Chapter 274: Chapter 168: 'Mind Master' and 'Making it Real' (Seeking subscription)
The movement of the Interstellar Colonization Council was swift, but the Federation Parliament's response was equally fast.
Within a few hours, all the hot news concerning the Interstellar Colonization Council was swept clean off the Federation Network.
This was while the Federation Parliament intervened.
If the Federation Parliament had not intervened, those hot news items would not have lasted more than thirty minutes on the Federation Network.
Although the news about the Interstellar Colonization Council being discussed on the Federation Network was barred.
But the Azure Star's people's penchant for gossip was not suppressed.
Particularly because of one important reason, the Federation Council did not step forward to dispel rumors.
If no one steps forward to dispel rumors, it implies that there is a high likelihood of it being true.
So, although only three hours have passed, you can already see marching crowds in the streets of each Federation colony. Azure Star, Capital City, at the Federation Council.
Now, it was extremely quiet here.
Three of the ten councilors had already left, naturally due to the Interstellar Colonization Council.
Speaker James Andrews decided to stand his ground against the Interstellar
Colonization Council, and members of the Federation Council, of course, had no reason to refuse.
Alon did not leave.
He was sitting in his seat, hands crossed, and eyes drooped as if in deep thought.
If the Speaker supports him this close, why bother persuading other councilors?
It was entirely superfluous.
However, even though Alon and James Andrews have worked together for a hundred years, Alon still has not really grasped Andrews' true nature.
So naturally, he didn't hastily inform him of this matter in advance.
However, James Andrews' reaction after knowing everything was indeed beyond his expectations.
Not only Alon did not expect it.
Milton Cheney also did not expect it.
Not only Milton did not expect it, but the Interstellar Colonization Council also did not expect it.
Previously, they were only confronting a young man and an old man.
But now the entire Federation Parliament surprisingly weighed in.
This was just like a small spark that was neglected by them in the past, but is now a raging fire that cannot be ignored.
Because when you put together the whole Federation Parliament, they absolutely have a chance to stand up to the Interstellar Colonization Council.
And the Speaker of the Federation, is undoubtedly a person with the greatest power on the surface.
If the people of Azure Star were to trust anyone more.
The Federation Parliament's credibility in the hearts of Azure Star's people is definitely higher than that of the Interstellar Colonization Council.
"Beep Beep!"
Amid this quiet atmosphere, two crisp sounds were heard.
The sound came from James Andrews' station.
Andrews opened his dedicated palm computer and took a look.
Looking at the information on the palm computer, a smirk appeared on James Andrews' face.
This was the first time he smiled in the council.
Not unexpectedly, his smile was caught by Alon.
Alon was a bit curious.
The messenger is likely from the Interstellar Colonization Council.
And James Andrews' smirk, it seems like he saw a joke?
He was unsure, but maybe that was it.
Although Alon did not tell Andrews about the Muta Civilization, he was certain
that Andrews was a knowledgeable person.
Otherwise, he would not have remained unsurprised after seeing the hot information on the network.
Andrews operated his palm computer to send a message.
A moment later, an elderly face appeared on James Andrews' palm computer.
"Andrews, you should know, doing this won't benefit the Federation in any way."
The old man spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
The attention of the other councilors in the meeting room was suddenly captured, Alon included.
Because Andrews and the speaker of the Interstellar Colonization Council did not hide their conversation from the rest. They could hear the old man's voice very
clearly.
"Danny, don't you find this scenery very familiar?"
James Andrews started speaking, a hint of laughter hung on his face.
Upon hearing this, a subtle change came over Danny's face.
He was very familiar with this kind of situation.
It was quite similar to a maneuver he had once used.
Only the last time, the proactive video link was not initiated by him.
Being passive and proactive gives completely different feelings.
Despite having substantial power, the Interstellar Colonization Council's
reputation isn't good.
In order to colonize other planets over the years, they used countless deceitful
methods.
At this moment, after hearing these words, Danny felt like James Andrews was
mocking him.
So he did not respond directly but fell into a serious thought.
"Andrews, I hope we can talk things over."
"If the Federation Parliament pacifies everything, we will cede control of five
colonial planets."
Danny spoke hoarsely.
He could not think of any reason Andrews could refuse.
This sentence sounds strange, aren't the Federation's colony planets under the
Federation's control?
Yes and no.
Why would the Interstellar Colonization Council have so much power that they
can even stand up to the Federation Parliament?
It's not because of their 'Muta People' identity.
But because they hold control over most of the Azure Star Federation's colonial
planets.
Five colonial planets may not sound like many.
But if it's true, then the Federation Parliament will hold an equal amount of
colonial planets as the Interstellar Colonization Council.
But as you would expect, even if it were true, the colonial planets that the Interstellar Colonization Council ceded would be the worst five colonial planets. There might even be numerous hidden dangers on these colonial planets. Even though they were saying they were ceding control, in all likelihood, it's more like passing the hot potato to the Federation Parliament, and then reap double
benefits.
After all, the Interstellar Colonization Council had been in existence for many years with the Federation, and James Andrews had a clear understanding of the
Council's nature.
He naturally figured that out.
Therefore, James Andrews gently shook his head, refusing.
Observing this, Danny's expression remained unchanged.
Despite his calm appearance, he was seething with anger deep down.
James Andrews was too greedy; that was his thought.
He didn't believe that James Andrews would openly conflict just because the Interstellar Colonization Council's members are the so-called 'Muta People'.
People with their status had to consider many things.
"James, as you know, I'm not interested in using drastic measures."
"These fake rumors being exposed to the public will only cause unnecessary
panic, and it will greatly affect the Federation."
"The Federation should be focusing on other unclaimed life-bearing planets
rather than internal conflict.'
Danny said.
False news?
Upon hearing this, James Andrews scoffed inwardly, but his facial expression
remained unchanged.
He could perceive the threat in Danny's tone.
"This was a fallout from the regular penaxhors ot violence by the Interstellar
Colonization Council.
They believed that everything could be solved by force.
But if they were dealing with the Federation Parliament, that wouldn't work.
"I can quell everything."
James Andrews' words made Danny straighten up a little.
He knew it was time for Andrews to lay out his conditions.
But the next moment, Andrews' words made his face look extremely awful.
"However, you need to provide the complete cultivation method for Transcenders
to the Federation Parliament."
"Or maybe I should call it the cultivation method of the Mind Master."
James Andrews proposed.
After these words fell, Danny's face obviously began to sour.
These words from James Andrews were striking at the very bottom line of the
Interstellar Colonization Council.
Even if he agreed, the other members of the council would never agree.

