Chapter 1634: Taking Advantage of Your Age
Bashar's question seems to be an attempt to take advantage of his seniority.
The empire does have a tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young, which is also an inevitable result of the development of a civilized society.
However, Kofu was not much younger than him, only about thirty years old, and the key point was that he was also Dogan's butler.
With his status, he is not qualified to be arrogant even if the other party is the current vice-president of Teikyo College.
So Kefu replied very impolitely, "I may not be qualified to make the decision for others, but for you... it's enough."
"Haha... you are so arrogant indeed," Bashar actually commented.
However, this was still a case of taking advantage of one's seniority, and Kefu was too lazy to pay attention to him. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk about this."
"Then you should give an explanation," Bashar said directly, "Why did you kill people from our academy?"
Kofu answered without hesitation, "You offended my master's interests and showed disrespect to those in higher positions... You deserve to be killed."
"Are you so domineering?" Bashar laughed angrily.
He knew that the opponent was a tough nut to crack, and he didn't expect to handle the matter easily.
However, the other party's reaction was still a little unacceptable to him.
However, there is no good in insulting each other, and there is no need to take it too seriously, so both sides began to present facts and reason.
The people at Teikyo Academy insisted that their researchers were only conducting normal space exploration and were not involved in mineral prospecting.
The fees that Dogan paid only gave him the relevant prospecting rights, which did not entitle him to stop people from doing other work.
In other words, there is no problem of disrespect towards those in higher positions among the people of Teikyo Academy.
Bashar said, even if you think our people acted inappropriately, you can hand them over to the authorities, right?
Just killing him like that...then we must give Teikyo Academy justice.
This was a very formal communication. Although the government officials did not participate, they sent people to listen.
The military also sent a colonel, who definitely only brought ears.
In the face of Bashar's questioning, Kofo showed the arrogance he deserved.
He said bluntly, “My master doesn’t need a reason to kill someone, and you can’t guarantee that the people in the academy are not prospecting for minerals in secret.”
Whether there is private prospecting or not is a very idealistic thing. One party can say no, and the other party can say yes.
As a result, Bashar produced evidence - he obtained the exploration data from the survivors.
But Kofo remained arrogant. He said there is a basic consensus in space exploration: it is easy to say it is possible, but difficult to say it is not.
If you want to say there is something, just prove its existence. If you want to say it doesn’t exist… then you need to present all the evidence and rigorous logic.
——The evidence you produced can only prove that they conducted exploration other than mineral exploration, but it cannot prove that they did not conduct mineral exploration.
Anyway, Kofu acted quite strong. He didn't have any evidence, but he arbitrarily believed that those people deserved to die.
To the officials who were watching from the sidelines, it was really quite unreasonable.
However, subordinates who are above the Supreme Being can really do this.
This is all thanks to the fact that the other party is from the Imperial Academy. If it were another force, Kofu wouldn't even be interested in paying attention.
Now that Bashar is here, he will certainly not be so easy to deal with.
He directly stated that at the time of the incident, people in the academy were observing a nebula and discovered certain strange phenomena.
He just spoke these words orally and did not produce any relevant video footage.
Obviously, it's not that he can't produce it, but he wants to point out something implicitly.
As Dogan's butler, Kefu was extremely well versed in the ways of the world and reacted instantly.
The boss's previous judgment was indeed correct. The Imperial Academy had an unusual interest in that nebula.
Because of their selfish motives, they did not want to speak out in front of the government so as not to attract its attention.
Although Teikyo College is an official college, its interests are not completely consistent with those of the government.
The college has its own interests - both from a research perspective and from an economic perspective.
However, Kofu still did not expect that the other party would actually raise the issue of the nebula.
——Although you were vague in your words, there is no doubt that the official and military officials who were listening in were definitely not fools.
People must have already heard something, whether they will have any related reaction in the future...that's really hard to say.
This also reflects Bashar's current mood.
Because of Kofu's unusual toughness, the people at Teikyo Academy have lost some of their patience and are planning to "harm others without benefiting themselves".
——If you continue to be so tough, then I will have no choice but to speak out.
Once the nebula's strange phenomenon is brought to light, the intervention of the government and the military is inevitable.
So Kofu was somewhat surprised: Has it come to this?
But it doesn't matter, he just needs to continue showing his arrogance.
So he said, I don’t know the situation you are talking about, but even if I do, so what?
Even if an unusual nebula is discovered, it is my master, not Teikyo Academy, who will have the priority to explore it.
