Chapter 055 Talking and Transaction
"It seems that you already know the reason why we invited you here as a guest." Ling Si said.
Adrian suddenly mentioned Alice, and it was obvious that she was not simply using the powerful Alice to threaten them, but was saying - I already know your purpose.
"You want to save Sheila." Adrian smiled and said, "So, do you want me to do it?"
Even though she was in the enemy camp and surrounded by people who hated her, Adeline's attitude was still high and mighty, as if she was looking down on everyone.
Just like she did not show any fear towards the blond boy who stabbed her, she just calmly threw out a few words to provoke him.
Arrogance and coldness are her basic characteristics.
"Alice will not stop without my order. Even if I were to block her knife, I would not be able to stop it. She is such a killing machine, you know."
"So, in order to get my orders, you ask me?"
She gave them a wicked smile, playing with their emotions.
Although he was in the Dawn Army's home turf, Adrian, who was bound by ropes of light, seemed to be standing on the high platform of the Werner Group, overlooking all living beings.
And those various gazes, some angry, some hesitant, and some calm, were like lights gathered for her, illuminating her unyielding and unwavering expression and making it sparkle.
Su Yunling, who was standing at the door, looked at the scene in front of her with shining eyes.
"This is a limited-time scene that you cannot miss..." She whispered unconsciously.
Among the people who were closer to her, Selma's entire attention was on Adrian. She looked as if she wanted to rush over and break her neck, and she obviously didn't hear what he said. Ren Fengpan was lost in thought and didn't respond.
Only Ji Weihang looked at her.
People who were farther away didn't notice the movement at the door; all their attention was on Adrian.
Facing the arrogant Adeline, Ling Si's expression was very calm, and he said, "You think there's nothing we can do, right?"
Adrian's expression clearly said: Yes.
Ling Si: "Are you ready to face death? If Sheila dies, what will happen to you? What will happen to the Werner Group?"
The two people's eyes intertwined in the air, like two clashing blades.
Ling Si's tone was cold and certain. "You will be torn apart by my sisters, and your death will be the beginning of our dazzling journey.
“The Werner Group will be caught in an internal struggle for power. Elena Werner and Edward Werner will fight to the death for the identity of the Werner leader.
“Your Werner Group will fall apart and become the detritus of history.
"Your death is a brilliant firework representing victory to us.
"For you, it is a meaningless, failed ending to your life."
Ling Si said slowly: "Is this the result you want?"
"My death, is that so?" Adeline's face showed a hint of sarcasm. "Do you think I will believe it? You will abandon Shira and break your promise to do your best to protect everyone in the Dawn Army?"
Ling Si remained calm, "Put aside your arrogance, maybe we can reach a win-win outcome."
Adeline said nothing more, watching her expression for a moment, then smiled calmly, "Okay."
Without waiting for the others to react, she continued, "If you let me take my Elisa, Floyd, and this intruder away, I will cooperate with you."
She raised her hands and pointed at Su Yunling.
Su Yunling looked a little dazed, as if to say, "Me?"
She looked at Ji Weihang who was leaning against the door frame behind her.
Was she really pointing at the right person? During the time she had captured Adrian and returned, she had never talked to Adrian at all, and even looked at him very carefully. How could she suddenly receive such favor?
If so, Sister Lingsi would suspect that she had reached some kind of deal with Adelian, right? She shook her head nervously at Lingsi.
"No." Ling Si flatly refused.
The Werner Group's attitude towards intruders was no secret. Before coming, she had promised to protect their lives, so she would not let them fall into a situation that she could not control. Moreover, she would not exchange people as if they were objects.
"Then what are you talking about?" Adeline said dully.
Many people are a little annoyed.
The enemy leader is so arrogant even though he is in his own base camp. It is really unbearable!
The blond boy slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't be so shameless!"
"Oh." Adeline casually uttered a word, which made the boy furious. She didn't even look at her, but lowered her head to look at the wound on her abdomen that was still bleeding, "Then hit me."
"Don't think I don't dare!" As he said that, the blond boy was about to rush forward.
"Sit down!" It was not Ling Si who stopped the young man, but the black-haired middle-aged woman sitting next to Ling Si. She frowned and said coldly, "Are there any more rules?"
The blond boy's body stiffened for a moment, then he sat down silently, but his expression was still a little angry.
Although the others did not agree with the boy's recklessness, they also felt that this was not the right way to talk. They were about to meet, so there had to be some rules.
Looking at the bored Adeline, Ling Si suddenly said, "Let the others go out, let's talk alone."
"Oh?" Adeline said with interest, "Be careful, your companions will think that you have betrayed them and reached an agreement with me."
This was because she had heard their previous argument. The black-haired middle-aged woman looked at the blond boy with some reproach. The blond boy lowered his head, as if a little ashamed, and quickly ran out of the room. After that, the others followed one by one.
