The ruthless king who had long reigned supreme in the water city of Hexagram finally encountered his own villain.

"When I get back this time, no matter the cost, I will get my hands on those mind-blocking technologies that only truly important people can access," Diluc secretly resolved. "This situation absolutely cannot happen again."

Even knowing he was inferior to others, Diluc couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

His pride made it impossible for him to tolerate such humiliation.

But what can you do if you can't stand it?

Now, the initiative is completely in Miku Izayoi's hands, and his anger is meaningless; it will only lead him into a worse situation.

Now, all he can do is keep the woman in front of him calm and try every possible way to escape.

As long as he can escape his current predicament, even if only temporarily, with his backup plans and connections, he can fly freely in the vast sky and leap freely in the boundless sea once he returns to the Hexagram.

However, he needs to resolve his current predicament first.

Composing himself, Diluc coughed twice and said, "You woke me up, which means you want to reach some kind of agreement with me. Although I don't know what you want, as long as you can guarantee my safety, all other conditions are negotiable."

"I do want something from you."

Miku Izayoi smiled.

But such a smile did not make Diluc happy.

He felt an ever-growing sense of foreboding, which filled him with a deep-seated fear.

However, Miku Izayoi did not continue to explain.

About fifteen minutes later, a communication request came from her terminal.

As if she had finally gotten what she wanted, Miku Izayoi's expression softened, and she answered the call.

The next moment, a screen popped up on the terminal showing men and women dressed in suits.

Most of them were over thirty years old, and some were even in their fifties or sixties.

Upon seeing these people's faces, Diluc's pupils constricted slightly.

These were all familiar faces to him.

Nearly half of the decision-making members of Warren & Warren, one of the six major integrated corporate conglomerates, appeared on the screen.

At that moment, he finally understood what Miku Izayoi wanted from him.

Finally.

They had no intention of cooperating with him or profiting from him; they simply dumped him on the shoulders of the conglomerate like trash, leaving him to spend the rest of his life in a dark and hopeless prison, with no hope of ever getting out.

Yes, this is his end.

"Miku, all the decision-makers I could gather are here."

On the screen, Pedra's face was clearly displayed: "You'd better have something really important to report. Half of Warren & Warren's senior management has put aside their work because of you. If you're going to say something trivial, I won't help you next time."

"I've captured two members of the Golden Bough alliance. Is that considered important?"

"Jin, a member of the Golden Bough Alliance?!"

"What a joke!"

How confident are you that they are truly members of the Golden Bough Alliance?

On the screen, not only Pedra, but also other members of the decision-making team showed signs of wavering.

A small number of people were eager to know more, while the majority were skeptical and did not immediately believe her.

This is also a matter of course.

The six major conglomerates have been trying to capture this terrorist organization for a long time, and all intelligence agencies have been mobilized, but they haven't even been able to catch a glimpse of their tail.

And now, an idol who isn't even an intelligence agent is telling them that the members of the Golden Bough Alliance have been captured.

Two of them were even arrested!

This is beyond unbelievable.

However, faced with everyone's questions, Izayoi Miku had no intention of explaining.

"Speak, tell me everything you know."

Miku Izayoi turned the screen around and pointed it at Diluc, who was sitting opposite her.

The voice, infused with spiritual energy, entered his ears, making him unable to control his mouth and thoughts.

He tried his best to prevent the information from being leaked, but under Miku Izayoi's mental interference, he could only tell her all the information about the Golden Bough Alliance that he had in his mind without missing a single detail.

What made him feel most desperate was that this time, Miku Izayoi had not completely brainwashed him, but had kept his mind clear.

He watched helplessly as he pushed himself into the abyss.

The Golden Bough Alliance's original purpose, the evil deeds it has committed over the years, and its composition...

Everything was made public under Miku Izayoi's manipulation.

At first, when the higher-ups saw Diluc, the student council president of Rewolf Black Academy, a notorious and vicious king in the Hexagram, they couldn't understand why he was there.

