Cologne answered Albert with a smile, a kind smile on his old face.

"After all, as a veteran of the company, how can I do nothing in the face of the current predicament?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jackman and Helen out of the corner of his eye, as if he was saying something to Albert.

"Kelun, don't play those little tricks of yours. The company belongs to everyone, and every shareholder is watching!"

It was obvious that no matter how rude Jackman was, he was not a fool to have come this far, he said to Colen with his eyes wide open.

His meaning was very clear. We can jointly control the company, but he will never let you dominate the market and touch his piece of the pie.

Chapter 6: Fanatic Lizard

Looking at the two people arguing in front of him, Albert had no intention of interrupting them, because this was exactly what he wanted. He wanted the lion and the poisonous snake to fight each other, preferably until both were defeated, and then he could take advantage of the situation.

"Ding!"

Albert heard a notification tone in his earphones, and he subconsciously looked at his tablet. An anonymous person actually sent him a message.

“After the meeting, go to this location: 5046.

one person"

"interesting."

The corners of his mouth behind the mask rose slightly. The sender of the message could actually find his private personal account. If he was not a highly skilled hacker, then he must be someone who knew him.

"Who is the one?"

Albert raised his head slightly, he already had the answer in his mind.

Looking at Dr. Helen who was sitting across the table from him, their eyes intertwined through the masks.

Albert showed a moment of astonishment, and then Dr. Helen nodded slightly.

"This lizard is not simple. She actually wants to meet me in private. Does she also have ambitions for the power of the company?"

With such doubts in mind, Albert became a little impatient with the two people who were still arguing.

"Uncle Jackman, Uncle Colum, please stop arguing. Since everyone has different opinions, I suggest that you let Uncle Colum be my personal consultant and give me some advice occasionally. How do you think?"

Albert deliberately used a soft voice, which made people feel pity for him.

"Okay, Jackman, since the president has spoken, let's both take a step back."

After arguing for such a long time, there was some anger in Colen's eyes, but he suppressed it very deeply.

"Albert, if Columbus wants to force you to do something that is harmful to the interests of all of us, tell me at any time, and I will definitely not let him off!"

Jackman snorted coldly and sat back in his chair with a dagger.

After that, everyone dispersed for a while. Before leaving, Colen asked Albert about his well-being. Although he was nice to him verbally, the look in the old dog's eyes made him feel very disgusted. Albert, who knew the reason, felt a chill every time he thought of it.

After all three people left, Albert sat alone in the empty conference room and sent a message to S on his tablet, informing him that he would be back late because he had something to deal with, so as not to cause unnecessary worry.

After a while, Albert found Room 5046 in the company building, which was a lounge.

When I opened the door, I could smell cigarette smoke even through the mask.

"Dr. Helen, is there something you want me to do alone?"

Sitting obediently on the sofa, Albert silently looked at the middle-aged woman standing by the window smoking.

"President Albert, I originally thought you were just a kid, but your performance today really opened my eyes."

The glasses reflected the light in the lounge and covered Helen's eyes, which were as sharp as a scalpel. She seemed to want to dissect Albert to see what he was.

"Dr. Helen, you are joking. I just said what I had to say. Besides, there has been no progress on the company's problems."

"Really? There really is no progress?"

Helen exhaled a puff of smoke from her mouth, and her tone was like that of an old teacher.

"Haha, that depends on how you understand it."

Albert still used a joking tone, but in his heart he was secretly more alert towards the lizard.

Although Helen had stayed out of the matter, she was a bystander and could see clearly that Albert was just playing around.

"Hmph, President Albert, I don't want to care about the open and secret struggles among you people. It's enough for me to know that you are a smart person."

Albert did not respond, he just gently took off his mask.

"Hiss! Cough! Cough! Cough cough!"

Seeing Albert, a beautiful boy who was a perfect combination of cuteness and handsomeness, even the experienced Dr. Helen's brain stopped for a moment and she was choked by her own cigarette.

"Here's a reward for you, Dr. Helen."

Albert smiled proudly, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

But the next moment, a smell of smoke hit his face, and Albert was shocked to find that Helen had pressed herself completely in front of him.

She was looking at him with such obsession that she didn't even notice the cigarette in her hand fell.

"It's perfect, I've never seen anything so perfect, it's impossible, no, no, it's not scientific at all, there are no flaws, let me see, oh, let me take a good look..."

Helen kept muttering to herself, while trying to reach out and touch Albert's face.

"Don't touch it! That's enough, Dr. Helen!"

There was a hint of coldness between Albert's brows, and he raised his hand and slapped away Helen's outstretched claw.

Because he could clearly feel that the other person was not appreciating beauty, but was thirsty for knowledge.

"what!"

Helen's body shrank back suddenly, and she realized how shameful her previous behavior was.

"I was a little rude just now. I'm sorry for the offense. It's my fault, President Albert."

