Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 201: Justice Favors the Rich
Xu Shen's figure moved quickly and suddenly jumped up.
His figure went straight through layers of buildings and jumped to a height of four or five floors.
The moment he landed, he switched to reality and landed in the corridor of the building. There was no one in the corridor on this floor, and this was also the floor where Xu Shen chose to land by controlling his strength.
The moment he landed, he jumped up again, and the moment his feet left the ground, his body disappeared into the world of ruins.
After four consecutive times, Xu Shen reached the top floor of the building.
Without blushing or panting, he walked to an office on the top floor with a calm expression.
Through the ruins eye, the buildings on the floors seemed illusory, but the movements of people up and down were completely clear. Xu Shen pulled out a chair and sat down at the desk in the office, as if he were home.
He returned to reality, and the beast alarm outside continued to sound for a few minutes before it quieted down.
Only the security guards were left running around busily in the building. After entering the ruins world through the ruins-breaking device, they looked around for the ruins beasts that had come nearby.
But nothing was found.
sneak into.
It is extremely simple for the two states, but to achieve such smooth and skillful switching as Xu Shen requires extremely strong control of the power.
The normal switching between the two states of the virtual world and reality usually takes 0.3 to 0.5 seconds, and the body will appear stagnant. However, Xu Shen controlled it to 0.1 seconds, which allowed him to react more quickly in battle.
At this moment, in Xu Shen's eyes, the walls seemed illusory. He saw several Zhanxu personnel downstairs looking around. Some of them looked towards the top floor and saw Xu Shen sitting in the office.
In the eyes of these beginners who entered the ruins world, the walls seemed illusory and could be seen through at a glance.
But when they saw Xu Shen sitting leisurely in the office, the gazes of several Zhanxu personnel shifted away. Obviously, that person was not the Xu beast they were looking for.
Most likely it’s a senior leader in the group.
Xu Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the table, raised his head and glanced at a certain wall in the conference room. The power surged in his palm, and he casually pulled out a piece of wood from the table and shot it out at his fingertips.
The wood separated from the table like a toothpick and shot onto the button on the wall.
The desktop is not affected at all and there is no visible defect.
The sound of bells suddenly rang.
Not long after, a figure came running outside. She was slim and had a plump upper body. She was wearing glasses. When she saw Xu Shen in the meeting room, she was immediately surprised and asked, "You... who are you?"
"Notify other directors that there is an emergency meeting." Xu Shen ordered.
"Okay." The woman agreed quickly, but then became confused again. She pushed her glasses and said, "I don't think I've seen you before. Who are you...?"
"You haven't seen much." Xu Shen glanced coldly and said, "Within half an hour, I want to see all the directors come here, otherwise you can apply for resignation yourself!"
The woman was a little confused. She felt that Xu Shen was a stranger, but Xu Shen's attitude made her dare not ask more. To be able to come to the top floor, he must have an exclusive door card, otherwise other employees in the group would not be able to reach the management level even if they took the elevator.
Seeing Xu Shen's calm demeanor and the faint majesty he exuded, she was worried. Could he be a new director of the group?
"I'll be there right away."
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly stepped back and ran to contact other directors.
Not long after, less than seven or eight minutes, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Xu Shen kept abreast of the movements outside through his frequently opened eyes. He had already seen the other party's appearance before he entered the meeting room. He was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle.
When this person arrived at the conference room, he immediately saw Xu Shen sitting alone waiting inside.
He looked suspicious: "Who are you?"
Xu Shen said coldly: "Sit down."
"Xiao Jing said that there is a new director? There is a new director joining the board of directors, how come I didn't know about it? Who are you?" The Mediterranean man was obviously not as easy to fool as the secretary outside, and asked in surprise.
"Let's talk about it after everyone is gathered."
Xu Shen said indifferently, looking like he was too lazy to talk nonsense.
The Mediterranean man was a little annoyed. Even if he was a new director, wasn't this too much of a show?
He snorted in his heart and pulled a chair to sit down next to him.
Not long after, people started arriving one after another.
"Who is this?"
As soon as they came in, all of these people's eyes fell on Xu Shen, a strange face in the conference room.
"It seems to be a new director." The Mediterranean man snorted coldly and answered for Xu Shen.
The others looked at each other.
"Are there new directors? How come we don't know about such an important event?"
