Zhang Kaiwei Stepping down from the throne, what came into view was the interior of a grand domed building, with smooth, reflective obsidian flooring underfoot and candlesticks flickering all around. It didn't look like a control room, but rather like a church.
He walked quickly towards the end, where the ancestral tablet was enshrined.
Bang, bang, bang.
"The descendants are unfilial," he kowtowed three times.
He stood up and turned to the first position on the top, revealing a palm-sized, old mirror device on the back rock wall.
Others do not know, this is a secret only the emperor understands, it is the ultimate thing...
First, bite the finger, cover the entire mirror. Take out the small bottle from the sleeve, count silently for three seconds before pouring it onto the mirror. With a rumbling sound, the entire control room began to stir.
However, amidst the sound of the engine, there was a discordant voice: "Huo huo huo huo huo huo..."
A sharp laughter rang out: "Oh my, hee hee hee, you are the contemporary driver?"
It was a clown-like figure projected from an unknown cube hanging from the dome.
Zhang Kaiwei had not yet responded when the "creature" took a step back and pretended to look shocked, but its acting was so exaggerated that it seemed funny: "Aren't you the kid from The Zhang Family?"
"…In response to the senior's words, I am not Zhang Kaiwei."
"Old man, even in death, you still protect that worthless dog!" Tang Dun roared, clutching the lifeless Zhang Jin.
"Sir, the 'Qiying' people have arrived," a guard entered and announced.
Tang Dun Slowly put downZhang Jin, the anger on his face disappeared, and he said in a deep voice, "Knock on the door before entering in the future."
"Yes, sir."
"I have faith in him here." Tang Dun dropped his blood-stained gloves, along with the gun.
Leaving the council chamber, he beckoned to a man, whose face was pale and beardless, walking as if his body had been hollowed out.
"Sir." It was none other than Tang Dun's top advisor, Cai Shuixian.
"Let's begin the implementation," Tang Dun ordered.
"Should our people...?" Cai Shuixian asked tentatively.
"Burying them with the old empire is their honor," Tang Dun said expressionlessly, delivering the death notice to these people.
The strategist nodded, "Understood."
"Where are those... called Strange Shadows now? Take me there."
For a moment, the two of them walked through the corridor and arrived at a side hall.
As soon as they entered, they saw a person named "Shadow" and a middle-aged man who was drab observing the murals.
On the wall is a painting of a young man, battling a storm on the sea while riding a raft.
On the opposite side of the painting, at the dining table, a short and ugly figure is feasting heartily.
Tang Dun flashed a hint of disdain in his eyes, but didn't linger long and went in.
"Making Leader Shadow wait impatiently, come on, let me take three drinks as punishment first." Tang Dun pretended to be generous, "This is national cellar liquor. How about it? I can't usually drink this."
"Shadow" did not respond, still looking at the painting on the wall. Beside him, the drab Ye Xingyun stepped forward and said, "It's all right, it's all right. Your important matters take precedence."
A hint of annoyance flashed in Tang Dun's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it and said, "Hey, before at The Zhang Family, we were too focused on discussing business. Now that I look closely, have we met somewhere before?"
Tang Dun pulled Ye Xingyun into a conversation.
Ye Xingyun also happily joined in: "I am not talented. I used to run a business under the court, named Taishi, but..."
"Ha? Hahaha, hey, Ye, you're getting your revenge, huh?" Tang Dun smirked.
The Tai Group is a state-owned enterprise, originally operated by the Ye family in the capital. However, its president, Ye Wenjie, has deep ties with foreign forces.
Later, it was discovered by the Shadow Guards that although "Sun King" only sought to eliminate the evil leader out of old affection, after transferring Ye Family Enterprises to the The Zhang Family, coupled with the former acquaintances turning a blind eye, the Ye family had no way to continue.
From then on, the Ye family declined.
It seems that at that time, Ye Xingyun was willing but unable to defeat "Sun King" and The Zhang Family. Tang Dun pondered in secret.
