Pastor's Tantra

After discussing the matter, Vice President Boca took Aiwass to a small banquet.

This was a small gathering of less than ten people, and the attendees were all middle-level members of Lloyd's Club. They are clearly not the rare transcendants within Lloyd's. Because Vice President Boka didn't mention a word about the Noble Red Society, and they obviously had no idea about it.

Vice President Boca announced that he personally invited Awas Moriarty, who was recently awarded the Order of the Sword by the Queen, to join Lloyd's.

With the guarantee of the vice-president, these people were very enthusiastic in front of the serious-looking Vice-President of Boca.

They are all well-known businessmen in Glass Island, and the one with the lowest net worth is also the owner of the second largest construction company in Lloyd District. They are all "corporate members" who join Lloyd's as a company, and are at a higher level than those "individual members" who borrow money or buy insurance in their own names.

Even among these people, there were several who knew Aiwass from before. They had been friends with old Moriarty in the past, and one of them was introduced to Lloyd's by old Moriarty.

Apparently none of them knew about Professor Moriarty's death. After learning that Aiwass had joined Lloyd's, their first reaction was to celebrate.

Because in their opinion, this obviously means that Professor Moriarty is planning to let Aiwass inherit the family business. That's why I asked the Vice President of Boca to invite Aiwass in and get in touch with these "old friends".

Of course, these people may not be of any use. If they knew that Professor Moriarty was "in trouble", they might even backfire and add insult to injury. The vice president of Boca brought Aiwass to see them in order to make it public that "Aiwass was invited by Boca to join Lloyd's."

Although this matter may not be reported in the newspaper, these people are obviously not tight-lipped people. They will soon spread this information to their own small circle... It won't take long for the well-informed people in the Glass Island to know that Aiwass has become a member of Lloyd's and is also a member of Boca's faction. people.

This behavior actually made Aiwass feel a little amused.

Because Boca's behavior was actually not very good on the part of President Lloyd.

According to the information Aiwass just received, Lawyer York, Vice President Boca, and President Lloyd are all transcendants of the Noble Red Society. But Vice President Boca didn't want Aiwass to get to know President Lloyd.

He directly introduced Aiwass to the following people without introducing him to President Lloyd, or even notifying the president... This was obviously because he didn't want President Lloyd to refuse Aiwass's joining.

——This is completely out of process.

How can one recruit an important member—an important member who is also a spy, an aide, and a spokesman—but not bring it to the boss to take a look at, or even ask the boss whether he agrees or not?

In the previous conversation, Aiwass already knew too many things that he shouldn't know. If he refused to join, then they would have no choice but to take action.

...Similarly, if Aiwass agrees to join but Mr. Lloyd refuses, they still have to take action to silence him.

Aiwass was keenly aware of the aura of "urgency" - not only the York lawyer who was ordered to die was anxious, but even the vice president of Boca was a little anxious.

From this detail, Aiwass boldly judged: Vice President Boca and President Lloyd should have a lot of conflicts now. Lawyer York is a fence-sitter who has not yet decided whether he wants to sit on the fence.

Before that, he had not yet decided whether he would side with the president or the vice president. But now he clearly has no choice.

As a transcendent of giant hybrids and artificial cultivation, President Lloyd may be closer to the noble red side. Now also the glue between the two organizations... then he is the one who pressured York's lawyer and ordered him to kill Sherlock.

Boca should be the fence-sitter between these two organizations. Ye Yan)'s greedy instinct as a businessman made him want to use and even annex the dangerous demonologists' association; and his characteristics as a transcendent made him unwilling to transfer profits to his immediate boss, President Lloyd, and even Want to replace it.

That's why they tried to recruit Aiwass.

Recruiting Aiwass is a risky move, but businessmen are willing to take risks for the sake of profit.

Although they already know that Aiwass is a first-level demonologist, they hold Aiwass's control from two levels of force and politics, and they also induce and befriend him from two levels of property inheritance and demon knowledge. But after all, this plan is very risky, and there is a possibility of failure at any time.

To carry out such a plan so urgently and even hastily despite the risks... This actually proves from the side that the current situation of Vice President Boca is not good.

This is also normal.

Also as a transcendent, he is already very close to the previous President Lloyd. President Lloyd must be vigilant and have a sense of crisis.

But there is actually a road trap here.

Extraordinary people who have transcended the path must not deliberately suppress latecomers unless necessary, so that the other party cannot surpass themselves.

