At this moment before six o'clock in the morning, an off-road vehicle drove straight into Parkland's territory from the public road in the wilderness. It drove through most of the city along the highway that runs through the city's central axis, stopping in front of the Tulip Building. Several people jumped out of the car, led by Masters, and several so-called assistants. A total of five people reached the sixteenth floor through the elevator of the building, and Zuihou was led by the Parkland family's butler Bai Ni to the hall dedicated to the family's internal meetings.

The hall is spacious, almost five hundred meters square. The furnishings in the hall are relatively simple, and there is no extra decoration except for the necessary tables and chairs. For a large family, this seems relatively simple. But the design of the hall is restrained and generous, which is in line with the calmness that a chaebol should have. The only decoration in the hall should be the huge portrait of Old Brandt on the wall facing the rostrum.

It was a gift from a member of the family when Brandt Sr. was fifty years old, as a sign of the highest respect for the head of the family.

But now, the old Brant, who sat on the podium, lost his brilliance. A face is like ashes, like an old man in the twilight, how can he still have half the majesty of the head of the family. On the left side of the seat, all the important people in the Parkland chaebol are seated. They are both cousins of the elder Brandt and heads or senior executives of various departments in the operation of the plutocracy. To the right of these people, the number was pitiful, as if there were only four of them.

But even so, the members of the Parkland family sitting on the left were all ugly. Although they are now in their family's territory, these people are more like lambs to the slaughter.

This is what Master saw when he walked into the hall.

For two tumultuous hours last night, the key members of Parkland knew exactly what was going on. In just two hours, the Parkland chaebol was put to the toughest test ever. But it didn't stand like a reef in the wind and waves. This time, with the Territory's Soldier Group almost broken up and all the capable ones wiped out, Parkland, a reef that had stood on the edge of the deep water for thirty-five years, was finally shattered by the wind and waves.

And it was only four people who caused this disaster.

In the old days, this was unbelievable. But in this era, four fifth-order powerhouses were indeed able to do this.

When the night receded and the light poured onto the earth, the Parkland family lost control of their territory. I am afraid that there is no more irony than that.

Now, under the eyes of all the members. Mast and the others, who were bound to be classified as paupers, sat down next to Zero in a lofty manner, and looked at each member with the eyes of a superior person.

The hall was unusually quiet and the atmosphere was oppressive. Old Brant, who was sitting on the rostrum, watched all this without jīng, and then under the signal of zero eyes, the old man coughed dryly and said, "I'm sorry to gather you at this time." I believe that everyone knows very well what happened last night, so I won't beat around the bush here. To put it simply, these gentlemen and ladies, including Zero, used their extraordinary strength to get me to submit a special application to participate in our family's business and cāo's work, and it should be emphasized that we did not have a bargaining chip to refuse. So today I am here to announce that these people, represented by Mr. Zero, will own 50% of the controlling stake in our chaebol. And the agent appointed by this gentleman will join us in the operation management of the chaebol, and I hope that you will cooperate with their work in the future. That's all I have to say!

Zuihou said a word, and the elder Brandt gritted his teeth, as if he had made some kind of great determination. And his words also made the family members who had been mentally prepared finally can't help but make noise.

One of the fat, pot-bellied men stood up and shouted, "Why should we give our wealth to these greedy dogs!"

Before he could speak, one of Mast's assistants took out the ****, and a simple note left a black bullet hole in the fat man's eyebrows. The fat man fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that he was dead.

This shot made the noisy hall quiet again. At this moment, Zero slowly stood up. An icy inorganic glow shuttered from his golden right eye, brushing over the faces of the members of the Parkland family. These people, who were extremely excited just now, shivered as soon as they came into contact with Zero's sight, as if they were drenched with a stream of cold water.

"I know you're going to think it's unfair, and it's true. Zero said coldly: "But this is not up to you." Either cooperate with us or all die here, there is no third possibility!"

This is the most naked threat, a method that does not work at all in the old era, but it is the most effective shock method in the new era of exalting the strength of the individual. The weak are dependent on the strong, and in these two corners, the weak have no right to speak. To put it another way, Zero is asking for half of the shares instead of all of them, which is a great blessing in misfortune for the members of Parkland. Therefore, after experiencing the initial excitement and then the shock of zero, they can only obediently accept the fate imposed on them when they calm down.

