Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 247 Emmanuel
As one figure after another rose from their seats, the originally empty conference room even became a little crowded.

But no one spoke.

The entire conference room fell into an almost dead silence.

Some people looked at each other in mid-air and then quickly separated, but most people were looking in the same direction.

That is the main seat of the conference room.

I didn't have to wait too long. A ray of light flashed, and countless ultra-precision pixels quickly reorganized to form a middle-aged man with an indifferent expression.

He was clearly just wearing a jet-black suit, not the majestic and gorgeous clothes specially tailored for him, and this place was not reality, but a virtual projection online.

But everyone in the conference room was shocked at this moment. They could truly feel the awe-inspiring demeanor of the middle-aged man.

Emanuel Groden.

[Fubo Energy] is the agent of the entire Rockal Plain, the director of the Energy Supply Bureau of Casting Light City, and the "whole person" granted by the emperor. He is one of the materialized symbols of Groden's glory.

Even if we look at the entire corporate alliance, the other party can be considered to be in a high position of power.

The other party was born as a branch of Groden and fought his way to where he is today. He is expected to compete for the lofty position of the next head of the Groden family. His resume is also legendary.

The only shortcoming, or rather pity, is probably that he is not a psychic.

In front of Emanuel, even they - the so-called "big guys" in daily life - have to bow down.

Looking at the man's demeanor, some people were envious and jealous, and muttered fiercely in their hearts.

You are so arrogant, but wasn't your niece slaughtered by someone on a live broadcast some time ago? Why are you pretending to be your mother in front of us?

But all these thoughts disappeared in the next moment.

"——Let's start reporting."

Emanuel said.

Everyone's expressions straightened immediately. The first person sitting on the right spoke up, "Some of our intelligent control factories were attacked. The perpetrators were some local resistance organizations that were instigated by the public opinion of the Enlightened Ones and spontaneously formed. We have now completed the suppression."

"However, according to the assessment, it will take another week for the factory to fully restore its peak capacity, so the delivery date may fluctuate. We have submitted an application to your corresponding department and are negotiating a new date."

At this moment, everyone in this conference room is Fubo Energy's partners or subordinate institutions in the Rockal Plain, including large factory owners and senior executives of cooperative companies, as well as local noble families with deep roots in the Rockal area, and even some government officials.

They appeared here because of Emanuel's personal habit - the latter would hold a meeting every half a month and personally listen to reports from all parties.

The first person's report was finished quickly. The person sitting next to him took a few seconds to speak, "The third phase of the cleanup of the wasteland in the Rockal Plain has been completed. Two hundred and seventy dangerous targets have been dealt with. Forty-eight temporary air outpost lighthouses have been set up to monitor the wasteland in real time. All roads leading to the Forging Light City are unobstructed, ensuring that any traveler can safely arrive in the Forging Light City and participate in the Sun Celebration."

Not too long passed until the last person finished reporting.

With the status of the people present, the resources they can deploy are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. They have all undergone customized bio-enhancement surgery for themselves, and have implanted expensive high-standard prostheses.

Their memory, information analysis, and mental calculation abilities far exceed those of natural humans, and even most cyborgs, so their efficiency in reporting and processing information is extremely high.

Emmanuel did not speak during the entire report. He just listened and nodded slightly occasionally.

".That's all. Report completed." The last person paused and sat back.

The conference room fell silent again.

"——Bloom."

Finally, Emanuel spoke for the first time since entering the online conference room.

His voice was still indifferent, but when they heard the name, everyone's eyes turned to the seventh seat on the right side of the conference table.

There was a man who looked to be in his early thirties, well-dressed, handsome, and could be described as suave and elegant.

However, looking at the face of the man called "Bloom", even though some people have seen him many times, they still couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

He's almost 80 years old, but he still likes to act pretentiously.
As the chairman of the board of directors of the "Val Group", Bloom is quite powerful, at least in the Rockar Plain - after all, one of the reasons for the birth of the "Val Group" was Fubo Energy's attempt in the field of transportation.

With the support of Fubo Energy, the Val Group has become one of the most powerful civilian armed transportation companies in the Rockal Plain.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a person is, he cannot change the fact that Bloom is already an old man in his eighties.

but.

Although time cannot be stopped, it can be "delayed".

Every year, Bloom would spend a lot of resources to purchase top-notch bio-adjustment surgeries provided by Emerald Pharmaceuticals, and hired a professional medical team at a high price to be on call 24/7. Over the years, this guy has had countless replacements of organs, and it is said that even his blood has been replaced several times.

The effect is naturally gratifying.

Bloom's handsome appearance at the age of 30 is not simply a result of medical cosmetic surgery or prosthetic makeup. His physiological functions in all aspects are maintained at the peak state of a 30-year-old.

