Chapter 81: The Truth Comes to Light; Now I'll Turn On a Purple Light and Have a Good Talk With You All!
Knight Association.
Su Jing did not head straight for Truth Technology.
He first brought Jiang Lingying and the others back to the Knight Association.
Seeing Jiang Lingying, Jiang Li finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Speaker, it is truly good that you are unharmed."
Jiang Lingying also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Jiang Li: "On the contrary, I made you worry. It was my mistake; I never expected Zhou Qingshan to hide so deeply!"
"However, this incident reminds me of something. Here, take this card; I seem to have no use for it."
She took out the Survival Gale Card.
Three Survival Cards: Gale, Infinite, and Blazing Fire! Infinite is Odin's base form, granting Odin the power of Instant Transmission!
As for Gale and Blazing Fire, Jiang Lingying had no use for them! Instead, this incident made her realize that Jiang Li seemed somewhat weak.
If she had possessed this card back then, she might have carved a bloody path to escape, rather than being captured by Yan Qingxue.
So she handed the Survival Gale Card to Jiang Li.
"Alright!"
"So tired; my stamina is almost exhausted. I'll go rest first."
Jiang Lingying went to rest, supported by Jiang Li.
Su Jing did not attend to her; he was currently more concerned about matters at Truth Technology, so he asked directly:
"You mentioned earlier that Truth Technology discovered some things about my past. What is going on?"
"Do you remember what I said at that time? Your Driver was developed by the then R&D Director, namely Rhode-Chansell!"
"He was an undoubted genius and the leader responsible for Driver development at Truth Technology at that time!"
"The prototype of the Zero-One Driver was developed by him; later, under the Chairman's modifications, the complete Zero-One Driver was born, which is the one you use."
"And not long ago, we discovered Rhode's research materials and found that the Zero-One Driver you use had problems from the very beginning!"
"Rhode knew that Driver had problems, yet he still handed that Driver to you!"
Su Jing's eyes instantly narrowed: "Rhode. And then!"
"I am curious; what was his purpose!"
"I have no grudge against him, nor have I even met him! Why would he do such a thing!"
"We do not know. Our investigation only revealed that there seems to be the shadow of Vice Chairman Pailuosi behind Rhode. We suspect Mr. Pailuosi wanted you to meet with misfortune!"
"So this invitation for you to visit Truth Technology was also to investigate the reasons behind it; we are also very concerned about why they would do such a thing!"
Rhode, Pailuosi—Su Jing's eyes turned cold.
Back then, he already felt something was wrong with his Driver malfunctioning.
He never thought it was just a false impression! It almost cost him his life; this debt needs to be settled with a purple light!
Truth Technology.
It is a giant in the field of artificial intelligence, located on the West Continent and renowned worldwide.
Currently, no entity in the field of artificial intelligence can compare to Truth Technology.
The headquarters is a tower like a lighthouse, its peak piercing the clouds.
Below are various artificial intelligences, scenes that only appear in science fiction novels and movies; technology is visible everywhere here!
This place can truly be called the pinnacle of world technology!
And at this moment.
The tower, the very top.
Inside a conference room.
This is the place where the shareholder directors of Truth Technology hold meetings specifically.
And at this moment, most of the directors holding actual power at Truth Technology have already arrived.
Only the Chairman, who holds the highest authority, is absent! "Hmph! How long does our Chairman intend to hide? Does he not even plan to show up for this kind of meeting?" The speaker, a director with a short temper, snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Yes, ever since inheriting the Chairman's position, he has been hiding and never showing up. It is truly incomprehensible how the old Chairman would hand over such an important position to someone like that." The director beside him nodded repeatedly.
"Fortunately, there is still Vice Chairman Pailuosi; otherwise, Truth Technology would probably have already fallen into complete chaos." Another director's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.
Regarding that legendary Chairman, who had inherited the Chairman's position for five years yet never showed his face, the mysterious Chairman.
Were they angry that he did not do his proper work?
Of course not! On the contrary, they were delighted by it.
The gaze of the directors present was now all focused on the middle-aged man named Pailuosi.
He is the Vice Chairman of Truth Technology, the person with the highest authority after the Chairman! And with the Chairman absent, basically all matters of Truth Technology are handled by him.
"No one knows what the old Chairman was thinking."
"I do not care at all about what plans our new Chairman has."
"I only care about... the person we all know—Su Jing, the current Kamen Rider Decade!"
Upon hearing this, all the directors present showed strange expressions.
Su Jing!
He is an old acquaintance.
Back then, a single Zero-One Driver turned him into the strongest of the era, leaving this group of directors completely stunned.
They studied it for years but still could not figure it out.
That thing, Zero-One, you cannot say it is weak.
But becoming the strongest? That is a bit ridiculous!
Yet, the other party is universally recognized as the strongest of the current era.
As for those who didn't agree, they were basically beaten to death! There was no doubt that he was the strongest of his era—after all, he had carved his way to that position through sheer slaughter.
In that chaotic age, he single-handedly cut through everything and propped up a massive nation's Knight Organization!
Although looking at it now, two years of change had altered a great deal.
Their Truth Technology had also developed all kinds of power that far surpassed Zero-One.
But no one would question that he had once been the strongest of his era! Of course, Truth Technology still had one impression of him.
That guy was truly rotten! He had swindled their funding, then kept stalling on their demands over and over! So at this moment, the hot-tempered director immediately spoke up: "Hmph!"
"Don't even mention him. Back then, that guy turned a deaf ear to our demands, and some of those demands still haven't been fulfilled to this day!"
"Right, I don't know what the Chairman was even thinking, to actually invest in a guy like that, even if he is a bit strong!"
"But his strength brought us no profit whatsoever, so it's meaningless. The investment we made in him was only partially recouped after he fell and someone else took over."
"And that Yan Qingxue—what's her relationship with the Chairman anyway? She persuaded him so easily to fund Su Jing!"
"."
The directors present were now buzzing with discussion.
They truly couldn't figure it out.
Why had the Chairman, who had just inherited Truth Technology back then, been persuaded by Yan Qingxue to fund an obscure Knight Association.
Within the Knight Organizations of that time, the Knight Association didn't look like it had any future prospects at all.
But now it doesn't matter anymore.
Apart from being swindled by Su Jing in the early stages, this investment had proven to be extremely correct.
After all, after Su Jing fell, their Truth Technology still recouped a great deal.
So the point Pailuosi was now raising about Su Jing was clearly what came after—Kamen Rider Decade.