Because this kind of behavior is first of all a restraint and rebellion against the "transcendence" behavior itself; secondly, it symbolizes the fear that one's own talents have deteriorated and cannot continue to progress. On the contrary, it may make subordinates realize that their boss has become weak; and this kind of behavior from above The control and suppression of subordinates are themselves the domain of the "authoritarian" path... The more you want to control your subordinates, the easier it is to deviate from the authoritarian path.

If you want not to be surpassed by latecomers, the best way is to keep moving forward and keep improving. You cannot stop for a moment, otherwise you will be overtaken and everything you have taken away.

Therefore, competition beyond the road mostly involves competition at the same level and backstabbing by subordinates. The attitude of superiors towards subordinates will be more friendly.

President Lloyd was obviously aware of this taboo. So he couldn't take action against Boca, but that didn't mean he wasn't nervous.

"Transcending" beyond the road is not as simple and friendly as running to catch up.

The most legitimate plunder is when the weak defeats the strong. The more beautiful you win and the more things you plunder, the more power of the Path you get from this behavior that resonates with the Path. Eating death and failure to grow, this is the essence of the path to transcendence.

And if it is meaningless to rely on the strong to bully the weak, it often means that the transcendent will is weakened and blunted. On the contrary, it may stagnate one's growth or even become weaker in turn. For example, the Star Antimony Kingdom’s excuse for war can only be to “let Star Antimony remain intact as before,” “make Star Antimony great again,” and “let Star Antimony continue to expand,” but not “suppress the development of its neighbors.”

Because of this, in order to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to surpass itself again... when the transcendent surpasses the goal, he will deprive the other party of everything. Completely tear apart, defeat, and destroy the opponent without giving the opponent any chance for revenge.

Vice President Boca has clearly set his sights on the ass of the man above him.

President Lloyd still wanted to move forward, and he could not suppress Vice President Boca at this time. If he goes further, he will inherit Prince Lloyd's wish-to usurp the royal power. This is no easy task.

But he cannot openly suppress without reason, but he can "suppress the Boca Vice President by the way" within reasonable limits.

For example, using the excuse that "Aiwass has offended the Noble Red Society", deny him membership and kill him to silence him. In this way, Vice President Boka's breaking point was eliminated by him. And if Aiwass died here, the York lawyer who brought him would also be implicated.

In the opinion of Vice President Boca, things will probably end up like this. That's why he took the risk of offending President Lloyd and directly pushed for the implementation of this matter.

It seems that Noble Red and Lloyd's are ready to break up at any time... It makes sense, after all, one party is a businessman and the other party is a transcendent. Common interests alone are no longer enough to unite them; they must have a common enemy.

But now that the royal family is too weak, they are still holding back even though they are almost dead... So on the eve of victory, Noble Red and Lloyd couldn't help but start attacking each other.

——Now that the contradiction has reached this level, it’s easy.

Aiwass already knew what to do.

After repelling the group of demonologists, he could fake a scene.

...For example, in his dormitory, he arranged traces of a demon scholar using a ritual to summon a shadow demon to attack him, and then he hid directly, pretending to be himself and disappeared. Leaving a wheelchair in place will prove that you have been kidnapped.

The shadow demons of this era are difficult to contract, but it is still possible to just summon them and let them do damage. And Aiwass actually has a shadow demon, so it's easy to leave real evidence.

At this time, what would Mr. Boka think? He would only think that it was President Lloyd who had moved his hand to destroy his plan by forcibly killing Aiwass;

But what would happen to President Lloyd if he knew he didn't do it? He could only think that it was because the people on the other side of the association did not trust them and chose to take matters into their own hands - after all, Master and Disciple Da Zi were members of the association, and they had already summoned the shadow demon once.

But the association also knew that they didn't do it, so they could only doubt Lloyd's.

For other organizations, they can also use "taking an oath" to prove that they are telling the truth. However, the Noble Red Society has inherited the art of breaking promises, making the constraints of the oath meaningless.

In any case, Aiwass, who is only at the first level, and even obtained the demonological knowledge from the association when he became a demonologist, is definitely innocent. He is a pure victim. Besides, not just anyone can summon a high-level demon like Shadow Demon.

Then at this time, Aiwass can directly control the Shadow Demon to attack Lloyd's.

To put it simply, his plan is so simple that it can be summarized in one sentence - many times, the shorter the plan, the more effective it is, because it directly points to the giant's most vulnerable weakness.

——That is, "You all fake your own death, then I will fake my own death once too"!
