Man on the ark, forced to become king

Doesn't she know what the so-called Flame Demon Plan is?

That was an impossible plan, a tool to appease the military and incidentally swindle some research funding; it had no chance of success from the very beginning.

Otherwise, how could she have delegated such an important project and allowed ordinary researchers to participate?

She is not stupid!

Is this old guy getting senile from spending all his time in the lab? Can't he see the current situation?

"Commander, could we possibly retain a bit of the Balrog's—"

"cannot!"

Before Palvis could finish speaking, Christensen interrupted him, his eyes cold as if he were looking at a dead man.

To be so stupid and still think you're so clever is truly beyond redemption.

Keep the fragments of the Balrog so you can continue the experiments after they leave? Isn't there enough trouble already?

After this incident, the Colombian government will definitely distance itself from Rhine Lab regarding Project Flame Demon, which is a tactic they often use.

If Rhine Life wants to continue developing in this land, it must take the blame, and not only that, it must do it well, at least publicly absolve the Colombian government of any responsibility.

Therefore, everything related to the Flame Demon Plan must be eliminated, not even a tiny bit!

From experimental materials and data to the researchers involved in the Flame Demon Project... everything had to be disposed of.

If Palvis were smart enough, Christensen would hesitate to protect him, after all, the old man is still quite capable.

But if he's determined to die, there's nothing you can do.

The head of the structural engineering department, a high-ranking executive at Rhine Life, is a suitable scapegoat, and should be able to satisfy the public.

"All data and test subjects of Project Flame Demon must be disposed of, and we also want to appease Mr. Lin, otherwise no one can save you, understand?"

Kristen didn't believe that someone of Mr. Lin's caliber would really break ties with Rhine Lab or even the Columbia authorities over a trivial experimental subject.

He must have his own purpose and demands in doing this; the so-called experiment is just an excuse.

As for what exactly it is, it's unclear at the moment.

There's no point in thinking about that kind of question now.

The most urgent task is to appease Mr. Lin.

Rhine Lab can give away everything it can.

It seems that as long as one gets what one wants and achieves one's goal, such a big shot wouldn't dwell on a trivial matter.

This is Colombia after all, and even nobles from Yan have to be somewhat cautious here.

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

"boss?"

Lin Lu led Saria and her group out of the elevator and ran into Lin Qingyan, who was hurrying down the corridor.

Seeing the large disk in her hand, it seemed that she had obtained all the data.

"Is this all the information about the Flame Demon Project?"

"Yes, boss. Rhine Lab copied all the data into it and then destroyed all the data inside the system. I watched them execute all the operations, but... I have very little knowledge in this area, so I can't guarantee there were no oversights. Large companies like this usually have more covert backup methods."

As Lin Qingyan spoke, a troubled look appeared on his face.

She was only vaguely familiar with these modern technological devices and could understand them to a certain extent, but she certainly wasn't an expert. She also couldn't tell whether the other party had tampered with them during the process.

"It's alright. If they all have brains, they wouldn't dare to play any tricks in this kind of thing."

Lin Lu took the disk and tossed it in her palm twice. Orange-red flames appeared out of thin air, enveloping the disk. Wisps of smoke rose up, and the seemingly sturdy disk could not withstand the intense heat of the flames for more than a few seconds before turning into scattered ashes that fell to the ground.

"Burned, burned?"

Hammer stared blankly at the specks of black ash that had fallen to the ground, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

Although she was deeply opposed to this illegal and unethical human experimentation, she had to admit that the plan was indeed quite tempting to many companies.

Who would refuse to mass-produce super soldiers?

However, the final backup of this plan was burned to ashes by Mr. Lin himself right before her eyes. Even the most skilled engineer could not recover the data from a pile of ashes.

The Flame Demon Project just vanished like that?

Mr. Lin, do you really not care at all?

Saria had the same thought in her mind. She looked at Lin Lu standing in front of her with a complicated expression.

Although Mr. Lin's family had previously stated that they didn't care about the Flame Demon Project and had demonstrated incredible methods that could truly cure Oripathy, she still harbored some doubts.

