Whether it was the armor sponsored by Howling Guard or Boer Pharmaceuticals, it had long been shattered into rubbish. Later, because the demand in this area was not particularly important, Li Ang never customized new armor.
Now that he secretly learned the constellation guardianship from Xingji, Li Ang no longer needs these armors, so how can he use the Origin Stone skills?
"It's such a simple trap..."
After figuring out the key to everything, Ferdinand sighed deeply.
It turned out that they had expected it, and even set up a special game to wait for them to fall into the trap... What made Ferdinand the most nervous was that these idiots were really fooled, and no one saw through it. This 'I play myself trick'... maybe that weirdo Trevor saw through it, but he obviously had no intention of sharing this secret with anyone else.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether I am qualified to talk to you."
"Of course... no problem, Chairman Kennedy."
Ferdinand felt a little headache. Why was he caught by the chairman himself?I should have endured it if I had known...
Being caught by the chairman and being caught by the security captain are two completely different things. The former is more difficult than the latter. He is already prepared to bleed heavily for it.
However, Leon's next words made Ferdinand's heart sink.
"I'm not short of money. I won't ask you to compensate me for any amount of money. Besides, you didn't have time to destroy anything."
"I just want you to answer a few questions for me."
Instead of asking for money, I plan to use this opportunity to raise a few questions. Isn't this more troublesome?
"...You can ask, but if your question involves Rhine life secrets, I have the right to refuse to answer."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of spying on your company's trade secrets." Li Ang waved his hand, "The main businesses are different, so what if you tell me any secrets? I just have a few things that I am more interested in."
"For example...the general manager of your company, Kristen Wright, how much do you know about her?"
"I heard that she seems to be studying... the starry sky?"
Leon's question seemed to bring back Ferdinand's bad memories. He could clearly see that Ferdinand's face turned dark just a moment ago.
"Okay, if you just want to know this, I can tell you."
After a moment of silence, Ferdinand gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you everything about that crazy woman Kristen."
Chapter 90 Kristen Wright
Kristen Wright is a name that Ferdinand loves and hates.
Ferdinand was not stupid. A fool could not graduate from a top university in Colombia and become the director of the Rheinland Life Energy Department.
He had already understood something from Li Ang's attitude just now, and his brain, which had been beaten into a daze, started to work quickly.
After deciding to fight against Kristen and compete with him for control of Rhine's life, Ferdinand realized a problem——
Compared to the power Kristen had, he seemed a bit too weak.
Ferdinand was referring to those who truly obeyed him and were on the same side as him.
Do those employees in the energy department count?Of course not, they just take the salary paid by Ferdinand and do what they should do. In essence, it is just an employment relationship. It does not mean that they share the same philosophy and stand on the same front.
For them, Rheinland Life is just a company. If they lose this job, they may feel very regretful and regretful, but other than that, they will not have any extra thoughts.
But for Ferdinand, Rhine life had extraordinary significance.
His student can barely count, but Elena is still too young. Even if Ferdinand is consciously training her, she still lacks experience and will not be able to perform in this confrontation with Kristen. It won't do much, and may even become Ferdinand's weakness.
Ferdinand did not hesitate to speculate on Kristen with the worst malice. After all, even the Rhine life she built could be treated in this way. What else can't that crazy woman do?
He has known Kristen for ten years, but at this moment Ferdinand suddenly realized that his understanding of Kristen had always been superficial, and he had never understood what that woman was thinking.
However, after seeing Trevor's power, Ferdinand has also understood that he seems to be unable to defeat Kristen, whether within or outside the rules.
Ferdinand's only advantage seems to be that he has the economic power of Rheinland Life. Even Justin, the director of the Business Department, sometimes needs to watch his face.
But this is meaningless. Ferdinand can't stab the main artery of Rhine life by himself, can he?
Ferdinand wanted to save Rhine's life, which was about to fall into the abyss, from the hands of that woman, Kristen, rather than destroy the product of his ten years of hard work.
Therefore, if he wants to fight against Kristen, Ferdinand needs helpers, some helpers who can at least not hold him back.
He has many domestic partners in Colombia, but only a few are capable of helping, such as the Colombian Ministry of National Defense.
The Ministry of National Defense's hard power is sufficient, but those desires are really stinking. It is impossible and will never be possible for Ferdinand to hand over his hard work to those greedy hyenas.
After excluding those forces in the country, Ferdinand naturally thought of outside Colombia, and his eyes when he looked at Leon became dark and deep.
Although he didn't know the purpose of this hurricane knight, Ferdinand did feel that he had a trace of hostility towards Kristen, and he could always cause some trouble for that woman.
