"Not comparing contributions? Then what are we comparing?" Lieutenant General Mata asked.
"Gaia Corporation established branches in each Great World primarily to select geniuses and spur the emergence of more prodigies and experts within human territory. Back then, the reason I was willing to lend out defensive talismans was because of Steel Heart's potential."
Bo Xuan True Person said calmly, "Xi Li, Mata. Think it over carefully. Even if I had not lent out those defensive talismans back then, would planet Azure Dragon 287 truly have fallen into your grasp?"
"Would it not have?" The two Red Race lieutenant generals, along with the group of Burning Ember members beside them, all looked confused.
Bo Xuan True Person looked at Bai Pu. "Steel Heart, if I hadn't lent you the defensive talismans, what would you have done?"
Bai Pu said in a clear voice, "I would have transferred the authority of Lord of Blue Star to our Blue Star senior, Duan She Li. At the time, he was already an Evolutionary, and according to the laws issued by the Silver Heart Council, he enjoyed the right to protection of private property."
Xi Li, Mata, and the others fell silent.
Bo Xuan True Person said with a smile, "See? Even if I hadn't helped, you still wouldn't have obtained planet Azure Dragon 287, correct?"
Mata gave a soft snort, clearly still unconvinced.

But they had not taken Duan She Li seriously. They were confident that after forcibly occupying Blue Star, they could then wrangle with Duan She Li in a legal dispute.
