Maria's eyes were still calm and arrogant. She didn't seem to feel that she was in a disadvantageous position at all.
Andrew's current strength was still far from the God-level. Under Maria's suppression, he was actually full of a sense of crisis. However, he looked at Maria's sky-blue eyes without a trace of fear. He even suddenly laughed —
"Hahahaha …"
Andrew leaned back slightly.
Maria's face suddenly turned cold. She was silent with a straight face, as if she couldn't understand Andrew's smile.
"Alas, why are you so nervous, President Maria?"
Andrew raised his hand and spread it out, maintaining a smile. "If the notebook in your hand is what Boss Lin wants, and Boss Lin supports you as a reward for you getting the notebook, then of course, I have nothing to say."
"After all, the talent and gift you have shown to Boss Lin are indeed things that I can't do." Andrew bowed to Maria as an aristocrat. "As long as Boss Lin is happy and feels that you deserve it, then to me, you are the well-deserved president of the Truth Society, and I will be your lackey."
Maria sneered. "So, your idea is that the position of the president of the Truth Society can only be justified if the owner of the bookstore approves it? Why! You have really been completely brainwashed by that guy … "
Andrew's smile was fanatical and strange. "Why? Because the Lord is great and unparalleled. "
"Lunatic," Maria scolded in a low voice, giving such an evaluation. Remember this in a second: http://m.9biquge.com
Andrew seemed to be very satisfied with Maria's evaluation and didn't refute it. He even nodded and continued, "But it's a pity …"
"What's a pity?"
Maria took the opportunity to ask. She knew that there was no way to persuade Andrew with normal words. If she wanted to get more information out of him, she could only see how much he was willing to say.
"It's a pity that you don't believe in Mr. Lin at all …"
Andrew whispered. "You don't even want to use this notebook to ask for anything, or to get benefits from Mr. Lin. You have another purpose."
"But Boss Lin is a great and benevolent existence. As long as you pray to him, you will get a response and gain power, even if it's a person with no faith like you," Andrew said. "So, it's too unfair.
"Don't you think that in order to make this unfair situation fairer … I should be the one to offer sacrifices to Boss Lin?"
Andrew put his hand on his chest and said, "Please give me this notebook."
Maria thought to herself that she was right. She looked at Andrew expressionlessly. The gaze of a god made Andrew's hair stand on end, but his posture and expression did not change at all.
After a long time, she said, "In your dreams."
Andrew narrowed his eyes. "Since you know that Boss Lin is studying this notebook, aren't you afraid that I'll snatch it and kill you?"
Of course, he would not be the one to make a move. It would be Rachel.
"Ha." Maria's soft black hair hung down behind her back. She looked at Andrew with cold eyes and sneered, "You can try. Rachel has already tried, hasn't he? If he had succeeded, I wouldn't have come up from Downtown. "
Andrew was silent for a moment. Although he had prayed for great power from the bookstore owner, it was still a little difficult to deal with this woman.
But now Andrew could be sure that although Maria had reached the god level, she had not mastered the almost heaven-defying domain like Wang Erde and Yue Sefu.
Otherwise, in the face of this level of provocation at such a close distance, she would definitely not just fight back with words.
"My respected President Maria, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. The collapse of the Mechanical Transmigration was just an accident."
Andrew forced a smile. Although he did not know what made Maria so fearless, he could not expose the devices in the Mechanical Transmigration.
"Since you've said that we'll have a vote in three months, then let's wait for three months."
Andrew said and picked up Hood from the ground.
Hood, who had fainted, had completely lost consciousness, but his right hand was still filled with countless slippery tentacles. They were like soft-bodied creatures with no five senses, hiding in Hood's body. Now, they had finally gained control of this body.
"It's okay, Hood." Andrew gently patted the somewhat restless tentacles, and the tentacles began to slowly calm down and gradually grew a new arm. Except for the torn clothes, his arm seemed to have never been broken.
Maria silently watched how Andrew treated her "nephew." She secretly clenched her fists and did not say a word. Although she wanted to take back her only relative directly, she was more afraid that when Hood woke up, he would be another stranger.
"Goodbye, President Maria."
Andrew left her office with Hood.
It was not until she could no longer feel his breath that Maria breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at the bloodstains on the ground, which began to gradually evaporate and disappear, as if some kind of invisible creature had completely left the office. Maria relaxed her nerves and sat down on the stool.
After relaxing for a moment in the chair, Maria raised her hand, and a mirror-like ring appeared in her palm. Countless enchantment runes were faintly discernible on the ring, and a broken stone tablet fragment was floating in it.
Maria's eyes showed respect. The fragment glowing with a dark red light was inscribed with countless different characters, but because too many of them were missing, they could not be deciphered. However, just by looking at it, one could feel the temperature that was enough to cause tremors, like a bonfire in the dark.
She put away her palm, leaned slightly on the back of the chair, and closed her eyes. The memories from the lower city came roaring back, and the feeling of being on the verge of a mental breakdown every day filled her mind.
If it weren't for this token of the original witch, Maria would have died in the lower city.
At that time, the explosion set up by Rachel had indeed caused Maria to have a narrow escape. No, it could even be said that she had died once, and this token brought her back to life.
Presumably, no matter how powerful the owner of the bookstore was, he could not do anything to the power of the original witch.
Maria, who had closed her eyes to rest, suddenly opened her sky-blue eyes and took a deep breath. Whether it was for the truth, the Truth Society, or Hood, she had to go to the bookstore.

Lin Jie sat lazily on the newly purchased sofa in the bookstore, watching the snowy TV.
After the last heavy snow in Nuo Jin, the weather began to gradually warm up, causing it to be rainy for the past few days. Lin Jie's old TV to kill time also began to snow.
Lin Jie stood up with the remote control and patted the TV box hard. The snowflakes began to dissipate, and the news anchor was finally able to say a complete sentence.
"According to our news agency, a large area of the laboratory of the Truth Society, a famous organization of scholars located in the central area of the city, has collapsed." The anchor said solemnly, "The number of casualties is temporarily unknown, but experts say that this is caused by periodic subsidence …"
Lin Jie raised his eyebrows and listened to the reporter's analysis. Periodic subsidence … The geological conditions of the A Zier Continent are getting more and more outrageous.
He originally thought that snowstorms and earthquakes were the limit, but he didn't expect there to be such a saying.
"Well, after all, it's a completely man-made city, so it's normal for there to be some problems with the foundation. Since the downtown area is underground, the ground must have been hollowed out, so it's reasonable for it to have subsided."
Lin Jie forced himself to believe it.
However, this time, the Truth Society was directly affected … He didn't know if Andrew, Hood, and Prima were in trouble.
Thinking of this, Lin Jie felt that it was necessary for him to express his condolences to these three regular customers of his. Thus, he took out his communication device, but before he could connect, he heard the TV continue to say, "At present, the Truth Society is temporarily not accepting interviews, and the communication line is temporarily cut off …"
After thinking for a short while, Boss Lin decided to call Ji Zhixu. She was also in the central area, so she should know the situation better. Moreover, there was one thing that he hadn't answered last time, so he decided to let her know.
The communication device only rang once before it was picked up. Ji Zhixu on the other side said respectfully, "Boss Lin, what can I do for you?"
