In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

However, this location itself is very alluring; the dimples are known as the sexy eyes of the human body, and also have a lovely nickname, "Venus's dimples".

Combined with her outfit, it truly maximized his attack speed.

Jiang Chengcheng was also quite exhausted by him, and collapsed there panting heavily.

Upon learning of the existence of the Stigmata, she simply buried her head in Xu Shi's chest, smiling foolishly like a silly girl, "Is that so? Well... that's wonderful."

She didn't dwell on the specifics, but for her, having this kind of thing would give her a greater sense of security with Xu Shi.

that's enough.

Seeing her smiling happily, Xu Shi's lips also curled up.

Honestly, a few months ago, could you have imagined she would become like this? In a sense, this also demonstrates the power of her superpower. Although the progress is slow, once successful, the feedback is truly well worth it.

Of course, the premise is that you also have to treat others well, otherwise you will probably achieve less with more effort.

Xu Shi felt that he treated Jiang Chengcheng quite well, or rather, he treated the other female leads just as well.

Although we are villains, no one stipulates that villains must beat and scold those around them. Control is one aspect, but there is no need to mistreat and criticize them. Loyalty gained in this way is good loyalty.

"correct."

While enjoying the afterglow, Jiang Chengcheng said softly, "Actually, the team we've been working with lately has been a bit lazy. The people from 'Prism' seem to be slacking off."

"……right?"

Xu Shi snapped out of his daze and chuckled as if he had expected it.

That's what a dog woman is like.

Now is the time when "twins" are all the rage, so the development of subsequent products can indeed be put on hold. Or even if a better new version is developed, it won't be released to the market immediately. Otherwise, just wait for the Osborn effect to teach you a lesson.

But the real reason behind it is that Xie Qingyan wants to take this opportunity to go it alone, just like Jiang Chengcheng developed the second-generation chip. He doesn't believe that Xie Qingyan wouldn't use the data obtained in the first phase to carry out unilateral development without his knowledge.

Who told him to think the same way? Cooperation alone isn't enough; I have to lead you by the nose.

Thinking about it this way, he realized that his fiancée really did have a lot in common with him in some ways.

This is actually why he admires Xie Qingyan more than others. Could it be said that this is a tacit understanding between villains?

Of course, this is on the premise that he can keep Xie Qingyan under his control like this, otherwise it will not be fun, but trouble.

The same applies from a strategic perspective, since Prism remains irreplaceable for them at present.

On a smaller scale, the "Overlimit Project" cannot function without them for the time being; on a larger scale, the two conglomerates complement each other, and there is actually a lot of room for development... It doesn't necessarily have to be limited to this aspect.

To be fair, the period when "Snake Ring" and "Prism" developed the fastest was the decade or so when my father and Xie Xian worked together intensively. It wasn't until the older generation passed away one after another, coupled with the friction between myself and Xie Qingyan, that the pace of the two conglomerates gradually slowed down.

Thinking about it this way, good habits shouldn't be lost, or rather, what should really be swallowed up is "Prism" instead of "Shark Tooth". In comparison, the priority is really clear.

However, this matter is also troublesome. After all, Xie Qingyan is not someone who can be manipulated at will. Xie Laoliu is not called that for nothing. Before, she was restless and tried to steal his victory. Fortunately, he took precautions in advance, which prevented her from succeeding.

But the fact is that after that, the two were in a cold war, and apart from exchanging a few words about the overall distribution of the "Overlimit Project", they basically had no contact.

And she happens to be the only one who can't even plant seeds if she wants to, making her level of difficulty completely different from others... It can only be said that even as an awakened villain, dealing with another villain is not so easy.

Not to mention, there's still a troublesome element in his own family that hasn't been completely resolved, namely Lin Wenhua.

After a period of silence, the old guy has now reappeared. It would be unreasonable for him to remain completely uninvolved in company affairs. However, he no longer seems to have the same aura that once dared to challenge me. He remains silent and nods in agreement when asked questions.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would no longer choose to stand by his side; at most, they would politely address him as "Old Lin," which would be their last act of kindness towards him.

But even so, Xu Shi knew that this was far from enough. A drowning dog had to be beaten until it couldn't get up anymore... Anyway, he had already thought about assassinating him, so there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two of them. It wasn't that he could be careless just because he was showing weakness here. If he really wanted to back down and beg for peace, Xu Shi wouldn't give him that chance.

The baby died and you're here to breastfeed? Where were you before?

If we really have to talk about it, dealing with him first is the most important thing. There are certainly many things going on outside, such as "Dragon City," "Shark Tooth," "Prism," and Shenhe, all of which are troublesome. Under such circumstances, ensuring the stability of the rear is extremely important. After all, we must first secure the home front before we can deal with external threats.

Not to mention that the company is currently on a steady upward trajectory. It's not the theft itself that's worrisome, but the fact that someone might be eyeing the company. If that person were to launch a surprise attack from behind, it would be a serious matter.

