Overturned Tower

After Russell made an appointment to meet Director Tokifat, the danger on Miss Bingshui's side was relieved.

After confirming that Miss Bingshui would not continue to investigate this case and using the position of deputy director to "buy out" Ultramarine Qing, Shen Zhi Heavy Industry obviously did not want to make this matter any bigger.

They bought two sets of the most advanced technologies from Happy Island, bought one and got one free, and these two sets happened to be in urgent need of them.

It is best for Shenzhi Heavy Industry to stop when it is good and end it here.

And since Shenzhen Heavy Industry has made up its mind not to take action again, Tovatus can no longer fish in troubled waters and cause trouble inside.

After all, the discordant had no hostility toward Miss Bingshui herself. He just wanted to make the emperor and Tokifat fight... It would be better if Tianen Group and Shenzhi Heavy Industry could fight.

All this was done to confuse the situation and bring the battle between him and the godfather into a heated state.

Although Tovatus believes that the godfather has been able to replace the inferior and become his more powerful enemy, an enemy that he must return to the position of director to deal with... But what has to be said is that he does not have the face to take this moment. The godfather directly regarded him as a powerful enemy and began to attack without hesitation.

Although the fate of the "discordant" is just "a lifetime of discord with others", it has never required that it must be a fair duel... But Tovatus's self-esteem made him disdain the "Towatus" like the previous generation. Like the "Watus", they choose a little person that they can defeat 100% and focus on him throughout their life to fulfill their destiny.

If two behemoths of the same level as the head office collided head-on - it would be a war involving one-third of the world.

Even if the struggle subsides soon, it will definitely bring huge suffering to the middle and lower classes on both sides. The fate of many people will be changed as a result, and they will be forced to flow into the lower city... The plan that the Godfather originally needed time to brew can be completed in a very short period of time and reach the final perfection in one step.

Under the huge disaster caused between the two head offices and in this man-made disaster, the power of the Godfather will expand rapidly... His tentacles can easily spread to other sky islands and cyber churches.

In this way, the godfather can indeed grow into a big man who can compete with him as the "branch chairman".

At that time, Tovatus can attack himself with all his strength - he finally has a new "toy".

Yes, this is just a toy after all.

Russell had already sensed the nature of Tovatus, and after learning the secret of Tovatus before he became an elf, he became even more aware of the contradictions of this man.

Tovatus' pride requires him to fight fairly with the enemy he chooses, and he does not hesitate to weaken himself to become fair; but in the "game", he does not hesitate to use all despicable means in order to defeat the opponent...

He was able to talk calmly and patiently to civilians and even uncoded people, without any arrogant emotions or words, and even obeyed the command of the godfather; on the other hand, he did treat everyone except himself as a toy. Sacrifice at will or even directly trigger a war without any psychological burden...

He hates elves and his own people, but he also has a sense of identity as an elf; he clearly has a bitter hatred for Kamalse, but he can live with him calmly until now, and when he has the opportunity to take action No mercy at all...

He knew that his birth was an accident, so he had a strong desire to survive, unlike other named elves who looked down upon life and death; but on the other hand, in order to complete his game and drive the inferiors into despair, he would even Sacrifice yourself as bait and sacrifice.

On the one hand, Tovatus is like a fun-loving person who values ​​the fun of the process and ignores the results and morality; but on the other hand, he is like a painful and dull prophet, burdened with some secrets that cannot be revealed to others. There seems to be some clear goal in every absurd move.

Russell still can't quite understand the logic of Tovatus' behavior.

If they could meet again a few times, they would be able to imprint the other person's personality... But Tovatus seemed to be aware of Russell's ability. Since defeating Kamalse, Russell had never met the other person again. And this in itself is also an anomaly of Tovatus - would normal people believe that Russell has such an ability? Not to mention that Russell didn't say anything at all. Tovatus seemed to just detect some kind of terror and mystery from Russell's appearance.

——And here, on the one hand, he hopes to strengthen the godfather to make the game fair, but on the other hand, he is unwilling to appear in front of the godfather to strengthen the godfather. This is also a contradiction.

The reason why Russell is very afraid of Tovatus is because he has not figured him out yet - because this means that Russell cannot predict the opponent's plan by imitating his thinking mode.

It was as if he had become accustomed to walking on the illuminated map, but suddenly discovered a fog of war that could not be dispelled... Feeling uneasy and vigilant, Russell's steps subconsciously stopped.

So the two of them faced each other in silence in the fog.

Compared with Sanos Heavy Industry, Tovatus is the more dangerous enemy.

After dealing with the threat posed by Tovatus, Russell notified Miss Icewater immediately.

Bing Shui completely trusted Russell and never considered the possibility of "what if Russell was just comforting himself". After Russell said that she had solved everything, she came to visit Russell the next day and thanked him respectfully and seriously.

Although Russell didn't care much about that kind of thing...but it felt good to feel that he had indeed helped others and was sincerely thanked by others for it.

And after that, another two days passed.

August 7th was another Saturday of playing games in the office and earning three times the overtime pay.

In the Office of the Special Enforcement Department, where only Russell and Delphinium were left, an unexpected visitor appeared.

