Let them offer their loyalty

Rhine took a deep breath and spoke, a strong sense of frustration making her body feel a little weak.

But soon, she heard the other party speak again:

"Well, that's enough small talk. I'll talk about the rest after I meet Miss Rhine..."

Having said this, Jonas paused, without giving the other party more time to react, and then spoke:

"Then, Miss Rhine, could you please come to the bottom of the Sett Medical Building to greet your trusted collaborator, Jonas Wetting?"

Hearing this, Rhine was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and then he acted as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

——He's downstairs? ! !

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

Jonas stood in front of the glass lens door of the Senna Life Building. It was said that the material of this door was synthesized with the most advanced technology in District 25 and even in the entire Federation. This door, which was about 2.5 meters high, cost Senna Life nearly 750,000 credit points.

This was the most iconic landmark in District 25 five years ago. Even though five years have passed and the landscape of District 25 has completely changed, and Senna Life is no longer the top force in District 25, it still tells of Senna Life's former glory.

And now, Jonas was blocked outside this iconic gate.

——Your identity authentication failed and was not approved.

That is, when a red warning appeared on the identification device at the door, a green sign suddenly lit up above the door and then slowly opened.

A girl with short blond hair and sunglasses appeared at the door. The moment she saw Jonas, she quickly stepped forward and said viciously:

"Jonas Wetting, what on earth do you want to do?!"

Jonas smiled and said:

"I just want to discuss some further cooperation with Miss Rhine."

Hearing this, Rhine couldn't help but clench his fists, but in the end, considering that this was the door to Senna's life, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's talk somewhere else."

If other directors saw this scene, they would most likely think of what happened not long ago... In this way, his already precarious position would become even more dangerous.

This is also the reason why she was angry about Beigong Ling's surrender to the Alte Group. Once the Dawn Star turned against her, the Alte Group would have a means to always control her.

"Why? Miss Rhine, are you worried that others will hear our conversation?"

Jonas was still the same, which made people angry.

"you...!"

Rhine originally wanted to say something harsh, but he never thought of any means to restrict the other party, so he had to give up in disappointment and could only lower his voice and say:

"The evidence in your hand is harmless to me...Don't try to threaten me with it!"

"In that case, why did Miss Rhine come down?"

Jonas smiled and spoke, and the girl couldn't help but choke, but Jonas didn't tease her too much, and said:

"Okay, let's talk about the details of the cooperation... Miss Rhine, can you please find a place where we can discuss it in detail?"

Rhine looked at Jonas deeply, and without saying anything more, he walked towards the Senna Life Building:

"Come with me."

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

This is Senna Life's cooperation reception room.

As one of the few collaborators of Senna Life, Jonas actually had the qualifications to enter this reception room a long time ago.

But for some unexplainable reasons, Rhine did not invite Jonas to come here to discuss cooperation...

After all, the cooperation between the two parties actually involves some forced factors. It is impossible for Senna to smile after being slapped in the face.

Having said that, the so-called "cooperation" this time was actually somewhat forced.

Miss Rhine actually felt more humiliated and angry about the other party's proposal for cooperation.

"Senna Life will never agree to your conditions!"

When Rhine heard Jonas's request, he slammed the table and rejected his request.

Providing unconditional strategic support, strong commercial support, and political resource support to the Alte Group, while the Alte Group only needs to pay "friendship"? ?

Not only would the people on the Senna Life board of directors not agree to such conditions, even she would not agree to them.

"Don't be impatient yet."

Jonas waved his hand and said:

"Actually, what I'm talking about is not cooperation with Senna Life, but cooperation with the federal forces represented by Miss Rhine..."

"??"

Seeing Jonas say even more outrageous words, Rhine couldn't help but laugh angrily.

"Who gave you the courage to say such things?"

Seeing Rhine's reaction, Jonas crossed his arms and spoke slowly:

"Ms. Rhine should know that your performance at Senna Life will not only affect your control over the board of directors, but more importantly, your family's evaluation of you."

"And judging from the current situation, the Senna Life that has been rooted in District 25 for a long time has probably long wanted to break away from the control of the family behind you."

After saying this, Jonas saw that Rhine's expression had become somewhat ugly, so he smiled and continued:

"If it weren't for the failure of the struggle with the Arbitration Bureau five years ago, I'm afraid Miss Rhine would not have the right to join the board of directors."

Senna is still recovering from his illness, so he needs the family behind Rhine to provide him with blood... But Rhine's arrival on the board of directors obviously violates the interests of this group of people. All they want is a force that can help them in the short term, so after achieving their goal, they will do everything they can to kick Rhine out of the board of directors.

Miss Rhine's current situation is actually somewhat similar to Jonas's at the beginning... Although Jonas has never joined the board of directors of the Wettin Group, the attitude of the internal elders is exactly the same.

Of course, although the power behind Miss Rhine comes from the Federation, the power of District 25 cannot be ignored...If Miss Rhine fails, the power behind her will ruthlessly replace her and let others take over the affairs of Senna Life.

in other words...

"Ms. Rhine, your situation is actually quite precarious..."

Jonas' words made Rhine bite his lips.

Compared to the elegant and mysterious look of the girl when they first met, Rhine at this moment looked more like a little girl who had used up all her tricks and was completely seen through.

"Why should I agree to this, you are..."

