"What was his identity?"

When Sonia heard that she had not taken the initiative to mention it, yet the other party wanted to seek him out on his own, Harvey’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

"Norman Halls, an elite officer of the Nova Corps. He holds considerable authority within the Nova Corps."

Sonia gave the name upon hearing that.

Harvey fell into thought.

The rank of elite officer in the Nova Corps was not low. It was only one level below the highest-ranking commander.

More than buying gravity devices, the other party probably wanted to probe his background.

He might even have hoped to use money to win him over and get him to agree to let Nova Corps personnel join the Void Cult as well.

Harvey himself did not particularly want to deal with military personnel.

Dam had come from humble beginnings, so he was comparatively honest. Even after rising to a high position, though his nature had changed somewhat,

he would not become as black-hearted as officers who had spent years in high positions and gone through countless schemes and intrigues.

"Are there any others besides him?"

After considering it, Harvey spoke.

"Besides him, eight people have expressed interest in learning more. They will make time to come take a look sometime within the next week."

"If things go well, we should initially be able to negotiate orders worth over one hundred million each."

Upon hearing Mr. Kassadin’s words, Sonia pulled up a list and spoke.

They were all important figures from other planets who had established branch companies on Xandar. As long as the product quality was sufficient, they would bring even greater profits in the future.

"Eight people this quickly?"

"You’ve done very well."

"Then go negotiate with them."

Hearing Sonia speak so humbly and obtain results so quickly, Harvey praised her before speaking.

As for Norman Charles, he would find a time to speak with him personally.

If the man was friendly, there would be plenty to discuss. If he was hostile, Harvey would not be polite.

"Alright, then I’ll continue asking around."

Sonia sensed that Mr. Kassadin did not seem inclined to accept Norman Halls’s terms. She did not ask for the reason and simply nodded in agreement.

Mr. Kassadin’s name was renowned throughout Xandar.

Although members of the Void Cult had not leaked any information, the force Mr. Kassadin had established was bound to attract the attention of certain important figures in the Nova Corps.

Personally, she also did not want this deal to go through, because it meant the other party was not sincerely buying gravity devices. He was offering an astronomical sum merely to gain an opportunity to speak with Mr. Kassadin.

Sonia knew that Mr. Kassadin did not wish to give him priority over those wealthy businessmen.

However, regardless of what Sonia wanted, she had to seek Mr. Kassadin’s opinion on a ten-billion deal.

Otherwise, if she rejected it on her own initiative and Norman Charles came knocking,

Mr. Kassadin might find out that she had concealed the matter from him, causing him to lose some trust in her.

"Go ahead."

Harvey immediately agreed.

After Sonia left, Harvey looked at the stars scattered across the night sky, sipping tea as he pondered.

If possible, Harvey did not wish to come to blows with the Nova Corps.

Destroying the Nova Corps would not be difficult for him. The difficult part was what would happen after the Void Cult took over Xandar.

There were still fewer than three hundred members in the Void Cult. Though there were quite a few talented people among them, he did not have enough subordinates to properly govern Xandar.

Furthermore, destroying the Nova Corps might affect Star-Lord’s future actions, and the Power Stone would no longer be delivered right to his doorstep.

Therefore, if the Nova Corps truly came knocking and acted aggressively, he would have to consider how to intimidate them without starting an all-out war.

That way, all he needed to do was wait for the Power Stone to be delivered, then let Dam gradually rise to a high position.

He could then work together with the Void Cult to slowly influence Xandar without causing too many casualties.

Titles like demon and monster were not as useful as the title of god.

The former only made countless people fear you and unwilling to follow you.

Gods were different. Others would not only willingly follow and worship you, but would also voluntarily offer gifts and sacrifices.

Harvey glanced at his Void Energy. With so many members joining, it had now reached 5.86 million.

To exchange for Voidreaver Kha’Zix’s Hero Origin, Mecha Alien, he only needed 100 million Void Energy.

It was precisely because he had gained so much Void Energy despite having so few members that Harvey tightened the restrictions on recruiting people into the Void.

So, he planned to temporarily recruit around one thousand members. By then, it would not take long for him to exchange for the Hero Origin.

One thousand was still within a manageable range for the time being.

If he granted blessings to too many people, with them scattered throughout the universe, many might secretly violate the commandments.

If they were not caught and judged immediately, they would spread like a virus and infect other Void Cult members. A faction advocating the devouring of their own kind might emerge, and they might even directly clash with God King Odin.

If they clashed with God King Odin and failed to defeat him, allowing Odin to escape, Zeus would be drawn in as well. Just thinking about it was troublesome.

The thought of having to manage so many people in the future gave Harvey a headache.

He truly did not know how God King Odin managed Asgard’s vast population.

So Harvey decided not to think about it for now. He returned to the hall and lazed around while playing games.

After all, Sonia’s side had already made some progress. As long as those people were willing to come inspect the samples,

Harvey was not worried that the more advanced gravity devices made by Tony would fail to attract them.

Sonia, meanwhile, first helped Mr. Kassadin tactfully reject Norman Halls’s terms.

Afterward, she began contacting the others.

After a full day of contacting people, she had reached out to more than two hundred, and only sixteen had responded in total.

Though there were only sixteen, that was already quite a number.

Without Mr. Tony’s reputation having spread, and without relying on Mr. Kassadin’s name,

having sixteen out of more than a hundred people willing to send someone to inspect the samples and learn the details was already a great show of respect.

As long as they closed even one deal with these people, it would basically be worth hundreds of millions.

If every deal went through, after costs, they would bring in at least eight hundred million.

Once Mr. Tony’s technological products entered the market and more people learned of them, orders would come to them on their own.

Bounty Hunters earned money quickly and worked freely, but not everyone could become a legend like Mr. Kassadin.

Most Bounty Hunters were essentially still working for the wealthy, completing tasks for them before taking their payment and leaving.

If one wanted to make money, starting a business and running a company was still the way to go.

And Mr. Tony excelled at weapons technology. The universe was enormous, wars were being fought everywhere, and there were monsters as well.

There were also many relatively backward planets. There would never be a shortage of buyers for weapons.

Thinking that they would not lack money in the future, Sonia smiled.

Although Mr. Kassadin would not give all the money to her, he had still given her a great deal of money that she could freely use.
