"It doesn't sound impossible."

"I'm not optimistic. There are too many people in the Mechanical Hive, and various industries have already become a red sea. Even if you have people, what can you do to make money?"

"This has to do with the company itself - I happen to have a few businesses here that can be developed. Making money will be a matter of time. It depends on whether everyone is willing."

“Of course I’m willing to make money!”

"Then, if you want to open a company, I have to be the one doing the talking."

"Damn it! You are planning to hit your brother!"

"Since we are starting a company, of course there must be a talker - the chairman - to finalize everything. Isn't this the same meaning behind the existence of a gang leader?

What is different from gangs is that a company has a board of directors, and it is not decided by one person. If there are any matters that need to be discussed, everyone needs to vote together - everyone here is a director of the company and has the right to vote.

can decide company affairs.

The most important thing is that as you are directors, you will naturally receive dividends."

A brief silence.

Silence amplified all sounds. Chen Yan collected the sounds captured by his ears and simulated a clearer scene. The amplified sounds seemed clearer at this moment——

The sound of chewing beef, the sound of bamboo chopsticks accidentally touching the brass hot pot, the sound of children crying, the sound of smacking lips, the sound of drinking, burping, farting, the sound of meatballs falling into the hot pot,

The painful grunts and curses from hot pot oil splashing on your body...

After a brief silence, the conversation started again.

"Where's the case record?" This was Li Shoucheng's voice.

"What case record? There will be an amnesty immediately! The news came from the Grand Master of the Choir himself! It will take a month at most! The entire empire will have an amnesty! As long as you become an honorable taxpayer, all past criminal records will be forgotten!"

"Grand Commander, let's forget about this. Where is Baal Darkrod?"

A slightly longer silence.

The depressing atmosphere was captured by Chen Yan through the sound of breathing, and Chen Yan was able to understand the pressure and incomparable psychological shadow that Barr Darkrod had caused on them.

"I've said it before, we old brothers should pool together the money and hire a powerful killer to kill Baal Darkrod! Then there will be no worries at all!"

Old brothers...are you referring to the old gang members from the Monga era?

"This method has been discussed a long time ago and is considered unfeasible. Although Barr Darkrod no longer has the army, he still has a high rank within the logistics center, coupled with his own contribution to Dys Island... his honorary status

He is basically on an equal footing with the Governor. If you find a killer to kill him, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the other big shots in the logistics center? They can punish you in ten thousand ways, how many can you stop?"

"Find a way to tarnish Barr Darkrod's reputation! Find a way to make him accept bribes, and then expose him! Get him out of the logistics center!"

"This method doesn't work either. Back then, Bardakrod used his daughter's life to pay the certificate of surrender to the logistics center - he took the life of his daughter, his only daughter, and the army that he had painstakingly used to raise his life.

, in exchange for today’s position, I expressed my loyalty to the adults in the logistics center, saying that I am loyal, I will never rebel, and I will sacrifice everything to dedicate myself to the logistics center - this is fucking loyalty expressed by ruining my family and my life.

!

How could a simple bribe have any impact on someone so loyal to the logistics center?"

"That's the truth. I feel that even if Barr Darkrod does something illegal, as long as it's not particularly serious, the adults in the logistics center will protect him..."

"Then, he will come to take revenge on us sooner or later." This was Li Shoucheng's voice.

The four people at the hot pot table fell into silence again.

After listening to their conversation, Chen Yan probably understood why Li Shoucheng was so eager to leave Dais Island - his fear and helplessness towards Bar Dacrorod made him make the decision that he "must leave the island chain".

Chen Yan noticed the change in Li Shoucheng's mentality——

In the past, Li Shoucheng was just a gang leader who rose to prominence through bravery and ruthlessness. He might have money, but not much.

Not to mention his past "achievements".

He believed that he was born with a low life and that there was nothing worthy of attachment in his life. He believed that what he had was not worth protecting - precarious money and equally precarious women and gangs. Li Shoucheng could use it for one day and live one day at a time.

Just one day.

If it weren't for the invitation from the impostor, Li Shoucheng might have kept going like this.

His money will always be dirty money, and his gang will always do shameful things.

But suddenly one day, the counterfeit invited him into a whole new world. He had a decent identity, he owned shares of a regular company, and he could get a profit from initial stock investment every month.

Large dividends - you can buy almost any product without going through the black market, without having to worry about being traced, and you can enter the bank, circulate through the bank and enter the Imperial Bank's clean money in every corner of the world!

He became a "big shot" who could enter the logistics center and became a private entrepreneur that he could only hide in the dark and look up to with envy.

He still remembers the meeting in the logistics center that day. Chen Yan took him into the venue that smelled so good that it made him go crazy. He met those big shots who usually only existed in legends. He heard the legends that only nobles knew about.

He received the secret message and saw the helpless expression on Baal Darkrod's face.

