Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate
Chapter 398: Swearing Contest (Please Subscribe)
The next afternoon, Wang Tianwu sat in the café where he had signed the contract selling himself just two days before, sipping tea.
Wang Tianwu actually didn't fancy coffee, but back then, he had no choice because of the contract signing.
Fortunately, the black tea at this Chinese-style café was quite good.
Gazing through the steam, he watched the video projection TV in front of him, feeling as though worlds apart from yesterday.
It was broadcasting a political commentary show.
"Let's take a look at some related news. Just this morning, the Security Bureau's Business Crime Investigation Unit deployed massively, moving into one hundred and twenty-seven charity, private, and election funds, freezing over a thousand accounts under their control in preparation for the scrutiny of their transactions," the program aired.
"Yesterday, Jin's Bank issued a statement saying that there were illegal financial dealings with these funds, but they were coerced by Ling Huan and the Divine Illumination Association."
"Jin's Bank, a subsidiary of Jin Group with a capital of 1.3 trillion federal coins, is a medium-sized bank. It is known that in recent years, the bank's financial dealings with the Divine Illumination Association alone amounted to over 200 billion federal coins, involving charges such as money laundering, hiding drug crimes, and covering up terrorist activities."
"Former Congressman Wang Song updated his personal information, stating that the last election was unfairly manipulated on a large scale by Ling Huan's Illusion Technique. Because of this, a large number of congressmen linked to Ling Huan entered Congress. The government should consider holding an early election," the TV reported.
"Yesterday, a reporter interviewed the First General of the Security Bureau, inquiring about the election fraud incident. The First General admitted that the Security Bureau did indeed possess evidence of interference by the Divine Illumination Association in the election results."
"That's it for related news. As everyone can see, after Ling Huan's death, his influence touched many aspects of Ninth Base City, and not only our city but also other Base Cities are in chaos," the broadcaster continued.
"Indeed, I'm aware that it's not just the Business Crime Investigation Unit of the Security Bureau, but government anti-corruption and counter-intelligence departments have all become operational. Nearly all key positions are undergoing psychological assessments, and multiple congressmen have been taken away by the Security Bureau."
"It's like kicking a man when he's down. Previously, the government hesitated to act against the terrorist Ling Huan for fear of retaliation against society and the government. Now, that fear is gone," chimed in another voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm more curious about who this Thunder Admiral is, the one who set the trap and eliminated Ling Huan?"
As Wang Tianwu watched this, he still found it somewhat unbelievable — 'Ling Huan' was actually dead...
Although not completely gone, he believed that neither the Security Bureau nor himself would let Ling Huan have a chance to come back to life.
Wang Tianwu's thoughts turned to Lin Rui, whom he had seen yesterday in the illusion.
He still refused to believe that the person who helped him defeat 'Ling Huan' was his own "little boss".
But who else could it be besides Lin Rui?
Xu Mengran had personally told him that Lin Rui could help him and was very certain that this was the only chance in the recent period to seriously injure, even kill Ling Huan.
Wang Tianwu recalled the golden-white flames he had seen in the Dream World, guessing what kind of secrets his "little boss" might be hiding.
Right at that moment, a fresh-faced, energetic man in his thirties, wearing a military jacket, sat opposite him;
"Big brother Wang!"
The man smiled and shook hands with Wang Tianwu: "Have you finished the surgical implantation? You seem to be in good shape."
Wang Tianwu looked up and down at the man across from him, his eyes filled with surprise: "You're Gong Hengdao?"
Being in the same circle, Wang Tianwu was somewhat familiar with Gong Hengdao, after all, the man had received three Dark Glory Medals and had a formidable Sniper Skill.
But hadn't there been rumors that Gong had been ambushed by Ling Huan and suffered from Armament Syndrome?
He was a man of great future prospects, yet simply because he had offended Ling Huan, his life was ruined. It was said that he hardly dared to show his true face in public, always wrapping himself up tightly.
Wang Tianwu shook hands with Gong Hengdao with a mix of astonishment and doubt, then raised his thick eyebrows slightly: "Old Gong, have you advanced to the Seventh Realm already?"
The opposite party was already an Armored Admiral, and one whose Bloodline Ability and combat rating were very strong.
With his Sniper Skill, once paired with a good rifle, even Wang Tianwu would have to show caution.
"It's quite a coincidence, actually, just yesterday."
When Gong Hengdao replied, a strange light flashed in his eyes, as he had personally witnessed 'Ling Huan's' death through his sniper scope just yesterday.
Although he couldn't join the battle and ultimately didn't lay a finger on the trigger, at that moment, his Primordial Spirit and mindset had reached their optimal state.
Gong Hengdao added Wang Tianwu as a friend, then sent several files to him through the net: "Brother Wang, let's talk business. The BOSS said that your main task from now on is to ensure his personal safety in Ninth Base City.
To avoid any misunderstandings and for better coordination, you must understand sufficiently the private forces under his command. Moreover, the BOSS is also preparing to appoint you as an advisor for the Alien Studio; hence we can share some of the company's secrets with you. Here's a brief on our 'Lin Rui Alien Studio'; have a look."
Wang Tianwu glanced over the information.
"There are quite a few combat robots in the company, with eight Type-7 models alone," he said with a slight surprise in his eyes. "The BOSS's jurisdiction actually has six 6S squads!"
That was on top of Wang Tianwu, an 8SS+, and Gong Hengdao, from the Seventh Realm.
After his promotion, there was a high probability that Gong Hengdao would be a 7SS, possibly even a 7SS+. If he picks up a sniper rifle, he must be regarded as a 7SSS.
Wasn't this level of strength a bit overkill for Lin Rui, a Martial Arts Star?
What did the BOSS, a university student, need such formidable military power for? Could he even afford it financially?
Wang Tianwu felt that his path to freedom had just brightened a little more.
This youngster was completely unrestrained with his spending—
"That's right, but these six squads can't all be used for the BOSS's security. Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company is interested in signing a security contract with us as well as a procurement contract."
Gong Hengdao explained with his hands folded: "This year's security contract should be no less than 50 billion federal coins per month, and the procurement contract will be even higher. Just next month, they plan to purchase raw materials worth over 70 billion federal coins from Sky Extreme Star. The specific contract terms are still under negotiation, but we've already prepared an expansion plan—"
"How much?"
Wang Tianwu drew in a breath of cold air and fixed his gaze on Gong Hengdao: "The security contract from Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company won't be less than 50 billion? Then, how much is the company's revenue?"
"I'm sorry, Brother Wang, your clearance only goes so far. All you need to know is that Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company indeed has such a demand and financial capability."
Gong Hengdao apologized with a smile: "We're planning to build four more 6S squads and twenty 5A and 5S squads, but this will take some time. My work focus will also shift to Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company, so the heavy responsibility for the BOSS's security will mainly depend on Brother Wang.
By the way, Brother Wang, if you know any reliable experts who are willing to join the company, feel free to recommend them. We offer very attractive terms."
Wang Tianwu nodded solemnly and continued to review the information for Lin Rui's Alien Studio.
When he came across the words 'Chief Advisor for Alien Affairs Fei Yunlai', Wang Tianwu was startled once again.
He immediately opened up a chat with Fei Yunlai.
Powerful Horse King (Wang Tianwu): Old Fei, is your BOSS Lin Rui?
So his Alien is currently in the hands of the young BOSS?
Powerful Horse King (Wang Tianwu): Old Fei, I swear on your Immortal Plate!
Fei Yunlai was not to be outdone.
Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Old Wang you dumbass! I swear on your eighteen generations of Immortals!