His control over the entire Interstellar Colonization Council was not as deep as
Andrews' over the Federation Parliament.
But Andrews couldn't not know this.
But knowing these and still stating it, there was only one reason.
It was that Andrews was toying with him, and had no intention of reaching a
reconciliation at all.
This was why his face looked so awful. "James, I'm not joking with you."
"Neither am I."
Seeing Danny disconnect the video call, Andrews was not surprised.
He turned his gaze to Alon and said, "I think you already understand my
standpoint."
"Now, you can tell me everything without withholding." Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, five years had gone by.
It has been five years since the Federation Parliament and the Interstellar Colonization Council firmly broke relations.
During this time, the actions of the Interstellar Colonization Council were
undoubtedly extreme.
But under the pressure of public opinion, they didn't dare to make big moves
openly. However, their covert actions were definitely relentless.
Over these years, Milton Cheney had faced dozens of assassination attempts.
Getting rid of people who pose problems is the best solution.
The Interstellar Colonization Council understood this clearly.
But unfortunately, trying to assassinate someone the Federation Parliament is
protecting on the Azure Star is definitely hellishly difficult.
Over these years, none of those who tried to assassinate Cheney managed to
leave Azure Star alive.
"You want to 'infiltrate' and join the Interstellar Colonization Council?"

"Kid, you might not understand the Interstellar Colonization Council
O
the risk level of what you're yell,
suggesting is unimaginable." Andrews looks at Cheney in front of
him and speaks. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Mr. Speaker, I want to give it a try."
"After all, I started this turmoil, so naturally, I should be the one to wrap it up in
the end."
Milton Cheney replied.
James Andrews heard a childish tone in Cheney's words and couldn't help but
smile wryly.
Of course, Cheney was just putting on an act.
The main reason he wanted to infiltrate the Interstellar Colonization Council was
to learn about the complete Transcendent path of this world.
The complete path of the Transcenders, the Mind Masters' path, he had to get a
glimpse of it.

"But joining the Interstellar Colonization Council is not an easy task." "You mean to let the Federation Parliament act in this play with you?" Hearing this, Cheney nodded. The

"You are oversimplifying the problem. No matter how real the act is, it's still fake.
"The Interstellar Colonization Council are not fools; they would see through it easily."
James Andrews pointed out.
"Then let's make the act real."
After Cheney's words fell, Andrews showed interest.
"How would you act?"
James Andrews asked.
Cheney slowly and deliberately laid out his plan to James Andrews.
When he finished speaking,
Andrews's face remained untouched, and he nodded slightly as he contemplated.
After a while, he looked at Cheney.
"Let's give it a try."
