"Why are you looking at me suddenly?"
Seeing Caesar staring at him, Si Wang showed a puzzled look. After checking his clothes and making sure there was nothing inappropriate, he urged, "And don't stop talking halfway. I really want to see how you can take over Abydos with just a few clicks."
"Si Wang, do you think I'm a fool? I will be fooled by your provocation?"
Caesar was annoyed by a little girl he despised, but he couldn't vent his anger. Not only was he filled with rage, but his face was also terribly gloomy. "I won't say another word to you. I want you to watch me level this street and flatten the entire Abydos!"
He sneered twice, "If you want to cause trouble for me over the contract, go ahead and do it. My lawyer will have fun with you!"
"I don't think that's possible. I'm afraid you'll have to talk to me for a while."
Si Wang smiled and rejected Caesar's anger, "After all, I need you and Abydos to cooperate with me in the investigation."
"Don't you understand what people are saying?!"
Caesar punched the tank's armor, causing a dull echo, and roared, "Just go have fun investigating with my lawyer!"
Seeing Caesar getting so angry that his eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to lose his mind, the Sand Wolf Baizi pricked up his ears, subconsciously stood in front of Si Wang, and became alert.
After a moment, the girl realized that the person who appeared here was only Si Wang's projection, not him, so she retreated silently and made way.
Hoshino Takanashi took in all the actions of his junior, and unspeakable emotions rolled in his half-closed, heterochromatic eyes.
She silently raised her head and saw the figure standing in front of them, blocking the aggressive Caesar Group. The complex emotions that were surging in her eyes suddenly calmed down and settled into an unshakable determination.
We can't drag this on any longer.
Hoshino Takanashi touched the suspenders that were pressed on his tie and received from his most important senior, and whispered to himself.
The lovely juniors have suffered enough for this school that should have been buried in the sand long ago. The lovely and respectable teachers have gradually become the most annoying adults because of this school full of tragedies...
Feeling the roughness of the nylon fabric sliding across her fingertips, she remembered Heifu's promise, and the laughter and joy of the [Countermeasures Committee] that had increased since Si Wang came...
Hoshino Takanari suddenly clenched her fists.
I should have said goodbye to Shirako-chan and the others a long time ago, along with this school that also brings only misfortune!
The girl looked at the lovely juniors who leaned on Si Wang with great trust, as if they had found their backbone, as if this would give them the courage to face any hardship, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
But it’s not too late now…
Si Wang, who was just a projection, of course could not feel the complicated gaze of the girl behind him. He just continued to put on a surprised expression to tease the nerves of Caesar in front of him.
"Isn't it that you don't understand what people say?"
Si Wang shook his head in confusion and explained patiently, "Don't you understand what I said? I hope that you, Caesar - not Caesar Group - and Abydos will cooperate with me to review the contracts involving land transactions."
Caesar took a deep breath and didn't bother to pay attention to Si Wang who was still quibbling with him. He waved his hand and prepared to have the soldiers of Caesar Group move on.
But his hand stopped halfway, he suddenly realized something, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"It seems that your clever iron head has finally figured out the key."
Seeing Caesar's stiff figure on the tank, Si Wang bent down and made a polite "please" gesture, "So, can you ask the directors of Caesar Corporation, Caesar Loan, and Caesar Construction, as well as the representative director of Caesar Group, to move to Xialai and cooperate with the work of the Federal Student Union and the Federal Department of Investigation Xialai?"
"..."
Inhale, exhale, inhale again, exhale again...
"Si! Wang!"
Caesar's palms were bulging as he grasped the edge of the tank's handrail. He stared at the smiling face with an extremely ferocious look, and spoke in a low, hoarse voice that sounded like it came out from between his teeth, "How long do you plan to keep me cooperating?"
"If what you said [the contract can fill two classrooms] is a description of objective facts..."
Si Wang counted on his fingers for a long time, and finally shrugged helplessly, "Maybe we can finish the investigation before the Chinese New Year next year...right?"
Chapter 141 Discipline Caesar surrenders
Not a year?
Not a year!
"Si! Wang!"
Caesar didn't know whether he was more angry or afraid. He felt as if a nerve in his brain had snapped. His out-of-control emotions made his roar uncontrollably shrill. "You're just an unknown [Xia Lai]. Just because you praised me a little, you really think you're a big shot!? Do you think you're qualified to interrogate me, a director representing the Caesar Group? Do you really think the [Federal Student Union] will let you do whatever you want?!"
