The incandescent light in the corridor of the Truth Society was quite hot. The Truth Society, which held the extraordinary wisdom of all the top scholars on the continent, was full of cold and rational aura.
The side of the quiet passage was transparent glass. Looking down, one could clearly see the mechanical arms and various instruments. The researchers with exoskeletons were so busy that they forgot about themselves.
The most outstanding existence among them was a woman who stood at the top of all knowledge — the president of the Truth Society, Maria. She was standing on the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the familiar yet strange Truth Society.
During the period of her "retreat," Andrew did do a lot of things. If he came out later, the Truth Society might have changed its name.
After all, it was not something an ordinary person would dare to directly blow up the passage of the upper and lower city that had been controlled by the Truth Society for thousands of years.
Andrew … didn't have the guts before.
Maria pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her sky-blue eyes flashed with a dim light.
"President Maria."
Her assistant shouted behind her, "The vice president, the heads of various departments, directors, and project leaders have all arrived in the big conference room."
Maria nodded thoughtfully. "I see."
She looked at the seemingly orderly scene in front of her and was silent for a moment. Then she turned and walked to the conference room. Her spotless white coat and long black hair fluttered in the wind. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Andrew sat in the second seat of the conference room, looking particularly calm.
It was a bit surprising that Maria could be promoted to the level of God and survive the explosion. At that time, Rachel had fully expected her return. The explosion was a gift prepared for her. With her strength, she shouldn't have missed it.
If it were the old Andrew, he might have begun to hesitate and panic.
After all, Andrew had once been suppressed by this ruthless genius until he couldn't breathe.
But now he had the omnipotent God as his backer, and the great founder of the Truth Society, who was once known as the "wisdom of the world," to cooperate with him. He didn't feel a trace of fear at all.
Andrew sneered in his heart.
Alive, it's good to be alive …
Between a pioneer whose life was unknown and a leader whose position was unknown, he preferred the latter.
If Maria didn't come out, she would always be the pioneer whose life was unknown, the only great scholar in the third era who attacked the level of God. But now, it might not be so …
The only thing worth paying attention to was what Maria found … Was it a notebook from downtown?
When Andrew thought of this, his expression became gloomy. Perhaps he had to report this matter to Boss Lin. He remembered that Boss Lin had always been interested in the lower city.
While he was thinking, Maria walked into the meeting room and attracted everyone's attention.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to see all of you again." Maria adjusted her glasses. The reflection of the incandescent light made it difficult to see her expression.
As soon as Maria's voice fell, she immediately received a lot of responses. Andrew raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
"My long seclusion was a little special. I'm sorry to hide it from everyone. Because the method I used was a little special, I had no choice but to go to the lower city. However, it's completely over now … Therefore, I can officially announce one thing here: I've ascended to the God tier."
Maria said indifferently.
There was an uproar in the conference room.
"That's great! This is great news for our Truth Institute!"
The faces of the scholars were full of excitement and fanaticism. "Since Lord Junior, after thousands of years, the Truth Institute has finally produced another God tier member! No, especially now that Lord Junior has confirmed that he's not dead, the Truth Institute with two God tier members has completely surpassed the Mystic Tower … This, this is the Truth Institute's opportunity! "
Fragmented congratulations filled the entire conference room. If it weren't for the fact that these scholars were naturally calm and inconspicuous, as well as the fact that their superiors were present, they would have already started cheering and jumping for joy.
Andrew gave a formulaic smile and swept his gaze across the entire office.
It seemed that Maria's prestige was still extraordinary. After all, she was born in a famous family and had extraordinary talents. She had been a genius girl who had been singing and striking all the way to the extraordinary person who was now leading the Truth Institute.
Not to mention that the number of God tier members in this world could be counted on one's fingers. Most people couldn't imagine what kind of existence a God tier member was. A God tier member was already an unimaginable existence that could pry open the laws of nature and become the master of a certain domain.
However, Andrew had a brainless God tier member who was at his mercy, as well as the only True God, Boss Lin, by his side. Therefore, Maria's God tier member didn't give Andrew much of a shock. He just sat in his seat and leaned back slightly, watching coldly from the sidelines.
In fact, Andrew deeply doubted whether Maria had mastered the law of domain. If she didn't have the law of domain, the so-called God tier member was just a blank check.
Andrew's eyes were full of scrutiny, but there was no fear in them at all.
"Somaye," Maria suddenly called out. Maria suddenly shouted. The female scholar sitting on the left side of the round table stood up. Maria looked at her and said, "Begin to report on the work done during my absence."
