War Lord

Chapter 124: Bloody Scepter

Remte.

Early in the morning, Theon came to the office of the vice chairman of the union. He sat on his own large leather chair, and soon the assistant brought him a cup of coffee. In the old days, drinking a cup of coffee in the morning was not necessarily extravagant. But in turbulent times, being able to drink such a bosom every morning, but from another side tells Theon's financial resources.

In fact, although he is the vice chairman of the trade union, at least 70% of the power of Remute falls in Theon's pocket.

He is still young, less than 40, which is the golden stage of a man's life. Although in terms of the average life expectancy shortened in the new era, Theon has already moved into old age. But his financial resources are enough for Theon to pay for each expensive genetic medicine that costs more than one million yuan. Although these potions could not make Theon a superpower, they could greatly extend Theon's lifespan.

There are always three such medicines in Theon's private safe. In the next period of time, Theon will inject one medicine every ten years. These three medicines are enough to make Theon live to be 80 years old or even longer.

Now that he has a longer life than ordinary people, what Theon wants is power. As Master said before, the ambitious Theon was never reconciled to Remute siding on the edge of the coastline. In Xi Guo’s kingdom blueprint, this emerging city should be located at the pinnacle of this continent like the Evernight City.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this goal. It requires a step-by-step plan and a vision to invest.

Remte’s biggest problem now is funding, although under Theon’s vigorous development, the city has grown from a small human settlement in the past to a medium-scale underground base. But Theon's goal is still far away. To become a city of the same height as Evernight City, Remte still has a long way to go.

First of all, it needs a large amount of funds to allow the city to expand and develop. Where does the money come from? If Remute's own clean water output and the arms sold by the small-scale arsenal are used to achieve the first phase of the start-up capital, Remute will have to operate for at least 20 years without making any mistakes. This is too long for Theon, so he has only another way.

That is to attract other companies or nobles to invest. However, Remut is still an obscure base at the moment, let alone a fortress city like Phoenix, even Titan City is much more famous than it. To attract the attention of investors, Remte must do something.

It doesn't matter whether the gene research is one step faster, or the absolute force that crosses the continent. Whatever it is, Theon must show the extraordinary side of Remute. However, due to various conditions, Theon was unable to do a thing that could attract investment.

Of course, the university area that has been cleared out recently can be said to be the cornerstone of Remut's future expansion. But Theon's actions ended here, and the financial budget did not allow him to immediately invest in the development of the university town.

However, recently the opportunity has come.

The opportunity came from the mercenary who had worked to clear the college town not long ago, and the soldier named Zero, Theon, recognized him as an individual when he first saw him. And now it proves even more so. After leaving Remte, this soldier first confronted Sauron, the noble young master from Parkland, and snatched his lover back from Sauron's hands.

Although it was only a corpse that was recovered in the end, this was enough to make Theon look at him with admiration.

Then, Ling stayed in Fury Reef City for two months. During the period, Theon ordered Pella's Cobra to observe him secretly, and all the "exercises" zero on the ruins of the wilderness were fed back to Remte through signal encryption. In Theon's personal computer, there are still zero related files. From these files, Theon saw a great potential superpower.

After leaving Fury Reef City, Theon also continued to pay attention to Zero's dynamics. The Wolf Thief incident in Titan City, the King Slaying Operation in Phoenix... all these kinds of information fell into Theon's hands through unknown channels. The most pleasant surprise for Theon was the Parkland killer incident. It turns out that Zero still saved his life after being ambushed by Parkland's killer, and had already entered Death Hill yesterday.

All the information about Zero ceased after he entered Death Mountain. To obtain relevant information about him again, he had to wait for Zero to get out of the forbidden area of ​​life. But in any case, the message that Zero did not die and continued northbound was like a slap in the face of the Parkland chaebol, which also made Theon make an important decision.

He will use secret assistance to help Zero successfully reach the blue-collar mountains of the Parkland chaebol. If Zero succeeds in avenging Parkland, Theon will appear as his agent and sell Remte behind him.

All this, just as Master guessed. What Master doesn't know is that ~lightnovelpub.net~ Theon has the position of an agent who competes with him for zero.

To do all of this, Remut will naturally need to invest in a budget. So after learning that Zero is not dead and making up his mind, Theon has already submitted an application in accordance with the procedures.

But when he turned on the computer now and clicked on an unread email, the bright red word "dismissed" on it looked so dazzling. And below it, a person's name suddenly appeared in Theon's eyes.

Bruce!

This is the chairman of the union, Theon's boss, an old man in his sixties. Bruce has always been rigorous, and many of his ideas are incompatible with Theon's radical policies, so he often diverges from Theon on major issues. It's just that Theon, who has the support of most union representatives behind him, often wins these disputes.

However, such a major event as budget expenditure must always be signed and approved by the chairman of the trade union, otherwise a representative meeting must be convened. After passing a series of cumbersome agendas and voting, Theon was able to use the budget.

If it's normal, Theon doesn't matter. But now, he doesn't have time to play the tortoise and the hare with the old man Bruce. This budget must be put into use immediately before Zero crosses Death Ridge. It involves the operation of intelligence, materials, personnel, and so on. These operations require a lot of preparation time. Bruce doesn't matter, but Theon doesn't have this time.

Having missed this best opportunity, Remte will really rise, and I don't know how many years it will take.

So he called Pella over.

The beautiful snake was still dressed up in a tights, Pella straightened her body, and leaned down behind Theon and asked softly, "Boss, what do you want?"

Theon said calmly: "Old Bruce has lived long enough. He is dizzy and his judgment is not as good as before. If such a person died in his own house, what would everyone think?"
