Chapter 279 Traitor
"Om~"
A portal suddenly appeared in a crowded place. Judging from the environment, this seemed to be a medium-sized laboratory. The people around did not think it was strange when they saw the portal appear. It seemed that they were already used to such scenes.
After the portal stabilized, a woman walked out from it. This person was one of the cheaters in the previous copy of No. 175 Paulson Street. After she walked out of the portal, several researchers wearing engineering armor processed her clothes and the residual energy fluctuations on her body. Then the woman left the laboratory, and the others continued with their work as if nothing had happened.
Walking out of the laboratory door and passing through a long corridor, the woman came to the elevator at the end of the corridor. After pressing the elevator button, she leaned against the wall and played with her nails to pass the time.
"Ding dong."
It didn't take long for the elevator door to open and the woman walked into the elevator. There were no floor buttons inside the elevator, only a touchpad and a fingerprint reader. Through fingerprint recognition, she pressed her palm on the touchpad, the elevator door closed, and then began to rise. After a few seconds, through the transparent walls on both sides of the elevator, she could see that the elevator seemed to be in the sea. Through the elevator shaft made of the same transparent material, she could see marine life wandering around.
The elevator took quite a while to rise, a full two minutes, after which it slowed down and soon stopped.
"Ding dong."
After walking out of the elevator, there is a large artificial cave outside. From the direction of the cave entrance, one can hear the sound of waves coming from afar. There are also many people working in the cave. Similarly, they are not surprised by the people coming up the elevator. In fact, they don't care at all.
"Home is still the best! Hmm~~~"
Walking out of the cave, standing on the edge of the cliff, breathing the salty sea breeze, the woman stretched and looked at the sea level. In the front right of her sight, there was a huge man-made island. The island was equipped with all kinds of facilities, but what was more special was that there were many energy turrets on the edges of the island in all directions. From their size, it can be guessed that their power must be not small.
Leaving the cliff, the woman walked up along the wide transport ramp next to her and came to the highest level. On the right side of the apron where the transport plane was parked, there was a row of short-range transmission devices. The woman walked straight towards them and walked to a specific transmission device. After scanning, she was instantly teleported to the huge artificial island she had just seen. At the exit of the transmission device area, a luxury car was already waiting for her.
"The sir was waiting for you, but you came back later than the scheduled time."
"It's only half an hour. The gains I got this time are worth his waiting for such a short time."
"Watch your tone."
"Are you going to waste your time here lecturing me, which I don't care about at all, or are you going to drive quickly?"
After the woman got in the car, the person sitting in the passenger seat seemed unhappy about her being late. However, the woman didn't care what he wanted to say. She reclined the seat and closed her eyes. The person in the passenger seat didn't look happy, but he could only order the driver to drive.
"Let's go back."
This artificial island is very large, and the car is not slow, but even so, it still took twenty minutes to reach the scheduled destination. In fact, using a teleportation device might be faster, and judging from the surrounding facilities, the owner of the island should not be short of this money. From this point of view, it can be seen that the owner of the island seems to have deliberately not set up a teleportation device here.
The car stopped in front of a villa, where many security personnel wearing power armor were standing. Judging from the shape of their power armor, they seemed to be about the same strength as the armed personnel of Infinite Company.
"Remember, the gentleman is meeting guests, you should first..."
The person in the passenger seat was about to say something to the woman, but she just left the car without looking back. She raised her middle fingers to the passenger seat, and before the person in the passenger seat could react, she had already walked into the villa.
"Unreasonable primitive." The man in the co-pilot seat sneered contemptuously.
"He thinks he's his master's lapdog. Tsk." The woman who entered the villa also muttered.
The woman seemed to be very familiar with the structure of the villa. She walked to the reception room in the villa with ease. After knocking on the door twice, she pushed the door open and walked in without waiting for the person inside to respond.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. My sister is impatient. Sometimes she doesn't really listen to what I say."
"fine."
Inside the house, two people were talking when a woman walked in and interrupted their conversation. The man looked like he had a leg injury. Next to where he was sitting, he was leaning on a luxurious jeweled staff. He was well-dressed, like a sophisticated businessman. Opposite the sofa where he was sitting was a woman in a dress. Apart from her beautiful looks and great figure, there seemed to be nothing special about her.
Of course, if we don’t count the two giant beasts lying beside her legs.
"Your pug doesn't look too happy about my lateness."
"Did you quarrel with Kamon again? He is a bit rigid, but he is still very loyal to the family."
"Ha! He doesn't consider me a member of the family. After all, I'm a bastard and a woman."
"Well, he is still a bit old-fashioned after all. He used to be my father's butler. But you can rest assured. Now, I have the final say in the family. No one can use your identity to ridicule you anymore."
"you..."
The woman was somewhat shocked at the news her brother revealed, and looked at him in disbelief, but her brother shook his head.
"What are you thinking about? Father has just abdicated. He and your mother are on vacation at the manor. They just called and asked when you want to go back to see them."
"Really?"
"You know I never lie to you."
"Well, although your character is terrible, this matter is true."
"How about this, in order to calm my dearest sister down, I'll have someone take Kamon out fishing, how about that?"
"Fishing? Fishing for what? Wait, that's not right! We were just arguing, I didn't mean to..."
"Shh... I said, no one can use your identity to ridicule you anymore. Everyone is the same."
"Tuk-tuk."
