Chapter 844 - 805: The Life-and-Death Competition
When the Chairman told Zhao Rong and the five others the ultimate answer,
all five of them were instantly dumbfounded with shock.
Moved, Zhao Rong said:
"The ancients say that ginger gets spicier with age, and it seems they were right,
Chairman, when you had us help you eliminate the Killer King Wang Jingang,
we only thought it was a simple task to kill Wang Jingang...
But, I didn’t expect it to be a competition,
a very fierce competition between your behind-the-scenes bosses,
a massive, life-or-death competition for the key to future wealth..."
Miss Lili looked at her father, thoughtfully saying:
"Dad, I originally thought you were just a very smart person,
but I didn’t expect you to be a successful businessman combining intelligence and wisdom with cunning..."
Beauty Yu Lan then inquired to the Chairman, saying:
"Chairman, since Brother Zhao Rong helped you find the key to the gate of the future,
how are you going to reward Brother Zhao Rong..."
Beauty Xuelian touched all over her pockets inside her clothes, not knowing where the key to the gate of the future was,
she said:
"Chairman, since you said we five helped you find the key to the gate of future wealth,
can you tell us where these keys are?"
The assistant, who was also standing by, was very curious about what the key to the gate of future wealth looked like, he said:
"Chairman, the key to the gate of future wealth should be a very magical golden key...
But, none of us are really carrying any so-called golden key, not even an iron key..."
The Chairman laughed and said:
"Actually, the golden key was already snatched early on by Zheng Xiaopeng’s subordinate Wang Jingang..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong was very surprised and asked the Chairman, saying:
"But when we killed Wang Jingang in the matrix game, we didn’t find any so-called key to the door of the future on him?"
The Chairman snapped his fingers at his secretary beside him, Cang Kaoru, asking him to explain to Zhao Rong in detail, saying:
"Cang Kaoru, why don’t you explain the ins and outs of the matter to Zhao Rong..."
Cang Kaoru, looking very charming, stepped forward to explain to Zhao Rong, saying:
"Brother Zhao Rong, it is like this,
when Wang Jingang obtained the key to the gate of future wealth,
he immediately swallowed this key into his stomach..."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rong, perplexed, asked:
"But when we killed the ancient magical beast that Wang Jingang turned into,
we also dissected the ancient magical beast and found no so-called key from its body..."
Cang Kaoru told Zhao Rong, saying:
"Didn’t you obtain the Demon Crystal from the ancient magical beast’s body?"
Zhao Rong nodded and said:
"No problem, we did obtain the Demon Crystal from the ancient magical beast’s body,
but we didn’t get any key..."
At this moment, the Chairman finished his red wine,
he sat on a chair, crossing his legs, and said to Zhao Rong:
"Actually, that Demon Crystal is the key to the gate of future wealth..."
Before the Chairman could finish his words, the assistant immediately stepped forward,
pointing at his stomach, he said:
"But Brother Zhao Rong already refined that ancient magical beast’s Demon Crystal into an Elixir and ate it into my stomach, what can we do about this? Your future key is gone?"
Miss Lili looked very frightened and said:
"Father, you’re not planning to dissect the assistant and extract the elements of the future key from his stomach, are you?"
The Chairman comforted Miss Lili, saying:
"Silly daughter, listen to me, even if the key to the gate of future wealth is refined into an elixir and ingested, it doesn’t matter...
Right now, all we need to do is put a gastroscope into the assistant’s stomach and extract some elements of that future key from his stomach, and we can immediately recreate an identical key to the gate of future wealth using the key duplication machine..."
As he spoke, the Chairman snapped his fingers at the assistants below, saying:
"Bring out those high-tech gadgets, the key duplication machine..."
Listening to the Chairman’s words, several henchmen immediately brought out a very large, very high-tech machine and said to the Chairman:
"Chairman, this is the key duplication machine you wanted..."
The Chairman snapped his fingers again several times and told his assistants, saying:
"Bring out the gastroscope as well..."
When the Chairman’s assistants brought the key duplication machine and the gastroscope next to the assistant,
the Chairman immediately smiled at the assistant, saying:
"Assistant, now all you need to do is lie on this bed,
we’ll then put the gastroscope into your stomach, extract some elements of the key to the gate of future wealth, and recreate an identical key to the gate of future wealth..."
Zhao Rong looked at the Chairman, curiously asking:
"Chairman, didn’t you just say that the five of us together helped you find that key to the gate of future wealth?
Now, you’re only extracting the needed element from one person’s body. Can you successfully duplicate the key to the gate of future wealth?"
As the Chairman directed his assistants to insert the gastroscope into the assistant’s stomach, he told Zhao Rong, saying:
"Of course not, our first step is to extract the first element needed for the future key from the assistant’s stomach...
Next, we will extract the other elements I need from the clothes of the remaining four of you...
Only after extracting these elements and combining them together into the key duplication machine can the key to the gate of future wealth be completely and entirely copied..."
With that said, the Chairman had his henchmen bring out several high-performance washing machines and said to Zhao Rong:
"Alright, Zhao Rong, now you, Miss Lili, Beauty Yu Lan, and Beauty Xuelian, take off the clothes you are wearing and put them into this washing machine..."
Zhao Rong carefully examined the washing machine in front of him,
he felt it looked more like a centrifuge,
he said:
"Chairman, aren’t you planning to wash our clothes, then quickly spin them in the washing machine drum and separate the elements we carry using centrifugal force?"
The Chairman gave Zhao Rong a thumbs up, saying:
"Zhao Rong, as a super bodyguard, you’re not only skilled in martial arts but also exceptionally wise,
you’re right, these machines I brought out are not washing machines, but centrifuges,
and the reason I told you they were washing machines was to prevent you from having unnecessary thoughts...
After all, centrifuges are machines capable of extracting nuclear materials..."
Hearing the Chairman’s words, Zhao Rong was very curious about why their clothes carried the elements the Chairman needed...
He asked the Chairman, saying:
"Chairman, can you tell me why our clothes carry the elements you need..."
The Chairman told Zhao Rong, saying:
"Zhao Rong, you may not know, but in this matrix game, every person you fought had, more or less, some of the elements I need...
And each bad guy you killed left their elements unknowingly lingering on your clothes...
That is why your clothes carry the elements I need..."
With that, the Chairman snapped his fingers at several of his henchmen to swiftly start the centrifuge and begin extracting the elements carried by Zhao Rong and the others.
