Life Dungeon Game

This incident gave He Ao two hints.

First, as the highest-ranking member of the group, Kiley knew about the robotic arm. Even if he didn't know, after the victim came forward, he couldn't possibly not investigate.

This means that, regardless of the original origin of this matter, the entire group's top management probably knew about it and tacitly approved of it.

In fact, this whole thing was originally a plan devised by the group's senior management to save 'costs'.

After all, it's impossible for one or two senior executives to cause the same accident in more than a dozen cities at the same time.

Secondly, Heo could use the information he had to request to see Kiley, and Kiley would definitely agree in order to appease him, since this guy had done the same thing before.

“Mr. Joey, Mr. Keeley says he’s waiting for you in the general manager’s office.”

The receptionist hung up the phone and pointed to the elevator next to her. "Go in from there and go straight to the 101st floor."

"Thank you."

He Ao thanked her politely, picked up his suitcase, and headed for the elevator.

The receptionist stared intently at his back until the elevator completely concealed him, then reluctantly looked away.

-

The 101st floor is the top floor of the Anvis Building, where the CEO's office and the boardroom are located.

Keeley was a sprightly old man with gray hair. His expensive silk suit was impeccably groomed, and even the fuzz on it was neatly combed.

This was certainly not something he did himself; it was the duty of the servants he hired.

As the de facto controller of this behemoth for more than 20 years, Keeley has effectively entered the highest class of the entire Federation.

Within the upper echelons of society, he was known for his ability to generate maximum profits for the conglomerate with minimal cost.

This is why, despite holding a small number of shares, he has been able to control the Anvis Group for so long.

In fact, several of the top 100 conglomerates in the Federation had extended offers to him.

"Is that Joey? A hero has appeared!"

"Young man."

As Kili watched Heo approach, he stood up with a smile and shook hands with him.

His smile was like a warm spring breeze, as if one were meeting a kind elder in the family.

Heo smiled and shook hands with him, "Mr. Keeley, I'm here today..."

“Joey, it’s like this,” Kiley sat back in his chair, smiling at Heo.

"I am very sorry about what happened to your parents. In your email to me, you mentioned that some people in the company modified the maximum service life of the robotic arm. I can assure you that the senior management of the group is completely unaware of this matter. We will definitely conduct a thorough internal investigation. How about this?"

He placed his hand on the table. "The group has wronged you in this matter. On behalf of the group, I offer you one million federal dollars in compensation. This is the group's money, and it needs to go through the financial system and the board of directors. I can't give that much."

At this point, he changed the subject, "However, I can personally decide to pay you two million federal dollars, but my money is all in my investment account and cannot be withdrawn immediately. I only have two hundred thousand dollars in readily available cash in my account right now. Give me your bank card account number and I will transfer it to you."

Once you receive this 200,000, it's a minimum of 20 years.

He Ao had no doubt that the moment he stepped out of the Anvis Group building, he would be heading into the Morning Light City Police Department.

Extortion is calculated based on the amount demanded, while the actual money received confirms the act.

Killy was slightly taken aback when he saw that Heo didn't move but was looking at him with a slightly mocking expression.

However, his expression remained unchanged, still gentle and composed. "If you feel this amount is insufficient, I can discuss with the group to add more," he said.

At this point, noticing that He Ao's expression remained unchanged, he added softly, "Of course, we will also immediately set up an investigation team to investigate this heinous incident and bring justice to your parents. If you are willing, you can also participate in this investigation team. The evidence you have will become an important clue for us."

This is a test to see what evidence He Ao has.

At this moment, He Ao finally reacted. He smiled, took out an olive-shaped object from his pocket, held it, placed it on the table, and put his index finger through the pull ring.

Laser grenade.

Keeley was stunned.

“Mr. Keeley, don’t move,” Heo smiled. “It’s true.”

When someone tries to falsely accuse you of threatening them, you'd better actually have the ability to threaten them.

Kiley's hand, which was reaching under the table, paused in mid-air, and he maintained his smile. "Joey, don't get agitated. You have a long life ahead of you. There's no need for you to die with this old man like me."

"Is it reasonable for someone who recklessly lets others die to not want to die themselves?"

He Ao smiled and pulled a sheet of white paper from the printer next to the table, handing it to Keeley. "Mr. Keeley, I'm not here for money. I have only one purpose: I want you to write down the list of all the people involved in this matter who know about it. Don't tell me you don't know. Guess why I came to see you today?"

