The pure white machinery and the faint blue patterned light are like the workshop machinery of the association, coming from the unique and iconic symbol of the Nightless Palace.
On top of the basic performance, the arcane spells have been specialized in auxiliary functions such as amplification and control of mystical abilities.
Arcane Arms - Law Controller Armor.
Although he didn't recognize the specific model, Fangran had been following his instructor not long ago, and he still recognized the rational and highly technological appearance of the arcane weapon at a glance.
Then he instantly realized the identity of the man in front of him.
"Wait a minute, are you from the Nightless Palace?"
After blurting out the idea, I read the answer from the other person's face, and a headache came to my forehead.
I thought that after Veronica's violent seizure, it would definitely trigger the movement of the association, and they pursued her directly without any hesitation. I even thought about how to extract information after a while.
Fangran never expected that the other party would be someone from the Nightless Palace.
It's embarrassing now...
"Ha...Sorry, there may be a misunderstanding between us. I have no ill intentions towards you..."
Covering his forehead and sighing, he also knew that it was a bit pale to say this after he chased the eight streets and tied up the person without even saying a word.
Fangran directly dispelled the ability of [Shadow Card] and immediately tried to clarify the misunderstanding.
After being controlled, he suddenly regained his freedom and found that the other party had really released his restraints. However, he did not relax his vigilance and did not leave blindly to give the other party a chance to follow the clues.
The man in the trench coat just took a few steps back and stared at the man and woman in front of him warily.
He took out his mobile phone and thought about contacting Osphia to help him prove his identity, but after the call was made, it kept showing that no one answered.
Um?
When I saw this result, there was a slight flash of worry in my eyes, but I suppressed it for the time being.
Fangran looked at the man in the trench coat and directly identified himself.
"I am a member of the Huaxia Night Bureau. Your senior leaders may know me,"
"You can confirm my identity and position to him now."
Hearing this proposal, his eyes moved. No matter what, contacting his companions was the most correct thing to do. In fact, he had already sent out a signal when he found out that he was being chased.
Taking out the communication device, the man in the trench coat confirmed the situation with his superiors as Fang Ran said.
And watching his expression change from alert to slightly startled to surprised after he reported in a low voice,
Fangran saw his last solemn look and finally spoke:
"Please allow me to make the final confirmation."
Pointing the communication device at himself, a faint blue light flashed, guessing it was the function of image transmission. Fangran immediately saw a virtual interface projected out.
A handsome young man with blond hair appeared on the screen.
"As expected, it's you, Your Excellency Fangran."
The moment he saw Pedro, he also realized that the superior of the man in the trench coat was the youngest Zero Rider whom Osphia had mentioned before.
Fangran also looked at him slightly surprised:
"It's you..."
"Well, due to some emergencies, I urgently took over the affairs in New York after taking care of Osphia yesterday,"
After briefly explaining his situation, Pedro looked at Fangran and asked:
"Your Excellency Fangran, why are you here..."
"Wait, before I say this,"
But interrupted with a sigh, Fangran glanced at the old and narrow alleys between the surrounding buildings, and looked at the figure of Ling Qi in the projection:
"Let's change places first."
...
In lower Manhattan, among the high floors of a towering building,
It has a bright and expensive environment, an elegant and expensive atmosphere, and you can clearly see the downtown scenery outside the window, as well as the best viewing position of the Statue of Liberty.
All the guests, including the waiters, were dismissed, and the whole space seemed a little quiet and empty.
This luxury restaurant, which is also well-known throughout New York, is booked out today.
"It turned out to be to solve the problem of stock price plummeting out of thin air..."
In a quiet and empty environment on the whole floor, after briefly explaining the reason why he came to New York, listening to Pedro's clear voice on the projection interface,
Fangran saw him frowning slightly in thought and said:
"Although I have heard about that business empire, I am not responsible for this aspect. I didn't expect the situation to be so serious."
It's not your responsibility...?
I care a little about who he says is responsible, but first I still care about the more important key.
"There's something I want to confirm in advance,"
He glanced at Veronica next to him, and saw that she was just like Adeline, not planning to speak at all, restraining her aura as if she was a vase girl,
After Fangran felt helpless for a second, he raised his calm eyes and looked at Pedro:
"What is the purpose of Night Palace in New York this time?"
