Remut.

Early in the morning, Theon arrived in the office of the vice president of the union. He sat down in his own large leather chair, and soon the assistant brought him a cup of coffee. In the old days, drinking coffee in the morning wasn't necessarily a luxury. But in turbulent times, being able to drink such a cup every morning tells another story about Theon's financial resources.

In fact, although he is the vice president of the union, at least seventy percent of the entire Liliang of Remut falls into Theon's pocket.

He is still young, less than forty, which is the golden stage of a man's life. Although in terms of the average shortened life expectancy of the new era, Theon has already entered old age. But he had enough money for Theon to pay for each expensive genetic potion that could easily cost more than a million each. Although these potions do not make Theon an Anomalous, they can greatly extend Theon's lifespan.

In Theon's personal safe, there were always three of them. For the rest of the year, Theon would be injected every ten years, and those three potions would be enough for Theon to live to be eighty years old, or even longer.

Since he has a longer life than ordinary people, Theon naturally wants power. As Master had said, the ambitious Theon would not be willing to resign Remut to the edge of the coastline. In the blueprint of Xi Guo's kingdom, this emerging city should be at the pinnacle of this continent, just like the city of eternal night.

Of course, this is not an easy task. That requires step-by-step jihua and the vision to dare to invest.

Remut's biggest problem now is funding, although under Theon's development, the city has grown from a small human settlement to a medium-sized underground base. But Sheon is still far from Theon's goal, and Remut has a long way to go to become a city of the height of Eternal Night.

First, it needs a lot of money to allow the city to expand and grow. Where will the money come from? If the first phase of start-up capital is to be reached through the pure water output of Remut itself and the arms sold by the small arsenals on a large scale, Remut will have to operate for at least 20 years without making a single mistake. It had been too long for Theon, so he had only one other option.

That is to attract other companies or nobles to invest, but Remut is still an obscure base at the moment, not to mention compared to fortress cities like Phoenix, and even Titan City is much more well-known than it. To attract the attention of investors, Remut must do something.

Whether it is genetic research that is one step ahead of others, or absolute force across the continent. Whatever it was, Theon had to show Remut's extraordinary side. But you know, limited by various conditions, Theon has not been able to do anything that can attract investment.

Of course, the recently cleared university area is the cornerstone of Remut's future expansion. But Theon's actions ended there, and the financial budget did not allow him to immediately devote himself to the development of the university town.

Recently, though, the opportunity came.

The opportunity came from a mercenary who had recently helped clear the university town, and the soldier named Zero Theon decided that he was a talent when he first saw him. And now it turns out that this is even more so, after leaving Remut, this soldier first fought against Sauron, a noble young master from Parkland, and snatched his lover back from Sauron's hands.

Although Zuihou Zero only snatched back a corpse, it was enough to impress Theon with him.

Then, Zero stayed in Raging Reef for two months. During this time, Theon ordered Pera's cobra to secretly observe her, and Zero's "practice" on the ruins of the wilderness was fed back to Remut through signal encryption. In Theon's personal computer, there are still zero related files. From these files, Theon saw a person with great potential.

After leaving Raging Reef, Theon also continued to pay attention to Zero's dynamics. The wolf thief incident in Titan City, and the king-killing operation in Phoenix City...... All this information fell into Theon's hands through unknown channels. Theon's surprise the most was the Killer incident at Parkland, where it turned out that Zero was alive after being ambushed by a killer from Parkland's side, and had entered Grim Reaper's Ridge yesterday.

All information about Zero was terminated after he entered the Grim Reaper's Ridge, and to obtain any more information about him, it would have to wait for Zero to get out of the forbidden land. But in any case, the information that Zero is not dead and continues to travel north is like a slap in the face to the Parkland chaebol, which also makes Theon make an important decision.

He will help Zero reach the blue-collar mountains of the Parkland chaebol smoothly by means of covert assistance. If Zero succeeds in getting revenge on Parkland, Theon will appear as his agent and sell Remut behind his back.

All this, as Master had guessed. But what Master didn't know was that Theon had a lot of role to play with him.

To do all this, of course, Remut needs to invest a budget. So after learning that Zero is not dead, and making up his mind, Theon has already submitted an application according to the procedure.

But when he turned on the computer now and clicked on an unread email, the bright red words "Rejected" on it were so glaring. And underneath it, a name popped into Theon's eyes.

Bruce!

This is the president of the union, Theon's boss, an old man in his sixties. Bruce has always been rigorous, and many of his ideas are incompatible with Theon's radical policies, so he is often at odds with Theon on major issues. It's just that Theon, who has the support of a majority of union representatives behind him, is often able to win these disputes.

However, such a major event as budget expenditure has always had to be signed by the chairman of the trade union, otherwise a meeting of delegates must be convened. It was only after a series of cumbersome agendas and votes that Theon was able to use the budget.

If it was normal times, Theon wouldn't have mattered. But now, he didn't have the time to play the tortoise-hare race with the old man Bruce. This budget must be put into use immediately before Zero crosses the Grim Reaper's Ridge, and it involves all aspects of the operation of intelligence, materials, personnel, etc. These operations require a lot of preparation time, and Bruce doesn't care, but Theon doesn't have the time.

Missing this most haode opportunity, Remut doesn't know how many years he will have to wait for to really rise.

So, he called Pera over.

The beautiful snake was still dressed in a straitjacket, and Pera straightened her body, and when she came behind Theon, she leaned over and asked softly, "Boss, what do you command?"

Theon said lightly: "Old Bruce has lived long enough, he is already old and dizzy, and his judgment is not as good as before." What would everyone think if such a person died in his own house?"
