Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Gopher: "Whitker, why aren't you saying anything?"

Whittaker, the head of the Hidden Night Thrush family, was the calmest, as if he didn't care whether "Pinocone" was destroyed or not: "What's done is done. The most urgent thing is to find a way to resolve the crisis, not to pursue the responsibility that has already been unclear."

Don Wyatt couldn't help but speak up again: "Mr. Otti, you yourself said that the one who truly imprisoned that genius was himself. The 'Genius Club' has no reason to hold Pinocchio accountable for that, right? Can't they clarify that?"

As everyone stared at him as if he were a fool, the head of the hound family spoke softer and softer until his voice was barely audible.

Maefen, the head of the Iris family, couldn't help but shake her head. This guy's muscles have grown into his brain; he's hopeless.

The Erudite Society has complex factions, and at first it was indeed depicted as an ugly character, but then it was realized that someone who is one in a million could not possibly be so ugly, so it was later redeemed.

Oppenheimer was added as a comparison with the new generation.

Chapter 313 The one who tied the knot must untie it

But Iris and the hound got along quite well, and Maeveen once again came to the rescue, explaining to Don Wyatt: "Logically, that's how it is, but do you think geniuses are reasonable? Chadwick was imprisoned and died at Pinocchio, that's a fact."

Maefn: "I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'I no longer care to distinguish right from wrong.'"

Otto Iverfar: "That's right! Exactly. The cause and the process are irrelevant; what matters is the result. It's a fact that Chadwick died in Pinocchio, and it's also a fact that his memory bubble remains in Pinocchio!"

"Geniuses don't reason with you."

If things really come to a head, even a genius will only talk to you about physics.

Company: Seriously? You're under so much pressure? Even if we don't bomb those civilizations, they'll still die at the hands of the legion. Oh well, what can you do when you're a genius? Just find an excuse to go to Pinocchio to relax.

Family: Aren't we buddies? Do you think we have the ability to lock up a genius? Fine, there's no room for refusal. We'll just send a couple of hounds as a formality.

Company & Family: "*Please turn on your microphone to communicate*" What does it mean to shut it down completely?

Don Wyatt: "What should we do then? Should we deal with Chadwick's memory first?"

Whittaker said expressionlessly, "If you don't have a brain, you don't have to speak. You don't have to show how low your IQ is."

Maeve looked at Don Wyatt with the kind of loving gaze one would give a child with intellectual disabilities.

Iris's skill in tuning allowed him to remain calm and composed.

It's as if the hound lineage's brain degenerates with each generation, while its muscles evolve.

It's hard not to suspect that these people are influenced by some kind of special meme, that they're simply using their brains to exchange for force.

Old Audi gently tapped the table: "Quiet down, everyone. I'm thinking about it."

This is a seasoned, uncompromising capitalist warrior who has transcended base tastes but is also completely detached from sophisticated ones.

Even though the situation is extremely unfavorable and the crystal could be destroyed at any time, he has never given up.

Through long experience, Old Aude learned that even the most difficult and complex matters can be unraveled, traced back to their source, and broken down bit by bit to find the most fundamental solution.

Although this crisis is unprecedented, perhaps there is still a chance to turn things around?

Old Emperor's face remained calm, but his mind was racing with madness.

Even under intense pressure, excessive mental exertion can cause one to break out in a cold sweat.

Suddenly, it was as if he had grasped something—

What is the root cause of all this?

It was that genius's extremely high self-discipline and moral bottom line!

Old Emperor suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha~"

Gopher: "Looks like you've come up with a great idea, Odi."

Old Emperor glanced around. Normally, he would have kept it a secret, but now—if he dared to do it, Don Wyatt, that brute, might actually throw a punch.

In that case, no one will be able to save face.

A shrewd glint flashed in Audi Averfa's eyes. At this moment, he was not as easygoing as before. The shrewdness of a businessman was revealed: "Now, we need to spare no effort and do everything we can to retrieve the memories of that genius."

