Man on the ark, forced to become king

Kronos supported half of his body with his remaining arm, nodding repeatedly, the azure in his eyes dimming.

"If I had regained all my strength, I would not have lost so miserably. But a loss is a loss."

"As agreed, the strong shall possess everything. I salute you, King of Gold."

Chapter 124 Miss Mostima is not calm

"So why fight each other endlessly?"

"Time is the cruelest thing, because it can change everything and also bring all the answers."

"Is an eternal and immortal God truly eternal?"

"I don't know, I don't know what those of the same kind, compatriots, or similar things are fighting for, or what they are killing each other for."

"I don't know when it started, but God and man became opposing sides."

"From the birth to the decline of civilization, from ancient times to the present and into the future, the battles and confrontations have never ceased."

Why must civilization and barbarism be opposed and fight each other in order to survive?

"Why do gods who claim to be eternal, who clearly do not need human offerings or faith, still think about ruling and conquering?"

Where does human greed and desire end? Why plunder power that cannot be controlled when there are countless ways to achieve the same goal?

"I don't know, I don't know, I have no answer."

"I found a crack in the torrent of time, and here I linger, barely clinging to life."

"As time goes by, the existence of gods has disappeared in history, while human records have become increasingly rich and profound."

"Perhaps this world doesn't need me at all, so why should I even think about going out?"

"A golden tree? Ah, a golden tree..."

“Indeed, you are very strong, I can feel it. That is not your limit yet. However, I do not crave anything from the outside world. Agreements must be kept. I myself have no needs. It is enough for me to stay here.”

"Think about it, if I wanted to get out, could this crude seal stop the power of time?"

"I am here because I want to, that's all."

The echo of Cronus lingered in my ears as the pure white space dissipated. When I opened my eyes again, the sky was still dark and high, and fine snow was falling.

This permafrost land is never short of wind and snow.

"boss?!"

W suddenly cried out in surprise, rubbed her eyes, and wondered if she had been looking at the snow scene too much and her eyes were hurting.

How come everything was fine just a moment ago, and now my clothes are gone?

Although... this seems alright?

Although Lin Lu in her normal state did not have the muscular physique she displayed during her hand-to-hand combat with Kronos, she was still extremely beautiful. The mad fire mark imprinted on her body added a touch of ferocity and mystery, almost perfectly embodying the word 'masculinity'.

In short, W is craving it; she was already craving it, but now she's even craving it more.

It's nothing to hide when subordinates lust after their boss; aside from the very beginning, she hardly ever tried to conceal it.

Just like now, her extremely aggressive gaze directly revealed her thoughts and feelings, almost pressing against Lin Lu, which made Lin Lu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"There was a slight mishap, but everything's fine now. How about we talk about Talulah?"

Feeling that W seemed to be about to pounce and lick her, Lin Lu quickly took two steps back, used the power of the Golden Tree to retrieve clothes from the Great Blessing and put them on, only then did she feel safe.

"Tsk."

W clicked his tongue regretfully, and considering there were so many people around, he didn't actually do anything outrageous.

"We've been exposed over Talulah's side, so it's not easy to get close to them. We're planning to follow behind them and see what happens."

"It's alright, it's not your fault. In that situation, you had no other choice but to do that."

Lin Lu thought about it and came up with an idea.

Now that W and the others have been exposed, why not just replace them with a different group?

Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be W and the others who do this. After taking over Babel Tower, the Golden Tree side doesn't have a lot of capable people, but it's not a small group either.

As far as he knew, the 'doctor' who had appeared on the battlefield where Theresa was attacked had also joined the Golden Tree along with Babel Tower.

She said she was a doctor, but Lin Lu didn't believe her at all. What kind of doctor is that? As long as you kill all the enemies, your teammates won't get hurt, right?

Although we don't know the limit of her combat strength, she is definitely at least as strong as an inner guard, much stronger than the current W. She should be more than capable of protecting Talulah. Even if she encounters a danger that she cannot handle, she can at least hold out until the Golden Tree's aid arrives.

Moreover, Talulah isn't some sickly, shut-in rich girl; Draco's vitality is quite strong.

"Alright, you guys keep an eye on them here for now. I'll find someone to take your place within a day or two."

"Also, Texas, you don't need to stay in Syracuse anymore. Let Lappland handle the Syracuse situation. You should go back to Penguin Logistics, otherwise that Emperor will secretly curse me again for stealing his employees."

