Dong Mountain.
Three Lions Building, Basement Five, First Office.
This was the Plantagenet Dynasty's permanent base on Dong Mountain. Unlike the low-key King's Party and Queen's Party, the Three Lions had turned to open diplomacy because of the improvement in the relationship between Bloody Mary and Lin Dong. They made it clear that they were working with Lin Dong. They were the strongest faction to begin with. Now that Bloody Mary had successfully established a connection with Lin Dong, their progress was even faster than the King's Party, who had lost Forks, and the Empress' Party, who had more Europa to consolidate.
Three days before the Whip of the Far East's plan of the Underworld, Bloody Mary secretly flew to Dong Mountain on a special Airbus.
But what was surprising was that …
She just came over.
But she did nothing.
She did not meet with Lin Dong in secret, nor did she contact the Whip of the Far East. She just watched quietly.
The Whip of the Far East knew that Bloody Mary was coming, but they did not want to provoke this terrifying woman. Bloody Mary watched from the sidelines, which was exactly what they wanted.
A tall blonde man in a suit and leather shoes walked to the door of the first basement office with his head held high. He first nodded at the female secretary, Belinda, and then asked in a low voice, "Mary hasn't made a move yet?"
"I don't know!" Belinda immediately shook her head.
She did not want to die.
Why did the previous secretaries die?
They were either spies or they could not resist the temptation of benefits from the outside. They said or did something they should not have done, and in the end, they were mercilessly killed by the one inside.
As a super elite sent to Dong Mountain, she had a great future. The problem was that this secretary was following the wrong boss. That was Bloody Duchess Mary II. Not to mention the enemies, just her subordinates alone had killed more than a hundred people.
Speaking carelessly without the approval of this superior was undoubtedly equivalent to sending his head to the guillotine.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just asking." The man was called Barnet. He was the first ambassador of the Three Lions stationed at Dong Mountain and one of Bloody Mary's most capable assistants. Of course, on the surface, he was the CEO of the Three Lions. He cooperated with the business community of Dong Mountain in various aspects such as horse racing, holographic imaging, virtual messaging, magic perfume, beauty and vitality potions, and so on.
"If you want to ask, go in yourself!" Belinda quickly picked up the phone and reported to Bloody Mary.
"Let him in." Bloody Mary was usually quite amiable.
Barnet strode in.
He reported his recent breakthrough in the business world of Dong Mountain.
Bloody Mary only nodded silently at his recent progress in the business world and did not make any comments.
Perhaps seeing that Bloody Mary was not interested, Barnet talked to her about the Mansion of the Dead. Bloody Mary listened for a while and nodded again. She pressed the call button on the table and said, "Belinda, ask Maureen, Scott, Edwin, Todd, Chad, Constance, Nitya and other department managers to the big conference room for a meeting."
Ten minutes later.
Todd, the sales manager, who was also the head of the intelligence department of the Three Lions, was the first to show up.
Scott, the logistics manager, and Maureen, the human resources manager, arrived one after another. Edwin, the finance manager, and Chad, the security manager, followed by Constance, the advertising manager, and Nitya, the consultant of the Three Lions, arrived last. In fact, there were many capable managers in the Three Lions Building, but Bloody Mary did not summon them, so they could only wait for the next opportunity.
Belinda stood behind Bloody Mary and took notes. All the department managers quickly reported their work progress.
They had worked under Bloody Mary for a long time and knew her habits.
Cut the crap.
Go straight to the point. Ask questions if you have any, but do not use your own opinion to make a conclusion. Bloody Mary hated the most when her subordinates thought they were smart.
"Barnet, you summarize!" Bloody Mary seemed to be in a good mood. She did not criticize one of her subordinates for not doing their job well, which made everyone secretly happy.
"We, the Three Lions, have gained a firm foothold in Dong Mountain. Our competitor, the King Party, is not satisfied after losing Fox. They intend to make a comeback. We have to continue working hard to suppress them. This is not only reflected in the relationship between the upper echelons and Mr. Wood, but also in the exchange of interests between the middle and lower echelons. I personally think that your achievements are worthy of recognition, but this is just the beginning. Don't get too arrogant because of it. In fact, if it wasn't for Fox constantly attacking the King's Party in the dark, we wouldn't have been able to suppress them so easily! "In terms of results in the business world, the King Party is actually on par with us. They even do better than us in some projects! For example, in the horse racing, I hope that we can fight for a new spot next month. I don't care what methods you use, this is a task that must be completed! "Barnet concluded.
"Understood, Mr. Barnet. Please watch our next performance!" Sales Manager Todd nodded and promised.
