Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

She thought she had found a shortcut that could easily control mineral sickness... It turned out not to be that easy, so she should just accept Rhode Island's treatment honestly...

Although Rhode Island's treatment is cumbersome, the effect is really obvious, otherwise Rhine Life would not cooperate with Rhode Island.

The only thing that makes Elena feel a little troublesome is that she still has to go to Rhode Island or the Rhode Island office for treatment regularly, which wastes a lot of time.

Sure enough, nothing is so easy in this world...otherwise, mineral sickness wouldn't be a discoloration disease that everyone talks about.

Elena had to go back to the Energy Department to report to Ferdinand, so she left alone.

Before leaving, Leon also specifically told Elena not to tell Ferdinand anything related to them.

It must be some kind of business competition... After all, he is also the chairman of a large company.

Although Elena was a little confused, she nodded and agreed.

After Elena left, Leon chose a hotel closer to the Rhine Life headquarters and settled Adele and Rosemary there first.

After Li Ang disguised himself for a while, under the guidance of Xingji, he came to the Ubika family's mansion and met Xingji's father, the current president of the Astrology Association.

Chapter 8 Horhaiya

Li Ang could tell at a glance that the relationship between Xingji and her parents was not harmonious.

Because when he met his biological daughter who had been separated for nearly a year, the middle-aged Li Boli, who was dressed quite retro, did not have any emotional fluctuations. He just hummed indifferently and asked Xingji to return to his room.

The Ubika family's mansion is not small, but it looks very deserted. Except for the Xingji family of three, the other people living in the mansion don't look like servants.

Looking at Mr. Ubica, who was dressed like a noble from Gaul 200 years ago, Li Ang roughly understood what kind of person this guy was.

Old-fashioned, vain, arrogant, and also heavily in debt.

His situation is probably somewhat similar to that of Maena. He also has a large mansion that needs to be taken care of and maintained. Maena has a serious job at least, and Mr. Ubika...except for being the president of the Astrology Association Apart from his status, there is obviously no other source of income.

Hmm... He didn't have the life of a noble, but he got the disease of a noble. He didn't learn the good things, but he learned a lot about the stinky diseases of the Gallic nobles.

Just like those who have no ability but put all their hopes in their children, it is not surprising that Elena would fall out with them.

Miss Astecia is really in trouble...

Sighing slightly in his heart, Li Ang took a step forward, and before Mr. Ubica spoke, he sent him a wave of murderous intent, interrupting his attempt to close the door.

"Mr. Ubika, please forgive me for coming here rashly. I am here to discuss a business deal with you on behalf of the Rose Newspaper Group."

With that said, Li Ang handed over a prepared business card.

"Um... oh."

Mr. Ubika, whose mind was blank, subconsciously took the business card.

"......Business?"

After coming back to his senses, Mr. Ubika realized what Li Ang had just said.

He frowned subconsciously, but after seeing the business card in his hand clearly, the frown turned into a rather awkward smile.

It can be seen that in his heart he actually looks down on "lower people" like Li Ang, but for the sake of money, he has to "condescend" to communicate with them. Li Ang's specially customized business card obviously bluffed Wu. Mr. Bika.

Long before setting off, Li Ang had already prepared several plans in advance.

Now that Xingji has agreed to his proposal, Li Ang activated his first false identity.

Executive Director of Rose Newspapers, Andrew Nelson.

Well... although it was a false identity, Li Ang also used Rose Newspaper's branch in Colombia to cover up this identity.

No matter who investigates, they will find that Rose Newspaper has indeed landed such a leader, but no one has seen the chairman with their own eyes.

If you investigate further, you will find that a major earthquake occurred in Casimir's news media industry not long ago. The huge Rose Newspaper Union was split into several new companies, and the entire industry returned to the coexistence of all heroes. Warring States Period.

The previous experience of being backstabbed by Rose Newspaper Alliance still made Li Ang a little bit unhappy. Later, he simply proposed to split the company at the board meeting. Unexpectedly, all the shareholders hit it off in the end.

After the death of Ross and his son, many people took the opportunity to invest in Rose Newspaper. They all wanted to use this platform to do something, but there were also many shareholders who were hostile to each other on the board of directors. They were all tied up in doing anything. Splitting the company would be more in their interests.

The business in Colombia was specially won by Li Ang.

