Sky-cracking Rider

"Secondly, I want to control the entire city. Here, what I say goes. If anyone disagrees, get out!"

Since they asked for Chen Fei's opinion, he wouldn't be so polite.

There was an uproar in the online meeting room; he intended to take over "Atlantis" as the ruler.

Who would have thought that a mere commoner would dare to reign over everyone?

The big shots involved in the "Wall of Sighs" operation could not possibly accept this.

"Hey, 'Rookie,' aren't you going too far?"

"Do you want to proclaim yourself king? Can you win everyone over?"

"Young man, isn't it a bit early to aim for dictatorship?"

"Is this what The First Sovereign's education teaches? I'm the first to disagree!"

"Why should this city be under your control?"

"'Atlantis' now belongs to everyone. You alone don't make the rules; everyone must comply with the big picture!"

...

Various roars and screams, threats and doubts all expressed the same idea: Who the hell do you think you are? Why should we listen to you!

The buzzing and commotion lasted for a while until Chen Fei had the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" produce a piercing noise signal, instantly silencing the online meeting.

The noise was so jarring that many were caught off guard, all glaring at him in anger.

"Let's not speak in riddles; I want to be the king here, yes, whether it's centralization or dictatorship, an individual's will suits the current situation better. If you disagree, I'll leave now. Anyone who wants to follow me, please gather at the '1-2 Cooperative Ship' from now on. I don't care about opposition and have no interest in dissenters. The road is wide open, go your separate ways. If anyone insists on making me do this or that, pointing fingers, sorry! Mr. Brown!"

Chen Fei calmly glanced to his side, revealing one of his trump cards, completely uncaring of the many voices of opposition and doubt.

He most detested those who were nitpicky and self-righteous, not helping but instead making things worse, so such people should get lost early and not appear in his sight, or else he would send them all to hell.

He was utterly fed up with these fools; ever since being inexplicably transported here, his mood had never been good, so his words naturally had a fiery tone.

If you're not convinced, then come and fight me!

Chen Xiao'er really wasn't simple; to have made it this far, he had to sincerely thank various friends and family, leaders, the Sovereignty, and CC...

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown stepped forward without hesitation, loudly declaring: "I'll send him a thousand miles away!"

As a group with shared interests, their position was naturally on Chen Fei's side. On this unknown planet, the West and a thousand miles away made no difference.

The online meeting quieted down again; the threat from an S-Class Ability User received a five-star rating.

Many people showed expressions of disbelief, especially those from the Gamada Sovereignty, who looked befuddled. Damn, why was Heseman Brown backing Chen Fei?

Commander Huang Xiulun frowned tightly; he never expected the "Rookie's" "arrogant words" weren't a joke and that he had indeed won over an S-Class Space Ability User.

How exactly did he manage that?! S-Class Ability Users aren't so easily persuaded.

"The First Sovereign's army is the people's soldiers!"

The representative from The First Sovereign made a clear statement, and the reason for their stance left people speechless.

They were soldiers, Chen Fei was a civilian, and the will of the people was above all.

Besides, they were all from the same group; matters inside closed doors were internal conflicts and not for outsiders to mention.

If others are unconvinced, they can step up, damn it!

Anyone with a bit of sense knew that the highly automated city "Atlantis" indeed couldn't do without Chen Fei's assistance; no one else could sustain it.

Who could command the thousands of mechanical beings, relying only on the offline "Cybertrom" sub-bodies? Without the main body's computing power support, the sub-bodies' performance would drop more than a level, making it impossible to maintain "Atlantis's" normal operations.

Who could make another AI, "Adam," more suited to the current situation, obedient?

They looked down on Chen Xiao'er on one hand and yet wanted him and the AI that only obeyed him to listen to them, which was not only self-contradictory but also wishful thinking.

"Dongying is willing to follow the 'Rookie'!"

"Goryeo is willing to follow the 'Rookie'!"

"Annan..."

"Siam..."

"Medan..."

After Asia's First Sovereign spoke, the smaller sovereignties in the circle decisively chose to second the motion.

The one with the biggest fists is the boss, and the weaker sovereignties have no choice in the matter.

The First Sovereign has been beating down the surrounding sovereignties for thousands of years, and now it has become an instinctual reaction embedded in their bones.

If you don't obey, you'll get hammered. The body's reflex always comes before the brain; just following the boss without thinking is the way to go.

The Europa circle looked at each other in dismay. Their situation wasn't much better than that of the First Sovereign's circle.

