Chapter Seventy-Four: The Emperor Who Repays His Kindness

After Russell made an appointment to meet Director Torkefat, the danger on Miss Icewater's side was lifted.

Shenzhi Heavy Industries, which was sure that Miss Bingshui would not continue to investigate the case and used the position of deputy director to "buy" Ultramarine, obviously did not want to continue to make a big deal about it.

Buy one get one free from Happiness Island has two sets of state-of-the-art technology, and these two sets happen to be what they are in desperate need.

Closing it when it is good and ending it here is the best for Shenzhi Heavy Industries.

And in the case that Shensane Heavy Industries has already made up its mind not to make any more moves, Tovatus can't fish in troubled waters and make trouble inside.

The discordant, after all, has no hostility towards Miss Icewater herself. He just wanted the Emperor to fight Tokifate...... It would be better if Tianen Group and Shenzhi Heavy Industries could fight.

All this is to muddy the situation, to make the fight between him and the godfather directly into a white-hot state.

Tovatus believed that the Godfather had been able to replace the inferior and become his more formidable enemy, an enemy he would have to return to his position as a director to deal with...... But I have to say that he didn't have the face, and he directly regarded the godfather at this moment as a strong enemy, and began to attack without hesitation.

Although the fate of the "discordant" is only "a lifetime of discord with others", it has never demanded that it must be a fair duel...... But Tovatus's self-esteem made him disdain to be like the previous generation of "Tovatus", choosing a little person that he could defeat 100% and fulfilling his destiny for his life.

If there were a head-on clash between two behemoths of the level of the head office, it would be a war involving a third of the world.

Even if the struggle subsides soon, it will inevitably bring great suffering to the middle and lower classes on both sides. The fate of many people will be changed as a result, and they will be forced to move into the lower town...... The Godfather's plan, which would have taken time to conceive, could be completed in a very short period of time, and the final perfection could be reached in one step.

In the midst of the catastrophe caused by the two head offices, and in the midst of this man-made catastrophe, the power of the Godfather will expand rapidly...... His tentacles can easily spread to other empty islands and cyber churches.

In this way, the godfather can indeed grow into a big man who can fight with him, the "chairman of the branch".

At that point, Tovatus will be able to go all out against himself - he finally has a new "toy".

Yes, it's just a toy after all.

Russell had long sensed the nature of Tovatus, and after learning the secret of Tovatus before he became an elf, he realized the contradiction of this man.

Tovatus's pride made him have to fight fairly with his chosen enemies, and to do so, he would not hesitate to weaken himself to be fair; But in the "game", he does not hesitate to use all despicable means in order to defeat the other party......

He was able to speak calmly and patiently to civilians and even the uncensored, without any arrogant emotions and words, and even obeyed the command of the godfather; On the other hand, he does regard everyone except himself as a toy, and there is no psychological burden on sacrificing at will or even directly starting a war......

He hated the elves, hated his own kindred, but he also had a sense of identity with his elves; He obviously has a bitter hatred for Kamalse, but he has been able to get along with him so far, and he has not relented in the slightest when he has the opportunity to attack......

He knew that his birth was accidental, so he had a strong desire to survive, unlike other famous elves who despised life and death; But on the other hand, in order to be able to complete his game and drive the inferior into a Jedi, he even did not hesitate to sacrifice himself as bait and sacrifice.

On the one hand, Tovatus is like a fun-loving person, who values the fun of the process and ignores the results and morals; But on the other hand, he was like a painful and dull prophet, burdened with secrets that he could not tell others, and there seemed to be some definite goal in his absurd every move.

Russell has not been able to understand the logic of Tovatus' behavior so far.

If you can meet a few more times, you will be able to rub out the personality of the other party...... However, Tovatus seemed to be aware of Russell's abilities, and Russell had not met since defeating Kamalse. And this in itself is also an anomaly of Tovatus - would a normal person believe that Russell has such an ability? Not to mention that Russell didn't say anything at all, as if Tovatus only sensed some kind of horror and mystery in Russell's appearance.

- And here, on the one hand, he wants to strengthen the Godfather to make the game fair, and on the other hand, he is reluctant to appear in front of the Godfather to strengthen the Godfather. This is also a contradiction.

The reason why Russell is so jealous of Tovatus at the moment is precisely because he has not yet figured him out - because it means that Russell cannot predict the other party's plan by imitating his thinking patterns.

It's like walking on a lighted map, but suddenly discovering a fog of war that can't be dispelled...... Under the anxiety and vigilance, Russell's footsteps subconsciously stopped.

So the two confronted each other silently outside the fog.

Compared to Sanity Heavy Industries, Tovatus is the more dangerous enemy.

After dealing with the threat posed by Tovatus, Russell immediately notified Miss Icewater.

Bingshui completely trusted Russell, and did not consider the possibility of "what if Russell was just comforting himself". After Russell said that she had solved everything, she came to visit Russell the next day and thanked Russell for her respectful and seriousness.

Russell didn't care much about that kind of thing, though...... But I did help others, and it feels good to be thanked by others for it.

And after that, another two days passed.

On August 7th, it was another Saturday when I fished and played games in the office and earned three times the overtime pay.

Only Russell and Delphinch were left in the office of the Special Operations Department, and there were unexpected visitors.