"I...really...don't..."

Keeley wanted to deny it.

With a metallic scraping sound, He Ao pulled the ring out halfway.

He Ao slowly rose, looking down at Ji Li with a terrifying and insane aura.

A faint breath emanated from him, "Mr. Keeley, I have no parents, no relatives. I wouldn't mind taking one more person with me when I leave..."

Kiley stared stiffly at the somewhat sickly-looking boy.

Then he slowly picked up the pen and began to write on the white paper.

"You can lie to me about the first thing I write down: your name, address, job title, office location, and how you were involved in the event."

Heo smiled at Kiley, "But guess..."

He slowly bent down, inching closer to the old man. His body blocked the bright light, casting shadows on Kiley's face. "Do I have a list of my own?"

Killy froze for a moment, then slowly wrote down his name.

Once the first letter is down, there are no more obstacles to the rest of the name.

The scratching sound of the pen nib gliding across the paper echoed in the quiet office.

Keeley wanted to drag it out as long as possible. He and Heo had agreed to talk for only fifteen minutes. If they exceeded that time, the receptionist would call to confirm, and that would be his chance to change the situation.

But it's clear that He Ao won't give him that chance.

Every time he slowed down, Heo would pull the pin on the grenade a little further out, forcing him to write faster.

By the time he finished writing, the grenade's pin was about to be pulled.

Fifteen names were written on the paper. He stood up and handed the paper to He Ao. At the same time, his other hand, which was hanging under the table, slowly moved towards the emergency alarm button under the table.

Heo seemed oblivious to this, shoving the pin back into the grenade and taking the paper from Kiley to examine it carefully.

Halfway through reading, he released the grenade with the hand that was holding it and reached for a pen, seemingly preparing to take notes.

At that moment, Kiley's hand was already about to touch the emergency alarm button.

But when he saw Heo's hand leave the grenade, his hand paused for a moment.

At this moment, Heo had no weapon in his hand, and it seemed that his attention was no longer on Kiley.

Killy, whose finger was already on the emergency alarm button, paused for a moment, then his fingertip brushed past the button and pressed another button next to it.

A small silver pistol popped out from under the table and landed in his palm.

Without any hesitation, he raised his gun, aimed it at Heo, and was about to pull the trigger.

However, the moment he raised his gun, he suddenly realized that Heo had disappeared.

What followed was a sharp pain in his throat; he opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Blood gushed from his throat, soaking his exquisite and luxurious suit.

He pulled the dagger from Kili's throat, watching him stagger and fall onto the table, blood gushing out onto the expensive solid wood desk.

His eyes were wide open, staring intently at He Ao.

He Ao merely glanced at him, sheathed his sword, then reached out and picked up the pen that had fallen to the side, dabbing it with a little blood from the table.

Bright red ink remained on the paper, erasing the first name.

Kiley Beth

He then put the pen back into the pool of blood, took two sheets of paper from an exquisitely carved paper box, and wiped the blood off his hands.

Finish

After all this, he put the grenade back in his pocket, picked up the briefcase next to him, straightened his clothes, and made sure that he had been careful enough to avoid getting blood on his clothes.

Then he took out a 'King of Diamonds' from his sleeve, placed it on the blood-stained desk, and slowly walked towards the door.

······

"Is Mr. Keeley available now?"

He Ao had just left the office and hadn't even closed the door when a middle-aged man waiting outside stood up from the sofa.

"you are?"

He looked at him with suspicion. The man's name tag read 'Ervan'.

“I…” Erwan smiled awkwardly, “I’m on the optimization list, and I’m looking for Mr. Kily… Although I’m getting old, I can still work overtime.”

"Oh," He Ao glanced back and closed the door behind him, "He's probably not feeling well right now..."

"I know... I know..."

Erwan slumped back into his seat, dejected. "I'll wait a little longer."

"By the way, do you know where Mike's office is?"

He Ao looked at the papers in his hand.

"Take the elevator down to the 70th floor, that's room 7001,"

Erwan stood up, pointed, and then looked at Heo's somewhat unfamiliar expression, "I can take you there."

"Need not,"

He smiled, then picked up his suitcase and prepared to leave.

Halfway there, he suddenly turned around and looked at Erwan, who had sat back down on the sofa. "Everything will be alright."

Erwan paused for a moment, then smiled slightly. "Thank you."
