Rocot: Reborn

"Long time no see? Do we know each other?" Rocot got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and asked calmly.

As he spoke, he calmly looked at the uninvited guest in front of him. The black windbreaker, sunglasses, pistol, and arrogant attitude...all these showed that this man was definitely not a good person.

"You are a forgetful person, Roccod." The man sneered and put his sunglasses into his pocket. "It's no wonder, for someone like you who forgets who you are when you climb to a high place, it's understandable that you have a bad memory."

As the man spoke, he walked into the command room. Two bodyguards in black followed closely behind him, scanning everything around them with cold eyes.

"Who are you?" Roccod felt his patience was running out. He was annoyed by the man's mysterious tricks. "If you are here to laugh at me, then congratulations, you have achieved your goal. Now you can go away."

Hearing this, the man was not angry at all. Instead, he burst into laughter, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Laugh at you?" He laughed breathlessly, pointing at Rocot's nose. "Do you deserve it?"

"You..." Roccod was suddenly speechless, a surge of anger rushing to his head.

This man, how dare he look down on me like this? !

"Lockold, you don't really think that you are still the king of the night who could call the wind and rain?" The man restrained his smile and his eyes became sharp. "I came here today to tell you a fact. You are just a chess piece in our hands, a chess piece that can be discarded at any time!"

The man's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Rocot was stunned on the spot.

piece?

He, Rocot, the former King of the Dark Night, was actually called a pawn? !

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Rocot asked coldly, suppressing his anger.

"Nonsense?" The man sneered, took out a chip from his pocket and threw it in front of Rokod, "Take a look for yourself, see who you have done all these years for?!"

Locot picked up the chip in confusion and inserted it into the terminal device beside him.

The next second, his face turned pale.

Stored in the chip was a record of all his actions over the years, including his secret support of forces, provoking wars, and even crimes at the cost of innocent lives!

And the final destination of all these records turned out to be a name he could never have imagined in his dreams:

"Star Group"!

"How is this possible?!" Roccod shook his head in disbelief. "This is impossible! Why would the Starry Group do this?!"

"Why?" The man walked up to Roccod, leaned over, and whispered in his ear, "Because everything you have, including your life, belongs to the Starry Group!"

"You..." Roccod raised his head suddenly and wanted to refute, but found himself speechless.

Yes, everything he has was given by the Star Group.

Without the support of the Xingyao Group, he would be nothing more than a nobody, a waste that could be bullied at will!

"Now, do you understand your situation?" The man patted Roccod's cheek, his tone full of teasing and mockery, "But you don't have to be too sad. After all, for a chess piece like you that has no use value, we can always find a replacement."

"You..." Roccod gritted his teeth and stared at the man in front of him, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness. He wanted to resist and prove himself, but he found that he was completely powerless.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you something." The man seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to Rocot and said, "Your little lover should have been controlled by us now. If you don't want her to get into trouble, you'd better be obedient."

"You dare!" Rocot stood up suddenly, grabbed the man by the collar, and roared, "If you dare to touch her hair, I swear, I will make you pay the price!"

"The price?" The man smiled contemptuously. "Just you?"

Rokod's fingers tightened, almost crushing the man's collar. His scarlet eyes stared at the guy who was playing with his fate, and he squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "If you dare to touch her, I promise that Xingyao Group will regret messing with me, Rokod!"

The man chuckled, not taking Rocot's threat seriously. He slowly straightened his collar that was wrinkled by Rocot, and said frivolously, "Oh, you are quite arrogant. What, do you still want to avenge your little lover? With your current appearance that is neither human nor ghost?"

"You..." Roccod was furious, but he was powerless to refute. Indeed, he was now living under someone else's roof, and all his strength came from the "gift" of the Starry Group. In the final analysis, he was just a knife in the hands of the Starry Group, a knife that could be discarded after use.

"However," the man changed the subject, with a playful smile on his face, "Star Group has always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you are really capable and make great contributions for us, maybe your little lover can come back to you..."

The man deliberately prolonged his tone, pronouncing the word "little lover" very clearly, with a playful gleam in his eyes. He knew that for Roccod now, nothing was more important than that woman.

Rokod took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to break up with Xingyao Group. He had to be patient and wait for the right time to finally turn the tables and return all the humiliation!

"What do you want me to do?" Rocot's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was a whisper coming from the depths of hell.

The man smiled with satisfaction. He knew that Rocot would give in. He took out a metal box from his pocket, gently placed it on the table, and slowly pushed it in front of Rocot.

"Inside this is a new technological achievement that is powerful enough to change the world," the man lowered his voice with a hint of irrepressible excitement, "Star Group needs you to bring it back to the headquarters."

Roccod looked at the metal box in front of him, feeling a little uneasy. He knew the Starry Group's style of doing things too well. This so-called "scientific and technological achievement" must be hiding a huge danger.

"I need to know more," Rocot raised his head and stared at the man sharply, "Tell me, what on earth is this?"

The man did not answer directly. Instead, he walked to the window, overlooking the brightly lit city below, and said quietly: "You know, this world is heading towards destruction..."

Rocot frowned, not understanding what the man meant.

The man turned around, his eyes flashing with madness: "Energy depletion, environmental pollution, frequent wars... Humans are like a group of beasts trapped in a cage, killing each other for the last resources. And we, the Star Group, have found the only way to save this world..."

He pointed at the metal box and said word by word: "Eternal Life!"

Rocot's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at the man in disbelief. Eternal life? How is this possible?

"Do you think I'm kidding?" The man seemed to see through Roccod's thoughts, and a mocking arc appeared on his lips. "Roccod, you underestimate the power of technology. We have found a way to break through the limits of life. As long as you are willing..."

"I refuse." Rocot interrupted the man without hesitation, his tone cold and firm.

Eternal life? What a tempting word, but Rocot knew in his heart that this was just another abyss, an abyss that would drag mankind into endless darkness.

"Are you sure?" The man narrowed his eyes, his tone threatening, "Don't forget the situation of your little lover. Are you sure you want to give up the happiness that is within your reach for an illusory future?"

Rocot was silent. The woman's voice, appearance and smile appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with struggle and pain.

"I can give you some time to think about it," the man didn't seem to be in a hurry. He walked to Roccod, patted his shoulder, and said meaningfully, "I hope you can make the right choice."

After saying that, the man turned and left. Only Roccod was left in the room, sitting quietly on a chair. The metal box emitted a cold light, as if silently tempting him...
