Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 1133 What is the bottom line?
"OK."

Reaching out to grab the cufflinks Leon tossed to him, the third-generation old man probed into the mirror world. After looking at the mountain of "materials" inside, he suppressed the shock on his face and then gave Leon a rather...appreciative look.

"Whether you're lying to me or not, based on what you've sent, I'm convinced that you and that mermaid can't possibly be in cahoots... I'll take this job. What are your plans?"

How to do it... naturally, the best approach is to win hearts and minds.

After hearing the question from the three generations of old men, Leon's eyes flickered, and he unconsciously started to refer to the operations in various classic works, and a series of plans that were far removed from human beings appeared in his mind.

However, just as he was about to answer the question from the third-generation bureau chief, the Taurus director beside him recovered from his shock and stammered:
"You...you're just too...wow..."

After taking several deep breaths to calm his utterly shocked soul, the Taurus director, having barely regained his composure, spoke with a complex expression:

“Leon, I don’t mean to blame you. You’ve always been a good kid, and you had no choice but to do this this time… but are you sure this method will work?”

"I am very sure."

Seemingly anticipating this question from the Taurus board, Lyon briefly recounted his experiences in the Abyss Realm, then stated with considerable certainty:

"Although people can change, no matter how a person changes, their 'underlying nature' will still be the same. And from my interactions with Evangeline, I am convinced that she is a kind person at heart. However, the kinder she is, the more she will be affected by this abnormal object."

"..."

She's a good person, and we're about to threaten her with the remains of her entire clan... How come I suddenly seem to have become the villain?
"If you feel the evidence is not sufficient, then you might as well consider Evangeline's purpose in doing these things."

After glancing at the increasingly complicated expression on the Taurus director's face, Lyon added:

"Based on my understanding of Evangeline, the only thing that could make her decide to become our enemy is something like making up for past regrets or reviving her dead people."

Therefore, if she didn't value her own people, she wouldn't choose to be our enemy. The more she values ​​her own people, the more she will be affected by the anomalies created by the Third Generation Lord.

"Your Excellency Taurus, I know that given your personality, you probably wouldn't like doing this kind of thing. The problem is, given the current situation, we can no longer afford to dwell on whether our methods were excessive."

That's not what I meant, but... well, you're probably right.

Although he was indeed a little uncomfortable, now was not the time to dwell on such things. After unconsciously clenching his fists several times, Director Taurus finally overcame his mental hurdle and nodded with a wry smile:
"Then I'll help too... Leon, tell me what you're planning to do..."

"I hope the two of you can forge a set of three anomalous items, one for defense and two for offense."

After nodding to the Taurus director, Leon, who had already made preliminary plans while digging up the grave, answered directly:

"First, among the materials I brought back is a stone tablet that records the history of the Abyss Realm. I hope you can use it as a base to create an anomaly that targets the soul and memory."

"Targeting what?"

"I plan to create an overlapping illusion, dragging her directly into memories of the Abyss Realm, trapping her with the most beautiful past, and once she breaks through these illusions, I will show her the cold reality, reminding her of the true ending of these beautiful memories."

After briefly explaining his idea for a "flashback," Leon's eyes sparkled as he summarized:
“For her, who has grasped the root of the problem, any attack on her soul is useless, and cannot even trap her for a moment. Only by letting her sink into it herself, and making her unwilling or afraid to break free from the memories immediately, can I find an opportunity to attack her.”

"understood."

After giving Leon a strange look, the third-generation old man said with a knowing expression:
"The other two items are also the kind that don't require much strength and are only targeted at her, right?"

“Yes.” Lyon nodded.
"For the second anomaly, I hope to temporarily revive her people and have them participate in the siege against her under my control... It doesn't need to be a real revival, just to temporarily 'pull' them up with the help of the power of the source."

As for the third anomaly, it would be best if it could link me to these resurrected people. Once she prepares to attack me, these resurrected clansmen would begin to disintegrate and then slowly die before her very eyes.

"..."

So cruel!

After hearing Lyon's plan and imagining the effects of this anomaly, the third-generation director's face flushed slightly, and his expression became increasingly excited. Meanwhile, the Taurus director next to him couldn't help but shudder, and a trace of sympathy for the enemy even appeared in his eyes.

"besides."

After considering the gap between himself and Evangeline, Lyon, under the fearful yet expectant gaze of the Taurus board member, thoughtfully continued his suggestion:
“I hope that the dissipation of these survivors will be as slow as possible, that they will not collapse instantly, but rather show signs of pain and struggle, but in the end, they will speak out with their own will, constantly asking me not to waste my energy saving them, and encouraging Evangeline to continue fighting with me.”

"Save them?"

Having grasped the key point in Lyon's words, the three-generation old man's eyes flashed as he pressed on with another question:
"You mean... these recovered people can be 'rescued'?"

"Yes."

Lyon nodded and said:
“I hope that if someone is willing to make a sacrifice and inject a tiny bit of Root Color, it will be possible to save these dying Resurrectors, and even help them break free from my control and return to Evangeline’s side.”

"?!!!"

You? You? You?!
I'm sorry, I didn't have a choice either.

After turning his head away from the increasingly tense gaze of the Taurus director, Lyon coughed lightly and then continued softly:

"But after those survivors left my control, their rate of consuming source energy began to increase stealthily, little by little. And for every additional person they saved, the rate of source energy consumption would secretly increase by a small fraction, until..."

Until that mermaid, because of her kindness, has her life force depleted and she is completely worn down by the people she "saved"?

After fully understanding Lyon's entire thought process, not only did the Taurus director stare at Lyon repeatedly in shock, but even the third-generation old man, whose bottom line was clearly much lower than hers, couldn't help but click his tongue twice.

This kid is really something... I think I understand why the demons in the abyss want to kowtow to him when they see him. If I were one of those demons, I would probably kowtow to him too... Speaking of which, I don't think I've offended him much in the past, have I?
Having memorized Lyon's designs for the three anomalies, the third-generation old man couldn't help but scratch his slightly uneasy back and ask:

"Have you thought of a name for this set of dirty... cough cough... this set of highly targeted abnormal items that you asked me to forge?"

name?

Lyon paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then I'll get one for you."

With a slight grin revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, the younger version of the third-generation old man, now with a level 10 beauty filter applied, chuckled:
"How about we call it 'Leon Ryan's Bottom Line'? What do you think?"