This statement is even more overbearing, but in theory, there is still nothing wrong with it.
What Dorgan bought was only the prospecting rights, but everyone has the right to explore space, and she has priority in that space.
However, his arrogance did not cause more resentment. Instead, Bashar thought that the other party was a little guilty.
Because Kofu emphasized that he didn't know the situation of the nebula - doesn't that mean you don't want to talk about this issue?
Bashar naturally insisted on his position despite the other party's objection. He said there was no evidence that you had discovered the abnormality of the nebula first.
——You'd better think about it carefully. Do you want to talk seriously about the nebula?
However, Kofu really didn't know what happened in the nebula.
However, he would not say that it was the place where my parents practiced in the past, so it must have its value.
He just said more firmly: I have no interest in arguing with you about this matter. The Imperial College is not allowed to go there anyway!
Not to mention prospecting, even exploration is not allowed!
Overbearing? A little, indeed, but Lady Dogan is supreme, and there is no doubt that she enjoys enough privileges!
Kofu’s dominance was so strong that even the officials who were listening in could not help themselves - even though it was the truth, they couldn’t say it openly, right?
Fortunately, there were people from Teikyo College present, so there was no need for them to express their objections.
Bashar responded sharply, "Above the Supreme... There are also some graduates from our Teikyo Academy!"
The Imperial College is a top-ranked university and has indeed attracted enough talents.
But Kofu didn't care, saying that the existence above the Supreme... Sorry, it's not something I can comment on.
However, if Teikyo Academy could really invite the Supreme Being, why not allow such an adult to negotiate?
So far, he has only seen three Supremes - does this mean that you look down on Digital Phantoms?
As soon as he said this, the three supreme ones on the opposite side felt a little guilty.
Among the students of Teikyo Academy, there are indeed supreme beings - at least two can be confirmed.
But when the two heard that the academy was going to confront Digital Phantom, they said that you should communicate first.
They didn't say they wouldn't participate, but they didn't say they would take action either - Digital Phantom was so popular that even the Supremes had to think twice.
You know, there are more than one or two foreign supreme beings who died at the hands of this team.
Upon hearing this, Bashar made up his mind: Do you really want me to explain myself clearly?
This was not just a threat from Chiguo, it was almost like a falling out - it was impossible for the people who were listening to this to not react.
"Is there anything you want to make clear?" A sense of pressure descended, and then Dogan appeared beside Kefu.
She looked at Bashar calmly, "Little guy, do I need to explain to you what I do?"
Although Bashar has white hair and beard and looks very old, he is not old enough to show off his seniority in front of her.
"Hello, senior," he stood up and bowed politely.
There was no way. No matter how high his status was, he dared not be arrogant in front of Dogan.
Otherwise, he highly doubted that the other party would dare to kill him at will - the superiors were so scary.
Moreover, the Digital Phantom team has never been willing to swallow their anger.
However, respect is respect, and he still has to say what needs to be said.
Because of Dogan's appearance, he even made up his mind, "Sir, you didn't buy the nebula, right?"
"Since you don't have ownership, any mystery in it should belong to the Empire, right?"
"Why should I buy it?" Dorgan looked at him calmly, "We originally made it!"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, not only Bashar was stunned, but also the people who were listening were all stunned.
The colonel who was listening in on the incident couldn't help but mutter, "Nebula... built?"
He understood both words, but when they were put together, he really didn't understand.
Bashar was really angry. "My Lord, do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"
"Strange," another pressure from the Supreme Being descended, and the paranoid appeared in the reception room.
"What did I, Digital Phantom, do that I need to prove to a little brat like you?"
The retired dean was called a brat...well, he was indeed qualified to say that.
"If your Excellency says so, then I have nothing to say," Bashar glanced at the officials who were listening, intentionally or unintentionally.
"As for whether that nebula belongs to the empire's wealth, we at the Imperial Capital Academy don't need to worry about it."
This is clearly an attempt to sow discord - the other side already has two supreme beings, and the academy is really not able to withstand it.
However, even so, he was not satisfied with simply putting on eye drops.
"Even if the facts are as you said, you can still explain it this way to the teachers of our academy, right?"
"If the empire's outstanding talents were killed casually, wouldn't that make their loved ones sad and their enemies happy?"
By the end of his speech, his face turned red and he looked heartbroken.
"Let me tell you," another figure flashed, and a beautiful lady in palace dress appeared.
(First update, congratulations to the cute master "The Drunk Loser".)
