Chapter 405 Caesar Laurent: Boss! [1st Update]

Upon hearing this, the assistant was stunned: "Teacher Ying, what did you say?"

Even Herwin, who rarely paid attention to areas outside the scientific community, looked up in surprise: "The Laurent family?"

The Laurent family is known worldwide.

As is widely known, only the Laurent family can be called the world's number one family.

The global economy is controlled by the Laurent family.

Even in the ancient martial arts world, people are wary of the Laurent family.

It's not because the Laurent family's overall martial strength truly surpasses that of ancient martial arts families with ancestors who have cultivated for two or three hundred years, but because there is someone standing behind the Laurent family.

A diviner.

Those who know the true secrets of this world and mingle in the hidden sections of the NOK forum all know that the Laurent family's ability to stand firm in Florence is inseparable from the help of a diviner.

Even though no diviner has appeared in recent years, and even though the Laurent family has declined for more than two hundred years.

However, unless absolutely necessary, no power is willing to offend the Laurent family.

Once you've offended the Laurent family, there's no way you can run away.

If you offend the fortune teller, things will get serious.

Whether in Europe or China, the diviner is recognized as the number one fortune teller.

If it weren't for the fact that fortune tellers are extremely rare these days, with fewer than twenty truly skilled fortune tellers in the entire world, then no one would object to the fact that fortune tellers hold the top position among all hunter professions.

To be able to predict and change one's fate is already a battle against the heavens.

Neither poisoners nor hypnotists are nearly as good.

However, Herwin and his companions were unaware that the fortune teller and Caesar Laurent were actually still alive.

Even some of the big names on the NOK forum are unaware of the latter.

After all, since Caesar Laurent awoke, he has basically never left Laurent Castle and has been directing operations from behind the scenes.

Herwin and his assistant only knew that the Laurent family was very powerful, powerful enough to easily suppress the four major financial groups in O continent.

“If the Laurent family were willing to invest, of course they would,” the assistant shook his head. “But how could that be possible? The Laurent family is currently focused solely on the banking industry and doesn’t pay much attention to other sectors anymore.”

This is recorded in history books.

The reason why Caesar Laurent, the most powerful leader of the Laurent family, was assassinated multiple times was because the Laurent family sponsored too many celebrities in other fields.

The music world, the scientific research world, the oil painting world... the list goes on and on.

This aroused the jealousy of many forces.

However, this record is inconclusive, and no one knows whether it is true or not.

However, since the Laurent family regained control of Florence, they have not funded any research projects.

"That's enough." Ying Zijing nodded slightly. "Professor, don't worry, the laboratory will stay open and won't go out of business."

She absolutely had to participate in the space carrier experimental project.

She nodded in acknowledgment and then left.

In the office, Herwin and his assistant stared at each other for the first time.

An inexplicable silence filled the air.

"Professor, Professor." It took the assistant a while to come to his senses, swallowing hard. "Professor Ying, Professor Ying, you know the Laurent family? What kind of person did you discover in China?"

Even the Venus Group couldn't directly persuade the Laurent family to invest; at most, the two sides could only cooperate.

What kind of people must be able to ask them so casually, "Is the Laurent family enough?"

It seemed that if they weren't satisfied with what they were saying, Ying Zijin could add even more.

Herwin was also confused: "I don't know."

He intends to cultivate talent and doesn't want to let his talent go to waste.

When he signed Ying Zijing into the lab, he didn't pay attention to her family background or social standing.

Herwin didn't think it mattered.

The assistant scratched his head: "Professor, if it's true, then it really is..."

He didn't dare to think any further.

With the Laurent family around, what would the Patch family dare to do?

Let alone the Patch family, even the four major conglomerates combined wouldn't dare.

More importantly, if the Laurent family invests in Herwin's laboratory, Herwin's safety will be guaranteed to a very high degree.

The three are globally recognized as untouchable, and the Laurent family is also very protective of its own.

"Keep a calm mind." Herwin shook his head, still optimistic. "Sometimes, the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it."

He put on his glasses and stood up: "I'll go to the control room and schedule the next few days, postponing everything else."

The assistant nodded: "Understood, Professor."

The next few days were the ISC International Finals, and Herwin was determined to go and watch them live.

There must be enough security personnel.

After leaving the lab, Ying Zijin returned to her dormitory.

She sat down at the table, turned on her computer, logged into the NOK forum, and entered the hidden section.

Then, I entered the ID "Only Love Money" in the friend request field.

