Above Destiny

Chapter 477 Life and Death, Father and Son (Added for the legendary Silver Alliance of Ju Miao

It is human nature to look at what is in the bowl and eat what is in the pot.

It's a good thing that Mingkele is ambitious. Ji Jue also needs such an enterprising partner who can never be satisfied. If he replaces him with a sloppy person, where will he earn the friendship fee?
In return, the Seven Cities, mainly the Mingkler family, once again used their extraordinary abilities.

As one of the largest commercial hubs in the southeastern part of the Endless Sea, the Seven Cities has an astronomical amount of wealth passing through it every day. Under the current tense situation, it has attracted a large amount of foreign capital as a safe haven.

Their family has occupied the Seven Cities for many years and is almost one-seventh of the alliance, so they are very happy when it comes to emptying their pockets.

At this critical juncture, the Seven Cities need protection, the people of the Seven Cities need to believe that they will be protected, and the Seven Cities need a fighting hero!
Minkler, who used to be an inconspicuous soldier in the family, has risen in status. Having experienced the taste of power, it is even more impossible for him to let go.

What is needed is an ally like Ji Jue who will not shake his position and can provide a lot of help.

The two sides hit it off.

On the same day, a large amount of materials were transferred through the Tianping Chamber of Commerce and directly transferred from the local warehouse to Coast Industries.

In addition, they also purchased a large number of second-hand or scrapped alchemical items on behalf of the client, and guaranteed that this was only the first batch and there would be more to come!

As long as you don't say stop, we'll renew it for three years.

It’s not in vain, it’s not in vain!

The military achievement of a mere expelling ship is just an introduction. The key point is that the Seven Cities have used this opportunity to assert the righteousness of punishing the criminals and upholding justice.

It was you, Ekonzo, who was so cruel as to send troops to invade my Great Seven Territory first. What's wrong with me defeating them in one go?
Besides, although Punabantu is not big, food is scarce, and the local people have a low level of prenatal education per capita, it has mines, gold, and it’s a rich mine for the entire island!

Everyone can't wait to share the cake.

In response to this, Ji Jue said that it was very good and he would continue to increase his intensity.

If he hadn't been busy recently, he would have wanted to take Pan Ying to Punabantu for a visit. It would be a pity to waste so many top-quality living sacrifices.

Over the next few days, the situation in the southwestern part of the Thousand Islands changed again.

First, the Seven Cities declared war on Punabantu and fought back. Four days later, General Ekonzo, who had just come to power through a military coup, died suddenly and mysteriously in his own presidential palace at a banquet he had hosted.

Lord Ekonzo, who was talking eloquently with a knife and fork in hand, describing the wonderful essence of human flesh, suddenly had his head explode, splattering the wall and splashing all over everyone.

Dead, completely dead.

It was a good death, a wonderful death, and everyone who died was shocked.

As for who did it, no one can tell. Anyway, it doesn’t matter who did it. No one cares.

Over the next two days, the entire Punabandhu was in chaos again. Within forty-eight hours, four people who called themselves generals declared that they would take over the city-state, and two elected presidents who appeared from nowhere called on everyone to revolt. The situation in the main capital of more than 200,000 people was changing rapidly.

It ended overnight, silently and deadly as hell.

From the hidden dangers that they have forgotten...

After losing control, the psychic plague broke out completely. The dream disorder took away the souls of more than 70,000 people, turning them into zombies, and even degenerating them into deformed species.

The entire city was transformed into a demonic domain under the erosion. The survivors who had not been infected, or had not yet experienced an outbreak, fled in all directions.

According to the Federation's observations, it would take at least forty years for the city's anomalies to naturally dissipate and degrade, so a restricted area once again appeared on the international map.

The spiritual plague also spread among the Thousand Islands as the survivors fled.

but……

There are more than one kind spreading among the Thousand Islands!

Aphrodisiac disorder will not cause sudden death or explosion, nor will it turn people into a walking source of pollution. It can even be prevented with a high probability through painless vaccination.

Welcome to the immortal server, brother, you still have a lot of practice to do, so please step back for a while!

There's nothing to worry about, we're just living our lives, we're used to it.

Those who deserve to be killed should be killed, those who deserve to die should die, and those who deserve to be done should be done.

