Within the Federation, coverage of the hero section never ceased, and a week after the peace treaty was signed, Adams made his first public speech, "Comrades, fellow soldiers, my beloved family, I am honored to stand here as the President of the Atlantis Free Federation."

Amid the waves of cheers that rose and fell in the audience, Adams continued, "The Federation is a nation that never lacks for warriors. The war lasted eight years, during which we sacrificed many soldiers, but in the end, the Federation had the last laugh. This could not have been done without your support. It is because of all of you that this country is full of passion..."

"However, we must also thank a special person, who has made meritorious contributions to the Federation. He has infiltrated enemy lines multiple times, charged to the front lines of the battlefield, and he is our Federation's pride. Have you guessed who he is?"

"Feng Yi!"

The crowd, with all eyes on the stage, united in a resounding response.

"That's right, and now, he has arrived..."

But the crowd waited for 3 minutes and saw no one. Where is he? Of course, Feng Yi was not on the Capital Planet; this was just a ruse by the President. But everyone could forgive Feng Yi's capriciousness, for he is the most special existence.

As a result, Feng Yi naturally took the blame, and even Adams ended up laughing awkwardly in the end. He couldn't even say why Feng Yi had left. However, Adams also mentioned that there were rumors Feng Yi was the Revenge Shadow Rider, and now even he was starting to believe them. After all, apart from the Revenge Shadow Rider, who else would dare to skip such a formal event so impetuously?

Under Adams's witty and humorous speech, the cheers at the square surged higher with each wave, and the post-war peace speech was successfully concluded.

Of course, Feng Yi was still busy with the reconstruction of Mardis. He had made a promise to the soldiers, and it was also a personal wish. Feng Yi was very fond of the vast grasslands.

So far, he had spent a little over a week in Mardis. The vast construction project had only begun on its second day, as the rebuilding of Mardis needed to be approved by the Capital.

At present, even though the buildings in Mardis had barely started construction, countless homebuyers were already making reservations, having heard of the beautiful landscape, pleasant scenery, and clean air, making it an ideal vacation spot—far surpassing the smoggy old resource planets.

What is it that people are now after? It's quality of life, a comfortable place to live. Even if one were to buy a house as an investment, it would surely be a no-loss deal.

Obviously, many prime lots had already been officially reserved in advance. This was the greatest benefit Feng Yi had secured for the soldiers. Compared to ordinary people, he believed that the brothers who fought and died on the front lines had the most right to choose.

For this reason, Feng Yi had conducted a large survey, asking the soldiers where they would like to settle down. The results had nearly overwhelmed him; these cunning bunnies either wanted a sea view, opted for a countryside town in the grasslands, or aimed straight for the city center.

But he liked it, proud of the soldiers he had trained. Of course, most of these soldiers were African American, as many had come from space pirates and rebel factions. Just processing their new household registrations and identity information took two whole days.

Most of the nearby business districts were still under construction, some taking months, others taking a year, including the entertainment, living, leisure, and food shopping sectors... In short, whatever you can or can't think of, it's all available.

Even the Bounty Tribe had already opened several branches in Mardis, this new enterprise being quite impressive. No sooner had they moved in than the number of sign-ups wanting to join nearly caused a riot.

Many shuttles from outside were also flocking to Mardis. Although the planet was not large, it was almost identical to Earth with mountains, water, and a moderate climate. This was also the fundamental reason why Sophia (Nangong Qi) often came to Mardis for a vacation. Putting other factors aside, looking at the picturesque scenery, you would feel as if you were in a fairyland on earth.

The war had just ended, and even Saudi flights were ceaselessly moving closer to Mardis... all to gain residence rights in the Federation by any means necessary, creating an exceptionally bustling scene.

Kexiao was no exception. Different from Feng Yi's rugged handsomeness, it was more natural to describe him as gentle and refined. With nothing else to do, he too had come here to travel.

Looking at the skyscrapers, trade centers rising from the flat ground, he was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions... Had his initial actions been correct? Giving up this planet to the Federation so easily, especially as he remembered the feeling when he ordered the withdrawal from Mardis. From a wartime perspective, Mardis had no potential for exploitation, but if peace prevailed, its development potential was immeasurable.

After all, Mardis possessed numerous geographical advantages; Saudi above, the Federation below, Pross to the left, and the Diya Alliance to the right. With today's rapid technological advancements, it could directly become a world trade center similar to Freedom Port in Maraca—a prospect not so promising for other territories of the Federation.

It was truly a sea change. Here there was development, opportunity, and a future. If possible, he too wanted to buy an apartment in Mardis to experience the myriad facets of life.

Of course, Kexiao's main purpose for coming here was tourism and sightseeing. Why think so far ahead? For someone like him, today he might purchase a property with a view, and tomorrow he could be back on the battlefield. Who can speak with certainty about the future?
