Chapter 309 Chapter 309: Fools
"Next time, there\'s no need to translate." The more Renji listened, the stranger it felt, as if he was NTR\'ing Zero.
Especially with 86 also joining in the cheer.
[Inject nyan! Switch side nyan! *The impassioned 86 couldn\'t help but mimic Ashe\'s speaking style to cheer for our master*]
[Commander, I have prepared thirty-seven plans to retrieve our consciousness chips from Kael Technology. I recommend stealth and hacking as the top methods. Would you like me to explain them to you right now?]
Renji glanced at the complex, densely packed plan presented by the serial killer, including how to bribe the company\'s executives, hack into Kael Technology\'s defense systems, disable the company\'s security robots, and crack secret gates.
Before conquering the Evil Dragon\'s dream, Renji might have considered it.
But now.
With a flick of his wrist, three special brands, like flames burning, appeared in his palm.
This was the trophy after conquering the Evil Dragon\'s dream, the Evil Dragon brand.
Like the Witch brand, besides summoning Nova from the dream in reality, using the Evil Dragon brand in reality also grants a one-time summoning right to a "Super Mech Frame" similar to the "Bright Leftover Woman."
Only this time it is
[Junior Dragon Goddess]
If the Bright Leftover Woman is more about control and protection, then the Junior Dragon Goddess is thoroughly focused on violence and combat, just like its original Nova, putting all its points on strength and agility.
With this super mech frame, Renji didn\'t want to mess around anymore and decided to go straight through in Nova\'s style.
Since crossing over, he has always been cautious.
But today.
He decided to be "reckless" for once.
…
Kael Building, ninety-seventh floor.
Board of Directors meeting.
Several figures are seated on both sides of a long Table. Those?who can attend such a meeting are the real power holders of the company.
Originally, there should have been a spot for Director Allen here, but unfortunately, his position is currently being temporarily taken over by William.
The attack during the press conference and the loss of the Witch\'s brand was a significant blow to Kael Technology. However, the company\'s strong PR department quickly managed to shift the focus of the incident through media manipulation.
The company is now heavily promoting the mech that protected the public and dealt with numerous terrorists in the square, announcing that such mech power is the pinnacle product of their branding technology.
Despite the unfortunate disruption of the press conference, the significant unveiling of Kael Technology\'s nun mech still garnered considerable public attention and heat. This momentarily offset the setback of the press conference and even helped the company\'s stocks to warm up a bit.
Of course, all of this is temporary. Their urgent task now is to quickly find the mech\'s pilot.
Then, by any means necessary, pry from them how to activate the power of the Witch\'s brand.
"Are you sure he can\'t summon that damned mech again?"
"Director Jin, rest assured, although we do not know how to use it, we are certain about the energy level of the brand. It can only be activated once; the brand will completely deplete its energy, and it cannot be activated a second time!"
While publicly claiming to rescue, Kael Technology internally agrees to secretly capture the mech pilot, ensuring they do not fall into the hands of other companies or forces.
This requires assessing the opponent\'s strength. The head of the company\'s research department confidently assures the directors that the mech will not reappear a second time.
This left many directors feeling both regretful and relieved.
Regretful because even if they recapture the brand, it\'s useless; relieved because, if the pilot could still summon the mech, then their efforts to capture him would be in vain.
"What about the Black Fire Gang?" another director turned to ask towards the operations department.
Quickly, a head of the intelligence department stood up, reporting nervously to the company\'s executives, "The Black Fire Gang seemed to have been attacked before we arrived. By the time we got there, the scene was already full of dead bodies."
"And from the traces at the scene, it appears to be the work of Special Servant machine 001."
After the intelligence department head\'s statement, the boardroom was once again filled with whispers.
"Special Servant machine 001."
"That\'s the serial killer."
"Why would she appear there, could it be…"
"Damn it, I\'ve always suggested that we should eliminate this uncontrollable element as soon as possible."
The mech pilot was kidnapped by the Black Fire Gang, and now that the Black Fire Gang has been eradicated by the serial killer, following this clue, the mech pilot they are looking for has moved into the hands of the serial killer, and most likely... He is already dead.
After all, they are aware of the serial killer\'s strength. With the premise that the brand\'s energy is exhausted, they don\'t believe anyone could escape from the serial killer.
As the company\'s focus shifts towards the serial killer, William, who had been silent for most of the meeting, offered a contrary suggestion.
"No, I think everyone might be underestimating this pilot."
When the board turned to William with furrowed brows, he quickly produced a report on the Dream Zero.
"In just these past few days, there have been drastic changes within the Dream, with two major battle zones completely disappearing, namely the Witch and the Evil Dragon."
"What!?"
"The battle zones disappeared? How is that possible!"
"Are you saying this is also related to that mech pilot, the Sin City scholar?"
"Wait, does that mean he also got his hands on the Evil Dragon\'s brand?"
"We must capture him!"
Seeing many directors suddenly getting excited, thinking of the corresponding mech from the Evil Dragon\'s brand, they envisioned it as a tremendous fortune. Yet, they never considered the possibility that the Sin City scholar could also use that brand.
Following William\'s suggestion, what came instead was skepticism and rebuttal.
"Impossible, the further along the brands, the higher the energy level required. After system calculations, if it\'s an individual, at least a Disaster Rank Eclipse is needed to withstand that brand. Is that possible? Have you ever seen a Disaster Rank Eclipse in your lifetime?"
"It\'s also impossible from a knowledge perspective. He is supposed to be a scholar specializing in witchcraft; it\'s impossible for him to also possess knowledge of the dragons. Even Professor Einstein couldn\'t manage that!"
"Yeah, who does he think he is, a reincarnation of the Ashen Emperor?"
"Chief William, I understand your caution, but business requires boldness. If we\'re always hesitant, we\'ll just end up being overtaken by others in the market!"
"A lowly born like him, I guess that\'s as far as his vision goes."
William glanced at the last speaker, a disdainful noble son, remembering he is the eldest son of a shareholder. William had worked hard, climbing up from the grassroots to his current position, while the other could parachute in and participate in company decisions in less than a day.
At this point, William realized that the decline of Kael Technology was not due to a major decision-making error but had rotted from the root.
This might not have been apparent when the company was operating smoothly and monopolizing the market, but once it fell into crisis, it would become the accelerator on the road to downfall.
Most directors were thinking about how to turn the company around by seizing the dragon brand, blinded by the huge benefits. William didn\'t say much more but quietly left the scene.
"William, the meeting isn\'t over, where are you going!?" one of the directors noticed William leaving and immediately questioned him, precisely the earlier shareholder\'s son.
"The assistant of the Sin City scholar sent out intelligence an hour ago, saying their doctor might be there. I plan to take some people to check it out."
William humbly answered.
After hearing this, the shareholder\'s son waved him off impatiently, with even more disdain in his eyes.
After all, everyone knew that the doctor\'s assistant was just a role meant to disrupt their focus, aiming to divert their attention. If it weren\'t for her foreign nationality and the protection of the Quis Group behind her, they would have captured her long ago.
Now William had really taken the bait, intending to leave the company. If that\'s not foolishness, what is?
But he didn\'t specify or stop him.
The more crucial the period, the more one should stay with the company, so the benefits to be divided after success would be greater. With one less William to share the pie, he was naturally pleased.
