After seeking Hang Yu’s consent, Xu Tianhua immediately reported the matter of the Fishman Base to higher authorities, which clearly garnered significant attention from the bigwigs.

The next morning.

Just after returning from the Spirit Realm, Hang Yu received an invitation from Captain Lei Ying of the Celestial Net.

Unlike previous invitations, this time there was no need to go to the Celestial Net headquarters. Captain Lei directly booked a private room in Fatty’s restaurant on Cyan Dragon Street, arranging to meet right at Hang Yu’s doorstep. For someone of such stature, this approach was remarkably accommodating, greatly respecting Hang Yu.

Upon arriving at the restaurant’s private room, Hang Yu found that, not counting accompanying personnel, there were three prominent figures present.

Captain Lei Ying of Jiang City’s Celestial Net.

Xu Tianhua, Director of Jiang City’s Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau.

Besides the heads of both departments, an elder in his sixties was present. He was older than both Xu Tianhua and Lei Ying, with a very steady demeanor, and his prowess was no less than theirs.

From seating arrangements, it seemed that this elder held a higher status than Xu Tianhua and even Lei Ying. Such figures could be counted on one hand in Jiang City.

Who could he be?

Both the elder and Lei Ying seemed quite surprised.

Because Hang Yu, without hiding it, always exuded a hint of ferocity, making people feel as if they were facing a terrifying monster rather than a human!

Even those of high rank.

Couldn’t help but feel intimidated by such an aura!

This was different from the authority of office; it was purely a suppression of life level.

The elder squinted slightly and said, "Well, indeed the reputation is well-deserved. Truly one of Huaxia’s most celebrated top experts, just the demeanor and aura are beyond our reach."

"You flatter me!"

Hang Yu slightly restrained his aura.

He glanced inquiringly at Xu Tianhua.

Xu Tianhua immediately introduced, "This is Vice Mayor Huang Hongxuan."

Lei Ying also spoke, "Vice Mayor Huang came over specifically after hearing about your situation."

Hang Yu dared not be negligent.

It was actually Jiang City’s Vice Mayor!

Since the arrival of the Spirit Realm, the concept of a city mayor had completely changed.

In the Spirit Realm era, provinces were gradually withdrawn, and the national populace was centralized into thirty-six central cities. Government structures were reshaped, administrative officials underwent significant reshuffling; regions were highly self-aware, and authority had long since evolved.

In the Spirit Realm era, the power of a mayor was even greater than the top provincial leader of the past!

This type of role was typically appointed or dispatched by the central government, each having a very strong background, or simply being the top military leader locally. Even vice mayors were significant figures wielding immense real power.

Huang Hongxuan said, "Mayor Meng originally wanted to meet you personally, but due to the suddenness of the news and the fact that Mayor Meng had important tasks to handle, he sent me as his representative."

"I dare not claim this honor."

Mayor Meng should be Jiang City’s number one.

Hang Yu was very confident in his own strength and team.

However, in front of such high-level figures, he couldn’t afford to be arrogant and had to remain humble.

Vice Mayor Huang gestured for Hang Yu to sit down and said, "The establishment of your Fishman production base is of great significance. How many people are aware of it?"

Hang Yu said, "No one in the lower ranks of my team knows, only a couple of individuals close to me are in the loop."

Vice Mayor Huang nodded in satisfaction.

"That’s good, this matter will be classified as the highest-level secret in Jiang City, preventing any leaks. We must stay low profile to prevent any leaks from undermining the great situation."

"The main purpose of inviting you today is to discuss with you the collaboration on the Fishman Base project."

"Don’t misunderstand; the government has no other intentions, nor do they plan to seize benefits. From our perspective, the benefits produced by the Fishman Base are secondary; we are more concerned with its significance to the current situation."

Why was Hang Yu confident enough to expose the Fishman Base?

On one hand, he couldn’t hide it.

On the other hand, he was confident.

Civil forces in Jiang City were numerous, facing both internal and external threats, encircled by strong enemies.

