The incandescent lights in the corridors of the Truth Society are quite hot. As the Truth Society, which has mastered the extraordinary wisdom of all the top scholars in the entire continent, it is full of cold and rational atmosphere.

The side of the quiet passage is transparent glass, looking down, you can clearly see the mechanical arms and various instruments, and the researchers with the exoskeleton devices are so busy that they forget themselves.

And the most outstanding existence among them is a woman who stands at the top of all current knowledge——Maria, the president of the Truth Society. She is standing on the floor-to-ceiling window looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Truth Society.

During her "retreat" period, Andrew did do a lot of things, and if she came out later, maybe the Truth Society should be renamed, right?

After all, daring to directly blow up the upper and lower urban passages that have been controlled by the Truth Society for thousands of years is really not something that ordinary people would dare to do.

Andrew... didn't have the guts before.

Maria pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose, and there was a dim light in her azure eyes.

"President Maria."

The assistant shouted behind her: "The vice president, heads of various departments, directors, and project team leaders have all arrived in the conference room."

Maria nodded thoughtfully: "I see."

Looking at the seemingly orderly picture in front of her, she was silent for a moment, then turned and walked to the meeting room, the sleeves of the spotless white coat and the long black hair fluttering in the wind.

Andrew sat at the second seat in the conference room, looking extremely calm.

It was a bit surprising that Maria was able to advance to the god level and survived the explosion - Raziel had fully anticipated her return at the time, and the explosion was a gift prepared for the other party. It should be counted as a leak.

If it was the old Andrew, maybe he had already started to hesitate, and his position was in chaos.

After all, Andrew in the past has been overwhelmed by this ruthless genius.

But now that he has the omnipotent God as the backstage, and the great founder of the Truth Society who was once called "Worldly Wisdom" to cooperate, he has no feeling of fear at all.

Andrew sneered in his heart.

alive, alive...

Compared with a pioneer who does not know life and death and a leader who is in place, he still prefers the latter.

If Maria hadn't come out, she would always be the pioneer who didn't know life and death, the only great scholar in the Third Era to attack the god level, but now it's not necessarily the case...

The only thing that matters is what Maria finds... Notes from Lower Town?

Andrew thought that his expression became dark, and he might have to report this matter to Boss Lin. He remembered that Boss Lin had always been interested in the lower city.

While he was thinking, the figure of Maria walking into the meeting room attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone, I'm very glad to see you again." Maria pushed her eyes, and the mirror reflecting the incandescent lamp made it difficult to see her expression clearly.

As soon as Maria finished speaking, she got a lot of responses, but Andrew raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

"My long-term retreat is a bit special, I'm sorry to hide it from everyone, because the method I used is a bit special, I have to go to the lower city, but it is now completely over... Therefore, I can officially announce one thing here, I have been promoted God level."

Maria said calmly.

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"Great, this is a great thing for our Truth Society!"

The faces of the scholars were full of excitement and fanaticism: "After thousands of years since Mr. Junior, our Truth Society finally has another god-level member! No, especially now that Mr. Junior has also confirmed that he is not dead, The Truth Society with two god-levels has completely surpassed the Secret Ritual Tower... This, this is the Truth Society's opportunity!"

Small congratulatory sounds filled the entire meeting room. If these scholars hadn't been calm by nature and took into account the presence of their superiors, they would have started to cheer.

Andrew showed a formulaic smile and scanned the entire office.

It seems that Maria's prestige is still extraordinary. After all, she has grown from a talented girl who was born in a famous family with extraordinary talents and made great progress all the way to an extraordinary person who now guides the Truth Society.

Not to mention that there are only a handful of gods in this world, and most people can't imagine what kind of existence the gods are—the gods are already unimaginable existences that can leverage the laws of nature and become the master of a certain field.

However, there is a god-level existence around Andrew who has no brains and is at his mercy, and there is also the only true god forest boss, so Maria's god-level can't give Andrew much impact, he just sits on his seat and leans back slightly. Sit on the sidelines.

In fact, Andrew deeply doubts whether Maria has mastered the laws of the field. If there is no law of the field, the so-called god level is just a blank promise.

Andrew's eyes were full of scrutiny, without any fear.

"Somaye." Maria suddenly shouted, and the female scholar sitting on the left side of the round table stood up. Maria looked at her and said, "Let's start reporting on the work during my absence."

