Shortly after Elysia and her companions departed, official personnel from Shenzhou arrived at Heliopos Life Science.
Observing the arriving Shenzhou officials, Gray Serpent feigned being an ordinary security robot and left the scene.
The Shenzhou officials directly entered the main hall of Heliopos Life Science.
Raven also emerged from the elevator at this moment.
As soon as Raven stepped out, she saw the leading woman, approached her with a professional smile, and said, "Miss Ying, why would you have time to handle such a trivial matter?"
"Trivial matter? Miss Sciola, what do you consider a major matter? Do I have to wait for Heliopos Life Science to dismantle the entire Sky Dome City?" the woman, whom Raven called Miss Ying, directly stated.
"But no more serious consequences have been triggered, have they? Everything has already been resolved within the scope of our Heliopos Life Science," Raven said with a smile.
"Tsk, you merchants are so annoying," Miss Ying said with some displeasure. "Alright, besides the commotion you just caused, there's also the penalty for the Honkai energy incident you triggered."
"Regarding the culprit who triggered the Honkai energy incident, they have already been eliminated by us," Raven stated.
"Hmph, you only know how to push out scapegoats. But even if you have eliminated them, there's no doubt that the one who triggered the Honkai energy incident wasn't an individual, but your entire Heliopos Life Science company," Miss Ying said, directly pulling out a notice.
Raven did not take the notice but instead looked directly at Miss Ying. "The culprit who triggered the Honkai energy incident acted on their own; it has nothing to do with our Heliopos Life Science company."
"You say it has nothing to do with it? You need to remember, the person belongs to your Heliopos Life Science, and this Honkai energy incident was triggered while this person was employed," Miss Ying said, pressing the notice against Raven's chest.
"Right now, I'm just notifying you. If you don't accept it, you can directly move out of Shenzhou. There are many people eyeing your company's position," Miss Ying said with a somber expression.
Afterward, Miss Ying continued, "We haven't even settled the matter of you arbitrarily kidnapping a Valkyrie."
"Miss Ying, please don't casually pin such things on our Heliopos Life Science," Raven said calmly.
"Heh, what, you dared to capture someone but now you don't dare to admit it? Or are you going to say it was the individual action of your so-called employee again?"
"Indeed, it was the individual action of that employee, and it has nothing to do with Heliopos Life Science."
"I don't care whether it's related or not! Remember to prepare for the penalties stated on the notice," Miss Ying said, then turned and left Heliopos Life Science with her subordinates.
After Miss Ying left Heliopos Life Science, both she and Raven, who was still inside Heliopos Life Science, had somber expressions. 'Tsk, Old Timer.'
At this moment, both their thoughts were perfectly aligned.
Looking at the contents of the notice, Raven's expression grew even more somber.
If they were to comply with the notice, it would be no different from giving Heliopos Life Science away.
"Gray Serpent, you're there, right? What should we decide?" Raven said with a somber face.
"Let go of Heliopos Life Science's security positions," Gray Serpent said calmly.
"Hey, Gray Serpent, if we give up the security positions, how is that any different from directly handing them a knife?"
"I have modified all the content on the notice. You just need to negotiate with the Shenzhou officials according to the modified content, and they will agree," Gray Serpent said before directly disconnecting the connection.
Heliopos Life Science is still relatively important to World Serpent at present; a legitimate public identity can bring them a large amount of legal funds.
Raven looked at the printer next to her, which was operating on its own.
Only after the printing was complete did Raven go over and pick up the newly printed documents.
Looking at the various clauses on it, even though Raven was very unwilling, she could only accept this loss.
'Damn Jackal, even in death, she's still causing trouble,' Raven said with a somber face, returning to her office.
When Jackal was alive, she often researched inexplicable things, spending a lot of funds, and now that she's dead, they still have to spend another large sum of money.
A portion of that money was her salary!
Miss Ying, who had left, also contacted her superior. "The notice has been handed over, but no matter how I think about it, they can't possibly agree, can they?"
"You're still too young. The intention wasn't for them to agree. If they agreed, how would that be any different from directly giving us Heliopos Life Science?"
"That notice is just to inform them of a form of compensation. Ultimately, if we can get half of the security authority and the authority to place employees in some less important positions, that's already the best outcome."
"But will they really give it to us so readily? Even half the authority would be enough for us to completely monitor Heliopos Life Science, wouldn't it?" Miss Ying said, frowning.
"Don't worry. As long as they don't plan to give up such a large and profitable place as Shenzhou, they will definitely agree," came the confident voice of Miss Ying's superior from the other end of the communication.
"Wait two days, then go to Heliopos Life Science for negotiations. Remember, our ultimate goal is at least half of the security authority."
"Previously, to fill the gap for Anti-Honkai Serum, we gave them too much authority. Now it's time to take it back," the communication ended.
Miss Ying looked at the communicator in her hand with some helplessness.
This kind of negotiation task shouldn't have been hers to carry out.
Couldn't they find a professional?
Soon after, Miss Ying arrived at the logistics department of Schicksal.
As soon as she walked in, "Miss Ying, you've arrived," the front desk staff greeted her with a bow.
"Alright, I'm not one of those Old Timers, I don't have so many formalities. Where's my older sister?" Miss Ying said directly.
"The young lady is resting upstairs, but Miss Elysia and Fu Hua are also there," the front desk lady said respectfully.
"Tell me the room number, I'll go up."
The front desk lady directly picked up a room card from the table and handed it to Miss Ying.
"You all wait here, I'll go up by myself," Miss Ying said to the people behind her after taking the room card.
Without waiting for their response, Miss Ying directly entered the elevator.
