Chapter 1606
Genuine laughter came from the drone as Loki just stood there with a look of surprise on his face. After a short pause, Jiang Chen, who was flying the drone, said.
“In addition to my family and loved ones, you are now the fourth person who knows that I am still alive. Well, tell me now how you plan to make me believe you that you will keep it a secret.”
“That kind of promise is not necessary at all.If you don’t believe me, just use the clippers on the garden drone to get rid of me.” Loki had a faint smile as he watched the clippers on the drone, “No one will be held responsible for a dead person. Everyone will definitely think it was an accident caused by the drone’s aging due to lack of maintenance.”
“Really? But this will affect the reputation of the Future Group’s unmanned products, so let’s go friend.Jiang Chen laughed.
Loki breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Chen’s words.
If Jiang Chen really planned to get rid of him, then he wouldn’t care at all about the “reputation of drones.” Since he could still use that saying as a joke, Jiang Chen probably didn’t care about the fact that he was still alive.
Actually, when Loki decided to come today , that was risky in itself.
Although he was not on the SS Istok’s passenger list, the Boston Consortium was on the Asset Liquidation Committee’s list. The Asset Elimination Committee’s explanation was very simple. While Loki did not escape to SS Origin, the consortium was not just Loki’s family. The Kennedy family, the Adams, and even the sons of Loki also escaped at Istok.
And the most important thing was that these people got tickets to board the starship, all because of their relationship with the Boston Consortium.
The Asset Disposal Committee stated that Loki could keep the assets under his own name, but assets belonging to the Consortium and other family members would be confiscated.
This decision was a death sentence, as was the Boston Consortium, So does Loki’s family.
“I don’t understand why you didn’t board the ship? Just don’t tell me you missed it.”
Inside his mansion in Coconut Island, Jiang Chen looked at the wrinkled face on the holographic screen and asked with a smile.
“Apart from me, all of Loki’s family is already on board… including my wife.”
“Why?”
“Because you said I could live longer.
Jiang Chen pulled away for a second and then laughed out loud.
“Isn’t it fun to laugh at an old man?” Loki said helplessly.

“No, no…” Jiang Chen laughed and waved his hand. “I just underestimated the appeal of longer life spans to ordinary people. But haven’t you thought about it? If you stay, maybe you won’t be able to last even a week?»
“So my family thought I was crazy, and my wife even thought I was already demented.” Loki sniffed, then narrowed his eyes and looking up at the sky, said with feeling: “At that time, I didn’t care. Before they left, I entrusted the future of the Loki family to my eldest son.I believe that he will lead the people who will follow us to build a new home on Alpha Centauri…”
Jiang Chen did not deny what he said or comment, but simply smiled instead.
Sooner or later, the Earth Federation will make Alpha Centauri its own territory.
This could be after the final battle with Harmony, or be before.
“There’s only one thing I want to ask you,” Loki paused for a moment, then asked, “Is the deal between us still valid?”
About a few years ago, at a state banquet in Ecuador, Jiang Chen made a deal with Loki. As long as the Boston Consortium is ready to help Sky Trade take the lead in establishing the World Union Reserve, Jiang Chen will give him an extra lifespan of at least fifty years.
“It’s up to you,” Jiang Chen said.
“What do you want me to do?” Loki asked respectfully.
“Well… you don’t have to do anything special. You just have to do your job well as President of the World Union Reserve and cooperate with the Interim Committee. Sooner or later, what should be yours will be yours.” Jiang Chen smiled.
“Is that all?»
Loki looked at the drone camera in surprise.
At first he thought that today he would have to pay a certain price, but he did not expect that Jiang Chen succumbs to him so easily.
“Uh-huh.”
Honestly, if it was before, Jiang Chen might be interested in taking a bite out of the meat of the Boston Consortium.
But now…
How best to describe it… fly meat is still meat, but it’s too tiny to bother with.
The Earth Federation had already been established, and he had successfully gone backstage.
There was no worthy opponent on the entire planet that he could consider seriously. Heavenly Trade and Future Group were like two huge monsters that dictated the future of all mankind in every aspect.
Regarding the future of Heavenly Trade…
The destination was light-years away in a sea of stars…
“Let me give you some advice,” said Jiang Chen.
Loki took a moment to consider the offer, then hurriedly spoke respectfully.
“Please continue.
“While the DNA telomere lengthening medicine is still good for you, hurry up and make yourself heirs,” Jiang Chen laughed and leaned back in his chair. “Don’t wait until your time comes and you don’t have anyone to inherit your assets. Even if I crossed your name off the list, in the end your assets would still have to be confiscated.”
“…”
Loki didn’t know what to say about Jiang Chen’s proposal.
***
Elections for the federation assembly were in their final stages, and the term of the interim government was also almost at an end.
Just as those left behind were busy re-electing their own leaders, space companies led by Future Heavy Industries and Sky Trade, under the auspices of the Provisional Committee organization, began rebuilding the Earth Fleet .
Earth civilization still had a century left, but no one thought it was a long time.
After all, the task was not only to build an Earth Fleet without a single remaining battleship, but also to rebuild the most important shipyard.
The once fiery red planet has become an asteroid belt. Both the Heavenly Palace and the spaceport were blown up and nothing remained of them.Jiang Chen originally planned to turn Mars into the largest industrial base in the solar system and the second home of terrestrial civilization, but now this long-term plan has had to be revised.
Fortunately, although Mars is no longer a planet, the mass itself did not disappear from the air.
With the exception of some fragments accelerated to the third space velocity, which may leave the solar system, most of the remaining fragments will eventually remain due to many factors, such as mutual collisions and the influence of celestial gravity , just like the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.
These rich mineral resources could still be used on Earthfleet starships.
On the second birthday of the Federation Assembly, two Chaika-class starships simultaneously departed Sky City’s harbor and headed for the fragmented debris of the planet.
First the mission was to assess the damage from the antimatter bomb, and the other mission was to survey the situation there.
Based on this plan, Sky Trade decided to select the largest asteroid in asteroid belt and rebuild the spaceport.
This time, the Earth civilization will invest not only in the resources of the enterprise, but also in the labor, material and research capacities of the entire Earth Federation. Jiang Chen firmly believed that the next battle against the Harmony Civilization would definitely not be in the solar system, but in the distant constellation Gliese…
