Since the Europa incident, there haven't been any large-scale corporate conflicts for five consecutive days. Although the streets are still as noisy as ever with the clanging and clattering, the cosmos is so unnervingly quiet.
Obviously, with SEC preparing for Jupiter exploration and the internal strife within the Europa Council, all companies are temporarily retracting their fangs, seizing the time to reorganize their fleets, replenish ammunition and supplies, and prepare for a bigger decisive battle.
Even Li Pan, who is always stirring up trouble, has temporarily gone into hibernation.
During the day, he clocks in at work, attends various meetings with the company, signs documents, and deals with all sorts of trivial matters regarding the reorganization and expansion of the company's fleet. At the same time, he takes advantage of his busy schedule to browse the Celestial Mall and spend his three-hundred-billion budget on purchases.
