Chapter 186

Nothing at all!

This shocked Topaz greatly!

【What you're looking for...】

【Are these them?】

Sunday was not at all surprised by this result.

He lifted the white cloth that had been covering the table the whole time,

and two cornerstones, dazzling and brilliant like gemstones,

were suddenly revealed.

Furina: "Th-this... Topaz actually... ~."

Furina: "Actually lost that badly?!"

Hu Tao: "Sigh, a total defeat, a total defeat!!"

Xiangling: "Shocking, this result is simply unbelievable!"

Stelle: "I originally thought Topaz was already sly and cunning enough.."

Stelle: "But now it seems, there's always a higher mountain!!"

March 7th: "I'm watching and feeling a bit dazed, Topaz was clearly being led around by the nose, right?"

Lumine: "From the moment Topaz entered this room, he had already completely fallen into Mr. Sunday's palm."

Lumine: "This makes his previous thoughts seem a bit clownish."

Nahida: "Mr. Sunday's method has surprised me somewhat."

Nahida: "Is this also a manifestation of the power of Harmony?"

Welt: "This power.... why does it feel somewhat strange?"

Welt: "Is this truly the power of Harmony?"

Sunday: "Regarding this point, of course!"

General Jing Yuan: "Harmony... huh?"

General Jing Yuan: "Heh, marvelous, fascinating..."

Herta: "Tsk tsk, now this is getting interesting."

Nilou: "I'm a bit puzzled, the questions Mr. Sunday asked in the middle don't seem to have any connection, do they?"

Paimon: "Yes, Paimon didn't really understand either."

Zhong Li: "Asking these questions, on one hand, is because Mr. Sunday is a cautious person."

Zhong Li: "On the other hand, there seems to be some deeper meaning within."

Huang Quan: "Then Mr. Topaz..."

Huang Quan: "Do you hate, and wish to personally destroy... this world?"

Topaz: "Why ask such a baffling question?"

Topaz: "I'm doing perfectly fine... why would I hate and destroy this world?"

Black Swan: "Is that so?"

Black Swan: "Even if this world... no longer has your kin... nor your clansmen."

Black Swan: "You are the sole survivor of your clan..."

Black Swan: "Even so... you don't hate this.... world that has been unfair to you?"

Black Swan: "Do you truly think this way, Mr. Topaz?"

Topaz: "...."

Alhaitham: "This question... has somewhat of a leading tone to it."

Dr. Ratio: "But it is a question worth pondering."

Guinaifen: "Family gone, clansmen gone, everyone you care about in this world gone."

Guinaifen: "If this happened to me, I'd probably just go full villain, right?"

Miss Sushang: "You outworlders call it going full villain, but if this happened on Luofu Xianzhou, you'd probably catch the Mara-struck!"

Stelle: "That's right, if something like this happened to me, I'd catch the Meng-ying Syndrome!"

March 7th: "Eh.. wait a minute!"

March 7th: "Say that again, what syndrome?"

Stelle: "Meng-ying Syndrome?"

Stelle: "You don't know about it?"

Stelle: "It's a disease where after you catch it, you can only go 'ying ying ying'."

Bai Lu: "Since this Young Lady began practicing medicine on her own, I've never heard of such a disease!"

Judge Hanya: "Indeed, I have never heard of this disease either."

Judge Hanya: "But I have to say, it does sound rather cute."

General Jing Yuan: "Meng-ying Syndrome? Haha, that truly is a trendy way of putting it."

Paimon: "What Mara-struck, Meng-ying Syndrome... mm... so convoluted."

Paimon: "So frustrating, Paimon doesn't understand."

Judge Xueyi: "Thou need not understand, for this is a forbidden matter."

Venti: "Mara-struck, huh..... seems like quite something too."

The video continues.

The scene shifts to several system hours earlier, at the Penacony Mansion.

"Since you've arrived on time as promised, Professor of the Boxuede Sect..."

"Does this mean you're willing to stand with the family in this farce?"

Sunday looked at the Truth Doctor, who had arrived right on time, and spoke to inquire.

"What makes you think you can win me over?"

The Truth Doctor retorted coolly.

"I've heard a thing or two — your dealings with Mr. Topaz haven't been pleasant."

"I also know you're a true scholar, one whose pursuit of knowledge outweighs everything else."

Sunday revealed a gentle smile.

"Then you should also understand that a qualified scholar knows his place, and won't throw away something more important for the sake of hollow dignity."

The Truth Doctor began negotiating terms with Sunday.

"If you agree to assist the family, I will hand over all our research findings on the Stellaron."

"You should be well aware that aside from the family, no faction is willing to share such knowledge."

Sunday had long prepared conditions that were, for the Truth Doctor, quite tempting.

"..."

"Tell me then — what do you need me to do?"

Sure enough,

the price Sunday offered was steep,

so steep that the Truth Doctor could not refuse such a temptation!

After a brief silence, he agreed.

"I need Mr. Topaz's entire plan."

The moment Sunday opened his mouth, he wanted the Truth Doctor to betray Topaz.

"Heh."

"Haven't you all already confiscated his cornerstone?"

"A plucked Kong Que can't fly."

The Truth Doctor replied with a light laugh.

"But I've also heard that the ten elites of the Strategic Investment Department are extremely united, advancing and retreating together in the face of the company's interests."

Sunday neither affirmed nor denied.

"You can speak more plainly."

The Truth Doctor had no intention of playing games with Sunday.

"The cornerstone Mr. Topaz submitted — does it truly belong to him personally?"
