Chapter 589: Chapter 589 Biochemical Man_1

The man clad in black, Kim Jae-won, slowly opened his eyes and looked up at an excited Sophia, speaking in authentic American English, "I... how long was I out?"

"Not long, just about the time it takes for the Huaxia people to drink a cup of tea."

You walked over to the two of them with your hands in your pockets, grinning from ear to ear.

"Stay away!"

With a shout, Sophia quickly reached into her bosom, pulled out a handgun, and aimed it at you.

"Sophia, calm down. Put the gun away; they’re not enemies."

As he spoke, Kim Jae-won’s body floated up from the ground.

Drifting closer, Kim Jae-won performed a formal ninety-degree bow to you all and said in heavily accented Chinese, "I apologize for the trouble just now."

"No trouble at all. If you want to keep fighting, though, brother, I can keep you company."

You looked at Kim Jae-won with a teasing smile, while he gave a slight smile in return, "I know I’m no match for Chairman Li, so let’s not fight this out."

You hadn’t expected Kim Jae-won to be so agreeable, but the more he showed weakness, the more it indicated that he was hiding something.

"Mr. Kim, I’m curious to know, are you after the Glazed Stone in my possession because you’re under that man’s spell, or is it your own desire?"

Kim Jae-won and Sophia exchanged glances, and he sighed softly before saying, "To be honest with you, Chairman Li, my intentions are not at odds with that man’s. I’m willingly under his spell just to get that Glazed Stone from you."

"Oh? Such a big sacrifice must mean the Glazed Stone holds significant meaning for you. What is it, exactly?"

Kim Jae-won bowed his head, his voice filled with longing and mourning, "I just want to fulfill a dear friend’s last wish."

Xian Qianling stared at Kim Jae-won, speaking coldly, "Tell us then, since you wish to resolve this peacefully, let us know your full intentions. As long as there is no conflict of interest, we might help you with this so-called last wish."

After coming to his senses, Kim Jae-won had also considered this issue. He was well aware that, without the assistance of that man’s Myriad Manifestation Eye, he had no chance of entering that mysterious and dangerous place. For now, the only way forward was with the help of your Sen Luo Eye.

As if he had made a significant decision, Kim Jae-won spoke in an indifferent tone, "This friend of mine is a member of the ’Millennium Bug’ and also the only Huaxia person in the organization. Her surname is Si."

"The Si surname? That’s a rare one. Is she a descendant of the royal family of the ancient Yue Kingdom?"

It was common knowledge that the royal family of the Yue Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period bore the surname Si, with King Goujian of Yue being the last king with the Si surname.

"Yes."

With Kim Jae-won’s nod, one of the puzzling questions that had been bothering you was finally answered.

You extended your hand, and with a light flip in front of everyone, the rosewood box appeared in your palm, and you nonchalantly tossed the rosewood box to Kim Jae-won.

Kim Jae-won looked incredulously at the rosewood box in his arms, completely unexpected that you would hand it over to him under such circumstances.

"Why have you handed it to me so easily?"

Faced with the puzzled looks from Kim Jae-won and the others around him, you said with a smile, "Even if you have this thing now, you won’t be able to enter the ancient tomb. That place is full of mechanisms and prohibitions. With just the two of you going in, it would be no different from marching to your death."

Sophia felt somewhat disgruntled by what you said. She immediately widened her eyes, a look of defiance in her face, "We are the elite of the elite, entering an ancient tomb is nothing to us! Those mechanisms that have existed for thousands of years can’t hurt us at all!"

"Is that so? If you’re so capable, then I won’t stop you. Please, go ahead."

Your words left Sophia unsure of what to do next, so she turned to look at Kim Jae-won, who simply sighed lightly and said, "It seems, Chairman Li, that there is nothing that can escape your discerning eyes."

You didn’t speak, too lazy to respond to such immaterial flattery.

Kim Jae-won continued, "Just like Chairman Li has seen, after the spell of the Myriad Manifestation Eye was broken, we lost the assistance of the Myriad Manifestation Eye, and we simply can’t enter the ancient tomb. Not to mention, we probably wouldn’t even be able to find the Gate of Life to enter the tomb."

Looking up slightly, you glanced at the sun through the gaps in the leaves above and said to Kim Jae-won, "It’s getting late. If you plan on entering today, you should do so soon. After all, no one knows what’s actually inside. Right now, I just want to know what object this Glazed Stone needs to be inlaid on, and what role it plays."

After exchanging glances with Sophia, Kim Jae-won nodded at her, and although she appeared somewhat reluctant, she still turned to the motionless Biochemical Man in the black tight suit and said, "Number 1, take down the object on your back and give it to me."

Upon hearing Sophia’s voice, the Biochemical Man finally moved. She was carrying a slender backpack, which you had originally thought contained a sniper rifle.

The Biochemical Man, swaying a graceful posture, walked towards you. Though her movements were noticeably stiff, it was undeniable that her figure was quite attractive.

"Mu Yun, wait a bit and then tell them to give me that body!"

Hong Xiu’s voice came again from Du Xishan’s backpack.

Smirking, you said, "Beg me."

"Please, please, dear Mu Yun, dear brother! After I am reborn, I will be your master’s wife; I’ll definitely give you, the matchmaker, a particularly large red envelope!"

Hong Xiu’s voice was loud enough for everyone to hear this time.

Being shy, Du Xishan may be an acknowledged authority in archaeology, but faced with affairs of the heart, he proved to be much more naive. As soon as Hong Xiu spoke, he became the target of all, immediately hanging his head low, not daring to meet everyone’s eyes.

You laughed and said to Sophia, "Miss Sophia, we Huaxia people have a traditional virtue called ’helping others in their pursuit of happiness.’ I wonder if our previous agreement still stands?"

You thought Sophia might put up some difficulty, but to your surprise, the foreign lady proved to be quite trustworthy. She immediately turned and pressed gently at a point on the back of her head. She then produced a small chip.

She brought the small chip over to you, "Hold the chip up to your iris. It will scan itself, and after three seconds, it will automatically recognize its master."

"High technology, iris recognition system, tsk tsk... When I’m rich, I’ll get one of these gorgeous Biochemical Men for myself, he he he..."

"Humph!" Hearing your comment, Xian Qianling couldn’t help but snort coldly.

Ignoring the Crazy Woman, you quickly walked over to Du Xishan, and held the chip in front of his left eye for three seconds. With a crisp "beep," you knew the automatic recognition was complete. Then you handed the chip to Sophia.
