chapter 0390 part 3
"Hello, Manager Bande!" Kane nodded towards the robot in front of him. "Since according to your Universal Bank's tradition, you do not participate in conflicts between various civilizations, then I wonder what your purpose is for appearing here?"
Bande rubbed his gemstone rings. His machine-simulated eyes narrowed into slits. "Naturally, it is to invite you and the civilization behind you to become shareholders of the Universal Bank!"
"What?!" Kane hadn't said anything yet, but Ayesha on the side screamed in surprise, looking at Bande with a face full of disbelief. "Granting them shares in the Universal Bank! Say that again?!"
Bande, however, had no interest in acknowledging Ayesha whatsoever. Even though an hour ago, this woman was the biggest customer of the branch he managed.
"Universal Bank?!" Kane was also somewhat in doubt. He stared at Bande's face, wanting to figure out his true purpose, but he quickly gave up on this plan. On a robot's face, he really couldn't see anything.
"Yes. The East Galaxy Company's energy dumping during this period has proven that the civilization behind you is indeed qualified to possess shares in the Universal Bank. After all, we must maintain sufficient reverence for a civilization that controls the Space Gem and has fully developed it!"
Kane gave Bande a deep look and shook his head at him. "I cannot make the decision on this matter. I need to ask for instructions from my Boss!"
"I naturally understand that. I will wait for your information on Fallen Star!" Bande continued. "There is also one more matter, please help me ask your esteemed Boss: With the destruction of Sovereign, the energy battery business here will definitely suffer a severe injury. Can I open a branch on Fallen Star?!"
As soon as Bande's words left his mouth, Ayesha's complexion immediately changed. Or rather, her complexion was already bad. The expedition plan failed, the Regents forced her hand, and now even the Universal Bank was abandoning them. Ayesha instantly collapsed and shouted at Bande: "You can't do this! Our Sovereign civilization hasn't disappeared! We still control 0.007% of the shares!"
Bande turned to look at Ayesha and said in a deep voice: "I think High Priestess, you have a misunderstanding. According to the Universal Bank's Frye regulations, we will not reclaim these shares. Even if the Sovereign civilization is destroyed because of this, we will still recognize these shares. Every dividend season, we will transfer this money to the fixed account! You can withdraw funds from any Universal Bank branch using the account password! This is a treaty signed by the first generation Bande and Frye at the beginning of the Universal Bank's establishment. No Bande will violate it!"
"However, our bank will not care who the owner of this account is!" After Bande added this sentence, he turned and nodded towards Kane. "I hope to receive your reply as soon as possible!"
Bande finished speaking and turned and left the Sovereign Council Hall. Ayesha was about to say something more, but as Kane waved his hand, a group of angels swarmed towards her.
These cold-blooded and ruthless angels, without any trace of humanity, had no mercy for women. They directly broke the limbs of this resisting Sovereign High Priestess into comminuted fractures. Although Ayesha trembled all over from the pain and screamed hoarsely, constantly issuing war threats, who cared!
As early as when that strange white cloud enveloped the entire surface of Sovereign, dozens of golden spaceships had already escaped from Sovereign. Before the Sovereign Regents and Elders who had escaped from the spaceships could heave a sigh of relief, hundreds of warships of various sizes with no markings swarmed from all directions. All the warships had ridiculously high speed. They opened all their gunports from afar, and their fire control radar simultaneously locked onto these golden spaceships.
In the face of overwhelming military force, this fleeing fleet of Sovereign surrendered after issuing a hysterical roar.
A group of mercenaries belonging to the East Galaxy Company screamed loudly as they rushed into the Sovereign vessels/warships, gathered all the personnel within the fleet together, and stripped them completely clean, not even leaving a pair of underwear.
Regardless of gender, all Sovereign were stripped clean and escorted to Fallen Star.
The robbed Sovereign Elders were heartbroken to the point of bleeding. Although they didn't have time to take all their valuables when they escaped, the estimated value of the precious items on their spaceships alone was worth at least hundreds of billions of Galactic Credits.
Kane and Adam stayed on Sovereign for three months, waiting until the East Galaxy Company dispatched nearly a thousand more warships and hundreds of thousands of people here. Only then, with the cooperation of the Angelic Legion, did they initially control this Tier 3 civilization.
Of course, this was also due to the reason why Sovereign was vast and sparsely populated. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Sovereign perfected their reproductive mechanism. Their reproduction did not rely on natural childbirth, but on gene modification and optimization.
Therefore, the Sovereign did not have what ordinary civilizations call family affection. They excessively pursued perfection. Every embryo cultivated through gene optimization would be mercilessly destroyed if it had even a slight flaw.
As for the standard for flaws, perhaps it was because the skin color wasn't brilliant enough, not golden enough, perhaps because the size of the embryo's chromosomes wasn't perfect enough, or perhaps because the Sovereign Doctor responsible for selection was in a bad mood. Large batches of embryos were directly destroyed after failing inspection. This also led to less than ten new perfect tribesmen being selected within a century for the Sovereign race. The total population of the entire Sovereign civilization was less than five million. This is also the reason why they had tens of millions of advanced drone fighters but were defeated by Kane's Angelic Legion of less than three hundred thousand.
As for the technology of developing artificial intelligence and commanding drone fighters in combat, because of a war between carbon-based life and silicon-based lifeforms in the Milky Way Galaxy, many civilizations that understood the war triggered by sentient machines tens of thousands of years ago all held deep reservations towards artificial intelligence. No one wanted to face that mechanical frenzy that covered most of the Universe again.
