Lord of War

Chapter 124 Bloody Scepter

Remter.

Early in the morning, Theon came to the office of the vice chairman of the union. He sat on his own big leather chair, and soon his assistant brought him a cup of coffee. In the old days, it was not necessarily luxurious to drink coffee in the morning. But in turbulent times, being able to drink like this every morning tells Theon's financial resources from another side.

In fact, although he is the vice chairman of the union, at least 70% of Remter's power falls in Theon's pocket.

He is still young, less than 40, which is the golden stage of a man's life. Although in terms of the average shortened life expectancy in the new era, Theon has entered old age. But his financial resources are enough for Theon to pay for every expensive genetic agent that costs more than a million. Although these agents can't make Theon a power, they can greatly prolong Theon's life.

In Theon's private safe, there are always three such drugs. In the following time, Theon will inject one every ten years, and these three drugs are enough to make Theon live to 80 years old, or even longer.

Since he has a longer life, Theon naturally wants power. As Master said before, the ambitious Theon was never willing to succumb to the edge of the coastline. In the blueprint of Xi's kingdom, this emerging city should be at the peak of this continent like the Eternal Night City.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this goal. That requires a step-by-step plan and a vision of daring to invest.

Remte's biggest problem now is capital, although with the vigorous development of Theon, the city has grown from a small human settlement to a medium-sized underground base now. But it is still far from Theon's goal. There is still a long way to go to become a city as high as the Eternal Night City.

First of all, it needs a large amount of money to expand and develop the city. Where do the funds come from? If Remter's own purified water output and the arms sold by the opening of a small arsenal can reach the first phase of start-up capital, Remte will have to operate for at least 20 years without making any mistakes. This has been too long for Theon, so he only has one other way left.

That is to attract other companies or nobles to invest, but Remmett is still an unknown base, not to mention a fortress city like Phoenix, and even Titan City is much more famous than it. To attract the attention of investors, Remte must do something.

Whether it is a step-by-step genetic research or the absolute force across the continent. Whatever it is, Theon must show Remter's extraordinary side. It should be known that due to various conditions, Theon can't do anything that can attract investment.

Of course, the recently cleared university area can be said to be the cornerstone of Remte's future expansion. But that's all for Theon's action, and the financial budget did not allow him to invest in the development of the university town immediately.

However, the opportunity has come recently.

The opportunity came from the mercenary who had made a part in cleaning up the university town not long ago. The soldier named Zero decided that he was a talent when he first saw him. And now it proves that after leaving Remte, the soldier first went against Sauron, a noble young master from Parkland, and snatched his lover back from Sauron's hands.

Although the last one recovered was only a corpse, it was enough to impress Theon.

Then, Zero stayed in the Angry Reef City for two months. During this period, Theon ordered Pella's cobra to secretly observe it, and zero's "practice" on the wilderness ruins all returned to Remte through signal encryption. Zero-related files are still stored in Theon's personal computer. From these files, Theon sees a powerful person with great potential.

After leaving the Angry Reef, Theon also continued to pay attention to the dynamics of Zero. The wolf thief incident in Titan City, the king beheading operation in Phoenix... All these information fell into the hands of Theon through unknown channels. What surprised Theon most was the killer incident in Parkland. It turned out that Zero saved his life after being ambushed by the killers in Parkland and had entered Death Ridge yesterday.

All the information about Zero was terminated after he entered the Death Ridge. In order to obtain his relevant information, he must wait for Zero to get out of the forbidden place of life. But in any case, the message that Zero is not dead and continues to go north is like a slap in the face of the Parkland chaebol, which also made Theon make an important decision.

He will help Zero successfully reach the blue-collar mountains of the Parkland chaebol through secret assistance. If Zero succeeds in revenge on Parkland, Theon will appear as a person and sell the Remte behind him.

All this, as Master guessed. What Master didn't know was that Theon had a position to compete with him for zero.

To do all this, Remter naturally needs to invest a budget. So after learning that Zero is not dead and making up his mind, Theon has submitted an application according to the procedure.

But when he turned on the computer and clicked on an unread email, the bright red word "rejected" on it looked so dazzling. Under it, a person's name appeared in Theon's eyes.

Bruce!

This is the chairman of the union, Theon's boss, and an old man in his sixties. Bruce has always been rigorous, and many of his ideas are incompatible with Theon's radical policies, so he is divided with Theon on major matters. However, Theon, who is supported by most trade union representatives, is often able to win these disputes.

However, major events such as fiscal budget expenditure must always be signed and approved by the chairman of the trade union, otherwise a representative meeting must be convened. After passing a series of tedious agendas and votes, Theon was able to use this budget.

If it's normal, Theon doesn't care. But now, he doesn't have time to play the turtle and rabbit race with the old Bruce. This budget must be put into use immediately before crossing the Death Ridge. It involves the operation of intelligence, materials, personnel and other aspects. And these operations require a lot of preparation time. Bruce doesn't care, but his Theon doesn't have this time.

Missing this best opportunity, I don't know how many years it will take for Remter to really rise.

So he called Pera over.

The beautiful snake was still dressed in tight clothes. Pella straightened her body and came behind Theon before leaning down and asked softly, "Boss, what can I do you order?"

Theon said lightly, "Old Bruce has lived long enough. He is dizzy and his judgment is not as good as before. What would people think if such a person died in their own house?