"First, I think I'm qualified. Second, well..." Si Wang shrugged. "I can take you to a small island that can't be detected by any detector. The [Federation Student Union] is so busy that it can't even support Abydos. What's more, you're a director of a foreign company. I think it's normal for them not to notice your disappearance for a year or two."
"… Even if I am taken to an island that cannot be detected by any detector, what can I do?"
Caesar choked for a moment, then suppressed his inner frenzy and growled, "Do you know how much time and money the Caesar Group has invested in planning the land of Abydos?! That's a number you dare not even imagine!"
"So what if you hinder my progress!"
Caesar's tone was uncontrollable as he roared. The metal guardrail made a harsh twisting sound in Caesar's clenched palms, and his anger grew. "Not even a day, no, not even an afternoon! Caesar Group will immediately select a second, third, and fourth representative director to continue to deal with Abydos. Can your [Xia Lai] come up with a second, third, and fourth teacher?"
"It doesn't matter." Si Wang waved his hand with a smile, "Don't we still have you?"
"I?"
Caesar forgot to vent his anger halfway through and just froze.
Not only him, but even the Abydos girls who were watching this scene were stunned for a moment and looked at Si Wang with puzzled eyes.
"Yes, that's you."
Si Wang nodded as a matter of course, not thinking that there was anything wrong with what he said. "I think... compared to me, I think you should be more afraid of the second, third, and fourth representative directors suddenly appearing in the Caesar Group, right?"
"..."
Caesar said nothing, but his expression changed from gloomy to bright.
"Do you think what I said makes sense?" Si Wang raised his eyebrows at Caesar and smiled, "The first representative director of Caesar Group."
Can't be angry, can't be angry, can't be angry...
Caesar took a deep breath and tried hard to hypnotize himself.
If I lose my mind due to Si Wang’s provocation again, everything will be over!
But still so angry!!!
"300 of Caesar Group's most advanced mechanical soldiers, 20 armored vehicles, 5 main battle tanks..."
Caesar exhaled all the anger and rage in his lungs, and tried his best to keep a calm expression and looked directly at Si Wang, "Si Wang, do you think you have the capital to take me to an island where no one can find me to cooperate with the investigation?"
“Two mistakes.”
Si Wang shrugged again. Just this simple little action made Caesar's blood pressure, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, rise again.
"First, I don't need you to take me away. I only need the fact that you use force to resist Xia Lai, so that I can use the name of the Federal Student Union to cause trouble for the Caesar Group behind you. Do you think that the Caesar Group will fight to the death to keep you, the first, second, third or even fourth representative director who can manage the entire Kivotos, or will they just kick you out to take the blame and then elect a representative director to continue their plan that they have insisted on for decades."
With every word Si Wang uttered, Caesar's face became darker. In the end, Caesar's face looked no different from a big round black pot.
"Second point..." Si Wang paused and pursed his lips at Hoshino Kotori, "Are you underestimating our classmate Hoshino? Why do you think she can't shoot you down with only 300 of the Caesar Group's most advanced mechanical soldiers, 20 armored vehicles, and 5 main battle tanks?"
The girls in Abydos looked at their senior with surprised expressions, who was always too lazy to speak and seemed to have no energy.
"Hey hey hey..."
Seeing the inquiring look in everyone's eyes, Hoshino Kotori touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle is not as good as the teacher said~"
Caesar regarded Si Wang's sincere praise for Hoshino Kotori as nonsense meant to scare him. His mind was full of thoughts about what would happen to him if things continued to develop as Si Wang said.
After racking his brains for a long time, Caesar realized in despair that unless he could take the initiative in a place where the signal was completely isolated and catch the other party before Si Wang sent the message, if things really got to the extent that the other party said, the Caesar Group would definitely tie him up and hand him over to Xia Lai without hesitation to atone for the crime, hoping to obtain Si Wang's forgiveness.
As for what more covert and detailed plan he would come up with to deal with Si Wang, he would not say anything, but he was definitely doomed.
Not to mention whether he can keep his position as representative director, he will probably spend decades in jail!
Caesar was saddened to find that he could actually empathize with Abydos at this moment.
I fully experienced the powerless feeling of having someone strangled me, waiting to die in despair.
“Si Wang…!”
