"Hey, don't call me that!"

Joan of Arc didn't want to be nice to this frivolous and rude new leader (she accepted it in her heart).

"Then as the Speaker of the Illuminati Council, I hereby announce that Hilde will continue to serve as the executive officer of the Illuminati, directly handling external affairs, and will be responsible for handling internal affairs when I am not around. However, major matters still need to be reviewed by the Council before they can be implemented."

"And Jeanne, I hereby restore your duties and powers as the supervisor of the Illuminati. In principle, they belong to the Council, but you still have to supervise the Council and the executive officers."

Albert's clear and concise speech can be described in a nice way as delegating power to subordinates to motivate them to work proactively, but in a blunt way, it can be described as a hands-off boss who wants to slack off and throws all the work to his subordinates.

"Humph, I hope you don't regret it."

After saying this, Hilde opened the portal without hesitation and left on the spot.

Of course, Hilde hasn't realized what stupid things she is saying yet. In the near future, she will be the only one who will regret it.

The superpower warriors who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What should we do? The leader who led the rebellion left us behind and ran away. Waiting online, urgent!"

"Okay, just do whatever you need to do. I'll assign you the work later."

Albert was too lazy to manage these people, so he handed them over to Hilde and the "good-for-nothings" in the parliament. Although these people were a bunch of fence-sitters, they had lived for so many years and were still capable of doing things. Besides, he could take their lives at any time, so these people would not dare to make any small moves.

"Albert, the transport plane is almost here. We've been playing outside for long enough. It's time to go home."

Lucy's voice was heard, and the light curtain in the hall opened. Lucy's big head appeared on it, and next to it was the internal picture of the transport plane flying.

"Hey! Master, I'm so glad you're okay. You know how lonely S has been during this period... Ahem, worried about you?"

"Crack!"

Lucy couldn't bear it any longer and immediately closed the embarrassing video.

"So what are your plans, Jeanne?"

Before leaving, Albert asked, looking at Joan of Arc.

"I'll stay here and help clean up the mess you left behind. After all, you're not going to manage it yourself anymore, are you?"

"Haha, it turns out that you understand me, Jeanne!"

Albert laughed, sticking out his tongue, and rubbed the back of his head.

……

After many days, Albert, who was rumored to be dead, reappeared in the human vision and instantly made headlines on the Internet. Although the official did not say what the real situation was, the conspiracy about Albert and the Illuminati had already spread privately.

Theories such as brainwashing, cooperation, joining, and even the outrageous theory that Albert has turned the tables on the Illuminati, etc., have been discussed enthusiastically by all kinds of people in major forums and discussion areas.

Albert's return not only brought a rebound in the stock price of Hermes Technologies, but also caused a huge shock within the official circles of major countries. In particular, those countries that have connections with the Illuminati received confidential notifications that the Illuminati and Hermes Technologies will always be in a friendly and cooperative relationship in the future.

At the same time, under Albert's secret instructions, the Illuminati actively cooperated with the world's major powers and major interested psychic organizations to plan to establish a new global management organization to manage and investigate the growing number of psychic events in the world and maintain the basic order of human society.

Eventually, the TAR (Threat Response and Analysis) Foundation was established, led by the Illuminati, with investment from capital giants such as Hermes Technologies and the Shinomiya Group, in cooperation with major economic and political powers in the world such as the United States, Yanhuang, and Japan.

Chapter 157 Albert's Troubles

There is a saying that goes, reality is often more magical than fiction. Just as the large and small "magical" events happening around us show that sometimes the world is unpredictable.

Some people will face a terrible fate after being captured, while some others will become the boss of others after being captured.

Yes, I'm talking about you, Albert.

"Lululu..."

At this time, the new speaker of the great Council of Illuminati, the president of Hermes Technologies, was sticking out his tongue and acting coquettishly towards his secretary whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"No, S. I'm the boss of the company."

Albert's cute and angry look made all the women present feel their hearts melt.

"No, Master!"

"This is a unanimous decision. We can't let you take risks anymore!"

