Over the years, he has sent back some intelligence bit by bit.
Everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan. The only thing that went beyond the plan was that the researchers, mainly of the Xia ethnicity, recruited by his startup were too outstanding. They turned this fledgling company into an industry leader and a hot commodity in the eyes of venture capital firms, with its market value soaring a hundredfold in just a few years!
As the company grew, he became increasingly cautious, but his identity was still exposed.
However, his biggest question at this moment was not why his identity was exposed, but... what exactly is a dragon?
Why would it allow these guys who can influence the power of the United States to extend an olive branch to it?
What does the younger brother know?
"Mr. Clark, could you tell me more about the dragon?" Liu Conglin asked.
Clark turned on the projector screen, displaying the evidence they had obtained.
Lei Yao, more agile than Tarzan in the jungle; the terrifying tsunami storm that capsized the aircraft carrier; the fleeting white shadow; the out-of-control Watanabe Ichijo; the Inoue Kikuki who exploded and died; various intelligence reports from Yamazuma Mountain... and the repeated shouts of "Dragon" in the noisy phone calls.
Liu Conglin pieced together this information and came to a conclusion that he found absurd.
There really is a divine dragon in the Great Xia Dynasty!
He took a deep breath and said, "If this is true, I will pass it on for you."
“It is true, of course,” Clark said. “In fact, there have been clues about the existence of something like a dragon in Great Xia before, but we have always been used to attributing it to unknown science.”
"You are welcome to come and take a look with me."
He pressed a button next to the sofa, and the wall next to him suddenly split open to both sides.
Liu Conglin looked at the exhibition hall behind the wall in surprise.
The exhibition hall was not large, with only a few display cases.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but even though he couldn't see the items in the display case clearly, he felt as if the temperature around him had dropped several degrees.
He followed Clark's steps toward the first display case.
There was a half-meter-long bone lying there.
The bones were as clear as jade, and a fierce aura emanated from them, making people inexplicably terrified.
The second display case contained four stone figures, each about the size of a fist. When he stared at them, it was as if the little figures were grinning at him.
Just one glance was enough to send Liu Conglin into a cold sweat, and he hurriedly turned his head away.
The third display case contains a bronze mask, as if someone is looking at him through the mask from the other side.
He looked at each of them and found that each of these collections exuded an unusual aura.
When he saw the jade artifact in the very center, which resembled a ruler, and especially the strange characters within it, he felt as if his soul was being sucked in.
Liu Conglin struggled to look away and retreated, his forehead covered in sweat.
Clark smiled as he watched his performance and said, "That jade artifact and mask originated from Bactria, the stone figure is a product of the Mayan civilization, and the origins of the others are no longer clear, but they all seem to be related to Bactria."
"Including that stone figure, I had someone check the records. The Great Xia Dynasty had also unearthed similar ancient artifacts, but none of them were as bizarre."
“So,” he looked at Liu Conglin and asked, “Dr. Liu, could you introduce me to someone?”
Liu Conglin suppressed the shock in his heart and said sincerely, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely say it."
“No, no,” Alexander interjected, “Dr. Liu has misunderstood. What we want is not just to pass on a message, but to actually meet it.”
Liu Conglin hesitated before saying, "Shouldn't you just contact the Great Xia government directly for this kind of thing? If you send a delegation to visit, Great Xia would be very welcoming..."
Before he could finish speaking, Clark shook his head and said, "We mentioned it, but your big boss refused."
“His exact words were, ‘If the Great Xia Dynasty truly has a divine dragon, seeing it might not be a good thing for you,’” Clark said mockingly. “He simply wants to monopolize it!”
“Perhaps he meant well,” Liu Conglin tried to persuade him.
Clark sneered: "What Great Xia can give, we can give too; what Great Xia cannot give, we can also give!"
Liu Conglin frowned: "If there really is a dragon, does Mr. Clark know what it needs?"
"All intelligent beings are the same; all they seek is fame and fortune!" Clark's tone was slightly impassioned. "We can give it countless amounts of gold, and make it the greatest being ever!"
“It can be the only messiah!” Clark raised his head, his eyes gleaming with fervor and madness.
Liu Conglin was slightly moved and looked at the others.
The expressions on their faces remained unchanged, clearly indicating that they agreed with Clark's statement.
This made Liu Conglin feel that things were in a difficult situation.
If the Great Xia had a divine dragon, he would naturally hope that it was unique to the Great Xia!
However, Clark's offer was indeed very tempting.
Messiah is the title of savior in several monotheistic religions.
In fact, these monotheistic religions all originated from Judaism, and their total number of followers exceeds four billion!
He believed Clark was capable of doing these things.
If someone is worshipped by half the world's population, even the gods would find it hard to refuse.
“I will do my best,” he said, stalling for time as he faced the menacing stares of the group. “Let me confirm this information first, and it’s not an easy task.”
