Chapter 717 715 The Triangle Possesses Stability_1

Chapter 717: Chapter 715: The Triangle Possesses Stability_1 Chapter 717: Chapter 715: The Triangle Possesses Stability_1 Carlos’s suddenly sharp tone could not be denied its imposing presence.

And his interruption of Fu Qian, along with his tone and demeanor, all clearly indicated one thing—he was tired of playing charades here and wanted a straight talk.

Only, the person he chose to confront was not the cunning and vicious Fu Qian, but Su Gao, who had been silent at his side, embodying the complete image of an ignorant young girl.

“Lady Violetta, I apologize for my people’s lack of attention to you earlier.”

Not even bothering to cast another glance at Fu Qian, Carlos stared at Su Gao, and with Public Relations Xiao Ying and her colleagues having never met Su Gao, he directly blurted out her name.

Although his words were quite polite, it was clearly a show of force, a reminder of Yasui Corp’s control over Ye Island.

“Dr. Carlos, it is rather impolite to disturb my guest,”

the usually unflappable Fu Qian replied, his face suddenly turning cold, glancing at Su Gao instinctively, his tone becoming severe.

“Don’t forget one thing… This is Ye Island.”

Carlos glanced at Fu Qian, his voice filled with warning.

“Regardless of the trouble you may cause Yasui, please believe this, should Yasui find it necessary, no force could help you leave here alive.”

“Hello, Mr. Carlos.”

In the midst of the deathly still air, Su Gao finally spoke.

Her tone had also changed from its previous liveliness to something cooler and more composed.

“You seem a bit nervous.”

“Darcy and I actually didn’t mean to disturb too many people by coming here.”

Well done!

Witnessing this scene, Fu Qian, though feigning worry, inwardly applauded Su Gao.

Hiding his intentions, he had told Su Gao not to restrain her aura too much and to give Carlos a small shock of a demigod’s presence.

This opportunity to play Yasui’s competitor off them was too good not to exploit!

Last time, during the mission with the beauties, Fu Qian had managed to prosper by swinging between the Night Watchman and Yasui Corp, maintaining a delicate balance.

But that balance was predicated on the fact that he had been dealing with essentially insignificant people.

Not only were they of a lower rank, but they also couldn’t mobilize many resources, which was precisely what had afforded him the leeway to operate.

However, the purpose of his current trip, besides solving the problem, was to engage with the King of Ye Island.

Replicating the same delicate balance was unrealistic.

In fact, had the incident not occurred at sea, Fu Qian’s approach would likely have been more subtle.

But at this moment, Fu Qian decisively chose to establish a new balance between the Night Watchman, Yasui Corp, and its competitor.

After all, it’s a well-known fact that a triangle is the most stable shape.

The specific method was simple: first, make a high-profile entrance, catch the fish, then let Su Gao reveal her strength to a certain extent in front of a Fourth Phase peak participant like Carlos.

Then, with a guided expression and tone, ensure that Carlos would firmly set off on a wrong track.

And Su Gao, knowing him well, not only picked up on his overly dramatized reactions but also quickly grasped the attitude of a real person in charge.

If he remembered correctly, she even mimicked the role played by the PR Xiao Ying.

The final outcome was Carlos appearing nearly completely convinced that Fu Qian was no Child of Destiny but rather backed by some organization.

Unwittingly, Yasui Corp had stepped into a cunning trap.

…

“It is evident you have kept a low profile indeed,”

Su Gao no longer feigned ignorance, and it was hard to tell what Carlos was feeling.

“Who would have thought, a lamb stepping into a trap would turn out to be a being second only to a demigod! This twist of fate can’t really be blamed on Asao.”

With a sneer, Carlos did not confirm nor deny Su Gao’s overly nervous review.

However, it was clear he did not expect Su Gao to answer his questions forthrightly.

“If I hadn’t decided to come and see for myself on the spur of the moment, I might have neglected you for a while longer.”

“From the tone just now, are Lady Violetta and this cannibal an old acquaintance?”

The next moment, he pointed at Fu Qian.

Old acquaintances?

Hearing this question, Su Gao turned his head to take a close look at Fu Qian, his tone laden with meaning.

“Yes.”

“Good, may I then ask, if you didn’t intend to disturb too many people, what is the purpose of your discreet return this time?”

Carlos asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Just searching for an answer to a certain question.”

Su Gao didn’t hesitate to follow the previously demonstrated performance strategy, using an ambiguous tone to provoke endless speculation.

…

Carlos clearly hadn’t expected Su Gao to actually answer, and he appeared to be suspicious and uncertain. For a time, he didn’t feel it appropriate to ask further.

“What a pity!”

After thinking it over for a while, he finally switched topics and sighed.

“I originally thought that the Miracle Elixir had truly performed a miracle… Turned out to be just a joy in vain.”

“Mr. Darcy, what do you think about the effects of Creeping-7?”

The next moment, he asked Fu Qian.

“No effect whatsoever. To be honest, I am quite skeptical. Are you really conducting research with this cocktail-style mixture?”

Fu Qian also dropped any pretense and unleashed his full capacity for mockery.

“Not even a deluge of Kagetsu Kanas could withstand such waste!”

“For a grand goal, necessary waste is worthwhile.”

Carlos replied with a cold smile, showing considerable restraint.

“What we need to ensure is that we aren’t the part that is wasted.”

This was a naked warning, suggesting not to become cannon fodder, right?

Like infiltrating enemy lines for the organization’s interest and after causing destruction finding oneself unable to flee?

Fu Qian expressed that he understood Carlos’s meaning quite clearly.

Considering his earlier words, Carlos’s warning was already heavy with implication— he was watching the two of them closely, and any trouble would mean certain death for them.

So, it would be wise to consider the consequences before making any move, to see if it’s worth trading one’s life for.

Hm… on the flip side, this fully illustrated that he was still afraid of them making any move.

“Doctor…”

Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Asao Sakura, who had left not long before, walked in.

This member of the public relations team greeted Carlos while looking somewhat troubled at the person behind her.

Hm…

Carlos wasn’t too surprised by someone entering, but when he saw who it was, his frown was visibly apparent.

Following Asao Sakura, two people entered, one of whom was Suzune, who had been in and out of the building several times before, and there was also a middle-aged man.

Brawny in stature, with a rough face and a bald head, Fu Qian took one look at him and felt a memory being triggered.

He looks somewhat familiar!

After mentally adding a circle of hair to the man, Fu Qian finally remembered where he had seen him before.

In the Rotten Forest, among the mercenary cannon fodder, was he not one of the only two survivors, the right-hand man of the leader Delin, Archer Brother?
