2293. Happy cooperation

Seeing Tang Xiao so happy, the 'leader' snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Why, do you feel comfortable using the lives of more than one billion people in exchange for two more months of the Galactic Empire's consumption?"

"From your perspective, if you still think about issues in terms of human nature, life and death, then you are destined to achieve nothing." Tang Xiao replied with a sneer.

"Don't compare me to you! It will only make me feel sick!" the leader said in a deep voice, "My highest goal is always to build a country of freedom, equality, and peace!"

"You used to be from Galactic Republic, right?" Tang Xiao said lightly, "Galactic Republic defeated the last force of Sith in Battle of Ryloth 1,000 years ago. Who was Galactic Republic at that time?"

"That is the pinnacle of freedom, the pinnacle of democracy! It is also a goal that I am willing to fight for my whole life," the leader said.

"Hahahahahaha!!!" Tang Xiao laughed loudly, "Then the ideal country in your mind only existed for a thousand years and fell apart due to internal and external troubles... Such a regime with countless hidden dangers, you actually call it an ideal country? Hahahahahaha!!"

"That's because countless moths have appeared inside Galactic Republic! And this time, I will not allow such moths to appear!" The leader said this almost through gritted teeth, and his voice seemed to be more decisive.

"This is inevitable." Tang Xiao shook his head, "What you call freedom is just the whitewash and packaging of anarchism."

"This will not shake my determination," the leader said. "I will definitely find a better way."

"Then it's up to you." Tang Xiao also waved his hand without interest, and suddenly added, "Ah, by the way, I will give you another piece of information for free. Das-Maul, has reappeared."

The moment the name was spoken, Tang Xiao clearly felt that the leader's body was a little stiff. His eyes narrowed... It seemed like this person knew Darth-Maul?

"A Sith Lord who was supposed to be dead appears again... This is another disaster for the people of the galaxy." The leader said solemnly.

"The areas where Darth-Maul is active are in Hutt Space, Dathomir planet and other places. The last two times he appeared were in Hutt Space, Nal Hutta killed the leader of Black Sun, and in Corellia took Crimson Dawn under his command. "Tang Xiao said, "Das-Maul is currently forming a criminal group the Empire. In addition, he also has deep training with Zann Consortium."

As he spoke, he sent all the information about Das-Maul.

The leader sneered and said, "You are so active, are you planning to let me help you deal with Darth-Maul?"

"If you leave him alone, he will become a disaster sooner or later. Just keep an eye on him..." Tang Xiao said, "If possible, let them work with the Galactic Empire first. This is the best result."

"Hmph, I know how to deal with it." The leader said coldly and closed the communication.

Saleucami Planet, Zann Consortium temporary headquarters.

Several heavily armed Guardian carried a thin man in, and then threw him in front of Tiber-Zayne.

"It's you who claims to want to do business with me?" Tiber-Zayne showed a cruel smile, "But as far as I know, you are just an ordinary civilian employee with an income of no more than 20,000 credits a year. Why do you want to do business with me?"

"But even so, you still saw me." The thin man was not afraid at all and just answered expressionlessly.

"Maybe I just want to watch a live skinning performance?" Tiber-Zayne sat lazily on the sofa.

"No need. He is a controlled puppet." Night sisters Silri, standing next to Tiber-Zayne, said coldly.

"Controlled?" Tiber-Zayne looked at him with interest, looking up and down.

The thin man nodded and said, "Being able to see through this shows that you have some strength. Let me tell you directly. I have a mineral planet here. On this planet, a unique mineral is produced - Cortosis (Cortosis). This mineral is extremely rare, and it is very difficult to mine and process. However, this mineral can cut off Lightsaber."

As soon as he heard this, Tiber-Zayne's eyes lit up, he sat upright and asked, "What's the cutting method?"

"When Lightsaber touches Cortosis, Lightsaber will be forcibly closed." said the thin man.

"Then during the Lightsaber duel, if you suddenly encounter this situation... it will be almost fatal." Although Tiber-Zayne is not Force-sensitive, he has also received training from Shen Qiaoen and is very clear about this. "Hahaha, interesting, please elaborate."

"It's just that mining this kind of ore is very difficult. First of all, no known creature can directly come into contact with this kind of ore. Otherwise, even Hutt or Indjori with energy resistance will not be able to escape death. Second, because of this The ore has extremely high energy resistance, and laser mining is impossible. Third, the dust produced during the mining process is flammable and has a very low ignition point. Therefore, even if it is mined with an excavator and drill, it is very likely to cause a devastating explosion." The thin man raised three fingers.

Tiber-Zayne sneered, "Then what do you want to say? Only you know how to mine this kind of ore?"

"Yes, only I know." The thin man nodded expressionlessly, "And Cortosis is buried very deep, and the mining project is also very huge. I can clearly say that Duchy of Dawn has controlled at least one production area, but they are not yet able to mine and process it effectively. Before, I gave this technology to Count Dooku, but he did not persist until the day he saw the results."

"What do you want?" Tiber-Zayne finally became interested.

"Of course... cooperation." The thin man showed an unpredictable smile.

At this moment, Tiber-Zayne's communicator suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was his master, Shen Qiaoen.

In the holographic projection, Shen Qiaoen looked at the thin man and said coldly, "Where is the production area controlled by Duchy of Dawn you mentioned?"

"Of course I can't..." Before he could finish his words, an invisible force grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

"Don't challenge my patience, and don't think that you can evade my detection with such a puppet. Answer honestly, you have such a shred of qualifications, and talk to me about the conditions." Shen Qiaoen said coldly.

"Bal... Bal-Demi Nick planet (Bal'demnic)!!" the thin man said loudly.

"Ah... Bal-Demi Nick Planet... hehehehehehe..." Shen Qiaoen laughed darkly.

"Master, do you know this planet?" Tiber-Zayne asked with a frown.

"Ah~~... of course I know. Because this is where my master, Darth-Tenebrus, died." Shen Qiaoen sneered.

"Then this planet..."

"Yes, he is telling the truth. This planet produces Cortosis, and this kind of ore is difficult to mine. Cooperate with him and see what he can come up with." Shen Qiaoen dropped these words and closed the communication.
