Night fell.
"White Beast, now you're the only one left in our company."
Zhang and Li sat in the genetics company's room, arms crossed, leaning back on the sofa. Both team leaders wore expressions of melancholy and frustration.
The white beast stood by the window, its tall figure completely blocking the moonlight streaming in. It held a strength bar in its hand and was doing the exercises expressionlessly.
Yeah, this guy is also expressionless.
"We originally thought that the monkey had a chance to defeat Linnaeus."
Brother Li still felt incredibly angry when he thought about it: "And this kid actually surrendered like that! Damn it, I don't know what he was up to..."
Brother Zhang sighed, "Yeah, if we had known he was so unreliable, we wouldn't have let him come to this competition. He wasted one of our spots."
Liang Ao chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, Brother Li, I told you long ago that Monkey is a lazy, irresponsible guy who's always slacking off. He's completely unreliable."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that he wouldn't be as useful as you in the end." Brother Zhang reached out and patted Liang Ao on the shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, you made such a great contribution this time. After we get back from the competition, I will definitely report it to the company and give you the biggest reward."
Liang Ao was overjoyed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang!"
Brother Zhang turned his head to look at the white beast standing by the window and said, "White Beast, you're going to fight that genius superhuman from the Kyoto Hua family, Hua Lingze, tomorrow. Are you confident?"
The white beast stopped what it was doing, glanced at him, and said in a cold voice, "Even if I'm not confident, can you help me?"
Brother Zhang: "You..."
"Hey, White Beast, how dare you talk to Brother Zhang like that?" Liang Ao said, "No matter how awesome you are, you're just a player now. Brother Zhang is our team leader, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the white beast shifted its gaze towards him, its gloomy eyes fixed on him.
Liang Ao was about to speak when he saw the terrifying look in the white beast's eyes, and he subconsciously swallowed his words, not daring to make a sound.
"I don't need anyone to meddle in my business," the white beast said coldly. "I will win this competition and get you what you want. Just make sure the company doesn't forget to give me what I want."
Brother Zhang chuckled and said, "Don't worry, White Beast, the company won't owe you anything. I know you want the company's latest gene serum to save your sister who's been poisoned by demonic energy and is now terminally ill..."
"Click...click..."
"Boom!"
The muscles in the white beast's arms bulged with veins, and with a forceful pull of his wrists, the arm strength bar snapped with a crisp "bang," as if it had been broken off like a crisp cucumber!
Liang Ao stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.
That arm-strength bar is made of Soul Steel...
It was a material specifically made for plate armor and helmets for mid-level knights and superhumans, yet he broke it so easily.
What the hell is this power?!
Without saying a word, the white beast threw the broken arm-strength bar into the trash can and walked out expressionlessly: "I need to go back and prepare for the competition."
"Okay, then we won't bother you any longer."
Brother Zhang chuckled.
That monkey guy, he's usually so carefree and irresponsible, but once the cancer develops, he goes crazy and becomes unreliable. He's hard to control in a critical moment.
Although the white beast appears fierce and cold, it has a fatal weakness...
In comparison, it's far too easy to manipulate him.
"Speaking of which," Brother Li then looked at Liang Ao and asked, "Where did that monkey guy go?"
"Uh... I don't know." Liang Ao also looked bewildered: "He came back just now, had a meal, and then said he was going back to his room to sleep, but then he disappeared again..."
Brother Li cursed, "No organization, no discipline! After the competition, when we get back to the company, I'm going to..."
"Forget it, he's already eliminated anyway, so he's not of much use in the later rounds." Brother Zhang waved his hand and said, "If White Beast can really win the championship after the finals tomorrow, then everything will be fine."
"If the White Beast loses, then we'll have no choice but to activate the second plan..."
"When the time comes, once Mr. Raylo gets his hands on 'that' thing, we'll trade him the key to leaving the human plane. After that, we'll quickly leave this place, and what Mr. Raylo does next is his business..."
Zhang paused for a moment, then looked at Liang Ao and said, "Liang Ao, when the time comes, you go and make the deal with Mr. Lei Luo. Make sure it's a one-time exchange of goods for the key!"
"Huh?!" Liang Ao was immediately startled, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Me??... Brother Zhang, this... this isn't a good idea, is it? If the White Beast doesn't win tomorrow, we should quickly leave this town. I heard that if a Myriad Manifestation-level demon gets into a fight, they can destroy a city... If we stay here, aren't we just destined to become cannon fodder? I think it's better if we leave as soon as the competition is over, and then find Mr. Lei Luo and trade with him after he gets his hands on the goods...?"
"Idiot!" Brother Li lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "That Lei Luo, after all, is a fallen angel, a demon! Our cooperation with him was originally based on interests, and the sooner we get our hands on it, the better! Otherwise, who knows if Lei Luo will suddenly betray us for money and change his mind after discovering what 'that' is?"
Liang Ao looked miserable: "Then why me?... A battlefield at the Myriad Manifestations level is too dangerous... I don't want to get close..."
Brother Li glared at him: "If you're not going, am I supposed to go? Do you still want the company's bonus?"
"This..." Liang Ao shrank back, helplessly saying, "Alright..."
......
At the other end of their dormitory building.
In another room, far away.
Lin Nai leaned back leisurely on the sofa in the dormitory. He had already overheard Zhang Ge and the others' conversation in its entirety through the eavesdropping Trojan he left in Liang Ao's system.
Linnaeus's expression turned serious.
Unexpectedly, the people from the gene company actually got involved with that all-encompassing Black Angel...