There was a knock on the door of the reception room, and a guy who looked like a gold medal fighter walked in.
"Let's take Kamon fishing. I heard there are a lot of fish near the island recently."
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Christina."
"Hello, Miss Christina."
After the thugs left, Christina's brother introduced his sister to his guests, who nodded politely.
"This is the representative from the rat removal company who recently helped us "research" Infinite Company. She is also from the management, Ms. Garcia."
"Hello, Ms. Garcia."
The guest of Christina's brother was Garcia, the "ordinary researcher" who was "rescued" from the rat extermination company by Han Zu at that time, and the two giant beasts lying beside her legs were Han Zu's Death Hounds at that time, but they seemed to have changed a lot now.
Garcia's state is completely different from when she was with Han Zu. It seems that this is her true nature. It seems that Garcia has the acting skills of a movie queen.
"Okay, Christina, tell me what you gained this time."
"You're really anxious. I was thinking of taking a break."
"Our guests are very busy. As educated people, we should respect them."
"Huh...Okay then, this time..."
At the same time, on the edge of the artificial island, Kamon had his limbs broken by several thugs and was pinned to the edge of the cliff.
"What are you doing! Aren't you afraid of the master..."
"Shut your stinky mouth, we only follow the master's orders. Even if it's the master, as long as the master gives the order, it won't be difficult to kill him."
"madman!"
"Alright, try not to keep him waiting for too long when the gentleman asks you to."
"Understood, boss."
The gold medal fighter who had just accepted the order from the gentleman took out a dagger from his waist, walked up to Kamon, and stabbed him several times quickly, but it was not fatal. Apart from making Kamon bleed profusely, he did not kill him immediately. After doing all this, he wiped the blood on the dagger on Kamon's clothes, and then put the dagger away.
"Throw it down."
"Yes."
"You can't do this! I'm the master's butler! I'm ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
Kamon was thrown off the cliff and fell into the sea. The impact with the water almost made Kamon faint, but again, it was not fatal.
"Wow!"
Soon, Kamon's blood spread in the sea water. In the distance, several shadows underwater were moving towards Kamon. They were several sharks attracted by the smell of blood.
Kamon, whose limbs were broken, had just recovered from fainting when he saw the shark's bloody mouth biting towards him. He didn't even have the chance to scream before he was torn into pieces.
"Walk."
After the thugs confirmed that Kamon was torn to pieces by the shark, they left the cliff as if nothing had happened.
Inside the villa, reception room.
"That's the specific usage. However, in this instance, I didn't get the chance to use enhancements. There weren't many strong enemies. It seems that Infinity Company really thought we were cheaters and used a trap instance to catch us by resetting it."
"Christina, didn't you see those special personnel?"
"No, maybe we don't have enough staff. After all, more than half of the directors on the board are funded by us. They should be able to strangle the chairman."
"Don't be discouraged. Maybe you can do a good experiment next time."
"Ms. Garcia doesn't look confident in her research!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Christina."
"Okay, sister, go and have a rest. You did a good job this time."
"Phew! Finally! I'm starving. You guys chat slowly, I won't bother you. Goodbye, Ms. Garcia."
"Goodbye, Miss Christina."
After telling the news she had received, Christina picked up her coat on the table and left the reception room.
"Ms. Christina is such a cheerful girl."
"You flatter me, Garcia. She's just spoiled by me."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two finally started talking about business.
"Okay, then Garcia, what do you want to talk to me about this time?"
"About our cooperation."
"So far, our cooperation is very pleasant. Is there anything you want to add?"
"It's like this. The rat removal company has a new manager, and you have become the new leader of the family, so what we mean is that we are ready to renegotiate the details of our cooperation."
“New era of collaboration, huh?”
“You have great foresight.”
"You're welcome. So what specific details do we need to modify?"
"I came here this time to discuss this matter with you. After all, as long as we handle it well, it will be a win-win situation, isn't it?"
"I have to say, Garcia, I still like working with smart people like you."
"You flatter me."
"boom!"
The gorgeous jeweled staff leaning against the sofa fell to the ground. It was not a high height, but it had created a deep hole in the marble floor. This jeweled staff looked ridiculously heavy. Perhaps it was not just a decoration or a tool.
"Oh, sorry."
The man stood up from the sofa. He had no leg injury at all. He bent down slightly and picked up the gem staff effortlessly.
"boom!"
The door of the reception room was violently pushed open and several bodyguards rushed in.
"gentlemen!!"
"What's the fuss? It's just that my crutch fell over."
"Excuse me sir..."
"Forget it, get out now, can't you see I'm entertaining guests!"
"Yes!"
After the bodyguards left, the man bowed to Garcia and apologized.
"Sorry Garcia."
"It's okay. I didn't realize you were into fitness."
"Haha, after sitting in the office for a long time, exercise is always necessary. Let's talk somewhere else. I hope the mess on the ground won't affect our mood for cooperation. Do you want something to drink?"
"How about champagne to congratulate us in advance on our successful cooperation?"
"Good advice, I happen to have a nice bottle of champagne."
The two men talked and smiled and left the reception room. The man was indeed well-educated. He first opened the door of the reception room for Garcia, and then followed Garcia out. The two ferocious beasts also followed. When they passed the door of the reception room, their bodies instantly shrank and became about the same size as wolfhounds.
However, the look in their eyes was very different from when they were with Han Zu. They seemed lifeless, as if they were controlled by something.
