Double Moon - Chapter 56
“And you. If you are looking for who to provoke. Don’t use me as a masterpiece for your plan. What I hate most is someone using me. That being the case, you have to compensate me. I don’t want to waste much time here. Set up a contest for me and all the twelve geniuses of the twelve regions. If you can’t, then you have to pay twenty million Yuan for taking my precious kiss.” Chi An spoke calmly. Nevertheless, there were elements of anger in his words.
“You!” Nuwa Quanru lost her comportment for the first time.
“You are shameless. This is the first kiss that I have given to anyone. You should be grateful.”
“But I am not. Isn’t it why I am shameless. You better do either of these tasks. Or I won’t forgive you.”
…..
In starlight nation, in the office of the president. I, Jun Mey, was led inside by a large security man. I heard his name was Dingbang Yongzhengi. The man who controlled the whole military intelligence in the five cities.
I entered the office and saw two people. The first person was seated on the main chair. He was the president, Chang Ye, and the other person was standing beside him. He was the president’s secretary, Yusheng Chung.
“Sir, I have brought her,” Dingbang Yongzhengi spoke with his severe expression.
“It is fine,” the president spoke casually. However, I felt the nervousness in his words. He gestured for me to sit. I took one of the sofas that were staring at me and sat down.
“We want to cooperate with you on exterminating the wolves and hunters. For us to show our sincerity, we will establish contact with the hunters. For them to release your human friend.” He communicated with me with great interest as he occasionally flashed his eyes on me.
I remained quiet to understand the crux of the matter. Even though I was dissatisfied with everything around me. I decided to come here after all. For me, I would prefer everything and the entire universe to disappear. That will at least numb my pain. Also, the universe is among the things that had set me up. If it could be wiped out, that would be exhilarating. However, considering that I decided to play along by coming, I thought I should hear them out.
Then, he continued. “We want to see if we can negotiate with the hunters to give us what belongs to us. We will try our best. Even if we have to pay more money. That said, they might not be willing to give her back to us that easily. First, they might suspect us working together. Also, they may request you in exchange with the girl. Moreover, by now, they might have planted useless ideas in the head of the girl.”
I thought for a while before I spoke. “I understand. Nonetheless, why is it important to say this? Are you going to use me in exchange for my friend? Or are you saying the reverse will be the case? That I shouldn’t misjudge your intention. Because you will consider it the highest priority. ”
“I wanted you to understand beforehand. That these things might not work out as always predicted. Of course, we will do our best in every possible way. Still, that does not guarantee smooth sailing. In which case, choosing the most prioritized will be the best option. It is not that we have no priority in your human friend. This case is special.”
“Sir, you have a meeting in the next thirty minutes with the scientists. It is time to leave.” Yunsheng Chung spoke boldly and with complete calm.
The president got up with a sigh. His eyes held incredible emotion of discomfort. It was as though he was fed up with something. What was it?
“I have a request to ask of you. I know it is inappropriate because we are just establishing cooperation of a sort. However, I have a daughter. I will be dealing with the issue of negotiation and other things. I would like you to be part of the team that will protect her in her school secretly. So that I can rest assured.”
I nodded to him. Well, for now, there was nothing to lose by being with them. If they provided me with enough benefit, then it was not a bad trade. Having said that, anyone who intended to use me again or who would rather have my existence disappear. I will make sure they lose everything too.
In a large conference hall, five different people sat there.
The first person, Yingjie Liang! A scientist from Ma Liu Shiu. He was a middle-aged man with a calm and deducing face. He was short and round with his big eyeglasses. The size of the eyeglasses was somewhat unusual.
The second person, Tu Yognian! A scientist from Sha Tin. He had peaceful eyes. The atmosphere that surrounded him was serene and easygoing.
The third person, WangYong Beming! A scientist of Chen Yu Ting. A young man with a remorseful and guilty expression. His pupil was shaking terribly out of fear.
The fourth person, Chaun You! A scientist of Chung Chi. He was a tall and slim man with an assertive and strong demeanor. He was the kind of person that would want his opinion to be prioritized more than others.
The fifth person, who was also the last, Zhixin Renshu! A scientist of Jong Ji. He was the chief scientist. An average height man, who was slightly round with small eyeglasses. He had a bored expression. However, that guy looked like someone who might go out of control at a crucial time.
At this moment, the president and his secretary entered the hall. Just as the scientist saw them, they saluted.
The president went on to take his reserved chair. His secretary stood beside him.
“I have been waiting for you guys for a week now.” The president spoke.
“We were supervising the team that was handling the last step of coupling the chemical missile. We were busy, sir.” Zhixin Renshu spoke with his bored expression as he used his hand to shift his eyeglasses.. Be that as it may, that eyeglasses were so small that I wondered if he wanted to gouge out his eyes.
