Man on the ark, forced to become king

"I advise you to keep quiet, Mr. Ace Assassin."

However, he only thought about the action in his mind and did not put it into practice. Even his upper body, which was halfway raised, was pressed down by an overwhelming force and he was unable to move on the floor.

"What exactly do you want?!"

With a quick glance at the girl behind Saria holding a laptop, Jeston immediately recognized her as the head of the Ecology Department at Rhine Life Sciences!

And... this man.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jeston didn't dare to look any longer, nor did he dare to make any further moves.

He could feel the explosive power contained in the hand pressing on his shoulder, as clear as a beacon in the darkness. He had no doubt that if that thing exploded, it could easily tear him to pieces.

So he followed his heart.

These people have brought him here and are treating him, so they must have something to use him for.

In this situation, to resist would be idiotic. Although he is impulsive, he is still able to judge the situation under normal circumstances.

"What is your purpose in kidnapping me? Do you want to infiltrate Beach Umbrella through me?"

After much thought, Jeston could only come up with this one possibility.

After all, his greatest value is probably his relationship with Beach Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. In terms of combat, he can't even beat Saria, that woman. You can't expect him to kill anyone, can you?

"You are very smart, beyond my expectations."

Lin Lu was slightly surprised. It seemed that this guy wasn't so stupid after all. Why did he act like he lost his mind when he saw Saria?

"I can provide you with some information about beach umbrellas, as well as contact details."

What's even more surprising is that before anyone asked, Jeston offered to cooperate. Judging from his calm demeanor, he seemed to have no burden about betraying his former employer.

Of course, Jeston didn't.

In a place like Colombia where there are so many boulders, how many employees would have such a strong sense of belonging to the company?

There may be such people, but Jeston is definitely not one of them.

For him, his own life was the most important thing. What future events could be as real as the immediate threat?

Therefore, when his life was threatened, he did not hesitate to sell the beach umbrella.

Offending a beach umbrella doesn't necessarily mean you'll die, but not cooperating will certainly lead to your death; everyone can see that clearly.

There is an old saying in the Yan Kingdom: "Those who understand the times are heroes."

Lin Lu patted his shoulder and smiled brightly.

"You're very good, very promising, but we didn't call you here for this."

“Didn’t Saria tell you? We need someone to guide us to deal with Loken Williams and his lab, and you’re perfect for that. It’s that simple.”

"Lorcan Williams?"

Jeston chewed on the name, his face darkening.

He remembered that Seria had indeed mentioned this at the coffee shop before. He thought it was just a pretext, but it turned out to be true.

If that's the case... then he'll be overjoyed!

“No problem, I can follow your arrangements. If you plan to kill him, I can lend a hand.”

Unconsciously licking his lips, Jeston readily agreed, even offering to help take down Loken.

Lin Lu saw undisguised hatred in his eyes.

"As far as I know, your surname is also Williams."

Saria suddenly said something.

"Bah! My last name is Miller, Jesston Miller!"

Jeston's eyes were practically overflowing with hatred, and he showed extreme disgust for the 'Williams' form.

“That guy is a beast, a scoundrel, a pervert, trash, a piece of scum! If you have the ability to take him down and destroy his lab, I’d be happy to help, and I don’t need any payment.”

"What is your relationship with him?"

It was clear that Jeston hated Loken intensely, a hatred that ran deep in his bones far stronger than when he saw Saria.

Did the two people once have an extremely close relationship?

Lin Lu seemed to have caught a whiff of something amiss and couldn't help but ask a question.

"By blood, he is my father. Ha, just thinking about it makes me sick."

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere had lessened, Jeston struggled to his feet, rubbing his still-aching chest. He then pulled down his shirt, revealing the black crystals embedded in his flesh, and spoke in a low voice.

"As you can see, I am infected. This is all the work of that scumbag. He is a beast, a damned beast, a madman who would even use his own wife and children as test subjects!"

"It sounds like you do have a reason to kill him."