"Did he just join and is here to notify you now?"
"But this kind of thing should have been announced in advance. It's strange."
"Ask Mr. Ming later."
The directors pulled out their chairs and sat down one after another.
Most of them are middle-aged people, and there are also women dressed like ladies. Their ages are generally over 35.
Xu Shen could see that these people were just ordinary people with open eyes, not the ruins slayers.
Some people asked him and tried to test his attitude, but Xu Shen crossed his arms over his chest, looking indifferent and not responding at all. Such an arrogant attitude also caused many people to talk about it.
Not long after, the "Brother Ming" that everyone had been waiting for arrived.
This is a middle-aged man with a mature temperament, calm and restrained eyes, neatly combed hair, and a well-ironed suit.
His arrival made many people in the conference room stand up subconsciously and greet him verbally.
"Brother Ming, who is this?"
After someone greeted me, they couldn't help but ask, with a hint of dissatisfaction in their words.
They wondered if Xu Shen was so arrogant and had no news at all, could he be someone brought in by Brother Ming?
Wei Shiming looked at Xu Shen, his face also somewhat suspicious. Seeing the looks from others, he said, "Did you introduce him here?"
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and then their eyes fell on Xu Shen.
The previous look of doubt turned somewhat unfriendly at this moment.
Since he is not Ming Ge's man, who would tolerate such an arrogant attitude?
"Young man, who are you?" Someone has already noticed something is wrong. It seems that no one here knows the young man in front of them.
Seeing those pairs of pressing eyes, Xu Shen looked calm and looked around: "1234...89...there are still 3 who haven't arrived yet."
According to the information, there are 16 members on the board of directors of Mingdeng Group.
They are all wealthy people in various regions, controlling their own businesses and industries.
But there are only 13 of them here.
"Young man, who are you?!" Wei Shiming also realized that something was wrong, his face changed slightly, and he immediately put his hands slowly behind his back and waved gently.
The action was covert, but the person behind noticed it, was startled, and quietly passed the message to the person waiting outside.
The message is simple.
Notify security!
"Are you Wei Shiming?" Xu Shen leaned back in his chair, looking at the middle-aged man standing at the head of the conference table. Although they were of different heights, Wei Shiming saw a condescending look in the eyes of the young man.
This made him feel angry and unhappy.
"You actually called Mr. Wei by his first name. How disrespectful!" someone shouted.
"Go ask the guard outside who let him in?" Someone had already directed his anger towards the guards outside.
Wei Shiming stared at Xu Shen and said, "You are not an ordinary person?"
Combined with the fact that he had heard the beast alarm go off at the headquarters on the way, he had guessed that the person before him might be a beast slayer, and possibly a "madman".
"Everyone sit down." Xu Shen raised his hand slightly and pressed it down to indicate: "Let's sit down and talk. Don't be nervous. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Xu Shen, and I'm from your old friend, the Light Chasing Club."
When they heard the words "Light Chasing Club", everyone who was about to sit down couldn't help but tense up and their faces changed suddenly.
Looking at Xu Shen in front of them, they all suddenly realized how the person in front of them appeared here.
The leader of the Light Chasing Club?
As wealthy people from a higher class, they have access to much more information than ordinary people. They don't know much about the Ruins Slashers, but they know a lot. The leaders of the Light Chasing Society are all lunatics, or what their security guards call the Two-State.
Such people are extremely dangerous.
The people who had glared at Xu Shen before now showed fear in their eyes, and their previous posture of forcing and questioning now turned into retreat and cowardice.
When Wei Shiming heard Xu Shen's words, he still looked relatively calm, but his expression became even more gloomy. He stared at Xu Shen and asked, "The leader of the Light Chasing Society?"
"That's right."
Xu Shen unwrapped his arms around his chest and placed them on the table naturally. It was just a simple action, but it made him look more oppressive. "I heard that there was some misunderstanding about cooperation with your group. I came here in person just to find out."
Everyone's expression changed and they couldn't help but look at Wei Shiming.
At this moment, they felt like they were in the same cage with a tiger and dared not even breathe.
"We have cooperated for a long time, but now our group has reformed, and the previous profit-making method is not suitable for us." Wei Shiming stared at Xu Shen and said, "Although the contract has been terminated, we have never owed your group anything. Isn't it a bit unfair for you to do this?"