Rhine was about to say something stubborn, but before he could even utter the word "trash", Jonas interrupted him and said:

"Of course you can refuse, Miss Rhine.... Of course, you must also be prepared to bear the consequences."

Jonas raised his head and looked at Rhine. His eyes were as quiet as a dead pool. He spoke calmly:

"If you refuse, I will let Beigong Ling announce the details of your previous cooperation. Senna Life cooperated with the rebel organization. If this matter is made public, the Alte Consortium will have every reason to declare war on Senna Life."

"Why does the Alte Group dare to ..."

Rhine subconsciously wanted to refute, but was interrupted by the other party. Jonas did not pay any attention to the other party's words and continued to speak:

"It is true that the current Alt Group does not have the ability to confront Senna Life directly, but we have signed an agreement before."

"Once the arbitration bureau knows about this matter, it will have the power to intervene... You know, they have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

"Under such heavy pressure, the board of directors will definitely choose to compromise... Miss Rhine, why don't you guess who will be pushed out to take the blame?"

Jonas' words made Rhine's face pale. She bit her lips and stared at Jonas.

"So, are you sure you want to reject me, Miss Rhine?"

"I..."

For some reason, the words that Rhine wanted to say could not come out.

She wrinkled her nose and finally lowered her head:

"I..promise."

Seeing the girl's red eyes and an expression that looked like she wanted to eat him but couldn't do anything about it, Jonas couldn't help but curl his lips.

——The gauze tsundere kid tastes really good.

PS: Alas, the update I promised last night was not written because the author was drunk. This chapter can be considered as last night’s update. This chapter has been merged and has a total of 4,000 words.

Tips: In the setting, District 25 is a bit similar to Night City, and the Federation is a bit similar to New America.

Introduction: Faced with the increasing difficulty of the abyss, the team could only climb to the eighth floor. Everyone cast doubtful eyes on Huang Quan, the shield assistant. But who would have thought that after Huang Quan's sixth life, he found that he could still improve!

Chapter 274 The Master is Coming

The family behind Miss Rhine...should be considered the first step of Jonas' plan for the federal territory.

Even if Miss Rhine did not participate in the Dawn Star's attack plan in the last incident, Jonas would find a way to design the other party to join in the follow-up.

Compared with the outside world, although the current District 25 is not backward in any aspect, it is still a relatively closed environment... It is neither a city-state nor a country, but it is such an ownerless land that attracts various forces to compete in it.

Strictly speaking, the relationship between District 25 and the Federation is not one of subordination, but more of a cooperative one. However, it is undeniable that the Federation's penetration of District 25 is unmatched by any other region.

This is also the main reason why Jonas wants to use the power of District 25 as a springboard to contact the Federation.

Of course, Jonas's threat against Miss Rhine was not a fatal one. He had no way of guaranteeing that Miss Rhine would always be under his control... This was also the lesson Miss Beigong Ling taught him.

Even if the possibility is small, you should be prepared for a failure.

So after Miss Rhine agreed to his request with a humiliated look on her face, Jonas did not just leave. Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to give up, the former seemed a little angry and asked:

"Why, you're still not satisfied?"

Hearing this, Jonas smiled and shook his head, then said:

"Of course not. Since Miss Rhine is already a 'partner' of the Alt Foundation, we naturally have to find a way to make her position as a partner more stable."

Hearing this, Rhine was stunned, and then he heard the other party continue:

"This is not just for Miss Rhine, but also for the sake of long-term cooperation in the future."

Having said this, Jonas looked at the girl.

Rhine seemed a little suspicious when he heard this.

"So what does this mean?"

After the previous incidents, Jonas's image of being treacherous and cunning had been established in her mind. She didn't think that the other party would be so kind as to help her secure this position for no reason.

Just as the other party said just now, if the other party really provokes a conflict between the Arbitration Bureau and Senna Life, then an existence like her can be replaced at any time for the family behind her.

But if she holds on to this position, things will be quite different from before.

"Don't get me wrong. I just think that Miss Rhine is the most suitable person to cooperate with us so far... If Senna Life continues to rely on the decisions of the board of directors, then the Alt Foundation will never be able to have in-depth cooperation with Senna Life."

"So, Senna's life must have someone who has the final say."

——And this person is most likely a representative of the family behind Miss Rhine.

“And I don’t want Senna Life to parachute in another board member to replace Miss Rhine just after we’ve started working together.

The Alte Foundation does not want to cause any more trouble, and it would be best if Miss Rhine could secure her position on the board of directors."

Of course, there is another very important reason hidden in this sentence. Jonas did not point it out, but Miss Rhine heard another meaning in the words.

——As a collaborator, Jonas felt that Rhine was relatively easy to control.

After hearing this meaning, although Miss Rhine was a little unconvinced, she still understood why Jonas wanted her to keep this position.

The doubts in my heart were alleviated a little, and then I heard Jonas add:

"So, what are Miss Rhine's intentions?"

It does sound like good news that is worth comforting, but Rhine still couldn't help but say:

"Why do you say you can help me secure this position?"

The forces behind her can only support her with resources. If she really wants to secure this position, it depends on her own means.

In her opinion, Jonas's words were undoubtedly a bit arrogant... Rhine didn't think that the other party could give her any support in terms of resources.

"Why? Hasn't Miss Rhine already seen this?"
