This news, which caused a sensation worldwide, was not surprising to everyone at the Mujica Group.
There is indeed almost no precedent for private duels between companies like Mujica Group and Goblin Company, which have backers behind them, but they have already received behind-the-scenes guarantees from each other's bigwigs, so it is natural for them to know the result in advance.
"Then we will set the date for the duel for a week later according to the pre-arranged plan," Xiangzi continued.
"Can the corporate champion be selected in one week?" Hai Ling raised some doubts about Xiangzi's arrangement.
Since Mu stepped down as the corporate champion of Mujica, Xiangzi said that he could find a new successor.
But now, several days have passed since Mu left office, and Hailing still doesn't know who the candidate Xiangzi mentioned is.
Even Hai Ling didn't know whether such a person existed.
Although Hai Ling knew that Xiangzi was not the kind of person who would talk nonsense without any evidence, since she said that she had a candidate in mind for the championship, the other party must have considerable strength.
However, Xiangzi has not yet told his companions the detailed information of that person, which can only mean that there may be something wrong with this person.
Assuming the worst case scenario, if the candidate mentioned by Xiangzi is unable to take office, who will be the corporate champion to represent Mujica?
It couldn't be Mu, Xiangzi would never agree to let her go on stage.
It can't be Miao Meng. Even if it's unlimited fighting, it can't make up for the fact that Miao Meng is a piece of trash with a combat power of about five after removing his unconventional skills.
It’s time to go into battle, Hai Ling thought.
If Xiangzi ordered Hailing to participate in the duel, she would have no complaints.
It would be better to say that Hailing is already prepared and eager to try, just waiting for Xiangzi to place his trust in her.
But Xiangzi wants to pour a bucket of cold water on Hailing because she has a better choice.
"If the person I expected refuses to come, I will do it myself." Xiangzi looked into Hailing's eyes, which contained only determination and apology.
“…” Hai Ling wanted to argue, but Xiangzi’s decision could never be changed.
"We haven't officially issued a declaration of war to Goblin Company yet, have we?" Miao Meng, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly interrupted. "According to the conventions of private duels, we, as the initiators, are responsible for determining the specific time of the duel, while the format and rules of the duel must be chosen by the other party."
Xiangzi did not interrupt Miao Meng's speech, but just looked at her quietly.
Chu Hua, however, questioned, "Does this 'private duel' have different rules? Isn't it just a simple clash between corporate champions?"
Chu Hua's ignorance of this issue is normal. After all, most ordinary people don't know how private duels and joint meetings work, and relevant information will not appear on the Internet.
The public has only two perceptions of this thing: "losing" and "winning".
"The rules are easy to understand. You just have to choose between a fight to the death or a duel to the death," Miao Meng patiently explained to Chu Hua. "The competition formats can be roughly divided into several types based on convention. The most common is a one-on-one duel, where each team sends their own corporate champion to decide the outcome. There are also other formats like best-of-three, arena matches, and team free-for-alls."
As Miao Meng spoke, she shifted her gaze from Chu Hua to Xiang Zi. "Unlike the one-on-one duel, since each company can only designate one person as the corporate champion, other competition systems require the participation of both the company CEO and 'enthusiastic spectators.'"
In a best-of-three match, in addition to the match between corporate champions, the bosses of both teams will each pick one person from the other team to compete.
In the ring match, there are 6 to 10 people on each side, who come up one after another to see which side's people fall down first.
In a team melee, people from both companies enter the game at the same time. Whoever knocks down all the opponents first will win.
Combining these competition systems, Xiangzi has understood what Miao Meng meant: If the competition system chosen by the other party is not a one-on-one duel, how can you, a company boss who must play, participate as a corporate champion?
"Enthusiastic spectators?" Chu Hua's face was filled with confusion. Wasn't this duel supposed to be a secret negotiation between the companies? And it even had the word "private" in front of it. Where would the spectators come from?
"This kind of meeting approved by the Illuminati requires some witnesses. Both sides of the duel can bring in about a hundred people each." Miao Meng continued to explain.
"Where will the duel take place?" Chu Hua asked curiously.
"The Illuminati headquarters is that giant airship called the Smile." This time it was Xiangzi's turn to speak. "Then Hailing will be in charge of selecting the people who will go to our place."
Hai Ling nodded to show that she understood.
"There is also the plan to use this opportunity to assassinate Nobzok..." Xiangzi then opened the next topic.
Ding ding ding ding——
Before she could finish her words, Chuhua's cell phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the other people awkwardly, pointed to the door of the conference room and said, "It seems something urgent. I'm going out to answer a phone call."
After she left, the others looked at each other in silence for a long time.
"Doesn't she realize that her acting skills are terrible?" Mu spoke first, breaking the silence.
"It's indeed a bit clumsy..." Miao Meng also echoed in a low voice.
