Capítulo 169: The settlement
Actually Nova Prime didn't expect the first approach to go so smoothly. When the scientists of the Empire went through the recordings and visuals of the huge spaceship floating in the space near Xandar and the drop ship in the docks they already evaluated the ships as of higher level of technology.
Even though they didn't know how powerful it was, they were sure that this kind of technology had never appeared. The Nova Prime was hoping that John would be able to share the technology. This would helpful for them as that could give them an edge in the war against the Kree. Even though they had a peace agreement with Hala but many factions of the Kree empire didn't accept the agreement.
"Mr. Jameson. How would you like to like this exchange to carry on?"
"I have brought my Secretary in the mother ship. I would like to call him and he would decide the general direction of the business settlement. I hope that is acceptable as I am not very proficient in business matters."
"Sure. Why not? I too will have to talk with the council as this business will be done through government channels."
"OK he will be here soon. I want to buy a good place to live here too as I will be establishing the company here." John added.
"Yes. Of course. You can choose any residential place. You won't have to pay anything. The Empire will pay the price." Nova Prime said.
"No.. No.. we have enough money to buy a good place. Thank you for the offer but we will be able to buy one." John said with a serious tone.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." John replied. The Nova prime who was talking with John stole few glances of Victor and finally she couldn't hold herself back and asked
"I am sorry but I am little curious about the face of Mr. Stone. Even though we have registered you as temporary citizen here which doesn't need facial features to be recorded but buying a place would require a proper picture."
"Of course. Victor you can remove the hood." Victor removed the hood. When Irani saw his face he was taken aback. She didn't expect a cyborg and she could tell that it was a high level technology.
She wondered how advanced were their technology to even make such an advanced cyborg. She was now sure that John's civilization was very much advanced and powerful.
"Sorry if I offended you Mr. Stone. I didn't know you were a cyborg." She said politely.
"No it's fine. I am surprised that the guards didn't stop me from entering as having a cyborg in such a close distance with the ruler isn't so conventional." Stone said.
"I was sure that you didn't have any bad intentions as you had left your mother ship behind. This showed that you have enough sincerity to actually establish trade."
John left after that as he needed to extract Lex in FOS and then command him to come here and follow his instructions. Lex would be the perfect person to build a company and manage it.
They went back to hotel and John said to Victor.
"I am going to guide Luthor here and open a company under his name and make necessary trade. This would help us expanding and managing."
"Lex? Are you sure he will listen to you?" Victor asked as all of the summons doesn't have the notion that they are just summons as John always planted false memories in their brain through the system.
"Yes. My only power isn't just guiding other worldly beings. Occasional manipulation is also one of my powers. I will summon him in FOS." John said.
He then proceeded to waste 50 million fan values to summon Lex in FOS and then directed him to take a transformed drop ship and arrive at the docks.
"Victor he will be in the docks soon. Take him to the Nova Prime. I have already told him about the general idea of the exchange. You will be the one who will exchange the information as you are good at data manipulation. Don't give them anything about the phantom drive. Just normal technology of drop ship and maybe a portion of weapons technology. We will share the phantom drive technology when the time is right."
"I understand." Victor replied as he went to the docks. John left for searching a good place to buy a mansion as he wanted to spend his money here. This would be his holiday villa where he and Emma could always spend their time away from all the paparazzi on Earth.
After a whole day of searching with the help of Rhomann Dey as his guide he finally chose a villa just outside the city in a very high end area overlooking the sea. John spent 2 million units in buying the house. Meanwhile, Lex had arrived. Victor had a stern eye on him but Lex didn't mind that.

Capítulo 170: Terraform
Soon Lex met with the Nova Prime and even with the council. Lex pitched his ideas of establishing a company and then having a strategic, military and profitable technology exchange with the Empire. Lex even showed a glimpse of all the technology that their spaceships could provide and even said that their spaceships don't need jumping points to travel.
This astonished the scientists and the council members. They have never heard of any technology that could do that. At first the council members weren't really interested in this whole business settlement as they felt the scientists had exaggerated the technology of this new spaceship but now they knew this was a game changer.
"We will surely give you enough freedom for the establishment of the company and this would be very much profitable for the empire and even in future if your company needs to expand it's business outside the empire you can do so." Nova Prime said.
"Yes that's the long term plan. For now let's focus on the empire." Lex replied.
After discussing all the matters Lex and Victor went to the new mansion that John had moved to.
"How was the deal? Is everything good?" John asked as they entered the home.
"Yes. Though I feel some of their eyes weren't so good." Lex said.
"Yes. One of the council member's heartbeat was pretty much high during the whole deal. It was unnatural." Victor said.
"Is it? Another political drama? Everywhere people resist change. Well Lex you are an underworld don. Make your own empire here. Both in light and in dark. Just don't hurt innocent. That's the bottom line. I will handle the political attacks." John said to Lex.
"I understand. Will take time but I can do it."
Lex then proceeded to speak about the deal that they have made. Victor too pitched his own assessment on it. John didn't pay much attention as he didn't care about it.
The next few days went like a storm. Lex and Victor were out everyday directing the establishment of the new company while John was having a good time. He even contacted Tony and Steve to find out what was going on Mars.
After few days of John leaving, Tony started the world engine. It was estimated that it would take a month to terraform Mars. The governments soon got to know that there was an world engine in Mars and Tony had just switched it on.
Now all the governments got scared. Through SHIELD they contacted Tony and asked him to hand over the world engine as it was a mass destruction weapon. Tony just said that he didn't know how to move the world engine from it's place and could only configure it to copy the environment of Earth.
Of course the governments didn't believe him but the thing is since Tony said that it was a high level technology and no pilots on earth could operate it even if it was given to them. Even though they didn't believe him, but since he was arrogant when he said that, it meant it was probably true. And secondly they can't force Tony to bring the world engine to Earth.
Bruce being the secretary of SHIELD said that Tony will never bring the world engine to earth and it will continue to be there in Mars. He even said that Tony and John would soon try to colonize Mars since the world engine process had already started. Bruce wanted SHIELD to establish a branch there so he needed to be straightforward with the council.
The council understood what Bruce wanted and gave permission to SHIELD to start this process. Fury too was happy to get this order as this would mean SHIELD being ahead of everyone and even fly to space.
John was happy to know all this, though he knew he has to face a storm when he returns to Earth but he didn't care. He had enough power now. After Bruce sat in the Secretary position, SHIELD had started infiltrating in almost all walks of life. Thanks to the ninjas and more power given to SHIELD. John wanted this to happen from the beginning and since the ninjas were under him almost everything was under his control.
Even though only half of SHIELD was now ninjas, in power wise they were more powerful. John didn't even care if SHIELD had skrulls hiding inside now.
A month went without any major changes in the plan of Lex in the establishment of the company and surprisingly they didn't face any opposition. John was expecting a roadblock but there were none.
He even expected political assassination but there was still no sign of that. Victor kept an eye on all of this but was surprised there was acute silence everywhere.
"Did I understand the universe wrongly? I imagined it to be more chaotic."
And then one day a bad news came, and the 'expected' attack was much bigger than he expected.
