The rivers here are intertwined, and it has been a place where merchants gathered since ancient times. Money, grain, and taxes from all over the country came ashore here and then were transferred into the city.
Although hundreds of years have passed, the rivers here are still clear and the river banks are still prosperous.
Water is conducive to all things. Although today's rivers are more used for cruise ships and entertainment, the relationship between human beings and water has never been lost. A large number of office buildings and residences are gathered on both sides of the river.
One area is home to the regional headquarters of many multinational companies around the world.
Although Heplin is not a top-ranked global company, because it focuses on the perfection and innovation of a single product, it has become an industry leader, monopolizing almost 80% of the global supply, and the services in the south of the city are
is its regional headquarters in the East.
This is a garden-style single-family office area, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of square meters, with dozens of large and small single-family buildings distributed, with the largest area tens of thousands of square meters and the small ones only a few thousand square meters.
The Heplin Company is located in a small single-family building with an area of several thousand square meters. It has three floors above ground and one underground floor, with each floor covering more than a thousand square meters.
In a single-family office building of this size, there are only less than a hundred employees, scattered on the first and second floors. On the basement floor, there are independent canteens, private rooms, playrooms, tea rooms, etc. for employees to eat, drink and relax.
The third floor is the office area for several expatriate executives from the headquarters. No employee is allowed to enter the third floor without permission.
At this time, in the largest office on the third floor, two people were talking with frowns on their faces.
One of them was about thirty years old, average-looking, and looking a little depressed at this time. He turned out to be the young man who kidnapped Tai Shukun.
The other man was tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, and even his eyelashes were golden. He was in his fifties, sitting behind the executive desk, frowning and looking at the young man.
"Melisi, as a descendant of Eastern people, you should know a lot about Eastern superpowers, and you should also know your opponent very well, right? Didn't you fully study the opponent's information before taking action? Find out the opponent's details?
Do you know how much damage the failure of this mission will cause to the organization? The entire Western world is waiting for your victory!"
This person's name is Brugent, and he is the chief representative of Heplin Company's Eastern representative office. His true identity is the person in charge of a supernatural organization in the Eastern region.
"You make it easy, why don't you lead the team yourself? As the person in charge of the project, why don't you give me the most detailed information? I lost two of my men! I even lost my magic weapon! You must compensate me!"
Young Merisi was very unhappy. Old guy, you want to blame everything when something goes wrong? No way! You are the commander-in-chief of the operation. All sources of information are provided by you. I am only responsible for the execution! What's more, I have already followed the original plan.
, successfully kidnapped that Taishu Kun. If it weren’t for the fact that these idiots had wrong information, how could I have lost my army?
Thinking of the woman's tragic death, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and thinking of the woman's enchantment, he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
As his subordinate and outlet, that woman was loyal to him and cooperated with him tacitly. It would be difficult to find such a superpower!
To say that what happened this time was evil, the headquarters decided to seize Tai Shukun quietly and not cause too much alarm, so there were only three people in the operation, and they kept driving nearby to wait.
Everything went smoothly, and half of the mission was quickly accomplished. However, the headquarters still ignored Tai Shukun's strength. According to the original analysis, Tai Shukun would definitely be trapped by his own magic weapon.
But, how did that kid master such a powerful technique? Even the undercover didn't know this news.
"Melisi, you have to remember that I, Brugent, am the boss of the Eastern region! I didn't punish you because you failed in your mission. It was because of your contribution over the years. There is an old saying among you.
What do you mean? Oh, yes, don’t push yourself too far, find a way to make up for it quickly!”
Brugent crossed his fingers and kept playing with his fingers and wrists.
"Make up for it? How to make up for it? Is it possible for me to rush into their base alone to arrest people? Anyway, you are responsible for the blame, I don't care!"
Merisi shrugged, leaned back, and sat comfortably on the sofa.
"It's not good to be petty! Please tell me more about the power of his secret technique."
Brugent didn't want to get into trouble with Merisi. After all, Merisi was his most proud subordinate, and he had to rely on him for many things. No matter how brilliant he was, his cultivation was much worse than Merisi's, and he had not advanced yet.
Demi god.
"power……"
When Brugent mentioned this matter, Merisi could not help but frown even more tightly, and the anger in his heart became even more uncontrollable.
"You have the nerve to mention it? If the news from the headquarters is more accurate, that's it! Do you know how difficult it is to recruit and train two local superpowers?"
Merisi gritted his teeth.
"Melisi, don't let hatred destroy your reason. We are sitting here analyzing and planning just to avenge them! For the future of our organization! Their sacrifices will not be in vain, I promise you!"
"You promise? Forget it, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, and you can't make any decisions..."
Merisi looked at Brütgen, feeling a little discouraged for a moment.