Ying Zijing's finger paused for two seconds before she pressed Enter.

The profile picture is of a young man's back, and it is none other than Caesar Laurent.

She paused for a moment, then typed a message.

[The Fortune Teller]: If this is me, message me if you see this.

Ying Zijing also knew that the servant responsible for taking care of Xize Laurent would never betray him, so she was at ease.

Moreover, they were also aware of the fortune teller's relationship with the Laurent family.

Just a minute later, the profile picture of "Only Loves Money" lit up.

[Only Loves Money]: Boss? ???

[Only Loves Money]: Boss!!!

Ying Zijing lowered her gaze and replied.

[The Divine Calculator]: That's me.

After those two words were spoken, there was a long silence on the other end.

Ying Zijing stared at the "typing is in progress" message flashing incessantly at the top of the chat box.

[The Fortune Teller]: Still there?

[Only Love Money]: I just woke up, I need to calm down.

[Only Love Money]: I really want to cry.

[Only Love Money]: Boss, don't laugh at me.

Ying Zijing stopped, her expression becoming slightly complicated.

She was unwilling to see Caesar Laurent because her abilities were not complete.

With today's advanced science and technology, no one knows whether the assassination attempt will happen again after they meet.

So all she could do was send medicine to Laurent Castle to help him recover.

After all, Caesar Laurent suffered severe aftereffects from waking up, and his heart could rupture if he wasn't careful.

[Only Love Money]: Okay, boss, what's up?

[Only Loves Money]: Nishizawa awaits orders.

Ying Zijing paused, remembering those four words.

She first met Caesar Laurent when he was only fifteen years old.

At that time, his status in the Laurent family was far from that of an heir; he was merely an insignificant ordinary member.

The little boy looked at her with his deep blue eyes, his voice still a little childish but very serious, and said these four words: "Xize is on standby."

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of years have passed.

[The Divine Calculator]: Have you ever heard of a spaceship?

[Only Love Money]: Fly out of the solar system and go to other star systems? It seems that a laboratory in O continent has established this project.

[The Divine Calculator]: The universe is vast. It's even further than this.

[Only Love Money]: Boss, you've been gone for so many years, you didn't go to another universe, did you?

Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly.

I have to admit, this kid is quite clever at times.

[The Oracle]: The Patch family has withdrawn their investment, and the lab needs investment from another major family in the O continent.

There are some things she always wants to try, even if she doesn't succeed in the end.

At least there is hope.

[Loves only money]: The Patch family? Are they courting death?

[Only Love Money]: Boss, don't worry, I don't have anything else, and I'm not as tall and bold as Norton, but I have a lot of money. Investing is just a piece of cake.

[The Fortune Teller]: Okay, this month's medicine has arrived. Remember to have someone pick it up.

There was a pause of about ten seconds, then another message came through.

[Only Loves Money]: Boss, there's one more thing.

[The Divine Fortune Teller]: ?

[Only Love Money]: Don't tell anyone that I cried. I haven't found a wife yet, it would damage my image.

[Only Love Money]: If Norton knew, he would definitely laugh at me.

[The Divine Fortune Teller]: ...

This kid's acting up again, his teenage angst is acting up once more.

She probably can't cure this disease.

**

At this time.

Emerald green.

The heart of Laurent Castle.

A warm breeze was blowing, and birds were chirping.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Everything seemed quiet and peaceful.

On the large white bed, the blond-haired young man turned over and tossed the tablet computer aside.

His handsome face remained pale, almost bloodless.

"Go, transfer 100 billion from the bank," Xize said, instructing the servant beside him, "Set up a research fund project and invest in this experiment first."

He knew his boss was interested in many things.

He genuinely admired her ability to learn so much.

He's different; he only loves money.

Job asked in surprise, "Master, are you talking about scientific research?"

Xize is quite playful and prefers romantic pursuits.

Unlike other leaders of the Laurent family, he funded very few scientists.

“Yes, it’s scientific research.” Xize said calmly. “In addition, I also need you to announce to the entire O continent that the Patch family must know.”

The Laurent and Patch families were sworn enemies, and it was only after the turn of the 21st century that they gradually reconciled.

After waking up, Caesar wanted more peace and quiet, so he didn't argue with the Patch family too much.

After all, the Patch family members who assassinated him back then are already buried underground.

This is also because they were dealt a blow by the Laurent family for too long. The Pazzi family has long since changed careers and is no longer involved in the banking industry.
