The aquiline-nosed face became more solemn little by little.
After pondering for a moment, he met the old lady's eyes and said solemnly: "I need a more serious reason. Vanel is the person I selected, and I participated in the entire process of his review."
The white whale didn't speak, just looked at the aquiline nose.
The hooked nose sighed: "Do you still have doubts about him?"
As if thinking deeply, the hooked nose poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said softly: "There is indeed something suspicious about the mission in Brazil, I don't deny it.
All members participating in the mission were wiped out, including those with abilities, and even the mercenary team accompanying the team was wiped out.
The only survivor who escaped was Varnel. If it were me, I would be equally suspicious. I know that the company's senior management is very dissatisfied with the Brazil mission, and I also have doubts about Varnel's choice.
But...this is about the mother body!
Isn't it, dear madam?
All of us should have reached a consensus long ago: anything related to the mother body cannot be measured by common sense. No matter how unbelievable or ridiculous things are, things can happen."
Beluga finally sighed softly: "So, after participating in Varnel's review throughout the entire process, you took the initiative and added Varnel to your action team?
We have never discussed this issue: why him, why would you actively choose a questionable person, even if he has passed the internal review."
"Because although Brazil's mission failed, he is the only person I can find who may have had close contact with the mother's body." The hooked nose looked at the beluga coldly: "Is this reason sufficient? I am
For the good of the mission.”
"I accept this reason." White Whale nodded: "But, after the mission is completed, there is no conflict in killing him, right?"
The old lady drank coffee and said calmly: "I suspect he is from Ark."
"..." The hooked nose stopped talking.
"If he isn't, then... it's not a big deal to die of a minor character who is not very important, right?"
Beluga's tone seemed to be very relaxed, but when he said this, his tone suddenly changed and he said coldly: "But what if he is?
If he is, I ask you to kill him, then after the mission is over, if he is still alive...
You have a problem too!
Then you can die."
No secrets, no beating around the bush...
Straight ball!
The aquiline nose's expression did not change much. He sighed, shook his head and said, "I thought we could always trust each other, noble madam."
A complicated smile appeared on Beluga's old, wrinkled face.
Gently, she put down the coffee cup.
"Little bastard, how many years have we known each other?"
"Well……"
With a sigh, Beluga whispered: "I've been in that damn place in Iceland for too long, do you understand?"
Hooked nose: "…………"
"This Antarctic mission was led by me.
There is no unified opinion among the company's senior management, can you understand what I'm saying?"
The hooked nose still didn't speak.
"The mission in Brazil suffered a lot of losses. All the resources of a C-level operations team were invested, and then... the entire army was wiped out.
The most important thing is that we didn't get a dime of benefit.
The return is zero, do you understand?
zero!"
Beluga said quietly: "How many times has this happened? Huh?
We have invested too much resources and time in the mother body!
But often the final result is not very good... No, it’s not not very good, it’s very bad!
We continue to invest, invest, invest in this project...
However, what we have gained from this project so far is: minus 2.6 billion!
And many people died.
Do you understand?"
The hooked nose whispered: "But, this is the purpose of Dabo SS, to find the mother body..."
"Yes, it is the purpose of Dabo SS.
Boss Bo is our supreme leader, Leader!"
Having said this, Beluga lowered his voice and said coldly: "But don't forget, our Bo SS's eyes are not always staring at the company. The number and time of Bo SS's appearance are too few.
It's also too short.
The company is getting bigger and bigger, and every senior executive has his own thoughts and ideas.
Everyone's pursuit is different.
Although everyone still showed absolute obedience to Bo SS, but... is it specifically about doing things...
You know."
"No, I don't understand." The hook-nosed tone was serious: "Dear Madam, if you are giving me some kind of hint and hope to get my 100% cooperation...
I need you to speak more clearly!"
Obviously, a hooked nose would not satisfy the beluga.
