During this meeting, he basically couldn't get a word in, and no one cared about his feelings or opinions at all.

However, after stating their respective needs, they discovered that there were no fundamental conflicts between them.

The Mokujin Alien wanted to kill Lucia and Zara, and the Natan Alien wanted to kill the Maya Siblings.

There were only four people, so if they were killed, so be it. They didn't lack these few slaves.

At this moment, the Crow Alien tactfully expressed that for the sake of stable cooperation, they should at least wait until after they defeated the Defense Team before handing Zara over.

Although it was said respectfully and politely, everyone could tell that it was afraid the Mokujin Alien would turn hostile and leave after killing Zac, thus breaking this fragile balance.

The Mokujin Alien tacitly agreed. He was also worried about being caught by Abobas if he was alone. They didn't know that Abobas only had combat power at night.

Only the Kaitel Alien's request could not be met, because he wanted to kill all young humans.

This, of course, could not be allowed.

Abobas needed strong warriors, and the Crow Alien wanted slaves who could work.

If all the young and middle-aged people were killed, would they bring back a bunch of old, weak, sick, and disabled people?

In the end, the Kaitel Alien had to lower his demands, saying that killing one-third of Earth's population would be enough, and that he wanted to personally kill Qi Ming for revenge.

Thus, the five aliens temporarily reached an agreement.

After the meeting, the Crow Alien leader privately found Abobas, saying that since they were partners, they should cooperate when dividing the Earthlings as slaves later and not cause conflict.

Partners... You low-level creatures are not worthy?

Abobas scoffed inwardly but feigned agreement outwardly.

Being able to grow giant, his life level was higher than the Crow Alien's. During his time active on Earth, he could vaguely sense something terrifying dormant on this planet. If he provoked it, he might not be able to retreat unscathed.

Now, all he wanted was to capture some people and report back, so as not to have come all this way for nothing.

At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind: weren't these aliens powerful combatants? Unfortunately, with so many of them, even at night, he couldn't take them all down.

And so, with ulterior motives and even old grudges, the alliance of several aliens decided to attack the human world tonight and eliminate their fighting strength.

"What, you can't sense him?"

After returning to the command room, Lucia gestured a lot, making Qi Ming understand what she meant.

Perhaps because Zara had been shrunk, Lucia could no longer sense him.

Yamanaka showed a look of disappointment: "A wasted trip!"

Mamoru Shirogane sternly admonished him: "Saving a life is hardly a wasted trip."

Just then, the door to the command room opened. Director Yin, who had tried to kill Chief of Staff Kiriyama that day, walked in aggressively with four subordinates.

Qi Ming greeted him enthusiastically: "Long time no see, does your face still hurt?"

The others in the Defense Team didn't know about his past conflict with He Zhi's faction, so they were a bit bewildered by his question.

Director Yin's sharp aura was disrupted, and his stiff, cold face couldn't help but twitch.

He took a deep breath to calm himself and then stated his purpose.

"I heard that the Defense Team has friends from outer space. Don't neglect your guests and damage the friendship between us and alien civilizations."

He expressed his hope to hand Lucia over to the Security Department, who would host her well.

Lucia shrank back. Director Yin's gaze made her very uncomfortable, reminding her of the Mokujin Alien.

The word "friendship" made Qi Ming's heart stir. He thought that He Zhi was planning to torture Lucia to extract star coordinates and bomb her planet.

He said calmly, "Lucia was just rescued by us from fierce aliens. She only feels safe by our side now. Aren't we having a good chat?"

Director Yin presented a few more reasons, but Qi Ming easily deflected them all.

The back-and-forth exchange made everyone very curious. Why was Director Yin, a Security Department head, so concerned about Lucia?

Qi Ming also wondered, since Lucia couldn't sense Zara's location and couldn't find the Crow Alien's lair, why was she important to this operation? What was wrong with handing her over to Director Yin for safekeeping?

Director Yin finally dropped the pretense: "We request your cooperation in handing over the alien for us to look after. This is Chief of Staff He Zhi's directive."

Qi Ming remained unmoved and replied indifferently, "We will not hand her over. This is my decision."

The atmosphere in the command room immediately became extremely tense.

Kishida and Yamanaka were wide-eyed. Director Yin was usually unapproachable, an extreme hawk, and a representative of Chief of Staff He Zhi.

They usually avoided interacting with him and even actively avoided him, let alone provoking him.

In their eyes, this guy was even more terrifying than Deputy Captain Saijo.

And Qi Ming was now clearly confronting him.

Mamoru Shirogane, unaware of the inside story, didn't know what to say. He wondered why Qi Ming could provoke everyone equally and be at odds with everyone.

Was he too arrogant after gaining Ultraman's power, looking down on ordinary humans? That wouldn't be good.

Director Yin: "You..."

Qi Ming waved his hand as if swatting away a fly: "Alright, you can leave now that you've said your piece. Weren't you satisfied with your right cheek being slapped last time? Do you want to offer up your left cheek this time?"

Emi could clearly see the veins bulging on Director Yin's head.

At this moment, Yamanaka and Kishida no longer harbored any resentment.

What did it matter if he wasn't respected as a senior? What did it matter if he got beaten up? This person dared to scold Director Yin himself; he was truly a role model for us!

Even Nagi Saijo, who was concerned about the Umeda Siblings and uninterested in these matters, looked at Qi Ming with renewed admiration.

As expected, Qi Ming didn't treat people differently based on their status; he attacked everyone who opposed him with equal measure.

Ultimately, the previous lesson made Director Yin not dare to directly confront Qi Ming. "Next time, I will bring the official order document."

After saying this, he turned and left, and the command center remained silent.

Even though Director Yin brought up Chief of Staff He Zhi, Qi Ming didn't give him any face. Was he not considering the consequences of his actions at all?

Kishida: "Team member Qi Ming, from what you just said... did you have a conflict with Director Yin?"

Qi Ming: "I kicked him once and slapped him once."

Yamanaka was shocked: "How come we never heard about this?"

Qi Ming: "He did something he shouldn't have, and I caught him red-handed. Of course, he wouldn't dare to make a fuss."
