Let them offer their loyalty

As long as you ensure that your own development is always ahead of the other party, you can turn the other party's efforts into your own resources.

——How do you say blood-sucking? Blood-sucking.

Ahem, I think I've gone a bit off topic.

The document that Miss Esni brought back can be used as a prop to exchange benefits with official organizations...The security system of the Helios District could be a significant hidden danger in anyone's hands.

I believe that the peacekeeping force will not allow such information to circulate everywhere.

Just as I was thinking this, the elevator door in front of me suddenly opened.

Miss Eiffel stepped forward, appearing to have a document in her hand.

"This morning, someone found this communication device at the entrance of the Alte company's building... I sent it to the R&D department for scanning, and no hidden dangers were found. It is just a very simple one-way communication device."

Hearing this, Jonas became interested and focused his eyes on the device.

"Do you know who left it at the door of Alte Company?"

"She avoided all surveillance systems and we were unable to capture her face."

"It seems he is still a master..."

Jonas had a vague guess in his mind.

After a moment, he turned on the communication device, and after two seconds of signal connection, a three-dimensional projection appeared in front of Jonas.

The projection flickered for a moment, and a young girl about twenty years old appeared on the other side of the screen.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jonas Wetting."

Looking at Jonas sitting in the office chair, the girl's face did not show the timidity that ordinary people would show when seeing someone in a high position. Instead, she looked at Jonas fearlessly and spoke in a very calm tone.

"I am Beigong Ling, the leader of the Dawn Star... Although this is the first time we meet, I think Mr. Jonas is not unfamiliar with my name."

These are very arrogant words. You have to know that the current Dawn Star is just an organization that has just started.

Compared with Alte Company, the other party's forces do not have any deterrent power.

After all, even her predecessor, the Destiny Organization, did not dare to offend Mr. Jonas Wetting easily.

Beigong Ling's words were obviously a bit overestimating her own abilities.

But the actual situation is that Jonas has indeed been paying attention to the other party for a long time, so after hearing Beigong Ling's words, Jonas pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled:

"So, Miss Beigong Ling must have gone to so much trouble to do more than just introduce herself to me."

"Of course." Beigong Ling's tone was very calm: "To be precise, I want to make a bet with Mr. Jonas."

"..." Jonas did not speak, but tapped the table lightly with his fingers, waiting for the other party to explain further.

"Due to your rude behavior, the Morning Star has suffered considerable damage."

Beigong Ling said this, paused for a moment and then continued:

"Of course, I am not here to blame you... I just hope that this matter can be resolved in a more reasonable way."

"so what?"

"So, the Morning Star will attack Alte Company in three months."

As if issuing an ultimatum to declare war, Beigong Ling said:

"And the stakes are the destruction of Alte Corporation."

——Arrogant.

Apart from this word, there is almost no other adjective to describe Eiffel.

You know, the current Alte Company is in the development stage. She doesn't understand where the other party got the confidence to make such an arrogant announcement to Alte Company at this time.

"Why do you think that Alte Company won't take direct action to eliminate Dawn Star during this period?"

Although he was provoked like this, Jonas did not seem angry. Instead, he asked back with a slight smile.

Behind the peaceful words lies a murderous intent.

"This is the content of the bet between me and Mr. Jonas."

Beigong Ling seemed unaware of the hidden danger in Jonas' words and continued to narrate:

"In fact, if I wanted, I could have attacked Alte Company quietly in three months."

"But I didn't do that ... because I wanted to have a fair fight with Mr. Jonas."

"Of course, within these three months, you can use any means to hinder the development of the Dawn Star... and I will arrive as scheduled in three months."

Three months... Even the preparation of a project takes at least three months. Eiffel was not sure whether the other party was crazy to say such a thing.

"It sounds interesting... But isn't three months too unfair to Miss Beigong Ling?"

Jonas laughed and asked.

"I wouldn't mind doubling this time."

Eiffel looked up at Jonas, seemingly unable to understand his boss's train of thought.

But thinking that even if the time was doubled, it would only be six months, Eiffel just opened his mouth and didn't say anything more.

In Eiffel's opinion, Jonas's behavior was just like a child playing house. Even if this so-called Dawn Star was given six months to develop, it would not be able to cause any trouble.

Is there any difference between letting the other party survive for another six months and destroying the other party right now?

Miss Eiffel did not know that after the capture of the center of Helios, the Dawn Star had already grown to a point where its power could not be underestimated, otherwise she would never have let Jonas make such a reckless bet.

However, Beigong Ling, who heard Jonas' words, thought that he was looking down on her and humiliating her, and said with a sneer:

"Before I say these words, I need to remind Mr. Jonas that you may not even be able to find the base of the Dawn Star right now."