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Since the previous profit-making method is not suitable for you now, why don't you just change back to the previous way? People should not always think about new trends. Some things are better as they are. Sometimes the change is for the new change. The new change will certainly create new opportunities, but it may also lead to a dead end. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, everyone looked unhappy.
They all felt the arrogance of the young man in front of them from his words.
Just one sentence and you want them to change it back?
"We are terminating the cooperation normally. Once we cooperate with your company, can we never terminate it? Let's part ways in peace so that we can meet again in the future." Wei Shiming said in a deep voice.
"It can be lifted, but when to lift it is up to us." Xu Shen smiled and said, "I am here to meet you now to have a good discussion. I hope you... don't make it difficult for me ."
Everyone's eyes were filled with anger, domineering and overbearing. This Light Chasing Club had never been so arrogant and domineering before.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
All the beginners of Ruin Slasher in the headquarters gathered together.
Hearing the noise outside, Wei Shiming's tense body relaxed a little and said, "Don't you think you guys are going too far?"
"I don't think so." Xu Shen shook his head.
Wei Shiming was slightly stunned. For a moment he didn't know how to respond to such a sincere answer.
"We have already negotiated cooperation with the Begonia Brotherhood. We had no choice but to terminate the cooperation with you. The Begonia Brotherhood offers better treatment. Birds choose good trees to roost in. Mr. Xu should be able to understand." Wei Shiming spoke softly with a sense of majesty.
"Are you saying that the conditions we offer are not good enough?" Xu Shen's face darkened.
Moods change at any time, and as Xu Shen's face darkened, the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
Wei Shiming looked at the young man in front of him with a chill in his heart. Although the latter was not very old, the change in his eyes made him feel extremely fearful.
"Mr. Xu, you misunderstood. It's hard to make money in this world nowadays, and there's nothing we can do..." Wei Shiming immediately softened his tone, trying to calm Xu Shen down first.
Xu Shen stared at him and said slowly: "I hope you are a smart person. Smart people should do smart things. Do you think these people outside can protect you?"
After hearing Xu Shen's words, Wei Shiming and the others' faces changed. The Mediterranean man who entered the meeting room first said in a trembling voice: "Are you going to rob? This is the Nightingale District. Although the law cannot protect everyone, justice will definitely favor the rich. We have people in the city-state guardhouse!"
When the city-state guardhouse was mentioned, others showed some hope in their eyes and felt more confident.
But soon, Xu Shen's next words made them feel cold again.
"The law will take away your justice, but it will not take away your life."
Xu Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked, "Do you want justice, or do you want your life?"
A simple question pierced everyone's heart like a sharp knife.
The answer is no doubt.
I've lost my life, what justice do I need?!
Then who is being treated fairly?
Wei Shiming had an ugly look on his face. Their Mingdeng Group was like a small shrimp being chased by two big fish between the Zhuiguang Club and the Haitang Brotherhood. Only now did he deeply understand that in front of such a powerful force with a madman in charge, they had no bargaining capital at all and were just fish in the eyes of others.
At your mercy.
In the conference room, the only sound left was the slight tapping of Xu Shen's fingers on the table, at a constant frequency, as if tapping on everyone's hearts.
There was complete silence. No one said a word.
Wei Shiming also fell silent.
"You're not going to make a choice?" Xu Shen showed an interested expression: "Or do you want to wait until the people from the Haitang Brotherhood arrive and let them support you?"
Wei Shiming's expression changed and he looked at Xu Shen with some shock in his eyes.
This kind of "madman" was not the first time he had seen it, but these madmen were only powerful and not necessarily smart. However, the young man in front of him seemed to be able to see through all their thoughts and weaknesses.
The message he secretly passed on earlier, in addition to asking the security to come, was more importantly to pass the message to the Begonia Brotherhood.
"It's okay, let's wait." Xu Shen smiled and said, "But the choice we give you after they arrive will not be the same choice we have now, do you understand?"
When Wei Shiming saw Xu Shen being so conceited, his expression changed. He didn't know where Xu Shen's confidence came from.
They did not terminate the cooperation without investigation. The Light Chasing Society suffered an accident and lost 6 leaders, and its strength was greatly reduced. With the strength of the Begonia Brotherhood, they are not afraid of the current Light Chasing Society. This was also the guarantee made by the Begonia Brotherhood themselves.
