2499, Large Cleaning (Medium)

"But I have to say, you're right. You're indeed nothing... because you're not from the Tagg family." Silas Tagg suddenly changed his tone and sneered.

Felix Tagg's expression became gloomy and he didn't speak.

But Silas Tagg still didn't plan to let him go, and then said: "You should understand that the reason Adelaide Tagg fell in love with you was not because of your talent. It was just because of her handsome appearance, and she thought you had a good personality and was very obedient, so she chose you. But... you are still just an outsider."

He glanced at Felix and was satisfied to see his expression getting ugly.

"So, you are just a vase after all, a tool used by Adelaide to vent your desires and reproduce offspring. What value do you have to the family? When you get old and your handsome appearance no longer exists, why do you continue to stay in the Tagg family? You have been working hard to maintain your figure. Isn't it because of this?" Silas sneered and leaned over, "Adelaide is different. She can find a younger and more handsome person at any time..."

"Enough!!" Felix slammed the table and stood up, roaring, "I don't care what you want to say, now, get out of here!"

"What I want to say is that we will give you a chance, a chance to truly prove yourself with your own abilities, and then use your abilities to enter the core level of the family and truly become a member of our family." Silas Tagg directly ignored Felix's wrath and said lightly.

"I have nothing to prove!" Felix said loudly.

"You really have nothing to prove, because Adelaide doesn't need you to prove it at all, and she won't give you any chance to prove it. You just need to play your role forever - a handsome vase. You will play this role until you...no longer be handsome." Silas Tagg said.

"Enough! I'm not here to listen to you! Get out of here!" Felix said sternly.

"Let me get out? Are you qualified to do this? Handsome Mr. Vase." Silas sneered. He took out a mini memory and projected a document and placed it in front of Felix.

"What is this?" Felix asked with a gloomy face.

"This is the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor to our Tag family - to build the Death Star." Silas Tag said lightly: "But Adelaide decided to reject His Majesty the Emperor's order, and she planned to resist the Empire."

He covered himself with a big hat and saw Felix's body trembling slightly.

This guy is indeed because of his inferiority complex, so he will shake any pressure from the powerful.

"I know the Death Star project, which is not something that our company can accomplish. It may cause our finances to collapse." Felix didn't know anything.

"You only need to understand one thing. This is the will of His Majesty the Emperor. You know what the consequences will be if you achieve this goal and disobey this order." Silas Tagg said: "So, choose. Should you take on the duties of the Ministry of Finance and assist His Majesty in completing this super weapon? Or will you disobey the order and become a traitor to the empire?"

"You are making me betray Adelaide," Felix said gritting his teeth.

"Is this betrayal? You are just taking on this duty that she dare not take on her behalf." Silas was tempted by, "As long as you succeed, you will be a full member of our Tag family. The company's finance department will be in charge of you! What about Adelaide? She will become your vassal, even your slave, and from then on she only needs to do her job as a woman at home. From then on, she will not even dare to speak loudly to you...think about it..."

Felix's face was gloomy and he sat down slowly, and he was actually thinking seriously!

...

Allman Tagg did not immediately convene a high-level summit for the Tagg family, but it was held three days later.

At the summit, Allman Tagg, the current patriarch of the family, came up with his own plan - led by Tagg Company to complete the remaining project of Death Star in the name of the cutting-edge technology alliance.

He emphasized that this was a task assigned by the imperial emperor Palpatine himself. If this task is not completed, the Tag Company and the Tag family will inevitably be retaliated by His Majesty the Emperor. If the construction of the Death Star can be completed, it will bring huge political benefits to the family and even allow the family forces to enter the army.

Therefore, although in the short term, Tagg will suffer huge financial pressure, the effort is completely worth it. As long as the goal can be achieved, the political and military aspects will soon be brought back all the shortfall profits, even ten or even hundreds of times!

But without surprise, except for the elders who had previously participated in the murder of the former patriarch Sanya Tag, most of the senior executives of other companies and families disagreed with this plan.

The reason is simple. This plan is too risky because it will invest a lot of money in the family, but it will not be able to see the effect immediately. Once something happens, it is likely that the entire family will fall into an abyss that will never be restored.

"Palpatine has no right to ask us to do this. If the Galaxy Empire wants us to build the Death Star, then please ask the Imperial Engineering Department and the Ministry of Commerce to initiate a bidding to us through the formal procurement process." The senior official in charge of the company's market said coldly.

"It is precisely because the Empire is not able to initiate an open tender for such a project that we can get this opportunity," said Allman Tagg.

"If there is no ability, does the Empire have no money?" Adelaide's cold voice sounded. In the venue, she sat in the upper row. "If the Empire has no money to build the Death Star, then why should we bear it?"

"I think this is feasible," said one of the family elders.

"Absolutely impossible! Our company has a large number of industries, which require a large amount of working capital and various resources. If all resources are invested in the construction of Death Star, most of our company's industries will be forced to be shut down! This is a fatal blow to us!"

The elders began to argue fiercely.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to reach a consensus, but Allman Tagg just sneered and looked at all, as if everything was in a daze.

Seeing his expression, Minister of Finance Adelaide Tagg frowned and looked around. Sure enough, although the scene was very quarrel, the most critical departments of the company and the most presbyterian members of the Presbyterian Church did not speak!
