NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Why do you want to do this?

Ingrid was puzzled. She couldn't understand the interests and investments involved.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this power struggle puts her at a disadvantage as the CEO. Even if she succeeds, Pure Land will inevitably suffer heavy losses in the next few years, and its influence on the Ark will plummet.

Therefore, the low return on helping her seize power is completely disproportionate to the risks involved.

In addition, they did not share the same political ideals, and the time they spent with each other was even shorter. They only visited each other frequently in the last few days because they needed to use his bed to catch up on some sleep...

Wait, I'm going to use the bed to catch up on some sleep...

When her thoughts reached this point, and when she thought about the lustful nature of a certain bastard man, Ingrid felt her heart begin to beat rapidly again.

Just...just because of this?

"Boss, can you sing the red and white roles? I'll sing the white role first after we go in, and you remember to take over the red role."

"!"

Just when the CEO of Pure Land was becoming as distracted as a ball of wool being played with by a cat, the lieutenant's sudden reminder brought her attention back to reality.

The whole journey was smooth, turning left and right, and before they knew it, they had reached the staircase on the 20th floor of Building B. All they had to do now was follow the man in front of them, turn right and walk to the end, and they would reach the security department's command room...

Bang bang——!

There was only a sudden burst of two rapid rifle shots!

When the first bullet hit the side of a security guard's helmet, successfully deflecting his head and exposing his neck, the second bullet took root in his skin and blossomed into a gorgeous blood flower in the blink of an eye.

Bang bang——!

Two more bullets were fired. Phoenix did not give the other security guard any chance to raise his gun and fight back. When the other turned around, he took his life with the same killing method.

The two guards were cleared out in an instant. After someone made a "safe" gesture, Ms. Ingrid, who knew it was her turn to go on duty, immediately walked out of the safety stairs, walked quickly to the explosion-proof door in high heels, raised her hand and entered the forced opening password of the security department's command room on the electronic screen.

She knew the manual combination to every door in the Tower of Bliss.

She also knew that no one would know that she knew the manual combination to every door in the Tower of Bliss.

The chairman couldn’t guess;

The finance minister couldn’t have guessed it;

It is naturally even more impossible for these ministers who are just sitting there doing nothing to guess it.

The puzzled looks of the two middle-aged men behind the crack in the door were the most powerful proof.

"Britain……"

boom--!

The gunshot successfully blocked the security chief's vocal cords, and the bullet took away the field chief's life.

There was no questioning by the righteous, no explanation by the villain, Phoenix, who would kill without nonsense, told the security chief one thing with his actions.

——Just like how they viewed those security field staff, in the eyes of the second lieutenant, their lives were insignificant and did not have much necessary value.

Outside the door, after seeing the man's overbearing and domineering white-face singing style, the astute woman immediately understood the red-face lyrics that belonged to her.

Just look at her eyebrows standing upside down, and scold with an extremely dissatisfied tone:

"Stop! Who allowed you to shoot without my order?!

The security chief and the field chief only obeyed the board of directors under pressure, don’t you understand this? ! ! "

"..."

No one expected that Ingrid would use this kind of singing style to play the villain. Lieutenant Phoenix, who was taken advantage of, was stunned for a moment, then distorted his facial features, put down his rifle unhappily, took a step back, and cooperated with the other party to play the role of a "loyal dog and death soldier".

"So...it turns out that the second lieutenant has always been your man..."

When the security chief witnessed the shocking scene of the lieutenant who "feared nothing and became famous by killing people" actually obeying his own company's CEO, and recalled the unreasonable behaviors of the CEO since he became famous...

A shocking conspiracy whose specific details are unknown gradually surfaced in the mind of the security minister. He consciously imagined various contradictions that could not be logically deduced as unknown backup plans left by the CEO.

then……

"President, the security department always obeys your orders."

The Minister was completely frightened by Ingrid's "iron-blooded means". He was sweating profusely and dared not even show a flattering expression at this moment. He asked cautiously:

"What do you... need me to do?"

"Tell your people that we are heading to the twenty-fifth floor of Building A. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Seeing that the security chief, who usually ignored everyone, was now standing in front of her with his head down like a quail, Ms. Ingrid, knowing that her intimidation was successful, turned around expressionlessly, continued to maintain her temporary persona, and issued orders to the "loyal dog" beside her.

"Follow me to the Finance Department. Remember, don't shoot randomly."

"……Yes."

Not expecting that he would be taken advantage of verbally, the man who took the initiative to propose to sing the red and white opera had no choice but to smile murderously yet awkwardly. His ferocious and strange expression really made the middle-aged minister's scalp tingle.

This madman who looks like he could lose control at any moment...

At what cost and by what means did President Ingrid receive training?

Will there really not be backlash from the other party in the future?

Chapter 172 Who is in favor and who is against

"The Minister of Finance cannot be killed. That old dog has many people's secrets in his hands. He is more useful alive than dead."

While riding the elevator to the 45th floor of Building B, the CEO of Pure Land, who was still a little unsatisfied with a certain relationship, frankly gave political advice to her "loyal dog".