Next, there is a series of rights transactions. These things are not zero, so he gave full authority to the agent of Master. Master is now a veritable agent of Zero in the wilderness, entering the merchant kingdom of Parkland on his behalf. Master will be involved in the entire operation in the kingdom and will divide half of Parkland's annual profits into zero revenues. And in this income, according to the agreement that Zero had drawn up with him before, he would get a 7% share of the agency fee.

7% may not seem like much, but for an agent, it is already a huge fortune. No one would refuse such a cooperation, especially at this moment when Zero was behind Valhalla. Even if Master didn't dare, there were many people who would like to be the one he is now.

The delivery of power, the construction of transaction chains, effective communication and the regular transmission of funds are not overnight. It is predictable that Master will stay in Parkland's territory for a short time, and his people will join Parkland's circle one after another. From today onwards, the management of this chaebol is no longer an internal issue, and in the near future it will have many more managers outside the family.

And even the forced takeover of this plutocracy by the Dark Council would not change the fact that Parkland's power has been dispersed.

In order to ensure the safety of Master and the others, and at the same time to make old Brant obedient. Zero did another thing, and that was to take the two of them, Hine and Johansen. Hine was the most important son of Brandt Sr., and now that Sauron died, Hine was almost the rightful heir of Brandt Sr. As for Johansen, although his family status is far inferior to that of his uncle, he is the only young man in the family's direct bloodline.

He represents the future and hope of the family, and he is also the person that Old Brandt cannot give up.

Zero casually took these two important figures as hostages for them to blackmail Parkland, which was something that old Brandt did not expect. Originally, he had also considered the issue of hostages, and was ready to send Jester out of the country. Unexpectedly, Zero was so familiar with the members of Parkland's family, and in fact, this information was provided by Matsu.

But no matter what, the elder Brandt couldn't save the situation. So under his helpless gaze, he could only watch as the two cars drove out of Parkland territory by road. Two off-road vehicles, naturally a few people and a master. And in the back seat of Master's car, there was also Hine with an unwilling face and Johansen, who was huddled into a ball and shivering.

The SUV drove south along the road in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and when it was about thirty kilometers away from Parkland territory, it suddenly turned west and drove into the bumpy wilderness. After another half an hour, Zuihou stopped under an abandoned power tower.

"Let's say goodbye here, as for Parkland, I'll trouble you. Zero said lightly.

Master smiled and said, "You trust me so much, aren't you worried that I'm going to get rich?"

Zero thought for a moment and said, "You can't be that stupid." ”

After a moment of silence, Zero smiled, and Master was out of breath laughing. He pointed to himself and said, "Of course, I won't be stupid enough to easily erase the liliang of a big chaebol." After all, you know too much about me, and if you want to get revenge, you have too many things to choose from, don't you?"

"So, it's better to be friends than to make enemies. Zero added.

"That's right, that's it. Master patted Zero on the shoulder vigorously and whispered, "Let me give you a little more courtesy." ”

As he spoke, two gunshots rang out. Zero One froze, looking towards Master's car. In the back seat, one of Master's assistants was putting away his gun. Hine and Johansen were both shot in the head and died!

"Weishenme doing this?" said in a deep voice.

"Take it easy, my friend. Master said solemnly: "I know you keep your promises, but you must understand that in this age of shit, some promises will only make you make the wrong judgment." ”

"Like them?"

"Take them, for example!" Masters affirmed, "and with these two men, you leave yourself with too many variables." Nearly four decades into the Pakland chaebol, their relationship is much more than it seems. It is like the root of a great tree, and the side must be staggered. We just caught them off guard last night, and once they reacted, neither you nor I would know how many unseen enemies there were. ”

Master lit a cigarette for himself, looked at the assistant who was moving Hein's two bodies down, and said, "If you keep these two people around, they will become the most vulnerable to those invisible enemies." Friend, I don't think you want to kill them one day. Therefore, it is better to eradicate this uncertainty as soon as possible. As for the Parkland chaebol asking about the two of them, I will deal with it, so you can rest assured that you can do something else. ”

Zero was silent, and in fact, Master was not wrong. But if you really want to kill two harmless lives for the sake of that theoretical crisis, like Mast, you can't do it without asking yourself. Zero is not a benevolent person, and when necessary, he can shock his enemies with cruel means. It's just that he can't do it like Masters.

At the same time, he doesn't think that Master is cruel, cruel, just this era.

"Don't take it personally, friend. Master gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's all about profit." ”

After uttering this phrase, which is deeply characteristic of this era, Master and Zero waved goodbye and walked to his own car. Zero returned to the car, silent, and allowed Matthei to start the car and drive him back to the wilderness of Asgard.