"We will cooperate fully." Chad, who was the manager of the security department, nodded as well.
"Boss?" The Three Lions's advisor, Nitya, suddenly looked at Bloody Mary.
"Go ahead." Bloody Mary indicated that she could speak directly.
"Regarding the Far East Whip's Mansion of the Dead plan, are we really not going to inform Mr. Wood? I received a top-secret message. Apparently, the Far East Whip's fanatical Red Necks are on the move, bringing forward the original Mansion of the Dead plan. "Nitya raised her doubts.
According to the good working relationship between Bloody Mary and Mr. Wood, they were not allies, but just friends.
No matter how one looked at it.
It was necessary to inform Mr. Wood.
Firstly, I don't have to pay the slightest price to win Mister Wood's trust, so why not?
According to the results of the Three Lions's elites' deductions, the Far East Whip might be able to cause a huge mess on Dong Mountain. However, it would be a joke if they said they could kill Mr. Wood! If they responded quickly, the Far East Whip might not even be able to cause a huge mess. They could only make a futile effort and sink to the bottom, becoming sand and stones in the river of history.
Bloody Mary waved her hand. "If Mr. Wood needs us, the Three Lions, to remind him, then he is not Mr. Wood."
Nitya was still unwilling to give up and suggested, "Boss, if we remind him in time, then at least the suspicion on us will be washed away immediately. It will also be easier for us to gain the favor of him and the Peach Blossom Cove military."
"I think not calling him at this time might be a better choice." Bloody Mary had her own considerations.
"Fine!" Nitya knew that it would be difficult to convince Bloody Mary.
Belinda saw that the meeting had temporarily come to an end.
She immediately picked up the coffee pot.
One by one, she poured coffee for the directors.
Everyone seized the time to drink a mouthful of hot coffee and organize the words in their heads. They were ready to deal with Bloody Mary's questions or tasks. Since Duchess Bloody Mary had gathered everyone here, it was definitely not as simple as listening to business operations.
When Belinda was pouring coffee for her, Nitya stopped her and shook her head. "I haven't been sleeping well these few days. I have a migraine."
Beside her, the blonde Constance, who had a devilish body, took a big gulp of coffee and smiled at Belinda. "Nitia, that's perfect. Give me some more, I need a big cup of hot coffee to perk myself up!"
Belinda saw that everyone was fine after drinking the coffee.
Then, she poured another cup for Bloody Mary.
In the end, she even filled her cup with coffee. However, before she could drink it, Bloody Mary spoke again. She immediately went into work mode and continued her shorthand work.
Bloody Mary picked up the coffee cup and raised it to her lips. "I'm more interested in what Mr Wood is going to do tonight. I guess he must be experimenting with his big toys. After we obtained the video, we quickly deciphered it and deduced it. In the end, we copied it and successfully surpassed the original version of the super-large mech. What I regret is that we don't have the ability to obtain relevant information in this area. Even if we have the ability, we can't do anything in this area. "
"Why?" As the intelligence director, Todd first took a sip of hot coffee. Then, he quickly put down the cup and looked at his superior.
"I firmly believe that the large-scale, gigantic, and super-gigantic mecha are a huge trap. Even if we obtain the relevant technology, we won't be able to replicate it. Most importantly, even if we replicate it, no one will be piloting it!" Bloody Mary concluded.
"People can be trained." As the CEO of the Three Lions, Barnet sometimes couldn't understand Bloody Mary's unconstrained thinking.
"Piloting a mech after training? What a joke! Do you have the smart control helmet in the game? That thing is the biggest trap! " Bloody Mary sneered. "Actually, there are three big traps in this, one better than the other. The first trap, according to Dong Mountain's saying, is to let others follow along and mess up the technology tree. Without Mr Wood's Super Divine Brain Realm, anyone who messes with this technology tree will die. The second pitfall is the training of manpower. After painstakingly training people, because this is a dragon slaying technique, we have no dragons to slay. In the end, the people we train will become mecha warriors under Mr. Wood's command, and our hard work will go to the benefit of others. The third trap is that after we solve the first two problems, we realize that there is no smart control helmet. The whole plan will become a joke. Are we going to use the steering wheel to pilot the mech? "
Bloody Mary said a lot.
She seemed to be tired. She stopped to catch her breath and brought the coffee cup she had been holding to her mouth.
Barnet and the others were completely stunned by Bloody Mary's words. They all looked at her blankly.
Suddenly.
Bloody Mary put down the coffee cup in her hand and smiled at her subordinates. "You all followed me into the Sacred Realm controlled by the Eden Army. What do you think about that trip underground?"
This question was out of the blue.
Barnet and the others looked at each other.