That's a strong man with at least a height of at least one meter nine or more. He was the tall, muscular build, and the muscles at his shoulders could even fill and puff up a suit. Although the hair and beard are a little gray, the sideburns on both sides are very gorgeous bright gold.

Just by seeing the sideburns that are very similar to Miss Ice Water, even those who meet him for the first time can recognize that they have a father-daughter relationship...... Not to mention that Russell is actually not the first time to meet the hero "emperor".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mr. Emperor, why are you here? ”

Russell served the emperor a cup of tea with some curiosity.

It was the tea that Delphinium liked to drink, and Russell only drank Coke on weekdays. The office refrigerator in the executive department was also stuffed with Coke that Russell had sent to Coke.

He said to him, "Do you drink Coke?" There's also a coke here. ”

When Russell endorsed the Coke Company, he got too many kinds of drinks that were used for the payment. He hadn't finished drinking his share last month, and this month's share was sent again...... So Russell had to let them send it to the company, and for this reason, he also bought a large refrigerator from the Coke company for cold drinks.

Although Delphinium felt that Russell was a bit of a mess...... But Russell is also arguing.

"This refrigerator can chill more than a dozen drinks at different temperatures at the same time, and each drink can be frozen to the right temperature!"

So in the end, Delphinium compromised. After warning Russell to drink less Coke and be bad for his health, he still reimbursed Russell for the purchase cost of this refrigerator.

Then Russell sadly found that Delphinium only let him drink three bottles of Coke a day, so the Coke stored in Russell's refrigerator inevitably began to overflow.

- Obviously, technology has developed to an era where you can't die if you don't drink water, and this health strategy is too conservative!

But seeing that the delphinium seemed to be a little angry, Russell still drooped his ears and agreed.

I really can't go home and drink again...... Anyway, I could only drink milk in the office before, and being able to drink ice cola is obviously already earned.

Russell enthusiastically asked the emperor Amway about his favorite coke: "Recently, there are cocoa hazelnut flavored cokes, like me, who are easy to get drunk when drinking cocoa, being able to drink some cocoa-flavored drinks is like a beer that will not get drunk!" I also recommend the iced mint with green apple and aloe vera flavored cola, which is especially refreshing after the ice has passed, and is perfect for drinking in the summer......"

"-Hey!"

Seeing that Russell really planned to give the old man an ice coke, Delphinium was suddenly startled and shouted behind Russell.

"It's okay, Minister Delphinch...... Mr. Ultramarine, I will drink whatever you drink. ”

This majestic man, who looked to be in his early fifties, but was actually in his sixties, with gray hair and beard, just sat on the hospitality sofa and nodded solemnly: "Don't take care of me." ”

So Russell took a black bottle of Coke from the refrigerator. After thinking about it, he took out a green bottle of Coke, and poured the black one for himself and the green one for the emperor.

If the emperor hadn't finished drinking, in order to avoid waste, the two bottles would have been his own when he was goneβ€”Russell thought to himself.

"Fill up, Mr. Ultramarine."

The Emperor said slowly.

So Russell poured half more, pouring both glasses of Coke to the point where they were about to overflow.

The Emperor earnestly raised the steaming, snorting glass as if he were holding a glass of spirit.

"I toast you," the veteran hero who gave birth to his beloved daughter in his forties earnestly thanked Russell, who was more than half younger than him, "This is the second time you have saved Bingshui." ”

"Miss Icewater has already thanked me......"

Although he probably guessed what the emperor was doing on this trip, Russell was still a little distressed.

is also a person from his uncle and uncle's generation, and he is still more suitable for the bad day's bad chat style.

The emperor was so serious that Russell was embarrassed to live, so he could only raise the ice coke in his hand in the same way, and seriously reciprocate with kindness: "For me, this is a gesture." ”

"No, it's very dangerous...... I know. You're the ice water who risked dying to help, I couldn't contact you before, and now I can only be cheeky enough to thank you when it's over. I can't thank you enough. ”

As he said this, the emperor lightly touched the Coke glass in Russell's hand...... Drink the iced Coke in one gulp.

He frowned slightly, but his face did not change.

"Is this Coke? The taste is ok, a bit like a mint wine that is not so mellow. I think of the champagne I drank when I was younger, and there was one that tasted about the same thing. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Haven't you ever drunk Coke? Russell was shocked.

Is there anyone who hasn't drunk Coke?

"I don't drink anything unless I have to. Since I was six years old, my daily sugar and fat intake have been strictly controlled, which is linked to the amount of exercise that day. Ice water is the same for her. ”

The emperor said solemnly: "This will be better for the body, and it can maintain the body and internal organs health when you were young." I'm this old man, and I can still charge with two machine guns – that's the result of my daily workouts. Only a healthier body can work longer...... Fame is all fake, only the body is one's own. ”

…… Charging with two machine guns?

Isn't this analogy a bit too concrete?

Without waiting for Russell to complain, the emperor's expression became more serious.

He placed the Coke cup back on the table, exactly as he had picked it up, and even the rings left by the water dripping on the table were nested perfectly.

The Emperor asked earnestly, "Mr. Ultramarine, have you ever heard of the 'Godfather'?"

"I've got a call here...... He may work against you. ”