"Okay." The secretary general, Somaye, took out a thick stack of papers and was about to start reading.
"Don't bother." Maria raised her hand and interrupted her. She smiled and said, "Everyone's time is precious. Try to be as concise as possible. The report will be sent to my office in a moment."
"Okay, okay."
Somaye became nervous. She immediately put down the papers, cleared her throat, and began to report.
Maria leaned back and glanced at the expressions and movements of all the researchers below. At the same time, she listened to Somaye's report on the work of the Truth Society. She would point out the slightest oversight and shortcomings.
It was impossible to tell whether she was observing her subordinates or thinking quickly about the content of the report.
The God tier member has indeed reached this level. The sense of oppression is completely different from before … This was the thought in the minds of all the scholars in the conference room.
"… and, in the Egg of Demonic Realm incident," Somaye pushed her glasses and continued, "The owner of the bookstore took the initiative to show the strength of the God tier for the first time, and because …"
She hesitated.
Maria, who had been silent, suddenly looked up and asked, "Because of what?"
Somaye glanced at the vice president sitting next to her and said, "Uh, because of Vice President Andrew's decision-making mistake, the Truth Society and the bookstore stood on opposite sides."
"Ahem," Andrew immediately interrupted Maria before she could ask. He tapped his finger on the conference table and said, "But later, I found out that there was a mole behind this, and I have been forgiven by the owner of the bookstore."
"A mole?" Maria frowned.
"The Road of the Flaming Sword planted a mole in the Truth Society and wanted to use this to control the Truth Society. But thanks to President Andrew's insight," Somaye quickly replied.
"No." Andrew raised his hand and smiled modestly, "It's all thanks to Lord Younir."
He looked at Maria and deliberately emphasized the name Younir.
"Heh." Maria, who looked at Andrew, chuckled. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. "I see …"
Andrew sat on the chair without showing any weakness. His eyes were straight as if he was just stating the facts.
Maria put on a fake smile and said, "Although this is all thanks to Lord Younir, the Truth Society has been thriving during my absence. It's all thanks to President Andrew."
"You flatter me."
Andrew was well-versed in the hypocrisy of nobles. Even though he was old, his face still had the demeanor of a playboy. He maintained a perfect smile and said, "After all, I'm just the vice president. This is what President Maria told me before she went into seclusion. Naturally, I have to do my best."
Maria did not comment. She turned her head and said, "Continue. Tell me more about the owner of the bookstore."
"Yes."
Somaye nodded and told her everything related to Lin Jie from beginning to end.
Maria tilted her head and narrowed her eyes.
All the things, all the contradictions, and all the disputes during this period of time, although they had existed for a long time, because of the owner of the bookstore, they were all involved like a whirlpool. Every matter, every organization danced like marionettes under the will of the other party.
And the Truth Society had unknowingly become a tool in the other party's hands.
The scholars present now even felt proud that they could help Lin Jie.
This was not right. This was definitely not right.
And the other party seemed to rely on Andrew to influence the Truth Society … and that Younir who suddenly came back to life.
While Maria was thinking, Somaye's report also came to an end.
"… This is everything that has happened since you went into seclusion. This is the report I wrote."
Somaye placed the paper in front of Maria and then left.
Maria nodded and looked at the paper in silence. Her fingers tapped on the table.
The scholars present were waiting for the president to speak. They also quieted down. The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment.
After waiting for a long time, Maria raised her head and suddenly said in a relaxed tone, "Now the Truth Society has two God-level members. Congratulations. But considering Lord Younir's high status, it's not good for me to still be the president. How about this —"
"I'll give up my position. How about that?"
Maria smiled. It was as if she was discussing a small problem to improve the food of the Truth Society. Her tone made the entire conference room go silent. Everyone was stunned.
Andrew took a deep breath. He did not expect Maria to suddenly do this.
She … What did she want to do?
How could she not know that the position of president was her biggest insurance other than her own strength? As long as she stepped down from her position, Andrew was confident that he could make her disappear within three days. What gave her the courage to step down from her position?! Could it be … a trap?!
"Vice President Andrew, what do you think?" Maria suddenly looked at him.
Andrew was silent for a moment and said, "This is a serious matter. We can't make a decision so casually …"
Maria glanced at him with a faint smile, then looked at everyone and said loudly, "Why aren't you saying anything? Then I'll give you time. After three months, vote to decide who will be the president. "
