Chapter 673 Easy Solution to a Complex Situation

Two weeks later.

The fleet members had wrapped up their vacation and returned to their duties, brimming with excitement and enthusiasm—at least the majority of them. The fleet's exploratory mission was now in full swing once again.

As usual, a meeting was taking place somewhere within the fleet, but this one was special because of one of its attendees – the emperor.

Although the mission had shifted from a no-direct-contact protocol to an active-contact protocol, its core procedures remained unchanged. The only notable difference was that fleet members could now stay in touch with their families after their shifts.

This meant the fleet continued to operate as a self-governing entity, with no interference from anyone other than the emperor. His oversight remained the only exception, and it would only extend beyond his usual limits if he explicitly stated otherwise.

This rule, combined with the fleet's unique circumstances, led to the emperor's personal attendance at the meeting he had called.

The other attendees were the same individuals who had been present when the connection with the star system was established: Ayaka and Fleet Admiral Bianchi.

“Let them keep everything they’ve earned during their training period,” Aron declared decisively, addressing what had appeared to be a significant and challenging issue.

“Why?” Ayaka inquired. “Won’t injecting such a large sum of money into the economy all at once have a negative impact?”

“There are none at the moment,” Bianchi replied. “However, the topic of leadership will be up for discussion following your meeting with them.”

“True, it will be handled afterward,” Aron said. “From the report, it seems the leadership structure and government positions were selected according to imperial protocol. If they join the empire, their only requirement will be to swear allegiance. If they become allies, we’ll just need to sign the alliance agreement as agreed. It’s not a major issue.”

“Looks like there are no more questions,” Aron said. “Then I’ll excuse myself as I need to make final preparations for a journey.” As he spoke, his body began to disintegrate, gradually disappearing from the meeting room.

Aron and Rina were seated in the cheering stand of a school football field, dressed in casual clothes. They watched with interest as children played football on the field, enjoying the lively atmosphere.

Aron was there to support his brother at his request before his departure, making the most of the time with his family before his and Rina's long journey ahead. It was a nice break from his usual duties and a chance to connect with his loved ones.

“Goal!!!!!” Aron and Rina jumped in excitement as his brother scored, their cheers nearly startling those around them. The crowd, normally composed due to their presence, seemed momentarily taken aback, especially since his fabled security team was not visible in the stadium.

“That’s my brother!” Aron exclaimed with unrestrained joy, his enthusiasm undiminished by the startled looks of those around him. He continued cheering loudly, his eyes following his younger brother as he celebrated, his smile beaming with pride and happiness.

After a moment of exuberant cheering, Aron and Rina settled back into their seats, turning their attention to the restarted match.

This was one of the final activities on their list before their departure, and Aron felt a deep sense of satisfaction for having chosen to be part of it.nÊw stories at no/vel/b/i/n(.)com