Helen quickly tidied her appearance and returned to her previous position, but Albert could see that this was just a disguise, because the desire hidden in her eyes was like a blazing flame, which made Albert feel burned.

"Originally I wanted to see if President Albert had the ability to cooperate with me, but now I have changed my mind."

"Oh, am I not qualified enough to work with Dr. Helen?"

"No,……"

Helen shook her head, as if she had made some important decision, and then her tone became a little fanatical.

"President Albert, I have decided to surrender to you. From today on, the scientific research power of Hermes will be at your disposal."

Helen lowered her head to Albert, which meant submission.

But Albert was not overwhelmed by this unexpected surprise.

"Dr. Helen, you clearly have a better choice, but you still surrender to me who has almost nothing. So tell me, what is the price?"

"I only have one request, a small, personal request of mine."

Helen replied with a smile.

"Let me study you."

Her expression gradually became fanatical, and she could no longer suppress her curiosity!

"Let me study your existence, let me analyze your perfection. I have a feeling that this will be the greatest discovery of my life!"

"Please, I'm willing to give you everything I have!"

"You can have anything you want!"

Helen became more and more excited as she spoke. Her face turned red and she gasped violently. She even knelt down in front of Albert and wanted to reach out and touch him, but there seemed to be some taboo that made her shrink unnaturally.

Fortunately, the lounge has top-notch sound insulation, otherwise it would be easy to be misunderstood.

Albert was a little distressed. Although he knew that Helen was a fanatical scientific research lunatic, he did not expect that she would be so crazy.

"How are you going to study me?"

Albert's question stunned Helen at first, and then she was ecstatic.

"I don't know, I don't know yet, but please let me follow you."

"No, I hate being stared at all the time."

Albert showed a look of disgust.

"Well, if you have any changes, please let me know as soon as possible, okay?"

"This one? That's fine."

Albert temporarily agreed to Helen's conditions. After all, he didn't think that Helen alone would be able to study himself as a higher-dimensional creature of species zero.

Chapter 7: Lucy the Cyberthief

Passing through the brightly lit neon dance hall and into the slightly dimmed box corridor, no matter how many times she came here, Lucy always felt like an outsider and she could never really fit in.

"This isn't where I belong, so where is it?"

"Epitaph, what a irony..."

Pushing open the door of the box, three people were already sitting in the spacious room.

"Hey, Lucy, you really know how to keep time. You made us wait for you."

The dark-skinned man sitting in the middle of the sofa said with a smile.

"Hank, this is the top hacker you were looking for. How come she's a little girl with barely all her hair grown?"

The tall man wearing sunglasses sitting on Hank's left raised the question directly.

Lucy didn't reply, but glanced around at the people in the room.

Sitting on Hank's left was a man who looked a little taciturn, shrouded in a large black windbreaker.

"Hey, Brother Hugo, as the saying goes, you can't judge a person by his appearance. In Newland City, even a few-year-old kid dares to use a gun to kill people."

Hank smiled and tried to smooth things over between the two of them, then he introduced her to Lucy.

"Come on Lucy, let me introduce myself. This is Hugo, a veteran soldier who is now engaged in the mercenary business. His ability and credibility are quite reliable."

"That brother is Carloen, a professional mercenary. Although he doesn't talk much, he has many glorious achievements. Don't underestimate him."

"Ah."

Lucy responded casually and leaned against the wall indifferently.

Although Newland has many hired teams for medium and long-term cooperation, most of the tasks still need to be done like now, through an intermediary to find unfamiliar people from all walks of life to form a temporary team.

"This beauty is the Lucy I told you about. She is a top hacker expert in Newland City and once worked for Hermes..."

Before Hank could finish, Hugo frowned, "She worked for Hermes. She's a corporate bitch?"

It was clear that this veteran didn't like Hermes technology very much.

"Heh, Hermes killed my parents, kidnapped me, and subjected me to inhumane transformation. What? Do you want to know everything about this?"

Lucy was getting a little impatient. She didn't know why she felt so irritated whenever Hermes was mentioned recently. Scenes from her past experiences flashed before her eyes.

After hearing what Lucy said, Hugo fell silent and said nothing more.

"Well, now that we all know each other, I'll get straight to the point."

Seeing that they had calmed down, Hank quickly introduced the mission to the three of them.

"First of all, everyone who can come here is brave and capable. I won't waste any words. Our main task is to steal something."

"Steal something from Hermes? What is so valuable?"

Hugo became interested.

"That's right, Brother Hugo, our target is Research Institute Zero."

"Institute Zero..."

Lucy chewed on the name, she had some impression of it.

"Institute Zero is the research site for Hermes' top secret project. It has top-level security measures. Even a professional burglary team may not be able to succeed. I request an additional 30% commission, and half of it must be paid first."

Carloen spoke, with an unexpectedly electronic voice, and it seemed that his voice had been replaced with a prosthetic organ.

"Of course, Brother Carron is a straightforward person. As long as the mission is successful, it's no problem to increase the commission by 30%."
