Chapter 531 Chapter 528 Combat Power Gap (Part 2)

Isabella believes that Nike is a talent. If she takes him as her subordinate, it will not only benefit the company, but also increase her own resources, thereby improving her position in the company. Within the company, every time you are promoted to a higher level, the power will be much more obvious than outside the company, and there is no ceiling for this promotion.

Even if you rise step by step to become the president in the constitutional government, there is still legal supervision above your head. However, there is no upper limit for the company. It can be said that if you can enter the core department of the head office and become a senior executive, you are only protected by the law and no longer subject to legal supervision. Although there are still constraints from the company system, there is only the company system left. Once you reach the top of the company, the system is a charter.

Things that are too far away are just fantasies for the time being. Isabella focuses on the present. She is only a little short of outstanding achievements to switch from the front line to management. As long as you have the three achievements of the front line, management and scientific research at the same time, you will have the opportunity to enter the core circle of the company. Even if you stay in the Peicheng branch, you can immediately obtain higher authority and resources. Develop Nike in, as long as Nike works hard, then Nike's front-line achievements are equal to her management achievements. If that kind of interesting martial arts can be provided to the company and adopted, it can also be considered a scientific research achievement, which is exactly what Isabella wants.

Therefore, Isabella hopes that Nike can join the company willingly, rather than being snatched in by her. Even if she spends more time talking and gives him more benefits, these are all within the acceptable range. However, what does Nike like? Judging from his performance, the effect of simply using money may not be good. Perhaps he can be given a little sweetness from the perspective of social status. However, Isabella believes that what Nike really wants is...

"I want to act freely. Just like a mercenary, I can refuse commissioned tasks that I don't like, and I can also freely choose the methods and gains on the premise of completing the task. I don't want to be bound to the office or the training ground. I can go wherever I want." Zhuang Xuteng took the lead in saying what he wanted, which saved Isabella's time. "If you want to recruit me, at least tell me what the benefits are and whether you can meet my requirements, right? If you are sincere, then we can talk. If not, even if you catch me, it will definitely not be as effective as bargaining and reaching an agreement. Am I right?"

Isabella nodded, then pointed to the door and said, "You stay inside, I will ask the HR for the salary. You are smarter than me. When I was asked to join the company, I missed the bargaining process, and as a result, my starting point was lower than others."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll go sit inside for a while. Can you help me get the flathead brother? I can make a few calls to confirm the situation, while waiting for the idiots of the Canghuo Gang to leave, and wait to see your sincerity. You can take less money, but you must have more freedom. I want freedom of movement, don't forget it!"

After that, Zhuang Xuteng raised his middle finger to the gangsters of the Canghuo Gang, then took the flathead brother handed over by Isabella, turned around and walked into the building. The Canghuo Gang members who were originally dismantling the protective layer inside saw him coming, and quickly dropped the tools in their hands and left. Are you kidding? He was able to kill two elders by himself, and he looked uninjured and in good condition. Who dared to fight him again? There was a tough guy among the mercenaries. It would be hard for the gang to get along in the future. Why didn't Colonel Taff kill him with one punch? He left such a scourge behind!

"Go, go. There is nothing worth staying here!" After driving them away, Zhuang Xuteng returned to Meteor's studio, dug out a soft cloth sponge bag from under the smashed equipment, and sat in it as a sofa.

A few minutes later, the PCPD sirens came from a distance, mixed with the sound of shadow guns and chemical energy firearms firing. At this time, the company's forces also began to evacuate, and mobile phone communications were immediately restored. His mobile phone vibrated, and he took it out to take a look. It was indeed Lucy who called.

"Sister Lucy, how is the situation? Are you not injured?" Zhuang Xuteng answered the phone and asked.

"I'm fine, Liuxing is here too, she's fine too, thank you." Lucy said, "How are you? What is Dingxin Mochuang going to do?"

"I'm fine, but I'm a little tired from fighting. I killed two elders of the Canghuo Gang. Did you see it over at the music restaurant?"

"I saw it, we all saw it. What should we do next?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I can't beat my arm, maybe I'll just join the company - let's see what kind of treatment I can get. Being a mercenary is for money, and working for the company is also for money. But I worked in a factory under the company before, and that experience was very bad, so I tend not to join. Sister Lucy, maybe we have to work for the company and exchange service for freedom of action. We were just blocked by Dingxin Mochuang and the Canghuo Gang and beaten up, and then we have to work for them. Can you accept it?"

