The final gentleman

[Reagan’s perspective]

Unlike William,

Ever since Reagan stood in front of the headquarters building of the Black Astragalus Company, his mechanical body that had not yet achieved ascension had continued to feel uneasy, and even generated strong currents on its own to prevent him from entering the building.

Because the body detects a certain presence in the building that can completely destroy everything Reagan has built so far, bringing the so-called 'mechanical ascension' to an end.

When I took the elevator to the top of the headquarters and saw the boss's true form, I finally determined the source of this uneasiness.

When Reagan was working with a group of old guys who liked to do research, he used his free time to read some important information about ancient times that they had recorded.

Among them, there are mentions of "special groups" in each epidemic area, second only to the owner of the epidemic.

For example, the ‘Seven Marquis’ of Scarlet Manor, the ‘High Table’ of Cancer Palace, etc., they symbolize the existence of the head among the silver circles, and cooperate with the plague lord to jointly manage the army under their command.

As the former source of the epidemic, the [Parasitic Nest] naturally has such a group, which is called "The Protozoon of Hallownest".

Unlike the seven Marquises, there are only three Hallownests and each one is extremely powerful.

The power here not only refers to the parasitic protozoa themselves, but the "hosts" parasitized by these protozoa also reach the level of the head of the Silver Circle. Such host carriers are often called "Holynest", which means the most sacred and advanced container. .

When this kind of host is combined with the parasitic protozoa, it will show an extremely powerful posture. In ancient times, any sick person would show awe when talking about Hallownest protozoa.

It is precisely because of this power that outsiders immediately noticed this group of parasites when the war came, and did not hesitate to spend a large amount of troops to target the parasite nest.

In the end, with the death of the plague master, the disappearance of Hallownest, the main nest collapsed.

One of them, the "Holynest Protozoa", is also the strongest protozoa in the legend known as the "King's Right Hand", and its theme color is black.

"Holynest, Bourne Douglas!"

When Reagan retrieved this ancient and distant name from his memory, the vocal cords in his throat could not help but tremble when he pronounced it.

"You actually recognize me... I haven't appeared in the old world for a long, long time."

The boss looked at the fat young human with some surprise, and at the same time directly confirmed his identity.

Although William on the side didn't know what Hallownest was, he could probably guess something because the boss was able to establish an organization of this size and the pressure that was constantly being released from the other party.

President Bourne politely invited the two of them to sit down. "Let's get straight to the point and talk about the blood people. Can you tell me the details of the death of Greedy Glid?"

William briefly explained the situation in the human organization, which also pointed out that Grid destroyed himself largely due to greed.

"There's another thing... after I killed Gleed, I deliberately kept his brain active and threw his head back to the old world, directly declaring war on those blood people."

Hearing this, the boss here expressed excitement on his face, "Using Gleed's head to declare war? Very creative, very thoughtful... I really don't know what they looked like when the heads were delivered to the blood people. What an expression.

The only pity is that the truly dangerous guy 'Gluttony' Gratoni could not be completely killed, otherwise the overall strength of the Blood People would be greatly reduced.

And that guy was smart enough not to choose the channel controlled by my company's station to return, otherwise I would have rushed over to intercept him as soon as possible. "

"Well... Marquis Gratoni's devouring ability is indeed very dangerous. Mr. Bourne, what do you think about the blood people?" William also asked the question he was most concerned about. If he could get the full support of the Black Tape Company, he would have a better chance of winning. Out a lot.

The boss stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

"These damn bloodworms are still continuing their madness from ancient times. They attacked our company's shuttle bus without any negotiation and even killed all the crew members.

I will definitely deal with this matter.

But because the Black Tape Company is at an important stage of development, trying to deal with these crazy bloodworms will also implicate the leather factory, which will directly cause the company's development to stagnate.

You have also seen that the company I founded has reached such a height in a short period of time. If there are any problems, it will attract pressure from various forces, and even [Rongchang] will secretly have a foot in it.

Therefore, I can only bury this matter in my heart for the time being. When the company has developed into the largest transfer company and is completely stable, I will go to settle the accounts with those bloody people.

However, since Mr. William you have declared war on these bugs, it seems that this matter can be moved forward a little. "

When it comes to this,

President Bourne turned around, and the parasite in his body looked directly at William through the living eyes on the mask.

"How are you going to defeat these refugees from the old era?"

William still answered in a normal tone:

“I currently belong to the [Circus of Fear], and my boss happens to hate the blood people as well, so he should be very supportive of me in this matter.

The most important thing is myself. I must improve [qualitatively] before launching a general attack on the leather factory. The reason why Glied was able to be killed this time relied more on external factors.

In addition, there may be other forces involved, but I am not sure yet. "

"Circus, hmm~"

Bourne became thoughtful after hearing the name of the circus.

"Come see me again when you are ready for official action... I will provide sufficient military support by then, and I will be there in person if necessary."

"Thank you Mr. Byrne."

President Bourne sat back in his seat and used a pen to draw something that looked like a parasite on the white paper, "By the way, William, since you are from the circus, I just have one thing to ask you.

I heard that there is a very special parasite inside the circus, and it operates in the form of the parasite itself. It does not rely on or disdain any host.

He even killed all his own tribe, the "Amoeba". "

"Ah this..." The character described by the boss was too familiar to William, "Mr. Bourne's internal information about the circus is forbidden to be leaked. I can only tell you that there is such a person, and I also know."

"How is the strength?"

"very nice."

"Can you arrange for me to meet with this guy? Don't worry, I won't harm him. I just want to see what kind of special parasite he is."

"I will try to communicate with you when I get back, as long as you don't have any ill intentions, Mr. Bourne."

"As long as they do not infringe on the rights and interests of my company, I will be friendly to everyone. In the past, the war [Parasitic Nest] was severely damaged, and a large number of parasites died in the war. I am still very happy to see the rise of geniuses from the same race. of.

When do you plan to return to the circus? "

"I took a month's leave when I came out. I still have about half a month left."

"Half a month?

How about this, you and your friends stay with me for the rest of the time. With your talents, you may be able to learn some useful things from my company, allowing you to achieve [qualitative] changes in advance.

During this period, you will also enjoy the company's high treatment. If you have any questions, you can come here to see me directly, and I will open the highest authority for you. "

"Thank you Mr. Byrne."

"I haven't thanked you for killing Gleed yet. You have been favored by [The First Abyss] at such a young age and you have done this. If you had not joined the circus, I would have lured you to me at all costs. .

Of course, if Mr. Reagan is interested in joining our company, I will be very happy.

With your 'identity' you can enter our R\u0026D department without much assessment and verification. Let's take an in-depth visit in the next few days. If you have ideas in this regard, you can choose to stay, even if you sign a temporary contract. . "

"OK."

Reagan showed great respect when facing the famous 'Holynest'. After bowing, he followed William out of the office.

President Bourne looked at the two figures leaving and couldn't help but sigh,

"After humans in the outside world combined with diseases like mine, such talents can appear at the same time... It seems that [world infection] is not a coincidence but intentional. The future world structure and operating model may even be affected by such young people." People change.

But it really should change...otherwise, we will still be defeated. "