"She probably doesn't want to listen to us discussing how to kill someone. The psychological trauma caused by the past is not so easy to eliminate." Hai Ling lowered her head and looked at her hands, wondering if she was recalling the blood stains on them.
"Anyway, let's discuss business first."
……
Chu Hua sat in the corner of the corridor, hugged his knees with his hands, and buried his head between his thighs.
Should this be considered as an escape?
Of course, he would escape. Chu Hua could even imagine that everyone in the conference room must be very disappointed in him.
Although he had made up his mind to integrate into the team here, at this very critical moment, Chu Hua couldn't help but back down.
"There's nothing I can do about this..." Chu Hua muttered.
Although he knew in his heart that the boss of that certain company in the south was not a good person and had done many evil things, the dozens of lives lost in the crisis a few days ago could be blamed on him, and it could be said that he deserved to die.
But this cannot change the essence of the matter. When Chu Hua thought about attending a murder seminar, he felt a little uncomfortable in his chest.
To prevent further gaffes, she covered her ears.
It turns out that escape, although shameful, is useful.
The voice that Chu Hua had heard countless times in the past year once again came to his ears.
"murderer."
"You killed a life. Don't you feel guilty?"
"Citizens of Tokyo, this reptile should repent for its sins!"
The slander in the newspapers, the people's curses, and that loudmouth's condemnation day after day...
All these things made Chuhua sad.
But compared to the accusations from others, the guilt rooted in his heart is what makes Chuhua feel the most painful.
Chu Hua looked at his hands.
A pair of hands that can be used to play guitar or beat up bad guys.
In the eyes of others, she might be described as fine jade or tender and green.
But in Chu Hua's view, these were just a pair of very weak hands, unable to even protect everyone he saw.
Chu Hua's hands have never taken any life.
However, these hands were once stained with blood.
If I had been more careful on that rainy night, maybe...
Maybe Xiangzi would not have lost his mother.
Chuhua will never forget that day.
Heavy rain came down and thunder and lightning flashed in the sky.
"It's not your fault. With great power comes great responsibility."
In his arms, Mizuho Toyokawa died.
"Yes, it's all my fault."
That night, a masked man was put on the wanted list. A few days later, when the same mask appeared on the head of a masked vigilante who called herself Spider-Woman, Chu Hua became a murderer.
……
In the conference room.
"That's pretty much the plan." Xiangzi looked at everyone. "Anything else you want to add?"
"That's it. Although it's a bit cumbersome, it can indeed guarantee that the guy will die." Hai Ling commented on the plan they had just come up with from the perspective of a professional killer.
"There's just one more question." Miao Meng raised her hand and said, "Suppose Goblin Company chooses the deathmatch rule instead of the one-on-one format, can we just find a way to kill him on the stage?
"Although this plan, if executed correctly, can indeed ensure the death of Nobzok, it's so complicated that it could easily go awry..."
"Then let's wait until the competition system is determined." Xiangzi said, but did not deny the suggestion.
After all, if they could really kill him on the stage, it would save the Mujica Group a lot of effort.
"I'll draft a formal declaration of war and send it to the board later." Since most of the issues in the meeting have already been resolved, Miao Meng stopped talking nonsense and decided to write down Mujica's will in black and white immediately, so that Nobzoksan would be frightened for a few days.
It seemed as if he had calculated the time perfectly, as Chu Hua came in at this moment.
"Um...am I late?"
"It's not too late, not too late." Everyone said in unison.
Chu Hua breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his friends did not dislike him because of his little willfulness this time.
"Is there anything else to discuss next?" Chu Hua tried hard to pretend to be interested and tried to make the others ignore his abnormality.
"Emmmm..." Xiangzi held his chin and looked at Chuhua's serious expression, and couldn't help laughing.
She shook her shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "Let's discuss what to eat later. After all, it's already noon~"
(PS: I watched Thunderbolt today and I think it deserves a 7. The plot is okay, but there are too few fighting scenes, and the shots of the Sentinels are far from enough! PPS: The reward has been opened and will end on the th. The rules have been posted in the catalog ())
Volume 73: The Book of Fear: . Notice, also a preview
Leaving the magnificent giant gray wall behind, and crossing the uninhabited area dozens of kilometers wide, they entered the land under the jurisdiction of the Goblin Company.
Miao Meng did not choose to drive there, but instead boarded a single-person aircraft developed by Mujica.
This thing has undergone many personalized modifications by Miao Meng, and it can be considered her exclusive vehicle.
The reason for choosing to fly instead of driving is simple. The road conditions in many places in the south are too bad, and the wheels may get stuck in the mud before going far.
Although Tokyo and Osaka are not far apart, it still took Miao Meng a long time to land.
The reason is simple. I like to leisurely appreciate the scenery along the way around the world, so I set the aircraft's cruise mode to low-altitude and ultra-slow flight.