Although there is a connection with the Queen, Sharon, the mentor and many other figures, the Nightless Palace has always been a friendly force to Fang Ran.
But under this overall situation, the prerequisite for the two sides to continue the negotiation is to clarify each other's positions.
Hearing Fangran ask this question directly, he also understood the truth and took a slight breath, as if he had made some decision.
In the projection interface, Pedro raised his gaze solemnly,
"Since those securities companies have been directly sealed, I believe you, Mr. Fangran, have also noticed that the association is secretly constructing a very large-scale ability ceremony."
Hearing him speak, the man in trench coat on the side suddenly hesitated.
"Mr. Silvis..."
"It doesn't matter, this is my judgment."
Calm down the worries of your subordinates and make sure that the young man in front of you is a trustworthy person.
Pedro looked directly at Fangran and said the purpose of the Nightless Palace:
"Our purpose in New York is to destroy this ability ceremony no matter what."
really...
When he heard Pedro say such a reply, he couldn't help but look at Veronica beside him and found that everything was as she said,
As expected, Night Palace will not sit back and watch the association's behavior.
After confirming this from Ling Qi, an idea emerged, but before Fang Ran could speak,
Pedro in the projection spoke first:
"Since you are here because of the plummeting share price of Golden Kite, then Sir Fang Ran, you must also want to cancel this ceremony now. Since both parties have the same purpose,"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He raised his serious eyes and looked straight at Fangran.
"Your Excellency Fangran, how about our cooperation?"
I was slightly startled, but I thought of this when I realized that I was chasing the wrong person. With the common enemy of association, two parties with the same goal can join forces.
And for Fang Ran, who is unable to cope with the situation alone, cooperating with the Night Palace is completely a dream.
But perhaps because of his increased negotiation experience as a CEO, he felt strange when the other party took the initiative to propose this point. Fangran asked curiously:
"Did you encounter any trouble over there?"
Even though he is still B level, as one of the Zero Riders, he knows a lot of information at this level.
Pedro knew that the seemingly young man in front of him had a special relationship with the Nightless Palace, so he did not hide the confidential information.
He glanced at Veronica and said frankly in a deep voice, trusting anyone who could stay with Fangran:
"In fact, Lord Arcane suddenly lost contact not long ago. Ms. Le Guin was blocked by the fourth pillar last night, and the other Lord has not arrived yet,"
"Right now, I am the highest-ranking person in New York."
Hearing the secrets about the movements of high-level figures from his mouth, I was surprised by the loss of 'Sharon', and flashed the cold look of A-7 in a realm where humans have not yet reached,
Fangran watched Pedro formally speak with a calm expression at this moment:
"We lack strategic combat capabilities above A level to face emergencies when powerful forces in association enter the scene."
"Is that so? I understand..."
He glanced at Veronica again and saw that she still didn't seem to be listening and didn't make any statement.
Fangran looked at Ling Qi in the projection in front of him:
"Then before this incident ends, I will cooperate with Night Palace in my personal capacity."
When he got this promise from the black-haired young man, he was inexplicably relieved. The whole situation in New York in front of him was finally not burdening him.
With this in mind, Pedro didn't waste time and directly pushed the topic towards Fangran:
"Then as the first step of cooperation, let's exchange information first,"
"Your Excellency Fangran, how much do you know about the current situation?"
I sighed when I heard this question. Until yesterday, I was still dealing with matters related to the energy field in Houston.
Fangran felt a little headache and helplessly raised his forehead:
"I just arrived in New York this morning. About two hours ago, I discovered that the association may be using brokerage channels to secretly influence retail investors around the world."
"I see, I thought you, like Mr. Arcane, had noticed something was wrong more than a month ago,"
Unexpectedly, Fangran had just entered the venue. Pedro was surprised and nodded at this:
"In that case, let us provide the information."
After hearing that Night Palace had discovered clues so early, I realized that they had arrived in New York a long time ago and might have found out a lot of information.
Fangran suddenly asked a question with anticipation:
"Have you found out the specific methods of forming the association!?"
Then the next second, he was pleasantly surprised to see Pedro nod his head affirmatively.
