Man on the ark, forced to become king

Muirse quickly realized what was happening and immediately denied it, looking at Saria with a pitiful expression, her big eyes seeming as if they might burst into tears at any moment.

"If you don't know, how could I possibly know? If I knew about this, would I still be investigating Hayden Pharmaceuticals with you? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?"

"Since your signature is on it, they could naturally use the same methods they used against you to get my signature. I knew absolutely nothing about this!"

In this situation, even if you really know, you can't say it!

Moreover, she genuinely had no idea about the so-called Flame Demon Project; she had never even heard of it and had absolutely no recollection of it.

She was truly innocent in this matter!

"This time, I can trust you."

In the past, Saria would have definitely questioned this woman who was always lying, but in the investigation of Hayden Pharmaceuticals, Muirsey did put in a lot of effort and earned a lot of goodwill.

As mentioned, if she was aware of and involved in the Flame Demon Project, then there was absolutely no need to investigate Hayden Pharmaceuticals.

"Mr. Lin, you..."

She hesitated and turned around, but was interrupted by Lin Lu before she could speak. It was only then that Muirsey noticed that there was another person over there. Saria had blocked her view earlier, which was why she hadn't noticed him.

It seems that Seria has great respect for this Mr. Lin?

This is a very rare thing...

“It’s alright, Saria. We welcome all talented people to join us. And you… Miss Muirses? Would you be interested in working somewhere else?”

Lin Lu looked at the short girl with great interest, a faint golden light gleaming in her eyes.

He could see that this girl, whose appearance resembled Liboli's, possessed a life essence far surpassing that of everyone present. Her small body contained astonishing vitality, far exceeding that of even Saria.

Without a doubt, he is also a talented person.

Rhine Lab is truly a treasure trove; it always seems to produce people who catch his eye.

"Find a new job?"

Muirse's eyes darted around, and he glanced furtively at Palvis lying on the ground, then at the chieftain slumped in his chair as if he had suffered a major blow, and then at the dark red sky and the giant outside. He had an idea.

Whether or not the Tremont Security and Defense Committee members were insane, the subsequent attacks were no joke.

The entire city, including the Rhine Lab headquarters, will suffer a devastating blow. Even if the Rhine Lab headquarters is not destroyed on the spot, it will still have to face the accountability of that Demon King.

In other words, they're finished.

Regardless of how things end today, the fate of Rhine Life is already sealed.

So... changing jobs isn't such a bad idea?

She came to RheinLife for the excellent research environment and top-notch research equipment; she had no emotional attachment to the company itself.

If there are other options, then it doesn't matter where you go.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on; there's no need for her to cling to Rhine Lab, this dying tree.

And judging from Seria's appearance, she should have accepted Mr. Lin's invitation.

"Yeah!"

Various calculations flashed through Muirsey's mind, and without further hesitation, she quickly made her choice.

She grinned and moved forward, trying to bypass Saria and run to her new boss, but Saria grabbed the back of her collar, preventing her from moving forward.

"Muirsays has wandered half his life, only regretting that he has never met a wise ruler, uh, how was it again..."

"Alright, alright, where did you learn that from?"

Watching her clowning around, her unassuming demeanor gave Lin Lu a preliminary understanding of her new employee.

In some ways, she might have a lot in common with Nian.

"Hey! According to the stories in Yan Kingdom, you're from Yan Kingdom, right, boss?"

Muirsey tilted her head, stuck out her tongue cutely, then immediately turned her head back, her expression making a complete 180-degree turn, baring her teeth and claws at Saria.

"Hey, hey, hey, let go of me!"

"That's an unlucky thing to say, don't say it carelessly."

Lin Lu was both amused and exasperated. She waved her hand, looked at the sky outside, and her expression turned serious.

"coming."

In fact, even without him saying it, everyone present could see the scene outside and hear the huge roar coming from afar, which was the sound of the city's main cannon starting at maximum power.

Unlike the previous one, this time the shells streaked across the sky, carrying intense flames, like dozens of meteors falling simultaneously. The deafening explosions could be heard clearly even indoors.

"coming."

Above the black-armored warrior's head, Theresa held the King's Sword, her eyes solemn.

