I'm not really the lord of the abyss

Some people in the conference hall here were about to give Lu Mi a bad shot, when the oppressive feeling of silence was broken by a surprise shout.

"Ahh, Lu Mi, it's Lu Mi!!"

Everyone frowned slightly, wanting to see who was so surprised and unruly.

At first glance, oh, it's the gold master's father.

Grant rushed in front of Lu Mi like flying, his eyes were shining like light bulbs, "I! I'm Grant, I was at the auction, do you remember!?"

Even though he asked like this, the young master's eyes were clearly as if the other party would cry on the spot if he didn't remember.

Grant's elder brother was also attracted, and put down the half-contract he had seen.

He knew how arrogant and difficult to serve his younger brother.Grant was born in the Wilwezes family, and he has several older brothers and sisters. It is very rare that the relationship between brothers and sisters in this family is extremely harmonious.

The brothers and sisters above dote on him, and he does not have the burden and troubles of inheriting the family. It can be said that he is born a winner in life.

Although this also caused Grant to be careless, sometimes he was involved in disputes between rival families, and he survived thanks to his exceptionally keen intuition, which also made the other brothers love him even more.

Grant rarely talked to anyone since then, and even his older brothers and sisters almost never saw this side of him.

The blond-haired man looked at his younger brother in astonishment, who had almost changed. When had he ever seen the other party flattering others like this before?

"Well, Grant, long time no see."

The young man who was entangled by the blond boy nodded slightly.

It was like saying hello after seeing a neighbor by chance, but considering Grant's identity, this reaction was too flat.

The blond male looked at Lu Mi curiously.

At this time, Grant couldn't wait to ask: "Why are you here? Are you also here for a meeting? I knew that with your ability, you would come to this headquarters one day! I really came here today!"

He pulled away the chair next to him again, "You can sit here! Or I can let you sit on mine. The lighting here is very good and there are cushions! You don't know that after I return to the imperial capital..."

He seemed eager to share the best things with each other, and at the same time, he was full of words and wanted to catch up on the old days.

At this time, everyone in the conference hall who was stunned reacted one by one.

Someone coughed lightly and looked at each other.

Lu Mi looked at the entire hall, a huge oval round table was placed in the very center.

In the seat directly in front sat an old man who was over fifty years old but had a white hair and a childlike face, and the rest of the people sat under him one by one, occupying more than half of the entire round table.

When Lu Mi looked at them, they were also observing the youth.

Grant seemed to sense the vaguely uncomfortable atmosphere in the air, and lowered his hands and frowned.The blond-haired man at the side knew that his younger brother was unhappy.

"Lu Mi?" Grant called out eagerly.

"I'm sorry, Grant." Lu Mi walked slowly towards the round table, "But I'm here today because I have business to do."

Lu Mi dragged the other end of the round table away, facing the old man's seat, "You don't mind if I sit here."

After the voice fell, some people changed their expressions slightly.

The blond man who was watching was even more curious. Is this... equal?

After Lu Mi took his seat, Xiao Lun and the former Chief Prison also sat down. As for the other guards, An Bo and others who followed, they did not hold back the pressure and chose to stand conservatively behind Lu Mi.

In this way, the entire round table will be reduced from its initial emptiness.

You must know that the people who can enter this conference hall are all heavyweight figures from the headquarters, and the current occupancy rate has reached a record high, which means that all the prominent figures in the headquarters have come.

"Are you really that Lu Mi from the K8 branch?" The handsome man sitting first on the left at the other end said, he showed interest and sat up slightly, "I remember that the K8 branch was far away. place……"

Lu Mi raised her eyebrows, "You are?"

"Desmond." The man smiled and showed his white teeth, "You seem to be very powerful, why don't we have a discussion when you have time..."

"Desmond." Another thin man on the opposite side raised his eyes indifferently, "Pay attention to the occasion."

"Douglas, you are so boring." Desmond said to the man, and then looked at Lu Mi with a slight nose movement, "I don't know why I always feel that I smell a very dangerous smell from you, you probably didn't just come to the meeting Bar?"

