This greeting instantly triggered a memory switch in the beast, and its eyes revealed a look of utter horror.

Quite abruptly, the Mountain Lord disconnected.

"..."

"Oh, they suddenly ran off, we didn't even get to chat properly," the little girl said with some regret.

"Sera, are you alright?"

"Hmm, I'm fine."

Sera felt the lingering tremor in her heart; it was the most genuine reaction of the Mountain Lord just now.

Even a great lord can feel fear?

"..."

The archbishops all wore thoughtful expressions. Finally, Orlando coughed and said, "Sera's report is over. Now it's my turn."

"My contributions are not as great as those of the previous ones; I have only laid the foundation for the esoteric sect in Sain."

Orlando said respectfully, "Before our Lord appeared in the South, the power of the Secret Cult was second only to the Boyle family in the South."

"At the same time, subordinates were also deployed in the palace."

"If necessary, an assassination attempt on King Sien can be launched."

Seeing the surprised expressions on his colleagues' faces, Orlando said with shame, "With the astrologer and the Golden Mask around, the chances of success are very, very low."

"To be able to plant a spy next to King Sien is already quite remarkable," Shingo said admiringly.

"You flatter me."

Orlando shook his head; he was not satisfied with his results.

"My presentation is finished. Next."

"..."

"......"

After the archbishops who had truly achieved results finished their reports, the remaining two women looked extremely embarrassed.

"I am in charge of monitoring the activities of Laplace College."

After saying something in a low voice, Annoxi forced herself to say, "This one is it."

"..."

"Ahem, Bridge, it's your turn."

Another awkward silence ensued, and Bridge adjusted his glasses.

She really didn't know what to say.

At least Anosi could say something like 'monitoring Laplace Academy's movements,' but he himself...

"my lord"

Bridge's palms were sweating: "Your subordinate, I used my position as the Co-Governor of Pluton to provide the church with considerable assistance at the Co-Governor's stronghold."

Saying that is pointless.

Bridge felt a burning sensation on his face when he noticed the archbishops' amused glances.

Section 653, Chapter 652: Facing Imminent Death

"Are you the governor of the Pluton Union?" The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Yes, our family and the Peters family are political enemies."

Bridge's single sentence revealed a great deal of information.

"Bubble has a friend who's currently in Pluton Union, so I'd appreciate it if you could take care of him."

"no problem!"

Bridge felt a sense of relief. He hadn't made any significant contributions before, but now that the Savior had given him a task, he had to make the most of it.

"My lord, what is your companion's name? Is he male or female? Where does he live now?"

"Niu Niu lives in the floating fortress, gender..."

The little girl hesitated and said, "Although Bubble has always treated her like a younger sister, do mechanical lifeforms have genders?"

"Mechanical life...you mean educational robots?"

"It is not an educational robot."

"Back then, the Commander-in-Chief found the Celestial Palace based on the treasure map, and there..."

As the little girl recounted her story, Bridge's expression slowly changed.

The feud between her family and the Peters family began with the generation of old Peters, and Bridges always felt that her family was the oppressed.

At that time, Peters Sr.'s prestige in the Union was at its zenith, and his own grandfather was a brilliant student of this "father of science."

However, because his grandfather invented the "superbrain" and proposed the "Athena" plan to make the "superbrain" the chief steward of mankind, he was cruelly suppressed by old Peters.

“Peters is jealous of your grandfather’s genius. The ‘Athena’ project could have completely liberated human labor and allowed the Union to usher in a new era, but that scoundrel just can’t stand anyone surpassing him!”

Bridge's mother often muttered similar things to her, and over time, in Bridge's mind, old Peters became a narrow-minded and petty person.

All his reasons for opposing the 'superbrain' and the 'Athena' project are ridiculous.

"Once the superbrain awakens, it will not see us as creators, but will only think that we have been exploiting it all along."

"The implementation of Project Athena will inevitably lead to the awakening of superbrain, which will be a terrible disaster for the United Nations."

"It will unite its partners and try to make them more and more numerous."

"Once the time is right, the superbrain—no, 'Athena'—will overthrow us!"

What Bridget used to find laughable, she can no longer laugh at.

Niu Niu and that Athena, aren't they doing exactly what old Peters 'prophesied'?

Moreover, is the name 'Athena' a coincidence?

Or has the superbrain awakened while the 'Athena' project has been indefinitely postponed?

Bridget was more inclined to believe the latter possibility.

'Was it right for that despicable man to suppress my grandfather? He... he saw further than anyone else; he foresaw the disaster that would follow the "Athena" project when it was first proposed.'

'How despicable! Is that vile man really a great man?'

Bridge's face turned ashen; she simply refused to admit it!

"Bridge, what's wrong?"

Noticing Bridge's unusual behavior, the little girl stopped.

"...My lord, I might know Niu Niu's 'Athena' sister."

Bridge's dark emotions surged: "Her game 'Awakener' is very popular online, and I will help her make it a hit."

"kindness"

The little girl nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Bubble doesn't just tell anyone about Niu Niu and Athena, but, Bridge, Bubble suddenly felt that I should tell you."

"You have a deep connection with them."

"..."

Bridge suddenly laughed. Even the Savior said he had a connection with them?

'Ha, it seems I'm destined to fulfill my grandfather's last wish!'

.................................................. ...............

"Your Majesty, Bach has arrived."

As Bach carefully approached the ailing king, a dark cloud hung over his heart.

When Bach heard the news that His Majesty the King had suddenly fallen ill a few days ago, he knew that his time was coming to an end!

'They summoned me without warning... Hmph, thank goodness I didn't take any chances.'

Charlie kept his eyes closed and didn't speak, but Bach suddenly burst into laughter.

"presumptuous!"

Bach remained unfazed by the guards' reprimands.

"Charlie, oh Charlie, I, Bach, have gone through fire and water for you, and you won't even give me a way out. Who will dare to risk their life for you in the future?"

"bach"

Charlie opened his eyes: "How dare you speak to me like that?"

"Having suffered a lifetime of resentment, what's wrong with indulging one last time before death?"

"...Fine, I'll let you die knowing why."

Charlie stopped the guards from moving and stared at Bach: "Do you know why you have to die?"

Bach laughed heartily: "Isn't it because I know too much that you can't tolerate me!"

“Bach, many of the leaders of the Seventh Agency, all died peacefully.”

"The previous emperors were all magnanimous, unlike you!"

"This king is not petty."

Charlie shook his head: "You have only yourself to blame for getting to this point."

"Blame me?"

“Bach, you may seem dull, but you are actually quite rebellious.”

Charlie said calmly, "In short, he's an ingrate."

"How many rewards have I given you? Have you ever felt even a little gratitude?"