Even though it is difficult for him to implant too many prosthetics due to his non-psychic identity, thanks to Emerald Pharmaceuticals' biotechnology, the "flesh" part of Bloom is significantly stronger than a natural human.

I heard that this old guy's favorite entertainment activity recently is to disguise himself as a down-and-out nobleman and seduce the common female students who have worked hard to get into the company's college, playing a customized sad drama.

Looking at the current situation, has he committed a crime? Has he offended Emanuel?

"Sir Emmanuel." After waiting for a while, he found that the other party did not continue speaking, so Bloom had to bite the bullet and speak first: "You"

"Bloom Bloom, I thought you were just a nuisance, but not a fool." Emmanuel turned his head and said, "Now it seems that I overestimated you."

"What do you mean?" Bloom felt his forehead getting hot. He tried to make his voice sound more stable. "I don't quite understand. I remember that there was no problem with the transportation business this quarter."

Emmanuel looked at him quietly.

Facing this gaze, Bloom's voice unconsciously lowered.

At this moment, everyone was silent, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

Maybe it took a moment, maybe it was a long time.

Emmanuel shook his head slightly and exhaled slowly.

Then the man spoke.

With every number, noun, or sentence he uttered, Bloom's face turned paler.

The face that was so handsome and dashing not long ago was now covered with pale wrinkles.

"I know that Emerald Pharmaceuticals contacted you a long time ago, hoping that you would interfere with our deployment at the right time." Emmanuel's mouth curved into an arc.

Ever since the three giant companies, led by Fubo Energy, started a confrontation with the Enlighteners using Zhuguang City as a battlefield, the other giant companies have never stopped making small moves.

They certainly don't want the Enlighteners to actually seize the [Light-Forging City], but they also don't want to see Fubo Energy wipe out everything - what they would really like to see is that the Enlighteners and Fubo Energy would spend their entire lives in the Light-Forging City, continuously consuming each other's strength.

Even better than better would be to drag Chakoro Vaughn into the Lightforging City, where he would have no chance to come out and harm them, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

The man smiled coldly and tapped the long conference table lightly: "But you actually agreed to them and actually put them into action?"

"What did they promise you? Longevity? Youth? Or taking out your brain and replacing it with a better body? And then changing your identity and becoming a senior consultant at Jade Pharmaceuticals to live out your retirement?"

Bloom swallowed and looked around subconsciously. Everyone avoided his sight.

The next moment, Bloom gritted his teeth, and his whole body flashed and disappeared. It turned out that he had gone offline directly!

Emmanuel looked calm.

About ten seconds later, the now vacant seat flickered again, and Bloom reappeared in his seat.

But this time, it was as if every nerve in his body was stuffed with thin iron wires. Although he was clearly just a remote online substitute, Bloom felt noticeably stiff, with only his eyeballs still able to move.

After a few seconds, everyone present seemed to have received something, and their expressions changed slightly at the same time.

That was the latest communication to arrive in their private accounts.

——Just now.

An armed assault force from Fubo Energy descended from the sky and broke into Bloom's residence, and the security team stationed there was instantly defeated.

A third-ring psychic who was hired by Bloom at a huge expense for a short period of time and who they had never heard of and was hiding in their residence tried to take action, but when a third-ring psychic who was affiliated with Fubo Energy and accompanying the armed forces came forward, the two sides fought briefly for more than ten moves, and then the other party decisively chose to flee far away.

The Emerald Pharmaceuticals armed medical rescue service purchased by Bloom, which used three high-speed armed shuttles, was also intercepted on the periphery by Fubo Energy's air force and is still in a firefight.

Right now, in reality.

In the bedroom of the large manor in Bloom.

More than a dozen guns were pointed at Bloom's head, removing all of his prosthetics and forcing him to log back in!

"Offline." Emmanuel shook his head slightly. "Even at the last moment, you are still being stupid. Bloom, you are really hopeless."

"This concludes today's briefing."

The man stood up, and the others quickly followed suit.

He looked around at everyone and said calmly: "Everyone, I hope that the results of your work will not disappoint me."

Without paying attention to these people's reactions, Emmanuel straightened his collar and disappeared.

When the man opened his eyes again, someone was waiting in the office.

When the deputy director of security, Thomas Groden, saw the man log off, he immediately came over to him.

"The eleven members of the Enlightened who were detained in the prison have all been tried in court, found guilty, and executed."

"Distribute the execution video." Emmanuel nodded and asked, "How is Nanxin?"

"He hasn't fully recovered yet," Thomas replied. "The blow that Chakoro dealt him was very severe. But he has been released from the intensive care unit."

"Ah."

Emmanuel paused, and looked into the eyes of the man in front of him: "What about the arrangements for the celebration? You understand its significance to us. I don't want to see any accidents happen."

Thomas's expression suddenly became serious when he mentioned this.

He did not dodge or evade, but met Emmanuel's gaze head-on and spoke word by word.

"——Everything is ready."
