Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Silence reigned all around, and Zhou Fengliu's voice slowly rose:

"King Nathan, you must live! If you die... then you can't renege on this debt, can you?"

He gave King Nathan no chance to commit suicide and shift the blame onto him.

If King Nathan were to die, what would that be seen by outsiders?

An unknown employee of Nathan's Company infiltrated Nathan Island, uprooted the Nathan Tree, and forced King Nathan to his death...

If word gets out, Behemoth and the Emerald Society will definitely launch an attack on All-Knowing...

He wouldn't give anyone the opportunity to exploit such a basic vulnerability.

...

"What account...?"

"You've already forgotten what you just said? Fine, let me remind you again. You said you'd give me everything on Nathan Island if I helped you..."

Zhou Fengliu gave Nasen a slight reminder.

Although the divine kingdom built upon the divine tree system has gradually declined, the land of the divine kingdom still exists... and the people of the divine kingdom still exist.

Since King Nathan dared to use these as bargaining chips, Zhou Fengliu dared to accept them as well.

However, he couldn't ask for it outright.

He had to fire the gun quietly.

The main purpose is to seek some benefits for the country, and incidentally, to make some profit for oneself.

...

"Since you say you can give me everything on Nathan Island, then I want you to live and manage Nathan Island for me. Is that reasonable?"

"You'll remain King Nathan, and I, while nominally the next King Nathan in your eyes, am really just your angel investor..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, everyone frowned at first, but then quickly realized what he meant.

Angel investor...

This is using King Nathan as a stand-in.

The substitute becomes the real person... the real person becomes the substitute.

Can you still play like this?

...

On the other side of the ocean, thousands of miles away, at the headquarters of NaDuTong.

Zhao Fangxu was in a dark room, preparing to do something with Gao Erzhuang on the dark web, to give Behemoth on Nathan Island a little trouble.

Before Gao Erzhuang could even get started, Zhao Fangxu received a satellite phone call.

"Hey?"

"Is this Mr. Zhao? This is Xiao Zhou... I have something I'd like to report to you."

Zhou Fengliu's voice came through the phone, and Zhao Fangxu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing it.

"Xiao Zhou, what difficulties are you facing on Nathan Island? Tell me..."

"The difficulties... are manageable, we can overcome them. But there's something I need to ask you about..."

Zhou Fengliu informed Zhao Fangxu over the phone about King Nasen's request for help and his uprooting of the Nasen Divine Tree.

When he heard that he had uprooted the Nathan Tree, Zhao Fangxu's brows furrowed unconsciously, and his heart jumped into his throat.

“Xiao Zhou…you did something too reckless. If Behemoth or the Emerald Society find out, we’ll have a hard time explaining ourselves,” Zhao Fangxu said.

Zhou Fengliu's move was like trying to steal the enemy's base right in front of the enemy hero while playing a game.

If others found out, they would definitely beat up the person who broke into their home.

“Well… Mr. Zhao, this happened so suddenly, it was quite unexpected. No one else could destroy that sacred tree, but I was able to. I suspect that King Nathan is trying to extort money from us…” Zhou Fengliu replied.

"This isn't the time for jokes... Xiao Zhou, are you sure the Nathan Tree is destroyed?" Zhao Fangxu asked.

"Ah."

"Are you sure no one except King Nathan has noticed?"

"Correct."

"it is good..."

After receiving confirmation from Zhou Fengliu, Zhao Fangxu nodded.

Although things were a bit dangerous, Zhou Fengliu managed to get the job done.

From the company's perspective, Nathan Island needs to address two main issues.

First, to stop Behemoth from invading Nathan Island.

Secondly, the Nathan Tree must not fall into the hands of any party; under certain circumstances, it could even be destroyed...

For the company, the Nathan Tree is like an enhanced cultivation furnace, easily enabling the production of superhuman troops...

Destroying the Nathan Tree would greatly help maintain the balance of the world's superhumans.

As for stopping Behemoth...

With the Tree of God gone, Behemoth will surely be enraged and may launch a retaliatory raid on Nathan Island.

of course.

If they dare, Behemoth will be at a disadvantage in international public opinion; it all depends on what Behemoth chooses to do.

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

Ultimately, the most important thing is the Nathan Tree.

On the surface, he had to reprimand Zhou Fengliu for completing the task, but privately, he had to acknowledge Zhou Fengliu's abilities.

“Xiao Zhou, next time you need to tell me in advance. If you do this without consulting me, how can the company face King Nathan and Nathan Island in the future?”

Zhao Fangxu suppressed the urge to smile, then spoke to Zhou Fengliu in a serious tone.

"The leader is right... Speaking of King Nathan, he just mentioned that after Behemoth leaves, he'll see if we can establish some cooperation to help with the development of Nathan Island..."

"?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhao Fangxu raised an eyebrow.

He didn't answer Zhou Fengliu immediately. Instead, he adjusted his round-framed glasses, paused for two seconds, and then spoke:

"Xiao Zhou, this is not allowed in principle. The company definitely cannot bring this up with Nathan Wang on its own initiative, after all, so many eyes are watching..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's answer, Zhou Fengliu understood what his leader meant.

In principle, yes, but in practice, no.

In principle, it is not allowed, but in practice it is.

The fact that this matter is difficult to handle means that it can be handled.

If the statement "try your best to do this" means that the matter cannot be accomplished, then it means that the matter cannot be accomplished.

Zhao Fangxu's statement that it was "not permissible in principle" was actually a way of waiting for King Nathan to take the initiative and for Nathan Island to initiate cooperation before the matter could proceed...

In response to Zhao Fangxu's implied meaning, Zhou Fengliu reacted quickly:

"Rest assured, sir. This matter was brought up by King Nathan himself. With the Divine Tree gone, and Behemoth's unsportsmanlike intervention this time, King Nathan figured the agreement from a thousand years ago was no longer useful..."

"They also need to consider the future of Nathan Island..."

Hearing that Zhou Fengliu understood his meaning, Zhao Fangxu didn't elaborate further. He then said:

"Xiao Zhou, you're about to join our company's board of directors. We recognize your abilities. As for Nathan's matter, you handle it... Remember one thing, don't be reckless..."

"Yes, don't worry, boss."

The phone hangs up.

Zhou Fengliu looked at King Nasen not far away and sighed with emotion.

Eh.

This angel investor in Nathan Island shows how much he cares about the island!

...

not far away.

Alfonso looked at King Nathan and asked:

"Your Majesty...are we really going to...make peace with the guy who destroyed the sacred tree? Do you really want to become his substitute?"

"What's the difference between that guy and Behemoth? The same businessman's face, the same scheming intentions."

After listening to Alfonso's words, King Nathan remained silent for a few seconds.
