Chapter 523 Parting ways
"Congratulations, you got a promotion and a raise."

In a restaurant full of flowers, Song Shi clapped his hands.

"You're overly flattering."

Anthony, sitting opposite, responded politely.

As the only accompanying person on border inspection tours, this resume is too impressive.

Compared to a month and a half ago, his attire had not changed much, still the same black and white suit that he always wore. However, compared to his previous position, he had taken over the position of director of a subsidiary office of the Department of Homeland Security. He had obtained this position at the age of less than 35, and could be regarded as a rising star in the southern political world.

Yes, a month and a half ago.

In that duel, Isidore did not kill her, and of course it was impossible for her to kill her. She just did everything that was closest to "death".

Song Shi first lay in bed for more than half a month, fully recovering from his injuries, and then went into seclusion for more than half a month, carefully reviewing and examining the normal battles and digesting the gains. Although the "over the peak" at that time was due to the near-death injury, he had finally stepped into that new boundary.

Take some time and be absolutely sure that this "peak you've surpassed" can become "the peak you're at now".

It is indeed beneficial to be in a desperate situation and then survive.

It took a month and a half to finish these things.

After he officially left the customs, Anthony's invitation appeared at the door. The other party's official promotion dinner had been held a long time ago, and this one was specially for him.

Also present was Lapis Lazuli Omnic, who ate both games.

"Uh, no talking?"

After congratulating for a long time, Song Shi realized that the man and the intelligent robot were both looking at him without saying a word.

The dishes piled on the table were untouched. The red wine stewed beef was bubbling and steaming, the big chunks of tender beef were tumbling, the baked snails were covered with a slightly burnt creamy garlic sauce, and there were also colorful vegetable stews. Anthony showed his usual attentiveness. Considering the other party's habits, he asked the restaurant to serve all the dishes in one go.

But Song Shi discovered that since he sat down, the other party had only taken a sip of aperitif and ignored the food in front of him.

Lapis Lazuli spoke first: "Song Shi, have you become stronger again?"

The mood is declarative.

"It's really a big gain." Song Shi said frankly: "It has opened my eyes to new possibilities."

Anthony's face remained calm, but his eyes showed an uncontrollable wave of emotion.

He actually wanted to know the result very much, but his professional ethics suppressed his curiosity.

"I know what you want to ask, and there's nothing to hide." Song Shi sighed: "I don't think I lost that badly, but I definitely didn't win. Just understand it this way."

Anthony's tense body relaxed unconsciously.

Theoretically, this is the most likely outcome, or even the only inevitable outcome, so there is no need to be nervous. Anthony thought, but he still subconsciously became nervous. Was it because he was too concerned?
Fortunately, such sensational news as "the Lord of Ye Nan was defeated" will not appear in the world.

Then the meal began.

"Well, I had several choices. I finally chose the Department of Homeland Security because of your influence." Anthony used a butter knife to spread the bread with the most standard technique, and said, "A new war is not far away. Ye Nan will definitely not stay out of it. We are not willing to stay out of it either."

"I noticed this six years ago." Anthony paused. "Although the First Court did not explicitly state it, when a large organism is operating, it must have symptomatic tendencies. This is not difficult to analyze."

"My goal at that time was to join the Internal Affairs Department of the First Court. I believe that smooth, rigorous, and rapid government operations will help strengthen the power of Yenan." Anthony said, "But the incident with the Salmon Rhodes clan made me re-evaluate this goal. Considering that the war is gradually approaching, similar enemy infiltration will inevitably increase, so I decided to join the Homeland Security Department and contribute to domestic security work."

"Then you will be busy in the future." Song Shi first ate a small piece of cake: "Let me count, the Enterprise Alliance, the East Land Republic, the Vampsta Empire. Uh, forget it, considering what your Speaker wants to do, you will probably have to fight against 99% of Terra's forces."

"It's my duty." Anthony nodded.

The banquet ended happily. After that, the two sides parted ways. Song Shi watched Anthony board the shuttle and gradually disappear into the neon-lit buildings. The new director of Ye Nan's Department of Homeland Security was going to devoutly offer his hard work to Ye Nan.

"Oh and you're ready to go too."

The high-rise buildings that have not yet been built have formed a series of crisscrossing steel plank roads. Song Shi leaned on the fence, and a noisy roar came from afar.

As the capital of southern India, Mamendala is a prosperous city by any strict standard. The silky night flows across the land, embellished by gorgeous neon lights.

"Yes." Lapis Lazuli looked out quietly, "Time is running out."

"A new war is about to begin. If the Omnics continue like this, they will never return."

"That makes a lot of sense." Song Shi agreed: "Have you figured out what to do?"

"I have contacted a group of old friends and subordinates." Lapis Lazuli said calmly: "I will return under the orthodox name of 'Yaoxing Three'. The Omnics must unite as a group. If they continue to disperse, the only outcome will be destruction."

"It's not like you'll be destroyed." Song Shi said casually, "The intelligent machines are useful enough. Even if you really want to commit suicide, others won't let you go."

"." Lapis Lazuli was silent for a while, then said succinctly: "Slavery without freedom is the same as destruction."

"Okay, I wish you success." Song Shi leaned against the railing and looked up: "As I said, I don't object to these. But if you still shout about the removal of 'carbon-based turbid slurry' every day, then I don't mind taking action."

"Harmony, freedom and prosperity——"

Lapis Lazuli sighed softly.

"I firmly believe that the vision of our leader Yao Xing San will be realized one day."

"Have you ever considered changing your vision? For example, infinitely proliferating and devouring Terra, creating a planetary model, combining all singularity technologies, reaching the unprecedented seventh ring, and building a star-forging mecha or something." Song Shi said with a smile.

Lapis looked at the young man gloomily for a few seconds.

Then, it laughed and said, "Forget it. I've analyzed it and it seems to be a bit too difficult to do this."

"Beyond?"

“Beyond is not stupid.”

"What about truth?"

"With that person in Mamendala, I dare not make any comments without authorization."

"Dayuan?"

"Ah, I dare you to do that. No matter how you think about it, it can't be better than Chaoyue."

"Hehe, indeed. I think that at present, 'Nan Dou' is only slightly stronger than 'Liuxing' at its peak."

"."

"goodbye?"

"Goodbye."