I have to say that Ross did a pretty good job here. Even Mr. Ubika has heard of the name Rose Newspaper.

"Mr. Nelson, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, if you have time next time, we can find a place to talk in detail."

"......no problem."

Mr. Ubika agreed quite simply.

So, Li Ang made a reservation at a local high-end restaurant as planned...well, a retro Gallic-style restaurant.

No matter how much he denies it, Mr. Ubica, who wants to pretend to be a Gallic noble, grew up in Colombia, and some Colombian habits have already been engraved in his subconscious.

Even Leon knows that the Gallic nobles will not discuss business at the dinner table. For them, dinner is just a social activity. However, Colombians like to do this, which has a lot to do with Colombia's history. relation.

To insiders, Mr. Ubika's behavior appeared to be quite comical.

However, Mr. Ubika himself did not think so. He expressed very implicitly that he liked the style of this restaurant very much and it made him feel like he had returned to his hometown.

Li Ang?Li Ang could only show an awkward but polite smile.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Ang said to Mr. Ubika, "To be honest, I am here for the 'Astrology Association' this time."

Mr. Ubika said slowly while arranging the tableware, "I guess that's the case... Apart from the old house left by the family, I only have this little money left."

"But... what I don't quite understand is why you people who work in journalism would like this small association?"

No matter how you think about it, the Astrology Association and the news media are two industries that cannot be compared with each other.

Li Ang was also prepared for this.

He pretended to be hesitant, and after a moment of hesitation, he explained, "Actually, there is nothing to hide."

"I think you should also know how fierce the competition in our industry is. Without some unique competitiveness, there is no way to get ahead."

The advantage of Rose Newspaper Union is that it has exclusive information channels about the Casimir Knights Competition. However, no matter how exciting the Knights Competition is, most Colombians will not be able to go to Casimir to watch the Knights Competition, and the game Videos also have a relatively limited audience in Colombia, and Rose Newspaper’s business in Colombia is stuck in an awkward position—

It is quite famous among a specific audience, but the general public has no idea what it is. Although it is not starved to death, there is not much room for improvement.

Mr. Ubica, who claims to be a descendant of the Gallic aristocracy, naturally admires the 'aristocratic sport' of knightly competition, and can be regarded as their old customer.

In fact, before Rose's accident, they were already planning how to expand their business in Colombia. Li Ang just picked up a ready-made plan.

"The result of our board meeting was to use astrology as a breakthrough."

"Astrology?"

"We believe that astrology in the past has not kept up with the times, but the concept of astrology itself can be packaged and promoted as a popular element."

Just like Li Ang's horoscopes in his previous life, Tarot cards, etc., they were all hyped at the beginning.

There happens to be such an astrology association in Colombia. Mastering this association means that you have the right to interpret this series of concepts. In theory, this solution is very feasible.

After completing Li Ang's goal by the way, it was not a loss in the end.

"The more specific plan is our company's commercial secret. Please forgive me for the inconvenience of disclosing it."

"Ok?"

Although Mr. Ubika felt a little unhappy because the sacred concept of 'astrology' had been tarnished, he still tolerated it after thinking about the large amount of money he owed the bank in order to maintain a decent life.

He will soon be unable to repay the interest on the bank loan. If he doesn't find a way to get some money, his family's old house may even be taken away by the bank to pay off the debt.

"You mean... you want to buy out the ownership of the Astrology Association?"

"Yes."

Mr. Ubika's expression was a little uncertain. After a while, he slowly said, "How much can you offer?"

Later, Li Ang gave him a price he couldn't refuse.

Mr. Ubika's heart moved slightly. Just as he was about to make a counteroffer, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Li Ang.

"Mr. Ubika, this is our bottom line."

Of course, this is also Mr. Ubika's bottom line. Miss Xingji has already disclosed these details to Li Ang.

After meeting Mr. Ubika with his own eyes, it was not difficult for Li Ang to understand why Xingji hated her father so much.

After a stalemate for some time, Mr. Ubika finally gave in.

It was impossible not to compromise. For him, this was a pie-in-the-sky blessing. The price offered by the other party was not only enough to pay off the bank's debt, but also allowed him to maintain a decent life as a Gallic noble for a long time. Is there any such good thing besides this?

So, Li Ang took out the agreement that he had already prepared.