"Uh-huh."

In Albert's villa, the great president was surrounded by his secretary (S), bodyguard (Joel) and employee (Lucy). He was wearing a snow-white bathrobe and clinging to the wall behind him like a big white mouse trapped by a cat.

The reason was that Albert's risky move of going to the Illuminati alone (he told them the plan only after he was caught) caused those who "liked" and "loved" him to suffer a "big loss", so when Albert proposed to go to Yanhuang alone again, they naturally said they would not agree to anything.

"Master, don't be so willful. Now the news is full of reports about your sudden resurrection. The eyes of the whole world are on you. If you still..."

S, contrary to her usual behavior, acted as if she was about to cry, preparing to make her feelings known.

It has to be said that it was really difficult for this usually ruthless secretary to become like this.

"S, you're right, Albert, you're attracting too much attention right now. If you want to take action, you should wait until the storm calms down first. Otherwise, being under the spotlight from all sides may hinder your actions and lead to many unpredictable variables."

"Also, I have prepared a risk assessment report recently and need your approval, so..."

Lucy reasoned with him and even moved out of her job.

Ever since Albert came back, this "excellent employee" has liked to find various excuses to stay by Albert's side. Although he still looks cold and aloof, Albert can still see the other's inner desire behind the mechanical eye.

Albert's eyes swept across S, looked at Lucy, and after confirming their determination, they fixed their eyes on Joel, who was a little shaken.

“Please, please, don’t embarrass me, M. Albert!”

"It's really dangerous outside, you'd better not go out!"

Joel waved her hands in panic, looking obviously helpless. Actually, she didn't want to do this, but when she thought of S and Lucy's coercion and inducement, she had no choice but to get on board.

"Hey, don't think you can stop me like this!"

"As the chairman of the Council of Light, I have loyal executive officers assisting me!"

"Hilde!"

Albert pretended to shout out his executive officer's name.

"Quick, don't let the young master get away, subdue him!"

S knew that Hilde could teleport, so she quickly tried to grab Albert and prevent him from using this cheat to escape.

"Crack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a space crack appeared next to Albert.

"Haha, you are indeed my loyal executive. Don't even think about it..."

"Ok?"

The space crack showed no signs of expanding further, and its current maximum size was only large enough for a hand to pass through.

"Snapped!"

Under the surprised gazes of the four people, a slender white hand stretched out from the crack and threw a small recording device to the ground.

Then the cracks disappeared and everything returned to normal.

Under the awkward gazes of the three people, Albert picked up the recording device, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the play button.

"Albert!!!!——"

The first thing I heard was Hilde's angry roar!

"You left a mess behind and ran away, and you still have the nerve to ask me for help?!!!"

"I'll help you, you big shot!"

“Is there a leader as irresponsible as you?!!”

"That bunch of nonsense bastards are surrounding me every day. They come to me for whatever annoying trivial matters they have. As a leader, you must take responsibility for me!"

After a frantic output, the recording came to an abrupt end, but it seemed that Hilde could no longer be relied upon.

"Hey, Master, no one will come to save you now, so just surrender!"

After being stunned for a moment, S was ecstatic and began to approach Albert with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Albert, I also have some private issues that I need to discuss with you alone. Don't worry, I have already talked to S. We have plenty of time..."

"Wait, what do you want to do? No, don't! Aaaaahhh!"

Albert was a little surprised that Lucy (the mastermind) had also learned bad things and followed S to "bully" him.

……

Yanhuang, Kunlun Mountains, night

The starry sky in the plateau area is often brighter than that in the plains. The twinkling starlight penetrates the thin clouds in the sky and illuminates the rivers and mountains of Yanhuang.

On the steep cliff of the hillside, there was a woman in white sitting.

Her jet-black hair was casually spread out and falling down, in her hand she held a roll of bamboo slips that could be considered a cultural relic today, and beside her was an exquisite celadon wine bottle.

"The thin clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are conveying hatred, the Milky Way is far away and dark. When the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world..."

