Chapter 1101 The Arrogant Rat King
Then, the chairman, his face ashen, continued, "Gentlemen, our gene company is currently facing a major crisis."
“During this period, we lost several shareholders from various races, including four important shareholders: Shadow Annihilation of the Shadow Race, Village Wood of the Sun Wheel Race, Tianhao of the Celestial Race, and Black Yan of the Evil Nether Race.”
The foundation upon which the gene company controls half of the myriad races is built upon these descendant shareholders from different races. They form player alliances, each leading their respective races, and have amassed a vast resource network encompassing nearly half of all races.
But now, due to Muraki's betrayal, he directly led his group of Nichirin Clan subordinates away from the company, and the Nichirin Clan has completely broken free from their control.
The Shadow Clan is alright; after Shadow Annihilation died, at least his sister Shadow Lan is still alive.
Tianhao of the Celestial Clan was originally the eldest prince of the Celestial Clan and was destined to inherit the throne sooner or later. However, now that Tianhao is dead, the Celestial Clan has completely broken free from the company's control.
As for the Evil Nether Clan... they originally thought that after Black Yan's death, there would be Black Sword to take his place.
Who would have thought that the Netherworld Clan, led by Black Sword, wouldn't even last three seconds... In order to capture the ferocious beast Chaos, Black Sword gathered 80% of the Netherworld Clan's strongest warriors and their most powerful army in the Netherworld City. However, after the explosion of the Heavenly Star, all the strong warriors perished, and the clan was reduced to a third-rate race. Their current strength is probably even weaker than the original human race...
"After losing the power of the powerful races such as the Sun Wheel Clan, the Celestial Clan, and the Evil Nether Clan, the overall power of our Gene Company will be greatly reduced, and the company's entire economic operation system will suffer an unprecedented blow."
The chairman turned to Cang Ting: "Cang Ting, how is your plan progressing?"
If Cang Ting, as the Thunder General of the Eastern Dragon Clan, can successfully overthrow and replace Dragon King Ao Sheng and seize power in the Eastern Dragon Clan as soon as possible, then with the Eastern Dragon Clan and the Fallen Angel Clan, which are ranked third and fifth among all races, the Gene Company will still be the absolute number one powerful conglomerate among all races!
Cang Ting: "I'm still in the preparation stage. The Eastern Dragon Clan's foundation is there. Don't forget who their ancestors were. It won't be that easy."
"Hehehe..." A sharp, cunning laugh, like that of a rat, rang out. It was Rat King. "I say, General Cang Ting, you've been planning this for so long, and you're still 'preparing'? This efficiency... isn't it a bit too frustrating?" His words were laced with undisguised provocation.
Cang Ting's eyes flashed with icy light, and a hint of dragon might appeared: "What did you say?"
“Speaking of which, although Tianhao is dead, his troops are still here, aren’t they?” The Rat King ignored him, his rat-like eyes darting around before turning to the chairman: “And the Evil Nether Clan. Although the Nether City was bombed to the ground, there are still quite a few troops guarding other territories of the Evil Nether Clan. We can absorb them all.”
"Easier said than done." Ji Cangyuan glanced at him: "Tianhao was originally the eldest prince of the Heavenly Clan, and Heiyan was originally the Underworld Emperor of the Evil Underworld Clan. Now that they are dead, what makes you think you can get the Heavenly Clan and the Evil Underworld Clan to listen to you?"
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true." Rat King chuckled twice, his small eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "Chairman, if I, Rat King, have the ability to take over the remnants of Tian Hao and Hei Yan's army... then wouldn't those troops, along with the resources in their territories, be... under my control?"
The chairman raised an eyebrow, his deep gaze lingering for a moment on the rat-like face of the Rat King.
The Evil Nether Clan suffered a severe blow this time. Although its military strength is now estimated to have dropped to outside the top two or three hundred among all races, the territory and resources that the Evil Nether Clan originally possessed still remain.
If war hadn't been prohibited during the Summit of All Races, all nations would have already launched military campaigns against the Evil Nether Kingdom, vying to carve up its remaining territory and resources.
How do you plan to recruit them?
"Well..." Rat King deliberately dragged out his words, but did not give an answer. He just chuckled and said, "Of course I have my own way."
Leona sneered: "President Rat King, you have quite the idea, actually wanting to swallow up the remaining forces left by Tianhao and Heiyan all by yourself."
"Night Elf Queen, if you can do it, you can come and steal it too." Rat King shrugged, looking like a scoundrel.
The chairman paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, if you can really take over the remaining forces of Tianhao and Heiyan, then you can use these troops and resources as you see fit."
Upon hearing this, the greed in Rat King's eyes intensified: "Then... when my power grows, the company will definitely give me a larger share, right?"
"Of course," the chairman readily agreed.
"Hehe, that's good..."
"I have a lot of things to do," said Rat King. "If there's nothing else in this meeting, I'll hang up now."
The chairman nodded slightly, which could be considered as tacit approval.
Rat King grinned, revealing tiny, sharp teeth, and snapped his fingers. His figure, composed of data streams, flickered a few times before completely disappearing from his seat.
“Then, I’ll take my leave too,” Leona said coldly, snapping her fingers as well, her figure vanishing in the form of electronic particles.
"Chairman." Ying Lan looked at Su You, who was covered in blood on the ground, clenched her fists, and said in a deep voice, "Can I handle this murderer who killed my brother?"
“No.” The chairman said calmly, “He is currently the highest-level genetically modified human after receiving the Qiongqi cells, and the company still needs to conduct research on him.”
Su You did not die; she had simply fainted.
Even if they are dead, the body company will definitely collect them for research.
Yinglan bit her lower lip, her eyes surging with hatred. In the end, she stopped arguing and cut off the holographic projection connection.
As the meeting concluded, the figures of the other Wanzu shareholders also disappeared from the data stream.
The huge conference hall was now empty except for the chairman, Karl, and Xingminglong.
“Chairman,” Carl said, “that guy Rat King seems a bit off. He’s always been a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, and he’s always been an opportunist. Today he actually dared to talk back to Cang Ting.”
The power of the Rat Spirit Clan is far inferior to that of the Eastern Dragon Clan.
Although one of them was the president and the other a general in their respective races, Rat King used to always have a smile on his face when he met Cang Ting.
"Not today, he's been acting strangely lately." The chairman sneered, "He's become so arrogant, there's only one possibility: he's mastered some kind of special power, or he's made a major breakthrough in his cultivation."
People like Shu Kui are always easy to see through.
All the previous flattery and fawning was a facade; once he gained power, his smug and gloating nature would be impossible to hide.
Karl said, "Do you suspect that he encountered some extraordinary event? Or received some rare system mission and obtained some top-grade magic treasures?"
"Perhaps," the chairman said. "Send someone to keep an eye on him."
Karl nodded: "Yes."
The chairman looked at Xingminglong and asked, "So, how exactly did you find Suyou and retrieve the Demon Sword?"