He still remembered the sunlight that shone through the open blinds of the Ring of Dominance meeting room that day. It was the most beautiful sunlight he had ever seen in his life - he had never realized in his life that even sunlight could be so beautiful.

.

For the first time, he did not have pure fear when facing Barr Darkrod. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his fear of Barr Darklord was filled with uncontrollable excitement!

He was excited because he enjoyed the gnashing of teeth and helpless look of Barr Darkrod. He was excited because he finally had the ability to resist when facing the death he faced in his nightmares day and night——

He was even standing less than two meters away from Barr Darkrod! But Barr Darkrod didn't break his neck like he killed everyone in the gunpowder store!

At that moment, Li Shoucheng realized that he already had something that he absolutely could not lose - clean money, the industry brought by clean money, and the status that the industry gave him -

This is the reason why he was able to face Baal Darkrod without any harm even after doing all the evil things.

This is something Li Shoucheng never had in the first few decades of his life.

Rare enough to be valuable.

Later, after he left the venue, he was told something by other gang bosses, and then he realized how dangerous it was to face Barr Darkrod at the venue - he was affiliated with Barr Darkrod's security force at the time.

They were already in place outside the venue. Although there were not many of them, the degree of intelligent automation was high enough, and the firepower was even greater than that of a small corps unit with 1,000 people when the island was liberated.

Once he makes any transgression, he will completely disappear from the island chain in any form - completely reasonable and legal - after leaving the venue.

The more Li Shoucheng thought about it, the more he became afraid and panicked. Until he was awakened by a nightmare that night, and he suddenly realized one thing——

Power and industry are nothing compared to life, which is already valuable! I want to leave the first island chain!

I want to leave the scope of the power of the First Island Chain Logistics Center and go to other places, so that I can leave the scope of violence controlled by Barr Darkrod, and I can enjoy my current power and status - I want to be with

Chen Yan discussed this matter. I want to be Chen Yan's pioneer in exploring other areas, even if I have to pay a price for it...

Or...

Worst case scenario - I can sell the initial shares I control to Chen Yan! Those initial shares have appreciated countless times due to the expansion of Z Group! Chen Yan must not be able to refuse such a temptation!

Once I get the money from the initial stock sale... once I get out of customs safely with the money, everyone in the world can get it!

——Chen Yandan sensed these thoughts of Li Shoucheng from Li Shoucheng's complex tone at this moment.

Chen Yan didn't know why his synaesthesia had become stronger. He thought it was probably the fault of the impostor.

From the moment he entered the island chain, met Li Shoucheng for the first time, and heard about the Tie Gang's methods, Chen Yan had been intent on murdering this so-called "gang boss". The reason why he did not execute it immediately was because he had just

Entering the island chain, I am not familiar with the place, and I don’t know the depth of society on the extraordinary side of the island chain. I don’t want to cause trouble and attract unnecessary attention as soon as I arrive here.

Later, after hanging out on Dais Island for a long time, Chen Yan discovered that there was no extraordinary society at all in this so-called mechanical hive. There were only sporadic extraordinary people who were hidden and based on the "No-Fight Pact" not to interfere with mortal society.

It’s just an individual.

This is a small world composed entirely of mortals, and most of the extraordinary beings here are just passers-by like him.

The impostor's recruitment of Li Shoucheng was obviously unplanned. Chen Yan once didn't understand this. After all, the impostor was almost the same as him. Didn't he have a little bit of mental mysophobia? No matter how much money he held in his hand, he wouldn't mind it.

dirty?

The extraordinary power in Chen Yan's hands fueled his mental mysophobia and allowed him to successfully implement his ideas based on violence.

It wasn't until Chen Yan got his body back that he understood the counterfeit's mentality at that time——

At that time, the counterfeit was already being pushed forward by the company's affairs and the renovation of the night school. He had to raise funds in a short time and use enough money to pave the way for the establishment of the company and group in order to resist

Any operational risks and financial risks that may arise during operations.

The counterfeit made such a decision, and Li Shoucheng became what he is today——

He has a bond in his heart, and he will never be able to return to his original desperate and ferocious appearance.

Chen Yan learned all this, and based on this understanding, he understood the motivation for everything Li Shoucheng did at this time——

Li Shoucheng wanted Chen Yan to understand what happened to the gangs on the island chain, and use this as a bargaining chip to let him leave the island chain.

Chen Yan understood, so Chen Yan listened quietly.

"What about one month later?" It was not Li Shoucheng who asked.

"One month later, the empire held an amnesty. We became regular taxpayers of the empire. After receiving the imperial identity card, we were no longer sinners.

Therefore, Barr Dacrorod will seize the last opportunity to liquidate us within this month and kill us!"

"so?"

"So, we have to survive this month no matter what! Not only do we have to survive this month, we also have to gather our forces to reorganize! We have to join forces to establish a company! We will do serious business in the future!"
