Chapter 269 Great achievements? Here I come!

7.14, afternoon.

In the center of New York City, the most prosperous city on the other side of the ocean, in the conference room on the ninety-sixth floor of Behemoth's headquarters building, which is hundreds of meters high, twelve directors have arrived to attend the meeting.

Ron Keller, one of the twelve directors, a stocky man with blond hair and wearing a striking white suit, stood up and spoke incessantly.

"Everyone, let's put aside the matter of Nason Island for now. It is said that the sacred tree in the center of the island can bless the islanders with special abilities, but it is nothing compared to the treasures we have discovered so far!"

"The amount of manpower and material resources invested by the company in the research and development of the SP series of drugs is countless. Since SP1, there are only two surviving test subjects, Sean and Daodiao. From them, we see the unlimited potential that has been activated. With the iteration and update of the drugs, the mortality rate of the test subjects is constantly decreasing, and the subsequent test subjects have also awakened good abilities one after another. But I am always convinced that this is a black hole with no end. Instead of waiting aimlessly like this, I can give all my colleagues a better choice."

He spoke passionately, but was soon questioned:
"Are you referring to the news in the past two days? An artificial life, with a lifespan far longer than that of an ordinary person, and eight incredible abilities, it seems like a long-planned farce. Although I don't know what their purpose is, what I want to say is that if you, Ron, are also fooled by such a clumsy trick, then I am really disappointed in you."

The person who spoke was an older director named Leon. He was once one of the executive directors of Behemoth and had an incredibly high level of experience. At the moment, he was sitting in a wheelchair, his hair was almost falling out, but his appearance was exceptionally energetic, and his sinister eyes carried a sense of scrutiny.

The other directors were all flipping through the documents that Ron had prepared before the meeting. Their expressions varied. Some had frowned, expressing doubt, while others had the corners of their mouths slightly raised, with greed in their eyes.

At this time, Ron looked at Leon and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Hey! Mr. Leon, don't you think I would have done some research beforehand?"

"Next, I will show you something that will never disappoint you."

Ron took out a USB drive that he had received not long ago, inserted it into the computer, and played it on the screen. Soon, a video came into view and dispelled their doubts.

A pink-haired woman with scarlet pupils appeared on the screen. Behind her was a dark cave with many bonfires burning.

"Everyone, it's our first meeting. I'm very happy to meet you. With the help of Mr. Ron, this video should be successfully presented to you. Let me introduce myself briefly. I'm Qu Tong from Yaoxing Society."

The conference room fell silent for a moment. All the directors were attracted by the scene in the video. The woman hanging on the rock wall with a chain piercing her scapula was none other than the special life form that had caused a sensation around the world in the past two days - Feng Baobao.

"Well, to make a long story short, as you can see, the person behind me is indeed someone who has lived for seventy years without aging. Her birth is closely related to the eight abilities possessed by the Trinity Gate."

"Of course, I have one of those things, too. To put it in a way that you can understand, I would call it the Hand of God."

Qu Tong waved to the side, and several unremarkable subordinates came over. She used her right hand, which was glowing with red energy, to touch those people, easily changing their appearance and showing it to the camera.

"It's the real deal, everyone. It can cure all diseases, repair organs and limbs, strengthen the body, and modify the soul and memory. Aren't you interested?"

Just when those directors were wavering, Qu Tong seemed to have anticipated that no matter how sweet the words were, they could not impress these old foxes. Only the facts seen with their own eyes were convincing enough.

Then, she took a sharp dagger from her subordinate and cut off her right palm smoothly without even the slightest change in her expression, as if the pain did not exist at all.

"Look, everyone in front of the screen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wound began to glow red, and the flesh and blood began to grow madly. In less than ten seconds, a new hand was regenerated.

This scene, which could be called a medical miracle, made many directors exclaim in amazement.

Qu Tong pointed to her head and smiled faintly:

"All the directors present here, you have wealth and power, but you are still like other ordinary people and cannot change the limitation of your life span. One day you will have to leave this world and everything in the past will become dust. But now, if I give you a chance to have eternal life, I wonder if you are willing to reach a win-win cooperation with me?"

"Some of the abilities of the Hand of God are to copy souls and clone bodies. To be exact, as long as I want to live, my life span is infinite. Just like the USB drive you just saw, it was sent by a cloned body near your building under my control."