"That's a kind of energy I've never seen before! I believe that if it explodes in full, its power will definitely be no worse than that of the director!"
"What? What did you say? A demigod, whose secret skills are as powerful as a god? Merisi, are you scared to death? What's left in your head?"
Brügent's face darkened. He had laid the groundwork and made it clear that he would no longer blame him, but this bastard was still making excuses. What was even more infuriating was that he was finding such unreliable reasons!
Are all Orientals so cunning? Are they all so selfish? Are they all so irresponsible?
"Hmph! Brugent, we Easterners have been hard-working and kind-hearted since ancient times. We never take the initiative to harm others. We bear the word forbearance because we have good intentions, but we are always ready with a sword! After I am an immigrant, I naturally want to be loyal.
My own country, but I am also an Oriental and will not tolerate anyone insulting my ethnic group!"
"Oh! Merisi, your high-sounding words are of no use! Please describe the power in detail! Orientals often say that facts speak louder than words. Please show your facts."
A cold light flashed in Merisi's eyes, but he still carefully described the world-destroying power he had observed, and finally said:
"I can guarantee that the power of this secret skill is only occasionally revealed, and it is far from being fully utilized. To be more precise, it should be that he has not truly mastered it yet! I guess that he will not be able to truly master it until he reaches the god level.
Do the exercises!"
Brugent did not speak, but pursed his lips and frowned. His green eyes were filled with thoughts and uneasiness. He believed in Merisi's judgment.
"No wonder Jiuyi Que can become the number one in the East! Taishu Kun is already so powerful! If it were their entire Kongtian Bureau, I'm afraid there are more hidden masters who are unknown..."
"What are you going to do?"
"We definitely can't do it alone! We must unite with other organizations to deal with Jiuyi Que! Jiuyi Que's wings are getting harder and harder, and they can't be shaken if this continues. We must fight to the death to create a living space for ourselves!
"
Brugent gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, dialed a number, and began to wait for the other party to answer.
"Hey, my dear Brugent, why did you have time to call me?"
"Hi, Randolph, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you free tonight? Let's meet at our old place. It's something important. Let's chat while we eat."
"Oh? At night? No, Brugent, the lady has a date tonight, I'm sorry."
Randolph smiled a little obscenely.
"There is something very important, and I can't do it without you!"
Brügent's voice deepened.
"Is that so? How about we talk on the phone?"
"No, no, it's better to discuss it in person."
"Okay then, let's meet and chat tonight."
Randolph seemed to understand Brugent's intention and agreed.
Brügent breathed a sigh of relief and dialed another number. After the appointment, he dialed another number. In this way, he made five calls.
"Okay, Merisi, you and I will come together tonight. We must discuss a countermeasure with them today!"
"You want to join forces with them? These bastards are not economical. If we cooperate with them, won't we have to suffer in vain in the end?"
"Suffering some immediate losses is nothing. As long as we defeat the Easterners, the rest will be divided on our Western plates. Who has more and who has less? With our status, what else do we have to worry about?"
"Don't be so optimistic. Even though you are of the same race, your parents have to take a back seat to your own interests!"
"Melisi, you have to understand the truth. As long as the things are in the hands of the Easterners, we will never be safe, and we will never get a trace of it! But as long as the things come to us in the West, we can get some of them even if they are more or less. This is the essence.
Difference! Do you understand?"
"You are the boss and you have the final say. I'm just reminding you."
Merisi shrugged, still lying in a comfortable posture.
Through the light and shadow, the early spring sunset gained a bit of vitality, illuminating the room with an orange-red color. Merisi's irritable heart gradually calmed down. He felt a touch of warmth, a long-lost warmth. He didn't know where this warmth came from.
Is it the sun, or is it my heart, or is it the hope for the future...
Not far from Heplin's independent house, across the river, there is an antique building called Chengnan No. 5. The building covers an area of several thousand square meters and is surrounded by more than a dozen large and small courtyards. At the front entrance is a three-story building.
It is a 2-story antique complex with sauna, dining, entertainment and accommodation facilities.
Between the courtyards, courtyards, small bridges, and flowing water, they are like private mansions.
In one of the courtyards, Brugent and Merisi were greeting the guests. When the door opened, another figure entered the courtyard.
"Hey! Lakenfei, you're finally here, everyone is waiting for you!"
Brügent shook hands with the visitor.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late and kept you waiting for a long time."
The person was in his forties, with thick black hair, a tall and strong build, arms as thick as an ordinary person's calves, bright copper bell-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and a bit thin lips.
The others also followed him out. They didn't dare to complain when they heard Lakenfei's apology, and they all talked to him very affectionately.
Everyone took their seats, served the food, and kicked the waiter out of the courtyard. Only the seven of them were left sitting around a round table and getting down to business.
