by Reinhardt.
Jiang Shangyu and Ates sat down, and then, of course, fell into silence.
Time passed by minute by minute.
"Jiang, don't you want to say something?"
Artes took the initiative to speak, not because he couldn't hold his breath, but because his time was really limited. It was foreseeable that as Reinhardt called one after another outside, the person who received the call would definitely call here without hesitation.
Rushing on the side, the closest one among them will only take more than 20 minutes to get here at most. If Reinhardt knows how to seat people, he will definitely notify the ones far away first and the last notification to the ones closer. Even so, it will take up to 40 minutes.
Left and right, everyone will be here.
If there is an accident, for example, if someone happens to be nearby, it will be difficult to tell the time.
Therefore, Artes must buy time to negotiate with Jiang Shangyu.
"Sir, what do you want me to say?"
Jiang Shangyu smiled, very polite and reserved.
"There's a lot we can say."
Ates looked at Jiang Shangyu: "First of all, on behalf of the family and the Star Kingdom, I welcome you to join us."
This seems like nonsense.
But the key is that he puts his family first.
Jiang Shangyu obviously grasped the key point. He raised his eyebrows slightly and his expression became a bit more like a smile than a smile.
"If you are dissatisfied because of the cold treatment before, I can apologize to you on behalf of the family."

Ates continued to speak.
"That's a normal choice. I have no dissatisfaction with it."
Jiang Shangyu shook his head calmly. It was indeed normal. No matter whether he came to Star Country, Europe, or Snow Country, he would still receive the same treatment as a few days ago, but now he has broken through.
It will all be different.
Ates narrowed his eyes and seemed hesitant, not knowing what to say.
After learning that Jiang Shangyu would be able to break through and recover from his injuries soon, he really wanted to bind the other party to his family. Not to mention how many benefits there would be, at least one thing that was certain was that if both parties tied
It is determined that as long as Jiang Shangyu is still alive, the Ates family will become the true overlord of the Star Kingdom.
Jiang Shangyu is very young, which means that the status of the Artes family will be as stable as Mount Tai for at least several decades in the future. This also means that some things that Artes wanted to do before but had concerns about can be done without restraint.
Do it without worrying about failure, because the existence of Jiang Shangyu can completely suppress the consequences of failure.
Artes can't help but be tempted by such a prospect, but the problem is...
How to say?
Egami Yu clearly understood his hint, but did not give him any response.
He took out a box of cigarettes, handed one to Jiang Shangyu, lit one himself, and took a deep breath.
"I met Jess and Monica yesterday."
Jiang Shangyu suddenly said something.
Ates was stunned for a moment.
Jessie and Monica are his granddaughters, twins, and the two most outstanding stars of the Artes family. They are just eighteen years old and have just entered college. How could Jiang Shangyu see them?
"They came to visit their father yesterday."
Jiang Shangyu smiled and said: "A very beautiful girl, no, I should say, very beautiful. Sir, you know, I am an Oriental. With an Oriental aesthetic vision, I want to find a Western girl who can make me attracted. This is not
It’s not easy...especially since my vision is very high, very high.”
A flash of light flashed in Ates's eyes. He vaguely realized something, but he couldn't believe it.
"so...",
Jiang Shangyu continued: "I like Jesse and Monica very much. Sir, how about giving them to me?"
He asked for them all, and what he wanted was a pair of the most beautiful top ladies from the top family in Star Kingdom.
If it were someone else, Ates can guarantee that the other person would be dead by now.
But it was Jiang Shangyu who made this request...
He is Jiang Shangyu at the Tianjiao level.
The corner of Ates's mouth moved, and Jiang Shangyu spoke again: "I always like the best choice. For example, when I came to Star Kingdom, this was my best choice. After coming to Star Kingdom, if I can follow
Forming an alliance with the Ates family is also my best choice.
Sir, I know what you want to talk to me about, so there is no need for us to waste time. I am willing to cooperate with you, because in the current Star Kingdom, except for you,
No one has more to offer.
There is no need to test things between us. I will give you what you want, and you will give me what I want. As long as there is sincerity, our next relationship will be very pleasant, how about it?"
Artes seemed a little uncomfortable. He was silent for a while, finally shook his head and nodded: "I will arrange for them to meet you as soon as possible, tonight."
Jess and Monica...
Two granddaughters, in exchange for a genius-level super master.
It's definitely worth it.
"I know sir, you are a straightforward person, and I also like to be straightforward."
Jiang Shangyu laughed: "You see, we save a lot of time testing each other this way, so before others arrive, we can talk about business."
"Business?"
Ates repeated.
He thought they were talking about business. Jiang Shangyu wanted to bring together the people who really controlled the situation. In Artes's mind, Jiang Shangyu used himself as a bargaining chip after his breakthrough, giving everyone a chance to bid.
, now it seems that he has misunderstood something.
Ates's expression became serious again, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?"
"I don't like waiting, and I don't like defending."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly: "I want support, enough support. I am the only genius in the dark world at present. In this case, why should I hide in Star Country and not be able to go out?"
He looked at Ates and smiled: "To go out, you need strength. Only you can give me this kind of strength."
Ates's pupils shrank slightly and he asked tentatively: "So, do you want to..."
"Take the initiative and kill Li Tianlan!"
Jiang Shangyu casually snapped his fingers.
Ates turned back suddenly.
The city that was still dusk outside the window suddenly ushered in nightfall.
Thick darkness covered the entire city.
With the Six-Star Building as the center, without any warning, colorful sword lights began to appear from all directions.
The sword light was endless, continuously flying and gathering in the sudden darkness of night, forming one rainbow after another.
The sword light all over the sky is still gathering and moving back and forth, as if it will never end.
In an instant, the sword energy filled the universe.
