"Arrived at the station. The phone booth beside you can wait for the next pickup. My mission is complete. Good luck." After arriving at a platform, the driver spoke calmly to himself while opening the car door. The sound of the door opening echoed in the somewhat empty street of the 'night.'
Yang Xiaoyou did not hesitate and stepped out directly. With his current Spirit Realm, unless he was targeted by the Dream Butterfly, there was really no danger that could threaten his life. He would definitely feel a sense of crisis if there were, but so far, nothing had surfaced.
With that in mind, he boldly walked into the phone booth beside the bus station without much concern.
Not long after he entered, the phone booth rang. Upon answering, he heard the familiar voice of the 'hacker' he had chatted with a few times before—the one who often attacked Yang Xiaoyou's two forums.
"Hey buddy, welcome to rd nrl prduins."
"This phone booth is your company? That's a bit shabby," Yang Xiaoyou rolled his eyes and mocked.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a vibration beneath his feet, and then the entire interior of the phone booth began to descend slowly, just like an elevator.
This made him shut his mouth obediently. Alright, even Hive Security Company's headquarters didn't have such 'high-tech' facilities; it was better to keep quiet.
It seemed that the hacker on the other end sensed Yang Xiaoyou's discomfort and laughed without any decorum. It was rare for him to see someone who usually suppressed him feeling a bit flustered, which lifted his spirits.
"Well, thirty-seven point four meters. With previous funding, this must have cost a fortune; I wonder how much of it came from our company." As the 'elevator' came to a stop with a click, Yang Xiaoyou estimated the distance to the surface.
Although this place was nearly forty meters underground, the ventilation system was quite good. It didn't feel stuffy at all.
When the elevator doors opened, a brown-haired White Man appeared in front of Yang Xiaoyou, looking somewhat laid-back with a cigar in his mouth.
"Hey, nice to meet you for the first time. Kaedno here. I've heard Blackie mention you so much that my ears are about to develop calluses."
Seeing the man in front of him, Yang Xiaoyou was not too surprised. This fellow was not an employee of P, but rather one of the core members of Hive Security Company, skilled in Sniping and capable of self-defense in close combat. The "Blackie" he mentioned naturally referred to Lucas.
Kaedno was not among the first batch of members to join Hive Security Company, but he had always been on Yang Xiaoyou's list, primarily waiting for his opportunity to transform before being absorbed into the team.
For this reason, although he had only joined Hive Security Company for half a year, his sense of belonging was among the strongest of the few.
With a good overall perspective and mindset as a Sniper, he was responsible for leading the security area at P. Almost one-third of Hive Security Company's core members were allocated to P, maintaining their headquarters while also protecting those researchers who were out negotiating or collaborating.
If there were no unexpected events, the number of core members remaining in Iceland should not be too many.
Having already been informed and mentally prepared, Yang Xiaoyou extended his hand to shake with the other person. "Yang Xiaoyou, just a technician at the company."
"Haha, old buddy. You're being too modest. If you're just an ordinary technician, then what am I? It's such a waste of talent for someone like you to stay at Blackwater Security Company. Why not come join us and help perfect this groundbreaking project?" Just as Yang Xiaoyou finished speaking, a hearty laugh came from the side.
A man who appeared to be The Polite Middle-Aged Man approached with two tall bodyguards accompanying him, openly trying to poach talent right in front of another member of Hive Security Company.
"Jefferson, your reach is getting a bit too long. A smart person is useful in any aspect; who says he hasn't made a mark at our company?" Kaedno retorted before Jefferson could finish his sentence.
However, both sides were still 'close' partners at this moment, so Kaedno could only express his dissatisfaction this way. He had been watching the recent bold moves made by P.
Due to the situation in the Middle East, Hive Security Company could not concentrate all its forces here, giving Jefferson ample reason and excuse. If they wanted to form their own Security Department, they could only let things unfold as they would.
Yet Kaedno was confident that even though they had substantial financial resources and some policy support, it was still too early for a hastily assembled team to shake Hive Security Company's control over P's security system.
