Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Alright then, I'll listen to you!" Kang Lianhai frowned and thought for a long time before finally nodding. "But if that's the case, why offer them such a high price?"

"Is it high? Not at all!" Zhan Weiting smiled cruelly. "Anyway, we're not the ones paying for it. I've already consulted Mr. Aldrich, and he's agreed. The funds for the operation will arrive soon."

"How much operational funding did you apply for?"

"1 million US dollars."

"So many?!"

"I already said, it's not much!" Zhan Weiting's smile grew even brighter: "Mr. Aldrich comes from a noble family and is also Hermes of the Abyss God Court. His understanding of money is different from that of ordinary people."

He knew Chen Maogan could influence important figures in the Haixi Provincial Party Committee, so he agreed without hesitation. He believed this deal was extremely worthwhile; as long as he could win over this important figure in the Haixi Provincial Party Committee, spending another hundred million wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, we investigated Chen Maogan's background through Mr. Aldrich's connections. The conclusion that Chen Maogan could influence important figures in the Haixi Provincial Committee was reached by Mr. Aldrich himself.

In this respect, we face no risk whatsoever!

If we get this money, we won't suffer any losses after the operation; on the contrary, we'll make a fortune. Therefore, we can't give Chen Maogan too little money; if it's too little, it won't seem right.

Moreover, Chen Maogan must die. Once he dies, the $1 million will become a mess, and Mr. Aldridge won't be able to do anything to us.

There is a risk that the matter will be exposed if Chen Maogan is alive.

You should know very well what will happen to the two of us, and our entire family, if this gets out.

"Weiting, I think maybe we should just forget about it. I'm really scared!"

"Lianhai, don't be afraid! As the saying goes, no one gets rich without unexpected wealth! If you're too timid, you can't accomplish great things! I think this is a sure thing!"

On one hand, if Igawa Jiro really died in Deep Sea City, Igawa Yu would definitely not let Nemesis go. He is the controller of Japan's Caos. Even someone as strong as Nemesis would probably have a hard time escaping unscathed if he faced him.

If Igawa Jiro is not dead, it confirms that he was responsible for the many mysterious deaths of Japanese causality. Even if Igawa Yu could swallow this insult, the Divine Court would not let Nemesis off the hook.

Nemesis's actions were a serious violation of the laws of the Divine Court, and the Divine Court would never tolerate them.

Lian Hai, think about it. If Nemesis falls from power, who is most likely to succeed him?

"It's one of us!" Kang Lianhai's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Besides us, I can't think of anyone else who can take over Haidong Province smoothly. Looking at the entire Divine Court, only we are the most familiar with Haidong Province."

Moreover, our base is in Hong Kong, making it extremely convenient to infiltrate Haidong Province, even more so than here!

"But Weiting, what if what happened in Deepsea City... wasn't done by Nemesis?"

"Impossible! It must have been him, it had to be him!" Zhan Weiting took a deep breath and continued, "Lian Hai, to tell you the truth, in the Abyss, you can't gain real power as long as you don't enter the Divine Court!"

Have you ever thought about how many underhanded things we've done for the Abyss over the years, risking our lives to join them? If we can't join the Divine Court, what kind of fate awaits us?

Let me tell you, the ending will be terrible! Once the tools are used up and worn out, they should naturally be disposed of.

Lianhai, we're both getting on in years. The day we're abandoned is probably coming soon. We have no choice but to fight for our lives!

Perfect timing! We now have the perfect opportunity! All thanks to Chen Maogan's reminder!

After talking to him that day, I suddenly realized that we've been far too conservative all these years! Look at how these young people do things!

We can't go on like this. Life is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. If we're only focused on maintaining our current position and making a meager living, it's meaningless and foolish!

If we don't strive for progress, sooner or later we won't even be able to hold onto everything we have now!

We must! We must give it our all!

From what I've observed, the Divine Court's dissatisfaction with Nemesis is becoming increasingly overt; at least Mr. Aldrich is no longer hiding it.

We'll strike while the iron is hot! If we don't act now, when will we?

Time waits for no one, Lianhai!

After this operation, we will rescue Jiaxiang, which will put your mind at ease.

Then get rid of Chen Maogan and his gang, eliminate this powerful competitor, and remove the hidden danger;

Finally, by joining forces with Igawa Yu to overthrow Nemesis, the two of us will become the true rulers of the East and West Sea Provinces and new members of the Divine Court!

Killing three birds with one stone! This is what we should really be planning!

"Okay, I'll listen to you... I always listen to you... But what if Chen Maogan disagrees?"

"I think the chances are slim! If he doesn't want to do it, we'll offer him more money until he agrees!"

Chen Maogan may look respectable, but he is actually extremely greedy! As a front man, he doesn't realize his role, having supported so many people and built up such a large power base!

They have quite the ambition!

I suspect that his return this time is not as simple as he claims. He must have encountered some major trouble abroad that he can't resolve, which is why his face was even damaged like that.

That's highly likely!

Now, he can't make it abroad, and his business in China is just starting out. He also has so many subordinates to support, so he desperately needs money! If he didn't have money, we wouldn't even need to lift a finger; his tough henchmen would tear him apart, believe it or not.

"Can't you see that Miss Mai, who's with him, is already showing signs of this!"

"Really? I really didn't notice!"

"Yes, I'm absolutely certain! Miss Mai isn't as respectful or submissive to Chen Maogan as she appears on the surface."

I think she must have some grievances.

We might as well put more effort into working on Miss Mai. Once Chen Maogan is dead, we might be able to absorb some of his power through her.

"I agree. Miss Mai is indeed a very charming person."

"Lianhai, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're just too lecherous. You'll make advances on anyone! Miss Mai is clearly a rose with thorns, not easy to pluck!"

However, it's clear she's very capable. I think working with her to make money is more in our best interest than seducing her into bed. Let's not create any unnecessary trouble. If we anger her and things fall apart, it won't be good for any of us.

"Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it. I never actually intended to touch her. With money, what kind of woman can't I have? Over the years, I've gotten tired of all kinds of women. Sometimes, I really think these women are dirty."

My interest in Miss Mai stems solely from her haughtiness and rarity; nothing more.

"That puts my mind at ease!" Zhan Weiting nodded. "Lianhai, whether we eat meat or vegetables from now on depends on this. Cheer up!"

Xingfuyuan Community

It was getting late. An Xiaohai returned to his room, connected to the internet, opened the program package, and tried to log in to Ghost Network again using Jiang Ting's account and password.

As expected, the account has been banned and can no longer be used.

An Xiaohai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time frowned.

He breathed a sigh of relief because Jiang Ting's account was banned, which meant that his activities on Ghost Network had been discovered by the Abyss Organization;

The reason for his frown was that without access to the Ghost Network, it would be difficult to know the movements of Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai's group in a timely manner.

"This is indeed a problem! ...Do we really have to hack into the Ghost Network's servers? It wouldn't be too difficult, but it would take a lot of time, and the worst part is, time is of the essence..."

After thinking for a moment, An Xiaohai took a deep breath and opened the login page of the Hong Kong Galaxy Technology Forum.
