When Li Yao stepped into the conference room of the headquarters of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors again, everybody looked at him in a way completely different manner from just now.
In their complicated eyes, there was the fear for the Black Wind King, the greed about the edge of the cosmos, and the curiosity of the Black Wind Fleet. It must be noted that Li Yao was not just representing himself but also a most brutal fleet that was hiding in nobody knew where right now!
Although they were all the rulers of the peripheral worlds of the Imperium, the Black Wind King was vastly different from the general warlords and Sector Masters. He was a battle-tested general and had the strength of five Sectors.
At such a subtle, critical moment, the heavy chess piece that was the Black Wind Fleet would certainly tip the scales of victory.
Therefore, everybody was silent while they waited for Li Yao to speak.
