Seized by the System

“I see, Boss Black Robe, looks like there are some results, although it’s only one percent. These people resort to deception in order to achieve obvious results and save some face. They were afraid that we wouldn’t have the patience and give them more investment funds, so they decided to cheat. Human beings’ deep-rooted habits are as bad as ever.” Claudia said to Black Robe.

“Hmph, do they think we have lives as short as theirs? Don’t bother mention several months, even if it were several hundred years, we can still afford to wait…” Black Robe said coldly.

“Yes, yes, we understand. We won’t dare to exaggerate the experimental results next time. Please forgive us this time.” Director Madson hurriedly nodded.

“Hmph, then I’ll spare you two just this once.” Black Robe said furiously.

Although he said he would spare them, everyone knew that if the Pharos of the East did not shine here, there would be no pardon at all. The two men would have long been sent to the underworld.

“Isn’t that better? Frequently resorting to killing will only lead to bad things. Only when you have love in your heart can you learn tolerance and discover the truth.” Vigilante A said righteously.

“Hmph, complete nonsense.” Black Robe’s head hurt at hearing the words, but he had to endure because he could not defeat him.

After Vigilante A finished speaking, he drifted away.

All the people in the room looked at his shrinking figure with complex feelings.

There was a touch of happiness in Black Robe’s anger. If Vigilante A had not stopped him, he would have delayed his master’s plan.

After all, so-called geniuses were all like this. If you killed them, it might not affect the final evolution of history, but it would definitely delay the historical process.

The person in charge of this laboratory, Madson, was also in charge of theoretical breakthroughs and was a theoretical genius. His subordinate, Wang Chao, was an experimental genius.

However, the management of their subordinates was obviously unqualified, which was also a responsibility that they had to pay. After all, they had taken the bulk of the investment funds.

“Remember this, don’t give me any more trickery. My master and I don’t lack patience. This is my final warning. If this happens again, not even Vigilante A will be able to save you!” Black Robe said viciously.

“Yes, yes, we’ll definitely strengthen our management and prevent such an exaggerated experimental result from happening ever again. Absolutely.” The half-bald white man nodded rapidly.

Just now, for the first time, he truly realized that before absolute power and death, all previous glory, status, money, reputation, and poise… Were not worth mentioning at all.

“Good. We’ll transfer the funds for the next stage. You should do your best.” Saying this, Black Robe swept his robe, and the three people disappeared from the room.

Then, there was a roar from the room.

“Find him, root him out. I want him to go to court, to sit on the electric chair!”

“Just fine them some money and let them continue to do work… Spare them this time, Director.”

…

At the same time, in the System Space.

Fang Ning laid on the large bed in the lounge but was unable to sleep.

“Sigh, no wonder that devil looked down upon us that time. Who would have thought that he would have such a big ambition and goal… By comparison, our pattern really is too small. It’s no wonder that the sun’s rays appeared abnormal awhile ago. Now I understand.”

“What’re you muttering about? You’re sleeping in broad daylight. Did you eat all those lofty ambitions you established already?” Sir System said, dissatisfied.

“I’m not sleeping, I’m thinking…” Fang Ning weakly refuted.

“Yep, you’re always thinking until you fall asleep… Don’t try to trick me again, you’re used to doing that.” Sir System said disdainfully.

“Damn it, don’t you know that geniuses often get inspirations from their dreams? I’m just following the methods of my predecessors.” Fang Ning said with conviction.

“I don’t get it. Do you know what that devil is trying to do?” The System quickly changed the subject.

“Hmph, you ignorant System. Couldn’t you tell by the way they were experimenting just now? They covered the light bulb with an unknown blue material… Needless to say, Zhi Nan must have covered the sun in some way to convert the sunlight into devilish energy some time ago, which would cause the sun to dim. It’s just that the principle really makes one wonder. How can the energy of this scientific world be transformed into the vitality of an extraordinary world?” Fang Ning said disdainfully.