However, while waiting for Mr. Ubika’s signature, an accident happened.

Mr. Ubika's cell phone vibrated. It must have been a text message received. At first, Li Ang didn't pay attention.

However, after reading that text message, Mr. Ubika's attitude changed 180 degrees.

He threw the half-signed agreement aside and said arrogantly to Li Ang, "I think you have underestimated the value of the Astrology Association. We need to talk again."

"Mr. Ubika, what do you mean?" Leon couldn't help but frowned, "I have said before that this is the highest price our board of directors can accept."

Because of the other party's sudden change of heart, Li Ang's tone couldn't help but become less friendly, "According to what we learned, Mr. Ubica, you seem to owe the bank a large amount of money, right? Do you want to think about it again?" How should I repay the money?”

"There's no need for you to worry."

Mr. Ubika gave Li Ang a contemptuous look, which made Li Ang's brows jump.

"I'm really lucky. A member of our association contacted me just now. She is also interested in the Astrology Association."

"But... for your sake of coming first, if you can pay this price, I won't be able to consider cooperating with you."

Subsequently, Mr. Ubika directly doubled Leon’s previous offer several times.

Li Ang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, "Don't we need to play such little tricks anymore? Mr. Ubika, apart from industries with special needs like ours, who else would be interested in such a shabby association? In short, , the quotation just now is the limit, it can’t be higher.”

Li Ang's money did not come from the strong wind. If he really bought the Astrology Association according to the other party's quotation, it would be equivalent to simply putting several times the money into it. The risks and benefits are completely out of proportion.

In addition, Li Ang didn't have a good impression of him, so it was naturally impossible to let such a person take advantage of him.

"She is already on her way. If you don't believe it, just wait a moment." Mr. Ubika looked confident, not worried about Li Ang leaving at all.

This makes Li Ang a little hesitant. Is what this company said true?

Besides him, there is someone else who is eyeing this shabby Astrology Association?How could such a coincidence come from?

Li Ang deliberately spared such a large circle because of the relationship between Kristen and the Astrology Association, plus the relationship with Xingji. What did that person do for?

Said to be a member of the association...interested in the Astrology Association?Why don't you come earlier or later?But you have to choose this time?

With this in mind, Li Ang was not in a hurry to leave. He wanted to see who was coming later.

At this time, the food he had ordered had already been served, but Leon had no intention of trying it. Due to the reserve of the 'Gaul noble', Mr. Ubica could only watch helplessly until those All the dishes have gone cold.

Before Li Ang's patience was exhausted, the talent Mr. Ubika mentioned finally arrived too late.

"Miss Huerhaiya, you are finally here."

See the man who pushed in the door...Li Boli?Still a woman from Fidia, Mr. Ubika stood up immediately and greeted him with great enthusiasm, "Let me introduce to you, this is the executive director of Rose Newspaper Group, Mr. Andrew Nelson, who is the one they want to acquire Star. Ownership of the Association.”

He looked like a flattering pug sticking out his tongue, but the woman of unknown race ignored her at all.

The woman had Liboli's unique ear feathers on her head and a long tail belonging to the Fedia clan on her back. She looked completely different from the disguised features on Li Ang's body.

"Oh, so you are my competitor?"

"...the blood of the people of the gods?"

Looking at this mature... even somewhat coquettish woman in front of him, Li Ang frowned deeply.

"Yes, I am 'Feathered Serpent' Horhaya."

The woman licked her lips and said meaningfully, "Let's talk about the acquisition of the Astrology Association next."

"Mr. Andrew Nelson."

Chapter 9 Alternatives

People of God are a concept rarely heard in Terra today.

They were born with extremely powerful power, even fragments of power. Before the beginning of the first year of the Terra Calendar, most areas of the world were ruled by the gods.

It was not until the 31st year of the Terra Calendar that the Hippogriff Empire ruled by the gods was overthrown by the Ursus nation, and the gods began to retire from the stage of history one after another. More than 20 years ago, Victoria announced that Drac's bloodline was extinct, and the last one was The political power held by the divine people also disappeared.

The root cause is that the power of the people of the gods comes from their own blood, but it is more difficult for the people of the gods to reproduce. In addition, the blood itself will continue to deteriorate, and the power controlled by the people of the gods has gradually degraded to less than The average person is slightly stronger.
