CHAPTER 353: CHAPTER 132 THE FIRST SHOT_3

Chen Ming continued, "Let me ask you one question, has the Supreme Commander received the punishment he deserves?"

"Initiating an attack on a rescue mission’s target, ultimately leading to the mission’s failure, with a loss of at least a third of the fleet and massive casualties, what kind of punishment should he receive?"

"Has he received it?"

Bai Quan’s silence gave Chen Ming the answer to his question.

"Therefore, someone must pay the price."

"Don’t stop me. You can’t stop me. You’ll never know which part of the ship around you is something I’ve tampered with."

"If this matter has nothing to do with you, you’d better distance yourself."

Bai Quan suddenly let out a long sigh. From the moment he discovered Chen Ming was still alive, he had thought it through.

This matter indeed started with a mistake made by the Fourteenth Legion, and he couldn’t deny it.

As the current highest commander of the Fourteenth Legion in the Gallo Star Realm, he was willing to take responsibility for the mistake.

He not only wanted Chen Ming to live but also wanted Cheng Xinghe to return safely.

Therefore, when facing Chen Ming, he was willing to lower his stance.

Lowering one’s stance to a Psychic with the ability to overthrow Dusk is not something shameful.

So, after Chen Ming said these words, Bai Quan took the initiative, "That commander is still being forcibly controlled by me, and I... can make sure he receives the punishment he deserves."

"Apart from the losses you incurred due to the Fourteenth Legion, I’ll also provide you with additional compensation."

Chen Ming was very surprised that Bai Quan could say such words.

Because these words showed submission, catering to his demands, it was not something one would expect a member of the Fourteenth Legion to say.

And doing so would offend many people. Did Bai Quan really dare?

Chen Ming wasn’t sure, but he didn’t question it either, because no words could outweigh the occurrence of facts.

"Then let me see."

If Bai Quan was sincere in his words, and Chen Ming also saw what he did.

Then reconciling with Bai Quan personally, and not the Fourteenth Legion, would not be an issue, right?

The boss, who had been quietly listening on the side, suddenly said, "I’ve received a delivery notification."

Chen Ming asked in confusion, "A delivery?"

"It’s Bai Quan’s delivery. The courier must have been waiting outside for a long time. Let me check."

"An anonymous card, containing... two billion, which should be for you."

Chen Ming thought for a moment, the cheapest Destroyer usually costs over one billion, and a decent Destroyer for four or five billion is also normal.

The price of a Cruiser is at least ten times that of a Destroyer, seventy to eighty, close to a hundred billion is also normal.

A Main Ship is an entirely different specification.

This two billion’s purchasing power can only be considered as barely sufficient.

At the very least, it can’t compare to the Dusk Cruiser Chen Ming lost.

And Bai Quan knew this point, so he immediately said, "These are just the most basic compensations, counting as compensation for the ship you usually sailed, and there’s more."

"I can directly compensate you with a Cruiser and an Alpha Level Dusk core, you decide the specific model."

"I know you were checking various ship technology papers when you were at the Space Station before."

"The Fourteenth Legion has its ship engineers, and I can give you a series of ship component technology."

"At that time, I will personally apologize to you."

Bai Quan had already made a significant concession, but he still didn’t intend to stop, and continued, "Additionally, there is one more extra compensation from me to you."

"A Spiritual Weapon."

The boss suddenly said in surprise, "Oh? Going all out, huh."

His words seemed to be directed at Bai Quan, but they were actually a reminder to Chen Ming that the Spiritual Weapon Bai Quan mentioned was very valuable.

And Bai Quan, as the one who brought up the Spiritual Weapon, of course, knows its value, but compared to Chen Ming and Cheng Xinghe, it’s nothing.

He introduced, "A Spiritual Weapon is a weapon that can amplify a Psychic’s mental ability just by holding it."

"It only has symbolic significance as a weapon, in fact, it’s equivalent to an amplifier."

"You can choose any form you need, and I can customize it."

The boss interjected again, saying, "The form doesn’t matter. Xiao Ming isn’t going to personally take a knife and slash people. A Spiritual Weapon as a gun has no combat function difference from ordinary firearms. Just pick one you like."

"Then a revolver it is."

"Xiao Ming has good taste, huh? You also like retro style, don’t you?"

"Mm."

Chen Ming responded casually.

To be honest, he felt that what Bai Quan mentioned just now as compensation was already enough.

With a total of these four items as compensation, if he asked for more, Chen Ming himself would feel a bit embarrassed.

"Then let’s leave it at that."

"But more than this, I want to see some things happen."

Bai Quan immediately responded, "It will. The remaining stuff will also be sent to Mr. Wu soon."

"And the apology from the Fourteenth Legion will also be presented to you in due course."

"I hope so."

"There’s one more thing, Mr. Chen Ming. I have an idea."

"I hope to collaborate with you once more, not in the name of the Fourteenth Legion, but in my own capacity."

"I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now, so please wait a day or two. I’ll contact you then."

Bai Quan didn’t say much more and ended the communication.

He actually still wanted to bring up Cheng Xinghe’s matter, but he also knew that now was not the right time to mention Cheng Xinghe.
