Chapter 356 Thrall and Sally Ruth
Russell's body couldn't help but tremble for a moment.
What he cared more about than Chairman Sal's words... Sal did not disclose this secret when he was alone, but told it directly in public.
Siren and Ringo both heard what had happened - what would happen to them next?
"Do you care about them?"
Sal easily read Russell's fleeting thoughts, but only said gently: "Nothing will happen to them.
"That persistent old man Amirus sent her here just because he wanted to know these things.
"But these things are not secrets to me at all. Since he is so persistent in wanting to know, it is better to let this young lady take them back to him.
"Now that the 'Saint' has come to this world and my destiny is being fulfilled, everything else is fine..."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the interior of the villa, which was almost a castle.
The old man held the cane and held Russell's arm enthusiastically with his other hand. He was as enthusiastic as a grandfather who had not seen his grandson for a long time, but he no longer told the truth that shocked Russell and longed for him.
The prosthetics standing on both sides bowed to them one after another.
Ringo followed Russell, feeling like his brain had turned into a ball of mush.
She felt as if she had come into contact with some top-level secret - something that could make a giant dragon suddenly appear and slap her to death with its claws. What made her even more confused was that she couldn't understand what Chairman Sal said at all. Able to write it all down with my own memory.
When the door of the castle hall was opened to both sides by the mechanical servant who had transformed into a full body of prosthetics, the guests inside who looked respectfully at the door were shocked and unbelievable by what they saw -
They saw with their own eyes that Chairman Sal, who was usually invisible, was holding the arm of the cat-eared boy warmly and affectionately like a grandfather meeting his lovely grandson.
"...Does this 'ultramarine' from Happy Island have any biological relationship with the chairman?"
"But looking at his ears, it doesn't look like he was an illegitimate child..."
"Could it be that the spiritual characteristics overshadow the elf characteristics?"
"It's also possible that it's not a descendant, but a grandchild or great-grandchild..."
The noble guests remained silent on the surface, but at the same time they were speculating silently and intensely in their respective groups.
Although the status of "hero" can be regarded as a big shot in the eyes of real civilians. However, to these senior executives of the Sanshin Heavy Industry, they are nothing more than white gloves as consumables. They cannot be called human beings... they are just tools and pets of the directors.
The crisis caused by the synthetic human rebellion is actually just that.
They are not evil spirits with a desire for revenge, but just vulnerable people armed with dangerous weapons and with clear needs.
——Although the core appeal is to fight for human rights. But in essence, it is not fundamentally different from a strike.
And each of these "big shots" in Sanzhi Heavy Industry has considerable experience in how to deal with strikes.
They really didn't understand why "Ultramarine" was personally received by Chairman Sal.
There must be something wrong with this!
Although they are unclear about the situation for the time being, these short-lived company executives also have quite a lot of experience in how to please the elf directors.
These rude men and arrogant women wearing expensive furs, under the introduction of Chairman Sal, seemed to have never had any contempt or contempt for Russell. Each one of them was like a distant relative who wanted to establish a relationship after meeting for the first time. They tried their best to show their intimacy and respect for Russell with their rather stiff acting skills.
"Come and have a drink, little girl."
Others saw that Russell and Chairman Sal were already surrounded by water, so they ran to Russell's bodyguards and enthusiastically handed over a glass of orange juice. At the same time, they couldn't help but show off: "This is real and grown." The best freshly squeezed iced orange juice. It tastes completely different from the synthetic drinks you drink on weekdays."
"……Thanks."
But Ringo just accepted the drink politely and coldly.
——She didn’t feel any sense of rarity from it, but instead felt the unabashed arrogance that was engraved into her bones.
She glanced at the name tag on the woman's chest.
[Iris, Director of Shenzhi Heavy Industry Division]
An ordinary code name.
A ministerial level at the head office of a company.
He is half a level below Mr. Ultramarine's branch deputy director, but he is undoubtedly a real "big shot".
Ringo quickly completed the calculation in his mind.
Originally, for her, the elusive big shot was right in front of her, but she felt inexplicably bored.
——It turns out that these big figures who can easily change the fate and life and death of hundreds of people are actually nothing more than that.
There is neither the gentle and reliable feeling of Mr. Ultramarine and Chairman Sal, nor the neat, efficient, methodical sense of rhythm and pressure of Ms. Siren.