This man with a beast-like instinct didn't know whether he understood what he was saying at the moment. When Lu Mi looked over, Desmond just smiled as usual, "But I'm the person in charge of security at the headquarters after all. If you want to do anything here, it will definitely stop you."

— will not make you successful.Not a threat, but simply announcing the result.

In fact, it was this man who guarded the peace of the headquarters for a long time, and turned it into an iron wall during his rule.

And the performance of the soldiers behind him undoubtedly showed how much they trusted him, they all straightened their backs and their eyes were piercing.

Lu Mi's eyes moved slightly, but turned to look at the person named "Douglas".

"The leader of the golden clock," the silver-eyed young man called him, "I am grateful for the matter of the Blue Steel Empire."

Douglas' indifferent expression changed slightly.

"Why, Douglas, what relationship do you have with the new Chief Warden?" Dunham said with a smile.

Douglas' eyes darkened, and he answered Lu Mi calmly: "I don't understand what you mean."

"I'm Dunham." At this time, Dunham gave the other party a meaningful look, and then pointed to himself with a smile at Lu Mi, "The current head of the General Academy of Sciences has always admired Tartaros for a long time. Are you interested in collaborating in the future?"

Dunham threw an olive branch at Lu Mi quite straightforwardly, and made the rest of the people who didn't have time to show off secretly curse the fox.

Standing behind Lu Mi, Ambow took everything into consideration—the three who spoke first were undoubtedly the three candidates for the president's succession.

Desmond is in charge of security at the headquarters, Douglas is in charge of the intelligence department, and Dunham is in charge of the General Academy of Sciences.

As competitors to each other, the relationship between these three people is obviously not very good.

It has been heard for a long time that the headquarters is now divided into factions headed by these three people, and now looking at other people who dare not interrupt when they are talking, it is indeed the case.

Judging from the current situation, temporarily accepting Dunham's overtures is also a kind of insurance policy...

Just as An Bo was thinking about it, Lu Mi suddenly looked at a document on the desktop, "Do you mind if I take a look?"

The blond man glanced at Grant who was urging him, smiled, and nodded to Lu Mi: "Please go ahead."

Dunham's smile froze slightly, and he looked at the subordinate who handed the document to the blond man.

That subordinate's legs suddenly softened, this...!He didn't know that the young master of the Wilwezes family would know the new warden of Shi Laozi!The subordinates were sweating wildly, and in the eyes of their boss, He Shan, they felt that my life was about to die.

Lu Mi opened the file and scanned it casually. As expected, it was a plan on how to open (melons) and distribute (divide) the remaining value of Tartaros, which focused on those powerful aliens who had escaped from captivity.

Ambow stood behind and looked more and more angry, not because he sympathized with those alien species that were regarded as "precious experimental materials", but because he suddenly realized——

It turns out that in the eyes of everyone, Tartarus is now a bargaining chip waiting to be contested!

They are not communicating as equal existences, even if they say something similar to "invite cooperation", in fact, just like this document, they are regarded as things kept in the dark.

"This is your sincerity in proposing cooperation?" Lu Mi's tone could not detect any emotion.

Dunham was silent for a while, and spread his hands, "Sorry, there is something wrong with my information, this is my negligence." He took the document and tore it up face to face.

The only one who can interfere with his "intelligence" is Douglas, who is in charge of the intelligence department. What a mistake.

But knowing that Lu Mi is coming, he still dares to discuss cooperation with the Wilwezes family here, which means that he does not mean to despise the Chief Prison, whom he has never seen before.

It's just that I didn't expect Lu Mi to be such an existence... It's a pity that the lost goodwill can't be regained. While feeling regretful, Dunham began to think about new countermeasures very calmly.

After the three candidates stopped speaking, the old man with white hair and childish face sitting in the center of the other end slowly said: "Welcome, Your Excellency Chief Prisoner, I am the current president of the headquarters, Ivan strange."