Then, out of basic courtesy and inexplicable emotions, Ingrid remained silent for a few blinks before whispering:

"……Thanks."

These words came from the heart, and could also be considered as a statement of accepting this important favor from Phoenix.

Unfortunately, the woman didn't know that the narrow-minded lieutenant had already secretly taken note of her. If she only planned to repay the debt by doing favors in the future, it would be difficult to end it.

Of course, now is definitely not the time to repay the debt. A certain rebel who doesn't want to be a loyal dog asked politely: "Who are your scouts in the Finance Department?"

"When we get there, you can shoot anyone who dares to interrupt except the minister."

"Row."

……

……

Ding-dong-

The elevator bell kindly reminds passengers that they have arrived at their stop.

Compared to the security command room where there were still two guards guarding the door, on the 45th floor belonging to the finance department, there was no one holding a gun and on standby.

Behind the one-way glass wall with built-in display function, you can vaguely see the employees fully engaged in their complicated work.

Everyone is busy.

He was too busy to pay attention to the lieutenant and CEO who were standing in the corridor with rifles in their hands.

This unexpected yet reasonable feeling of tearing successfully refreshed Phoenix's understanding of the financial department of Pure Land.

At first, after listening to Ingrid's instructions, he thought that the Finance Department was the same as the Security Department. Apart from the salary thieves, the entire department was only populated by senior leaders who were good at corporate political struggles.

But after seeing that these workers completely ignored his arrival and only cared about the business at hand, the lieutenant realized that the Finance Department of Pure Land of Bliss was most likely a sweatshop.

"Those who can handle finances in this department are all industry elites. Their annual salary plus year-end commission can bring them millions of dollars a year, which is higher than most middle-level managers."

Seeing the second lieutenant looking at her with a look of contempt as if he were a slave owner, Ingrid closed her eyes in silence and said patiently, "I repeat, the CEO of a consortium is not the same as the boss..."

"It's okay. It will be the same after today."

"..."

This is undoubtedly a very murderous statement, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is bloody.

If Ingrid were a bystander, she might think that the man in front of her was too cruel, because simply killing could not solve all problems.

But when these words came out of his mouth and he promised her...

Even the CEO of Paradise cannot escape the extreme temptation of "double standards" and "truthfulness".

"Then I'll take your word for it."

The woman was subconsciously very satisfied with the lieutenant's reply, so satisfied that she didn't even realize that the corners of her mouth had slightly risen.

She was seen holding a rifle in her hand, walking towards the office of the Minister of Finance with the heroic spirit of a female general.

……

drop--

With the electronic sound of the sensor, the induction door made of high-strength glass opens automatically and quietly.

Unlike the explosion-proof gates of the security department, the Finance Department has a clear understanding of its positioning.

If the criminals could break through the security of the Paradise Tower and reach the 45th floor, there would be no point in the powerless clerks resisting.

Like now...

When the reminder sounded, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Giles, slightly adjusted his retro gold-rimmed glasses, turned his blue eyes towards the door, and looked at Ingrid who was standing at the door.

"I'm glad you're alive, Madam President."

The white-bearded old man, who was about to retire in a few years, greeted calmly and continued:

"The security department reported that you were in Block A. Now it seems that Mr. Wadin has chosen to stand on your side."

It was still that familiar atmosphere of bickering, and the headache and disgust that followed successfully broke the joy on Ingrid's lips.

However, the CEO still habitually used the art of language to persuade the finance executives sitting in the room to surrender with euphemistic hints.

"Small fish swim with the current, it's an obvious truth."

"Hehehehe..."

The president's words amused Giles's features. The sound of bark rubbing against bedrock echoed in the room, causing the other middle-aged executives present to show mockery, and then laughed...

boom! ! !

The sound of a gunshot instantly pressed the pause button for everyone present.

While everyone was still shocked by the gunshot, the impatient Phoenix walked up to Ingrid, cursing as he raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

boom! ! !

Gunshots rang out again, and the second unlucky executive was shot in the head. Scarlet blood and broken brain tissue spurted out from the back of his head, staining the glass behind the seat dirty.

"Who the hell is smiling at you guys?"

Seeing these upper-class people thinking they were safe, the lieutenant's blood pressure immediately soared along with his irritability.

"Three seconds. If you don't surrender, you will die."

After saying that, the man pointed his gun directly at the third unlucky executive, a middle-aged Mediterranean man with trembling lips and swaying legs.

"three."

As the lieutenant's death warrant sounded, the executive first glanced at the muzzle of the gun, then looked at Minister Kears on the main seat, and then he organized his words tremblingly.

"me……"

"two."

The instinctive desire to survive and the inertia of thinking that had long been subservient to the minister were entangled, and ultimately forced the executive to shout out nonsense.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"one."

"I said wait! You made me think…."

boom! ! !

There was no verbal protest or execution speech. After killing the third person, Phoenix kept moving the muzzle of the gun and aimed it at the forehead of the fourth person...

"three."

"I will obey any orders from the president!!!"
