Chapter 512 Major General Lorenz
Obsidian Camp.
The office was brightly lit.
Major General Lorenz sat in the main seat, his expression showing several moments of struggle.
To his left stood a respectful adjutant, and to his right, Colonel Iserd, the direct subordinate of Opoles' squad.
"What do you think? Should I get involved?"
Lorenz looked up at the two of them, his face expressionless: "This is a troublesome matter. The 20% stake is very tempting, and I seem to be in a dilemma."
"Um……"
The adjutant carefully observed Lorenz's expression and cautiously said, "I think we can give it a try. If that gentleman doesn't give us the time of day, we can simply pretend this never happened and leave."
"But if he agrees, you will immediately receive a large sum of military funds. Everyone is working for the new Elidu, so he will likely understand your situation."
The higher-ups have given orders to avoid provoking Su Chen.
The wording conveyed a sense of apprehension, yet also a feeling of eager anticipation.
In this situation, the major general's question about choosing between two options clearly indicates that he has a plan.
He thought he could give it a try; it was just to ask, and there shouldn't be any serious consequences. Judging from that person's actions, he was clearly a good person, and good people can tolerate being tested.
"Makes sense."
Lorenz stroked his chin, pondering his words: "I'm merely reclaiming assets invested in by the military; I have no intention of being his enemy. I respect this new Void Hunter, and I admire him greatly."
He knew Su Chen's power; the elimination of all the voids in the city seemed like a miracle to him. Although it was explained as some kind of technology, mastering such technology was certainly not simple.
If you don't want to get into big trouble, it's best to avoid getting involved with Su Chen.
In principle, he did not want to meet Su Chen, not even to exchange a single word with him.
Unfortunately, he had a compelling reason to do so. His years of shady dealings with Lucre were all documented by Lucre, and if Lucre implicated him, he would face a military court.
If he doesn't go, he won't get the evidence and will risk the explosion.
If he goes there, he can clear out the evidence and get 20% of the shares for free.
Actually, this is a multiple-choice question.
“That’s right. The Defense Force, under your guidance, invested in Huijingmeike in its early days and now owns a 20% stake.”
The adjutant racked his brains and came up with a reasonable excuse: "In order to protect the interests of the defense forces and to pay the soldiers' wages, it is perfectly reasonable for you to take back this money."
"Ah."
Lorenbei nodded and looked at the other person: "Iserd, what do you think?"
This is one of his rising stars, commanding a very formidable combat squad.
If the lieutenant was an extension of his will, then Iserd was a truly capable and powerful general.
"..."
Iserd looked up from his silence and said calmly, "You're just getting back the final payment for a failed investment, that's normal."
She's thinking about some things; things have been really chaotic lately.
After the safe zone was established, many of their existing deployments in the city became ineffective, and their influence suffered a severe blow.
She doesn't care about the lives of her cult members, but that means she has less power at her disposal.
The plan changed, and the original plan to deal with Lorenz and Lucre was forced to be abandoned. Of course, Lucre no longer needed her to handle things.
The important figure who drew the safe zone was truly powerful and unfathomable. She watched the video repeatedly and could only see that he was unfathomable.
Only after she became a bishop of the Order of Praise, having been possessed by the Originator's Mark, did she realize how powerful the Void was and how incredible it was that the Void had disappeared from New Ellie City.
Unfortunately, it appeared too late.
"very good."
Lorenz was very satisfied and said, "Then let Opoles' team carry out this security mission to protect military property from harm."
He acknowledged the strength of Opoles' squad, which included several special individuals left over from top-secret experiments, making them elite soldiers in the defense force.
With them protecting him, he could feel more at ease.
Although he didn't intend to clash with Su Chen, he always valued his life, and being prepared was much better than being unprepared.
"Mission accomplished, Major General."
Looking at the greedy fool before him, Iserd calmly said, "I will personally lead the team to ensure that the defense forces' property is not lost."
She didn't really want Opoles' team to face Su Chen; the difference in strength was too great, and if they fought, they would all die.
She liked these younger people very much, even if they were too naive.
However, based on the information she gathered, there was actually no risk. Number 11 in the team had a close relationship with Ambi, and Trigger and Fahrenheit were good friends, which effectively mitigated the risk.
She also wanted to use the influence of these younger people to ask for a chance to meet Su Chen face to face.
The return of the Silver Army greatly shocked her.
Will a sinner who prays to God receive the response he desires?
She found it difficult, but she was determined to try. She had turned to the Primordial Lord because of her obsession with resurrecting her comrades, but that resurrection was merely an empty shell. Now, seeing a more perfect being, she couldn't help but harbor unrealistic hopes.
Success is certainly something to celebrate, but failure and death were the fate she deserved.
She was prepared for destruction.
Of course, Lorenz should be included.
“Your awareness is very high, Iserd.”
Lorenz was quite impressed: "Are you staying tonight? I have something to tell you."
It must be said that this subordinate is very capable and has a great personality.
He wanted her to be one of his own, to be completely subservient.
"No, Major General."
Iserld said coldly, "I still need to convey the mission details to Opoles' team, so I can't stay any longer."
It's disgusting; that ugly face always reminds her of her comrades who were killed.
Let's enjoy this moment of triumph for now; this is the last chance.
"let it go."
Lorenz waved his hand as if nothing had happened.
She was still not loyal enough and was unwilling to kneel down before him.
So don't even think about going any further until you've completely surrendered.
"Major General, look at her, she really thinks she's very capable!"
Watching Iserd's departing figure, the adjutant immediately put on a smug face: "What good is ability? Only by gaining your favor can one soar to great heights!"
"Hmm, well said." Lorenz was pleased and patted his adjutant on the shoulder: "Come on, lie down."
"..."
The adjutant's face stiffened, but he still obediently complied.
"Hmm~"
Lorenz breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.
He enjoys trampling on the taboos of ordinary people, which means he has supreme authority.
Isn't being a general all about tormenting ordinary people?
He thought Su Chen was foolish; if he had that kind of power, he would never have given away a single penny of Huijing Meike to anyone else.
I'm so jealous of those young, talented guys who can easily gain power, status, and wealth that surpasses their own, and then squander it without a second thought.
Lorenz's eyes held a deep rage, making him even more unrestrained.
"..."
The adjutant cursed under his breath.
He wants to climb to the top step by step.
It's not about proving how great he is, but about getting revenge on the people who betrayed him!