This time it was not Lu Mi who answered him, but the former Chief Prisoner of Tartaros standing behind Lu Mi: "You are old too, Ivan Rich."

The old man, who belonged to the same era as the other party, had already seen the scenes present and realized that the other party had also become powerless just like him. "The last time we met was more than twenty years ago."

Ivanrich's old eyes still hid his brilliance, "You have found an excellent successor." He sighed, "Now the world belongs to young people."

"That's right." The former chief prison warden smiled, "We old guys are going to retire after all, and it's better to let the young people solve the young people's affairs."

I don't know if he understood his hint, but Ivan Rich suddenly laughed.

"That's exactly what I mean." Ivanrich's old face suddenly became serious. Facts have proved that even though he is getting old, the former sharpness has never disappeared but has been hidden deeper.

The suddenly dissipated aura made everyone present couldn't help but concentrate their expressions. The three candidates seemed to have noticed something, their eyes trembled slightly, and they looked solemnly like never before.

"Before this meeting started, I made a decision." Ivan Rich said slowly.

Ivan Rich looked at Lu Mi, whom he had been waiting for for a long time. His life experience made him firmer in his thoughts at the moment, "I will see all the situations that arise in the headquarters because the next president cannot be determined for a long time. In the eyes..."

The faces of the three candidates froze.

But Ivan Rich didn't seem to see their nervousness, and continued: "So I decided to announce here—"

"Before the end of this meeting, whoever allows Tartaros to join the Transcendents' headquarters will be the next president of the Transcendents' Guild!"

"..."

"!!!"

As soon as the words came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Some people couldn't help but stood up directly, with their hands on the table and they were very emotional.

"Eh? Wait, wait! President, isn't this too hasty?"

"Just, that's right! Even if you want to formulate the 'final assessment', you can't ignore the 'normal grades'!?"

"And the performance of the three adults just now..."

This TM is the most critical!When the supporters of the various factions thought about the performance and speeches of the three "each with its own merits" just now, even if they didn't have any "favorability checker", they knew that in the hearts of the silver-eyed youths, it was definitely a negative number!

Time Machine!Is there a time machine that can rewind everything! ?Best to start before you even walk in the door!

"Hey, what are they doing?" An Bo and others were also dumbfounded.

Lu Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

And the three candidates were caught off guard, especially Douglas and Dunham. After regaining their senses, their eyes suddenly locked on Lu Mi.

The flickering eyes were just like their frantic ups and downs at the moment, and it was difficult to keep calm.

——was put together!The two candidates gritted their teeth secretly. Before this, the entire ethos of the headquarters was clearly to capture Tartaros, and now they are making such a request... That old guy definitely did it on purpose!

Douglas looked at the calm expression of the silver-eyed young man. Given his relationship with the other party, it was almost impossible for the other party to voluntarily join his camp.Do you want to use extreme measures?Taking this group down with his troops shouldn't be a problem, just wondering how Desmond and Dunham would get in his way... gotta make a plan now.

"I have a question." Dunham raised his hand at this time and said with a smile, "The person who escorted Mr. Lu Mi before said that Mr. Lu Mi had announced to them that Tartaros had been disbanded. If we come, can we build a Tartarus ourselves and..."

Before Xiao Lun could show killing intent in his eyes, Ivan Rich had already interrupted him, "Don't play tricks at a time like this, Dunham. Since Tartaros was announced to be disbanded by him, he can naturally announce the disbandment. Restart, it seems that you have one more task to complete."

That is to say, only recognize the Great Thorn Prison of His Excellency Lu Mi... Everyone soon realized that there was no room for turning around this matter.

"Then," Ivan Rich took everyone's reactions into his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "I announce that this meeting--start."

Everyone's hearts suddenly tightened!

They didn't forget that the deadline given by Ivan Rich was "before the end of this meeting".

As for the content of the original meeting, "About the subsequent impact of the collapse of Tartaros", they have long since left it behind. Now who cares about what is there? What is more important than the "candidate for the next president" !

