Their rhythm was disrupted; it was the first time they had ever seen such a forceful negotiation.

Even in the worst of times, the company wouldn't do something like this. Who brings a million-strong fleet to negotiate?

Old Emperor's eyes slowly lost their light; no wonder he only had a pale face—these three weren't working together after all.

"Yes. Obediently hand over all your shares, and then... work for 50 Amber Ages. If you're lucky, this will take less than 10,000 years."

Xi Qin appeared to be in complete control, but his indifferent expression never changed.

"Enough! What are the real conditions?! There's no need to use threats to force me to compromise. What is the company's true objective?!"

Old Emperor was devastated. He had only lived for ten Amber Ages, and this person was asking him to work for fifty Amber Ages right off the bat. Was this even human?

Just as he was breaking down, the door opened, and Hua Wu slowly walked in.

"We have no ulterior motive; we are here to inherit the watchmaker's legacy. Of course, we hope the family can cooperate with us well, and we will not push them too hard."

“Otherwise, I think Mikhail would also agree to Pinocchio’s launch plan. After all, it sounds very pioneering.”

"And who are you? Where did you come from? The watchmaker's legacy? I have no idea where such a thing is!"

Old Aodi was completely baffled. Where did these experts come from? And what's with the "release of Pinocchio" thing? What are these people doing with their drugs?

"The heritage I'm referring to is everything built upon the foundation of Liumeng Reef."

Old Aodi: Taking away shares is one thing, but you also want to move the company and the land away with it?

"What do you want? I'm asking you, what do you want? What are you doing? Can't we talk? If we can, let's talk properly!"

The defenses were breached, and the merits of ten Amber Ages vanished on the spot.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see if I could make my family work for me for ten thousand years, to show the unity, inclusiveness and love of Tongxie."

"After all, apart from the head of the family and the next level of members who might find it difficult to adapt, the other members should accept this contract."

"Oh, I know about your plan for a second independent listing. Don't worry, I think Liuguang Yiting should have quite a bit of money. Besides, I don't mind lending them money, after all, I have plenty of money."

"Pinocone might become a sandbox online game for Yiting by then. But what does that have to do with me? I'm just watching the show."

"Flowing Light Memory Court?! You...! I...!" A bunch of memory-owning individuals were refreshed in Pinocene, which was filled with memory matter... Regardless of what Pinocene was changed into, the privacy of tourists was definitely going to be exposed.

The once-powerful businessman, Aude, who had dominated the business world for ten Amber Ages, has fallen. Faced with absolute numbers, money and cunning are still too weak.

Chapter 423 Emerald & Topa: Ah, it's so satisfying to win without lifting a finger.

Hua Wu casually scooped it up, transforming the moment into a cone of light.

Above the cone of light, Old Emperor's face was featureless, as if waiting for an opportunity.

"This is my proof: I can get all the members of Yiting to play sandbox games. But do you dare to go public on your own?"

"Old Deng, please choose your ending."

"They put up a stubborn resistance, and were then turned into history by the galactic coalition forces outside Asdna."

"After going public on its own and being heavily bought by Yiting, Pinocchio became a small benevolent company."

"Or should I hand over everything and then work for ten thousand years?"

Old Emperor was sweating profusely. He had never seen such a blatant robbery before, let alone one that could be associated with Yi Ting's gang of shady voyeurs.

At this moment, he desperately hoped that the AFK Toppa and Emerald could offer him a different path.

But things didn't go as planned, and the two of them actually went offline.

There was no way around it; these numbers... they didn't dare to intervene in the rounds. The numbers were too overwhelming, and the company's threats of public opinion were as innocent as a little rabbit in the face of such tactics.

Jade is now a bit unsure of what to do. She came here to pull out nails, but before she arrived, she was told there was a utility pole there.

Upon arriving at the scene, the utility pole had smashed the nail into a metal disc, and then a new iron tower appeared, which smashed the metal disc into useless scrap metal.

This left her, wielding the hammer, feeling lost and disoriented, so she simply went AFK.

Topa seemed to have been AFK for a while, but in reality, she was stunned. Could someone really make their client work for them for ten thousand years?

This negotiation was devoid of any skill; it was all about numerical superiority. The two sides were at the table... no, one side couldn't even get to the table.

“Old Deng, the fleet’s missiles have been launched. If you promise me now, I can guarantee Pinocchio will be unharmed. Otherwise, prepare for the real thing.”

Hearing Hua Wu's words, Old Emperor Ao pointed at Xi Qin, his anger barely contained, "You...you didn't obey..."

