NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Amid the confusion and panic of all the directors, the Queen raised her right hand to her hip and swept her sharp eyes over each board member one by one.

Then, in her unquestionable tone, she calmly announced an edict to everyone.

"I'll give you three seconds."

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

Chapter 176 Come to my office tonight

How long is three seconds?

The gentlemen in the conference room never really paid attention to this issue.

Therefore, the kind-hearted Lieutenant Phoenix could only raise his rifle reluctantly and use his actions to tell them that three seconds was very short, so short that even the word "breathe" could only be split in half.

boom! ! !

While the directors were still shocked that Ingrid dared to make such a treasonous statement, a cheap bullet and the body of a middle-aged man proved the CEO's authority to everyone present.

Only three seconds of consideration is real.

The promise that you will die if you don’t surrender after three seconds is also true.

Ingrid was not lying, and the lieutenant behind her dared to pull the trigger and kill someone.

Unfortunately, there are always fools who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths and naively believe that everything in the world can be solved through negotiation.

"Ingrid! Even if you kill all of us today, without our voluntary signatures, this table of equity transfer agreements is nothing but a pile of waste paper!"

Darren Austin, the grandson of Chairman Austin, was a noble young man in his early thirties. He didn't even look at the dead body on the ground. He snorted coldly and said calmly:

"Do you really think you can mess with all of us with just one man?"

Indeed, Darren's words would be very threatening and convincing under ideal circumstances. It was a pity that as a direct descendant of the Austin family, he had lived a very smooth life and his understanding of human nature was far inferior to that of Miss Sakura, who was involved in the underworld.

She can't even be compared with Ingrid, who worked so hard to get the position of CEO.

The Queen of the Pure Land looked at her as usual, and her attitude towards the eldest grandson of the Austin family was no different from that of other board members...

So, the lieutenant who was in charge of being the executioner silently pointed his gun at the noble who was talking nonsense...

"you dare……"

boom! ! !

The sound of gunfire answered Darren's unfinished question in advance, and the bloody hole between his eyebrows swallowed up the noble young master's consciousness in an instant.

His body fell straight to the ground, with feigned anger on his face, as if he was denouncing Phoenix for his unconventional shooting behavior.

And Ingrid,

She just stood at the door of the conference room, looking calmly at the old dogs who had united to send killers to assassinate her, her red lips moving slightly.

Then, the Queen's irresistible voice was heard again in the conference room.

"three."

Directors: “…”

"two."

Directors: “…”

"one."

“…Wait, wait!”

"..."

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

"It's about time. Since there's still no news of Ingrid's death, we can basically assume that she has taken control of the Pure Land headquarters."

At the Central Government Headquarters, Deputy Commander Duo Wan, who looked like a warlord, smoked a cigar as if no one was around and laughed:

"Don't you guys like to watch people fighting among themselves? Now you can slowly watch that woman dominate the world."

"I...I think...I can cooperate with...with...with the directors...of the Pure Land."

As the deputy commander, Burnim, whose aura was less than one ten-thousandth of that of the commander, stammered as he expressed his opinion.

"He, they won't be willing to... just hand over the consortium like this.

As long as we... give support... the internal strife within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss will definitely continue.

No matter which side dies, it will only be good for the central government. "

"Bernim, those people are not all fools, especially the patriarch of the Austin family. You have read the intelligence. Even if Ingrid really dares to kill all the executives of the headquarters, she is destined not to be able to kill this old fox.

If we were too obvious about our support, he would be able to tell.”

This was said by a thin, bald deputy commander, who was always responsible for raising concerns but never took the initiative to design solutions.

His main political approach is "I am involved in everything, but nothing has much to do with me."

Deputy Commander Anderson, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke after the bald man finished his statement and said:

"The majority vote in the parliament called for a thorough investigation of the allegations that the military secretly colluded with Letcher, so Lieutenant Phoenix's confession is still important.

He couldn't die, at least not now.

But leaving this man alone is not a solution. I'm sure you all know his combat skills. With his help, those nobles who like to talk, threaten economically, and assassinate when they are pushed into a corner can never be Ingrid's opponent.

I still recommend imprisoning Lieutenant Phoenix, which will keep him under control while weakening Ingrid.

But the problem is that the authority of first-level imprisonment is still too low. I plan to propose to Alnick that Lieutenant Phoenix be placed under special-level imprisonment. Anyone who wants to visit him must obtain a vote from the parliament. "

"I... agree."

After listening to Anderson's proposal, a few blinks later, Burnim was the first to stand up and express his support.

Then, the second, the third... the fourth...

The final voting result was as Anderson expected, with most people agreeing with his proposal.