Moreover, he now does have a handle in Li Ang's hands.
Leon didn't know what kind of complex psychological activities Ferdinand had gone through in just a few seconds. He only knew that the other party had compromised, and at least he could use this opportunity to pry out some useful information from Ferdinand. .
The turmoil in the Great Knight Leader has come to an end, and only the final finishing work is left. Li Ang has already set his sights on the future, on the emerging country located on the west side of the Terra continent.
No matter what, my subsequent trip to Colombia will be indispensable without dealing with Rhine Life.
"Sit down, we have a lot of time to communicate slowly before the press conference ends." Li Ang pointed to the sofa beside him and said to Ferdinand.
Unlike other people who wanted to cause trouble for Li Ang, this time it was Li Ang who took the initiative to cause trouble for Ferdinand. Since the other party had compromised, Li Ang didn't need to be as aggressive as before.
Ferdinand was not polite. He tore off a few pieces of power armor that were still hanging on his body, and collapsed on the sofa as soon as he went limp.
He was a civilian through and through. He put an unproven power armor prototype on his body and started fighting with others. He was really mad at Kristen and her lackeys.
Now that I have settled down for a moment, all the fatigue comes back to me.
"Then I won't disturb you."
The Shining is not interested in Rhine's life, and she is ready to leave.
Whether it was the battle between Ferdinand and Trevor or the battle between her and Monique just now, they all caused a lot of commotion. Now the hospital is in chaos, and it is precisely she, the director, who needs to show up to take charge of the overall situation. when.
Before leaving, Shining pointed to Monique and Sona who were tied up and asked, "Do you need me to take these two people away?"
"Just put it here." Li Ang replied casually, "I'd be worried about them running away if I put it somewhere else. I'd be more at ease watching them in person."
As for his conversation with Ferdinand?There's nothing to worry about, it's not like they're talking about anything shameful.
After Ferdinand rested for a while and looked better, they resumed their previous conversation.
"What do you want to know about Kristen?" Ferdinand asked.
"She seems to be conducting research on the stars? What do you know about her purpose and research progress?"
Hearing this vague question, Ferdinand couldn't help but frown.
"This issue is quite complicated, and we even have to start with Kristen's origin...Have you ever heard of the Wrights?"
Li Ang shook his head naturally.
His understanding of the world is at a very subtle level. He knows a lot of secrets and has no problem with common sense of life, except that there is a large blank in the middle.
Although the Wright couple seemed quite famous, where did Li Ang hear about the two Colombians?
After hearing Leon's answer, Ferdinand was silent for a moment before slowly telling about the Wrights.
Kristen Wright, this is Kristen's full name. She was born in a very famous academic family in Colombia, but this 'famous' does not mean a good thing.
The Wrights were so notorious that there was a time when newspapers were full of criticism and slander against the couple. The two of them alone supported at least half of Colombia's journalism industry.
The couple are experts in the field of aircraft and have invented very mature manned aircraft decades ago.
Such inventions will make them famous throughout Colombia and even Terra, and that is exactly what happened. After the successful test flight, the couple instantly became two rising stars in the Colombian scientific community.
"But they were not satisfied with keeping the aircraft at an altitude of a few hundred meters," Ferdinand said. "They turned their attention to the dark starry sky above everyone's heads."
Of course, the couple's bold idea attracted countless criticisms. Some of them just couldn't stand their arrogance, and some were jealous of their talents. But the last group of people... were astrologers. .
The astrologers are a very interesting group. Their origins are unknown and they flourished in the Gallic Empire. Eventually, as Victoria became increasingly powerful, they spread to the entire continent of Terra. Traces of these guys can even be seen in the land of Great Flame.
Their strength is not strong, but by relying on deception and some special Origin Stone skills, they have obtained wealth and power that are completely inconsistent with their status, and have established an organization called the 'Astrology Association'.
Colombia was once the pioneer territory of Victoria, and the Astrology Association has been deeply rooted in this land since its birth. Although Colombia's independence has affected their development, the Astrology Association still had a strong power decades ago.
Under this premise, the Wrights' research attracted the attention of the Astrological Association.
"For them, the Wrights are heretics without exception. Are they actually trying to get their hands on the sacred starry sky?"
Although it sounds ridiculous, the Astrology Association had a certain say in the matter at the beginning, and their accusations and slanders overwhelmed the Wrights like a violent storm.
But the Wrights did not back down. They even withstood the pressure from all levels of society and received research funds from the Colombian government. The Colombian government was very optimistic about the Wrights' research because it provided them with help.
This is a good thing, even in just a few years, the couple's deeds will be able to achieve something undiscussed under the propaganda of the Colombian government——
But the premise of everything is that the Wrights' experiment can succeed.