The government was struggling merely to maintain stability, so deliberately provoking civil forces seemed unlikely, hence their approach was unlikely to be too aggressive.

Especially when dealing with someone like Hang Yu, who was famous, had strong backing, and was relatively gentle and lacked tendencies to establish independence as a leader of forces.

One should note.

Boss Hang and Deserted Valley Town were now almost household names across Huaxia, with the national leaders intending to elevate them as a representative image, and Jiang City’s government always trying to win over Hang Yu.

Jiang City’s government couldn’t disregard public opinion by ousting Hang Yu.

Not to mention, the Fishman Base was entirely under Hang Yu’s team control.

Without Su Yunbing’s Innate Charm technique.

The Fishman Base couldn’t have existed.

Hang Yu brought the matter to the forefront for peaceful negotiations with Jiang City’s elite, allowing the high ranks to rest assured. This openness also allowed Jiang City’s government strong support to accelerate the development of the production base, achieving mutual benefit.

Before Hang Yu could express his stance.

Captain Lei proposed his conditions: "Jiang City’s government, celestial net, Spirit Realm Military Intelligence Bureau want to jointly join in. How many shares of the Fishman Base do you think can be transferred at most?"

Hang Yu said, "At most only thirty percent."

Captain Lei and Vice Mayor Huang glanced at each other.

Huang Mingxuan slightly nodded.

The share was indeed not much, but Jiang City’s government was more interested in more than just the benefits.

Hang Yu was willing to offer thirty percent, which was quite sincere. Anything more would likely be unacceptable to the other party.

Captain Lei asked, "What are your conditions?"

"Jiang City’s side can set up an interface team at the Fishman Base, or send production teams to jointly build the production base. But they must not interfere with any management or decisions at the Fishman Base; we must personally be in charge."

Facing several prominent figures, Hang Yu confidently presented his most crucial condition.

In simple terms, supervision was allowed, but interference was not.

Xu Tianhua nodded.

Jiang City was most concerned about what.

Firstly, it worried whether Fishmen might suddenly go out of control, posing a threat to the nearby Jiang City.

Secondly, whether Hang Yu would eventually consolidate the power in his hands, considering the numbers involved in the Storm Tribe are massive!

Appropriate supervision and regulation were necessary.

In fact.

Hang Yu absolutely had no intention of proclaiming himself king amidst chaos.

Even if he planned to be king, with the Spirit Realm offering vast territories and lands in the future, why strike at Jiang City? Jiang City was his rear stronghold; Jiang City’s growth in order and prosperity would best serve Hang Yu’s interests.

Therefore, Hang Yu would not do anything threatening Jiang City, not to mention Fishmen couldn’t achieve anything significant. Without such intentions, he was very comfortable accepting supervision, reassuring everyone.

As long as the control over the Fishman Base was preserved as the baseline.

Then all cooperation following that could be negotiated.

Vice Mayor Huang decisively agreed: "Alright, we can accept those terms. Let’s discuss the specific conditions for partnership."

Captain Lei directly stated, "The celestial net can collaborate with the Fishman Base, jointly drafting plans, Sharu providing intelligence, and we responsible for action, assisting the Fishman Base in gradually annexing other Storm Tribe invaders."

Hang Yu couldn’t help but comment.

Could this even be considered a condition?

Without the Fishman Base here.

Wouldn’t Jiang City’s celestial net combat the Storm Tribe Pioneers?

Seeing Hang Yu remain silent, Captain Lei realized the other party was clearly dissatisfied, and added, "Additionally, when we combat other Storm Tribe invading forces, we will invest half of the seized resources into the Fishman production base to promote its development."

This was more satisfactory.

Hang Yu nodded.

This was not a small sum.

If the celestial net could deliver on this promise, the Fishman Base would soon grow stronger.

Captain Lei finally added another condition: "Lastly, the celestial net will provide some critical technical support to the Fishman Base. You should know our celestial net has unmatched accumulation and expertise in the production realm in Jiang City."

Hang Yu’s eyes lit up.

This condition was indeed enticing.
