"Also, convert some of the sect's assets into gold. At least thirty kilograms, the more the better. Not financial stocks, but real gold. And bring it to me."
"Oh, and the price of gold in the country is expected to rise sharply recently. Pass this news to those who are in charge of assets and see if we can make some money from it..."
After he finished speaking, the Venerable made no more sound, but just looked at me quietly, and it seemed that he had not even breathed. The burly man waited quietly for a long time, and after confirming that the Venerable had no new orders, he stepped back respectfully while bending over, and left the room quietly.
But after the man left, the venerable, who had been silent before, sighed again.
"Dogs... huh, dogs are also beasts with sharp teeth. If you're not careful, they can bite off a person's throat..."
......
......
A dog can be a loyal dog or a ferocious beast. It has sharp teeth that can tear apart enemies and prey, and it also has the ability to bite its owner's throat.
Not only the Venerable, the founder of the Hound Corps, has now completely lost his power. Even Sakura, who thinks that "his position as the director has been shaken", also deeply agrees with this.
The advanced research project that Sakura had placed great hopes on, and which he believed was the only way to optimize the hound, was completely halted.
Of course, the production of the hound is still proceeding in an orderly manner, but this project no longer belongs to Sakura.
In fact, this project no longer belongs to the remote underground laboratory, but has been separated. Several infected mother bodies have all been transported away and their whereabouts are unknown. The subsequent hound manufacturing is no longer carried out in the remote underground laboratory.
So in Sakura's opinion, she had completely lost her power.
There is no doubt that this makes Sakura extremely unwilling. Although from a rational point of view, Sakura's current status, treatment, and identity are far higher than those of herself when she was just a researcher, but...
People's ambitions will gradually grow with their circumstances.
Once you have seen the ocean, all other waters will be but tame. Those who have experienced the vastness of the ocean will not look down on stagnant water.
Therefore, Sakura inevitably had other thoughts.
179. My wife is so strong
But of course, despite having some other thoughts in her heart, Sakura's mind was still very clear. She did want to "betray", but not betray the cabinet - things like switching to "outsiders" and betraying one's origin and background were things that only fools would do.
When talking about Japanese politics, we have to mention its biggest feature, "factional politics" - even members of the same party will be divided into many small groups due to different interests. These small groups are closely integrated with each other, centered around a person with significant influence.
Therefore, the cabinet may seem like a daunting behemoth, but in fact, upon closer inspection, it is like frog eggs stuck together, which is both a whole and distinct individuals - and the one Sakura currently belongs to is actually the political group of a certain big shot.
It was just this group that Sakura wanted to "betray".
There is no doubt that these political groups are fighting with each other, so if Sakura loses power here, he can just switch to other groups; the current big shot is "short-sighted", Sakura can just find another big shot who can realize his own value; in short, no matter what, Sakura can completely change his allegiance, as long as he can demonstrate his own value and there are other big shots willing to fight for him.
Sakura believes that she is valuable and was able to single-handedly contribute to the birth of the Hound. Sakura has undoubtedly proved her worth - so what Sakura needs to do next is to contact other groups and send out signals that she is trying to "change sides."
Of course, the premise is that this "gate" is still part of the cabinet.
The meat can be tossed back and forth in the pot, as long as it remains rotten in the pot in the end, there won't be much of a stir. But if Sakura dares to join the police force with these achievements...
That would be a betrayal of one's own origin and background. Even though there are many small factions within the cabinet that are fighting each other, if someone dares to collude with outsiders, then these small factions will inevitably unite and face the outside world together.
By then, even the police force would not be able to protect Sakura.
only......
Sakura held the phone with bloodshot eyes, and even though she had made up her mind, she still hesitated for a moment - after all, in a country like Japan, "betrayal" is hardly tolerated. Even if she betrayed her past self and was highly regarded, she was destined to never become a senior executive again.
So after thinking it over again and again, Sakura finally decided to call her teacher.
Sakura's teacher is the chief drug research director of Higuchi Pharmaceutical and also one of the executives. He has quite a few connections among the top management. After realizing that she had "lost power", Sakura often asked her teacher for help.
However, at the beginning the teacher was still able to patiently comfort Sakura, but after a long time, even the teacher became a little impatient.
And this time...
"teacher......"
She gritted her teeth and dialed the number. The moment the call was connected, Sakura carefully greeted the teacher first. However, to her surprise, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was the teacher's impatient voice.
"How many times have I told you to use your job title when you're working?"
"..."
Sakura didn't pay attention to what the teacher said next - she put down the phone with a sense of relief in her loss, and let the voice on the other end of the phone continue to chatter. Sakura took a deep breath, then clenched her hands in her pockets tightly.
In Sakura's palm, a business card felt a little uncomfortable.
It was given to me by a lady during a recent contact. Perhaps because she was worried that researchers like Sakura were "not sharp enough", the lady was quite straightforward in expressing her intention to recruit me.
Of course, the person who gave Sakura the business card was definitely not the big shot himself, but Sakura had heard a little about that big shot.