"Unfortunately, the Wrights failed in the end. In order to prove their research, they personally flew on the aircraft they designed. In the end, it crashed due to an accident, and both of them were dead."
Speaking, Ferdinand shrugged, "It sounds ironic, right? When a person fails completely, even their previous breathing was wrong."
During that time, there was a carnival in Colombia. The arrogant Wrights finally got the punishment they deserved. Some fanatics even held large sacrifices at the crash site of the aircraft.
The Astrology Association was very satisfied. No one could interfere with them now, and the Colombian government was not going to stand up for the two dead losers. The reputation of the Wrights had a 180-degree reversal in a very short period of time. Some people who supported them also turned around and joined the ranks of ridicule, thinking that this was the fate of those who overestimated their capabilities.
No one came to stop them, because the Wrights proved them wrong with their deaths, and no one jumped out to refute them, because everyone was already dead, with not even a drop of ashes left.
"At that time...how old was Kristen? Anyway, she was under 10 years old. You should be able to imagine what happened to her at that time. I think...if it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to bear it."
Ferdinand's words revealed a hint of admiration for Kristen.
No matter what he thinks now, in the past ten years, at least for a while, Ferdinand truly believed that Kristen could lead Rhine Life and the entire Colombia to glory.
But in the end, Ferdinand was disappointed, and Kristen only had herself in her eyes.
More than ten years have passed, and people have long forgotten the two idiots who wanted to challenge the sky, and they also forgot that they left a girl behind.
The girl graduated from Tremont University with excellent results, gathered several colleagues who were dissatisfied with the current status of the Colombian scientific community, and established a company called Rhine Life with the funding of several venture capital institutions with official backgrounds. The company, Ferdinand was one of the first few founders, that was already ten years ago.
"The research of the General Component Section has always been unclear. We didn't pay much attention to it at first. After all, it was just a group of people with completely different research directions who got together to live together. We have no qualifications to interfere with other people's research."
"But from now on...Kristen has never forgotten her parents' research."
Even...even the establishment of Rhine Life was probably planned by Kristen. For this moment, she did not hesitate to use Rhine Life as a stepping stone so that she could get closer to that part of the world. The sky of longing.
"What projects does she have? What's the progress?" Li Ang asked again.
Because he holds the financial power of Rheinland Life and maintains a good relationship with the military, Ferdinand, unlike people in other departments, knows nothing about the research of the General Components Department.
After thinking for a moment, Ferdinand replied, "Gravity, the General Components Department mainly studies technologies related to artificial gravity. Now it is possible to artificially simulate gravity in a specific experimental environment."
"Besides...there should be no other large-scale projects."
"Didn't she have people collecting star fragments?"
"Collecting meteorites is just Kristen's personal hobby and has nothing to do with her research." Ferdinand replied without thinking.
Li Ang nodded thoughtfully.
Gravity...artificial gravity...Doesn't that Kristen want to build a spaceship?
Gravity technology can not only help people adapt to the environment in space, it is also one of the necessary technologies to move into space. Isn't this span a bit too big?Terra can't even get a decent aircraft now. As the daughter of two aircraft experts, Kristen shouldn't be unaware of this problem.
And most importantly... doesn't Kristen know about the Star Pod?
Although Ferdinand's narration allowed Laon to understand a little bit about Kristen, it did not substantially help him. As expected, Ferdinand's understanding of her was quite limited.
After thinking for a while, Li Ang asked again,
"What about Trevor Friston? What do you know about him?"
Chapter 91 They found you
"He said he was an employee of the General Component Division, but I have never seen him. I think he is probably from the Melander Foundation."
Ferdinand replied without thinking, "In the whole of Colombia, only the Melander Foundation can come up with such technology."
Even their Rheinland Life Engineering Department and large companies such as Raytheon Industries are still lagging behind in terms of hard power compared with those institutions directly under Melander.
"Moreover, I once saw someone who was covered in machinery like him. That person was an agent of the Melander Foundation."
This is the real reason why Ferdinand dares to make such a conclusion.
It wasn't until the employee in charge of the Components Section was torn into pieces in front of his eyes that Ferdinand finally realized where the disharmony he had felt before came from.
His previous guess was actually correct... just like that bastard Tin Man, this guy is actually a robot.
However, Trevor is obviously more advanced than the Tin Man.
The tin man didn't make any disguise, and his appearance was that of a machine with very distinctive features. And that Trevor... he even used artificial skin. If he wasn't a particularly keen person in this area, he probably wouldn't have discovered Trevor at all. The abnormality in Fu's body is just that he is a guy with a relatively cold personality.