But as more and more classified information was revealed, the skeptical higher-ups finally realized that the ordinary man in front of them was a member of the Golden Bough Alliance.

Miku Izayoi did not deceive them.

She actually caught a member of the Golden Bough alliance.

And he was one of the core members!

"This is all the information I know about the Golden Bough Alliance."

Twenty minutes later, after revealing the last piece of information, Diluc shut his mouth.

His once uncontrollable mouth finally returned to his control after the narration ended, and he regained control of his body.

But what he lost was the rest of his life.

By informing Warren & Warren's decision-makers of this information about the Golden Bough Alliance, it was equivalent to informing all the top executives of the six major integrated corporate groups.

In the past, when they operated in the shadows, the six major conglomerates couldn't do anything to them.

But now, everything about them—their identities, backgrounds, and motives—is known to the six major conglomerates.

In this world controlled by conglomerates, they have nowhere to escape.

Diluc gritted his teeth and stared intently at Miku Izayoi.

If looks could kill, he would probably have become a god of death by now.

"We will send someone to your location immediately. Do not move."

After a brief discussion, Warren & Warren's senior management quickly reached a consensus.

Perdora, speaking on behalf of the company, said solemnly.

"This is excellent news for the six major conglomerates, and even for the world as a whole. We will handle it carefully, and leave the rest to us."

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Pay for your disrespect with your life

This concludes the call with the Warren & Warren decision-making team.

Also ending was the Golden Bough Alliance, a terrorist organization that had committed countless crimes.

With Diluc and Varda both arrested, the last of the three core members of the alliance in The Golden Bough will eventually face the same fate.

The terrorist organization that once instilled fear in the six major conglomerates is now history.

And all of this is simply because they messed with the wrong people.

Diluc's heart was filled with anger, resentment, and hatred.

But deep within these emotions lies a trace of regret.

None of this would have happened if he hadn't suggested to Varda that she change bodies and hadn't provoked Miku Izayoi.

But it's pointless to say these things now.

Finally, he slumped helplessly into the chair.

"Then it's time to hand over the last thing you have."

After ending the call, Miku Izayoi looked at Diluc again: "I've wasted enough time on you. It's time to end all of this."

"The last thing?" Diluc sneered twice. "Thanks to you, I have nothing left now."

"You sound like you're still quite unconvinced?"

Miku Izayoi tilted her head slightly, as if amused by his indifferent mockery: "A rat like you, who only deserves to stay in the shadows, not only dares to attack the people around me, but even sets your sights on me. The moment you took action, your fate was already sealed."

"When you exposed us to the six major conglomerates, your fate was sealed," Diluc said coldly. "Did you really think they would see you as a great hero who thwarted an evil organization? A savior of the world? A partner of justice?"

Before Miku Izayoi could speak, his voice suddenly rose.

"You're wrong, Miku Izayoi! You defeated us and came into the sights of those higher-ups. In their eyes, you've become someone even more dangerous than us!" he growled hysterically. "They won't allow any variables they can't control to appear in this world. They'll do everything they can to keep you in check. If you refuse to bow down, you'll face an even more miserable end than we did!"

"If these words were taken out of context, people who didn't know the situation might think you were some kind of rebel who wanted to overthrow injustice and tyranny."

Faced with Diluc's prophecy, Miku Izayoi looked disdainful: "If they know what's good for them and don't want to end up like you, then they naturally know what the best course of action is."

"Is it."

Diluc took a deep breath and said coldly, "Then let's wait and see."

Unfortunately, you will no longer have the chance to wait.

Upon hearing this, Diluc paused.

Then, as if he finally understood the meaning behind Miku Izayoi's words, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"you......"

His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and cold sweat broke out on his palms: "You want to kill me?"

"You have offended me, so you must pay the price. I've said it before, I will get something from you." Miku Izayoi said calmly, "But for a worm like you whose life is meaningless, the only way to pay for your disrespect is with your life... although, your life is worthless anyway."

"Are you crazy? Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"

Miku Izayoi's words were not at all a joke.

At this moment, Diluc truly panicked.