The flattery and arrogance on Ms. Iris's face appeared at the same time, crowding each other and occupying the little space. But it makes that delicate appearance look so stiff and ridiculous.
Ringo couldn't help but cast her eyes on Russell, wanting to see how Mr. Ultramarine, whom she admired more and more, dealt with it.
As a result, she saw Russell smiling and talking calmly to six or seven people at the same time.
"Yes, when I defeated the gangsters, I had just awakened my spiritual power. If I have to say it, what drives me is courage and responsibility.
"That's what you said. At that time, I was really sweating. The pressure brought by God was too much. But fortunately, everyone united and did their best, so that we could handle the matter properly and minimize the harm. to the lowest.
"No, I'm not talking about the sense of responsibility that belongs to a hero or the head of the executive department. It's the sense of responsibility that a person should have as a matter of course - he can't watch the tragedy happen in front of his eyes without wavering or suffering.
"Yes, I just wanted to do it. And I can actually do it. This is also a kind of luck... I am lucky that I have the ability to change the tragedy when I face it..."
At that moment, Ringo even imagined the situation in front of him as a big shot being interviewed by a group of reporters.
Without any delay, Russell accepted the fact that he had become the center of everyone's conversation and attention, and handled all inquiries and difficulties calmly and appropriately.
The smile on his face became more kind and gentle, and a gentle aura similar to that of Chairman Sal gradually spread. An atmosphere that was completely different and incompatible with the rude and arrogant people around him gradually oozed from his words.
Sensitive people gradually became aware of this change in temperament, questioning gradually turned to flattery, and those blunt flatteries became smooth and natural. It was as if the person in front of them was no longer a grassroots "Hero of Happy Island", but a certain elf director of Sanshin Heavy Industry.
Chairman Sal stood outside the crowd, stroking his beard and watching everything with a smile.
But soon, Ringo felt someone tapping his shoulder.
"Girl, are you his bodyguard?"
It's like a pet dog that was suddenly touched by a stranger while walking on the street.
Ringo subconsciously turned around and wanted to bar his teeth, but he immediately thought of the big shots here, so he instantly controlled the dissatisfaction on his face.
But she only saw the other person's appearance clearly, and her pupils lost focus in an instant.
As if captured by the peerless beauty——
The woman who appeared behind Ringo was a peerless beauty whose appearance and temperament were the most beautiful and luxurious that Ringo had ever seen, thought, and recognized. Just by showing up, she can naturally attract everyone's attention.
That is by no means the highest appearance that human beings can have, it seems to be the embodiment of "beauty". Logically speaking, appearance is just a random combination of facial features, and everyone's aesthetics is different. In any case, it cannot be stunningly beautiful. But the "beauty" she carries is completely beyond the limits of human cognition... just like human ears cannot hear infrasound waves, but the internal organs can resonate with them.
——In the patchwork of facial features, there are "foreign objects" that cannot be detected by the human eye.
The elf woman was wearing a gorgeous crimson dress, and she was covered in gorgeous jewelry that could be easily seen at a glance. Any one of those jewelry could arouse people's admiration, but for her, it seemed to be a limiter that suppressed her beauty, giving Ringo the illusion that "this thing is not worthy of her."
The long golden hair was spread naturally like beautiful silk, shining under the warm light in the room. The crimson pupils were like the most mellow wine, and it seemed as if they were stuck in a mire just by looking at them.
You can see the burgundy color and smell the non-existent aroma of boiling cider. She felt a sense of dizziness coming from her brain, like motion sickness, her feet became buoyant, and her consciousness gradually peeled off and evaporated. Like an organic solvent dissolved in alcohol, she felt her consciousness gradually melting.
Her cheeks were flushed to the roots of her ears and collarbone. Although she had not touched any wine, there was a faint smell of alcohol between her lips and teeth.
"Sally Ruth, you're late."
What brought Ringo back to consciousness was Chairman Sal's old and gentle whisper.
She gasped in embarrassment and felt that her legs were shaking - ever since she was intoxicated, what struck her was groundless fear and panic.
The extremely beautiful woman in front of her had opened a crimson folding fan at some point and blocked half of her face. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that she was able to wake up.
The elf woman named Sally Ruth said with a smile, "Maybe, it's just right."
In the direction she was looking at, in Ringo's worried but inexplicably expectant gaze.
If Russell felt something, he turned around.