That was a strong man with a height of at least 1.9 meters. He has a tall and strong build, and the muscles in his shoulders can even fill and bulge his suit. Although his hair and beard are a little gray, the temples on both sides are a very gorgeous golden color.

Just by seeing the sideburns that are very similar to Miss Bingshui, even people who meet him for the first time can recognize that there is a father-daughter relationship between them... not to mention that this is not the first time Russell has met the hero." Emperor".

"...Mr. Emperor, why are you here?"

Russell was curious and served the emperor a cup of tea.

That's the tea that Delphinium likes to drink. Russell only drinks Coke on weekdays. The refrigerator in the office of the executive department was also filled with Cokes sent by Russell from the Coke Company.

He said something mysteriously: "Do you drink Coke? There is also Coke here."

When Russell endorsed the Coke Company, he received too many various drinks in exchange for payment. Before he finished last month's share, this month's share was delivered to him... So Russell had to ask them to send it to the company. To this end, he also bought a large ice-cold drink machine from the Coke Company. refrigerator.

Although Delphinium felt that Russell was spending money indiscriminately... Russell also argued with reason.

"This refrigerator can freeze more than a dozen drinks at different temperatures at the same time. Each drink can be chilled to the right temperature!"

So in the end Delphinium compromised. After warning Russell that drinking less Coke would be bad for his health, he still reimbursed Russell for the purchase cost of the refrigerator.

Then Russell sadly discovered that Delphinium only allowed him to drink three bottles of Coke a day, so the Coke stored in Russell's refrigerator inevitably began to overflow.

——It is obvious that technology has developed to an era where you will not die if you don’t drink water. This health strategy is too conservative!

But seeing that Delphinium seemed a little angry, Russell lowered his ears and tentatively agreed.

I really can't go home and drink... Anyway, I could only drink milk in the office before, so being able to drink iced Coke is obviously a profit.

Russell enthusiastically told the emperor about his favorite Coke: "Recently, there is also a cola with cocoa and hazelnut flavor. For people like me who tend to get drunk easily when drinking cocoa, having a cocoa-flavored drink is like a beer that won't get you drunk. ! I also particularly recommend the iced mint, green apple, and aloe vera flavored cola. This is particularly refreshing after being iced, and is very suitable for drinking in summer..."

"--Hello!"

Seeing that Russell was really planning to give the old man an iced Coke, Delphinium was immediately startled and called out behind Russell.

"It's okay, Minister Delphinium...Mr. Ultramarine, I will drink whatever you drink."

This majestic man, who looked to be in his early fifties but was actually over sixty, with graying hair and beard, just sat on the sofa and nodded solemnly: "You don't have to take care of me."

So Russell happily took a bottle of black Coke from the refrigerator. After thinking about it, he took out another bottle of green Coke, poured the black one for himself and the green one for the emperor.

If the emperor didn't finish the drink, in order to avoid waste, these two bottles would be his own after he left - Russell thought to himself.

"Please fill it up, Mr. Ultramarine."

The emperor said slowly.

So Russell poured another half, pouring both cups of Coke until they were about to overflow.

The emperor raised the steaming and hissing glass seriously, as if he were holding a glass of strong liquor.

"I propose a toast to you." This veteran hero, who gave birth to his beloved daughter in his forties, earnestly expressed his sincere thanks to Russell, who was more than half his age. "This is the second time you have saved ice water. .”

"Miss Bingshui has already thanked me..."

Although he roughly guessed what the emperor was doing here, Russell was still a little troubled.

He is also from his uncle's generation, but he is still more adapted to Bad Ri's bad chatting style.

The emperor was so serious and solemn that Russell was embarrassed to sit still. He could only raise the iced Coke in his hand and reciprocate his kindness seriously: "For me, this is a small effort."

"No, this matter is very dangerous... I know it. You risked your life to help Ice Water. I couldn't contact you before. Now I can only shamelessly thank you after the matter is over. I am really grateful. All."

When the emperor said this, he lightly touched the Coke glass in Russell's hand... and drank the ice Coke in one gulp.

He frowned slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Is this Coke? It tastes okay, a bit like a less alcoholic mint julep. I think of the champagne I drank when I was young, and one of them tasted almost like this."

"...Have you never drank Coke?" Russell was shocked.

Is there anyone who hasn’t drank Coke?

"I will not drink any drinks unless necessary. Since I was six years old, my daily intake of sugar and fat has been strictly controlled and linked to the amount of exercise that day. The same goes for ice water."

The emperor said seriously: "This will be better for the body and can maintain the body and internal health of the youth. I am already this old and can still charge with two machine guns - this is what I exercise every day. The result. Only a healthier body can work longer... Fame is all fake, only your body is yours."

...Charging with two machine guns?

Is this metaphor a little too specific?

Before Russell could complain, the emperor's expression became more serious.

He put the Coke cup back on the table in exactly the same position as where he picked it up, even the rings left by the water droplets on the table were perfectly nested.

The emperor asked seriously: "Mr. Ultramarine, have you ever heard of the 'Godfather'?

"I received a tip from my side... He may be harmful to you."