"Yes, absolutely, as long as we can get through the difficulties." Lucy said.

Zhuang Xuteng got a satisfactory answer, so he hung up the phone and continued to sit on the sofa to rest, while opening the Wrathful Spirit Jelly to search in Liuxing's room. He didn't want to join a company, especially Dingxin Mochuang, a bastard company that sold weapons, nurtured gangs, and sold the car invented by his brother everywhere. Many things in the world can be compromised, but some things, just can't.

His conversation with Isabelle, his phone call with Lucy, his willingness to consider joining the company, were all acted, all to delay time and then find a way to leave the scene. With Isabella's strength, she must have heard Zhuang Xuteng's voice, including his phone call with Lucy. All the good words Zhuang Xuteng said were to paralyze her and make her think that he really wanted to join the company.

The problem here is difficult to solve: the remnants of the Canghuo Gang, Lucy's mercenaries, and the PCPD that are about to swarm in. In the public eye, Zhuang Xuteng cannot conflict with Isabella of Dingxin Mochuang. It is not good to be beaten by her, but if he accidentally beats her, Dingxin Mochuang will never allow him to lose face in public, and Zhuang Xuteng will definitely face continuous harassment and attacks in the future.

And the PCPD is coming soon. To put it more clearly: Morgana is coming soon. Zhuang Xuteng is most afraid that Morgana will appear and try to save him, which will bring endless troubles, but she may really do that. If you want to solve the problem, it is best to change the place and time, and there will be no audience around. Zhuang Xuteng and Isabella are the best. A senior manager of the development department is not unkillable, and he is not invincible. Zhuang Xuteng is a little worried about her strength, but he is definitely not afraid of her.

Action must be fast. Now Isabella is still outside coordinating and directing the Canghuo Gang to hit the PCPD in an orderly manner, and she also has to call Dingxin Mochuang Peicheng Branch to apply for Zhuang Xuteng's treatment. Wait a minute, after the PCPD comes up, she will definitely leave the street, and nine out of ten will come in to find Zhuang Xuteng, then there will be no escape!

The resentful spirit Jelly searched the room and soon found the escape passage of Meteor. She tried to leave here, but met the Canghuo Gang halfway, so she had to come back. Now that the PCPD has arrived and the Canghuo Gang has evacuated, the escape passage may be used again.

After finding the passage, Zhuang Xuteng summoned Miss Sick and asked her to sneak in to check the situation. After that, he took out the invisibility cloak from his position, unfolded it carefully, and carefully checked the surface for damage. Finally, he put the flat-headed brother on his back and connected it to the invisibility cloak, putting them on standby and ready to start at any time.

Two minutes later, the red and blue flashes of the PCPD fleet were getting closer, and Isabella knew she should leave the street. The branch office had not yet replied to her, but said that it had reported the matter to the upper level and there would be a response within half an hour. The upper level was satisfied with this action. All the elders of the Canghuo Gang died, which was equivalent to cutting off the connection between the gang and the company at once, greatly reducing the tediousness of subsequent processing work.

This battle proved that the gang's speed in cultivating top combat power was not as fast as the middleman-mercenary system, and the side effects of social impact were still large, which had lagged behind the times and the needs of the company. Safety blue completely replaced blue crystals, the new industrial layout has been smoothly launched, and the role of gangs in controlling social order has been declining. In the past, it was necessary to retain a force at the bottom of society that could interfere with and harm the constitutional government. Now that the middleman-mercenary has stood up, it has not only formed a legal industry, but also has little to do with the PCPD, so it can naturally take over some of the work of the original gangs.

The gangs will not disappear completely, and the knives can be hidden. There is no need to break them when they are not used! The four major gangs represent the era of competition among the four major companies. Now that the four major companies have joined forces, there is no need for four gangs. These gangs can die. It doesn't matter if they are killed by the PCPD or slowly eaten away by the middleman-mercenary. It only needs to keep the most elite and core part of the force and continue to exist under a different identity.

