Chapter 339 Richard's Plan, A Knife Crossing the Ocean
Chapter 339 Richard's Plan, A Knife Crossing the Ocean
Lin Yuan had thought about this question before, but he hadn't thought about it in detail. Now that he had come to Alaska in person, he felt that it was quite unusual.
Perhaps there's some unknown secret hidden in Richard's rise to power, because it's unusual. And where there's the unusual, there's bound to be something sinister.
Yamamoto led everyone to a restaurant and prepared a welcome banquet.
However, to Lin Yuan and the others' utter dismay, their standard of living was simply too poor.
The fish was relatively fresh; the rest was mostly vegetable salads and various cheese breads, which were hardly palatable to people from China.
Of course, everyone wasn't there for the meal, but rather to use this so-called banquet as an opportunity to exchange information.
Lin Yuan barely touched the dishes on the table, only sipping his red wine.
Yamamoto understood, smiled, and cleared everyone else out. Standing behind Yamamoto were only two tall foreign men with blond hair and blue eyes, but golden light flashed in their eyes from time to time, so they should be two golden-eyed evolvers.
Yamamoto glanced at the women still on the table, as well as Zhang Hanqiu and Bald Wolf, who were munching on bread and caviar, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.
"Mr. Wang, don't tell me these people are all part of your core team?"
"so many people?"
Yamamoto frowned.
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Lin Yuan asked with amusement.
"So many women?" Yamamoto was taken aback.
"Is that not allowed?" Lin Yuan squinted and said, "Now we can get down to business."
Yamamoto looked helpless and sighed, "Whatever, whatever makes you happy."
As he spoke, Yamamoto stood up and walked around the table, saying, "It's actually very simple. If you want to continue expanding your influence, we will provide you with enough gene serums, and even weapons. All you need to do is transmit all the intelligence from the Dragon Kingdom back to us."
"That simple?" Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What? Is Mr. Richard a philanthropist?"
“Of course not,” Yamamoto said. “When you expand to a certain extent, Mr. Richard will also enter China, and that will be the time for in-depth cooperation with you.”
"I understand." Lin Yuan nodded and said, "So you mean you want to use me as a pawn?"
“Mr. Wang, do you know how amazing it is that a single gene serum can create an evolved human?” Yamamoto said. “How do you think its value can be measured? Especially in this day and age.”
Lin Yuan thought to himself, "To me, it's just something that can be measured by a string of points."
“Then I’m even more curious. We’re getting the gene serum from you,” Lin Yuan asked. “How can Mr. Richard be so sure that we’ll obey you after we get the gene serum?”
Yamamoto smiled and held up three fingers.
"Firstly, our gene therapy agents will be sent out in batches."
"Secondly! In addition to gene serums, we will plant some evolved individuals to assist Mr. Wang in managing Dongping City. Of course, you will still be the supreme commander."
"Thirdly! If Mr. Wang Quan has enough ambition, he will definitely continue to cooperate with Mr. Richard. To be honest, our gene technology has now advanced to a new level, and there will be more efficient ways to create evolved beings in the future."
After saying that, Yamamoto looked at Lin Yuan with a half-smile.
Lin Yuan remained silent for the time being, pondering the information contained in Yamamoto's three sentences, and soon realized some problems.
Sure enough.
Richard intends to indirectly control the monarchy by supplying drugs and evolved beings, and then use the monarchy as a weapon to remotely invade the Dragon Kingdom across the ocean.
Really...
What a grand scheme!
Lin Yuan even suspected that not only might the planted evolved individuals become a hidden danger, serving as the main force behind the undermining of Dongping, but even the gene serums themselves might have serious problems. This problem might stem from the fact that the other side wields life-or-death power or control. As for the specifics of how this was done, Lin Yuan didn't yet understand.
"how?"
Yamamoto pressed for an answer.
“That’s good.” Lin Yuan nodded. “Even in China, with Mr. Richard’s help, it wouldn’t be a problem for me to be the second-in-command. I’m not unambitious, but I’m not that ambitious. I’m content with having women to play with.”
Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief, because the behavior of this 'Kingdom' in front of him really matched his stereotypes!
"Shall we celebrate our successful collaboration in advance?" Yamamoto raised his glass.
Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "It's too early. How can I trust you to do this? I haven't seen any research base here, not even a single medicine."
"What do you mean?" Yamamoto laughed angrily. "Do you doubt Mr. Richard's strength? There are tens of thousands of evolved beings here. Where do you think they came from?"
“Let’s talk business. We can’t sign a contract before we’ve even seen the goods, can we?” Lin Yuan crossed his legs and stared straight at Yamamoto. “What do you think, Mr. Yamamoto?”
"You mean you want to visit our gene-producing production line?" Yamamoto asked.
"Of course." Lin Yuan nodded.
“This… I need to think about it, and I also need Mr. Richard’s permission.” Yamamoto frowned. “How about Mr. Lin stays for the night?”
“No problem.” Lin Yuan naturally agreed, and he could also gather more intelligence during the night.
Now that they're here, Jiang Qian has plenty of opportunities to make a difference, especially since his working-class team is incredibly resourceful. One night is more than enough.
“There are plenty of rooms on the second floor of the restaurant,” Yamamoto said. “But I need to make one thing clear: you cannot leave this building until I arrive tomorrow. Otherwise, forget about whether we can cooperate or not; even whether Mr. Wang can leave here might be a problem.”
"Ha! You're threatening me now? Is this how you do business?" Lin Yuan said expressionlessly.
"In short! There's an old saying in China, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do,' so Mr. Wang should do as the Romans do." Yamamoto smiled lightly and then walked out.
After everyone else had left, only Lin Yuan and his group remained in the restaurant.
Just as Zhang Hanqiu was about to speak, Lin Yuan shook his head, then pointed outside the house and chuckled, "There are more than two hundred evolved beings outside. Roughly estimated, the number is probably over five or six hundred, and this place is likely being monitored as well. Tsk, Mr. Richard is certainly cautious enough."
As he spoke, Lin Yuan raised his head.
There was a camera there, blatantly pointed at him.
Lin Yuan waved at the camera and smiled, "Mr. Richard, I hope we can talk in person tomorrow. I don't have much faith in what a blond guy from Japan says."
