The group's villa was a panoramic mansion built on the top floor of a skyscraper.
This place was situated among the clouds, stretching nearly a thousand buildings, resembling the Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace.
Here, one could gaze up at the profound starry sky or look down at the neon night view of the city, enjoying the wonderful life technology had brought.
After arriving safely, Long Ji visibly relaxed a great deal.
With countless ard forces and high-tech weapons around, this person had actually co obediently—his fate, whether to be flattened or rounded, was entirely up to her!
Lu Yao remained at ease, even taking advantage of the fresh air here to infuse so spirit into Fran, earning a polite "thank you."
Seeing his nonchalant deanor, Zhuge Fu, who had long held a high position, could no longer tolerate it and imdiately jumped out, shouting:
"Kid, now you can speak, what exactly happened to my family's old ancestor?"
Long Ji's expression also turned much colder:
"Mr. Lu might as well make things clear, my family's old ancestor is the group's research and developnt director, with heavy responsibilities!"
Lu Yao had no interest in lying to ants, so he spoke the truth:
"Your old ancestor died by my hand, only because he struck a deal with before his death, I ca here."
As soon as these words ca out, everyone was first taken aback, then beca incredibly agitated, shouting furiously:
"It was you who killed the old ancestor! And you dare to co here!"
"You bastard! Beast! You caused the downfall of the School of Life, today you must die!"
...
A group of people shouted and cried, intent on killing Lu Yao!
As for Lu Yao's strength, they did not take it seriously.
The old ancestor was a research director, a technical talent busy in the laboratory, his combat power was average at best.
And ti had moved on, over the past 2000 years, they didn't dare to claim anything else, but the skill of killing had indeed made significant progress!
Everyone's bodies soon revealed "Bio-organic Armor" covering their entire bodies, looking like humanoid insects.
Particle cannons ford from biological tissues protruded from their chests and shoulders, pulsing with blue light.
Just as the fight was about to start, Long Ji said coldly:
"What deal did you strike with the old ancestor? Letting him hand over all his authority to you?"
Zhuge Fu shouted furiously: "President, don't waste words with him, kill this man and extract the mory from his brain!"
His "Bio-organic Armor" was wedge-shaped, with crystallized key parts, greatly increasing defense.
His arms grew two huge sickles, currently vibrating at high frequency, the blade blurring.
Add to that the countless guards wearing Power Armor, and the heavy firepower carried on the Armored Flying Vehicles, the scene was rather grand.
But Lu Yao just shrugged his shoulders, finding it boring.
As his strength grew day by day, he felt the rarity of challenging opponents.
These people in front of him were at most comparable to the three fools he encountered on his first trip to the Tianyuan Realm, truly uninspiring for battle.
What happened next, however, did pique Lu Yao's interest a bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this mont, suddenly, a loud shout rang out:
[President Long, what a grand scene this is—are you intending to level the group's villa to the ground?]
Accompanied by the voice, a large group of people flew over.
Long Ji and her party's expressions changed drastically!
"It's the Chairman! How did he get the news so quickly!?"
"There's a mole!"
It was clear the two sides were hostile towards each other, and the speed of the opposition's arrival obviously ant a spy was in place.
But those who could participate in today's matters were all hardcore mbers of the faction!
Long Ji's face looked especially unpleasant as she stood tall and said with a straight face:
"It is rare for the chairman to grace us with his presence, but as we are dealing with family affairs, it is inconvenient to entertain you. We hope for your understanding!"
"Family affairs? That's not quite right."
A group of people descended from the sky, all wearing Nano Robes with "breathing light" effects and with obvious signs of cybernetic enhancents on their bodies.
However, the style of the person leading them was a bit too much, even Lu Yao couldn't help but take a second glance.
They saw a three-ter tall silver humanoid cha, with a cylindrical glass tank at its torso, inside which floated a nearly one-ter-diater brain!
It was unmistakably in the form of a "brain in a vat," and Lu Yao couldn't be sure whether this counted as a person... and this thing even had a "virtual lover!"
At this mont, the beautiful silver cha waved amicably and said:
"Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to et you. I am the Letu Life Science Group chairman, Lin Yizhi. An accident turned into this, but I hope you don't mind. This is my companion—An Ji."
A virtual girl with blue hair smiled and waved back, to which Lu Yao responded with an odd nod.
Lin Yizhi then turned to Long Ji and the others and spoke:
"This concerns a change in shareholding, so it's not just your family affair. I have invited representatives from the board and the legal departnt to conduct a confirmation of the share rights here and now. We are carrying out official business. Does President Long have any objections?"
As he spoke, several senior mbers of the group stepped forward and said coldly:
"In accordance with legal provisions, Mr. Lu will receive the 5% of the group shares that you have been holding in trust from the late Research and Developnt Director, rlin."
The faces of Long Ji and her party couldn't look any worse, their voices trembling with fury: "Lin Yizhi, you're so poisonous!!"
Without this 5% of the shares, their own stake in the group would inevitably fall below 50%, triggering a series of chain reactions! They might even have to hand over the whole group!
And Lin Yizhi only needed to go by the books to effortlessly take care of his opponents.
Lu Yao yawned and said, "This brain in a vat does have so tricks up his sleeve. But it's just corporate intrigue, boring indeed."
He had seen this sort of thing too often in Blue Star's films and TV shows, and was already tired of it.
Fran nodded in agreent, finding it dull as well.
Just then, Zhuge Fu looked towards Lu Yao with a sudden chill in his gaze!
Today's situation could easily be handled—they could simply kill this man and there would be no need to transfer the shares, solving the problem naturally.
And Zhuge Fu was not as brash as he appeared on the surface; before taking any action, he had given the Security Director a aningful look, asking for his support.
The next second, the figures of the two blurred abruptly, clearly moving so fast that afterimages remained where they had been!
Their real bodies had instantly moved to Lu Yao's sides, slashing rcilessly with a giant sickle and a light sword, so fast they disappeared in the air!
Although Lin Yizhi was a brain in a vat, he had already reacted to the scene but did not make any effort to intervene.
If Lu Yao were killed, they would simply clone a successor for him, a simplistic solution. The goal was to reduce the share ratio of the president's group.
At this mont, Lu Yao was indeed very unwelco. Despite many people having the ability to co to his aid, they just watched with their eyes open.
But in the next instant, the expressions of everyone present changed dramatically!
The two who were speeding towards Lu Yao suddenly froze in mid-air!
As if trapped in transparent amber, they struggled with all their might, unable to move an inch.
Zhuge Fu's eyes were about to burst from their sockets with fury, but the only thing he could move was his eyes.
"Telekinesis!?"
"How is this possible! To immobilize two elites with just telekinesis!"
Though the cultivation thods of the two worlds were different, if one were to make a comparison, Zhuge Fu and his companion would be roughly equivalent to a Golden Body Realm warrior with above-average strength.
But before Lu Yao, they were just ants.
"Law Elental Spirit" might sound like a technically skilled realm, but in reality, it was about overpowering subtlety, with the breakthrough lying in the dramatic increase in Soul Strength.
After freezing the two n in the air, Lu Yao looked around, sowhat bored, and said, "Insects, I'm getting tired of this, and I'm in a hurry. Let's be more direct from now on."