After Ling Si spoke, Ji Weihang, who was standing at the door, was the first to go out. She had already felt a little bored.
She stood in the corridor and said to Selma who came out later, "It's time to find someone for me."
The middle-aged black-haired woman who was the last to walk out the door heard this and said, "Who are you looking for? Do you need my help?"
"If you are willing, Professor." Selma said respectfully, "This is Professor La Boer. While my elder sister is trapped in the cage and it is inconvenient for her to communicate with the outside world, the professor is in charge of all matters concerning the Dawn Army."
After the two of them briefly introduced themselves to each other, Selma asked curiously, "Professor, did you just get here? I didn't see you before."
La Boer: "The situation here is not good, so they notified me." Because there were outsiders around, she didn't say much, but Selma knew it well. This was indeed a situation worthy of attention.
As the leader, Ling Si has stayed in the cage for too long and is too far away from the members. Many new members may not have heard of this leader, let alone believe in him.
Upon learning that Sheila was arrested, Lingsi was unwilling to send people to investigate, nor was he willing to reveal why he believed in the intruder. In this situation that could easily get out of control, it was normal and natural for La Boer to rush over to mediate.
These things are not suitable to be said in front of outsiders, as if exposing the shortcomings of one's own people. Selma returned to the main topic, "Jiang Zhan helped to capture Adelian. As a deal, we have to help her find someone."
La Boer readily agreed, tapped his watch, and the virtual screen expanded, "What are the characteristics of the person you are looking for?"
Selma explained: "The professor's ability is to digitize her thoughts, transmit information to the Internet, and also read the Internet quickly."
If that's the case... Ji Weihang stretched out his hand, "I can share my memories of her. This way you can input her information directly, right?"
Somewhat surprised at her diverse abilities, La Boer nodded in the affirmative, then shook her hand.
Ji Weihang shared his memory of Fu Xuan with Labor's mind through the memory sharing symbol.
The memory sharing symbol has many uses, especially for a founder like her who is skilled in using it.
Labor felt a "portrait" of a woman suddenly appear in her mind, and her brows raised slightly, but having seen many abilities, she did not lose her composure and continued to transmit the information in her mind into the Internet.
When she uses her ability, a light blue data glow flows in her brown eyes.
A portrait, or photo, of Fu Xuan appeared on the virtual screen.
La Boer showed it to her: "Is it her? Are there any distorted details?"
Ji Weihang: "Yes, it's her. No problem."
Selma watched the whole process and felt that Jiang Zhan's abilities were really diverse and interesting. She was eager to try it out.
Labor put the photo into the Dawn Army's information database and searched it, which took some time. Seeing that Selma was interested, Ji Weihang asked her to try it. Selma felt the scene of the snow-capped mountains suddenly appearing in her mind. She was happy and surprised to see the snow-capped mountains for the first time, a little like a child.
La Boer soon got the information about Fu Xuan, which showed that she was not a very special person.
Ji Weihang glanced at the information on the virtual screen. With her memory, one second was enough to remember all the information.
She thanked La Boer.
At this moment, the door opened, breaking the silence that was obviously separated between the two spaces inside and outside the door.
Lingsi and Adelian came out. Ji Weihang noticed that the wound on Adelian's abdomen had been treated, and it seemed that the conversation went well.
Facing everyone's gaze, Ling Si said, "We have reached a deal. Adeline will give up the plan to assassinate Sheila, and give up the arena project, and let all the prisoners accept our assistance. In return, we will hand her over to Alice intact and let them leave."
The corridor was filled with silence as people waited for the results.
Saving Sheila and saving the arena... This is certainly a good offer, but should we really let Adrian go? There might only be one chance to catch Adrian, and if we let her go, will she immediately regret it?
"She and Alice will stay with us until we successfully assist our companions in the arena," Ling Si said, "during this time, someone will be responsible for watching over her."
Ling Si looked at Ji Weihang, who was not concerned about the matter, and said, "Jiang Zhan, are you willing to help me watch over Adelian? This is also her wish. We all believe that you, who are neutral and powerful, will be the best watcher. This will take about an hour."
Although the various arenas are located in different places and scattered across the continent, in this world, evacuating those prisoners only requires a few more superhumans who can teleport.
An hour is not a long time, and she was planning to finish this matter before leaving. Ji Weihang nodded.
The agreed meeting time was approaching, Ling Si had someone disguise Adlian, and then set off with some people.
None of them mentioned another plan - letting Weihang take Adlian directly into the shadow world to stop Alice, which was obviously the fastest and simplest way.
But the risks of this plan are undoubtedly great.
If "Jiang Zhan" turns against the Dawn Army, the Dawn Army will lose everything.
The Dawn Army does not yet have that much trust in the invaders.
