Chapter 294 92 How can the organization carry out its work if all members mess around like you?


Chapter 294 92. If all members are messing around like you, how can the organization continue to work?

When Mr. Hunter used his elusive cross-border teleportation to arrive at Osborne Tower, he saw Mason, who was giving him a headache, chatting happily with the captain of the afterlife team.

Seeing how the two of them chatted and laughed, people who didn't know thought they were trying to get their way.

By the way, when did the relationship between Team K and Team Afterlife become so good?

Xili looked at the two people in front of her with suspicious eyes.

She doubted whether these two guys had formed some private alliance behind her back. Morgan Blackhand's mercenary character was unlikely to be so blatant in causing trouble, but considering that Mason was here, everything seemed to be explained. .

Since recruiting Team K, Mr. Hunter has developed this mindset through unexpected events. As long as there is something wrong, Mason is the first person to come to him.

She even suspected that the water in her shower last night was not hot enough because Mason had tampered with her office.

"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

Hunter Xili stepped forward and said quietly:

"Suggest I sit in on it?"

"Master Hunter is here. You must have something important to talk about. We, the line-filling soldiers, will not disturb you."

Captain Morgan stood up and laughed. He pretended to glance at the military watch in his hand and said:

"I have to go see the operations at the transfer gate, and support other companion teams by the way. I heard that several of your teams are here to participate in the grand event. There must be a relationship between these companions.
< br>

You guys talk first, I'm leaving. ”

He bid farewell to the hunter in a friendly manner, and Old Aunt Rogge beside him nodded slightly, and then quickly left the place with Judy. The secret place that was lively just now and chatting about the past in Night City suddenly became quiet. .

This makes Mr. Hunter suspect that he is an unpopular bad guy.

But she did nothing.

Well, so this must be all Mason Cooper's fault!

"Sit down, what do you look like standing there?"

Mason took the initiative to stand up and pull out a chair for Mr. Hunter, but the latter did not sit down but leaned against the table, crossed his arms and stared at Mason.

The Alice sword she used to disguise herself was "grabbed" by Mason, a bad guy, in the name of doing a mission. Team K never said anything about returning it, and she didn't take the initiative to ask for it.

So now she is using a black two-handed sword, which is carried behind the black robe.

Mason obviously recognized the sword.

If he remembered correctly, this sword should be called "Jiweier", which means "swallow" in the Elvish language. It was also a witcher coming-of-age gift given to her by the old witcher Gay Luotuo.

"What? Isn't it enough to take my sword? Are you going to take my sword with you?"

Mason's eyes were quickly sensed by Shirley, and the hunter said unhappily:

"What on earth did you talk about with Old A? Why did you create such a big fight? I have never seen Quint being so aggressive. He also told me to put down everything I was doing and come here immediately to receive what you have in hand.


They even sent people to wait at the Star Castle to escort it back.

It seems like you really found something amazing. ”

"I've told you, don't ask, don't cause trouble for yourself, this thing is really hot."

Mason took out a very special box from his luggage.

The beating yellow lightning on its surface is like a magic lock. This is the seal of the Speed ​​Force to ensure that the matrix blueprint stored in this box cannot be cracked at will.

He handed the box to Shirley, who took it in his hand and threw it into his luggage without turning around and leaving. This action made Mason raise his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"Didn't you say that someone is waiting at the Star Castle? If you don't send it back quickly, your boss will be anxious."

"I just want to chat with you a little more, what? Don't you want to?"

Xili moved her neck and said:

"As for this support operation, you have also seen that I have sent all the forces at my disposal here. Although it is nominally a taboo transfer order from a higher authority, all the procedures are followed.

But this is equivalent to them taking the initiative to disclose the hidden power of Quint in the Association of Stars. I think Old A must not have done this just because of your coercion.

I think there is a deeper meaning behind his actions.”

"Oh, I see."

Mason sat on the chair and nodded. He looked at Shirley and said:

"Are you going to let me analyze it for you?"

Ciri didn't answer.

But her silence itself was the answer.

This is the direction that Mason hopes to see. He had previously told Shirley to discuss it with him before doing anything. Seeing that his boss actually did this, Mason was naturally happy to use his brain.

He took out a bottle of Brown Owl and poured it into his mouth to shake his tired spirit, then rubbed his forehead and said to Shirley:

"This means that our 'lurking' phase is over, and we must act openly and openly next! If you follow my thoughts, I will tell you that this is a sign that Quint intends to formally intervene in the power structure of the Star Council.
< br>

Maybe they let you lurk and act stealthily before because of their own lack of strength.