There was a hint of irritation in the old woman's eyes. She took a deep breath and slowly suppressed her unhappy gaze: "Are you sure? The trust between us..."
"It has nothing to do with trust. You are now suggesting that I do something that may have serious consequences.
I hope to make something clear. You have to understand that with the current complex situation of the company, if I completely turn to you, I may be suppressed by other senior leaders of the company.
It's a matter of life and death, so I have to ask more clearly." He replied calmly with a hooked nose.
"Okay." White Whale chose to give in: "Although we are a 'company', we are not a company in the secular sense of human civilization. Do you understand?"
The hooked nose thought for a moment...
"In a corporate organization in the secular sense, what does the boss rely on to control the company? It relies on shares and wealth, and the root is... legal principles! This is the rule of the ordinary human world.
Even if you are a weak person, relying on legal principles, as long as you own shares in the company, you can be the boss of the company.
Maybe this person is lame, maybe this person needs help even when walking.
But human legal principles have enough authority to support his status.
But... we are not!"
Hook-nosed understood.
In the underground world, the only factor that supports authority is...
strength.
To be more precise, it is force!
To put it simply, in an underground world organization, why did it choose "me" to be the boss?
Sorry, it is not chosen, nor is it determined by law or wealth.
The only reason "I" am the boss is because I have enough ability to kill anyone who disobeys me or challenges my status at any time!
Therefore, everyone must listen to me.
It's that simple and crude.
"Bo SS hasn't shown its strength for too long.
It has been too long since our boss last showed his strength. I remember that at that time, I was still a little girl.
Now that so many years have passed, the blood from that time has long since dried up.
Many people have forgotten the horror of wave SS.
No, even many people in the company have never seen the horror of wave SS.
However, our company has mastered such huge resources, wealth and strength...
Too long.
It's been a long time, and there are already a lot of people secretly preparing to make a move."
"What about you?" The hooked nose said bluntly: "Are you included among these people who are ready to make a move? Dear Madam."
"..." White Whale glanced at the aquiline nose and smiled, and then she slowly said: "Although I am very old, I still occasionally dream and think of that year...
Therefore, I can tell you clearly that in this company, no matter what I do or what I think, I may occasionally have my own selfish motives.
However, I will never, and absolutely, never betray SS!
Did I explain it clearly enough?"
The eyes and tone of the hook-nosed man were very playful: "I understand it very well, but it's not clear enough...it's still a little bit worse."
The white whale looked into the hook-nosed eyes: "Then... let me say this.
If what Bo SS wants to do is consistent with my interests, I will put in 200% effort to do it! Because in this case, even if I fail, Bo SS will give me a certain degree of compensation and reward.
If what Bo SS wants to do is inconsistent with my interests, I will do my best to do it because as an eyewitness of... decades ago and one of the few people who have experienced it today, I know very well that Bo SS
It’s best not to disobey SS’s will, or even think about violating it overtly or covertly!
Now, little bastard, I need your statement. If you continue to be glib with me, my patience will no longer tolerate you."
The hooked nose thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, distinguished madam, on behalf of the B3 action team, I am willing to stand on your side.
Even if...the other elders in the committee put pressure on you, I will stand firmly on your side."
The white whale savored the words of the aquiline nose and frowned: "What do you mean...has anyone put pressure on you?"
"Of course, I am the leader of the B-level action team. I deserve to be won over, right?" He said with a hooked nose and a smile.
"Are they those guys from the emerging faction?" White Whale said immediately: "Don't pay attention to those idiots.
They are younger and have more ideas. Sometimes the ideas they instill in people can easily be deceived.
I even agree with some of their propositions.
However, they have a huge flaw.
These people all joined the company after that year... and they have never seen the horror of wave SS.
In their eyes, a veteran of my age represents old age, corruption, backwardness and obsolescence.
Maybe...even Bo SS looks like this in their eyes."
Beluga's tone was very disdainful.
