Jufeng left the border, but Lu Hongyu did not accompany him. His troops were still stationed there, and now that Jufeng was safe, he naturally had to fulfill his duties.
Jufeng had invited Lu Hongyu, but knowing Lu Hongyu's character, he politely declined. Jufeng did not press the matter because, whether in the Dragon Breaker Army or any ordinary military unit, a master at Mecha Tier Ten would never go unnoticed. Jufeng looked forward to the next time he saw Lu Hongyu, hoping that the latter would have risen to a very high position by then.
As the aircraft entered Magellan Star, everyone felt as if they had returned to Magellanic Star, for the two planets were strikingly similar. If Magellanic Star was the birthplace of Cosmic Civilization's economy, then Magellan Star served as its backbone; the most developed region in the entire Cosmos was undoubtedly these twin planets.
Jufeng's accommodations were arranged by Ganwen, while the others stayed at Universal Express, also known as Zongheng Express, which had its headquarters on Magellan Star.
Jufeng had not yet rested. As he looked at the temporary documents handed over by Guo Hua, he couldn't help but furrow his brow, puzzled by Ganwen's reasons for treating him so well.
"Is this the document that arrived this morning?" Jufeng asked as he flipped through the thick papers.
Guo Hua nodded. Unlike Jufeng's cautious demeanor, he was quite happy and even a bit excited. "Brother Jufeng, this is a rare opportunity. Our Zongheng Express is already among the Global Top Fifty. With strong support from the United Nations and our rebranding to Universal Express, merging with some local logistics companies in the Magellan Star System, we can break into the Universal Top Ten! This is a milestone achievement!"
Guo Hua's excitement stemmed from every business person's dream; who wouldn't want to achieve success and establish a commercial empire that would last forever? Names like Universal Science, Universal Energy, Universal Communication, and Universal Information were not just titles; in a world where national boundaries had become blurred, they represented imperial recognition.
If he could become one of the founding figures of Universal Express, it would be an everlasting honor for him.
Jufeng could sense Guo Hua's enthusiasm. After pondering for a moment, he nodded in agreement. Since Ganwen was willing to offer such a significant gift, he had no reason to refuse.
Vera and Sisi went shopping for some personal items. Although they would be living with the military in the future and everything should be ready, girls always had their own habits. So now accompanying Jufeng was Tian Feng.
Civilization helped Jiang Xue prepare her laboratory again while Chen Tan Hua contacted partners from Earth's Hurricane Team. With Jufeng's current military rank, he could already request some troops from Huaguo. It was just right for Hua Cheng to bring some people over as his personal guards.
"How is your injury?" After handling Guo Hua's matters, Jufeng sat down to chat with Tian Feng.
Three months ago, a bullet had taken a chunk of flesh from Cao Ke's estate, but for Tian Feng, that injury was hardly worth mentioning.
"I'm perfectly fine now, full of energy," he said.
Jufeng nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy, his thoughts still lingering on Ganwen. Tian Feng could easily see Jufeng's preoccupation and, having studied some matters in this regard, decided to help ease his worries.
"Brother Jufeng, I don't think Ganwen means any harm. He may have ulterior motives, but perhaps they won't be detrimental to you."
Jufeng's mind returned to Tian Feng, recalling that Tian Feng had graduated with high honors from Universal Hunting after eight years of study. This brought him some relief. "What do you mean? When we first met, he was so secretive about everything. He only continued when I pressed him for more details. Plus, he installed listening devices in the room where we talked. How can such a person not have sinister intentions?"
If Ganwen were present, he would be utterly astonished; he would never have guessed that all his covert thoughts were already under Jufeng's scrutiny.
Tian Feng was unaware of the specifics and could only speculate based on the information he had. Although he couldn't be completely certain, it was enough to provide Jufeng with some insights.
"Brother Jufeng, you shouldn't take this too personally. Politicians think and act this way. Unlike us martial artists who are straightforward, even the schemes used in the past by the Underworld were directly related to killing. But politicians operate differently; their mindset is about utilizing every resource available and hiding their true intentions during conversations. So you don't need to worry about his methods; just understand his goals."
Listening to Tian Feng, Jufeng seemed to grasp something and said, "Based on what we know, Ganwen must have grand ambitions. After all, he's daring enough to oppose the current United Nations Secretary-General, which shows his ambition for that position."
Tian Feng nodded and added, "Exactly. I believe Ganwen's ultimate goal is to help his New Wave Party secure a seat at the United Nations Secretary-General. However, the current capabilities of the New Wave Party are still quite weak; they lack strength. That's why he needs allies. And you, Brother Jufeng, are precisely his ideal partner."
Instead of directly asking why he was considered the best partner, Jufeng pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing, "The enemy of my enemy can become my friend."
Impressed by Jufeng's insight, Tian Feng smiled and nodded. "That's exactly right. Since you've taken over the Dragon Breaker Army, you'll likely face exclusion from people like Liu Lei. They naturally want all power in their hands. This will inadvertently push you toward Ganwen. He must have been taught by his mentor and understands your capabilities well; that's why he's planning to ally with you."
With this explanation from Tian Feng, everything clicked for Jufeng. The assistance from Ganwen, after all, was also an investment; if they became allies now, once he established himself in the military in the future, he would become his greatest asset.
Such a gaze truly has great ambition.
"In that case, I should really engage with him properly," Jufeng said with a smile.
Tian Feng understood the meaning behind Jufeng's smile. Since Ganwen had a request of him now, he naturally intended to take advantage of this opportunity to extort a bit.
He also smiled and said, "Brother Jufeng, there's nothing wrong with that approach. However, befriending politicians can be a dangerous affair. Right now, it's because you have a common enemy. If you defeat Liu Lei, the contradictions may become apparent. So Brother Jufeng must be cautious."
Jufeng understood Tian Feng's point. Throughout history, there have been many such examples. The close relationship between the Overlord and Pei Gong was followed by the Chu River and Han Border conflict, which serves as a perfect illustration.
Jufeng pondered for a moment and said, "Tian's reminder is indeed valid. With friends like you around, I will certainly be cautious. It seems I should have a good talk with Ganwen after tonight's warrior demonstration."