Although to some extent, the other party is slightly weaker than the group Sakura currently belongs to, it is precisely because of their weakness that they will pay more attention to her - Sakura hung up the phone with a strong breath, and then took out the business card from her pocket.
On the business card, the two words "Uchida" stand out particularly.
......
......
Miss Uchida has recently been feeling that she is like the best friend of the heroine in the sad drama who was betrayed by her husband. Her only purpose in existence is to help the heroine track down her husband's betrayal, listen to her crying, and then watch them reconcile and show their love.
Especially as a lesbian, leaving the heroine with scars was once her own ambition - what's the difference between this and Huang Shimao drinking the heroine like a puff in front of her victim?
Minotaur, die!
Poor pure love warrior Miss Uchida was in a complicated mood not long ago, holding the photos of Su Su and other women behaving intimately, and went all the way to Hua Jianyuan's home in person to try to comfort Hua Jianyuan, but the result was...
"Damn it..."
Looking at the two people on the sofa opposite, whose eyes were full of love and they were about to hug each other and kiss each other in front of her, Miss Uchida took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully.
"Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Sono's good friend, Uchida Nanako. You can call me Nana, or Nanako, like Sono-chan, or you can call me Uchida. It doesn't matter."
After calming down her emotions, Ms. Uchida finally introduced herself to Su Su and extended her hand.
It's really sad to say that just a few days ago, Huajianyuan asked Miss Uchida for help to investigate her husband for the first time. Although she was surprised that Huajianyuan, who always showed her love to her, suddenly made this request, Miss Uchida chose to help her friend without hesitation.
Then, in just a few days, the private detective hired by Ms. Uchida took a large number of photos of Su Su behaving intimately with other women. There were even some photos in which he clearly told Huajianyuan to work overtime, but ended up driving away with other women.
Of course, due to Huajianyuan's request, the detective hired by Ms. Uchida only waited at the door of Susu Company and did not continue to follow them, so they did not know their final destination, but...
Just these photos seem to be able to explain the problem!
After realizing this, Ms. Uchida naturally did not dare to just hand the photos to her friend. Instead, she put aside all her work and went to her friend's house in person, intending to hand the photos over to her friend in person and comfort her.
Who knew that just halfway through, before Hua Jianyuan's emotions had been brewing, Su Su came back unexpectedly, and then faced with Hua Jianyuan's sad questioning, Su Su...
He actually confessed his identity as a person with super powers, and also said that he could improve the belt. He explained in each photo that these were all customers, and even seriously promised to take Hua Jianyuan to visit his super power laboratory soon!
The process is simple and clear to describe, but it was like a bolt of lightning to Ms. Uchida.
You have to know that unlike Hanayama who only has one grandmother, Miss Uchida has both parents. But even her parents were not told that Miss Uchida is a person with super powers.
It can even be said that, apart from knowing each other's extraordinary identity, Huajianyuan and Miss Uchida's families are unaware of each other's identity - "hiding the extraordinary" has become a tacit rule for the two of them.
Even judging from the current situation, before the Kita Ayase incident, before the extraordinary people appeared in the world in full, this was probably the default rule for all extraordinary people?
Even though Chaofan has appeared in the world, Su Su just told his identity to a wife who has not yet been legally recognized? !
What shocked Miss Uchida even more was that Hanayama, the foolish woman who had been turned into a pure fool by love, revealed her identity - and Miss Uchida's identity - in a moment of impulse!
Damn it, I really did good deeds in this life to have a good friend like you, but for a man you even sold me out!
Miss Uchida glared at Huajianyuan, who seemed to be still intoxicated by the sweetness of love, with gritted teeth, took a deep breath, and the hand she stretched out to Su Su just stopped in mid-air.
Then, Su Su also nodded seriously, and then stretched out his hand and shook it gently.
"Su Su, the First Knight, I'm glad to meet you, Miss Uchida. It was my concealment that caused Yuan's panic. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. But Miss Uchida, please help me conceal my identity. The identity I've revealed now is just an ordinary person related to the First Knight, not an extraordinary person, so..."
Silently suppressing his inner emotions, Su Su secretly glanced at the number above Miss Uchida's head and smiled gently with a hint of apology.
[Uchida Nanako LV15 Merchant]
A transcendent! A level 15 transcendent at that!
There is no doubt that the moment Su Su pushed the door open and saw Miss Uchida, his heart was already in turmoil.
Although he had long been certain that Hua Jianyuan was definitely a transcendent, Su Su couldn't help but be shocked when he got home from work and saw that Hua Jianyuan had brought home the highest level transcendent he had ever seen.
You have to know that Su Su is only level 11 at the moment!
Later in the subsequent conversation, Su Su also confirmed that Huajianyuan was definitely stronger than Miss Uchida, so this also meant that Huajianyuan's level was definitely above level 15!
Although he had repeatedly overestimated Hua Jianyuan's strength, it was obvious that he had underestimated his wife...
Fortunately, since Hua Jianyuan has confessed to him, after sending Miss Uchida away, Su Su can directly ask Hua Jianyuan about her specific strength. As for Su Su himself...
