Before the representative from the Array of Stars could make his offer, Kyle told him one sentence.
"Inner World will contact the Array of Stars," Kyle transmitted.
This confused the representative. Why would Inner World contact them for this unaffiliated Seeker?
"I don't see how that's relevant," the representative transmitted.
"It is relevant. I can't give you any details. I can only tell you that Inner World will contact the Array of Stars," Kyle answered.
"Are you a member of Inner World?" he asked.
"I don't want to talk about my status," Kyle answered.
The representative felt like he had hit a wall. "Don't you want to listen to our offer first?"
"My current status makes any offers irrelevant, no matter how good they are," Kyle answered. "I can only tell you that Inner World will contact the Array of Stars."
The representative remained silent for a while. "Fine, I will inform my superiors."
"Thank you," Kyle transmitted back.
The representative went back to the other representatives. "We're done."
The representative from the Contrast Empire felt the negotiations hadn't gone as planned, but they hadn't failed either.
While he didn't know what Azure Comet had discussed with the other representatives, he could make some guesses based on how long each conversation had lasted.
The longest conversation had been with the Grand Exchange. However, it was almost certain that Azure Comet hadn't joined the Grand Exchange. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given them so many valuables.
The second-longest conversation had been with Inner World. There was a big chance that Inner World had recruited Azure Comet.
The shortest one had been with the Array of Stars, which meant that this conversation couldn't have gone anywhere. Naturally, the Contrast Empire was more than fine with that.
"Then, the negotiations are over," the representative from the Contrast Empire said. "Thank you for your time, Azure Comet."
"Thank you as well," Kyle answered.
The representatives said their goodbyes and left.
When Kyle was alone again, he sighed.
"This was tough, but I think I succeeded. The Array of Stars knows my value, and they will probably give Inner World enough Energy Stones to support me during my remaining time in the Secondary Sector. The Grand Exchange will also abstain from any votes."
"The only party that truly wants me gone is the Contrast Empire, but it won't be easy."
"I just hope I finally won enough time to comprehend my Complex Law."
Kyle returned to studying his Law, hoping everything would work out.
While Kyle was focusing on his Laws, the Contrast Empire started to become active.
First, it wanted to know if any of the other Organizations had recruited Azure Comet. While it really wanted Azure Comet gone from the Secondary Sector, it also had to be mindful of the other powerful Organizations.
The Grand Exchange gave a quick answer, saying that it hadn't recruited Azure Comet.
Inner World and the Array of Stars needed a couple of years to answer, but when their answers came, the Contrast Empire proverbially furrowed its brows.
In essence, this would upgrade the Secondary Sector, as about 20% more Planets would be available than before. Azure Comet's Planet would also be kept as a sort of throne for the overlord, strengthening their authority and impact.
