I'm not really the lord of the abyss

In the early morning of the next day, Gaudi came to find Lu Mi secretly again, saying that he had already contacted those undercover agents last night.

They said they knew it, and they would send a suitable person to help him after a while, so that he could wait here with peace of mind.

In addition, they also mentioned one thing -

"There will be an auction involving their influence in the near future, which will be held in the waters outside the Blue Steel Empire."

This was revealed by the person who contacted Gaudi after he deliberately emphasized his "isolation and helplessness".

The man attached great importance to this matter in his words, as if it was a recent major event organized by them.He also specifically emphasized that Gaudi should not be involved, so as not to reveal any flaws.

auctions?

Lu Mi murmured.

"You've done a good job." After a while, he raised his eyes slightly, "For the time being, please stay put and report if there is any situation."

"Yes, my lord." Gaudi stepped back respectfully with a look of satisfaction in finding the organization.

After breakfast, Xikes found Lu Mi and said that the president wanted to see him.

"President?" Lu Mi was stunned for three seconds, and then belatedly remembered that when Donald first introduced him, he did say that there were four people in total.

Except for Xikes, Donald, and Lu Mi himself, the rest is the branch president of the K8 branch.

But anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence would not specifically emphasize the word "fen", so they are called "chairman".

"You've been here for a few days. It's okay to say that it's an internship period. Now I plan to officially enter your name into the system. From now on, you will be an official member of our branch, so naturally you have to meet your immediate boss."

Xikes seemed to be afraid that he would be nervous, and he said in relief: "Don't worry, he won't embarrass you, and it will be over soon, but you..." He suddenly showed an indescribable toothache expression, "Do you remember the image of the president? It is not equal to the image of the branch, our branch is still very serious."

oh?What you say makes people curious.

Doesn't sound like a very reliable meeting?

The two walked through the small garden of the manor and circled several corridors before arriving in front of a rather remote building.Six said that it was because the president didn't like excitement.

Up to the second floor, Xikes led Lu Mi all the way to a white office, knocked symbolically a few times, and pushed the door open without waiting for a response from inside.

Lu Mi followed behind, and as soon as he entered the door, the aroma of food filled his nostrils.

Immediately, I saw a man who looked about 30 years old, sitting on an office chair and cooking hot pot.

The room was filled with mist from the pot, and the sound of boiling water was heard. The table was filled with self-service ingredients and platters, all skewered with bamboo sticks.

"!" Xicks' expression changed immediately, and blue veins popped out visible to the naked eye on his forehead, and he shouted, "Didn't I tell you that I would bring someone to see you this morning and ask you to clean up this place!"

It was the first time for Lu Mi to see Xi Kesi so irritable.

Then he thought that Xix always looked like a social animal dying of overwork, and the scene in front of him... well, he always felt that he had found the reason why Xix was so hard.

"That's why I've said it all, there's no need for people to make this trip in vain." The man said nonchalantly without looking up, "I'm neither rich nor beautiful, but I have the title of president, why waste it?" Everyone's time."

"Even if it's just a name, show the courage of the president!" Xi Kes frowned fiercely, "at least make a good impression on the young people, instead of being completely disappointed with our branch."

"..."

The man seemed to sigh, and put down the bamboo stick in his hand, "All right, all right, let me see..."

His eyes fell on Lu Mi, and his words stopped abruptly.

Behind the diffuse white mist, the man's eyes seemed to widen slightly.

At the same time, Lu Mi finally saw the other party's appearance clearly.What caught him a little attention was the man's left eye—it was a prosthetic eye, and Lu Mi even saw a series of green data flashing through that eye at this moment.

"How is it?" Xicks seemed to know the ability of that eye very well, smiled proudly, and snorted, "It's a good seed!"

"..."

There was silence for about five seconds.

The man stretched out his hand to cover his left eye, and a particularly wonderful look appeared on his unruly face, which finally boiled down to deep and complicated.

"Do you have any ambitions?" The man ignored Xi Kesi and asked Lu Mi suddenly.

ambition?

After thinking for less than a second, Lu Mi replied calmly, "I hope to live a calm and comfortable life for the rest of my life."

Xiks on the side was taken aback when he heard the words, and then hinted with crazy eyes.Wrong, wrong, shouldn't extraordinary people pursue exciting and passionate adventures?What the hell is the description of such a salted fish?

Unexpectedly, the man burst into laughter when he heard this, he seemed to be very happy, and stopped for half a minute, "Lu Mi, right? I admire you very much! You are very enlightened!"

This was the first person who responded positively to his wish, and Lu Mi's favorability with this president couldn't help but rise by [-], barely offsetting the unhappiness of being craved by hot pot early in the morning.

Xiks next to him has already begun to wonder if it was a wrong decision to bring Lu Mi here. He originally planned to let men inspire young people to make progress!

But neither of the other two people cared about this.

Afterwards, the man rummaged through the documents that had been removed from the table, "Since you are already an official member of the branch, it just so happens that I just received a task that suits you."

Xix looked at the number on it and couldn't help being surprised, "Isn't this the task of the Operations Division? It's too dangerous."

