The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 766 Invisible Storm

The Moonfall Star is located in the same star cluster as the Golden Crane Star, so it is not far away. However, it is separated by two large military bases with special backgrounds, making the surrounding routes particularly complex, difficult to switch between, and prone to encountering star route inspections.

However, Jiang Hui and his group didn't need to worry about any of this. Having someone to lead the way would save them a lot of trouble, so they simply followed the Hillman family's private line directly there.

"Did you know Hillman's second brother before?" After boarding Hillman's private car and finding a private room, Jiang Hui remembered what happened yesterday.

Then I thought it probably wasn't that; if we knew each other, the other person wouldn't greet me like that. After all, the other person is the heir to the group, and he's a serious person; such a person wouldn't be lacking in manners.

Clarence shook his head: "I haven't seen him before, but I've heard of him."

Is that all? But why does the other party seem to be behaving strangely towards Mr. Vitaly? No, the other party doesn't seem to be taking the initiative to speak to Clarence either, as if they are avoiding him.

Could it be that the Clarence family and the Hillman family are at odds?! But I've never heard El mention it before. The two of them seem to get along quite well, not like there's any animosity between their families.

“It’s not what you think,” Clarence immediately interrupted the other’s wandering thoughts. “There’s nothing that can’t be said. Although the Hillman family is a neutral noble family, they belong to the new faction, while our family, although relatively neutral, is actually part of the old faction.”

It turns out it was still a difference in stance. She knew that the Clarence family was a typical old aristocratic family, but she didn't expect that the Hillman family was a new faction. The conflict between the new and old factions had indeed been going on for many years in the interstellar space. Although it was not as big as the conflict between the aristocracy and the common people, it was still real. Moreover, the conflict between the two factions in the business world was particularly fierce due to the issue of resource development.

Despite this background, neither race is actually a die-hard with an absolute stance; they are simply following this background. Their daily interactions are normal and there are no problems.

After all, the upper circle is only so big, and there are always various occasions for clinking glasses and exchanging benefits, so it's easy for different families to run into each other. If they were to strictly follow the divisions based on their affiliation, wouldn't they be split into dozens of groups, and none of them would need to interact anymore?

Therefore, the interaction between the youngest son of the Clarence family and the youngest son of the Hillman family was just a normal friendship, and neither family had any objections.

However, when it comes to interests and certain political stances, it's best for both sides to avoid such topics. This isn't about one side guarding against the other, but rather about avoiding unnecessary entanglements. Remember, in high-level power struggles, even the slightest mistake can lead to disastrous consequences. For the sake of your family, it's best to be cautious.

Jiang Hui was even more puzzled after hearing this: "Then why did he remind us at the end?" Although the other party did not say it explicitly, even with their limited social experience, they could roughly understand that this newly released material was actually controlled by the upper echelons of the military and government, and that they would need to use this material to carry out some things or achieve some purpose later.

It's important to understand that official involvement is definitely not just about making money or simple profits; there must be a bigger plan, which is why prices are "unstable."

On the surface, Vitaly's words were a reminder to them not to get involved in the potential uproar caused by the emergence of the new material. In reality, he was telling them that the situation was complex and they should think carefully before jumping in. Jiang Hui, a small-time investor, didn't care; she could simply hold off on buying for now, especially since the material was too advanced for her to use immediately. But Clarence was different. Since Vitaly had specifically mentioned this to him, it couldn't have been a slip of the tongue, and Vitaly had no reason to bring up something he already knew.

So, assuming the Clarence family was unaware of this, and Vitaly informed them, wouldn't that contradict their respective positions and be inconsistent with his words and actions of keeping his distance from Clarence?

Unexpectedly, Clarence shook his head: "Mr. Vitaly must have said that specifically to me." Or rather, it was said by his family.

Jiang Hui's thinking made sense. What difference would it make whether she, as an individual player, got involved or not? Even if she lost her mind and actually got involved, with her limited financial resources, that was about it.

But the Clarence family is different. They are a well-known aristocratic family in the capital sector. Although their population has dwindled in recent generations, and some changes have led to a slight deviation in the development of the family from the past, they are still a traditional old aristocratic family in terms of their fundamentals and heritage.

These aristocratic families control a large amount of resources and often participate in the control of some pillar industries. The Clarence family has a high-tech industry, and they will definitely make a move when this new energy material is born.

Therefore, Vitaly Hillman's words were specifically addressed to Clarence, and were also a message relayed to his family through Clarence.

Although Mr. Clarence's status meant he wasn't entirely without access to information, he'd heard that the man was quite busy lately and might not have the time or inclination to deal with such trivial matters. Since Jiang Hui had inquired about the remaining materials, Vitaly figured he could use this opportunity to do the Clarence family a favor; whether they listened or not was none of his concern.

Clarence didn't go into great detail, but Jiang Hui roughly understood—it was about family interests and such. Seeing that he probably had his own plans, Jiang Hui didn't ask any further questions.

"I never expected that the release of a new material would involve so many things. The situation is really chaotic right now. I spoke with Uncle Tang yesterday, and he also reminded me that the situation in interstellar space is not very peaceful recently, and that I must be careful and vigilant when I am active in the central star region," Jiang Hui said with a sigh.

"This is just a small part of it." Where has it even begun? As if remembering something, Clarence's gaze deepened. Born into a noble family, Clarence's feelings were far more profound than Jiang Hui's. It wasn't just a matter of instability; looking across the entire interstellar space and observing the movements of various forces, one truly understood what chaos meant, and what a truly turbulent time it was.

Not to mention the political world, which is usually calm and unmoved, it is rare to see frequent changes in leadership, and the military is also unusually quiet.

The attack on the western defense line, in particular, has triggered a host of events, affecting both the military and the political sphere to varying degrees. Even the Clarence family, a well-established and deeply rooted old aristocratic family, has sensed a turbulent undercurrent, demonstrating just how powerful this invisible storm is.

It's likely that their other two friends, who haven't shown up yet, are also involved to some extent.
