One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

"Amiable? Reasonable? Ecological protection?"

Ron recalled Jarrett's tearful account on the phone of the warship being seized.

He irritably threw his cigar into the ashtray and rubbed his temples hard.

These Chinese government officials are even more shameless than capitalists when they spout official jargon!

"It seems we can't get the truth out of official channels."

Ron stood up, his eyes becoming unusually calm and resolute.

The core secrets of the Nathan Tree are related to the direction of Behemoth's genetic engineering over the next ten years, and absolutely cannot be lost!

"In that case, we have no choice but to send someone to make contact with this monster in person."

Ron pressed the internal communicator on the table:

"Have the negotiation team prepare. Bring sincerity and leverage, and land on the island immediately."

"Tell them that if they see Zhang Tianyi, no matter what demands he makes, they should keep him calm first!"

"We must not let him become an obstacle to our success!"

Chapter 274 The composition of our team is becoming more and more criminal!

After the order is issued.

Ron leaned back in his large executive chair, loosening his tie in frustration.

"This is really a headache."

Ron tapped his fingers repeatedly on the table, his mind replaying Zhang Tianyi's messages.

For the sacred tree on Nathan Island, for the ultimate secret that could revolutionize human genetic engineering.

The Behemoth board of directors had been planning and strategizing for several years!

The amount of human, material, and energy invested is simply astronomical.

Everything was proceeding smoothly, and the script was perfectly clear.

Who knew Zhang Tianyi would suddenly appear out of nowhere!

This monster not only has ridiculously high combat power, but also acts completely without any rules or methods.

If they're in a good mood, they'll seize your warship; if they're not, they'll just bombard you with torpedoes.

"Click".

The office's automatic doors slid open to both sides.

A muscular man with blond hair parted in the middle and wearing glasses walked in unhurriedly, holding a tablet computer in his hand.

He was dressed in a well-tailored suit, exuding an air of scholarly refinement, but his prominent pectoral muscles revealed that he was by no means a weak scholar.

Behemoth Director, Ron's strategist and close friend—Gade.

“Ron, you look like you just drank a cup of expired black coffee.”

Gade casually placed the tablet on Ron's desk and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“Gade, you’ve come at the perfect time.”

Ron sighed and pointed to Zhang Tianyi's file photo on the screen.

"Look at this variable. Our plan is about to come to a close, but this big shot has landed on the island at this crucial moment."

Do you think...he will become an obstacle to our takeover of the Nathan Tree?

Gade didn't answer immediately. Instead, he picked up the coffee pot on the table, poured himself a cup, and stirred it gently a couple of times.

"I just carefully studied all the profiles and analyses of this Celestial Pivot True Person that came from the headquarters think tank."

“Ron, you’re just overthinking it. You’re being far too pessimistic about the situation.”

"Oh?" Ron sat up straight, his eyes lighting up with interest.

"How to say?"

"First of all, judging from his series of actions in China, this real person has a very typical 'unrestrained' mentality."

Gade began his analysis methodically:

"He is extremely averse to trouble and hates being bound by rules. He finds even walking a few extra steps tiring unless someone actively provokes him."

Do you think someone like that would be interested in world domination or protecting some damned sacred tree?

“Secondly,” Gade held up two fingers, a confident smile playing on his lips:

"Although this man is high and mighty, he has a very obvious weakness."

"What weakness?" Ron pressed eagerly.

"He never refuses gifts from others, and he is very protective of his own people."

Gade highlighted several photos on the tablet, which were the secretly taken pictures of Feng Zhenghao and the Wang family giving gifts.

"He has received many gifts from different forces and people, and he has never refused any of them."

As long as you show enough sincerity, adopt a humble attitude, and don't cross the line with his lackeys..."

Gade leaned back in his chair and confidently concluded:

"My intuition tells me that this terrifying Eastern monster will not only not be an obstacle for us, but will even..."

Given the right resources, he could become Behemoth's most honored friend at any time!

After listening to this meticulous and precise analysis...

Ron's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed!

"Hahahahaha!"

Ron slapped his thigh and let out a hearty laugh, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest.

"Gade! You truly are my best brother! Your brain is even better than a supercomputer!"

Ron stood up excitedly and paced back and forth in the office.

"A problem that can be solved with money and gifts, is it even a problem for us Behemoths?!"

……

at the same time.

Nathan Island, on a primeval jungle path leading to the royal city.

"Old Qing, raise your shoulder a bit, this sedan chair is about to tip over into the ditch."

Wang Ye gritted his teeth, trudging through the muddy tree roots, his face full of resentment.

"Don't talk like that, it's easy for you to say. My bespoke leather shoes are all muddy now, it breaks my heart."

To maintain his image, Zhuge Qing walked with an extremely awkward gait.

On a luxurious sedan chair.

Zhang Tianyi was lying comfortably, with a freshly picked banana leaf on his head to shield him from the sun.

Chen Duo walked on the left side of the sedan chair, holding a portable fan in her hand, and earnestly blowing air on Zhang Tianyi.

Lu Linglong was on the right, occasionally handing over peeled grapes.

And leading the way was the upside-down one.

This once-powerful tyrant on the island now holds a tree branch in his hand, like a dutiful steward.

While stirring up trouble in the grass ahead, he bowed and scraped as he introduced himself:

"Please be careful, Master. This rock is a bit slippery. After crossing two more small hills, we'll reach the outskirts of the royal city."

Zhang Chulan followed behind.

Looking at the groveling figure hanging upside down, he couldn't help but purse his lips, inwardly cursing the foreigner for stealing his business.

Just as this quirky team was slowly making its way forward...

Suddenly, hurried footsteps and suppressed arguing came from the woods ahead.

"Fuck! Do you alchemists even know anything about public relations?!"

"Make way for us! This is Behemoth's private passage!"

"Bullshit! Our European Association is the most polite! You bunch of brutes who only know how to spray pesticides, get out of here!"

Accompanied by the sound of leaves being roughly pushed aside.

The two groups of people collided, panting heavily, at the corner of the path ahead.

The group on the left was Behemoth's public relations team, led by a blond man in a suit.

On the right was the well-dressed delegation of the European Alchemists' Association, issuing an apology.

These two groups were just pushing and shoving each other on the path, neither willing to give in.

Then I looked up.

They happened to run into Zhang Tianyi, who was sitting on a sedan chair, leisurely spitting out grape seeds.

"..."

Silence fell over the jungle instantly.

The two groups of foreigners, who were just on the verge of exchanging blows, suddenly became calm the moment they saw Zhang Tianyi's face.

His arrogant expression vanished instantly.

A face change at lightning speed!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The two groups did not communicate beforehand at all, yet their actions were remarkably synchronized.

Their knees buckled, and they all knelt down on the grass in perfect unison!