But to be fair, the old guy has been running the company for so long, and even though his influence is far less than before, he still feels a bit too powerful to be controlled. If we're going to deal with him, we have to strike decisively, otherwise things will just get messy...

Wait, there seems to be a way?

Xu Shi blinked, looked at Jiang Chengcheng in his arms, and revealed a subtle smile.

The second-generation chip might come in handy.

-

At the same moment, in an unknown corner of Sin City.

A disheveled man wandered through the alley, wearing a tattered cloak that obscured his face.

This kind of attire could easily arouse suspicion, but fortunately, this is Sin City, so most people just ignore it.

"Damn it...damn it!"

This person is of course Shen He.

He escaped with the help of the "beacon," and upon returning to Sin City, he saw the Sixth District being crushed and swallowed up by the "Long Knife Gang."

Lei Song and Zhang Shinian both met with terrible fates... Lin Yue is the only one still alive, but this makes him somewhat apprehensive.

His failure was not unrelated to her intelligence; who knows what she did after leaving him... Even if she was innocent, given his current situation, he really didn't have the face to see her.

This made him hate Xu Shi even more.

To be fair, he was once a high-ranking young master of a conglomerate, so he couldn't stand the condescending and contemptuous look in Xu Shi's eyes when they confronted each other.

Back when "Tianhe" was still around, what was "Shehuan" compared to him?

But now, he is inferior to Xu Shi in every way, and he is humble to the core. His so-called resistance and everything else seem like a joke.

Not to mention that he said such things to Xia Wuyou, his childhood sweetheart, and even threw himself into the arms of his enemy, which made him furious.

"cough!"

Blood couldn't help but seep from the corner of Shen He's mouth—the backlash from "United We Stand" was too great. Not only was he defeated in his previous clash with Xu Shi's superpowers, but the deaths of those "Disge" members he had painstakingly recruited had also greatly reduced the power he had accumulated.

Just like when "Spark" was severely damaged by "Shark Tooth," it was even worse.

However, he was unwilling to give up. After all, he still had a breath left. As long as a person is alive, there is hope, isn't there?

The thought of having nothing left and his wanted posters plastered all over Sin City dampened his hard-won fighting spirit.

He really didn't know what to do, and a feeling of helplessness kept welling up inside him.

But it was at this moment that...

The slightly damaged communication bracelet on my wrist suddenly received a message.

[Divine Descent:]

You have a game message.

Upon seeing the message, Shen He rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to it. In the past, this game was just a means for him to secretly transmit information. What could it be now? Probably just junk information.

However, he really had nothing to do at the moment, so after thinking about it, he leaned against the wall and opened the interface.

It was a temporary message from an unknown number, containing only seven characters.

However, upon seeing it, Shen He froze on the spot.

Brother, how have you been lately?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 110 The Forgotten

"Xiao Qin, what have you been through all these years?"

Inside a cave in the Birchwood Plain, Shen He looked at the girl in black robes before him, his surprise and excitement lingering for a long time.

Just like when he saw that message.

His younger sister had always been a source of worry for him. Shortly after they escaped together, she got separated from him during a conflict and he never heard from her again.

She was only twelve years old then... Over the years, Shen He has never given up searching for his sister, but unfortunately, his abilities are limited, so he has not made any progress.

Not to mention his current situation, just thinking about Shen He makes him feel quite guilty.

However, he did not expect that his sister would take the initiative to contact him at this time.

Rather than saying he actually had doubts about it, it was just a piece of information in the game, maybe it was just one of those rounded corner business opening tricks?

But he had nothing left to lose, and after much thought, he followed the directions and came here.

After confirming the identity of the person in front of him, he believed that everything was real, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

It's been a long time since I've seen my younger sister. She's grown into a beautiful young woman with exquisite features. Her figure, hidden beneath her wide robe, is slender and tall, indescribably beautiful and captivating.

His complexion was slightly pale, and he had weak breathing when he spoke, which made him look like he was in a sub-healthy state.

He felt quite distressed seeing this and was eager to know what had happened.

"Brother, I've finally seen you..."

Shen Qin, completely disregarding his disheveled appearance, buried her face in his arms and burst into tears.

After a long, tender moment, she began to recount the whole story.

“…Is that so?”

After listening to his sister's story, Shen He gradually understood everything.

This was the first time he had ever known that such a force existed outside the City of Night Sin.

Clearly, the younger sister held a high position among them—not only the two siblings, but also many other "Forgotten Ones" dressed in black robes like Shen Qin, were in this cavern.

These people looked at her with awe, and seemed to follow her every word.

"It's alright, it's really nothing."

Shen Qin didn't seem to care much about this, and even asked somewhat shyly, "And you, brother, how have you been these past few years?"

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Shen He was momentarily speechless.

The originally warm atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Reuniting with my sister should have been a good thing.