Live today first, don’t think about tomorrow.

A few days later, after the review and reprimand by the Chongguang Sect was completed, the elder brought his assistant Yu Shu, who had just finished recuperation, to Coast Industry for a formal visit.

The old man held Ji Jue's hands and expressed his sincere gratitude: "Thanks to your help, Mr. Ji, the child has returned safely. I hope you will forgive me for not formally thanking you until now."

"Elder, please don't say such things. When my elders received medical treatment and underwent surgery, wasn't it also paid for by Keats Hospital?
Sit down now, don’t stand.”

Ji Jue waved his hand, enthusiastically led them to sit down, and brought out some good tea to entertain them. He also proposed a new round of cooperation. The new batch of improved prosthetic limbs had entered the testing period, and the Chongguang Sect just needed to help find disabled people for testing.

"I understand. Leave it to me."

The elder accepted the plan with a smile, a trace of emotion appeared on his old face, and he said solemnly: "I came here today with the audacity to ask for another favor."

"No problem, go ahead."

Ji Jue waved his hand and said, "I'm not refusing you. Just ask me, Elder. I'll make sure it's done!"
In the brief silence, the elder paused, turned around and looked at the assistant standing beside him, Yu Shu, and pointed out: "Can you take in this child?

I just need a job to make ends meet. Although I don’t want to brag, I am still very confident in the children I have taught.”

"what?"

Ji Jue was stunned.

He had rolled up his sleeves and was ready to charge towards Thousand Islands, but he didn't expect that the elders were here to arrange jobs for his own children... But, children?

Are You Sure?

This guy has an unshaven beard and a haggard face. He must be older than me, right?
How come my seniority suddenly increased?
Yu Shu lowered his eyes and bowed his head respectfully, humbly and peacefully, without any unhappiness or resistance, and obeyed the arrangements.

How should I put it? Some people just look handsome and make people feel that they are reliable, steady and trustworthy. He is one of them. Although he cannot be called handsome, he is very approachable.

Just like a kindergarten uncle.

But, it seems like something is missing.

The badge on the collar, an ornament worn by all members of the Sogo Cult, is gone, with only a pinhole left in its original place.

Ji Jue vaguely guessed something in his heart, but didn't ask any more questions, just nodded.

"sure, no problem!"

He nodded decisively: "Since he is introduced by the elders, there is no need to waste time interviewing him. Is there anything he is good at?"

"Surgery, emergency treatment, I have a doctorate from Nanlin University, and a medical license. Besides that, I know some Imperial and Middle-earth languages. I have done a lot of coordination and planning work in the cult, so I have no problem with administrative work."

Yu Shu replied: "In addition, a few days ago, a ceremony of summoning from the higher level was held, and I luckily passed it. It was the vortex system, and the matrix was the echo."

hiss--

Talent!
Ji Jue's eyes lit up. Nanlin, like Tianmen, is also one of the top five in the Federation, and its achievements in medicine are even better. At this age, he can get a doctorate and a medical qualification certificate. His IQ and learning are definitely at the top level. What's more, doing the work of coordinating and organizing planning in the Chongguang Cult is definitely at the level of hell... Not only is the salary low, but there are also a lot of things to do. If you can arrange things in a clear and orderly manner and become the assistant of the elder, you are more or less a management expert. And she's also a milk!

This is not a child at all; it is clearly the elder who took out all the Pokémon he has raised for many years.

Wouldn't this mean that they could just kick the quack doctor Xie Lan aside and become self-sufficient from now on?
"That's fine. I'll contact Yan Gong and Director Gou. I won't arrange a fixed position for you yet. You can take a look at both Coastal Industries and Courier Logistics and get familiar with them. We'll talk about it in detail after it's confirmed."

Ji Jue nodded without hesitation, grabbed it, and refined it in an instant.

Take it!

After Yu Shu left temporarily, Ji Jue looked at the elder who had been silent for a long time.

"Can you tell me the reason?"

Such a good assistant and junior would be a treasure no matter where he is placed. It is not possible that he would be abandoned suddenly and released as a gift to the society and give back to the Federation, right?

"He has committed the crime of murder and has been forbidden by the Holy Spirit. The church cannot allow him to stay any longer." The elder lowered his eyes and said, "I know this is cruel, harsh, and unfair, but this is the commandment."

