Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

The two clinked glasses and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Then Eggsy said to Arthur, "Harry said you don't like exceptions, Arthur! Why are you making an exception now?"

“You did a great job, Eggsy! Perhaps I’ll suggest you take over Galahad’s position.” Arthur began to paint a rosy picture for Eggsy: “Of course, provided that you and I can reach a consensus on some political issues.”

Then Arthur stopped pretending and took out a pen, saying, "Guess what this is?"

Eggsy had seen this before; he had demonstrated it to Galahad when Galahad was having his own suits made. It was a synthetic, highly toxic substance.

Drinking it alone is fine, but once a certain switch on the pen is pressed, that harmless stuff can instantly turn into a deadly poison.

“I don’t need to guess, Harry told me!” Eggsy said coldly to Arthur, “The moment you pressed it, I died. I knew the brandy tasted a bit strange!”

"Good that you understand!" Arthur laughed.

"Valentine bribed you?" Eggsy looked at Arthur coldly.

Arthur said calmly, "I understood as soon as he explained... The result is the same, the virus will be eliminated."

“Therefore, Valentine decided to solve the population problem himself,” Eggsy said, looking at Arthur.

Arthur, however, strongly agreed with this idea: "Even if we don't act, nature will. Sometimes, purging inferior humans is necessary to ensure the survival of the species! History will witness that Valentine saved humanity from annihilation!"

Eggsy said sarcastically, "So he decides who to purge, is that it? His rich friends will live, and he'll protect those he deems worthy of living, whether they approve or not."

Ignoring Eggsy's mockery, Arthur addressed him, "As for you, Eggsy, for Harry's sake, I invite you to become a member of the New World. It's time to make a decision!"

“I’d rather go down to see Harry, thank you!” Eggsy said firmly.

"Go ahead!" Arthur said, somewhat annoyed, and pressed the button on the pen.

To Arthur's surprise, Eggsy was perfectly fine, but instead, he experienced a sharp pain in his abdomen.

As the leader of the elite agents, he knew all too well what it felt like to be poisoned.

Eggsy scoffed at Arthur, "We commoners just love to mess around with things! The Kingsman agents taught me a lot, but this kind of trick... I learned it a long time ago!"

As he spoke, Eggsy picked up the cup on the table and shook it at Arthur.

Arthur had no idea that he had been tricked by this kid.

Enraged, Arthur could no longer maintain his composed demeanor and launched into a tirade against Eggsy: "You little bastard, I..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, his body gave way and he collapsed onto the table.

No one expected that this top agent, who bore the name of King Arthur, would be outmaneuvered and killed by a young man who made a living by petty theft. It's hard not to find this ironic!
In the Kingdom of Brunei, inside the goblin laboratory.

Aoun and several researchers worked overtime to crack the SIM card provided by Chen Jiajun.

I have to say, Valentine is quite something.

After all, he had already...

This thing is extremely difficult to crack, which forced Orn and others to find another way, and they finally made some progress.

"Boss, it's all done!" Orn wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and happily showed the chip to Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun glanced at it and saw that it was no different from the original SIM card, so he said to Orn, "Show it to me."

Ornn nodded, then had his men activate the device.

The program hidden on the SIM card was then activated, followed by a piercing alarm.

Chen Jiajun clearly saw that the researchers around him immediately turned red in the eyes, and trembling, they grabbed whatever was next to them and were about to throw it at their companions.

But at that moment, the phone suddenly emitted a strange "hehehe" laugh, followed by a three-second countdown.

As the countdown ended, the phone, which contained the SIM card, self-destructed with an explosion.

The already irritating electronic signal was simply physically interrupted.

In a simple and brutal way, Valentine's SIM, which he had spent countless resources developing, vanished into thin air.

Chen Jiajun asked curiously, "Is it difficult to deploy your self-destruct program?"

Orn laughed and said, "Boss, this is actually a virus. I can even find a place to insert it into the SIM card. As long as someone installs this SIM card, once Valentine starts the program, this self-destruct virus will appear and destroy the phone!"

"Although their phones were blown up, at least their lives were saved, right?"

Chen Jiajun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'm very satisfied! This year's research funding will be increased by 20%!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the researchers in the institute cheered.

It's important to know that scientific research projects are extremely expensive, and even Chen Jiajun stipulated a fixed amount of research funding for them.

Otherwise, it would be a bottomless pit, and even the wealthiest person couldn't afford to squander it like that.

Although it may seem like only 20%, it's a significant amount for the research institute's vast budget.

