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

"What have you done! You destroyed the sacred tree!"

"?"

Hearing Alfonso's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow:

"What did I do? Wasn't I helping King Nathan solve his problem?"

"According to what your king just said, isn't he suggesting that I succeed to the throne of King Nathan? Shouldn't the golden branch be severed before I can ascend to the throne of King Nathan?"

As Zhou Fengliu spoke, he looked at King Nathan not far away and said:

"When I broke the golden branch, the divine tree encountered an accident and couldn't withstand my power. How can you blame me for that?"

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Alfonso was dumbfounded.

"Have you no shame? You were clearly doing that on purpose!"

"Oh?"

"So, you're deliberately trying to show me? Let's see if you can destroy the divine tree even if you use all your strength..."

Zhou Fengliu shrugged.

"you..."

Alfonso is a bit vulnerable.

He was speechless at Zhou Fengliu's words.

As Zhou Fengliu said, so many people had tried to destroy the sacred tree by various means before, but none of them succeeded... and Nathan Island did not pursue the matter.

Why insist on pursuing this matter just this once?

"Afonso..."

Just then, King Nathan wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and then spoke up, rebuking:

"No disrespect is permitted towards the new King Nathan..."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Alfonso turned to look at King Nathan: "Your Majesty...you..."

"Although the sacred tree is gone, the ceremony of succession to the throne continues... As long as I die, he will be the new King Nathan."

King Nathan said this.

At that moment, she had no time to grieve for the sacred tree, nor to investigate whose responsibility it was.

With a formidable enemy at hand, she must give Nathan Island a new king who can save everything.

The tree is gone, but the king remains...

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a small knife from somewhere, pointing the tip directly at her carotid artery, intending to cut it open with one stroke.

"king!"

Ilya and the others frowned and hurriedly tried to stop King Nathan, but it seemed to be too late; King Nathan's dagger was already less than two millimeters from their skin.

Just at this critical moment, an invisible gust of wind swept across the mountaintop.

The sharp knife was instantly flung away and landed on the ground.

...

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

"King Nathan, you have to live! If you die... then you can just renege on this debt?"

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 an 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 Wang 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.

Chapter 398 Li Muxuan: A descendant of Lu Jin? He's a persistent ghost! (First Update)

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.
