Huo Lianrong's sharp words still echoed in his ears, and Wang Zheng finally understood that there was simply no way to communicate with those who were stationed in the rear.
When you talk to him about interests, he talks to you about honor. When you talk to him about honor and contribution, he demands that you be selfless.
They said everything, good and bad.
At this moment, Wang Zheng was extremely grateful that he hadn't reported his special characteristics the moment he awakened, that he hadn't gone to school in the capital, and that he had always viewed the world with the utmost malice.
After witnessing how these beneficiaries stood on their moral high ground, Wang Zheng felt a surge of anger rising to his head.
However, the angrier he became, the calmer he remained. Wang Zheng then took a deep breath and slowly said:
"Professor Huo, I'll address you as 'Professor' because of your age. I just want to ask you, are you getting senile? Have you been hiding in the capital doing research and made yourself stupid?"
Where were you when I was saving people in Yunnan? Where were you when the principal lured away most of the demon kings from six opponents?
If Master Yanhao had said these words to me, I would have accepted it. After all, he really did go to the battlefield and did indeed save our principal's life.
"You, a mere logistics staff member, are giving me orders like that. By what right do you command me?"
Then Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and glared.
"Don't give me that nonsense about how no one is superior or inferior in making sacrifices. I don't want to listen. If we can talk, we can talk; if not, we can go our separate ways. Why make such a fuss?"
Huo Lianrong did not become angry or embarrassed by Wang Zheng's rudeness, but continued to calmly explain:
"Major Wang Zheng, you are a soldier, and obeying orders is your duty. The country's current order requires you to cooperate with us in relevant research. Don't make a mistake..."
Hearing this, Wang Zheng was too lazy to waste any more words with this bookish, unsociable professor. He simply tore off the epaulets from his military uniform and placed them on the table.
"Now that I'm no longer a soldier and don't have to obey orders anymore, what else do you have to say?"
Are we going to add another line: "All citizens of China must unconditionally cooperate with the work of your Imperial Capital Research Institute?"
Then Wang Zheng snorted coldly and took out a black spiritual crystal from his storage space. Inside the crystal, there were wisps of red mist swirling, which was beautiful but contained deadly danger.
Wang Zheng raised an eyebrow and said provocatively:
"This is the spiritual crystal you've been longing for, now with an altered structure. Even if I gave it to you now, would you dare take it?"
However, I must make this clear first: this spirit crystal will explode once it leaves my contact. I can't control it, so feel free to try.
Wang Zheng had already thought through the flaws of this "spiritual energy grenade," and there was no way to hide it from him.
The negotiations are now on the verge of collapse due to these two "gentlemen" who want to get something for nothing.
Wang Zheng also wanted to get back on track as soon as possible. All he could do now was to demonstrate the power of the "spiritual energy grenade," otherwise these guys wouldn't realize their value.
Ideally, Yan Hao would cooperate, and if he was just curious, he could just pick it up and explode it.
He's a grandmaster with strong abilities, so he'll definitely be able to control the situation. It'll be a good opportunity for them to see what's going on.
Aside from Grandmaster Yan Hao, the other two... well, let's just forget about them. Although Tang Guoan is quite strong, Wang Zheng estimates that he hasn't undergone the Transcendent Realm transformation, and his spiritual energy hasn't changed. He probably won't be able to withstand the erosion of the Candle Flame.
As for Huo Lianrong, let's not even mention him. He was practically a parachuted-in Xu Kun—so weak he was practically a B-level idiot. He was lucky to even survive.
Although the people in the capital didn't know the special nature of the spirit crystal in Wang Zheng's possession, their judgment was quite good.
No one dared to just start doing it.
Even Huo Lianrong, who was the most fervent researcher of the "spiritual energy grenade," did not make a move.
In particular, Grandmaster Yan Hao had witnessed the power of the [Nine Yin Candlelight] energy cannon before. Now, looking at the black and red spirit crystal that Wang Zheng had spread out in his palm, and feeling the same aura within it, he immediately thought of the unreliable energy attack on the Demon King battlefield that day, and his expression immediately became serious.
The three people opposite him looked extremely cautious, which made Wang Zheng roll his eyes. He cursed inwardly that this grandmaster was a coward, completely unaware of the immense psychological pressure that the flames he had used to suppress the demon king had put on this grandmaster.
Even the strongest grandmasters were in such a state, so Tang Guoan and Huo Lianrong were even more helpless. Tang Guoan, in particular, was sweating profusely, fearing that the kid might start a fight at the slightest provocation.
He's going crazy. Tang Guoan didn't expect Wang Zheng to be so reckless. It seems the report was right about the kid having mental problems.
Even with the injured principal and Professor Gu Min, an ordinary person, still in the conference room, he dared to take out the spiritual crystal directly.
Wasn't it said to be incredibly powerful? If it really is that powerful, isn't he afraid of accidentally injuring his own leader?
Or is it that the power of this spirit crystal is actually very low?
This doesn't make sense. Judging from the appearance of the master beside me, he clearly knows something, and I can also feel a pressure from that small spiritual crystal.
The result is obvious: the kid was lying when he said he couldn't control himself.
He wanted to live on his own, but when Old Huo curiously went to take it, he took the opportunity to attack him?
Thinking of this, Tang Guoan immediately pulled Huo Lianrong aside, subtly shielding him, and then said to Wang Zheng:
"Wang Zheng, calm down, don't be impulsive. You're still young, please don't go down the path of crime..."