Now, that last bit of doubt has vanished with the falling ashes.

This time, she may have really made the right choice.

The allure of the Flame Demon Plan was immense, but the Golden Tree remained indifferent and showed no hesitation whatsoever.

"Just burn it. What's the point of keeping such a harmful thing?"

Lin Lu clapped her hands as if she had done something insignificant, her expression calm.

"The Flame Demon Plan? It's nothing but the delusion of an incompetent person."

“If power is not obtained through one’s own hands, then disaster will surely follow. We, the Golden Tree, have no need for such things.”

"Jingzhe."

"boss?"

Lin Qingyan was also looking at the small pile of ashes, feeling like she had made a wasted trip. If she had known this would happen, she would have just had the Rhine Lab technicians delete the data. Why did she have to bring back a disk? Just to set it on fire for fun?

"Notify the Emperor, Old Wei, and the Rat King that it's time to make a move, especially the Emperor. Tell him that I owe him a favor this time, and get Penguin Logistics' intelligence network moving. No matter what method you use, I need to get Rhine Lab's dirt on them within a day, something that could shake the foundations of the company."

"Oh? Yes, I understand."

The girl with the Qilin name responded and, seeing Lin Lu leading the group forward, quickly followed. She then took out another golden leaf from her bag, stuck it to her forehead, and began entering information.

She had only been with the Golden Tree for a short time and was not yet very skilled at using this power, so she could only use rather clumsy methods.

"Mr. Lin, are you... are you going to take action against Rhine Lab? Now?"

Saria didn't expect her new boss to act so quickly. He said he would stand up for them, and he actually started to take action right away.

Do such people really exist in this world? Are they so valuable that they would make Golden Tree and Rhine Lab stand against them?

She felt instinctively uneasy and didn't believe that there would be any unprovoked sacrifices in this world.

"I'm not joking."

Lin Lu didn't turn her head, but waved her hand lightly.

"I, Lin, believe that I have many shortcomings and am far from being a perfect person. However, I have one advantage: I always keep my word. In Yan Guo's words, I am a man of my word and a man of my word. If I say I will give you justice, I will give you justice."

"Just watch."

As the last sentence was spoken, the group stopped in front of the headquarters office.

The door slid open to both sides, and Lin Lu stepped inside, immediately spotting Christensen standing in front of his desk.

The governor-general no longer displayed any arrogance or imposing manner, and forced a smile.

“Ms. Christensen, I have seen Ifrit. You have done a good job.”

Without giving the commander a chance to speak, Lin Lu launched an attack directly. He sensed the barrier enveloping the office, which he assumed was some kind of defense mechanism, but he didn't pay it any mind.

"Is this how Columbia Enterprises operates—pushing young children onto the experimental table?"

"Of course, I can only condemn you on a moral level in this matter. As for the specific issues concerning the child, someone else will come and talk to you."

Have you heard about something?

"what?"

Christensen's smile froze, and she subconsciously followed up with a question.

"Kazdel, the current Kazdel has ended its civil war and completed the reorganization of the royal court. You should know what this means."

"The Balrog fragments used in the so-called Balrog Project, as well as Ifrit, whom you used as a test subject, all came from Kazdel. Among them, the Balrog fragments also involve the lost royal court of the Sarkaz."

Noticing Christensen's face gradually turning pale, Lin Lu smiled slightly and continued, "Coincidentally, I am a good friend of the Regent of Kazdel and Her Majesty the Princess, so we can talk to each other."

"Do you think what will happen if they find out about this?"

Chapter 140 The Commander's 'Confidence'

You can't do that!

Upon hearing Lin Lu's words, Christensen could no longer sit still.

What kind of place is Kazdel?

That was the largest battlefield in the world, bar none!

What is the international image of the Sarkaz people?

Violent, belligerent, and insane, it's no exaggeration to say he was notorious.

Kazdel boasts the largest battlefield on the entire continent of Terra. Almost their entire territory is engulfed in war, natural disasters ravage their lands, and slaughter is the dominant theme there.
