LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 22
When the time went back to a few hours ago,
Dr. Zhenli and Sunday had already had a secret meeting in Chaolu Mansion.
Sunday nodded to Dr. Zhenli and said,"Learned professor, since you chose to come at this time, it means that you choose to stand in a neutral position in the dispute between the company and the family."
Dr. Zhenli folded his hands in front of his chest. As a member of the Knowledge Society, he also has his own pride.
He looked at Sunday with an unchanged expression and said,"I don't know, what makes you think you can win me over?"
"I have heard that you and Mr. Shajin did not get along well, and I also know that you are a true scholar who is knowledgeable and eager to learn, and your thirst for knowledge is above all else."
He immediately gave Doctor Zhenli several compliments.
As expected of the head of the Oak family, the art of language was fully displayed in him.
【March 7: The professor doesn’t seem like the type of person who would backstab his teammates just because of a few nice words!】
【Xing: I used to call him godfather!】
【Black Tower: The Knowledge Society still needs to cooperate and share knowledge, but we, the true members of the Genius Club, do not need to be swayed by the knowledge of these people.
Doctor Zhen waved his hand and said,"I think, since you have said so much, you should also understand that a scholar with real aspirations will not lose important things because of boring dignity."
Sunday did not comment. He was ready to use the family's biggest bargaining chip to pull Doctor Zhen to choose a side in this farce.
"How about this? I will give you all the research results of our family on star cores.
You should know that other factions of destiny will never be as generous as our family in giving away this dangerous and scarce knowledge."
【Star: Asshole, just let Dr. Latio study me. Aren't living star cores better than your dead knowledge? Let go of that doctor!】
【Kiana: Huh? I thought the star core was just an object? Is it actually a living thing?】
【Silver Wolf: The situation of the star is quite special. It is possible that it is the only one in the universe.】
"Tell me, what are you going to have me do?"
"I need Mr. Shajin's overall plan. Is this request too much?"
Dr. Zhenli's original position suddenly changed, which made everyone watching sweat for Shajin.
But it seems that they can also understand why Shajin showed a horrified expression at that time.
"Haven't you already taken away his foundation? With all due respect, a peacock stripped of its feathers cannot fly!"
"But I have also heard some rumors outside that the ten elites in the Strategic Investment Department seem to be very united and are willing to advance and retreat together when it comes to the interests of the company. They will prosper together and suffer together. Is that true or not?"
"So I am very curious whether the cornerstone that Mr. Shajin handed over to the family is actually his own."
【March 7: What does it mean? Is it a case of a cat replacing a prince, or stealing the day?】
【Kiana: Wow, what does this idiom mean?】
【Bronya: I told you to study hard but you didn't listen. Now you don't understand when others use allusions, you idiot Kiana.
Doctor Zhen didn't comment but said,"You think the Stone Heart Ten are too united. The cornerstone is more important to them than their lives.
It is the proof that they are walking in the world and have been rewarded by the Amber King to show to the outside world.
Without that thing, the meaning of their existence may be taken away."
Sunday continued calmly,"The more powerful the gambler is, the more we should be careful of his actions, right?"
"Well, I never thought that someone would agree with the ideas of someone like Jin Sha, to be honest, if you didn't guess it.
Then you need to consider seeing a psychiatrist, I know a good candidate."
Dr. Zhenli's sarcasm also proved that Sunday was right.
"Okay, no more small talk, bring it here, this box is specially made, no one can open it except the company's related personnel, but I happen to be one of those who can open it."
As a member of the Knowledge Society who cooperates with the company in many aspects.
Doctor Zhenli even participated in the design of this confidential box, so it is not surprising that he can open this box.
But at this point, isn't this a naked betrayal of the company and the gold dust?
【Padufils: Isn’t that Mr. Gold Dust angry when he sees this?】
【Paimon: Maybe I don't have the mood to be angry anymore, being betrayed by someone I trusted......】
【Gold Dust: You all think I am too fragile. The professor has always been my beloved friend, brother, and cousin.】
【Doctor of Truth, Professor Latio: I don't want to be a close friend, relative, brother or sister with someone like you.
Then, under Sunday's watchful eyes, Doctor of Truth opened the secret box that the gold dust had brought with him and then handed over to the family.
There was indeed a cornerstone inside, which was the golden one of the two cornerstones.
"Sorry, it looks like you were right!"
"This golden stone belongs to topaz, and its alias is [topaz] instead of [gold placer] as you might expect.]"
"So, now that we know he lied about this, do we want to confront him face to face?"
Sunday put his hand on his chin and said thoughtfully,"Well, not for now. Compared to the cornerstone in front of me, what I want to know more is where his cornerstone is now."
【March 7: Isn't it said that the cornerstone is more important than the lives of the ten people in Stoneheart? Miss Toppa, are you so confident in handing over the cornerstone to the gold dust?】
【Topa: I can't help it. I owe this guy a favor. 】 Is favor more important than life?
Of course, this is just a prepared statement by Topa. Just as I said before Sunday.
As long as the ten people of Stone Heart are for the benefit of the company, they can perfectly cooperate in all actions and at all costs.
It is precisely because they believe in gold dust that they make such a crazy move.
"It's crazier than you can imagine. To be honest, Sha Jin had no intention of hiding his cornerstone because it is already in your hands now. See the bag containing the gift money?"
"His cornerstone was placed with the pile of cheap jewelry."
Before he finished speaking, Doctor Truth took out a piece of emerald green cornerstone from the bag and said,"This is what you want [Gold Dust]！"...
"Do you think this is the lifeblood of Mr. Gold Dust? Kevin?"
Kevin glanced at Alicia and shook his head and said,"I just followed the perspective of the light curtain. I don't know how to play guessing games."
"Obviously, this is still the simplest trick."Padofilis, who hangs out in Dusk Street and deals with countless hooligans, saw through the secret at a glance.
"How do you say that?"Qianjie asked
"One is a cat-cat-for-the-prince, the other is far away and now is right before our eyes.
This is too smooth, but getting close to the truth is often not so smooth.
Everyone in Dusk Street knows that pie in the sky is just an appetizer to lure the big fish.
This chicken-wing-headed Mr. Sunday has fallen into the other party's trap."