What?
Could it be that she had already discussed a future collaboration with Mr Wood back then?
Just as everyone in the room was confused and had their own thoughts, Bloody Mary picked up the coffee cup again and looked at her subordinates. "I heard that there is a special pot in the Far East called the Mandarin Duck Pot! This pot can hold two kinds of alcohol. One is normal alcohol, and the other is poisonous alcohol. It allows the person who pours the alcohol to control the entire process according to his will. It's very secretive! "
As she said this, the subordinates' faces changed.
The intelligence director, Todd, quickly picked up the coffee cup and drank a mouthful of hot coffee to prove his innocence. "Boss, my loyalty to you is far greater than my own life! If I dared to poison you, this coffee would have poisoned me to death! "
"Constance, why didn't you drink it?" Bloody Mary looked at her advertising manager with a smile. "I remember you were in need of coffee to refresh yourself!"
"I drank too much just now. I'm a little full!" Constance's body was trembling, and her smile was extremely forced.
"Belinda, what about you?" Bloody Mary looked at her secretary.
Crack!
Belinda, who had just picked up the coffee cup, was so scared that her face turned pale. Her hand trembled and the coffee cup fell to the ground.
The coffee splashed all over the floor.
Belinda's teeth were chattering as she tried to defend herself. "Boss, I didn't, I didn't!"
"Of course it wasn't you. You were an idiot who didn't know you were being used. You stayed right under my nose all day long. If you had betrayed me, how could you hide it until now?" Bloody Mary sneered and looked at the group consultant who was also pale. "Nitya, can you tell me what gave you the courage to play these ridiculous tricks in front of me? You used the excuse that you didn't want to drink coffee, and then played with a special coffee pot in front of me and secretly mixed the poison inside into the coffee. Constance also thought that her poor acting skills could make me lower my guard! I have to say, if it wasn't used to assassinate me, but someone else, this might be a vicious and clever murder plan! "
"No one, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't understand at all!" Nitya shook her head helplessly and insisted that she didn't know anything.
"Is it David? What a sad love story. Cinderella who had a crush on the prince was willing to pay any price for him, even if it was her own life! At the last moment of her life, she still tried her best to cover up for the prince in her heart. But what about the prince? After he heard the news of the failure, not only was he not moved by Cinderella's sacrifice, he might even secretly curse her for being too stupid! "Bloody Mary gently put down the coffee cup and gently clapped her hands.
Barnet, Todd, and Chad immediately stood up.
They vaguely surrounded Nitya.
At the same time, they were slightly distracted to pay attention to the trembling Constance. This woman who didn't have the slightest bit of combat power relied on her intelligence to get to where she was today. They really couldn't understand why she would betray the scariest of the Three Lions, Bloody Mary. Was it also because of David's seduction?
As for Belinda, Bloody Mary had already said that she had nothing to do with it. She was probably a poor chess piece inside.
Bloody Mary looked at her intelligence chief. "Todd?"
Todd shuddered and straightened his body. "Boss, I promise, I can take them down within ten seconds!"
"Once my trusted subordinate, the mad scientist Parsons who betrayed me in the Inferno expedition, we meet again! Should I greet you with a 'welcome'? Or should I congratulate you that your leader, Tserpesh, has finally discovered a secret method that has a higher chance of successfully passing through the Gates of Purgatory? You said that we would meet again. I have been looking forward to this day! " Bloody Mary still had a smile on her face, but everyone felt a chill from the murderous intent from her feet to the top of their heads.
"You, you, when did you recognize me?" The fake Todd's body trembled violently. He opened his mouth and was speechless.
"Ever since you appeared in front of me, I had already recognized you, Parsons. However, I knew that the time was not ripe yet, so I insisted on using you and put you in an important position. I even brought you into the Sacred Land of Eden. After completely removing your wariness, I knew that it was time to reap the rewards, so I brought you to Dong Mountain! "Bloody Mary shook her head lightly." Sometimes, I admire my own patience! "
"…" The fake Todd was completely shocked. To be honest, if it was him, he would never have come up with such a plan.
"Aren't you going to give me a little surprise? Parsons, I believe that you definitely have more tricks up your sleeves. Trying to kill me with a cup of poisoned coffee is a little too childish. Give me a little more surprise! " Bloody Mary raised her wrist and looked at the platinum watch on it. "How about this, I will give you another five minutes to perform!"
"…" The fake Todd's expression was uncertain.
I've been tricked.
I've fallen into Bloody Mary's trap.
Should I immediately counterattack, or should I immediately admit defeat and sacrifice myself to cover the escape of my companions who are still hiding in the Three Lions Building?
