"Jimi: To be honest, I'm not jealous at all that Director Sand Gold is in this position."
Scott: Who do you think you are? Daring to criticize Director Sargent?!
"Gimmy: ?P40"
Scott: I was blind to your greatness. I wish you a Happy New Year in advance.
"An employee of a certain company: 'A man's knees are worth gold; this is truly how it's used...'"
Meanwhile, in the ward on Sunday, all the doctors had left, leaving only Jiang Lin and the robin.
"Brother, is there anywhere else that's bothering you?"
The robin looked worried. In her heart, no matter what she had done on Sunday, whether it was right or wrong, he was her only family member. Nothing was more important than her brother's safety.
On Sunday, she looked tenderly at the robin and forced a smile.
"I'm fine now, Robin. It was just a nightmare."
The robin breathed a sigh of relief, then sat down on the edge of the bed, gently took Sunday's hand, and asked very tenderly.
What could have scared my brother like that?
"I dreamt that someone wanted to divide you into seven parts, but thankfully it was just a dream."
Chapter 85 The Turning Point in Kakawasha's Fate
On Sunday, he looked at Jiang Lin, who was still in the ward like a third wheel.
“Mr. Jiang Lin, I apologize for my previous breach of contract. This was all my personal decision and had nothing to do with the robin.”
Jiang Lin nodded calmly and said it as a matter of course.
"I wouldn't go so far as to make things difficult for a young girl."
The two stared at each other in silence for a moment, which made the robin in the middle restless. She felt she needed to say something.
"elder brother......"
But before he could speak, Sunday interrupted him, saying:
"Little sister, I'm a little hungry. Could you go find me something to eat?"
The robin looked at Sunday lying in the hospital bed. She knew he was trying to get rid of her, but upon reflection, she didn't know what she could do if she stayed...
"Brother, promise me you won't put yourself in danger again, okay? You're my only family now."
After saying that, the robin left the ward.
On Sunday, as he watched the robin's retreating figure, his eyes dimmed slightly, and finally he looked at Jiang Lin, who was still in the ward.
"The rest is between us..."
Jiang Lin smiled slightly and said very easily:
"Relax, I'm here to ask for your help."
Jiang Lin nodded, and then told Sunday about the opportunity that Hipe had given him.
"Can I say no?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin sat down next to Sunday, speaking in a lazy tone.
"I've chosen to tell you this directly, so you have no right to refuse. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to know the consequences."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat you?"
Jiang Lin shook his head, his tone flat:
"You? You probably couldn't even beat a robin right now, could you?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Sunday fell into a long silence, then nodded in agreement with no choice.
"I will not let the family take you away until this matter is settled."
Jiang Lin seemed to remember something and added a sentence to Sunday.
"I'll have to wait until my injuries are better."
Sunday said with a hint of helplessness.
Jiang Lin agreed, since it would be a real loss if the desired effect wasn't achieved due to health reasons on Sunday.
[At this moment, the previously blacked-out live stream screen once again emitted the sound of interstellar peace announcements.]
[“According to the Pierpoint hotline, a major breakthrough has been made in the horrific ‘Ajihadzo gold mine case.’ The suspect has been apprehended.”]
[“This fraud case involved multiple departments of Interstellar Peace Company and the Doctoral Society, resulting in a significant waste of human and material resources and causing the company to suffer huge losses—”]
[“The suspect in this case is from Tsigania 4, is one of the survivors of the Second Katika-Evikin Extinction Incident, and does not possess an interstellar refugee travel document—”]
[“At the direction of Diamond, head of the Strategic Investment Department, the company has made proper arrangements for him in accordance with the spirit of the Charter and will continue its investigation to further confirm the suspect’s criminal motives…”]
The screen lights up, and the most eye-catching figure is an elegant lady seated at the table.
"What beautiful eyes. Tell me, do they glow in the dark?"