The aquiline nose stirred in his heart, and he asked: "So... is Boss Bo finally planning to show his dignity? Clean up the emerging factions in the company's committee, those guys who don't suit Boss Bo's wishes?"
The white whale glanced at the aquiline nose and said coldly: "Don't try to trick me, you little bastard.
I didn't get any form of orders or hints from SS.
But, believe me, in this world and in this company, if you want to survive, maintaining absolute loyalty and consistency to Bo SS is the foundation for survival.
If you are suppressed by those emerging groups, then the harder you are suppressed, the worse you are bullied...
You will only gain points in Bo SS’s heart!
When Bo SS decides to clean up one day, you will also receive a generous reward for the oppression and grievance you suffered before."
"Loyalty award?" He smiled with a hooked nose.
"That's right."
"That's why, dear madam, you stayed in that small fishing port in Iceland, as if you were assigned to stay there for many years. You even went to the fishing port to buy groceries in person every day, just like an ordinary old woman.
Living the same life for years, away from the power struggles at the heart of the company?"
The white whale smiled: "The wronged child, you can eat candy."
The hooked nose whistled.
Then he continued to ask: "So, this mission..."
"I said it was me who pushed for it!
Otherwise, do you think that after just experiencing the failure in Brazil and the company suffering huge losses...
Will it suddenly launch a top-level mission to Antarctica with a higher level and more resources invested?
For this mission, I left Iceland and made enough gestures on the committee to get those guys to compromise.
An old veteran, who had been away from the center of power for many years, suddenly wanted to refresh his presence and show his presence before he was about to retire completely.
I think many people can tolerate it for a while, so I got them to give in this time.
Moreover, some people have even tried to make secret deals with me, waiting for my complete retirement, and even eyeing the position of the veteran left behind after my retirement.
In the eyes of many people, they are waiting to see my joke this time.
Anyway, no one would get serious with an old guy who is about to retire.
After various compromises, this mission was finally accomplished.
Little bastard... I have provided you with all the resources I can mobilize.
Do you understand?"
"I will work hard to complete this mission." Hook Nose immediately promised.
The hook-nosed guarantee was very straightforward, without any hesitation.
Beluga expressed satisfaction with his attitude.
"So, ma'am... I personally have a curious question.
This mission... From a general perspective, finding the mother body is the concept of Bo SS.
So, in terms of your personal interests, are they consistent?
What I mean is that I have already chosen to side with you, so you have to tell me your personal attitude."
The white whale was silent for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on the shoulder of the aquiline nose.
"Dear little bastard, I'm old.
Very old. Very old.
I remember when I saw you enter the company, you were still a young guy.
Now your hair is a little gray.
And I...my teeth have become loose.
Every day now I...
No, not every day, but every moment, every minute, every second, you can feel the passage of life force.
That strong, wonderful vitality is leaving my body bit by bit every moment!
Therefore, the promotion of this mission this time is the concept of wave SS.
It is also in my personal interests.
Of course I don't want to fucking die!
But the only possibility for me to survive is...
Or, after completing the task, the great power that the mother body can bring can give me the continuation of life, just like what SS Bo has always told us: the mother body can bring eternity.
Or, the mission failed, and after putting in 200% of the effort, the mission suffered heavy damage, but still failed.
Then I was completely suppressed, and there were no old-school people like me in the committee. I was suppressed, and then I was forced to take the blame and retire. Those idiots at the top of the company who were ready to move continued to take a big step forward...
In this way, it is possible to force SS to take action again.
Then, I got a generous loyalty award! In the prize package, there may be a wave of SS to help me extend my life...
Little bastard, try your best and don’t hold back this time!”
The hooked nose thought seriously: "Okay, I will go all out this time.
But... Vanel..."
"He must die." Beluga said coldly: "Only when he dies can you completely prove your innocence."
After the hooked nose and the beluga looked at each other for a few seconds, they took the initiative to look away.
