Chapter 290: Chapter 214: Highest Level Temporary Meeting
[Second, I am very displeased by this collusion with the Europeans. I’ll give you one chance for the sake of you being a Wizard Professional, but another permanent council member won’t be so lucky. Take Permanent Council Member Jin Yuanxi, for example. I believe you can find evidence of his collusion with Ninghang Technology and the Europeans. Once you find it, hand the evidence over to the Assassin Alliance.]
This was the last message Lin Qi sent to Aishwarya. After sending it, Lin Qi immediately withdrew his Spiritual Vision and returned to the Alliance Mansion as quickly as possible.
Aishwarya possessed a perception-type Ability.
She was still reeling and hadn’t realized that her every move was being watched.
Once she came to her senses, Lin Qi might face unnecessary risks.
In any case, Lin Qi had done all he could. He didn’t need to personally witness Aishwarya’s next choice; he just had to wait for the result.
...
After Lin Qi left, Aishwarya was still staring at the content displayed on her terminal.
The message contained a staggering amount of information.
’First, there’s the demand for Ninghang Technology’s latest research samples. This makes me suspect that on the other side of this connection is some Intercontinental Giant Corporation. Only a power on the level of an Intercontinental Giant Corporation could possibly possess detailed information about the Holy Light and be able to influence it.’
But the second request instantly made Aishwarya think of an Extraordinary Profession.
’A Blood Robe Professional!’
Holding a high position, Aishwarya knew far more than Lin Qi imagined. Furthermore, she herself was a Wizard, so her understanding of the relevant intelligence was even deeper—far more than even the Capitalists.
Aishwarya had long known that the Blood Robe and Wizard professions shared the same origin.
And then there was the second half of the second request.
Targeting a permanent council member who betrayed Asia and demanding the evidence be submitted to the Assassin Alliance.
This made Aishwarya’s mind race with speculation about the identity of the person on the other end of the connection.
’The Eastern Alliance... have they gotten involved? As expected of the Eastern Alliance. To the big corporations, we permanent council members may seem high and mighty, but before the Eastern Alliance’s intelligence network, we’re practically like blank sheets of paper...’
The Eastern Alliance was deified in Aishwarya’s mind. This was partly due to the formidable reputation the Eastern Alliance had built over many years and partly the result of the deliberate implications in Lin Qi’s message.
Lin Qi had intentionally led Aishwarya to suspect the Eastern Alliance.
This would help Lin Qi remain hidden in the shadows, without hindering him from achieving his own goals.
’The first request is to complete the mission from the Highest-Level Mercenary Corps. It’s also for me to further understand what exactly Ninghang Technology and the European Administrative Region are up to, and whether it’s truly related to the Cyber World’s version of the Blood Moon.’
’This is very important for the Wizard Extraordinary Profession. To a certain extent, it could almost directly affect the lives of all Wizard Professionals.’
’I have no doubt that if that moon in the Cyber World’s sky opens its eye, the world might not be destroyed, but every last Wizard Professional would definitely be wiped out.’
’Because of this, this first request could be considered killing three birds with one stone. Having Ninghang Technology suffer is profitable for the Mercenary Corps, for myself, and for Liu Xuan.’
’As for the second request, its fundamental purpose is simply to help Liu Xuan solidify her base of support.’
’Gain Qiao Xi’s support, get rid of the corrupt Jin Yuanxi, and, to a certain extent, control Aishwarya.’
’That’s three of the eleven permanent council member seats in the Big Business Alliance!’
’Once the top-level is handled, there will be huge room to maneuver at this so-called "Asia Political Zone Advanced Pharmaceutical Enterprise Summit".’
’Take down United Pharmaceutical? Annex the Liu Clan?’
’Unless Liu Xuan is an idiot, something like that would absolutely never happen.’
’As long as things are handled properly, United Pharmaceutical might be able to reap huge benefits from this.’
’It might even be possible to drive Si Pharmaceutical—that thorn in my and Liu Xuan’s side—into a dead end. If possible, I’ll also go after the S-Class Pharmacy Literature that the Si Clan controls.’
’This second request could also be considered killing two birds with one stone.’
’Of course, if I include helping the Eastern Alliance eliminate a permanent council member who betrayed the Asian Administrative Region and helping Lin Xin earn some merit, this could also be considered killing three birds with one stone.’
Back in the Alliance Mansion, Lin Qi carefully reviewed the operation and drew his conclusions.
’All that’s left to do is wait. I’ve basically done everything I can. With the Capitalists, Aishwarya, and Baili Xueyuan all exerting pressure together, never mind Ninghang Technology, which has barely reached the doorstep of an Intercontinental Giant Corporation; even a true Intercontinental Giant Corporation would have to shed a layer of skin.’
’As for the Si Clan, caught up in the tide of these events, I don’t believe they’ll be able to stir up any trouble this time.’
’Corporate warfare? The Eastern Alliance is already here, and they still think they can start a corporate war? They’re finished!’
Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision locked onto Si Ranran inside the Alliance Mansion.
Lin Qi wouldn’t be taking much more direct action. At most, he would be involved in relaying intelligence.
All that was left for Lin Qi was to stay in the Alliance Mansion, wait for news, and keep a deadly watch on that pest, Si Ranran.
’Three strikes and you’re out. And Si Ranran has already tried to assassinate me three times!’
’Once the timing is right, Si Ranran can forget about leaving this building alive.’
Lin Qi sat on the bed. Before starting his Meditation to recover his energy, he glanced at Aishwarya’s reply.
[These two requests are extremely difficult to execute, but I am willing to accept. In addition to these two matters, I can help you with one more thing, but I hope that after these are done, you will help me resolve the underlying issue with the Holy Light. I need a solution that can be verified...]