The Jade Lady's elegant voice rang out, her gaze playfully fixed on the young man bound by chains before her.
"If I could, I would definitely sell them."
Kakawasha's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, his eyes fixed intently on the woman before him.
"You have no idea how many people wished for you to close your eyes forever. As a slave, you shouldn't have rebelled against your master... yet you killed that man."
"No lawyer dares to defend you; perhaps you should try to get a not-guilty declaration?"
"Potio: Well done! That adorable Uwoobo should have been in hell long ago."
"Silver Branch: While I agree with Lord Potio's habitual praise, I believe that the repulsive slave owner is unworthy of the title of adorable Uw-Uw."
"Potio: You..."
"March 7th: Although Sand Gold escaped, it seems he's been caught again. But being in the company's hands is better than being a slave, right? Probably?"
"Danheng: I have found the relevant information. At that time, this matter caused a huge uproar. At least the company could not do anything about the gold deposits openly."
"Star: As expected of the all-powerful Teacher Danheng!"
"It's not difficult, but it's meaningless."
Emerald smiled slightly; she was increasingly looking forward to this young man's performance.
"You're very confident in your eloquence. Was that what you were thinking when you were deceiving the Erudite Society?"
"You got what you asked for. You wanted perfect building materials, and I merely offered a possibility, a small gamble."
"If you're lucky, the company can pan for anything in the sands of Ejihazó, even the remains of the Sand King (Taizyroes). Unfortunately for you, you're not so lucky."
"I don't deny that. But what I'm curious about is why such a large-scale scam ultimately didn't benefit anyone—including the criminals themselves?"
"Madam, I have gotten what I wanted—to be brought before you to begin the next high-stakes gamble."
"Let's talk about this second big gamble. Tell me, what are you planning to bet on this time?"
Emerald looked at the disheveled yet resolute young man before her, a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"I'm betting my life. I bet you won't send me to the execution ground."
"Hmm...so what do you want?"
"I want your leader, Ranah, to come to me. I have something to say."
【"Then what?"】
"I need money."
"It can't be that simple, can it?"
"It's that simple. Thirty Taamba (copper coins), that's the price of half my life, no more, no less."
"With this money, I can climb to a higher position than you and wield more wealth than you... I bet you wouldn't dare give it to me, so call him over."
【"interesting."】
Emerald's lips curled into a slight smile, and she chuckled softly, but her next words were a refusal.
"Unfortunately, the diamond won't see you, and nobody can see him. So at this moment, I am the diamond's representative, making the decision for him."
But then, she gave Kakawasha the answer he wanted.
"However, you're wrong. Thirty Taambas, I will give you, and much more. Wealth, status, power, the company will give you everything you want and don't want."
"Kakawasha...it's a good name, but unfortunately, you're destined to be buried in the ground. But you deserve to live and create more wealth for us."
"Go on, pick out an outfit you like, and choose an identity you'd love... then make good use of them, child."
"May your scheme never be exposed."
【“…”】
Chapter 86 Concerning the Punishment of Oswald Schneider
Jingyuan: Sure enough, it's still the same company, they just changed the identity and kept the person safe.
Fu Xuan: Heh, that's only because Kakawasha can create enough wealth. If it were anyone else, they would have died countless times over.
"March 7th: This little bit of money isn't even as much as Ah Xing's allowance, yet it can buy a piece of gold dust? What's that called again?"
"Su Chang: It seems to be called... Stealing a Posture?"
Danheng: ...It's an investment...
"Star: Actually, I'm a business genius too..."
"Gold mine: Sure, friend, work with me, starting with P35."
"Topa: Lady Emerald is still the best."
"Qingque: By the way, what's the work atmosphere like at the company? Is it okay to slack off?"
"Camille: Um... I advise you not to come."
"Hanabi: Hehe, Hanabi-sama has a question: those people who wanted Kakawasha dead back then, now that they've found out he's still alive, why are they all silent?"
