Niu Sen felt like he was part of a farce.

He had thought that his deal with Achilles was a win-win.

He would be rid of Chief Glu, and Achilles could use him to limit Temir’s growth.

It clearly seemed like a win-win, but Achilles just had to complicate things.

He was too naive, not understanding how unscrupulous young people can be!

————————

“I was just thinking about Eris, Mi’er, our relationship with Eris and Glu has always been a mix of cooperation and subtle estrangement.

Are Niu Sen and Achilles really that sweet on each other?

I doubt it.

At the Senate inquiry, that man mentioned some specifics that seemed to point at Glu, but that’s just how we insiders see it.

How would outsiders view it?”

Temir was full of worry while CEO Cheng remained calm.

Why was he so composed?

Shouldn’t every decision be made with extreme caution given the precarious nature of the situation?

Because Cheng Daqi had already found several angles to enter the game, and good ones at that!

Dracula joining the establishment combined with the promises given by Daniel had placed him and Mi’er in an at least evenly matched, invincible position.

That’s why he dared to say victory was certain; it was just a matter of the margin.

The dilemma Eris faced gave CEO Cheng fresh insight.

Some things that looked complicated were actually not as dangerous for those in the game; instead, they presented numerous opportunities.

The last time he had been dragged into it was during the Red Street kidnapping.

Back then, he had been compliant, but now, Cheng Daqi had the strength to strike hard!

Using a gunman to warn me, huh?

Achilles, do you think I’m made of clay?

“An outsider has no place to comment.”

Temir’s response was incisive, real, and humorous, making CEO Cheng chuckle.

“Mi’er, your uncle, that man is playing along and causing trouble, seemingly targeting Glu.

But if we look at it from another angle, from Niu Sen’s perspective, things are different.

He traded with Achilles, packaged you and Glu for sale, but Achilles’s actions are highly suspicious, almost too forceful.

Glu is one of the California Clique; the problem is huge.

Apply too much pressure and Niu Sen will suffer.

Chief Glu is like Niu Sen’s…

balls, and Achilles might already have them in his grip.

This logic, you think it could persuade Niu Sen?”

“The way you put it, Glu is Niu Sen’s…

that’s disgusting.”

Temir was repulsed by Cheng Daqi’s crude analogy.

“My only question is, why on earth did Glu catch Steven?

What was he thinking?”

This was the point Cheng Daqi couldn’t figure out.

Chief Glu’s move was bold.

Steven and his colleagues, two Forbes, were attacked in California, and after that man’s statement, it’s now big news in America.

But when reporters went to find the unfortunate Forbes, they discovered the guy had actually been taken to the LAPD’s interrogation room.

Who wouldn’t be puzzled by this?

Glu: I thought he (Achilles) was just bluffing, didn’t expect him to go for the kill…

“So, that’s why I think we’re in danger.

If Niu Sen hadn’t given Glu assurance, he wouldn’t be so reckless.

But to think more darkly, Niu Sen might have deliberately fooled Glu into doing something crazy, then let Achilles make his move.

Their cooperation seems exquisite.”

Temir was analyzing it with the logic of a conspirator.

Niu Sen gives Glu assurance, Glu is duped, escalates the situation, then gets taken out—the logic is counterintuitive but makes sense.

CEO Cheng hesitated for a while, then slowly shook his head.

“There’s a saying in Hua Country, ‘the higher the position, the more contemptible.’ Those in high positions are more superstitious about the power and wisdom in their hands.

He lost composure the moment he sent a gunman to warn me.

There are many things in California he doesn’t understand.

He sees clearly but doesn’t understand!

This is California Clique territory, yet the Clique is tightly connected to Shamite’s financial capital due to economic interests.

In California, no matter how many cards Achilles has, he is bound to lose.

His actions are too conspicuous, making it easy for Niu Sen to doubt him.

Guess what’s the first card I plan to play?”

CEO Cheng was like a gambler enchanted.

He’d been holding back for so many days, all for this moment to turn the tables, hadn’t he?

Only, the entry point wasn’t quite what he had initially thought.

Things were complicated, and so were the troubles, Temir sighed.

“Niu Sen will not be easy to handle.

He acts more like a meticulous merchant than a politician.

Compared to Achilles, we are too insignificant; we can’t offer him more benefits.

In other words, even if Achilles really grabbed his…

whatever, as long as Achilles throws him a bone with a smile, he’ll wag his tail at Achilles again.

I still worry that you are pressuring Eris too much.

He might become our vulnerability.

I didn’t quite agree with cutting off Glu back then, but now it seems you were right.

Yet here you are, pressuring Eris, wanting to make a clear separation, and trying to give him more resources.

Your heart is in turmoil, Chan.”

Cheng Daqi and Temir were both strong-minded people with their own ideas, and neither had convinced the other.

CEO Cheng did not agree with Temir’s plan concerning Niu Sen, and Temir did not support CEO Cheng’s design for Eris.

“Ever heard the saying, ‘focus on the main contradiction is key,’ haha.

You think my heart is troubled, but I believe I am constantly thinking from different people’s perspectives, offering solutions.

Mi’er, there’s no hurry to meet Niu Sen.

I plan to see Glu first.

I’m very curious what this LAPD ‘crime buster’ is thinking right now.

No matter whether Niu Sen protects him or not, I bet his expression will be worth seeing.”

Thinking of the top corrupt cop’s current expression, CEO Cheng was looking forward to it, very much so.

“Hahaha, honey, then I’ll go see Antony again, get you some more info on Achilles!”
