Ultraman: This Belial only wants to make money.

"This is all part of my duty!"

Secretary Gondo, stand at attention!

Despite the fatigue of the night, her eyes were still bright and piercing, as if they were shining. If Boss Kim had some kind of loyalty perception system, he would be surprised to find that Secretary Kwondo's favorability and intimacy had both reached 100%.

Kondo Kihachi, the most promising young member of the hawks, is not only a secretary but also tasked with secretly observing Boss Kim.

Kim Yi knew this. Even between the two closest countries, there were spies moving around in the embassies. Boss Kim didn't care about such offenses. It was just a harmless means that humans used to ensure peace of mind.

Moreover... when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Gondo observes Boss Kim, but Boss Kim is also influencing Gondo.

If I can't turn you into me, that's my problem, not yours.

Just last night, Gondo, like everyone else, watched the trial. When Boss Kim passionately criticized Abbas, Gondo held his breath, barely daring to breathe. When the scene ended, he almost fainted from the tension. He should have remained vigilant, but he completely succumbed to the pressure of last night's trial.

"...This is the kind of person I should follow."

He discovered the glory of humanity in Boss Jin, this "alien".

Jin Yi's displayed power did not exceed human comprehension, and the words he spoke could also be uttered by wise men among humanity.

Then everything that Mr. Kim performs on stage... humans should be able to do too!

As a staunch humanist, all of this broke down Gondo's defenses, sinking the ball right into his weakness. This wasn't some low-level tactic like hypnosis or brainwashing, but rather a heartfelt act of loyalty.

loyalty!

An unexpected stroke of genius: as long as Kim Yi stands on the side of humanity, then Kwon Dolphin will be the most staunch Kim Yi supporter.

"Very good, Secretary Gondo. There's one more thing—has the video footage from last night been processed?"

Last night's live broadcast was just raw footage; if it were edited and processed, its motivational and inspiring power would be even greater.

Jin Yi asked.

"That's exactly what I wanted to report to you!"

Gondo, his expression excited, spoke loudly.

If it weren't for work, he might have watched the videotape from last night over and over again. This precious material, which is worthy of being recorded in history, should be handled with the utmost seriousness and then copied hundreds of millions of times for the world to enjoy!

"The footage from last night has been handed over to TV Tokyo for processing, with renowned media personality Mr. Onoda personally handling the editing. However, we have also selected suitable personnel to collaborate with them!"

"Come in, Mitsukuni Shizuma!"

What?! Shizuma Mitsukuni?!

Upon hearing the summons from Quan Teng's secretary, a young man in his early twenties, with a youthful face, cautiously pushed open the door.

Boss Jin's fingers, hidden beneath the report, twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Guangguo is a promising junior of mine, a young man with exceptional talent in every aspect—if this matter is entrusted to him, he will surely satisfy you..."

Despite the secretary's praise, the young man simply smiled shyly, looking somewhat embarrassed, and greeted Boss Jin reservedly.

"Hello... Mr. Jin!"

Jin Yi was also sizing up the young man opposite her. His youthful face vaguely hinted at the shadow of a middle-aged man 20 years later.

This is truly an unexpected delight. The value of this talent... is no less than that of Secretary Gondo, and may even surpass it.

At this time, Shizuma Mitsukuni was only Gondo's junior and was unknown in TPC. His talent had not yet been recognized by most people.

But Jin Yi knew clearly what incredible achievements this shy, somewhat unassuming young man would make in the future.

One day in the future, Shizuma Mitsukuni will be transported to Triga's universe for unknown reasons.

In that universe, Shizuma Mitsukuni, all alone, penniless, and without any social connections, started from scratch and built one of the largest business groups on Earth, and even replicated TPC and GUTS.

While it's somewhat plausible that Gondo rose through the ranks to become a staff officer over a decade, Shizuma Mitsukuni's struggle is more akin to a legend.

Based on this achievement alone, aside from Triga, he is undoubtedly the invisible savior of that universe.

"It's still an unripe fruit..."