"After Jonas can find us, he will be so generous as to change the terms of the bet."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the call and the virtual projection disappeared.

Eiffel, who was standing by, finally had a chance and couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Jonas really going to fulfill that so-called bet?"

Jonas put his feet on the table, leaned back, and said with a smile:

"Now that we have the initiative, don't we have the final say on when to take action?"

When Jonas really feels that he is losing control of the situation, he will probably be the first one to break the contract.

Hearing this, Eiffel breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Mr. Jonas was still the Mr. Jonas with no bottom line, and his shamelessness was reassuring.

Jonas then remembered what the girl had just said.

——Now you may not even be able to find the base of the Morning Star.

He couldn't help but laugh, tapping the table lightly as he thought.

Before realizing the so-called bet, you have to give the other party a warning first...

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

Helios District.

Somewhere in the stronghold of Dawnlight.

Beigong Ling turned off the communication, but her chest was still heaving, echoing the girl's emotions.

The other party's arrogant attitude was disgusting. The rumors in District 25 were indeed correct. Jonas Wetting was an extremely arrogant and bad person.

Mika, who was in charge of technical support, saw his leader's expression and probably guessed what had just happened in the communication.

"So the other party didn't agree to our conditions?"

Hearing Mika's question, Beigong Ling paused for a moment, then said:

"accepted."

"Then why are you so angry?"

"Because Mr. Jonas's attitude doesn't seem to regard us as enemies."

Beigong Ling said this, and then shook her head, as if she felt that it was a bit irrational to be angry about such a thing:

"Of course, a big part of the reason is that Mr. Jonas really has a talent for offending people."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Mika laughed. "The more time he gives us, the greater our chances of winning, right?"

Beigong Ling looked at Mika helplessly.

The more time the other party gives you, the less he or she takes this so-called bet seriously.

Of course, Beigong Ling did not explain this to Mika. She just shook her head, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

The next day, at the Dawn Star stronghold.

The guard found a communication device at the door that was sent by mail.

Beigong Ling felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she heard the news, and she came to the department responsible for disassembly research.

To ensure safety, the research department conducted an explosive test before the communication device was completely disassembled, and only started disassembly and research after confirming that there was no problem with the device.

Beigong Ling was watching the dismantling results from the side.

When the disassembly was halfway through, a part similar to a timer appeared inside the device for some reason.

The moment she noticed something was wrong, Beigong Ling's heart was filled with alarm and she shouted loudly:

"Everyone, get down!"

Hearing this, the researchers were so frightened that they subconsciously threw away the communication device they were disassembling and squatted on the ground.

The communication device began to smoke the moment it was thrown out, and the timer on it returned to zero.

Beigong Ling lay down behind the shelter, her heart almost jumping out of her throat, but nothing happened for a long time.

After the communication device started to smoke, a burst of light music was heard. As the music ended, the small ball in the center of the communication device exploded, spraying out ribbons and sequins.

——Dudu

Those researchers, including Beigong Ling, had a look of surprise on their faces.

Then a man's voice was heard coming from the small ball. This familiar voice made Beigong Ling's expression even more shocked.

"Do you like this gift, Miss Beigong Ling? It's just a joke, I hope you don't mind."

"Also, I think what Miss Beigong Ling said yesterday was biased... After all, if I wanted to, the gift I gave Miss Beigong Ling today wouldn't be so cute."

"Finally, I wish you a wonderful weekend."

"—— Jonas Wettin"

As the sound continued to play, the astonishment on Beigong Ling's face gradually recovered.

"Ms. Beigong?"

After realizing that there was no danger, Mika tentatively called out Beigong Ling.

But Beigong Ling just took a deep breath and said:

"Send a text message to Jonas Wetting from an anonymous account..."

"I want to ask if his previous statement about changing the deadline to six months still counts..."

——This is not called giving in, it’s just a strategic change of plan.

Miss Beigong Ling comforted herself in this way.

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

On the other hand, Jonas naturally received news from the Helios district.

But he ignored it and put it aside.

This was a rare experience for Jonas of the resentment coming from the Son of Destiny... no, the Daughter of Destiny. The feeling was very subtle, but now was obviously not the time to care about these things.

Just as Jonas has always thought, instead of thinking about how to balance the enemy, it is better to think about how to develop oneself.

The temporary psychic potion developed by Miss Rui...let's call it the Alte compound potion, undoubtedly plays a vital role in the development of Alte Company.

What Jonas needs to do now is to go to the Arbitration Bureau and meet with the main messenger of the Arbitration Bureau.

This kind of visit without notifying the other party is strictly speaking an uninvited visit.

But transactions always have to retain a certain degree of mystery.

After taking an experimental sample from the biological laboratory, Jonas took Miss Esni and left Alte Company.