In the current apocalypse, although everything has been lost, the overthrow of The Zhang Family and the lofty "Sun King" is indeed a great relief.
But on the surface, Ye Xingyun cannot say this directly, only saying: "Hey, my Ye family's downfall is our own doing, not blaming others. On the contrary, we should thank The Zhang Family and His Majesty."
He paused, raised his glass and drank: "It's just that Sun King is unjust, and The Zhang Family is unkind. We have to overthrow the unjust and eliminate the unkind for the people and for the heavens, we have no choice." After speaking, he shed a few tears.
Tang Dun clapped and laughed heartily: "President Ye has such insight, he will achieve great things!"
While the two were boasting about their business, Huang Meishu put down the food in his mouth and impatiently said, "Lord Tang, we have done as you ordered. When will the Xie brothers be released?"
Tang Dun frowned, displeased at being interrupted. He thought to himself that aside from Ye Xingyun, these people were all uncouth villagers who lacked manners.
Currently, it's not the time to turn against these people. It's best to be diplomatic. The end of the world is coming too fast, and my super-powered team is executing missions all over the place, but we've lost contact. And we still haven't been able to reach the "Academy" yet, so it's best to proceed cautiously.
With a turn of his mind, Tang Dun smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. The Xie brothers just got into a little trouble and were detained by that foolish ruler for a few hundred days, which is truly outrageous. I'll release them now. However, Leader Shadow, as for our next phase of cooperation, what do you think?"
"Between words, there was no mention of the Xie brothers detained by their own research institute. Anyway, Sun King and this capital city are about to be destroyed, and no one will care about these details...
"As usual, you pay us what we want, and we'll do things for you," "Shadow" finally turned around to speak.
"Good! Leader Shadow, cheers to a successful collaboration!"
Tang Dun raised his glass, but Shadow ignored him and turned back to continue looking at the mural. This angered Tang Dun, who almost crushed the glass, but fortunately Ye Xingyun quickly clinked glasses to ease the awkwardness.
At this time, Ye Xingyun also frowned at the arrogance of the organization, which seemed so disorganized internally. It's afraid it won't last long...
Just as several people were harboring sinister intentions, a rumbling sound came from a distance.
"What is it?" Huang Meishu, with the most sensitive perception, swallowed what was in her mouth and stood up, looking in the direction of the Sun King's harem.
Ying turned around and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Wait... it should be... underground?!" Huang Meishu responded incredulously.
Ying furrowed his brow. This place would be one of their strongholds in the near future, and there was no room for error. He immediately instructed Huang Meishu, "You go and check it out with Ye Xingyun."
Tang Dun saw it and waved, beckoning the nearby guards over: "Go, send a few people to follow Mr. Huang... and clarify the situation, don't disrupt the arrangements."
"Got it."
Ye Xingyun nodded at He Ying, but felt uneasy looking at the guards behind him, who were like a sore thumb.
Unlike Ye Xingyun, Huang Meishu was straightforward. With a raised eyebrow, she immediately shouted, "If General Tang doesn't trust us, he should go check it out himself!"
Tang Dun and Ye Xingyun were both stunned. It's not allowed to investigate you thoroughly on someone else's turf. You should at least be under surveillance. These two or three guards from the organization are no different from ordinary people to anyone. They can be dealt with at any time. What do you mean by directly throwing down the gauntlet like this?
Tang Dun looked at "Ying," and "Ying" turned to look at the mural.
Tang Dun was furious, feeling that the organization did not take him seriously. Just as Tang Dun was about to call the executioner to come and kill someone, "Shadow" spoke up: "Don't make a scene, go and come back quickly."
Ye Xingyun was somewhat surprised by the tone of "Ying" in the leader's voice, as if he had detected a hint of indulgence??? But at the thought of Huang Meishu's appearance, Ye Xingyun suddenly felt a chill.
"…Tsk, let's go, let's go." Huang Meishu flashed out the door, and Ye Xingyun followed suit.
