Chapter 665 Are You the Future?! (Second Update)
Head of the Future Base.
The initiator of the Star Core project.
Thank you Xihe.
The girl's cold and casual voice echoed in his ears. Although it was not loud, it was like a huge hammer hitting Diwu Xuan's heart, causing his pupils to vibrate violently and the last trace of blood on his face to fade away completely.
He murmured absentmindedly: "How is this possible... How is this possible..."
The words he said to Xie Xihe a few days ago emerged in his mind, and Diwu Xuan's already ugly expression became even uglier.
Although no one was looking at him, he felt as if countless sneering and mocking eyes were falling on him, making him wish he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
A staff member from Xiguang Group walked up to him and asked him to leave the meeting room in a cold tone. Diwu Xuan's heart trembled and he finally came to his senses.
He shook off the staff member's hand that was trying to pull him away, and shot a glare at Xie Xihe. He said firmly, "Impossible! You can't be the initiator of the Star Core Project!!"
Diwu Xuan looked like a gambler who had lost everything. His eyes were bloodshot. As if to give himself confidence, he said again in a decisive tone, "This is impossible!"
"The Star Core first appeared twenty-five years ago, and then disappeared for a full twenty-five years. It wasn't until May of this year that it was purchased by the Palace Guardian, Lord Taishi, at a black market auction and brought back to the Palace!"
"According to Master Taishi, this Star Core has always been in the Future Base. It belongs to Master Future, the first person in charge of the Future Base!"
"Even if you are the new controller of the Future Base, the Star Core still belongs to Master Future, and the initiator of this project can only be Master Future!"
Diwu Xuan became more and more certain as he spoke. He glared at Fu Yunting fiercely and sneered, "I heard that Mr. Fu was rescued and nurtured by Mr. Future. Now that Mr. Future is gone, you've handed over the Future Base he founded to someone else, and even gave away his things, achievements, and honors!"
"Are you doing this right, both for him and for your own conscience?"
"She!" Diwu Xuan pointed at Xie Xihe and said angrily, "How can she, Xie Xihe, compare with Master Future? And what right does she have to take Master Future's things for herself?!!"
Even Team Leader Mu and the others had not expected that things would develop to this point. They were annoyed at Diwu Xuan's lack of knowledge of the situation, and at the same time felt helpless.
After hesitating for a moment, Team Leader Mu stood up and explained with a smile, "Master Xie, please don't be angry. Diwu Xuan didn't mean that. He just...he admires Master Future too much and regards Master Future as an idol. He said these words because his thoughts were distracted."
"That's right, that's right. Team Leader Five is just like that. He can't stand anyone saying anything bad about Master Future. As long as Master Future is involved in anything, he'll lose his mind. Don't take anything he says seriously right now!"
"But it was indeed Team Leader Five who was wrong today, and your anger is justified. However, Team Leader Five probably only offended you because he didn't know your identity. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Please be magnanimous and forgive him this time."
"Although the Fifth Team Leader is a bit straightforward, he is indeed quite capable and loyal to the Guardian Hall. Now is the critical moment of the Star Core Project, when we need talents the most. Otherwise, my Lord, please record the Fifth Team Leader's guilt first and punish him together after the project is completed?"
“…”
With Team Leader Mu taking the lead, several other team leaders immediately plucked up their courage and started to plead for mercy one after another. The meeting room immediately became lively again.
Xie Xihe had an indifferent expression and let them plead for mercy, but he never showed any intention of letting him go.
Team leader Mu and others talked for a long time. Seeing that Xie Xihe didn't even move his eyebrows, they felt a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it. In the end, they could only exchange glances and gradually stopped talking.
It was not until this moment that Xie Xihe looked up.
He was still looking at Diwu Xuan, but suddenly brought up an unrelated topic and said, "Katsuragi is your apprentice, right?"
Diwu Xuan didn't understand why she asked this, but he didn't mean to hide it. He said in a cold voice, "I only taught him for a while. He called me Master, but we never really became his disciples."
Xie Xihe raised his eyebrows: "That's good."
Diwu Xuan frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'd like to say that you two, master and disciple, are quite similar." Xie Xihe remained expressionless and said calmly, "Especially the way you defend me and scold me at the same time, they're exactly the same."
What do you mean by protecting her? When did he ever protect her?
Diwu Xuan subconsciously wanted to say something, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
The next moment, a thought that he thought was crazy and incredible came into his mind, and in just an instant it occupied all his thoughts!
A voice in his heart told him, no, this is impossible. Lord Future is from the previous generation. How could he link Xie Xihe and Lord Future together!
Another voice said, maybe it is true, only this can explain why Xie Xihe has such strength at such a young age, why she can become the head of the future base, and why Fu Yunting is so respectful and special to her.
The two voices kept colliding in his mind, and Diwu Xuan felt a splitting headache. In the end, he didn't even know how he opened his mouth. He just asked bluntly, "You...you are Future?!"
Surprised and shocked eyes fell on him, but Xie Xihe ignored them. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips as he said, "Congratulations, you got the answer right, but there is no reward."
There was a loud "bang" sound, and Diwu Xuan could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground.
The other four team leaders were not much better than him. They all had staring eyes and weak eyes. They barely supported themselves by the chairs behind them to avoid falling to the ground like Diwu Xuan.
The five people all stared at Xie Xihe in a daze, still unable to believe what they heard.
Fu Yunting didn't expect Xie Xihe to reveal her identity under such circumstances, but he understood her intention after just a quick thought.
As he was pondering, a purple-black light flashed through the air. The next moment, a chip about the size of a soybean appeared in everyone's sight, quietly floating in front of Fu Yunting.
He stretched out a hand to use the chip, then looked up at the five stunned people and asked, "Do you know what this is?"
"This is the Star Core." He answered to himself, his expression as casual as Xie Xihe's. "Since you know that the Star Core is a future thing, do you know its specific function?"