This would allow us to start several more research projects for these researchers.

Orn continued, "And boss, regarding that thing on your neck, I simulated a signal over there in America. Do you need to remove the actual object?"

Chen Jiajun frowned and said, "Is there any way to disable this thing? Please don't let it end up like last time, where blocking the signal ended up blowing my head up too!"

Orn's already unpleasant face scrunched up, and he said to Chen Jiajun in a fit of exasperation, "Boss, we agreed not to mention this."

Chen Jiajun said with a bit of a laugh, "Wasn't it because you were unreliable last time, making so many of us come all this way for nothing?"

After settling the SIM card issue, Old Evil came over: "Boss, are you ready!"

"Yes, tell the telecommunications company to make their signboard more prominent, after all, it needs to be visible!" Chen Jiajun nodded, then glanced at his phone and sneered.

……

Meanwhile, Eggsy removed the chip from Arthur's neck, took Arthur's phone, and went directly to Merlin.

Merlin stared in disbelief at everything before him, but Eggsy had plenty of evidence.

Moreover, Galahad's death made Merlin feel that something was amiss.

"Alright, Lancelot, put the gun down. It's been confirmed," Merlin said to the girl beside him.

This girl joined Wang Hai's special agents with Eggsy, but she was selected while Eggsy failed.

It was because of Arthur's terrible question about having an agent shoot his own dog.

Overall, Lancelot is more ruthless than Eggsy.

Merlin looked at the screen on Arthur's phone, where there was a message from Valentine.

The message showed the "time" they were going to use to wipe everyone out, which prompted Merlin to say to the two of them, "Arthur's phone message says to find a safe place; we don't have much time left."

“What are you going to do?” Eggsy asked.

"It should be said, 'What should we do?'" Merlin corrected. "Who knows who else has been bribed by Valentine? We have no choice but to rely on ourselves!"

Eggsy was stunned, then looked at Merlin and Lasslot.

Eggsy, who came from a humble background, actually has quite a bit of self-awareness.

What can those three little ones possibly do?
Valentine was able to corrupt Arthur and gather so many powerful figures from all over the world; they were simply no match for him.

However, when he thought of Galahad, who had been shot in the head, Eggsy was filled with anger.

Seeing Eggsy in a daze, Merlin said directly, "Come with me!"

Eggsy and his trusted Lancelot could only follow Merlin to the cadets' landing area.

It's like forcing a duck onto a shelf.

On the plane, Eggsy looked at the pile of parts in front of him and asked curiously, "What is this thing?" Lancelot shrugged: "I don't know either."

After giving the pilots a few instructions, Merlin came out and said to them, "These things in front of you are prototypes for the transatmospheric flight module. They were invented during Reagan's Star Wars program. The firing mechanism is basic, but it should work well."

“We need to blow up one of Valentine’s satellites, cut the transmission chain, and disrupt signal propagation. It will take him several hours to set up the new lines, which will buy us enough time! Let me into Valentine’s mainframe and shut it down.”

Upon hearing Merlin's arrangement, neither of them said much and simply nodded.

Even if the plan fails, it's better than doing nothing.

Merlin said to Lancelot, "You'll be piloting it. Put on your spacesuit."

Lancelot was afraid of heights, but there was no other way now.

The plane made a brief stop for refueling.

Meanwhile, Merlin continued his research on the chip extracted from Arthur's body.

"The implanted chip will emit anti-interference signals to protect the person with the chip from electromagnetic interference from the SIM card," Merlin muttered to himself.

Eggsy asked curiously from the side, "Is it the electromagnetic wave that turns everyone into a serial killer?"

“That’s right!” Merlin nodded and said, “But he didn’t tell those people that this chip can overheat their soft tissue on command! The people Valentine left behind were carefully selected, and he had to make sure that no one would leak the secret before the plan began.”

“How will this help us?” Eggsy asked.

“No!” Merlin shook his head, then said to Lancelot, “We have to go!”

After sending Lancelot into the sky in a special hot air balloon, Merlin continued his journey with Eggsy.

“You have to use Arthur’s invitation to sneak in!” Merlin handed the phone to Eggsy.

Eggsy took it and said in surprise, "You want me to impersonate Arthur?"

“His invitation is on your phone. Show them this and say his real name is Chester King,” Merlin nodded and said.

Eggsy immediately sensed something was wrong: "And what about you?"

“I’m your pilot, I’ll stay here,” Merlin said matter-of-factly.

After all, he was a logistics staff member and an instructor, but not a qualified spy.