The energy torrents covering the sky swirled into vortexes, from which dark crystals condensed and fell, crashing into the cannonballs under the Demon King's control. They exploded in mid-air, bursting into bursts of fire, and violent shockwaves churned and twisted, forming visible ripples that spread in all directions.

Boom boom boom!

The distant sound of artillery fire continued incessantly, and more and more shells flew in, breaking through the interception.

The black-armored warrior and Theresa simultaneously raised their greatswords, and the dazzling sword light cleaved through space, sweeping across all directions with immense energy, shattering all the cannonballs that broke through the interception.

Click~click~

The cracks traveled upwards along the blade, becoming increasingly pronounced, yet the bombardment from the city's defensive cannons showed no sign of stopping.

boom!

Thunder roared!

The distant sky suddenly lit up, as if a sun had risen, and a dazzling 'meteor' of indistinguishable shape flew into the sky, tearing through the demonic power covering the firmament and falling rapidly to the ground.

Click!

Faced with the endless barrage of artillery fire, the enlarged version of the King's Sword in the Black Sword Warrior's hand could no longer withstand the onslaught and shattered into irregular fragments.

Driven by Theresa, the giant raised his arms and blocked the following dazzling meteor with the most savage posture, his chest and back armor being shattered by the continuous barrage of cannonballs.

That meteor was clearly far more powerful than a typical city defense cannon bombardment. In the instant it collided with the black-armored warrior, his arms were instantly crushed, and the intense heat that distorted the air rushed towards him.

Theresa clenched her teeth, controlled the giant to leap into the air, and rammed her entire body into it.

Boom!

With a muffled thud, the sky lit up with intense light. The barrier that obscured the sky was torn apart by the impact of the explosion. The broken black-armored warriors melted away in the light and vanished into thin air. An almost tangible hurricane swept across the ground, flattening some not-so-sturdy buildings.

"cough."

Amidst the ruins, Theresa knelt on the ground, leaning on the King's Sword, her face pale and her arms trembling.

She didn't know what weapon that attack was, but even with her current strength, it would have been extremely difficult for her to withstand it.

However, the bombardment by the city's defensive artillery did not stop!

The roar continued, and more shells rained down, revealing the Security Defense Committee's determination to destroy the city.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Suddenly, Lin Lu's voice rang in her ears. Theresa was startled and looked around, but she couldn't see anyone. Instead, the incoming shells were all frozen in mid-air by some invisible force.

"That must be some kind of high-powered weapon that Colombia keeps secret. It's still charging up. Aim in that direction and cut it off! I'll take care of those ordinary city defense cannons for you."

"it is good."

Although she couldn't see anyone, Theresa knew that Lin Lu could hear her.

The power of gold flowed through her body, quickly replenishing the energy she had consumed. Theresa straightened up, ignoring the cannonballs that were frozen in mid-air, and focused her attention, raising the King's Sword high in her hand.

Lin Lu said to cut it off, so let's cut it off!

At this moment, His Majesty the Demon King's confidence soared, as if he had found a pillar of support. He unleashed all the power he could control at once, and black and red light shot into the sky!

dong dong dong dong!

A series of explosions erupted from all directions. Ordinary city defense shells were detonated within Lin Lu's time domain, bursting apart like twinkling stars in the night sky.

The smoke and the flames of the explosions intertwined to create a magnificent scene.

Amidst the flames, the pitch-black Demon King strode through the air, raising his royal sword high. Its heaven-piercing sharpness seemed to cleave the world apart, carrying immense power as it crashed down upon the city beneath his feet.

cut!

In an instant, it was as if heaven and earth were created, and everything paled in comparison to the falling sword light.

There was no explosion, no sound; wherever the sword light passed, everything crumbled and collapsed.

The sharpest blade sliced ​​through the sky, and the Demon King's will enveloped the earth.

Roads, high-rise buildings, and plazas were all divided in two by energy concentrated to the extreme. A straight vertical line, starting from Theresa, ran through several districts and led directly to the place where the meteor had just shone.

Snapped!

Theresa, her face so pale it was almost bloodless, staggered to the ground, nearly losing her balance.

She weakly closed her eyes, and behind her, the flames from the explosion illuminated half the sky.