Clark smiled and said, "Of course, I believe Dr. Liu will become one of us."
Faced with his attempts to win him over, Liu Conglin naturally had no reason to refuse.
Even if one's identity is exposed, being able to join them and obtain firsthand information is always a good thing.
“It’s my honor!” he said.
Clark checked the time and said, "It's almost time; the food should be served soon."
Liu Conglin forced a smile.
Of the five people present, he was the youngest.
The man second only to him, Rose, already has gray hair.
The thought of throwing a party with these guys, all naked, made him feel uneasy.
But now he feels he has no way out.
The madness in Clark's expression when he said those words was undoubtedly a signal.
If I refuse their offer, I probably won't even have the chance to leave here alive.
Ivy returned quickly after being notified.
Liu Conglin glanced at her and Clark with surprise, and some inappropriate images flashed through his mind.
When he saw the group of people following Ivy, his expression became puzzled.
The expected girl did not appear; instead, several male waiters pushing food carts were present.
It really is time to eat!
Are they going to have a party while eating?
Looking at the golden lid on the food cart, he could already smell the tempting aroma of meat.
Soon, the food cart was pushed to the center of the group.
Clark reached out to Liu Conglin and said, "This is Dr. Liu's welcome meal for his arrival on Girl Island. You should open it yourself."
Liu Conglin didn't stand on ceremony, thanked him, and then grabbed the lid from the food cart.
"This lid is bigger than a pot lid, what a hassle!" he thought to himself.
He felt a bit strained, but thankfully Ivy kindly helped him lift the other side.
The lid was slowly lifted, and a rich aroma of meat wafted out.
Liu Conglin's hands trembled, and the color drained from his face instantly.
Bang!
The lid fell heavily to the ground, revealing the food on the food cart.
……
Chapter 116 You want to be my followers?
Liu Conglin stared at the "food" in his field of vision, his Adam's apple bobbing, almost making a sound.
There was clearly a person on the food cart in front of him.
A woman who's been roasted alive!
From the abdomen to the limbs, everything was roasted until it was charred.
The only intact part was the severed head, with its hair spread out smoothly and its eyes closed, as if it were simply asleep.
Liu Conglin recognized her at a glance as the girl who had smiled at him earlier.
A strong feeling of nausea washed over him, and he turned around, leaning against the sofa, and began to vomit.
He never expected that the food these people were talking about was actually food in the literal sense!
That vibrant and lively young girl was roasted alive by them!
His stomach churned, and a deep-seated resentment lingered in his chest.
Clark and the others exchanged knowing smiles as they looked at him.
They'd seen similar things more than once, but what did it matter?
If you want to integrate into their circle, you have to do something to prove your sincerity.
Cannibalism is a good way to pledge allegiance.
This is also the first step in "liberating one's true nature"!
Of course, Clark prefers to call it a "compliance test".
Those fools seem to think this is a shameful thing, but they are simply blinded by worldly ideas.
On the contrary, this is clear evidence that they are at the top of the food chain!
Seeing that Liu Conglin had recovered, he gestured to his daughter, Ivy, who immediately arranged for someone to clean up the vomit and personally handed him mouthwash.
Liu Conglin took the mouthwash blankly, still unable to calm down completely.
He had spent many years in the United States and had been in contact with high-level circles, so he was familiar with their extravagance, debauchery, and absurdity, but this was the first time he had ever seen cannibalism.
In the past, when he heard rumors that someone had a penchant for cannibalism, the upper-class people he knew would scoff at him and call him a devil. But he never expected that these guys who stood at the pinnacle of power would actually have such a devilish hobby!
"Is Dr. Liu ready?" Clark asked with a smile.
Looking at his loose, age-spotted face, Liu Conglin felt more and more that beneath that human skin was a demon with ram's horns.
He refused, saying, "Sorry, I can't do that!"
He was filled with disgust and wished he could leave this Devil's Island as soon as possible!
Clark smiled and nodded to Ivy, who was standing to the side.
Ivy bent down, took a tray from under the food cart, picked it up with both hands, and handed it to Liu Conglin.
The plate is divided into two sections, left and right.
On the left is a pair of silver cutlery, and on the right is a revolver.
Clark smiled and said, "Once you pick up your knife and fork, you'll be our closest friend."
"If you refuse, then you can choose this pistol."
"It has six chambers, but only five bullets."
"You can take a gamble; after one shot, you can leave!"
"If Lady Luck is on your side."
Liu Conglin wanted to ask if there was a third option, but when he saw the extra red dots on his chest, he suddenly realized that he had no other choice.
This is a naked threat!
He looked at the revolver, wanting to snatch it and shoot the old white man without hesitation, but he knew that before he could turn the gun around, he would be the first to die.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Don't you want to see the dragon anymore?"