"Also, I have a pretty good gift for everyone."

Qu Tong turned the camera and a dark yellow furnace appeared several meters away. Her voice seemed to have some kind of magic, easily penetrating the screen and bewitching the dozen or so directors in the room.

"I know that your company has been researching the SP series of drugs for a long time. They are amazing and can help test subjects awaken their super powers. However, the drug's mortality rate remains high, and there are strict screening conditions for test subjects."

"And the magic weapon you see now is called the Self-cultivation Furnace. It is forged using the 'Alchemical Storm' and the 'Hand of God'. Its effect is that if you randomly put an ordinary person in, after the transformation of the Self-cultivation Furnace, he will be able to awaken his superpowers. In addition, the use of the Self-cultivation Furnace is not a one-time thing. Let the awakened superpower enter and temper it several times. The strength of the superpower development will continue to deepen and improve." "Okay, that's all for the introduction. Let's talk about other things that need your help."

"The man who is about to appear on North Kolai Island has lived for more than 150 years and is still so young. As ordinary people, you can also easily achieve the same feat as him as long as you have 'eternal life'. If you decide to kill him, then not only will the eight scriptures he has belong to you, but I can also give you this self-cultivation furnace."

"Also, do you see the little girl hanging over there? She was also created using those eight abilities. I'm sure you know what kind of value she contains. I'll give her away as an additional condition. So."

"Please attack the people on the island and do your best to kill him. All the treasures will belong to you. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"Zi——!"

Qu Tong didn't say anything more. The video ended abruptly and the screen went dark.

The directors in the conference room breathed hurriedly and looked at each other in surprise. To them, if this event was successful, the benefits it would bring would undoubtedly far outweigh the exploration of the sacred tree on Nason Island.

Unlimited life span is indeed very attractive. Looking at his arrogant colleagues in the past, who are now unable to hold back, Ron strikes while the iron is hot:
"Is there anything wrong with my decision? Everyone, I believe that in a week, we will achieve unprecedented achievements!"

"By then, we will have the technology to decipher the eight scriptures, and we will also get the self-cultivation furnace and special life form from Ms. Qu. The harvest will be unimaginable. We will be recorded in the history books, we will achieve eternity and lead the times!"

Ron's ambitious words were in perfect agreement with the wishes of the other eleven people and received the support of the entire board of directors.

Leon approved of Ron's plan and said:
"Gather all the manpower that can be mobilized, equip them with the best weapons, and go there to make arrangements in advance. No matter how much it costs, we must capture Jiang Mo from the Sanyi Sect alive. As for the conditions from Qu Tong, there is no need to rush for now."

"As long as we decipher the eight secret scrolls and interrogate Jiang Mo to extract important information, we may be able to build a new self-cultivation furnace."

He is the oldest among all the directors, and his corrupt body is only a few years away from death. He wants to obtain these life-sustaining powers at all costs.

"Okay, thank you for your trust. I will personally take charge of this operation and reap the rich and sweet fruits of victory for you. Please wait patiently for my triumphant return!"

Ron raised his arms and shouted, his face flushed. He was one of the highest directors of Behemoth, so he knew what a terrible dimensionality reduction attack would be if the firearms developed in the laboratory were combined with the super-powered people under his command.

Like him, other directors firmly believed that there was no living being in the world that could withstand the baptism of fire. The arrogant old ghost from the East would pay a heavy price for his ignorance.

At the same time, the obese director sitting next to Ron frowned and said vigilantly:

"The targets we need to deal with are not just Jiang, but also vultures and hyenas from all over the world. These people may be our biggest obstacle."

"There are also some threatening forces in the country that will intervene. If we take it lightly, I'm afraid it will end badly."

"George, what do you mean?" Leon guessed slightly.

The fat, freckled director paused and proposed a bold idea:

"I think we can make an exception and release the sealed SP0 experimental subjects and the latest SP13 creations once to ensure absolute victory."

"."

Many directors remained silent. This seemed feasible, but the risk was too great. Those experimental subjects possessed destructive abilities. Even if there were chips controlling their brains, it was not certain that they could be controlled if they went berserk.

a long time.

Leon broke the deadlock. He looked around and said thoughtfully:

"Okay, I agree with this proposal."

"If any accidents occur during the mission, I am willing to take full responsibility with George and Ron."
