Chapter 1777: Making a Mistake

Beiwu Xiong waved his hand: "Let me consider it carefully; I will give you an answer tonight."

"Very well, Father." Xingzi nodded, bowed slightly to Beiwu Xiong, and then retreated. She knew that what her father needed right now was calm reflection; only in this way would he not make a mistake.

However, by the evening, Chen Yu had already obtained the map of Liehun Hall; it was located on a rarely visited Snow Mountain to the north of Fusang.

After clarifying the location, Chen Yu had a plan in mind. He was not in a rush to resolve it, because he had to figure out where the God Lord was.

Jones of the Shilaike Family was about to leave, and before he left, it was necessary for Chen Yu to have a talk with him.

"Mr. Chen, I am going back. The succession ceremony of the Shilaike Family is already in preparation. I, Jones Shrek, as the most outstanding young person in the family, am going back to the family to inherit everything." When Jones mentioned the succession, his face was still full of pride.

After all, there were dozens of people of his generation, and few of these brothers were easy to deal with, but being able to defeat these brothers of his was indeed something to be proud of.

"You seem quite proud?" Chen Yu glanced at him. It was time to let this guy know who the master was. Pride was one thing, but shouldn't he be a bit more low-key in front of his master?

"No, not at all. No matter how far I go, I will always need your help, Master. I will forever remain in your afterglow." Jones was startled. He knew his attitude just now had been problematic, so he hurriedly lowered his posture and said cautiously.

"I just realized that you, damn it, are a talent. You can flatter without even blushing or catching your breath?" Chen Yu was simply speechless. No wonder this guy could become the heir; it was all blown out by his mouth.

In fact, Chen Yu could see it now. This guy's ability was actually average; the reason he could become the heir and replace Lao Shilaike's position was entirely because of him.

"No, Mr. Chen, I am not flattering you. My worship of you comes from the bottom of my heart." Jones said, bowing slightly: "I am willing to serve you for a lifetime."

"You say it very nicely on the surface, but in reality, you wish you could put me to death, right?" Chen Yu glanced at Jones. Chen Yu really understood this guy's thoughts too well.

"I really don't..." Jones's face flushed slightly, then he raised his head and said sincerely: "I truly want to get rid of the God Lord's control and lead my entire family to abandon darkness for light."

"Why?" Chen Yu glanced at Jones: "The God Lord led your family toward glory and even granted you the ability of eternal life. Logically speaking, you should support him."

"He can indeed prolong our lives, and it is even possible that he could grant us eternal life." Jones sighed awkwardly: "But I don't want to become a monster. My grandfather, and those who have accepted Gene Modification, they have almost turned into monsters."

"Then perhaps by the time it reaches you, his technology will have matured, and then he can make you perfect. Isn't that good?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Mr. Chen... I am not a fool." Jones sighed slightly: "My ability is average, but in fact, the subject I studied was genetic engineering. I know that achieving eternal life through gene editing is a fantasy. Let alone eternal life, even making a person perfect through gene technology is already very unrealistic."

"Oh, you are actually a top student." Chen Yu looked at Jones with some surprise: "That really couldn't be seen. All along, I thought you were just a guy who only knew how to indulge in debauchery."

"I do like to indulge in debauchery, but Mr. Chen, let's be honest, which man doesn't like these things?" Jones spread his hands: "We are not saints, and it is normal to have some personal preferences. If you want to say I am not ambitious..."

"My Shilaike Family possesses wealth in the top five of the world, and in our local area, we enjoy rights almost equal to a king. How else do you want me to be ambitious?"

Chen Yu was stunned. What this guy said seemed to make a lot of sense. That's right, their Shilaike Family could be said to have money if they wanted money and power if they wanted power. Wasn't it normal for this guy to be a bit of a playboy?

"Fine, what you said seems to make a lot of sense, so let's skip this topic for now and ignore it." Chen Yu nodded: "You also think the God Lord cannot succeed?"

"Yes, he cannot succeed. I have taken elective courses in theology. I know that everything in this world is a cage already built by the Creator. Some sequences in the genes were actually locked by the Creator long ago. Even if you research beyond the normal range, you are only slightly stronger than an ordinary person."

"If you forcibly change a person's genes, then that person's fate will be very miserable. This is the shackle that God has locked onto all of us; no one can break free from this shackle."

"You are quite extraordinary. I underestimated you before." Chen Yu took a deep look at this guy. It seemed that treating this guy as a playboy before was a mistake; this guy was quite calculating.

"People, you know, always have to wear some masks." Jones shrugged his shoulders and said: "If I appeared too shrewd, then the Jones Family might not fall to me to inherit."

"The reason is that you are too shrewd, which would make your grandfather feel that you are difficult to control, and they are in such a hurry to push someone into power just to raise a Puppet." Chen Yu said indifferently: "Am I right?"

"Absolutely correct, Mr. Chen." Jones looked at Chen Yu deeply. He felt that he had truly found a kindred spirit. He said with some emotion: "So, Mr. Chen, the moment I saw you, I knew I was saved. I am not willing to be a Puppet."

"But I am also not willing to give up inheriting the Shilaike Family, so I have been struggling. After seeing you, I knew my benefactor had arrived."

"Stop with that flattery for now." Chen Yu's eyebrows twitched. This guy's slickness was the mask he hid the deepest. Lao Shilaike would never dream that this guy, who looked like a playboy and whom he was confident he could control, actually had such a mask hidden underneath.

"Yes, everything is up to you, but every word I said came from the bottom of my heart." Jones did not forget to offer his sycophancy.

"Up to me? You are using me to solve the internal dangers you face, aren't you?" Chen Yu laughed: "I have to say, your calculations are quite deep; even I have to help you solve your problems."

"This is because your ability is here." Jones hurriedly bowed, his face piled with smiles: "Mr. Chen, if I hadn't met you, I really wouldn't know what to do."