The TPU controller who would later remain calm and powerful was now nothing more than a helpless young man in front of Boss Jin.

Looking at Jin Yi's calm yet meaningful gaze, she still didn't know what to do.

Even Secretary Gondo, who was praising Mitsukuni, lowered his voice, unsure of his boss's decision, but continued talking for the sake of this promising junior.

"That's enough, Gondo... no need to say more."

Did it fail?

A sense of disappointment welled up in Shizuma Mitsukuni's heart. After all, he was a young man who had just started out. He lacked experience and it was only natural that he was not trusted.

But Jin Yi's next words sent him straight from hell to heaven.

"This young man's talent doesn't need empty words to prove it. A precious gem shines even in the darkest night. Gondo... don't be jealous. If your talent is enough to be a strategist for TPC, then this young man..."

Shizuma Mitsukuni held his breath, and even Secretary Gondo pricked up his ears, waiting for Kim Yi's judgment.

"Give him time, and he will become someone comparable to Director Sawai—"

Considering Shizuma Mitsukuni's later achievements, his ability to emerge from the shadows after severing all social ties and build a tremendous career in another world from scratch, this assessment is not an exaggeration.

what?

Gondo was dumbfounded. He had been a promising junior, but he never expected his boss to give him such high praise. However, because of the praise from Boss Kim, Gondo's slight resentment quickly disappeared.

As for Shizuma Mitsukuni—after a moment of silence, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. A young man who had just entered society had not yet realized his great potential and had been sitting on the sidelines for a long time. How could he not be moved to tears when he suddenly heard such high praise?

"You're very capable... Gwangguk, I'm completely at ease entrusting this job to you."

Kim Yi continued speaking, while Gwangguk wiped away his tears and patiently remembered Kim Yi's words.

"However, don't get too absorbed in your work... Your talents will eventually show; it's just a matter of time. Until then, spend more time with your family and friends."

Considering what happened to this young man later in life, his achievements were indeed remarkable, but the price he paid was the complete severing of ties with his parents and friends, which was far too tragic.

Because of Boss Jin's interference, it's uncertain whether this time travel will actually happen in Ultraman Tiga's world, but the suggestion is ultimately correct; spending more time with family is never a bad thing.

"Your teachings... I will remember them forever."

Mitsukuni Shizuma nodded heavily.

Next, in front of Kim Yi, Quan Deng introduced several requirements to Guang Guo. The young man listened very attentively and showed extraordinary learning ability, drawing inferences from one instance to another, which amazed Kim Yi.

The explanation was finally over, and Gondo and Mitsukuni left, leaving only Boss Kim in the large office.

"Have you had enough fun yet? My patience has its limits! Don't waste your time on such trivial things!"

Jin Yi stared at the ceiling, the annoying voice echoing in his mind again.

"Beria... I thought you'd finally learned to shut up."

Jin Yi's voice was as still as a deep well.

"Only if you obediently do as I say."

"I'm really sorry, but I have my own way of doing things and my own pace."

Jin Yi sat up from the boss's chair.

"Gatarine's power lies deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. Acting rashly would alert humanity on Earth. I don't want to make a fuss and ruin all our previous efforts."

"So what do you plan to do, kid? This power is essential for revenge against the Land of Light!"

In his mind, Belial's voice gradually grew more agitated.

"If you dare to break the contract..."

"Oh dear... Belial, I didn't mean to refuse you, but I think we need a more ingenious method to open the door to the R'lyeh ruins—"

"Heh...you better do as you say and don't try anything funny—"

Having reluctantly accepted Jin Yi's reply, Belial's voice gradually faded from his mind.

"well……"

Jin Yi sighed, and a card quietly appeared at his fingertips.

【Sphia Life Forms – Fusion and Separation】

【Sphia Life Forms - Combination and Separation】.

"We can't delay any longer; Belial's problem must be resolved in this world."

The cards, gleaming with a faint light, tapped rhythmically against the mahogany tabletop. Jin Yi's eyes fell on the calendar on the table.

Halloween is almost here.