“Hmph, the wisdom of an ordinary person. He’s a sage among the Devil Saints, the wisest among the Devil Clan. How would an ordinary person like you understand what he’s thinking?” The System was also disdainful.

“Damn it, there really is an irrecoverable gap. I have to think of a way to get their data back.” Fang Ning said, unreconciled.

“Whatever, you can ask Robert for help.”

Fang Ning was astonished that the System could give such effective advice so quickly, “Yeah, you really know who to ask for help immediately…”

“Hahahaha, if it weren’t for the fact that system secrets can’t be leaked, I’d have tossed you aside long ago. After all, whatever you do, anyone can do better…” Sir System gloated.

“Damn it, I knew you had a rebellious heart. You really completely exposed yourself. However, you still forgot something. On this stage, I’m the main character, and you’re just the supporting role.” Fang Ning gritted out.

“Hmph, I have more screen-time than you. I’m the main character.” The System refused to budge.

“You’re just a little brother… But it seems that I do have to add some screen-time for myself.” Fang Ning mused.

Saying this, Fang Ning got up from the bed.

“Give me the body.” He said firmly.

“What’re you planning to do?”

“Business. We should start on the Magical Energy Bank. You know that people are always prejudiced towards first impressions. The older the bank, the more credibility it has. Look at how farsighted I am to let you keep Vigilante A’s good reputation…”

System Notification: [The System has suspended seizing.]

“If you want the body then just say so. Why’re you saying so much nonsense?” Sir System prattled.

“Ei… you wait and see.” Fang Ning, who had been interrupted, complained bitterly.

…

In the villa living room.

Butler Zheng sat opposite Vigilante A.

“Old Zheng, it seems like the number of people cultivating the Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique is increasing day by day. I think it’s time to open up a magical energy deposit point so they can temporarily store the magical energy they can’t hold, and trade with others to supplement their household expenses.” Fang Ning said solemnly.

Zheng Dao’s head was a little lost. He was already busy will a lot of other things, so if he were to take yet another job, he really would not be able to attend to the other things at the same time.

Thus, he revealed an expression of difficulty and did not comment.

“Why, what difficulties do you have?” Fang Ning expressed concern.

“Uh, I’d like the Venerable One to know that this magical energy deposit point would predictably end up as large as the World Bank’s business in the future. I’m not refusing, but I’m worried about being overwhelmed and delaying the Venerable One’s great cause.” He said earnestly.

“Hm, you’re right.” Fang Ning failed to shrug off the responsibility. He was not the kind of boss who only asked for the results and dismissed the process.

There was only one outcome for a boss like that, and that was to die until he could not die anymore.

A boss who did not even bother to ask about the process would look like a bad*ass, but in fact, he would be easily deceived by his subordinates. Finally, there were also a lot of loopholes. If something big happened, the boss would be the one sentenced to jail…

“In my opinion, it’ll be necessary to find a reliable person who’s proficient in modern banking to handle this matter.” Zheng Dao advised.

“Hm, I understand. Then, you can go first.”

“Yes, I’ll excuse myself now.” Zheng Dao left the living room and busied himself with his duties.

Fang Ning looked at his retreating back and could not help but frown, “Old Zheng really is quite busy. He coordinates internally and externally, communicates with the various forces, and is even responsible for selling Sir System’s special offerings… The Magical Energy Bank’s matter can’t be handed over to him. After all, he can’t multi-thread like the System can.”

“Then who do you want to hand it over to? There are only a few followers, but quite a few allies. There are more than 300 such people with hundreds of Morality Bar. Half of them are supported by the numerous allies.” Sir System made things difficult for Fang Ning.

“Hmph, if there are so many allies, why don’t you find a suitable one for me right now?” Fang Ning said disdainfully.

“Uh, allies still aren’t as good as followers. They’d still go neutral in a life or death crisis… After all, they didn’t swear allegiance. The Magical Energy Bank is too important, we probably can’t hand it over to an ally…” The System said, embarrassed.

“Good that you know.” Fang Ning struck back at Sir System and said with satisfaction.