This task was originally issued to all K-star divisions, but the other divisions felt that this task was too hot, and after pushing and shoving, they kicked it to them like a football.

He was still thinking about how to refuse without a trace, so he arranged for Lu Mi directly now!

However, the man didn't look at him, he just sat quietly and looked at Lu Mi.

Lu Mi paused for a second, then walked over unhurriedly, reaching out to take it.He accidentally glanced nearby and found that the left leg of the man sitting on the chair was also a prosthetic limb, but he didn't show any surprise.

The smile on the man's lips deepened.

The fire under the boiler went out at some point, and the man didn't care.

Lu Mi looked down at the document in his hand——

According to the document, some giants in the underground world will jointly hold a large-scale auction in the near future.At the same time, many forces from the underground world, mercenaries, illegal transcendental organizations, nobles were invited... When the time comes, many parties will be present, which seems to be a rare feast belonging to the dark side.

Another auction?It's not the same as Gaudí said.

While asking Lu Mi to read the documents, the president explained slowly——

"According to the meaning above, this auction will be held in a sea area west of the Blue Steel Empire, on a luxury cruise ship sailing in real time."

"At that time, there will be three finale items in the auction, and we are asked to bid for the penultimate item among them."

"Auctioned?" Lu Mi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said surprisingly, "Aren't you going to destroy the auction directly?"

"Good courage! Unfortunately, not everyone has it." The president rubbed his chin and said slowly, "We all hope that this world will be bright everywhere, but reality is reality after all. There are some things that you know exist, but you just There is no way to take it, so I can only choose to compromise part of it.”

Just like this auction, the nobles on the invitation list-the high-level or powerful people in these countries, don't they know that such a gathering is illegal?They knew it, but they still went, and even had a cooperative investment with it behind the scenes.

Including the illegal transcendents, no one knows how many working transcendents are operating in vests without permission.

All in all, there is no one who can take the lead in uprooting it, and there is no ability to completely destroy it, so you can only obediently follow the methods prescribed by others to get what you want.

"So," the president smiled and waited for the silver-eyed youth to make a decision, "Do you want to accept this mission?"

Lu Mi lowered her eyes lightly, then closed the document in her hand, raised her eyes, "Got it."

"Then I'll just wait for the good news." The president leaned back on the chair and waved his hand, "You can hit the auction price at will, anyway, they will reimburse the things they want, and they don't need to save money for them. If If you see any gadgets you like, you can buy them together, and then they will be included in the public expenses."

"Hey..." Xicks vaguely reminded the other party that enough is enough, although, although it is not impossible to do it quietly, but don't say it so openly!

The chairman has a straight face.

When Lu Mi left the office, Xi Kesi asked the president: "How is it?"

Chairman: "How about what?"

Xikes: "Lu Mi, you have no love for his talent, do you want to guide him?"

He knew who this man used to be.

Although the man is unkempt now, he was indeed one of the few people who almost touched the highest point of all superhumans in the past, if he wanted to...

The president seemed to smile, "Me? I can't teach him."

The spiritual power overflowing from that young man was integrated into one body, and it seemed to blend in all directions, and it could not tolerate another person's intervention at all. It seemed that it had its own operating system, and even he couldn't see it through.

Besides—

The president slowly stroked his left eye, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he took off the prosthetic eye.

The prosthetic eye was lying in the palm of his hand, and it had already started to sputter out chaotic arcs, and it went completely dark as if the electricity was cut off.

——Just wanted to try to analyze the opponent's power, and received a "warning"?

It seems that it does not depend on the opponent's will, it is like a passive ability... I always feel that it is a bit of a foul.

"Even you say that!?" Xicks didn't hide his surprise.

The president looked at Xi Kesi who knew nothing, and said slowly: "Besides, what he said is clear, and it is obvious that his ambition is not here. Even if you cherish your talent, you should also consider my own opinion."

"But..." Xicks struggled, "He only came into contact with the extraordinary world not long ago, and there is still such a vast world waiting for him..."

"Could it be the headquarters you're talking about?" The president smiled inexplicably, "That's not a good place."

Before Xix spoke again, the president gently put his hand on his prosthetic limb.

"Xikes, I'm from there. I know better than you."

"Now there, it's a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. That will only destroy him."

Just like him now.Lost all the glory of the past, was exiled here.

Xix fell silent with a heartbeat, and quickly changed the subject, "Have you filled out the financial reporting form given to you a week ago?"

The president immediately changed his expression when he heard the words, pretending to be calm while feeling guilty: "Isn't there still one day before the deadline? It's not too late to write until tomorrow!"

Six immediately said hehe—tomorrow?Tomorrow you'll throw it at me again!

He slapped a blank piece of paper on the table without mercy, "Right now! I'll watch you write!"

President: QAQ

A day later, the bald president who almost stayed up late was still writing hard under the urging of Xikes, and Lu Mi had already set foot on the boat to find the giant ship in the sea.

The author has something to say:

The president is actually a hidden boss.But Lu Mi will be more surprised (scared) by them.

In the K8 branch, hidden dragons and crouching tigers are so terrifying.
