Only if the numbers deviate greatly will the Empire intervene.
Now the question arises, how would the Empire know how many people are currently in the Phoenix?
The last time information was reported, the Phoenix only had seven members. Logically, even years later, the Phoenix wouldn't have grown much.
Under Gu Hang's command, the common experience of the Mechanical God Cult and the Star Warrior Management Agency was of no use.
The Empire had scant information on the Phoenix. As long as one kept their mouth shut, it would be hard for the Empire to know exactly how many people were in the Battle Group, how much tax was owed, and wasn't it up to oneself to decide?
Now, with the ten-year period almost up, one could simply say they had a hundred people, exchange a Gene Seed as a token, and that would be it.
And you, Matins, really want to pay based on the actual situation?