Caesar gritted his teeth, trying to keep his voice calm so that it would not sound so trembling. "What on earth do you want to do? What benefit did Abydos give you? Why do you have to go against me? Money? Power? Or status! Whatever it is, as long as you take these students of yours and disappear from my sight, I will give you ten times, no! Twenty times!"
"Why are you still obsessed with money and power, which can be found everywhere, even in such a magical place like Kivotos..."
Si Wang also scratched the back of his head in distress, revealing a helpless expression, "Of course, I'm not saying these things are bad, I also like them, but can't you look for some specialty products that can only be bought locally?"
"..."
Caesar took a deep breath, stared into Si Wang's eyes seriously, and asked word by word, "Then what exactly is it that you want to pursue!"
"Friendship, miracles, magic, and..." Si Wang stroked his chin and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Hope."
"..."
After a long silence, Caesar roared in a voice that was almost broken, "Are you kidding me! Si Wang!"
"See, this is why I usually don't like to discuss my ideals and pursuits with others."
Si Wang turned around and shrugged at the girls who were silently watching him, "It's fine if they don't understand, but speaking out will often lead to contempt and ridicule from the other party."
Chapter 142 Telling the Parents
Caesar sat in the tank's cabin with a wooden face. The shaking seat made his pelvis ache. The roar of the engine and the sound of gravel breaking as the tracks rolled over it kept pouring into his ears from all directions.
He didn't know how many times he had heard these trivial and noisy noises in the past. After a long period of getting used to them, he even found that he somewhat liked these chaotic noises.
The crush between steel, the interweaving of gears, and the roar of engines spewing thick smoke all speak of the power and might of the Caesar Group.
His power and might.
But now, he just felt that these sounds were extremely harsh!
The conflict between steel and steel was so sharp, as sharp as Si Wang’s meaningful ridicule!
The intertwining of gears is so annoying, as annoying as Si Wang's chattering mouth that never closes!
Even the mechanical soldier in the driver's seat seemed to be always glancing at him with a strange look in his eyes!
"Can you please drive your car properly and pay attention to the road you are driving! Stop looking at me out of the corner of your eye!"
Caesar couldn't help but swear.
“Dear Representative Director.”
According to the programmed program, the machine responded to Caesar's question with a stiff and indifferent voice, "I was driving well and didn't even glance at you."
"Of course I know you didn't look at me out of the corner of your eye, because you don't have that ability!"
A blood vessel popped out of Caesar's forehead, and he yelled in frustration, "Is your intelligence system so low that it can't recognize that I'm angry?!"
"I'm sorry, dear representative director." The mechanical soldier continued to drive the tank and explained honestly without turning his head, "My intelligent system cannot recognize that you are angry now."
The mechanical soldier paused for a moment, as if it was operating the system at full capacity and searching for a solution to the current situation.
After a moment, he asked, "Do you want to turn on silent mode?"
"..."
Caesar's face turned dark, and he felt like he had been punched in the stomach, and his expression became even more uncomfortable.
So Caesar decided to vent his anger on someone who could understand what he was saying.
He casually tugged at his collar twice, untied his neatly tied tie, to vent his anger that was about to explode, then took out his cell phone and poked at the screen with a ferocious expression.
beep - beep -
Caesar tapped his heels impatiently, making a dull sound.
After the second ring, Caesar's expression became even more manic, and he began to greet the family tree of the guy on the other end of the phone in his mind.
Hey.
"Hello." A polite voice came from the phone, "Excuse me..."
"The guy with the [Numerical Secret Technique]!"
Caesar interrupted the voice on the other end of the phone and shouted in an almost interrogative tone, "Didn't you say that Hoshino Kotori was left to you? Why did I see her hanging out with those students from Abydos when I went there today? What on earth do you guys do?!"
"...From your tone, it seems that the operation this morning failed."
After a moment of silence, the voice on the other end of the phone did not answer Caesar's question, but curiously asked his inner doubts, "According to our investigation, the force you lead should be enough to complete the cleanup of the area around Abydos. Did something unexpected happen? Could you describe the entire process of the operation in detail so that we can analyze the cause for you?"
"..."
Caesar took a deep breath and quickly calmed down his inner anger.
In fact, he immediately regretted what he said.
[Numerical Secrets] Those mysterious bastards were not the kind of people like Abydos who could be manipulated at will. Every time Caesar was in the same room with them, he felt the hairs on his back shivering.
What's more, ever since [Xia Lai] got involved, even Abydos was out of his control!