Even so, the situation forced it.

But aren’t the so-called precepts used to restrain oneself?

Once it is broken, it can never be restored.

Once lost, it’s lost forever.

"Besides, he can't get over this himself."

The elder looked at the place where he left and sighed silently: "Once a person starts to waver, he will not be able to find the answer or direction. Instead of wandering aimlessly, it is better to find a place to stay quietly.

He needs some time, a safe haven, a place to sort out what he wants."

The elder said solemnly: "The coast is a very good place, please do not despise it."

"How can you say that? Talent will never be buried anywhere. Besides, he is simply a saint here."

Ji Jue shook his head and sighed: "You are such a good father, Elder."

The elder was silent for a moment, and finally laughed at himself:
"I really wish I was."

It was already afternoon when we came out of Coast Industries.

Ji Jue invited the elders to have dinner together in Coast Industrial's own cafeteria. It was not luxurious, but there were dishes and soup, enough to eat and simple and plain.

The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

"Okay, let's send it here."

Right in front of the newly built station, in front of the chaotic crowd and motorcade, the elder turned around and took a last look at his assistant: "Panpan is pregnant and can't travel with you. She should help at Keats Hospital first. There are so many people in the sect taking care of her, so there won't be any omissions.

When you are firmly on your feet and the child is born, it will be up to you and your wife to decide how to plan for the future.

Yu Shu nodded gratefully: "Thank you, father."

"I told you, don't thank me."

The elder sighed, turned around, glanced at the construction site in the distance shrouded in smoke and dust, and even at the direction of the coastal industry, and suddenly said: "I know you are hesitant and wavering in your heart, and I also know that you have hatred and resentment. It doesn't matter. People work hard and it is inevitable to make mistakes. You and I are not saints. We all have distracting thoughts in our hearts. Although we cannot avoid them, we must always restrain them and not let them go."

"I know." Yu Shu nodded.

The elder continued, "Mr. Ji is an upright man. You should learn from him. If you have any questions or doubts, you can ask him for advice."

"Father..." Yu Shu's expression was complicated and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The elder raised his lips and glanced at him with a half-smile, as if he could see through his heart: "…But he captured slaves, extorted debts, and ran rampant in the wilderness, committing endless sins."

Yu Shu was silent.

"That's why I said he is an upright man, Little Tree. Is he doing this for himself?"

The elder shook his head and sighed, "In this world, between doing good and holding a knife, a mediocre person like me can only do one of the two.

No, it should be said that people are afraid of trouble, dreading other people's eyes and consequences, so they desire an innocent process to comfort themselves and survive, and even to be indecisive and deceive themselves and others.

I can't bear to see my child in danger, but I also can't bear to see my life's achievements in vain, so I can't let go.

I don't let you thank me because I'm ashamed and I don't deserve it...

Otherwise, I should have contacted Chen Xingzhou immediately, like a real father, picked up a knife and went out to sea to save my child without hesitation."

Yu Shu looked up and wanted to argue for him, but was stopped by the elder's gaze.

Don't allow him to interrupt you.

"——However, some people don't need any results.

He doesn't care about evaluation, doesn't need people's gratitude and so-called fame, and isn't bound by the things you and I fear. He only cares whether what he does conforms to his own rules, even if it turns the world upside down.

Now, do you understand?"

Yu Shu was silent.

"Just stay here, and when you have the courage to tell others what happened, come back and see me."

The elder finally told him, "You can continue to do good deeds. It's up to you whether you want to hold the knife or not."

"Yes." Yu Shu lowered his head.

The elder had a serious expression and wanted to say something, but he paused for a long time. He just stretched out his hand and finally straightened his collar for him.

"Don't forget what the nuns taught you," he whispered, "and work hard."

"Ah."

Yu Shu nodded again, his eyes red.

So the elder turned and left.

The slightly heavy robe fluttered in the wind, wrapped around him, revealing his thin outline.

Going further and further away, never to be seen again.

Yu Shu stood there for a long time, watching the cars and people coming and going.

After a long time, he turned around, walked towards the factory building on the coast against the scorching sun and the crowd.

The sun shone on him, lengthening his shadow and pointing in the direction of his father.