"It's been two and a half minutes already, I'm already being polite by not leaving. Also, I hate it when people point fingers at me!"

"Shh-"

An invisible pressure crushed half of Old Audi's finger, and the pale blue, iridescent essence dripped onto the dark red carpet.

"I...promised...your...request..."

“Very good, we will keep our promise and intercept those memory bombs. Those bombs will become a 24-minute fireworks display, adding a myriad of colors to the success of this negotiation.”

"8000 shots per second, this will be Pinocchio's grandest and longest fireworks display ever. Enjoy the show."

After signing the contract, old Audrey collapsed onto the sofa.

Three seconds before the missile struck the barrier outside Pinocchio, Hua Wu looked at Xi Qin.

"Come on, give me a high five!"

"Hmm? High five!"

"Snapped--"

After the applause, colorful fireworks filled the sky, visible from anywhere in Pinocchio.

The beautiful starry sky became a colorful palette at this moment.

Looking at the old man, whose face had lost its color and turned ashen, both Toppa and Emerald could sense his despair.

And the cone of light on the table recorded this moment.

The lower right quarter of the area shows an old man with lifeless eyes, like a dying man.

The bottom left quarter area shows the topaz and jade being checked against the terms.

The upper half of the screen shows Hua Wu and Xi Qin's backs as they high-five.

And at the very top, there are colorful fireworks outside the window.

docking platform —

The Starry Sky Duo, who had just stepped out of the carriage, were taken aback by the scene.

"What...what's going on?"

"It feels... a bit like light pollution. And what's with the fireworks but no sound? Did someone press my volume button?"

"We haven't even entered the bath yet, so this is reality... Is this something you can see without entering a dream?"

"This might be Pinocchio's last dance before it goes bankrupt," Xing said, pulling up a list of Pinocchio's stock.

She handed the phone to Qiong, "Look, this thing has become a straight line. It started at 20 billion credit points per share, and now it's down to 10 credit points per share, down to one twenty-thousandth of what it used to be."

Qiong looked at the item as if it were a discounted item in a supermarket. "I think it's a good time to buy at rock-bottom prices. Why don't we give it a try? Otherwise, I don't know how to spend these 2000 billion in sand gold."

"Are you stupid? Can't you see this thing is still falling?! And it's not tradable right now. So, based on my guess, Pinocchio is most likely doomed."

"Did you see those fireworks filling the sky? They are Pinocchio's silent weeping and tears. So..."

Qiong looked at Xing with a puzzled expression. "So what?"

"Can I borrow your hat?"

Qiong didn't understand, but still handed the hat to Xing, "Why are you taking my hat? Are you going to dance?"

Xing put on her hat and pulled Qiong into the portal.

"Only by standing on high ground can you see further and wider."

The rooftop of the Daydream Hotel is one of the few filming locations.

"Let's give the family a thumbs up!"

"Hey sis, just skip to one, and I'll shoot it frame by frame for you."

"Yes, that's right. I'll take a picture for you later."

Some people lie on the sofa worrying about the future, some clap and dance in the dazzling fireworks night, some carefully check the densely packed contracts and agreements, and some are tied to cold iron benches with thorns and iron chains, silently listening to "Tears Behind Bars" and "Drawing a Circle as a Prison".

This refers to Sunday and Gopher. Yes, Hua Wu kept his promise: if Gopher could shake the Infinite Chieftain over, he would let him live.

However, Hua Wu did not provide after-sales service, so the two of them successfully became members of the "lao" generation.

But at that moment, the tightly closed cell door was opened. Two people, one in black and one in white, appeared in the doorway.

The overly bright light prevented them from seeing the person who had arrived, but they soon learned who it was.

"Gopher, you really didn't lie to me. But the Infinite Chieftain doesn't seem as powerful as I thought. I'm curious, can you summon someone even more powerful?"

"General Monsoon... I don't know what method you used to restore Pinocchio to its original state. But I know that you are not solely a divine authority... I want to ask you one last question before I die."

"Have you ever usurped the divine right of order?"

"The ruler of all things? I don't need to steal this power, because I've always had it." Looking at Gopher's relieved expression, Hua Wu couldn't help but feel a trace of...sorrow?

"What I want... is just what you look down on... Is this the difference between God and man? It's greater than the difference between man and ant."

"You've come here for a reason, haven't you? Let me guess, do you want me to take over Pinocone for you? Or is there some other purpose?"

Chapter 424 Mikhail: Actually, we are all dead.

"How clever. Yes, I will grant the family immortality, but the price is working for ten thousand years."

"Of course, that includes you."
