This banquet was far from what Jiuyue had imagined. Until they left the venue and removed the ring that the Chamber of Commerce used to temporarily suppress their energy, there was not a single element of combat.
Not only that, but Garoya personally escorted them to the elevator and even sent them a simplified version of the plan before they left.
She mentioned more than once that the goal of the Chamber of Commerce was always mutual cooperation and win-win.
Jiuyue asked Garoya some sharp questions, such as, how she viewed the claims that Actus's Cosmic Pirate Group was fostered by the Chamber of Commerce.
Garoya did not deny it outright but instead mentioned that Actus indeed had military trade dealings with the Chamber of Commerce, but invading Mechanical Star and attacking Gear Hotel were decisions made by Actus himself, driven mad by his obsession with the great treasure.
The Chamber of Commerce will send all of the pirates to Prison Planet to face their deserved trial.
