Chapter 759: Heavy Losses
"......"
The young man with eyes on his hand was startled, "There is a network here; isn't it disconnected from The Grand Alliance?"
"Correct, but the communication network covering the whole planet still exists, and it's 5G." Ma Lu added.
"Ah?" The young man with eyes on his hand obviously didn't expect this and turned his head to look behind him, "Mom, what should we do then?"
A tall and elegant beauty in her early fifties, with a sophisticated aura, smiled at him, "Jiya, I've left my gloves on the spaceship, could you please go back and find them for me?"
"We're about to have dinner now…" The young man murmured half a sentence but eventually did not disobey his mother's request, turning back to stand in the light circle.
"I'll be back soon."
As his figure was absorbed into the UFO above, the beautiful woman finally turned her gaze to the four small animals by the table, "Earth Autonomy Management Committee?"
The wombat stood up and leaned slightly, "Hello Minister Dalia, I am the president of the Earth Autonomy Management Committee, you can call me Yiyi."
"President Yiyi, as far as I know, the Earth Autonomy Management Committee hasn't registered with The Grand Alliance, and I recall that The Grand Alliance established a no-fly zone over Earth over a thousand years ago, prohibiting any citizens of The Grand Alliance from coming here without permission, so…"
"Correct, the Earth Autonomy Management Committee is indeed an unofficial organization." The wombat admitted candidly.
"Or to put it another way, it's an illegal organization." Dalia said with a playful tone.
Her entourage, a group clad in Power Armor, raised their explosive energy assault rifles upon hearing her words.
Yet, the Black Mountain Goat was unfazed and scoffed, "With just a few of you, dare to make a move against us on Earth?"
"We indeed didn't bring many people this time, but don't forget that we have the entire Grand Alliance behind us." Dalia looked up, "You must have heard about the fate of the Ares people; that's what happens to those who defy the Council.
"Regardless of which Plane you are in, you cannot escape."
Her last remark was said with a stern face and a sharp gaze swept across the four small animals by the table.
However, she saw no hint of fear on their faces; the Black Mountain Goat even cocked one leg, boldly chewing a napkin in front of her.
"Put away your little tricks of political negotiation, Minister Dalia, we're not intimidated."
Dalia narrowed her eyes, a flash of anger in her beautiful eyes, but soon a deep and hoarse voice sounded behind her.
"Allow me to talk to them."
If Dalia was considered a great beauty, then the man behind her, though not hideously ugly, could be likened to Master Yoda, especially with the wrinkles on his face that made him look at least seventy years old.
His physique was frail, and hands like chicken claws holding a cane, seemed like a gust of wind could topple him.
Nevertheless, Ma Lu was not fooled by his appearance, as he had encountered a similar looking fellow not long ago.
"Kuerqike people?"
The man glanced at Ma Lu beside him, "You know of my race?"
"I've heard that you and your people are very skilled in Psychic Power."
"Correct, our mental strength is much greater than that of other species, but with it comes the cost of physical frailty."
The man sighed, "I actually envy you Earthlings; you have no particular specialties, but also no significant weaknesses."
"Uh... that's quite a unique compliment."
"I mean it sincerely, often the more you think, the more pain you feel." The man sighed again.
"I tend to not worry about things I can't control." Ma Lu said, "I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My name is Motti."
"Motti... why does that name sound familiar, I think I've heard it somewhere before."
Ma Lu pondered for a moment and suddenly shivered, "Wait, you mean Motti, the Councilman of the Grand Alliance Council, the one captured by Ivan VI?"
"How bold!" Motti's bodyguard chided loudly, "You'd better show some respect to Motti, Earthling."
Motti waved his hand, "You seem to be quite well-versed in current affairs, Earthling."
"But... aren't you supposed to be at the headquarters of Creation Technology tonight, inaugurating their new large-scale High-Dimensional Artifact laboratory with their CEO? That's not right, I recall from the news half an hour ago, your spaceship had already landed."
"You are even more involved in current events than I imagined, Earthling." Motti sounded surprised, "The one on TV is my doppelganger."
"Doppelganger?"
"You see, as the Councilman of the Grand Alliance Council, I am very busy on a regular basis. If I attended every public event myself, I wouldn't have any private time. So, I had Creation Technology develop a doppelganger for me.
"For some people, I don't want to meet and purely face-scanning political events, I will send my doppelganger instead. The time saved is usually spent with my family and others."
As Motti spoke, he embraced Dalia, "But I must admit that both Dalia and I are busier than ordinary people and have not been able to fulfill the duties of a father and mother, thus we are somewhat lacking in parenting our children.
"I need to apologize to you on behalf of Jiya, our spaceship's sudden appearance disrupted the peace of this Plane and brought you trouble, regarding the subsequent impact..."
"I've already had people dealing with it." Wombat said, "I have contracted several top PR firms to heavily post on major forums that this third kind...
