Chapter 690: Chapter 374: You Are Not Worthy of My True Self’s Request!_2
Thinking of a certain possibility, Dorkan opened his mouth wide but didn’t dare to speak.
Su Ping discerned the thoughts in the other’s heart.
The merciful man nodded, confirming that the other’s thoughts were correct.
"Your defense forces here are even worse than I had imagined,"
"You must be Dorkan, the spokesperson for Kain Military Industry in this place,"
"I heard you were looking for me, so I came first,"
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing this, the old butler in the video couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Yet Dorkan was sweating profusely, cursing under his breath.
You old coot might be safe in the big cities on the surface, but... I’m the one facing this monster!
"Wait a minute! Let’s talk this out, I think you might have a slight misunderstanding about our Kain Military Industry, Mr. Kalosis!"
"You must be confused about your power too, we can..."
Before Dorkan could finish his sentence, Kalosis appeared in front of him as if by instant teleportation and directly grabbed his face with a large hand.
Dorkan attempted to struggle but passed out the moment he came into contact with the palm.
"I’m not confused, nor am I misunderstood,"
As Su Ping held Dorkan, he turned towards the old butler on the screen:
"Whether I’m arrogant is not for someone like you, who’s close to death, to define,"
Su Ping’s words left the old butler trembling with rage, his limbs icy cold with fury.
It had been years, so many years since he’d been spoken to in that manner.
Ever since he became the major butler of the Kain family, even the nobles treated him with warmth and respect.
The old butler had already sentenced the other to death in his heart.
However, before that, the old butler sneered and asked:
"You have shown us your capabilities."
"State your demands, Kalosis,"
"With the special abilities you are showing now, you could become a new elite or even a noble,"
"Our Kain Group can assist you in this regard, we can completely become allies,"
"..."
The old butler, of course, had no intention of truly reconciling; he was just betting that the other was merely a commoner, completely unaware of the real reason the nobles were after him.
At the same time, becoming an elite is often the greatest lifelong obsession for those born as commoners.
Given Kalosis’s background and the environment he grew up in,
The old butler believed his words were right on target, enough to make the other surrender willingly.
However, soon... the old butler’s expression drastically changed.
Even as the connection was lost, the disdainful laugh and words of Kalosis echoed in his mind:
"Demands?"
"Hahaha! Your demands are not worth my response, nor is the entire Kain Group worthy!"
"He’s dead for sure!"
"No! He will suffer endless torment in the cultivation tank! Fainting will be his lifelong delusion!"
For a good half minute, the old butler was stunned before abruptly regaining his senses.
Realizing his own lapse, he was consumed by impotent rage.
In the office, Su Ping adjusted the equipment and began to read the memories of Dorkan, the spokesperson.
This was Su Ping’s best choice for compensating for his lack of information as an individual.
Within Dorkan’s memories,
Su Ping saw part of the truth:
It was a remote meeting that Dorkan and many other officers were fortunate to attend.
In the conference room, dozens of nobles gathered together, laughing and cursing, deciding the course of major events.
Determining the fates of thousands upon thousands.
Then, they began to talk about those who had been in the Otherworldly Space, lacking the Awakening Factor, and thus were used as propaganda models to return home.
"We already have enough of these people,"
"For propaganda purposes, a thousand such people can’t compare to creating one hero,"
"Why don’t we establish an organization specifically to handle these leftovers,"
"It’s like recycling waste,"
"Recycling waste, huh? That doesn’t sound too bad. If they were chosen, at least in the eyes of the Genetic Research Institute, they have potential for awakening,"
"Let us conduct various experiments, perhaps we might find a new path?"
"Hahaha, if that’s the case, we will be the pioneers of a new era, won’t we?"
At this point, the approval of the majority of those present was audible.
Some time later, another meeting regarding unawakened individuals took place.
In the same setting, Dorkan was not at all surprised to learn about the failure of the waste utilization plan.
However, the plan had not come to an end.
"Having invested so much resource, are you willing to give up just like that?"
"We are not willing, and I bet those above us feel the same way."
"After all, we have indeed detected the Awakening Factor in the organs of some of our target individuals, though it was too scarce to have any experimental or practical value."
"Therefore, how about letting Kain Group take over, and we treat this as a game?"
"Everyone should believe by now that the research from the institute is useless."
"So, even I can’t determine whether the organs of a particular target individual contain the Awakening Factor, or to what extent the concentration reaches."
"What do you think, doesn’t this seem fairer than the gambling games we usually play, and full of luck as well?"
"And most importantly, our game here holds the possibility of an ultimate grand prize!"
"Discovering a new path to Awakening!"
...
Su Ping finished reading this segment of memory.
After chuckling lightly, he opened the safe in the office.
Inside, he found a large amount of cash and gold.
Gold, as a natural currency,
was also considered a general equivalent in the Federation.
Su Ping did not hesitate to take it all.
Then, he changed out of the ill-fitting clothes he was wearing, found a new set of clothes in the wardrobe next to the office, and dressed as if nothing had happened before walking out of the building.
As he left, Su Ping noticed two cars following him, and sensed malice coming from the people inside.
Su Ping took out two metal coins.
As he strode through the door, the two metal coins transformed into two streaks of metal jetting out and hitting the two cars.
Instantly penetrating the body of the cars, the high temperature caused the fuel tanks to explode.
The explosion and a brilliant flare of fire erupted behind Su Ping.
But, a true man never looks back at an explosion.
Amid the exclamations of passersby, Su Ping soon vanished at the crossroads.
In the Civilian Area of the Underground City, hundreds of different-sized gangs,
saw the bounty for Kalosis.
As the situation escalated, Kain Group could no longer cover it up.
The existence of the special individual, Kalosis, became known to a large number of nobles.
Then, these big shots, who had either known or heard something about the situation,
would rebuke such games outwardly,
but in actuality, they agreed with the proposition of the Kain Group’s representative.
They deployed elite mobile forces to capture Kalosis alive if possible.
Overnight, twenty mobile teams were mobilized from various bases to the Civilian Area of the Underground City in search of Kalosis.
Security forces and large-scale detection equipment were activated and began to be set up in zones.
All they waited for was Kalosis to reappear, so they could capture him beneath the inescapable Heaven and Earth Net!
At this time, Su Ping was proactively locating a base of a gang that had collaborated closely with Dorkan.
After clearing out its lackeys and using Dorkan’s secret code to lure over the gang’s upper echelon and key personnel, he eliminated them all.
Su Ping then used cash to have the clueless underlings on the bottom rung buy food in bulk for him.
Then he settled in the hideout, feasting and drinking as he desperately grew stronger,
all the while silently waiting for the Federation’s counterattack.
The Federation official in charge of the operation was now regretting the poor infrastructure in the Civilian Area,
which forced them to rely on primitive searches to find Kalosis.
Of course, although there were difficulties,
the official was very confident in locating Kalosis.
After all, with so many people and so much machinery,
even if he had to go to heaven and earth, they were going to find him!