Just when the various factions were scrambling to start thinking about how to speak later, the center of their attention suddenly stood up slowly.

"...Your Excellency Lu Mi," one person hurriedly said, "Where are you going?"

The silver-eyed young man only gave him a faint look, "The meeting is over."

"What?" The man opened his mouth.

Lu Mi calmly and unilaterally announced: "I said, I already know what I want to know, the meeting is over."

"No, please wait...!" Everyone never expected that the other party would not play cards according to the routine.

Under normal circumstances, from "a person who is chosen by fate" to "a person who can choose others", even if it doesn't swell all of a sudden, you should always want to appreciate and laugh at others.

"Get out." Xiao Lun obviously agreed with Lu Mi's approach, "What do you think of the Chief Prisoner of Tartarus? A tool for assessment?"

Under Xiao Lun's murderous gaze, the man tremblingly stepped aside.

"Please stay, Your Excellency Lu Mi, I think we can still talk." Dunham said.

Lu Mi: "Not interested."

He couldn't wait, but those guys in the sky couldn't wait.

Especially at this time, Grant rushed up to lead the way excitedly, "Lu Mi, are you leaving? Why don't you go to my house? I want to invite you to my house when the auction is parting. If you are not interested, I will take you for a stroll. The imperial capital is also fine! I invite you!"

Everyone saw that they couldn't stop the other party from leaving, and they could only stare blankly, burning with anxiety.

Douglas looked coldly at Ivan Rich, who was standing by with his arms folded, and suddenly said, "President, your request is only to let the other party join the headquarters. I can decide the specific means."

Ivan Rich glanced at the other party meaningfully, and then looked at the calm silver-eyed young man in the distance, "...Of course, people are responsible for their own actions, and I will not interfere."

Douglas: "Huh."

Just when Lu Mi and others walked to the entrance of the conference hall, suddenly, the golden clock troops broke in collectively.

...For some reason, everyone was not surprised.

The goal of a lifetime is right in front of you, under the witness of everyone.Let the other person go, and then accept your own failure?

Douglas has been standing high for too long, how could he allow this to happen!

Dunham noticed that the president didn't say anything about this scene, so his eyes flashed, and he pressed a button on the terminal at his waist.

Desmond's communicator suddenly rang, and he picked it up, "Lord Desmond, Lord Dunham's troops suddenly appeared in large numbers at the C3 gate, and they request to pass!"

Desmond glanced at Dunham who was next to him, who gave him an innocent smile.

"Let go!" Desmond raised his eyebrows, then grinned, "Let our troops come here, the more the better."

Dunham glanced at him, "Why, aren't you not interested in that position?"

Desmond laughed loudly, "There are more people to make it lively!"

If you want to play big, then he will help you!The backwater headquarters finally became interesting, was it because of the arrival of that person?

Desmond cast his eyes on the silver figure at the door, but at this moment, Lu Mi, who was surrounded, did not panic at all.

Lu Mi even listened to the more and more sensational footsteps in the distance, a lot of people?

"So this is your final choice?" He slowly raised his eyes, and for some reason, everyone suddenly felt a pressure that was slowly rising.

The wind in the air seemed to suddenly start to grow louder, blowing over their icy skin and sweeping across their cheeks.

One person suddenly noticed that the sky suddenly became overcast.

Although the weather is not particularly sunny today, it can still be clearly noticed when the sky suddenly darkens.

no, wait a minute...

The man's eyes widened suddenly, because he suddenly saw the outline of the edge of the huge shadow... outline?

The next moment when he raised his head suddenly, he noticed a faintly visible object appeared in the sky at some point.

There are faint blue lines flowing over that "thing", what is it?An ancient, huge existence that does not belong to this world...

And the silver-eyed youth just stood there in the middle of the huge shadow as if he didn't notice.

Like a god looking at the mortal folly who wants to challenge him.

"As you wish, it's exam time," he said.