All I can say is that a complete confession is impossible, and Su Su will never reveal his identity as a "rapist" no matter what!
Su Su can give his wife a certain degree of trust, but it is by no means unlimited trust, especially when there is an outsider, Ms. Uchida, present at the scene, so Su Su temporarily puts on the vest of "first generation knight" for himself.
As for what happens next...
He could tell Huajianyuan some more "secrets" as appropriate, but Su Su would never tell anyone the core secrets like creating knights!
180. I’m Definitely the King of Freeloaders
Obviously, Su Su didn't know that Miss Uchida had already known some of his "information" through her connections - so after confirming that Su Su was not just related to the first-generation knight, but was actually a first-generation knight, Miss Uchida couldn't help but think, "The information I have is more comprehensive than that of the cabinet."
Although I don't know what this information is for now, and Ms. Uchida doesn't intend to do anything that would hurt her friends, but...
This kind of information is itself a huge asset.
As a successful businessman, Ms. Uchida is particularly keen on capital...
......
After getting some freshly made-up stories from Su Su, Miss Uchida said goodbye and left Su Su's house contentedly. After Miss Uchida left, Huajianyuan immediately became timid, as if she had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry, husband. I shouldn't have distrusted you and asked someone to investigate you..."
Hua Jianyuan lowered his head hard, as if he wanted to bury his face in his own greatness. His voice became lost and low. However, looking at Hua Jianyuan like this, Su Su just touched Hua Jianyuan's head lovingly, then reached out and lifted Hua Jianyuan's chin from the valley between the two majestic peaks.
"Okay, how could I blame you? It's because I have some concerns that I haven't told you my identity... Come to think of it, don't you think we are a bit like Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the movie? We are both extraordinary people, but we dare not tell each other..."
Comforting Hua Jianyuan softly, Su Su sighed silently in his heart. Then he reached out and hugged Hua Jianyuan in his arms. Then he rested his chin on the top of Hua Jianyuan's head and sniffed the fragrance between her hair. In fact, Su Su still felt a little guilty in his heart.
After all, what I'm saying now is actually a lie...
But to be honest, Su Su really couldn't do it. After all, what he did was not suitable to tell anyone, so...
"No, it's normal for couples to have little secrets with each other. I just hope we can be as honest as possible..."
Unlike Su Su's guilty conscience, Hua Jianyuan, who was leaning in Su Su's arms, was obviously much more relaxed after hearing Su Su's comfort. Before, with Uchida around, Hua Jianyuan was worried that Su Su would pretend not to care because there were outsiders around. Now that she was sure that Su Su was not angry, Hua Jianyuan was relieved.
"But speaking of which, husband, when did the first generation of knights come about? Why did I try to find extraordinary people in Japan before, but couldn't find any? You guys are so good at hiding..."
After lying in Su Su's arms and arching a few times, and choosing the most comfortable position, Hua Jianyuan, who had relaxed, couldn't help but become curious about Su Su's experience. After all, Hua Jianyuan had traveled all over the country looking for other extraordinary people, and as a result, in addition to the demon, he only found the [Merchant] and the [Blacksmith].
Now, the [Blacksmith] has passed away due to his old age, causing Hanayama to once believe that there were only two extraordinary people in the whole of Japan.
So after briefly describing his own experience, Huajianyuan asked Su Su.
However, Su Su obviously found it difficult to answer Hua Jianyuan's question - the background in this regard has not been compiled yet...
No, it should be said that it had already been made up, but after Hua Jianyuan confessed his identity, Su Su suddenly found that there were some conflicts in the background he had made up.
Because according to Hua Jianyuan, she had traveled all over the country to exorcise demons and search for her kind, and Su Su originally found some folk tales, such as some kind of disappearance phenomenon or some urban legends, and planned to make them into evidence of the existence of the first generation of knights.
Of course, Su Su was only responsible for releasing these "evidences" and not admitting them, and he focused on making them seem true. By then, even if some of them were done by other orthodox supernatural beings unknown to Su Su, as long as Su Su had never admitted that they were related to the "First Generation Knights", no one would be able to question anything. Anyway, everything was just your own imagination.
But this trick obviously doesn't work for Huajianyuan...
so......
The hand that was around Hua Jianyuan gently stroked her smooth back twice. Su Su took a deep breath, and then his mind worked quickly. He quickly decided to change the subject and not answer Hua Jianyuan's question for the time being.
Unless necessary, Su Su didn't want to tell too many lies to his wife who he lived with day and night. One lie needed more lies to maintain it, and in the end it would inevitably be exposed, so the best way was to be ambiguous and avoid answering!
"Can't find the first generation knight? Hehe, think about your husband's identity. I'm a foreigner... But speaking of it, when you were young, did you travel all over the country to find extraordinary people?"
"Well, what do you mean when I was young, am I old?"
"Over thirty."
"..."
She raised her head from Su Su's arms and gave Su Su a cold look. As expected, Huajianyuan's attention was successfully diverted.
