Arc was in his office it's been 3 days since they had attacked Chained Souls, Shari City has been cleansed by Chained Souls influence, as well as those who supported it.
Unfortunately, they failed to capture the head of Chained Souls Big Budda, and during the operations, more than 100 Shadow Unit is heavily injured and has 1 fatality those injuries all happen in the Chained Souls main HQ raid.
It's been 3 days but no Shadow Unit wants to go home until they captured the Head of Chained Souls.
Arc gave them 7 days to capture Big Budda and the ceremony for Bell will be held in 10 days.
It's been 3 days since then and according to Eve Big Budda flee to the wilderness, the problem is the wilderness surrounding Shaki City is Vast more than 50 million square kilometers. But the Shadow Unit is determined to capture him so for the past 3 days almost all Shadow Unit in Shari City is hunting Big Budda that includes Jem And Ruby, only a select few are staying in Shari City to Clean up the mess and take over the operations of Chained Souls. And Yuri is the one leading the cleanup and take over operations.
Today he was meeting the representative of UG when they found out that over ten Alien races show interest in visiting Earth because of Grand Trading Corporation.
They were stunned. Because since they can remember all interest about space is being handled by HFA so if other race from space wants to trade with human HFA will handle the negotiations but 2 days ago they received an application from over ten different race from space expressing their interest in visiting earth to meet with Grand Trading Corporation.
At first, they thought it was a joke played by their co-worker but when the president of UG calls about the said applications the whole office of foreign affairs exploded in excitement.
So now Arc is waiting for the representative UG the foreign secretary Elisabeth Oswald, she was the one tasked with welcoming and guiding the Alien races that will be visiting Earth.
In truth because of HFA strict control of space elevators and their control about news about space many humans on earth don't know anything about space. They know a few details like the Liberty and Solar space station, and the moon base. But that's the extent of their knowledge any details about those things are said to be a secret so people on Earth remain ignorant about the true conditions in space.
of course, once in a while some news and gossips about space would reach Earth but many of them are fake or very outdated.
Very few people on Earth are privy to the true conditions of space, even Arc only started to know things about space from Eve.
According to UG, they want to make public the Alien visit on earth. Of course, this is not the first time an alien race from space is visiting earth but all of those visits are controlled by HFA, and no government on earth is allowed to interfere.
Because according to HFA alien race is part of space so it's not under the non-interference law as they will not interfere with earth affairs they were only visiting so Earth representative has no say in the matters.
But today is different the alien races are not dealing will HFA but with Grand Trading Corporation.
Which is located on earth. Of course, HFA wants to mediate the meeting but the alien race said they are not dealing with HFA but with Grand Trading Corporation.
So they went directly to earth to apply for a visit. And this time HFA has no say in the matters so even if they are against the Alien race visitation on earth being made public, this is earth affairs, and they can not interfere with it.
Elizabeth was excited and nervous about meeting the legendary head of Grand Trading Corporation. For no corporations on earth have managed to tame the Superpower on space like Grand Trading has managed to do.
She didn't know how many times she read the Intel about the Head of Grand Trading Corporation. And no matter how many times she read it she couldn't believe that a 20 something-year-old have managed to create a legendary Corporation like Grand Trading. And like others before her, she didn't believe that Arc was acting alone and that there's no power backing him up.
Arc was already waiting for Elizabeth Oswald in his office. He didn't meet her in the conference room like others as he didn't think this is a big deal.
"Good morning miss Oswald, I'm Arc the owner of Grand trading. And this is Dianna my CEO I'm sure you already know her and this is Tiffa, my secretary. Please sit." Said Arc as he introduces Dianna and Tiffa who are standing beside him.
"Good morning Mr. Grand I'm Elizabeth Oswald the UG secretary of foreign affairs. Sorry to bother you this early in the morning."
"Let not be too formal here MS. Elizabeth, call me Arc please sit down, I was surprised that UG pays attention to this kind of thing." Said Arc.
Elizabeth Oswald is a middle-aged woman she looks strict at first sight especially with rectangular glasses but her smile gives away her easy-going personality, she's been a Secretary of foreign affairs for over 20 years, and has served over 3 presidents so far.
She looks around the office and notices how simple it is besides some simple things only the desk and a few chairs are in it, the whole office has 360 views of Radial City, she nodded in acknowledgment she also likes the simple set up of the office.
"You have a good office here MR. Grand. I like the simple setup and the views are fantastic."
"Haha thank you, Ms. Elizabeth, but please call me Arc I hate formal conversations," Arc said as he shakes the hand of Elizabeth.
"Sure, looks like we can get along just fine," she also shakes Arc's hand with a smile and sits in front of Arc Desk.
