Chapter 21: If you don't cooperate, you'll become an idiot.
The moment the building was frozen solid, a middle-aged man in the lounge of a luxurious office on the 18th floor, who was making love with a beautiful woman, sensed it immediately.
The chill emanating from the powerful ice magic seeped directly into every pore of his body. He pushed away the woman who was passionately embracing him and sat up.
Amid the woman's gasp, he quickly pulled on his pants and immediately activated his wrist-worn computer, attempting to send a distress message to headquarters.
However, he was devastated to find that the internet connection was lost after he posted the request for help.
The man quickly put on his coat, intending to summon his subordinates via the intranet, only to find that the intranet was also down.
The enemy came prepared and is so powerful. Could it be that the Ke family and the Simmons family have joined forces to destroy the Hua Jing family?
Besides that, he couldn't think of any other possibility. After all, on the entire Silverwing Star, only two other families dared to openly attack their West Asia branch.
Everything is normal recently. The various mining and hunting areas under the West Asia branch are sending out daily task completion progress reports on time.
Wait, that's not right! He remembered that he hadn't received a report from the Tara mining area at noon today, but that mining area was managed by the patriarch's adopted son, Hanake Saburo.
That guy, relying on the patriarch's trust, never took him, the branch manager, seriously and often delayed sending out daily reports.
He didn't want to argue with him over such a trivial matter. Did he collude with foreign enemies to directly attack their West Asia branch?
The thought only flashed through his mind; after all, Hanake Saburo's loyalty to the head of the family was extremely high, and the possibility of such a betrayal was extremely slim.
The man didn't even glance at the woman huddled in the corner, her face filled with terror, before bursting out of the office.
Then he saw a group of five people slowly walking towards him from the rooftop emergency exit.
They were wearing clothes of unknown material, which were covered in dust, but the style and workmanship of the clothes were excellent, and they did not look like ordinary people.
The man at the head of the group had a cold demeanor and exuded a powerful aura. Behind him stood a gentle, homely-looking man who spoke first:
"According to the records of the main control computer, he is Hua Jingjie, the head of the West Asia branch, male, 68 years old, with A-level speed ability, and is good at escaping."
He is a distant cousin of the family head, Hua Jingxin, and the only high-level combatant in the Hua Jing family's collateral branch.
He was skilled at managing his subordinates and knew how to utilize talent effectively. In just 10 years, he developed the West Asia branch into one of the two pillars of the Huajing family.
Hua Jingjie never expected that this seemingly harmless man would reveal all his secrets as soon as he opened his mouth. How could he possibly play this game?
But he was, after all, a shrewd and experienced veteran, and even though his heart was pounding with panic, he feigned composure and said:
"May I ask which faction you belong to? And what is the purpose of this direct attack on our doorstep?"
"If there's any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk it out. There's no need for this life-or-death struggle, otherwise others will benefit from it." Hua Jingjie tried his best to remain calm, speaking with a gentle expression.
"No misunderstanding. You should have warships, energy stones, and suppression rings in stock here, right? Hand them over, or you'll die!" Xiaobai said coldly.
Hana Keisuke couldn't help but curse inwardly: This bastard ordered the most precious and most deadly thing right away. If he really handed it all over, his job as branch manager would be over.
Those old fogies in the family elders' council will definitely sentence him to death. Being sentenced to death by the family is a hundred or a thousand times more painful than official euthanasia!
Just as Hua Jingjie was about to find some excuse to stall for time, he felt himself being stunned by the powerful S-class pressure, his whole body went limp and powerless, as helpless as an ordinary person.
The next second, a powerful mental force invaded his brain and began to forcibly read his memories.
"No! You can't treat me like this! The Hua Jing family will tear you all to pieces!" Hua Jingjie roared hoarsely.
However, as his mental energy invaded, his roar grew fainter and fainter.
"Sir, we've found them. They're all located on the fifth basement level. There's a super-strong defense system and self-destruct mechanism there. We can only enter safely by relying on this guy's iris verification and the passwords of both deputy ministers entering simultaneously," Matt said.
Using his mental power to forcibly read the other person's memories was a skill he awakened after advancing to the seventh rank. He had only tested it on a few brutal murderers before, and this was the first time he had actually used it in practice.
After his memories were forcibly read, the person's memory nerves were severely damaged. Although he did not become demented, he lost all his memories.
At this moment, Hua Jingjie's eyes were glazed over, and he looked completely bewildered, not knowing who he was or why he was here.
Matt was worried about where to find the two deputy ministers, since the building had just been attacked and they probably wouldn't be in their offices.
Then they heard hurried footsteps, followed by a knock on the door: "Minister, Minister, something terrible has happened!"
Matt directly manipulated his mental power, opened the door, and then used his mental net to trap the two of them and drag them into the minister's office.
Both vice ministers are B+ level combatants, but they have been engaged in management work for many years. How can they compare to Matt, who has been fighting against the beast tide on the front line for a long time, especially since it was a sneak attack that caught them off guard?
When she came to her senses and tried to struggle, she was overwhelmed by Xiaobai's powerful S-level aura and had no power to resist.
"Minister, what's wrong?" one of the thin, short men asked in alarm.
However, their minister's gaze swept over him as if he were a stranger, even with a hint of wariness.
“Your minister has amnesia. If you don’t want to follow in his footsteps, you’d better cooperate with us. Otherwise, I don’t mind turning you into an idiot,” Matt said with a smirk.
The two deputy ministers trembled as if they saw the devil smiling.
Matt wasn't trying to scare them. When he forcibly read their memories before, he used relatively gentle methods, worried that he might need to use the minister's brain in some areas.
But now that we know, the only thing these two deputy ministers can do is access the codes in their minds. Once their memories are read, their lives are no longer of any concern to him.
The two were almost crying with fear, and they nodded hurriedly, saying, "Sir, we promise to cooperate and we will absolutely not resist!"
The top floor is reserved for ministers. Apart from the two deputy ministers, anyone who wants to go up needs to apply in advance. That's why Hua Jingjie dares to have sex with women in broad daylight.
Two vice ministers bowed and led the way, guiding Xiaobai and his group into the ministers' private elevator and pressing the button for the fifth basement level.
It wasn't that they didn't want to resist; it was just that the minister's current semi-mentally impaired state terrified them. They would have the courage to risk their lives, but the thought of becoming a fool who could be manipulated at will shattered all their loyalty.
