World fragments...
Guan Nianshan was still pondering this question even after he left the meeting room.
“Hey, Nanzhu, you said we’ve all seen the fragments of this world, haven’t we?” Guan Nianshan suddenly asked as they reached the end of the corridor.
"Really?" Nan Zhu seemed to be pondering other questions, and upon hearing Guan Nianshan's words, he casually replied, "What?"
“I said, we’ve all seen the fragments of the arrogant world. Do you remember what he had in his hand when he grabbed you?” Guan Nianshan prompted.
Upon hearing Guan Nianshan's words, Nan Zhu recalled the past.
When Arrogance first met him, he did indeed have something in his hand—a very small, luminous fragment that seemed very strange at first glance.
"Do you want to destroy it?" Nan Zhu glanced at Guan Nianshan indifferently: "Arrogance and Miss have been confirmed to be at the same strength level. If you go, you will only be throwing your life away."
"Besides, the people you're currently loyal to are already arrogant, so saying these things now is tantamount to betrayal," Nan Zhu said calmly.
"Hey, hey, hey? Do you even know how valuable a double agent is? Can't I just tell Shi Yin that the World Fragment is in Ao Man's hands?" Guan Nianshan raised an eyebrow smugly: "In other words, isn't the information that [Shi Yin knows everything about the World Fragment] worth more than a higher-level crystal core?"
"And let alone the second-in-command, Nanzhu, I know you guys pretty well, after all, as an information broker, I have information about you in every aspect, including intelligence."
At this point, Guan Nianshan gave a strange smile: "Aren't you tempted by the fragments of the world?"
"Perhaps it would be stranger if we weren't curious," Nan Zhu said with his usual easygoing smile.
“Oh my, don’t people who admire strength yearn to become stronger? As long as you get that fragment, you can rise to the top.” Guan Nianshan’s smile deepened: “Two people who rely on the world to fight to the death, now it seems that something of even higher status has appeared.”
Nanzhu: "..."
"The existence of world fragments means the existence of a world. So what's the difference between you, a fence-sitter who admires the powerful, and me, a fence-sitter who yearns for profit? It seems you can find something of a higher status to worship now." Guan Nianshan's smile was somewhat provocative.
Nan Zhu smiled and said nothing more, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Having said that, Guan Nianshan stopped pressing the matter; he still had many preparations to make.
The underground city is a huge interest group, and Guan Nianshan has almost completely taken control of it. Now that he is going to be with his sister, all aspects can only be temporarily handed over to the state for management.
Fortunately, although he is now involved in organized crime, the government is aware of almost every step he takes, making it very easy for him to hand over his work.
Guan Nianshan is not worried at all about whether the country will return the position to him after he has protected his sister.
He has that talent.
Moreover, promoting a new person means dragging another new person down with them. Their work is complex and dangerous, and it would take an unknown amount of effort to train someone from scratch.
Moreover, in this apocalyptic world, the country simply doesn't have the time. Even if they wanted to find someone to replace him, they would need time to train their own people, which is too difficult.
However, his sister Guan Shuqing is still a source of trouble.
Although she won't die, Shi Yin said she'll be in a vegetative state for at least five years, and that time seems to have no upper limit. How long will she be asleep? Five years? Ten seconds? Or will she never wake up again?
Guan Nianshan was unsure about this. Even five years was a bit hard to accept, otherwise he wouldn't have considered getting involved with the fragments of the world.
If Pride doesn't have the World Fragment, Shi Yin can definitely succeed, then he can confidently place his bets on Shi Yin.
Guan Nianshan came to the casino. He had a very clear logic about gambling. Although he was now working for Arrogance, Guan Nianshan knew that Arrogance's chip limit was not as high as Shi Yin Gao's.
Arrogance + World Fragments = Time Sound
This equation means that Arrogance is never as stable as Toki, and helping Toki will definitely give him a higher chance of winning. However, if the World Fragment surpasses the level of all current strengths, and if Arrogance can firmly grasp the World Fragment, then Toki's chance of winning may not even reach 50%.
If these were two separate companies in the market, it would be difficult for anyone to invest in them.
When handing over his work, Guan Nianshan hesitated for a long time, but still told his subordinates not to have any ulterior motives and not to withhold any crystal cores for his personal use during this period. He told them to follow the country's orders step by step.
Guan Nianshan had many underlings, and it was inevitable that some of them would make mistakes. If he hadn't come to the rescue in time, and if he had been labeled a traitor, he would have been completely finished.
It's best to behave yourself while he's away.
Guan Nianshan finally breathed a sigh of relief after resolving these issues.
The more I look at the application form in my hand, the more pleasing it seems. I feel like I've finally made it through all the hardships I've endured over the years.
Shi Yin said that Guan Shuqing avoided him not only because he had the aura of the new world and she was afraid of him, but also because she was afraid of hurting him.
So, out of all these family members, there's at least one who loves him, right?
"Beep beep—"
Suddenly, the badge on Guan Nianshan's chest lit up twice. The lights representing the energy of the superhuman and the energy of the zombies rang twice at the same time. There were no zombies or superhumans around. Guan Nianshan knew that this was a signal from Arrogance.
Why are you suddenly contacting him?
Guan Nianshan frowned, carefully folded the application form, placed it on his chest, and found a secluded spot.
Soon, the surrounding environment changed. The familiar space became still, and the surrounding trees and wind stopped moving without anyone noticing. Guan Nianshan himself did not feel anything unusual.
Perhaps the gap between them was too great. Even though Guan Nianshan carefully observed each time to find out when Arrogance had developed this domain-like thing, he could not detect any clues.
Arrogance was still wearing a dark red cloak, but this time she didn't wear the white jade mask, revealing a beautiful and familiar face beneath it. Guan Nianshan looked at this face and couldn't help but frown.
Arrogance showed no sign of tension or interrogation this time. He simply found a branch to sit on and leisurely watched Guan Nianshan.
"You just handed over all the power under your command to the country like that?" Arrogantly sitting on a branch, she waved her hand, and a person came out from behind her and handed her a teacup: "Hmm, this juice tastes just right."
"Honestly, you didn't even know I like to drink fruit juice." He gave Nan Zhu a haughty, reproachful look.
Nan Zhu didn't speak; he just had a faint smile on his face, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
The atmosphere was relaxed, even lazy, but Guan Nianshan felt something was off; a vague sense of crisis made him sweat.
"It's just a temporary handover to the country, it's not like I'm never coming back." Guan Nianshan chose to answer the arrogant question: "Compared to the country, of course my sister is more important."
"Even if I'm doing you a favor and providing you with information, the prerequisite is that she's my sister. You can't go back on your word, can you?"