With the First Sovereign setting the pace, almost all the combat forces of the "Wall of Sighs" operation stood with Chen Fei. If you include the S-Class Space Ability User, the opponents have little chance of winning if they want to start a war.

The American Federation also wanted to be the boss, but it seems it's not that easy now.

The various sovereignties in Africa had no particular opinion; their brains weren't of much use, so they just went along with whatever the leaders decided.

The sovereignties of the Yangzhou Continent maintained a special stance of neutrality but were naturally inclined toward the Asia circle due to their geographical location.

Antarctica... (Various sovereignties: without sovereignty, get lost!)

"Since there is a dispute, let's temporarily set it aside and discuss it later. Everyone is here, and we need to reach a conclusion."

Noticing the gradually tense atmosphere, the meeting host, Commander Huang Xiulun, had to speak out to intervene, otherwise, the situation would have worsened.

From his standpoint, he had no way to favor any side deliberately, maintaining a neutral position. If he said anything unfair, the freshly calmed "Atlantis" might immediately erupt into conflict.

These unforeseen waves all originated from a young man with the call sign "Rookie," whose trump cards were more than just an S-Class Space Ability User.

"'Rookie,' can we discuss later? Just as a favor to me!"

Commander Huang Xiulun communicated directly with Chen Fei.

"At most 24 hours, give me an answer, or I'll leave with my men!"

Chen Fei looked at the city map of "Atlantis," noticing that some army units were already moving toward the city center, including several airships.

Splitting off from the "Wall of Sighs" operation forces and leaving is not just an empty threat. If lucky, he could take away at least half the troops; those sovereignties left behind likely wouldn't fare well.

Huang Xiulun took a deep breath, nodded forcefully, and said, "Fine! No matter the outcome, I'll be willing to accept it! 'Rookie,' do you have a third question?"

"Three times is the limit," an Eastern-specific logical rule.

"Yes, but the third question isn't important. I decide the resources in my hands."

Chen Fei's statement made many participating in the meeting change their expressions, becoming noticeably grim.

The logistical reserves for the "Wall of Sighs" operation, in addition to the existing supplies of "Atlantis," could only support the survival needs of the 17,631 participants for roughly five years. Beyond that, everyone would face a food crisis, unable even to guarantee population growth.

Rebuilding the food supply isn't an easy task, especially if more than half leave with Chen Fei; the remaining may not even last three years.

From the start, everyone had been eyeing the "Spatial Branding" on the back of Chen Fei's hand. The vast quantities of goods previously stored there were their hope for survival.

After Chen Fei finished speaking, the online meeting suddenly fell silent and lifeless. Chen Fei made another decisive remark.

"You can oppose, but you can't refuse. After all... 'Spatial Branding' won't listen to you. I'm done."

Chen Fei raised his hand, the silver pattern on the back dazzling under scrutiny.

This was his greatest confidence.

Louis Landon was truly formidable; nothing suited Chen Xiao'er better than "Spatial Branding." Though it lacks combat power, it surpasses combat power.

With three consecutive questions, almost covering most of the meeting's topics.

Chen Fei wisely chose to stop, not escalating his confrontational speech further as those military heads were truly capable of killing.

"Okay, I've noted it. Does anyone else have anything to say?"

The "Wall of Sighs" operation's chief commander, Huang Xiulun, discreetly sighed in relief. Although it wasn't beyond his expectations, he still worried Chen Fei might continue to provoke those sovereignty military heads with shocking statements.

After all, the Sovereignty Coalition Forces didn't come from a single sovereignty, so it wasn't surprising for them to harbor various thoughts.

Inaction breeds doom; if Chen Fei had allowed himself to be easily manipulated, instead of showing such a firm stance, Huang Xiulun would have been more worried. The development of the situation would not have been a split with clear camps like now but could turn into an uncontrollable full-scale war, lasting until the last man fell.

"How should 'Atlantis' be garrisoned?"

Quickly, a new issue arose, sparking fierce debate.

The maritime city of "Atlantis," also transported here, now became a land-based city. It was no longer a stronghold of the Lin Family but a sanctuary for the "Wall of Sighs" operation forces. No one wanted to venture into the wild that had turned into a Lotus marsh outside.

Chen Fei kept silent, watching coldly as others bickered and carved out territories. He had already occupied the city center, the best area within "Atlantis," and anyone dissatisfied was welcome to try and take it.
