Chapter 2887 - 29: 50,000 a Month!

For the native forces on this kind of planet, they really did want some things.

But that was because they felt they had the strength. They were biting down on some resources, and if you refused to give them benefits, then when people from the Insect Queen’s Power took over, things would at least be chaotic in that area for quite a while. Even if it was barely brought under control in the end, it would be hard to make it truly cost‑effective. That was what they were relying on.

Too bad, they had plenty to rely on, but they ran into someone who doesn’t play by the rules.

Or rather, Strong Ones never play by the rules.

Bang!

The Respect-Level Being who had been speaking had his head explode in an instant.

Dealing with a Respect-Level Being was already effortless for Jia Yan; one thought was enough to kill.

"Th-this... Lord, you just killed him outright?"

The other Respect-Level Being on the other side had never expected that this Star River Middle Stage existence sent by the Insect Queen’s Power would be this domineering, just killing directly.

"Haha, you lot must’ve stayed on peaceful planets too long, your brains have gone dull. You dare threaten a Strong One? Don’t say Lord Jia Yan—if it were me, just hearing what you did, I’d wipe you out in one go too."

Beside Jia Yan, a Stellar-level existence let out a cold laugh.

"Uh."

The Respect-Level Being’s words jammed in his throat on the spot.

Yeah, they were in the most developed part of the Milky Way, the Central Starfield where the culture of Strong Ones was most prosperous. But for Strong Ones like them who had stayed on ordinary planets for so long, they’d long since grown hazy about slaughter out there. They’d even forgotten there was actually a massive gap between them and true Strong Ones.

Jia Yan’s single burst of Brainwave Power made that Respect-Level Being recall the relationship between Strong Ones and the weak. He immediately started trembling all over, scared stiff, like a cicada in winter.

"Enough, don’t scare them any further. They’re just some Dignitaries; scaring them won’t get much. In short, you’re taking over now. Those who want to live, stay here and work properly, hand over the assets. Those who don’t want to live, kill them."

Jia Yan didn’t even want to bother with this kind of thing. He didn’t stay at all, and flew up into the sky.

Behind him, a Stellar-level Being very consciously stayed behind to handle what Jia Yan didn’t feel like doing.

He wasn’t worried about his own safety, because on a planet, even if there were other Stellar-level beings who wanted to make a move on him, he might well be able to beat them himself, and even if he couldn’t, on a planet with a diameter of ten thousand kilometers, Jia Yan could rush over extremely fast—or even before he arrived, he could already use Brainwave Power to help resolve any security problems.

Besides, the enemy had handed over the planet. If they still tried to ambush their Just Stellar Level on this planet, that’d just be too stupid.

On this planet, Jia Yan didn’t find any enemies worth his particular attention. After all, Galaxy Level beings would absolutely not remain on a planet that had already been lost to the Insect Queen’s Power. As for Stellar-level existences, Jia Yan simply didn’t consider any Stellar-level existence worth being treated as a priority enemy, okay?

There were, however, some Respect-Level Beings who weren’t very sensible. They fancied themselves big shots who’d been operating on this Commercial Star for a long time. One by one, they were killed by Jia Yan without the slightest bit of politeness, and that made all the upper echelons of the other small forces who heard the news panic.

Even those big shots who’d entrenched themselves locally for many years, who had survived multiple power shifts before, were casually removed. Compared to them, these people were worth nothing.

On this Commercial Star, there really hadn’t been much worry before. Even the beings who’d fled the Commercial Star were mainly the relatives or diehard followers of the opposing forces; otherwise, they wouldn’t have run.

But at this moment, countless ordinary people and business folk alike all wanted to escape.

The new owner of this Commercial Star was just too overbearing.

The problem was, it seemed Jia Yan and his people had already anticipated this. For the moment, the entire planet was one‑way only: entry allowed, exit forbidden.

Immediately, countless businesses took a hit. Many people were furious, and quite a few went bankrupt.

A lot of people were questioning whether this new Master understood business at all, and whether he understood how much a single day’s shutdown on such a prosperous Commercial Star would cost, and how much panic it would cause. In the future, no one would be willing to operate on this planet anymore.

But when it came to commerce, Jia Yan really didn’t understand a thing. His Subordinates did.

The Subordinates who’d come with Jia Yan all knew very clearly what kind of losses a lockdown of the Commercial Star would cause, and what kind of loss of confidence it would bring. But they didn’t try to persuade Jia Yan, because they knew this was the fastest way to recover control of the place.

Matters of the Commercial Star, to Jia Yan and these Stellar-level and Respect-Level Beings from the Insect Queen’s Power, simply weren’t major issues concerning themselves. The life and death of the people here didn’t matter to them. They weren’t even the same Species to begin with. The people of the Insect Queen’s Power were all like Jia Yan, from far‑off places, so there was even less talk of any blood ties. Talking about humanitarianism was meaningless.

So in this operation, no matter how many ordinary citizens were affected, how many families went bankrupt, or how much social turmoil it caused, it was all irrelevant to Jia Yan and these people. What mattered was how fast they could seize control of this planet, and then start outputting immediately, adding bricks and tiles to the Insect Queen’s Power.
