"Speaking of which, my top-down approach to changing their conglomerate can be considered a kind of reform."
"The reforms they're talking about are spontaneous, not started by some outsider they've provoked!"
[The last person you dealt with was the old man who said at the consortium meeting, "You can cast a ray of light anywhere."]
He is the "Chief" Elder, the most powerful person on this planet, without exception.
He had arrived at a secret base located 110 kilometers from the town, inside an opening at the foot of an unremarkable, desolate mountain.
The old man's face was gloomy, filled with malice; he was extremely angry about being forced into becoming a homeless dog.
"Bitch! Insect! Bastard!" He paced back and forth in a room, while the bodyguards outside didn't dare to breathe, fearing they would be killed by the old man in his rage before he could even finish him off.
"It's me, the one being dragged around and forced to hide!" He felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation welling up inside him, and deep down, he wanted to tear you to pieces countless times.
[His eyes were red: "Once those damned network engineers regain control and pinpoint his location, we must immediately deploy Guangtian! No matter where he is, he must be eliminated!"]
"Even if it means destroying dozens of cities, even if it means setting this planet ablaze, he must die!"
"At all costs! By all means! At all costs!"
"Even if it costs us half the conglomerate, even if it costs us all the wealth we've accumulated over the past thousand years, for the glory of the conglomerate, we must kill him!"
"Really? You hate me that much?" You crept up behind him without him even noticing and patted his shoulder.
The chief's body suddenly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.
[A figure that had begun to evoke feelings of boredom and sorrow in him since noon today, gradually turning into anger and terror, appeared behind him.]
"Ah...ah..." He opened his mouth wide, but couldn't utter a clear word, only exhaling, which looked comical and ridiculous.
"I have good news for you." You slapped his face with a steel hand bigger than his head: "The network is back online. Now you can give the order for the Millennium Consortium to activate your most powerful secret weapon to bombard me."
"I'm curious, just how powerful is the divine force you speak of?" you say casually. "Now, you can command them to tell them that I will remain here and not move."
There was a touch of genuine feeling in your words.
[You want to be the man who emerges from a nuclear explosion; earn a new achievement.]
The chief remained silent.
You had no choice but to carry him outside. As you walked out of the shelter, you saw guards lying dead outside. The chief's lips twitched, but he remained silent.
Then you remind him: "The meeting has restarted. Come on, let's join the meeting together. The password is 671... Oh, you have the privileges, you don't need me to remind you."
At the reconvened Supreme Council meeting of the consortium, everyone communicated through a virtual network in their minds, since their physical bodies were currently hiding in various locations.
[Thanks to the flaws you deliberately created, the conglomerate's dedicated cybersecurity experts have overcome your hacking methods and improved network security several times over, ensuring that your network can never be hijacked again.]
The council members are currently discussing how to locate you, and whether it's better to proceed according to the original plan, or take another gamble and use the last opportunity to bombard you with a blast.
"Of course, they're going to bomb me again. Things have come to this point; do you think there's any room for negotiation?" You squeezed into the crowd.
"How did you get in?!"
"Damn it! They didn't reclaim the network at all; this was just a trap you deliberately set!"
[“Beep—” Someone was so startled they disconnected.]
"Don't get agitated, don't get agitated," you reassure them. "Getting agitated won't help. You're all going to die anyway. You might as well listen to me; that way, there's still a chance of survival."
[You slowly revealed your location: "This is the place. Come on, I'll be waiting here for you to drop a 'Light Sky'. It's deserted, so there's no need to worry about damaging the flowers and plants. There's only an old man sitting beside me."]
The middle-aged man, with the chairman still online, hesitated and asked, "What do you mean?"
"This is your only chance," you replied confidently. "Use my curiosity to see if you can take this opportunity to kill me and eliminate the threat forever."
[You cut off their escape route with one sentence: "Anyway, whether you here... uh, those of you online vote for that 'Light of the Sky' or not, you're all doomed. I swear I will kill every single one of you, so you have to do it!"]
The chairman and some other directors were at a loss for words, feeling that life was full of ups and downs. In this seemingly hopeless situation, a reversal had occurred, and they had encountered such a... foolishly confident enemy!
[“Fine…” Before he could finish speaking, another aged voice interrupted, forcefully stopping him.]
"Stop! Stop! I won't allow you to do this!"
"Chief Elder?" The Chairman was stunned. "Why are you doing this? This is clearly our only chance!"
He was practically saying, "Take advantage of this idiot's stupidity and get rid of him quickly."
"The chief elder is really senile. Does he still think about reconciliation in this situation? I think he really should hand over power to the younger generation!" the chairman thought to himself.
Then he heard the chief's seemingly calm voice, which was actually trembling with fear.
"I'm there, I'm in that spot too."
The chairman of the board appeared expressionless online.
In reality, however, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
Yay!
[Dreams come true!]
The older generation really needs to relinquish power to the younger generation!
Good things come in pairs!
Killing two birds with one stone!
He bowed deeply to the chief minister, saying, "May the sage Song be remembered forever!"
"Le, you've been canonized, haven't you?"
Facing the old man who was too angry to speak, the chairman solemnly said, "Elder Song, the entire conglomerate... no, the entire abandoned mining planet will remember your contributions and sacrifices on this day!"
Then hang up the meeting.