"Haha, Junior Sister, even though this world is filled with chaos, you should find your true love soon."

Reciting ancient poems about love, the long-haired woman spoke to the short-haired woman who was walking slowly behind her.

"Senior sister, please stop joking with me."

The short-haired woman who was also dressed in white said helplessly.

"Master has been calling us for a long time, and you are the only one who hasn't arrived yet. Please don't keep us waiting for you too long."

"Mm, mm, good wine!"

She picked up the bottle of wine with her slender jade fingers and drank it all in one gulp, then gently wiped the crystal clear wine from the corners of her mouth. The long-haired woman turned around, and the already loose white ancient clothing looked even looser on her. Her curvy figure was a complete bonus.

"Senior sister, pay attention to your image."

The short-haired woman came to the other side speechlessly, and helped the drunk long-haired woman put on her clothes like a nanny.

"Lan'er is such a gentle and good junior sister~"

Chapter 158 Qinlan Hidden Frost

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. A strong man will never return once he is gone..."

The whispers of poetry carried in the cool breeze of the early morning seemed out of place in this noisy city.

"Lan'er, can you please stop reciting those unlucky poems? We are going to hire someone, not to be assassins."

As the saying goes, a beautiful person is like a clothes hanger. Even if she takes off her ancient costume and puts on the fashion of the cyber age, the woman still looks elegant and free and easy, and her every frown and smile has the unrestrained style of an ancient hermit.

"Alas, Senior Sister Yinshuang, Master always said that even if you are not in Kunlun, you should still pay attention to etiquette and not let the outside world blind you. Senior Sister, you should also... stop drinking!"

The short-haired woman called Lan'er saw her senior sister still drinking wine in an unruly manner and she immediately became furious. You know, she had just vomited after drinking for a while on the plane, but she still didn't change her bad habits.

"Hey, don't, don't steal my wine! Qinlan, my good junior sister, please return it to me quickly!"

Qin Lan couldn't bear it any longer and didn't care about etiquette. She snatched the wine jug from her senior sister and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road.

Although Newland is a diverse and open international city under the management of Hermes Technology, it is still rare to see such high-quality Yanhuang beauties as these two, and their playfulness attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"Senior Sister, we are going to meet the president of Hermes tomorrow. Please restrain yourself and don't leave a bad impression on him. After all, we are the ones who are inviting you to be our guests. Please don't..."

"Oh, yes, yes, Junior Sister, you can speak better than the Master. Isn't it just to invite someone? Why are you worrying so much? Besides, the agreed time is not until tomorrow. Let's just have a good stroll today. We stay in Kunlun Mountain every day, either practicing Taoism or reading books. It's not easy to come out for a trip, so we should have some fun!"

Having said that, Yin Shuang ignored Qin Lan's objection, took her hand and ran into the commercial street.

After all, they were new here and had little time living in modern society. The two of them were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around here and there. The quiet-loving Qin Lan was confused by Yin Shuang along the way.

"Well, Master is right. The colorful world outside is really fascinating. Senior Sister, please be quiet for a while. My body can't stand your torture."

Qin Lan was panting and leaning against the wall, carrying large and small bags in her hands, all of which were various things bought by Yin Shuang.

Fortunately, the travel funds for the two as visitors to Kunlun Mountain were provided by a large commercial organization like Shenzhou Sihai. If they had to pay for it themselves, this half day would probably be enough to go bankrupt several times.

"No, I haven't had enough of browsing. In Kunlun Mountain, Master didn't even want to give us an internet connection, saying it would delay our cultivation and confuse our minds. But in the end, he has internet in his own room, so I have to climb onto his roof every night..."

"That chick over there!"

The conversation between two people in the alley was suddenly interrupted.

I saw a few people who were obviously special products of the cyber society - street thugs walking towards me aggressively.

"What are you doing? Can't you see the girls are talking? Get out of here right now!"

Seeing this group of social dregs, Yin Shuang was not afraid and directly scolded the thugs on the spot.