"Okay." Secretary-General Somaye took out a stack of thick paper and prepared to read.

"Don't be so troublesome." Maria raised her hand to interrupt her, and said with a smile: "Everyone here is precious, please explain as concisely as possible. The report will be delivered to my office soon."

"Okay, okay."

Somaye became nervous, immediately put down the paper, cleared his throat and began to report.

Maria leaned back, scanning the expressions and movements of all the researchers below, while listening to Somaye's report on the work of the Truth Society, she would point out any omissions and deficiencies.

It was completely unclear whether he was observing his subordinates or quickly thinking about the content of the report.

Sure enough, the god level has reached this level, and the feeling of depression is completely different from before... The scholars in the entire conference room have this idea in their minds.

"...and, during the Devil's Egg incident," Somaye pushed his glasses and continued, "The owner of the bookstore showed his god-level strength for the first time, and because..."

She hesitated.

Maria, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her eyes: "Why?"

Somaye glanced at the vice president sitting next to him, and said, "Uh, because of Vice President Andrew's mistake in decision-making, the Truth Society and the bookstore are on opposite sides."

"Ahem," before Maria could question him, Andrew interrupted immediately, and tapped his finger on the conference table: "But later I found out that it was an inner ghost, and I have been forgiven by the owner of the bookstore."

"The ghost?" Maria frowned.

"The Road of Fire Sword has placed an undercover agent in the Truth Society, trying to control the Truth Society, but thanks to President Andrew's insight." Somaye replied quickly.

"No." Andrew raised his hand, smiled modestly and said, "It's all thanks to Lord Young."

He looked at Maria, and deliberately re-read the three words "Unil".

"Heh." Maria, who was looking at Andrew, chuckled softly, unable to hear any emotion: "So that's how it is..."

Andrew sat on the chair without showing any weakness, with straight eyes, as if he was indeed just stating the facts.

Maria put on a half-smile: "Although this matter is the credit of Mr. Young, but during my absence, the truth will flourish, thanks to President Andrew."

"Don't dare to be."

Andrew is well versed in the hypocrisy of nobles, and with a perfect smile on his face that still looks like a playboy even when he gets old, he said: "After all, I am just the vice president, and I am the president of Maria." The explanation to me before the retreat, I naturally want to do my best."

Maria was noncommittal, turned her head and said, "Go on, let's talk about the owner of the bookstore."

"yes."

Somaye nodded and told everything about Lin Jie from beginning to end.

Maria tilted her head and narrowed her eyes.

All the things, all the contradictions, and all the disputes during this period, although they have existed for a long time, but because of the owner of the bookstore, they are all involved like a whirlpool, one by one, one by one, every organization, all in one place. The other party dances like a marionette under the will of the other party.

And the Truth Society, even unconsciously, has become a tool in the hands of the other party.

These scholars present are even proud of being able to help Lin Jie.

It's not right, it's definitely not right.

And the other party's influence on the Truth Society seems to rely on Andrew... and that Young who suddenly cheated.

Maria was thinking, and Somaye's report came to an end.

"...This is all the things that have happened since your retreat. Here is the report I wrote."

Somaye put the manuscript in front of Maria, and then withdrew.

Maria nodded, looked at the manuscript and fell silent, tapping her fingers on the table.

The scholars present were waiting for the president's speech, and they also fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Maria raised her head, and suddenly said in a relaxed tone: "Now Truth has two god-levels. It's really gratifying, but considering the lofty status of Mr. Junior, it's really not good for me to be the president. Great, why not—"

"How about I give up my position?"

Maria smiled, as if she was discussing some small problem of improving the food of the Truth Society, the whole conference room was instantly silent, and everyone was stunned.

Andrew took a deep breath, completely unaware that the other party would make such a move suddenly.

What does she... exactly want to do?

She doesn't know that the position of the president is her biggest insurance besides her own strength. As long as she gets down from the position, Andrew is sure to make her disappear within three days. What exactly gave her the courage to make her disappear? She abdicated directly? ! Could it be... a trap? !

"Vice President Andrew, what do you think?" Maria suddenly looked at him.

Andrew was silent for a while, and said: "This is a big matter, and we still can't make such a random decision..."

Maria glanced at him with a half-smile, then looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Why don't you speak? Then I will give you time. After three months, vote to decide who will be the president."
