Chapter 197
The general meeting was scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning, but Todd set off at nine o'clock with his two entourages, Rongyuan and Leslie.
Since they were attending a formal meeting, the three of them were wearing the uniforms of the Supervisory Department, but they did not wear exoskeleton armor. At the same time, in order to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the general meeting, and to show respect to other important figures, no one wore armor as usual.
Riding in the jade-white elevator used exclusively by the management of Liukasao, Leslie whispered to Rong Yuan, "Azhe, is this your first time attending a general meeting?"
"right."
"Then let me tell you about the process first." Leslie coughed softly and acted like an experienced senior. He said, "Although the general meeting is on the 18th floor, the elevator we are taking now only goes up to the 17th floor. Not only this elevator, but all the elevators on the lower floors of Liukasao are like this. We have to go to the waiting area on the 17th floor first, and we will take the special elevator to the 18th floor about ten minutes before the meeting."
"If you don't have a very compelling reason and have Lord Map's permission, it is a serious crime not to attend the general meeting. So we can meet all the ship owners and the general manager in the waiting area later." Leslie said: "Some adults are easy-going and have good tempers; but some adults are very strict, so you must be careful not to be rude and don't conflict with others casually. But of course, our Supervisory Department..."
He glanced at Tode, who was some distance away from the two of them. Even though he knew that his Lord General was usually very tolerant of these things, he still didn't dare to say certain things in front of him. So he stuck close to Rong Yuan and whispered in his ear: "In the eyes of others, our Supervision Department is the most difficult to mess with, so you don't have to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, they don't dare to mess with us."
"Okay, I understand." Rong Yuan said with a smile.
Tao De and Rong Yuan had not discussed these procedures in detail before, because they both knew that today's general meeting would not be able to proceed normally. And regardless of the outcome, this would be their last general meeting.
But Leslie, who knew nothing, still regarded this as a boring and long routine mission like usual. Although he saw many important people on the ship, including the mysterious Lord Rhuka, those people had nothing to do with him. Therefore, he was neither excited nor excited, and certainly not afraid. He just felt uncomfortable when he thought about having to stay with a group of annoying guys pretending to be together all day.
The dedicated elevator was rarely used, and Todd had high authority, so the elevator he took would not stop for anyone, so the elevator went very fast, and it didn't take long for them to reach the 17th floor.
Walk out of the elevator, walk through a small square, and climb about ten steps to reach the waiting area.
On the seventeenth floor, the perception that every inch of space on the ship is valuable is meaningless. The space here is the largest among the seventeen floors, but the number of people is the smallest, and everyone has plenty of space. This includes the service personnel selected and recruited from the bottom. If their residences were placed on the lower three floors, they would at least be conditions that only the upper-middle class can enjoy.
The waiting area in front of us is very empty. In the square of more than 5,000 square meters, there are only a dozen people except for the service staff. The square is decorated with seats, pavilions, small gardens, various "elegant" game facilities for killing time, etc. On the long tables around the rest area in the middle, there are seven-layer wooden shelves with steps filled with various delicacies. And every few meters, there is a good-looking service staff, both men and women, with a friendly and respectful , ready to provide any service at any time.
The three people from the Supervisory Department seemed to have a chilling aura, walking with a gust of wind and a menacing aura. When the people who had arrived at the waiting area saw them, their faces froze and their smiles faded a bit. Even the well-trained waiters subconsciously lowered their heads when they passed by, as if they were afraid of being seen by them.
Todd went straight to his usual seat and sat down. He was always disdainful of trying to make friends with others, and he would not come two or three hours early like some people and start enjoying the place impatiently. He just closed his eyes slightly, looked like he didn't want anyone to come near him, and waved to Rong Yuan and Leslie standing behind him, saying, "Don't worry about me, do whatever you want."
"yes!"
Leslie responded and pulled Rong Yuan. After the two walked away, Rong Yuan asked, "Don't we need to stay with the adults?"
He saw that the entourage of other big shots basically followed them closely and rarely left. Perhaps this was a way for them to show off their status and power.
"No need." Leslie shook his head and said, "The adult likes to be alone, and he doesn't like people standing behind him. Everyone knows this. So every time we come over, he lets us move freely."
Rong Yuan looked back at Todd.
As a violent organization on the spacecraft, the Fighting Department is responsible for maintaining law and order and protecting everyone's safety, so although it may attract hatred, most people are kind and respectful to them. But walking in the dark is completely against everyone, and they may wield the butcher knife against anyone at any time, so anyone may become their enemy.
When Todd sat on that chair, it became an isolated island. Although there were some seats around, it was obvious that others would not sit there even if they had to stand until their legs were sore .
Leslie pulled Rong Yuan to the front of the long table. He didn't know when he had a plate in his hand. He stuffed one into Rong Yuan's hand. Although his face still maintained the cold and serious look that was typical of the Supervisory Department, his tone was already a little excited.
"Take it, take it. See if there's anything you like to eat or drink. Feel free to take it. Even if it's all gone, they'll restock it right away."
Leslie licked his lips and put several pieces of barbecue on his plate while talking. Seeing Rong Yuan not moving, he said, "Don't waste your opportunity. Many things here are usually not available even if you have money! Now they are unlimited! Oh, by the way, don't you know what to eat? Then I recommend this volcano barbecue, my favorite! And this, honey-marinated bird wings, tastes super good! And that... that..."
Seeing Rong Yuan readily taking some of the food he recommended, Leslie said, "Yes, eat more. The meeting later is actually super boring. To be honest, every time I come here, it is these delicacies that keep me going."
Rong Yuan paused while taking the food, turned around and smiled at him: "Then you must eat more this time."
"That's what I planned!" Leslie saw Rong Yuan's smile and said, "Hey, didn't I tell you? Don't smile when you're outside. Be like me, a little fierce! At the very least, keep a poker face. Otherwise, people will see your expression and know that you're easy to bully!"
"Oh, okay."
Rong Yuan put away his smile and lowered his head slightly.
In order to keep it secret and avoid ruining the operation due to a momentary impulse, Leslie had no idea what they were going to do today, but he would definitely be implicated later.
Not only Leslie, but also other people in the Supervision Department, including the "White Scavenger" who has done a lot of things in the past two days, actually only know what they want to do, but know nothing about Todd's real purpose. They are all people who are used and are ready to be abandoned at any time.
Rong Yuan opened his third eye and looked at the young man beside him.
A soul that is so bright that it is dazzling shows that he has a pure and persistent temperament, is tough and brave, and is not moved by external things.
The blood-red color, as gorgeous as a gem, showed that he had killed many, many people without any malicious intent... His karma was like blood, entwined around his body.
The diffuse black fog is the unique "scenery" of Liokasuao, but it is more common around Leslie, indicating that he is one of the targets of the black fog. But perhaps evil people are afraid of evil people, the black fog just lingers but does not penetrate into his soul. Therefore, Leslie did not fall ill or die from "Villana Depression".
He might have killed countless people, and might have deserved to die, but to Rong Yuan, he was an impeccable senior.
Thinking of this, Rong Yuan sighed softly, and finally patted Leslie gently on the back.
"What's wrong?" Leslie looked back blankly, and the plate was already piled up like a small mountain.
"I'll share some luck with you. I wish you...safe and smooth today." Rong Yuan said softly.
"Oh..." Leslie didn't understand, but still smiled and said, "Thank you!"