"It's not about coveting the knowledge in Chadwick's mind; that's useless. It's simply about helping him regain his memories. Remember, don't do anything unnecessary!"

Maevene: "Why is that?"

Old Emperor sighed: "The one who tied the knot must untie it. Chadwick imprisoned himself. Other geniuses may not agree with that, but he might."

“Geniuses are all proud, and Mr. Chadwick is probably no exception. He wouldn’t think we imprisoned him.”

Don Wyatt: "What's the big deal..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the owner of the hunting dog voluntarily covered his mouth.

Otto Iverfar: "That genius was imprisoned because of his excessively high moral standards and self-expectations. And that—is precisely our only lifeline now!"

"Go awaken him, awaken the real him! Awaken his genius and pride!"

"Then... tell everything completely, tell the truth!"

"Then gamble! Play the victim to gain his sympathy, or use 'moral blackmail'? Either way is fine."

"This matter is essentially a continuation of the incident from back then, betting that he doesn't want to involve any more 'innocent people'."

"As long as he declares he forgives us and won't pursue the matter! As long as Chadwick's morality is truly high enough to disregard past grievances and even speak well of us, persuading us to leave the 'Genius Club'."

"In this way, we will most likely be able to survive the wrath of the geniuses."

The remaining small probability was not mentioned by Aodi, but everyone understood.

Chadwick's imprisonment and death offended not only Chadwick as an 'individual', but also 'genius'.

Given the pride of genius, there is a possibility that other geniuses might not accept Chadwick's forgiveness and persuasion.

And by then...

Audi Averfar narrowed his eyes: "If this method doesn't work, then—"

Gopher: "At that time, we can only hope that the sword of the Infinite Chieftain will be able to scare away the geniuses."

Gopher knew this sounded a bit like wishful thinking.

Although Wuxian Fuzhang is the incarnation of the god of harmony, he is ultimately not the true god of harmony.

His power is essentially a unification, and its upper limit depends on the size of his family members.

Given the size of "Pinocchio", it would be difficult to support an infinite length capable of stopping seven geniuses.

Even the Infinite Mandate was not without its defeats.

Moreover, if others don't know, how could Gopher Wood not know?

The homonym "Pinocchio" isn't entirely pure; if it were actually summoned... who it would kill is anyone's guess.

Even if these problems can be solved, the Infinite Chieftain can only protect them for a time, not forever.

Gofemu Xingzhong was filled with many thoughts, and at this moment he began to plan to bring forward that great undertaking.

However, Sunday wasn't there, and neither were the robins.

Without these two twins of order, the timing would be incorrect, and a peaceful divine kingdom where everyone can enjoy peace could not be established.

Gopher suppressed these thoughts and said calmly, "Let's do it this way."

Audi chuckled and said, "No rush~ You guys go and try it first. Alfalfa isn't very good at this."

"However, this method is not complicated, and the company should be able to think of it as well—to have someone of high enough importance and who is indeed involved take responsibility, and to set the responsibility firmly before the genius is formally held accountable."

"Oh ho ho~ I think... it won't be long before some big news arrives. Along with that news, the company's envoy should also be there!"

Chapter 314 The Sacrifice the Company Is Prepared to Make

Otto Iverfar: "This matter must be handled with utmost secrecy, and it is imperative that Mr. Chadwick be restored to his true self. As for the company... leave it to old Otto—"

Leaving aside the upcoming battle for responsibility between the family and the company that Pinocchio is about to begin.

The atmosphere at the company headquarters—the “Pierpoint” located in the subspace—was not very pleasant.

When the conversation between diamonds and geniuses in the "Garden of Radiant Light" was heard, Oswaldo Schneider could no longer be contacted.

Originally, many company directors thought it was normal. Oswald had offended too many people; the number of people who had a blood feud with him could probably circle "Pierpont" three times.