- Apply to Alnick for unprecedented special-level imprisonment of Lieutenant Phoenix and Commander Phoenix.

……

……

"You stay here tonight."

"Oh ah?!"

When the directors in the conference room signed the equity transfer agreement one by one, the entire Ark was worried and troubled by what happened today.

CEO Ingrid, who holds 42.77% of the shares, spoke threatening words to a lieutenant who was about to face special imprisonment.

"Come sleep in my office. I have to deal with some business overnight."

"Uh……"

The self-disciplined Mr. Fei blinked in confusion, then scratched his head and said embarrassedly:

"Aren't you going to sleep? You probably won't get a good night's sleep after tonight."

Ingrid: “…”

Although she knew that the bastard's words were well-intentioned, the ambiguous words still made the new queen close her eyes and her ears turned red in annoyance.

"Shut up!"

"Oh."

……

Midnight,

The Tower of Bliss, inside the underground shelter.

While Phoenix quietly ate a genuine barbecue supper, he stood behind Ingrid and watched unscrupulously as the CEO of Pure Land of Bliss arranged various internal dispatches of the company at an inhuman speed.

The barbecue was delicious, and the lieutenant tacitly chose not to fall asleep.

After all, there must always be a man behind a successful woman to protect her.

Ingrid needs a sense of security, and that kind of absolute security.

Only when one subconsciously believes that he or she will not be in danger can one concentrate on work.

Click!

Suddenly, there were several crisp sounds. The long period of sitting in a single posture forced the woman's waist and back muscles to issue warnings that they could no longer hold on.

Seeing this, someone stuffed the remaining cumin lamb into his mouth, then put down the plate in his hand very attentively, wiped his hands with a wet tissue, then opened his palms and put his ten fingers on Ingrid's shoulders.

"!"

When Her Majesty the Queen unexpectedly felt the external force coming from her shoulder, the soreness caused by the fascia and muscles being rubbed by the fingertips almost made her cry out in pain.

"You...you can't just make a sound?!"

The woman did not resist Phoenix's sneak attack, nor did she turn around, but continued to sign the document at hand. The tone of her voice was more like an intimate and casual complaint than dissatisfaction.

As for the man who temporarily served as a masseur, he gave a vague answer.

"Oh, I'm eating something."

Chapter 177 Special Level Confinement

That night, Ingrid really worked all night long to deal with various affairs. At most, she took a shower in the middle to make sure there was no unpleasant odor on her body.

That night, Phoenix gained some experience and secretly strengthened his determination to be the man who would purge the Ark's court. In the future, he would look for more people who were good at internal affairs to join his group.

He himself is really not suitable for this kind of job, and in his team... it seems that no one is good at the complicated government management.

From this we can conclude that we must find a way to lure Sakura onto the pirate ship.

……

……

“Ha…Haha!”

Outer area, Qingming Society, the owner’s residence.

Sakura, who had been busy until late at night, suddenly sneezed quietly for no apparent reason.

"strangeness……"

The gangster lady muttered to herself as she picked up the soft towel prepared by the maid from the table and gently wiped it under the tip of her nose.

It is very difficult for Nikki to get sick. After all, her brain is the only original part of her body, and common bacteria and viruses have no way to invade.

"Heh, is it possible that someone is talking about me?"

After saying this, Sakura couldn't help revealing a hint of self-mockery at the corners of her lips. She shook her head and continued to work at her desk to sort out various affairs within the Qingming Society.

Ever since the second lieutenant accidentally helped her eliminate the secret passages and manpower used by the Qingming Society to secretly traffic in people, Team Leader Noda, one of the six team leaders in the society and who always acted low-key, showed strong hostility towards her.

There is no doubt that this group leader is one of the people who continued to engage in human trafficking behind her back and profit from it.

There is also Yuan San who is determined to carry out the planting plan, Kazuo who wants to continue the flesh trade, and Zhai Jian who advocates violent expansion.

Four out of the six team leaders had reservations about her as the head of the family.

The two remaining conservative group leaders who initially supported her are now gradually distancing themselves from her due to the decline in fiscal revenue and expenditure.

In this terrible situation where everyone is deserting me, who would miss me in the second half of the night?

"It can't be that lieutenant."

After coming to a rather outrageous conclusion through the process of elimination, Sakura seemed to be tickled by her own thoughts.

"How could anyone miss a woman who broke his thigh the first time they met?"

After saying that, the young lady restrained her expression and thoughts after a brief relaxation, and continued to concentrate on thinking about her own way out of the predicament.

Time ticks by.

Sakura, who was overthinking, thought she was just meditating with her eyes closed, but the electronic watch silently turned to the next morning.