However, if things continued like this, it would lead to uncertain outcomes. After all, there were too many forces eyeing this lucrative opportunity. If it weren't for Boss's foresight in securing half of the stocks early on and mastering the Security System while they were still inexperienced, it was hard to say what the current situation would look like.
"Ridiculous! What could possibly be more important than our current research? This is the advancement of all humanity! Not even the birth of mechs or the Anti-Lock System can compare!" The old man with one-sided glasses, who was following Beside, became unusually agitated upon hearing Kaedno's words, his entire demeanor turning fervent.
Dealing with such a research fanatic who had devoted his entire life to his studies and understood little of human affairs was not something Kaedno had any effective means to handle; he could only roll his eyes in frustration.
The somewhat fanatical old man then fixed his greedy, fiery gaze on Yang Xiaoyou, as if he were staring at some rare treasure.
That intense look made even Yang Xiaoyou feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Buddy, that training system from Hive Security Company was designed by you, right?" The old man forced himself to suppress the urge to grab Yang Xiaoyou, perhaps realizing that his old limbs lacked the strength for such an action. Wiping his drool, he revealed a 'kind' expression and spoke gently to Yang Xiaoyou.
Yang Xiaoyou felt somewhat speechless at this sudden change.
Although he didn't particularly like this old man, there was something admirable about someone who dedicated their entire life to research and could exhibit such uncharacteristic behavior for it.
When Yang Xiaoyou arrived, he hadn't expected things to become so direct; he hadn't even taken a sip of tea before being targeted by a thirsty old man.
This development was a bit too fast, lacking any foreplay.
"Hey, I'm already here. If I had no interest at all, I wouldn't have agreed to come. But you all have to give me some time to consider. I can't really get involved in your research aspects; at most, I can help improve some peripheral matters," Yang Xiaoyou sighed after being bombarded with questions.
"How can you not get involved? We absolutely need someone who has a comprehensive understanding of Human Body dynamics as our central figure; otherwise, our research will only be applicable to the military! If ordinary people become addicted to prolonged use, their bodies won't be able to handle it! Coming here will definitely get you the best treatment," the old man said urgently.
Moreover, due to their usual lack of experience in these aspects, they had revealed their cards early. For someone who might be interested, knowing they would receive such an offer was indeed a strong bait.
However, for Yang Xiaoyou...
Upon hearing the reason behind their eagerness, a strange glint flashed in his eyes. It seemed that the plan would be easier than he had imagined.
Understanding the Human Body, if I were to claim the second position, no one would dare to claim the first. This is my greatest leverage!
"Hey, although money is a good thing, do you really think I lack it? As long as I hold onto my shares, it’s enough to cover my expenses for ten lifetimes!" In another room of the underground laboratory, a portly man dressed in extravagant clothing wore a contented expression as he casually spoke to the middle-aged man across from him, who had a strikingly handsome demeanor.
"We are also very interested in your overall technology; however, we won't resort to underhanded tactics. What we need is merely a portion of your Brainwave Synchronization technology. If you agree to the board's decision, then regardless of the final outcome, what you gain will be far more than just money." The voice of the handsome man was discordant with his appearance, sounding like metal scraping against glass—extremely grating.
Looking at the fortunate fat pig before him, the handsome man felt a mix of disdain and helplessness. If it weren't for the delicate position they were in now, even an organization would find it difficult to act. The diplomatic skills of the opposing president were indeed quite seasoned.
Seizing this rare opportunity had allowed them to achieve a precarious balance. At this moment, any major force with roots that attempted to act against them would face the wrath of all cooperating parties; this balance was their best shield.
However, the Brainwave Synchronization technology was crucial for the organization's research and development—so important that even Thor's side had to slow down its encroachment. If they could truly succeed, it would grant them control over the entire world!
Yet even so, the current votes from board members still hadn't reached a majority, and many were clueless about who the mysterious Second Largest Shareholder was!
Otherwise, things could have been much simpler.
