Chapter 1189
Ishido Mitsuko was taken aback by Xiao Ran's words, but her expression did not change. She merely gave a soft laugh. "President Sir is worrying too much. I know very well what Ishido Heavy Industries has relied on to develop to this point. Without Earth at our back, we merchants would naturally have no way to continue developing. If Earth were threatened and humanity faced a matter of life and death, Ishido Heavy Industries would certainly do what it ought to do."
"Very good." Xiao Ran nodded. "I believe you can do it. Ishido Heavy Industries will need to put more thought into supporting the integration efforts, manufacturing the new models, and modifying the White Star. With Ishido Heavy Industries' foundation and Miss Mitsuko's abilities, I believe it will certainly achieve even greater and better development in the future. Of that, I am deeply convinced."
Mitsuko seemed to catch the hidden meaning in Xiao Ran's words. Her smile grew brighter as her beautiful eyes shifted toward him. "Then I must thank President Sir for his trust."
With only those few words, the two of them seemed to have concluded a transaction unknown to outsiders. Xiao Ran would give Ishido Heavy Industries better opportunities for development, while Mitsuko would give Xiao Ran the support and allegiance he wished to see.
The next day, Xiao Ran once again met Shiun Theodore, who traveled back and forth between the Moon and Satellite Integration—or perhaps he should now be called Aiseldah Shiun, Royal Knight.
Though it was the same person they were meeting again, his identity had changed considerably. However, because the existence of the Moon People could not be made public, although Aiseldah had once more set foot within Satellite Integration on behalf of the Moon People, everything was kept simple.
