Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss

Chapter 233 Interstellar Wilderness Star Farmer 44

Dai Lixing coldly glanced at the elders of the clan present, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

He did not respond immediately, but turned and walked to the window, his back to the crowd, his gaze fixed on the distance.

In the courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, sunlight shone on the lush green lawn, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. However, inside the living room, the atmosphere was as frozen as an ice cellar.

"Let bygones be bygones?"

Dai Lixing spoke slowly, his voice low and cold, "Second Uncle, elders, you speak so lightly. If it weren't for Songsong arriving in time back then, I would have already lost my life on Waxing. Do you think a few flimsy apologies can erase those blood debts?"

David Yuan's expression changed slightly, and cold sweat seeped out from his forehead again.

He forced a smile, trying to ease the tension: "Li Xing, what happened back then... was indeed a moment of confusion on our part. But now the family needs you, and you need the family's support. Young Master's talent is so amazing; if he can receive the family's full support, his future will be limitless. We... we are willing to pay the price for this."

"The price?" Dai Lixing turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife. "So, you also admit that the reason I ended up like that was your doing?"

Dai Lixing chuckled lightly, and without waiting for their reply, continued, "Then tell me, what price are you prepared to pay?"

David Yuan was speechless for a moment, clearly not expecting Dai Lixing to be so direct.

The elders of the clan behind him looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

Dai Lixing sneered and continued, "Since you've brought up the price, I might as well be frank. If you want to repair our relationship, fine. But you must agree to three conditions."

David nodded quickly: "You said it. As long as the family can do it, we will do our best."

"First,"

Dai Lixing raised a finger, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "Everyone involved in the Vasing incident must publicly confess their crimes and be tried by a military court. No matter who they are or what their status is, they will all be prosecuted for treason."

"This……"

David Yuan's expression changed drastically, and several elders in the clan also showed expressions of fear.

The Vasing incident has far-reaching implications. If it is truly treated as treason, the Dai family will likely suffer a severe blow.

"second,"

Ignoring their reactions, Dai Lixing continued, "All the private mines and energy stars owned by the Dai family in the Eastern Star Region must be handed over to the Federation for unified management. All the illegal profits you have obtained over the years must also be turned over to the national treasury in full."

Powerful families have long been exploiting the common people, yet they are unwilling to share even a single resource with ordinary people.

Only by taking down the powerful families one by one and bringing the Federation under his control can he give more ordinary people a glimmer of hope.

"Li Xing, this...this is far too harsh!"

David Yuan couldn't help but retort, "Those private mines and energy planets are the foundation of our family! If we hand them all over, how will the Dai family maintain its standing?"

"Establish a foothold?"

Dai Lixing sneered, "When you attacked me back then, didn't you ever think about how the Dai family would survive? Now you're feeling sorry for me? Too late."

David Yuan's face turned ashen, but he dared not refute any further.

He knew that Dai Lixing now held great power, and if he really angered him, the Dai family might not even have a chance to negotiate.

"third,"

Dai Lixing raised his third finger, his eyes blazing. "From this day forward, the Dai family must completely withdraw from both the military and political spheres. No family member may hold any important military or political position. You may choose to go into business or engage in other industries, but you must never interfere in federal affairs again."

"This...this is impossible!"

An elder of the clan finally couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his fist on the table, exclaiming, "The Dai family has served the Federation for generations. How can you just withdraw from the military and political arena like this? You're severing the Dai family's roots!"

Dai Lixing stared at him coldly, his tone devoid of any emotion: "Severed the Dai family's roots? When you attacked me back then, didn't you ever think that you would sever your own roots? Now you're scared? Too late."

David took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew that the three conditions proposed by Dai Lixing were almost enough to completely destroy the Dai family.

But he also knew that Dai Lixing was no longer the young man who could be easily manipulated.

He was the Marshal of the Federation, wielding immense power and commanding a large army.

If the Dai family doesn't agree to these conditions, they might not even have a last chance.

“Strictly enforce,”

David Yuan spoke with difficulty, "These conditions... we can consider. But as you know, the Dai family is a large family after all. If we really do as you say, it might cause quite a bit of turmoil. Do you think... could you relax the requirements a little?"

Dai Lixing sneered: "Relax? Second Uncle, do you think you still have the right to bargain? If it weren't for the sake of our clan, I wouldn't have given you this chance at all. You can choose not to agree, but the consequences... you'll have to bear them yourselves."

David Yuan's face turned pale. He knew that Dai Lixing had issued an ultimatum.

If they don't agree, the Dai family will likely face annihilation.

"it is good……"

David finally lowered his head, his voice hoarse, "We... agree to your terms."

Dai Lixing nodded, his face devoid of any joy, instead revealing a hint of coldness: "Very good. I hope you remember your promise today. If you dare to play any tricks again, don't blame me for not showing any mercy."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards Ji Xiaosong, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and said softly, "Songsong, let's go. Sui'an should rest."

Ji Xiaosong nodded and stood up, holding Ji Suian in his arms.

David Yuan and the others stood there, watching Dai Lixing and his family leave.

001 then came over and asked them all to leave.

After David Yuan and his entourage were politely "invited" out of the Marshal's Mansion by 001, the smiles on their faces vanished instantly, replaced by gloom and anger.

They quickly boarded the hovercar. As soon as the door closed, David Yuan slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat and said through gritted teeth, "Dai Lixing! How dare he humiliate us like this! Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he's a marshal?"

The elder of the clan with the white beard snorted coldly, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Weiyuan, now is not the time to lose your temper. Dai Lixing's conditions are clearly aimed at uprooting our Dai family. If we really do as he says, the Dai family's thousand-year-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Suppressing his anger, David asked in a low voice, "He now holds great power. If we confront him head-on, we will only bring about our own destruction."

"A direct confrontation is obviously not going to work,"

Another slightly plump elder narrowed his eyes, his tone cold, "But no matter how powerful Dai Lixing is, he has a weakness. Isn't his weakness Ji Xiaosong and their son Ji Suian?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in David Yuan's eyes: "You mean... start with Ji Xiaosong and Ji Suian?"

"Exactly,"

The white-bearded elder sneered, "No matter how powerful Dai Lixing is, he's just one person. As long as we control his wife and children, would he dare to kill us? Besides, Ji Xiaosong is just a farmer from a remote planet with no background. Dealing with her is a piece of cake."

“But Dai Lixing attaches great importance to Ji Xiaosong, and the Marshal’s Mansion is so heavily guarded. How can we make a move?” Dai Weiyuan asked with a frown.