As he spoke, he brought out another box, which was for Eggsy's suit.

"Does this fit?" Eggsy had no choice but to ask, forcing himself to speak.

“A custom-made suit will definitely fit perfectly,” Merlin sighed. “Remember to thank Galahad when you wear it.”

To be honest, Eggsy, that rascal, actually looked quite respectable in a suit and glasses, which put Merlin at ease.

……

Meanwhile, Chen Jiajun also received an invitation and rushed to Valentine's safe house.

The entrance to the safe house is in a cave in the middle of a mountain, and the cave entrance is guarded by missiles and mercenaries.

Chen Jiajun couldn't help but laugh: "It seems Valentine has made quite a few preparations! In this situation, there's no way to force our way in."

The old man frowned and said, "It seems this guy has been preparing for a long time."

Chen Jiajun said calmly, "Otherwise, how could he have persuaded so many people? Some of these people are not the kind of people who can be settled with money alone!"

"It's just like a cult!" the old evil man said with a sneer.

"What do you mean by 'like'? It is!" Chen Jiajun curled his lip in disdain. "It's just that Valentine is planning to act on behalf of the gods; he's very ambitious!"

The old evil man laughed immediately: "For an ordinary person like him to have achieved this much is already quite remarkable."

“However, all of his efforts were in vain,” Chen Jiajun said, shaking his head. “He also oversimplified the matter of purging humanity.”

As they were talking, the plane came to a stop, and Chen Jiajun led Lao E off the plane.

At that moment, a woman was standing on the tarmac. Chen Jiajun recognized her; she was Valentine's assistant.

Chen Jiajun handed over his phone, and the woman smiled and nodded. She then said to Chen Jiajun, "Welcome, Mr. Chen. I believe you and your companion will abide by Valentine's policy of prohibiting the carrying of weapons, but if you don't mind..."

The woman picked up the scanner in her hand and spoke to Chen Jiajun.

Anyway, Chen Jiajun had stored all the weapons in his spatial storage, so he could take them out at any time.

So Chen Jiajun simply spread his hands and said, "Of course!"

After passing the inspection, Chen Jiajun entered the banquet hall.

There were already quite a few people here, each chatting with the person next to them.

Just then, a waiter in a suit came over: "Sir, what would you like to drink?"

"Whiskey, anything you like," Chen Jiajun said casually.

After the waiter left, Chen Jiajun began to look around.

The banquet hall was clearly recently renovated, and in a glass room above, there was an instrument, where Valentine himself and the head maid were also located.

Chen Jiajun chuckled and said, "Looks like that's what the control center is!"

Old Evil glanced around at the people and whispered to Chen Jiajun, "Boss, should I go and take them out? There shouldn't be anyone here who can stop me!"

Chen Jiajun took the wine glass handed to him by the waiter and said calmly, "No rush, let's take a look first!"

Anyway, he's already arrived at Valentine's lair, so he can be killed anytime he wants.

Chen Jiajun noticed that the atmosphere was somewhat lifeless, guessing that these guys were probably thinking about what the outside world would become next.

Chen Jiajun didn't care about these people; instead, he was looking for the political figures who had been imprisoned by Valentine.

If I were to personally save these people, what a huge favor that would be!

Thinking of this, Chen Jiajun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Valentine also noticed this scene in the room on the top floor of the banquet hall.

He asked the head maid, "What's wrong with these guys?"

The head maid shrugged and said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's because of the impending massacre?"

"Give me the microphone!" Valentine took the microphone from the head maid and addressed the crowd: "Hey everyone, listen to me, what the hell is going on? I just want to remind you that today is a day of celebration. Today we should not think about death, but about new life! The birth of a new era."

"Do not mourn those who sacrificed themselves today, but pay tribute to their sacrifice and their contribution to saving humanity! Have no doubts or guilt in your hearts, for you are the chosen ones!"

"When we tell children the story of Noah's Ark, is Noah portrayed as evil?"

Valentine's words clearly swayed these people: "No, no!"

Is God evil?

"no!"

"What about the animals that are in pairs?"

"no!"

"Of course not, that's right! Quickly turn your sour face into a smile, eat and drink well, and have a great time! See you again in the new era!" Valentine suddenly raised his voice, instantly stirring up the emotions of everyone present.

Chen Jiajun stood in the crowd, watching everything with a cold smile: "It's a shame this guy isn't involved in pyramid schemes!"

"But boss, what he's doing is way more sophisticated than pyramid schemes," the old man said with a sly grin. (End of Chapter)
