Living in an apartment: Only children make choices.

"I didn't expect you to find out after all?"

Gadot smiled and continued.

"The organization was only discovered after the investigation."

“Originally, 55% of the common shares were controlled by European and American institutions.”

"But you somehow managed to acquire 6% of the shares from European and American institutions."

"This resulted in a 49% change in the stake held by European and American institutions in Samsung Holdings..."

Hearing this, Lin Yun suddenly became somewhat impatient and said.

"After all you've been saying, are these considered benefits?"

"Does that mean the Illuminati not holding a grudge against me is a benefit in itself?"

"Since the benefits are so poor, I imagine the punishments must be rather mild, right?"

Gadot said hastily.

"Of course, that's not all!"

"After joining the Illuminati, we can guarantee that the Beasts Group will enjoy priority resources."

"We will no longer set up technical fortresses around the company; all resources and technologies will be shared."

Although Gadot only said a few simple words, the value of her message was already very evident.

"So many benefits? What do I need to give up?"

Gadot began to explain.

"Since it is an organization, its most basic principle must be that the interests of the organization are above all else."

"Of course, if you are not satisfied with the organization's requirements, you can withdraw at any time. However, after withdrawing, you will no longer enjoy the various benefits previously provided by the organization."

"There is one last obligation: members of the organization must help one another."

"Since you've enjoyed these benefits since joining the organization, we hope you won't be stingy when new members join as well."

"After all, we are a mutually supportive and united organization."

Lin Yun rolled his eyes.

“If it weren’t for the fact that I already knew about your (ahac) organization.”

"I thought you were a charity organization."

"To put it bluntly, isn't your organization just a group of people who control a lot of wealth, banding together for mutual support?"

Gadot nodded and said.

"Mr. Lin's summary is very accurate."

"Those who control a lot of wealth, even if they have the power to speak."

"But at the national level, it is still insignificant."

"But what if a group of people who control the lifeline of wealth come together and form an organization?"

"This organization can interfere with, and even manipulate, national decision-making..."

Lin Yun interrupted.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to read from the book anymore."

"I'm so tired of hearing about these Western organizations."

"They sent in the FBI and special agents before, but when they found that the hard approach didn't work, they switched to a softer one?"

Gadot said hastily.

“Mr. Lin, that was a national act by the United States.”

"It has nothing to do with the organization."

"Our organization has members not only from the United States."

“Many members participate from developed countries in Europe and America, some Asian countries, and even your China.”

Lin Yun said with a smile.

"I know that..."

"By the way, among the people from China who have joined the organization, do I know anyone?"

Gadot smiled apologetically.

"This is an internal organization secret."

"You'll find out once you join."

Lin Yun nodded and said.

"OK, you're done talking, right?"

Gadot paused for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, I'm done."

So, what is your choice?

The next second, Lin Yun suddenly spoke up and reprimanded him.

"Don't you know the rules?"

Do you think I don't need to think things through carefully before making a decision?

"Or are you so arrogant that you didn't even give me time to think?"

Gadot quickly apologized.

"Mr. Lin, that's not what we meant."

"The organization greatly appreciates you; please don't misunderstand."

“You can take your time to think about it. I will stay in Shanghai until you give me a response.”

With that, Gadot got up to leave...

Just then, Lin Yun suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a moment."

Gadot was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Yun had made a decision.

The next moment, Lin Yun spoke.

"You're a member too, right?"

"What if, after I join as a member, the organization makes me, like you, accompany men?"

"Wouldn't I be losing out terribly?"

Gadot paused for a moment, then smiled apologetically.

"Mr. Lin is joking. How can I compare to you?"

"I'm just a dispensable peripheral member."

Not long after Gadot left, Black Widow walked in.

Seeing Lin Yun sitting on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought, she asked curiously.

"Honey, what happened to you two?"

Lin Yun countered with a question.

"What do you say?"

"If something had happened, would she have left so quickly?"

Black Widow nodded and said.

"That's true..."

What did you talk about?

Lin Yun stared into Black Widow's eyes and said.

"Are you so curious about my affairs?"

Feeling she had overstepped her bounds, Scarlett Johansson quickly explained.

"I just noticed you seemed a bit troubled and wanted to help you out."

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too..."

Lin Yun's expression suddenly brightened as he spoke.

"Oh, it's nothing really."

“Gadot is here on behalf of the Illuminati. The Illuminati wants to invite me to join the organization.”

Upon hearing this, Black Widow's eyes widened.

"So you're not a member of the Illuminati?"

Hearing this, Lin Yun asked in confusion.

"When did I say I was?"

Black Widow paused for a moment before speaking.

"Uh, it seems you didn't say that."

“But I thought you had such a good relationship with the Empress Dowager before.”

"And considering your actions, I assumed you were a member of the Illuminati."

Lin Yun countered with a question.

"You're not from the Illuminati, are you?"
