The phoenix fell silent.

Despite her lingering doubts about Fengzi's claims, Lin Dong's strength and invincibility had been deeply ingrained in her mind.

The collapse of mental defenses is extremely terrifying.

Moreover, she was facing Lin Dong, who possessed top-notch hypnosis skills.

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say, and you know what you needed to know."

"Now you have only two choices: submit to me, or die."

Lin Dong's voice was flat and indifferent, as if he were discussing the ownership of an ordinary object.

The phoenix's upper body trembled even more violently.

She wasn't just afraid; she was filled with despair and terror.

Fear is often just a superficial emotion; only terror is the despair and helplessness etched deep into the soul.

She knew that once she fell into Lin Dong's hands, no one in the world could save her.

Even the once all-powerful peacock could not do it.

In fact, she was not afraid of death. For someone in her position, death might be another kind of relief.

But ever since she met Lin Dong, Phoenix's spiritual life has been unknowingly filled with a void.

She was eager to know just how powerful Lin Dong really was, and whether he was as monstrous as the legends described.

If this man is truly as powerful as the rumors suggest, wouldn't following him be like following a legend?

Although the Liangyou assassin organization was powerful and once held sway over Asia, Phoenix, who knew the inside story, knew that Liangyou had reached its peak.

The founder, Peacock, was very wealthy and capable, but his businessman nature made it difficult for him to take his good friends to a higher level.

Even more tragically, Liangyou actually offended Lin Dong, the underworld's killing machine...

"I don't like to force things, Phoenix. You have one minute to think about it."

Lin Dong said calmly.

He walked to the wooden chair in front of the phoenix, sat down, and leisurely crossed his legs.

In the small room, no one spoke anymore.

The clock hands ticked away.

Feng Zi shook his head inwardly:

Do you even need to hesitate?

On one side is a glorious life, on the other is a meaningless death, and eternal damnation into darkness.

Why bother with that so-called loyalty and righteousness that's ingrained in your bones?

"Time's up!"

"I...I surrender."

After saying this, Phoenix felt completely exhausted, and two lines of tears silently slid down her cheeks.

"very good."

Lin Dong smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.

He slowly rose and reached out to pat Phoenix's slender shoulder:

"You will be glad you made the right choice today, because you will soon witness the arrival of a great era."

After saying that, Lin Dong turned and walked out of the room.

"Fengzi, take care of the situation here, and return to northern Myanmar as soon as you're done."

"From today onwards, Dark Dragon will be under the full authority of Phoenix."

"Yes!" Fengzi straightened his back as usual.

"Also, it's time to launch the [Thousand Islands Project]."

"clear!"

A surge of passion and patriotism welled up in Fengzi's chest.

......

【bite!】

[Identified key figure associated with the target: Phoenix, real name Ni Xiaofeng, female, 35 years old, loyalty 87%, loyalty can be increased to 100%.]

Should we promote him/her?

"promote."

Lin Dong muttered a sentence to himself and slowly walked out of the small room.

In the blink of an eye, his figure disappeared into the dimly lit warehouse...

..............................................

Ten minutes later, Lin Dong appeared at the foot of Xiaomashan Mountain, more than 30 kilometers away.

His figure suddenly appeared beneath a renovated connected building.

Looking up at the newly renovated building, Lin Dong smiled knowingly.

The Skynet Hacker Building has officially begun operation.

Few people know that this unassuming connected building has attracted over a hundred of the world's top hackers.

With the support of Lin Dong, a veritable hidden tycoon, even the most top-tier hardware and advanced equipment could be obtained quickly.

Lin Dong believed that it was best for Skynet to remain dormant.

If it were to happen, it would be an earth-shattering event.

On the surface, the phoenix's submission is just a trivial matter.

But Lin Dong knew in his heart that with this woman's addition, the Dark Dragon would enter a period of rapid development.

Skynet lies in wait, Dark Dragon accelerates.

The "Thousand Islands Project," which has been in the works for more than three months, is now ready to be officially launched.

......

"Uncle, what brings you here too?"

On the 12th floor of Skynet, Chen Jiajun, who was leading a group of hackers in a tense work session, was pleasantly surprised to see Lin Dong.

This handsome uncle is not only rich and generous, but also very mysterious.

His every appearance and disappearance is puzzling.

Such a large, living person seems to be able to burrow underground or become invisible, appearing and disappearing as if nothing is wrong.

The more mysterious Lin Dong is, the stronger his abilities become.

For Chen Jiajun, who has a youthful spirit, this will definitely be even more curious and exciting.

What could be cooler on this planet than following a mysterious and powerful figure?

"Jiajun, you've worked hard. Is everything I arranged ready?"

Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point about work.

"Everything is ready. In ten days, we have gathered 116 top hackers. The equipment has been assembled and 90% of the debugging has been completed."