Lin Lu stroked his chin thoughtfully. He was somewhat interested in Jeston's past, just a little bit.

More than that, he cared about how much help this guy could provide.

He could tell that this guy was eager to recount his past while also trying his best to demonstrate his worth.

These are the easiest people to control.

Jeston is narrow-minded, arrogant, and suicidal. His strengths and weaknesses are very obvious. If you can give him what he wants, he will be your most loyal dog. For his own sake, he can betray anyone at any time.

However, this potential problem is insignificant for the Golden Tree.

The Golden Tree today has no, and cannot have, any living betrayers; the presence of the Blessed One has nipped the possibility of betrayal in the bud.

“I can give you a chance, Mr. Jeston.”

Lin Lu looked at him, her pale golden eyes filled with a terrifying pressure. For a moment, Jeston even felt as if he were looking up at an insurmountable mountain.

"Loken's water tank, that's Loken's laboratory. You may have heard of it, or you may not, it doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that we're prepared to destroy that place, and if possible, also cause trouble for Beach Umbrella Pharmaceuticals."

"And you can play a role in our plan. If your performance satisfies me, then you will have the opportunity to work under me."

"What...can you give me?"

Jeston stiffened and remained silent for a long time before cautiously speaking.

"Everything, everything you want."

Hearing him say that, Lin Lu knew that this guy was tempted. He smiled slightly, placed his hand on Jeston's shoulder, and spoke in a deep voice as if the devil was whispering in his ear.

“You don’t know me, that doesn’t matter. All you need to know is that I just destroyed Rhine Life.”

"Wealth, power, strength... everything can be obtained from me. Show your value, and you will no longer need to live in the shadows. You can stand in a position that was once unattainable, provided that you are useful enough."

"value?"

Upon hearing the words 'destroy Rhine Life,' Jeston's pupils constricted, and he grinned maniacally.

"I'll show you, boss."

Chapter 155 Experiments with Artificial Infected Organs

As a newly established nation with a short history, Colombia has always touted itself as a 'free' country. At the same time, it has accumulated a large amount of wealth through continuous plunder, investing most of it in scientific research, vigorously developing industry and technology, and then using it to arm its military.

They established the best university, with the most cutting-edge equipment and the best research environment.

When it comes to scientific research talent, Colombia has twice as many as any other country.

However, resources are ultimately finite and cannot be provided to everyone indefinitely.

Therefore, in the research atmosphere that Columbia University deliberately creates, competition among researchers is common, and it is extremely fierce.

Unlike the factional political landscape of Colombia, the scientific research community, while also affected to some extent and having its own affiliated powerful families, is actually much more real and ruthless than the officialdom.

The brutal law of the jungle: the strong prey on the weak!

The capable rise, the weak fall; there is no room for falsehood.

Only those who can produce results can enjoy higher treatment and stand in higher positions.

If one lacks ability and has nothing of note, even if one plagiarizes others to occupy a position, one will soon be ousted by others and have one's true colors exposed.

Not to mention using the means of fame and fortune, even scholars, professors, and experts who have made outstanding contributions will be ruthlessly abandoned if they cannot bring enough benefits to Colombia for a long time.

Colombia's research community is like an urban version of the Sargon jungle.

Regardless of the process or the theory, only the real results are the most important.

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, it becomes extremely difficult for some researchers who are dedicated to theoretical research but struggle to monetize their work to establish a personal laboratory that does not rely entirely on large companies or enterprises.

They can only obtain a resource by doing everything they can, even at the risk of taking risks.

Then, they gamble everything, succeeding means life, failing means death.

The Loken Water Tank Laboratory is such a product.

Loken Williams was originally a researcher at Beach Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, but his theories failed to produce results, so he was eventually abandoned and expelled by Beach Umbrella. He then used all the relationships and connections he had accumulated to establish Loken Tank.

This is his last chance.

He needs to achieve something to solidify his position and gain recognition.