Therefore, he is usually very cautious and his whereabouts are unpredictable, so it takes some effort to contact him.

However, the fact that there has been no news after so long and we can't get in touch with them by any means speaks volumes.

Grandma couldn't help but curse inwardly, "They ran so fast!"

The current directors and prospective directors of the company also know that Oswaldo, with his cunning, can guess that they will become pawns.

But I didn't expect him to be so decisive.

Oswaldo was ultimately a senior executive of the company, head of the market development department, and a prospective director.

Even if they are to be sacrificed for the overall interests of "Interstellar Peace Corporation", there will still be a dignified ending.

But I didn't expect Oswaldo to run away so decisively. Does he not trust his colleagues in the company at all?

That led to making such an 'undignified' decision.

Oswaldo has reached the top of the company in his career.

The P47 level executives, who are in the absolute sense, are competing with diamonds for the seven-member board seat at the P48 level.

Despite his 'not-so-good' reputation and 'quite a few' enemies, it is undeniable that his actions brought substantial profits to the company.

Since he joined the company and reorganized the aggressive "Market Development Department," the company's market expansion has reached an unprecedented pace.

Countless civilized worlds have joined the company's trading system.

Although his actions were extremely unethical and his reputation was poor, he ultimately made significant contributions to the company. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been qualified to compete with the custody order officer for a seat on the board of directors.

If Oswald is willing to dedicate himself to the cause of 'preservation' and 'peace' of the world in order to preserve the overall interests of the company.

Then his enormous wealth will vanish in the open, like monkeys scattering when a tree falls, and be completely devoured.

But he will be reborn in the shadows, and in greater numbers than ever before. This astronomical fortune will be inherited by his descendants and his family.

Even after several generations, with different names and surnames, his descendants are still able to regain a place in the company's middle and senior management.

Unfortunately, this previously unknown individual, Oswald Schneider, who diligently committed heinous crimes and wreaked havoc on much of the civilized world, seems to have chosen the irrational path of self-preservation...

The company's board of directors convened again, and this time all the directors were present.

Of the prospective board members and numerous department heads, only Oswaldo was absent.

Even two long-time directors, Louis Fleming and Dongfang Qixing, who had completely retired and no longer cared about company affairs, had to attend.

Hmm~ Louis Fleming, that guy who retired a long time ago, only recently 'visited' Marshal Hua of the Immortal Boat regarding the Light Arrow incident.

Dongfang Qixing has also had an ambiguous cooperative relationship with Polka Kaka.

These two old Dengs' retirement can be described as a retirement that is both a retreat and a non-retirement.

A retired patriarch of the main sect.

The company's senior management discussed many things at the meeting, mainly how to avoid war.

No one would take a Black Tower's ultimatum, issued in public, lightly as a joke.

They also wouldn't think that "Pierpont" could act with impunity in the subspace, next to "Guardian Star God" Kripper.

Subspace can be difficult for ordinary people, but unfortunately, there is a Lin Yi among these geniuses. With him around, it is estimated that it will be no more difficult for the geniuses to enter and exit subspace than to go out to buy groceries.

As for Cripper?

Do you really think the company is the "Fairy Boat Alliance" and Cripper is Lan Na?

The company had considered the same solution as Old Otto, but it would be far more difficult for the company to resolve the issue than for the Pinocchio family.

Although the main purpose of the conference was to avoid war as much as possible, it also discussed how to minimize losses if war was unavoidable.

However, after all the discussions, it seems... there's no solution?

The complete hostility of a genius is troublesome enough.

During this meeting, everyone's eyes kept glancing at Ya Po Li, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Since Oswaldo chose to flee, he's now set to take the blame; there's no turning back.

But this pot is too big; one Oswaldo isn't enough.

You say he's just someone from the "Market Development Department," how can you believe he was involved? And you say he took full responsibility for the whole incident? Who would believe that!
