Chapter 32

Destiny Technology.

It sits right next to Jianghuai Biotechnology.

It's like being blind under the lamp.

Su Jing has passed by here before.

At this moment, atop the building.

Inside the Chairman Office.

Three men in suits, faces grim, entered.

Before them stood Lin Tan, Chairman of Destiny Technology!

He was clasping his hands, staring at the computer screen.

The computer was playing a video: Chen Dao, in his Dark Armored Knight form, being brutally beaten, until only one horn remained!

"How pitiful, Chen Dao."

"I actually had high hopes for him."

"Was it because his opponent was too strong?"

"Then again, he was once the strongest—even if he's been eliminated, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse."

As he spoke, Lin Tan slightly lifted his head and looked at the three: "You're here."

"Chairman!" the three said solemnly.

"What do you have for us?"

"Ah~"

Lin Tan nodded: "Go invite someone for me."

"Invite someone?" the three frowned: "Who is it?"

"Su Jing. The files have already been sent to you. His approximate location has also been provided."

"I don't know why Truth Technology people are with him, but it's none of our concern."

"Go invite him to join Destiny Technology!"

"This…" Shen Zhuo, the man in the middle, showed a hint of hesitation.

Seeing his expression, Lin Tan said: "You're worried he'll refuse?"

"Shen Zhuo, do you know~"

"Humans are social creatures; they cannot survive alone."

"Even abandoned beasts seek shelter—how much more so humans?"

"The founder of the Knight Association, abandoned by those he once trusted, now hunted by the Knight Association itself!"

"Of course, he may not yet understand how much the Knight Association has grown over these two years."

"So we must guide him~"

Shen Zhuo seemed to understand.

The meaning was to show Su Jing just how vast the Knight Association had become.

Only Destiny Technology could protect him now.

"But…"

"What if he still refuses?" Shen Zhuo hesitated to ask.

Instantly, Lin Tan's warm, fatherly smile vanished—he was expressionless: "Do I still need to teach you?"

"Just bring back that Driver."

Feeling the coldness in his voice, Shen Zhuo shivered and quickly replied: "Yes!"

Lin Tan's smile returned: "Alright, go invite him."

"I believe he'll make the right choice."

"But if he's foolish enough to refuse, then he has no right to use that interesting Driver!"

"Yes!" Shen Zhuo turned and left with his two companions.

Time returns to half an hour earlier.

Inside the villa.

"Do you think Destiny Technology has ties to the Worm?"

"I can't understand why a gaming company would collaborate with a Worm," Xilina said, puzzled.

But Su Jing replied with a meaningful tone: "Perhaps."

"We've misunderstood something."

"Destiny Technology, the Worm, and the Jianghuai Association are separate forces."

"Huh?" Xilina froze: "You mean…"

"Destiny Technology is independent—it's not like Jianghuai Biotechnology was once controlled by the Worm?"

Su Jing shrugged: "The answer lies in Destiny Technology. We'll know once we get there."

"So where is Destiny Technology?"

"Destiny Technology is…" Xilina began to say.

Suddenly, her deep blue eyes shifted. "Mr. Su Jing, there's an intruder!"

At that instant—

Suddenly!

Game Field deployed!! The Game Field is the most unique ability of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

When Ex-Aid's Riders transform, they deploy a Game Field and freely choose the map.

And hidden within the game realm are various game items that can aid in battle.

Even with proper use of these items, low-rank knights can solo high-level monsters.

And now, the game realm has suddenly expanded.

Tap-tap!

Slow footsteps approached from outside the door.

Three figures pushed the door open and entered.

Shen Zhuo, with a Player Driver at his waist, stepped forward: "Mr. Su Jing, forgive my uninvited arrival."

"Let me introduce myself—I am Shen Zhuo, affiliated with Destiny Technology!"

"Destiny Technology?" Su Jing paused, glancing at Xilina.

We were just talking about these people.

And now they've come to us on their own.

So the initial suspicion was correct.

Destiny Technology is an independent organization—completely independent of both the Worm and the Jianghuai Association!

Destiny Technology is independent, completely independent, a separate organization standing apart from both the Worm and the Jianghuai Association!

"What a coincidence—I was just about to go to your Destiny Technology, and now you've come to me."

"Is that so? Then Mr. Su Jing, you truly have fate on our side," Shen Zhuo smiled. "Then—"

"On behalf of our Chairman, I formally invite you to join Destiny Technology!"

"Invite me to join you?" Su Jing hadn't expected this to be their goal.

"Yes. Under these circumstances, only Destiny Technology can protect you!" Shen Zhuo spoke more plainly this time.

"Yes, in this situation, the only ones who can protect you are us, Destiny Technology!" Shen Zhuo spoke even more directly this time.

"Cough!" Xilina suddenly cleared her throat to assert her presence.

"Do you think Truth Technology is dead?"

Shen Zhuo's face twisted with embarrassment.

He'd almost forgotten.

There was also Truth Technology.

But he quickly added: "So, Mr. Su Jing, what is your answer?"

"Answer me one question first," Su Jing said calmly.

"What is your relationship with the Jianghuai Association?"

"This…" Shen Zhuo hesitated—it involved classified information.

But if he wanted to recruit this man, perhaps it wasn't forbidden to say.

"The Knight System used by the Jianghuai Association was crafted by our Chairman himself!"

"They are a very close partner of ours!"

"So the Hyper Zecter was also made with your help?" Su Jing asked again.

"Yes, Mr. Su Jing—you've faced it firsthand, so you know well the power of that Hyper Zecter."

"The very organization that developed such a device truly has the strength to protect you!"

"So join us at Destiny Technology!"

Su Jing's lips curled into a sly smile: "It sounds plausible."

"Your technology is indeed impressive."

"But isn't it inappropriate? I just killed a knight from your ally, the Jianghuai Association!"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. They lost—that proves they were weak. As the victor, you are far more worthy of our invitation!"

"Hmm~ I see." Su Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. "And if I refuse?"

Shen Zhuo's expression shifted slightly: "Mr. Su Jing, don't forget—you're already being hunted by the Knight Association."

"You wouldn't want to lose one friend and gain another enemy, would you?"

"You surely wouldn't want to lose a friend and gain an enemy instead!"

Su Jing pulled out the Decade Driver: "I don't mind adding another nuisance—I'll just clear them away."

"As for enemies? Only equals are enemies!"

"As for enemies? Only those evenly matched are called enemies!"

"At best, you're pebbles on the roadside!"