But after accepting the old Green Goblin's vote of rebels who were lurking in various institutions throughout the Hope Council, their size quickly increased.

Speaking of which, do you know Old A’s status in the Hope Council? ”

Mason asked, and Shirley hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:

"I know that he is one of the permanent directors, and he happened to be the rotating speaker recently because he was very worried about the third impact."

"This is it."

Mason nodded and said:

"I learned some inside information from the conqueror I captured before. He told me that after the third impact, the weak worlds that could be plundered at will have basically been eliminated, and the remaining ones are hard bones.
< br>

As the pioneers and pioneers of the Council, the stars will face a very serious situation in the future, and we may suffer continued losses.

You see, I'm used to thinking about things from a dark perspective.

If I were to handle this

I will let other teams move and save my own people, so that in the severe situation of massive losses, those pioneers who don't want to be used as cannon fodder can only move closer to me if they want to survive.

In this way, the lower-level pioneers will gradually be controlled, and if they find ways to operate at the top, it may only take a few months to seize control of the Stars Association.

At least some control. ”

Having said this, he stopped and looked at the thoughtful Ciri. After giving the latter a few seconds to sort out his thoughts, he expressed his conclusion.

"So, Old A takes this opportunity to ask you and us to stand up openly to express an attitude to everyone in the Stars Association.

That is to say, they have a new choice, and they can turn to us when they can't survive in the original faction.

The choice doesn't matter yet.

But as long as the situation changes, given the cunning and greedy nature of the pioneers of the Stars Society, Quint's power in the Stars Society will grow rapidly.

This is a conspiracy.

You don't have to worry about being feared by warlocks or swordsmen because of this. Unless the forces behind them want to provoke a sharp struggle at the top, they will just pretend they don't see it.

I'm not talking nonsense or deceiving you, Shirley, I have evidence. ”

Mason stood up, approached Shirley, and whispered:

"Old A promised to give me the vacant A-level seat when he talked to me. He is already planning to fill the Twelve-member Council with his own people. Has he told you about this?"

Shirley was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

She said hoarsely:

"I originally planned to give that seat to the Afterlife Team"

"Then give it to them."

Mason smiled and said:

"I have reached an agreement with Morgan Blackhand. I don't want that seat. You will be the one to promote him to the Council of Twelve. The Afterlife Team will compensate me privately."

"Huh?"

Mason's words made Ciri hesitate for a moment, and the Great Master of Exploration said softly:

"He said he would give it to you. Will your refusal so readily cause you trouble? Didn't you say before that they wanted to beat you in this B-level promotion mission?"

"Trouble? No, I won't be in trouble."

Mason shook his head, patted Shirley on the shoulder, and said meaningfully:

"Because this is your decision and it has nothing to do with me.

As the Exploration Master of the Star Club, you have the responsibility to consider the development of the organization. You must strictly control the most elite seats and resources and not waste them on low-level personnel like me who always like to cause trouble.

No matter from the perspective of strength, experience and loyalty, the Afterlife Team is much more suitable than the K Team.

Old A must know your plan. He may want to create a rift between our two "close comrades". I won't let him do it, so I'll make it clear to you in advance.

Now it depends on whether you can withstand the pressure.

Xili, you may be used to obeying, but you should also know that the power in your hands is not given to you by Old A. Your management power over the Stars Society comes from the approval of Lord Destiny. ”

Mason said thoughtfully:

"This means that you actually have a choice, and once you have a choice, you will have the capital to resist when faced with Old A's orders. The worst that can happen is that you will turn to Lord Destiny and become a loyal dog of the devil.

Of course, I'm talking about extreme cases.

But trust me!

Old A has spent so much energy and resources on you, there is no way he would fall out with you over such a trivial matter.

You used to be too good, stupid, and innocent, so you were easily manipulated by them.

You have to learn to argue with reason, and you have to learn to properly use the power in your hands. Believe me, if you use this power well, you can even make Lao A fear you. ”

"I admit that your previous analysis was reasonable, but now you are beginning to trick me into giving up my allies and trusting you."

Ciri shook her head.

She said to Mason:

"You should give me some time to think about it."

"I gave you time. It has been almost ten days since we last talked."

Mason shook his head and said:

"This long time has been enough for me to defeat Zhenglian twice, and you still say that you are not ready. Obviously, Ciri, you cannot make a decision based on your own thinking.

The swordsman's evaluation of you is very accurate. You are not suitable for playing tricks with them.

But I won't force you to make a choice either.