This decision was made on a whim, without prior planning.

The main reason for doing this is...

Lin Lu glanced discreetly at the red-haired angel being held down by Fiameta, then secretly looked at Mostima, feeling that what she was doing was probably the right thing to do.

It's clear that Mostima takes good care of that child. So, having her join Penguin Logistics, with Texas watching over her, would allow her to develop her skills without any major dangers.

Ahem, he remembered clearly what Cronus meant by 'companion,' so it was no big deal for him to take special care of the younger sister that Mo cared about.

"Boss! What about me? What about me!"

Seeing that everyone had been settled, W was a little unhappy. That's just her personality. If there are no tasks to do, she will feel a sense of crisis that she has lost her value, which is worse than death.

All I can say is that he's a model employee; even Colombian capitalists would be moved to tears.

"You should take a break. There's nothing much to do for the time being. If you're bored, you can stay in Syracuse with Lappland for a while. Once we find the trail of those werewolves, it will be your turn to make your move."

To be fair, Lin Lu wanted W to have some free time. No matter how much he liked fighting, he couldn't be fighting all the time or on his way to fight, right?

People shouldn't be too tense; they always need to rest.

"……Fine."

W was clearly not satisfied with the result, but she wouldn't go against Lin Lu's wishes. The boss had said to take a break, so she would.

"Boss, we don't have any reliable information about the werewolf hunters yet. Please give us some more time!"

Upon hearing Lin Lu mention the werewolf hunters, Lappland's tail drooped, her wolf ears perked up, and she patted her chest to assure them, as if afraid that Lin Lu might have some objections to their work.

This boss is ridiculously strong. She felt a lot of pressure because she wasn't very familiar with him, and she didn't dare to act like she usually did.

"Well, no rush. Those people have the ability to hide in Syracuse for so long, it's obvious that they can't all be found in a short time. No need to worry."

Lin Lu waved her hand, not caring. The wolf hunters had been hiding in Syracuse for countless years. If their lair were so easily discovered, they would have been wiped out by other families long ago.

"Take it slow, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I won't blame you for it."

"Now, I'll take you back."

Before anyone could react, Lin Lu waved her hand, scattering a golden light that landed on Fiameta and Remuel, and then grabbed Mostima's hand.

-------------------------------------

Longmen, the bar at the end of the earth.

The emperor lay back on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine and swirling it gently, while the record player beside him spun slowly, looking quite content.

Suddenly, the golden leaves on the office bookshelf shone brightly, and the next second, two figures appeared out of thin air.

Fiamet was agile, and even carrying heavy equipment did not affect her flexibility. In the blink of an eye, she did a somersault and landed steadily, smashing the record player directly below her to pieces with the metal box on her back.

Remule, who also fell from mid-air, reacted a beat slower, plopping the reclining penguin onto the sofa and touching his hair, still not quite understanding what was happening.

"Hmph, hmph, ahhhhhh!"

The penguin's piercing shriek nearly shattered the office windows. The Emperor flapped his short wings wildly, pushing away the unidentified object that had sat on him, and flew into a rage.

"Who! Who dares to attack a great rap artist! Is there no law anymore! Will Lungmen ever recover?!"

"Uh, Mr. Emperor?"

Fiamet had met the Emperor before; after all, Mostima had worked at Penguin Logistics for quite some time, so naturally he would recognize him.

She quickly pulled the bewildered Remuel behind her, forcing an apologetic smile onto her face.

"Great Emperor, you..."

"Aaaaaaah! I got a limited edition collectible vinyl record!!!"

The indescribable penguin screams rang out again, so loud that Fiameta and Remuel covered their ears.

"Well, Your Majesty, it's actually like this!"

Fiameta swore she had never spoken so fast in her life, delivering her explanations at a rap-like pace in a short time, leaving the Emperor stunned and clicking his tongue in disbelief.

“Little girl, you have a real talent for rap, okay, that’s not the point.”

With a pained look at the vinyl record broken into three pieces, the Emperor shakily stood up from his chair, walked over to Remuel, looked him up and down, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Lin Lu finally did something decent. Welcome, little girl. You can think of a code name for yourself."

"We at Penguin Logistics need talent like you!"

"I happen to have a plan to recruit new employees recently. Once Texas returns, the logistics contract for Lungmen can be handed over to you."
