Chapter 124 - Bloody Scepter

Remter.

Early in the morning, Sean went to the vice president's office. He sat down in his big leather chair and was soon served a cup of coffee by the assistant. In the old days, having a cup of coffee in the morning wasn't exactly a luxury. However, during the turbulent times, to be able to drink so much every morning was another aspect of Shane's wealth.

In fact, although he was the vice president of the union, at least seventy percent of Remus' power fell into Shane's pocket.

He was still young, less than forty years old, the golden age of a man's life. Although the average life expectancy in the new era is shorter, Thein has reached old age. However, his wealth was enough for Sean to pay for every expensive genetic medicine that cost more than a million yuan. Although these potions weren't able to help Sean become an Adept, they were able to extend his life.

In Theon's private safe, there were three of them. For the rest of the time, Theon would be injected with one pill every ten years, and these three potions were enough to keep Theon alive until he was eighty years old, or even longer.

Since he had a long life, Sean wanted power. As Masters had said, the ambitious Theon would never allow Remter to live on the edge of the coastline. In Xi Empire's kingdom's blueprint, this new city should be like Eternal Night City, situated at the pinnacle of this continent.

Of course, this was not an easy goal to achieve. That requires a step-by-step plan and a bold eye for investment.

Remter's biggest problem now was funding, even though the city had grown from a small human settlement to a medium-sized underground base, thanks to Theon's vigorous development. But he was still far from Sean's goal. If he wanted to become a city as tall as Yongye City, Remter had a long way to go.

First, it requires a large amount of money to allow the city to expand and develop. Where did the money come from? If the first stage of the operation were to be funded through Remter's own water purification output and the small arsenal, Remter would have to operate for at least another twenty years without making the slightest mistake. It had been too long for Theon, so there was only one way left.

That was to attract other companies or aristocrats to invest in it. However, Remter was still a nameless base, let alone comparing it with a fortress like Phoenix City, even Titan City was more famous than it. In order to attract investors' attention, Mr Remter must do something.

Whether it was gene research or absolute military power that could sweep across the continent, it didn't matter. Whatever it was, Theon had to show Remter's extraordinary side. However, even though he knew it, he couldn't do anything that would attract any investment due to the various conditions he had to go through.

Of course, the university area that had recently been cleared was the cornerstone of Remter's future expansion. However, Shane's actions came to an end here. His financial budget did not allow him to immediately devote himself to the development of the University City.

However, the most recent opportunity had come.

The opportunity came from the mercenary who had helped to clear the University City not long ago. The soldier named Zero had recognized Lucien as a talent the first time he had met him. And now, it was proved even more that this soldier fought against the young master Saurun from Parkland after leaving Remulte, and even took back his lover from Saurun's hands.

Although the last item recovered was only a corpse, it was enough to make Shane look at him in a new light.

After that, Zero stayed in the city for two months. In the meantime, Theon had ordered Pera's cobra to observe him in secret, and all the "exercises" in the ruins of the wilderness were relayed back to Remter via signal encryption. In Theon's personal computer, there was still a zero-related file. From these files, Theon could see that he was a potential Adept.

After leaving the Angry Reef City, Shane continued to pay attention to the movements of zero. Titan City's incident of wolves stealing, Phoenix City's King Slaying operation … All this information had fallen into Shane's hands through some unknown channels. Shane was most pleasantly surprised by the incident with Parkland. It turned out that Zero was still alive after being ambushed by Parkland's assassins, and had entered Death Ridge yesterday.

The information regarding Zero had completely disappeared after he entered the Death God Ridge. If he wanted to obtain information about Zero, he would have to wait until he left the restricted area. In any case, the fact that Zero was still alive and continued northwards was like a slap in the face for Parkland.

He would help Zero get to the Blue Collar Mountains of Parkland by helping him secretly. If Zero succeeds in taking revenge on Parkland, Theon will appear as his agent and sell the Remt behind him.

All this, as Masters had guessed. What Masters did not know, however, was that Theon had a great deal to compete with him for the position of agent.

To do all this, of course, Remter had to put in a budget. Therefore, after learning that Zero had not died and making up his mind, Sean had already submitted an application according to the procedure.

But when he turned on his computer and clicked on an unread email, the words "Reject" were written in bright red. Beneath it, a name suddenly appeared in Shane's eyes.

Bruce!

This was the president of the union, Sean's superior, an old man in his sixties. Bruce had always been a strict man, and many of his ideas were at odds with Theon's radical policies. However, with most of the union's representatives behind him, Sean was often able to win these disputes.

However, a major event such as budgetary expenditure must always be confirmed by the signature of the president of the trade union, otherwise a meeting of representatives must be convened. After a series of complicated agenda and votes, Theon was able to get the budget.

If it was a normal day, Sean would not mind. But right now, he didn't have the time to play turtle and rabbit racing with that old man Blues. This budget had to be put into use immediately before it crossed Death's Ridge. It involved the operation of intelligence, supplies, personnel, and so on. And these operations required a lot of preparation time. Bruce didn't care, but Shane didn't have that time.

If he were to miss this chance, who knows how many years it would take for Remter to truly rise to power.

He called her over.

The beautiful female snake was still dressed in her tight-fitting clothes. Pella stood up straight until she was behind Sean, then she bent down and asked softly, "Boss, what instructions do you have for me?"

Sean said lightly, "Old Bruce has lived long enough. His eyes have become blurry and his judgement is not as good as before. What would people think if such a person died in their own house? "