Let me give you a suggestion, my good boss, think about your goals again, clarify your goals, and compare them with what they want you to do.

And what I want you to do with me.

Use this stark comparison to determine who would be more beneficial for you to go with. Also, don’t believe the nonsense that it will be better if one person is in charge of the system of the Association of Stars.

This organization is based on using soul curses to maintain connections. If you have read one or two fairy tales, you should know that those who use this model to maintain their existence are usually big villain organizations.

We are always bad people

Don't really expect bad people to do what good people can do. ”

After saying that, Mason took a step back, looked at the time on his watch, and said to Shirley:

"It's time for you to go back. If you don't go back, they will be suspicious. Take this thing back to them, then let it go and concentrate on doing your own thing."

"Yeah."

Ciri nodded and reached out to open a door leading to the Star Castle, but before stepping inside, she glanced suspiciously at the box sealed by the Speed ​​Force in her hand.

She said in a whisper that only she and Mason could hear:

"Did you really give Old A all the information he wanted?"

"Everything they should see is inside. Don't worry, it's enough for them."

Mason showed a flawless smile and said seriously:

"Besides, my B-level promotion mission has been completed, right?"

"Still needs review."

Xili curled her lips under the mask and said:

"But just following the process, this matter has alarmed the rotating chairman of the council. If the knowledge you brought us back is really so valuable, then no one will dare to block your promotion.

To be honest, even if he really promoted you to an A-class member, not many people would complain.

Although everyone has their own thoughts, they are all for the continuation of existence.

Have you really decided to turn down this seat?

Maybe you still don’t know what Class A personnel means. Do you need me to introduce to you the benefits of Class A personnel? ”

"No need, I already understood."

Mason waved his hands and said in a long voice:

"The resource treasury of Star Castle is open to all A-level personnel. Before each mission, you can borrow the rare treasures stored in the organization for free, and you can even apply for long-term holding.

Becoming a member of the Council of Twelve means that all the resources of the Stars Association will be allocated, not to mention the treatment of the main players and substitutes, and you don't even have to pay for the army of servants.

You can check all the knowledge in the secret area of ​​the Great Library of Stars at will, and you can apply to use the ‘Destiny Machine’ once a month.

The limit on the number of base worlds will also be lifted. As far as I know, A-class personnel can hold up to five resource worlds as bases at the same time.

It can be said that joining the Council of Twelve is equivalent to buying a direct ticket to the 'destination of doomsday'. Even if everything really dies, A-class personnel will definitely be the ones who can survive until the end.

I know very well what it means to agree to Old A, Shirley. ”

He looked into the eyes under the hunter's mask and said:

"But you also know my situation. I still need to ensure a certain degree of covert action. It's not yet time for me to show my face. And compared to these easy-to-get benefits, I value your friendship more.

We will definitely become companions.

Do you know why? ”

Xili was indeed a little moved, but she still joked in a dumb voice:

"Because I have a conscience?"

"It's more than that."

Mason shrugged and said:

"I just believe that the daughter raised by Lord Geralt will never become a bad person. Finally, do me a favor and make a decision as soon as possible.

A guy like Lao A wouldn't let me be so carefree and aloof.

He has many ways to force me to truly join you, and if you also want to give yourself one more choice, then keeping me is equivalent to helping yourself. ”

"Yes, I will."

Ciri agreed, and then returned to the office of Star Castle through her own rift. Sitting on the sofa in front of her was a man wearing a leather jacket and jeans.

The latter was holding a cup of coffee and admiring the photos of the hunter hanging on the wall.

"The things are back."

She said to the man in front of her:

"It's time for you to leave. It will trouble me very much if a conqueror commander appears openly in the Star Castle."

"I'm sorry for causing you any trouble, Hunter."

The man put down his coffee cup, stood up and apologized in a gentle tone:

"It happened suddenly, and there was nothing I could do about it. But before I left, I wanted to go somewhere. You made a tomb for Geralt, right?

Can you let me go and pay homage? ”

"No!"

Xili refused coldly:

"Stop being so hypocritical, Steve Rogers! My father once trusted you so much, and what you gave him in return was a betrayal, without your whistleblower"

"That's not a snitch, Ciri."

The blond man in front of him sighed and put the box in his hand properly.

He explained:

"We should serve the interests of the majority. Geralt knew what he would encounter before he decided to act. He is a true hero.

If possible, I would rather die in his place."

"But he is dead and you are still alive."

Xili pointed at the door and scolded:

"Go away, hypocritical guy, before I draw my sword!" (End of Chapter)
