Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 228 227. Some people are so different on the surface and in private... (Fourth update)

The true leader of the Phantom Mist Group walked out of the projection. The first thing that caught Seifer's eyes was his long black hair, which shimmered under the light and was as smooth as a raven's feather.

The solemn black suit could not restrain her eye-catching upper body, the spectacular scale of which was even comparable to that of Cypher's silicone thing.

The fiery red eyes did not give people any warm emotions, because the face that should have been pretty was as cold as ice. When she walked, the fiery red highlights in her hair were like a cold flame, which was awe-inspiring.

She is a strong woman with a strong aura. If she disagrees with someone, she will send him to the mine to work illegally until he dies.

Even if it was a projection... She walked out, scanned the room, and said coldly, "You discussed for two hours and thirty-five minutes, but still couldn't finalize a plan."

On the other side, the actual person in charge of the I/O company also emerged from the projection.

The middle-aged man was wearing a strange suit filled with various instruments and bags. His thick white hair made him look a bit old, but he didn't lose his hair...which showed that he had strong genes.

He scratched his head. "A few months have passed? Things haven't changed much outside. Hurry up and finish the assignment. The lab is waiting for me."

The CEO of the Phantom Mist Group, the woman who gave Sefer a different understanding of "small branches bearing great fruits", nodded slightly to him, then looked towards the transformation agency. No one came out from there, only an audio pattern appeared.

"Welcome, welcome to my Node City. What do you think? This is an amazing underground wonder, even more creative than the Central Node City, right?"

"In order to study the history of this planet's anomalies that are unaffected by cosmic rays, I almost dug into the lava layer!"

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.

Feldrich finally notified the person who was checking the accounts, and the person who walked out of the shadows, or stood out, was a young man who was not yet middle-aged and wearing a pair of sunglasses.

He was about 20 or 30 years old. In addition to wearing the Abian Company uniform, he also wore a leather jacket. His neat short hair was even trimmed so that his ears could be seen completely, which looked very neat.

Seifer secretly asked who these people were during the communication, but Leica sounded a little confused on the other end.

She said that the person in Huanwu Group's external nickname is 'Jin Junmei'.

The guy from I/O Enterprises who seems to be obsessed with research is called 'Nicholas Newton'.

As for the leader of the reform organization, no one knows his true identity, and he calls himself "5100".

As for the last person, he was the strangest. Logically speaking, the decision maker of Abian Company should be a very energetic old man...

"It's normal that you don't know me because I'm gradually taking over the company business from my father."

"To better integrate, you can call me by the code name 'Trilobite'."

He introduced himself politely, but his eyes remained fixed on Feldridge, as if she were more interesting than anything else.

The CEO of the Illusion Mist Group, codenamed 'Jin Junmei', simply nodded before taking his seat. He spoke first, "The significance and value of the giant anomaly are self-evident. Its appearance represents an explosive growth in technology."

"As a business alliance system, joint development should be the project we need to consider..." Her voice was unhurried, very steady, rational, and made people patiently listen to her analysis.

However… Cypher’s head dropped with a phantom pain, because in the UI chat window in front of him, the message was this.

Papaya: Isn't the chat window showing a non-cooperative, non-aligned attitude? Why is it silent?
Papaya: Speak, you can’t say anything~ You are such a tough guy, but now I come to see you, why are you so cowardly? You are so weak, so weak!
Looking up, Ms. Jin Junmei was expressing her views on the giant anomaly and her demand for increased shareholdings in terms of investment, construction and technical support.

Looking down, in the UI:
Papaya: Oh, it's so boring, mercenary, why don't you say something? Why are you looking up and down? Are you ashamed of chatting with your sponsor in such a disrespectful manner?

Papaya: Ah, I see. You must be thinking about sexual compensation. Oh, I'm very picky. You were so happy jumping on my face before. Come on, speak up~
Looking up, Jin Junmei had stopped giving her suggestions and was flipping through the documents in her hand. Even though she was just a projection, Yin Ya next to her was also lowering her head and listening attentively to her advice.

When it was the turn of the I/O company to speak, he immediately said that he didn't have many controlled areas and the proportion was pitifully small, so it was not necessary to pay out such a small amount.

Everyone looked at the man who was Abian's current and theoretical heir.

He was just observing, and when it was his turn to speak, he just sat there and said, "To sum up, our company holds 45.5% of the market share. How about you all contribute a little bit so that we can hold more than 50%?"

"Anyway, your level of research into vision technology is just so-so. You even think that we need to build a vision gate before we can safely explore..."

"Haven't you noticed? The value of the items produced by unfixed anomalies is far superior to those of fixed anomalies. In this case, isn't it ridiculous to continue to 'fix' anomalies?"

At this point, 5100 raised an objection: "I don't agree with your statement. According to the data, the number of non-fixed anomalies is 10% higher than that of fixed anomalies. And due to the loss of personnel entering them, the number of anomalies that cannot be obtained is..."

After a series of data were reported, the reformation agency completely blocked this person's rhetoric... Then again, could the information heard here be sold to other mercenaries to make a fortune?
Papaya: Speak up, Xigou, oh no, robots don’t seem to have this thing, what a pity, if you try harder, maybe I will like you, hehe.

It's hard, the fist is hard.

When Seifer looked up, she saw Ms. Jin Junmei sitting upright behind the table, tapping the notebook lightly with a pen in her hand, as if calculating the ratio of expenditure and income.

This is outrageous, why am I sitting here and taking this kind of stress.

To be honest, Seifer feels that the current leader of Abian Corporation seems to have similar ideas to Feldrich... that is, he doesn't treat people as human beings.

For the sake of that 10% increase in the speed of vision condensation, he even regarded it as an optimization of output, and never mentioned the issue of the next time the mercenary entered the vision after being injured.

Young people are so brave, they are ridiculously brave in all aspects. Seifer even suspected that Abian and Frederick were actually siblings who had never met. But when he looked up, he saw that Frederick was... pale.

On the surface, he seemed as calm as an old dog, but in fact, he was extremely panicked, like a student who had been caught and didn't know how to face the situation.

Her panic was related to her previous squandering of resources and the share that would be distributed next.

The old immortal temporarily took a back seat, and it was really hard for her to accept that such a guy came up. Not to mention Sefer, she couldn't stand this guy's behavior!

But now he is the real boss of the company, and those who want to stand out - probably now set an example and make use of their remaining energy as human beings.