Everything is going well - or rather, the company's work is going well. Next, it depends on whether this side can benefit itself. She issued an order to withdraw, and at the same time asked her deputy to drive outside the PCPD cordon and wait for further instructions to pick up people. Then, she walked towards the artist's studio...

At this time, she heard the sound of the toilet lid being lifted, followed by the sound of water flowing. Obviously, Zhuang Xuteng was relieving himself, and it would be bad to break in at this time. So Isabella stopped at the door, listening to the noise upstairs and watching the slow pace of PCPD's actions.

"You can really pee... What implant did you use?" Isabella listened for more than two minutes, and the sound of peeing had not stopped. After waiting for another minute, the sound continued, and Isabelle felt something was wrong.

"Nike, I admire you very much. You can hold it in even when fighting, and you didn't pee your pants." She deliberately spoke loudly and stomped her feet upstairs. If Nike was still in the bathroom, he would definitely respond, but there was no movement upstairs. Isabelle was angry, stomped her feet, and punched through the floor directly upwards, and then rushed into the bathroom. Where was Nike? A hose connected to the faucet and several ropes tied to the toilet directed everything.

"Asshole! Where is he hiding?" Isabelle immediately activated the eyeball implant to scan the surroundings, such as infrared signals, shadow energy residues, and air dust flow analysis. Based on comprehensive analysis, she quickly discovered the entrance to the secret escape passage and found a fingerprint on the door frame that had not yet completely dissipated.

"Escaped? Escaped! I just praised you for being smart, but this is a slap in my face." Isabel grabbed the secret door with both hands and was about to pry it open when her intelligence analysis assistant started to call the police. At this time, she looked inside the gap in the secret door and found a barely noticeable filament.

"You still dare to plant a bomb? When I find you, I will kill you..." Before Isabella finished scolding, she used the built-in shadow slave in the wrist universal tool to deftly dismantle the "bomb".

Zhuang Xuteng knew that the bomb would not work on Isabella, so he just left her a note that read: "I'm not ready to join the company yet, so I have to leave. I want freedom, please don't chase me. In addition, you are very beautiful, and there are many people outside, so I didn't dare to say it. Scarecrow."

This note made Isabella feel very confused. Her left and right faces showed opposite expressions of smugness and anger, making her look distorted and hideous. She calmed down and thought about it, and then she realized that this was Zhuang Xuteng's revenge on her: before negotiating the deal, she played a trick and said "I can take one person out of the building", and Naike knew that it was not profitable to exchange one for one, but he still agreed; now Naike asked her to let the company give him enough freedom before joining, which is obviously also a verbal trap. Give freedom, then leave; don't give freedom, then don't join, and still leave.

She must be unhappy to realize that she was cheated, but the note also complimented her for being beautiful, indicating that they did not tear their faces apart. Isabella knew that she was "of course" beautiful, but she was usually "more dignified", so others could only speak seriously and would not mention this advantage. I didn't expect that this scarecrow Nike had good vision... No! Isabella frowned and cursed: The most important thing now is not thinking, but action. Hurry up and catch that little bastard!

She opened the secret passage and went in, chasing forward according to the air dust disturbance information. Her intelligence analysis system kept sending new data, indicating that the scarecrow Nike was using his hands and feet in the passage, running like a pig and a wolf, scratching the walls at a very high frequency, just like circling in the passage and skipping stones. This made his speed increase continuously, and he had obviously run far away.

So Isabella also started to speed up. She activated the implant, rushing, rushing, rushing... In the secret passage that kept turning, in the sewer that was about to enter, there was no long enough straight distance, and the high-speed implant could only half store power and half explode, shaking and making people uncomfortable. At this time, the medical implant began to intervene to help her relieve the pressure on her nerves. Isabella had long been accustomed to this state, and did not find it unbearable, but she definitely wanted something better. Especially after seeing Zhuang Xuteng's martial arts performance in the continuous movement in the passage, her desire to get him became stronger.

"You can't run away at all!" Isabella thought to herself: "You don't understand how big the gap between us in combat power is!"

Soon, the secret passage came to the end. Pushing open a half-open door, Isabella found that the water of the Pei River was flowing in front of her, and she was in the last open-air part of a drainage ditch.

There was no trace of Naike in the field of vision.
