Chapter 540: Chapter 533 Role Play

"Justin’s position is quite detached; he’s here not for being an enemy of the Sanitation Worker but because he is on good terms with me and it’s safe enough here. In other words, if he wants to, he can immediately contact the Sanitation Worker to sell or buy any intelligence he’s interested in. In this apocalyptic crisis, his status and role are the least affected," Gao Yuan explained.

Surprised, Gao Yuan asked, "Won’t the Sanitation Worker get rid of him?"

"The Sanitation Worker will do their utmost to conceal their secrets, attempting to buy our secrets from him. In fact, the relationship between the Cicero Family and the Sanitation Worker has always been very close. After the apocalypse, the entire world’s operations have come to a halt, so their contacts have also temporarily been suspended. But if Justin wants to resume contact, it’s really quite simple," Gao Yuan replied.

Gao Yuan nodded again. He was now beginning to think of Justin as the sort of person who could not be fully trusted. But since Ram and Big Ivan had no such worries, it should be fine.

Continuing, Ram said, "Therefore, Justin can easily control the progression of the entire plan. His status is aloof, his role extraordinary. He can decide what to tell the Sanitation Worker based on changes in the situation, so you don’t need to worry about Xinghe falling into crisis too soon."

It made sense, but Gao Yuan still wanted to know why Justin was worthy of trust.

"Why do you trust Justin so much?"

This simple question from Gao Yuan gave Ram pause. After a moment of thought, he smiled and said, "Because we share inseparable interests. I won’t even mention friendship, as it’s usually unreliable. Furthermore, only a handful of us are privy to the Serpent People’s secrets, and Justin definitely knows them. Why wouldn’t he act in a way that doesn’t expose himself, when even delivering poison will only yield benefits and trust, under those circumstances? There’s more..."

Ram’s eyes began to deepen as he spoke in a low voice, "The invasion of the Serpent People has brought harm to all of us. You, me, and of course, Justin. Your hatred for the Serpent People is deep-seated, and Justin feels the same."

Gao Yuan’s suspicions about Justin were temporarily dispelled as he now started to understand how the big shots thought.

Justin’s position was detached. As an information broker, he naturally had the convenience of pleasing both sides, and by offering the blood of Xinghe and the secret of immortality, he would certainly receive a very generous return from the Sanitation Worker. After all, he wouldn’t even need to set up a ploy by pretending the secrets were stolen by the Sanitation Worker’s spies accidentally.

Justin could even actively give things to the Sanitation Worker, because he had enough reasons to do so, or even without any reason, his identity alone could suffice, just on the basis of wanting to please both powers.

The Cicero Family gave the secret of immortality to the Serpent People as an open strategy, and Justin’s role in this plan could also be described with such openness.

No matter what Justin did or what he would do, there would only be benefits without any downside.

If the Solar System Company won, Justin would be an elder and have made a great contribution. If the Sanitation Worker won, Justin would have made a significant contribution to the Sanitation Worker. If the Solar System Company and the Sanitation Worker remained in a standoff, Justin would be making a large contribution in the middle. Even if everyone on Earth perished in the end, Justin might still have a relationship with the Serpent People by relying on the secret of immortality, allowing him to survive even after the extinction of humanity.

This man was really too formidable. As long as he wished, he could stand invincible and also fulfill his desires.

At the moment of understanding all this, Gao Yuan felt he had a whole new perspective on intrigue. He could not say he had transcended, but he indeed felt enlightened with a whole new world appearing before him.

Gao Yuan thought long and hard, then he couldn’t help but sigh softly, "Justin... is really too formidable."

Ram smiled and said, "There’s no helping it, professional convenience. Hmm, it looks like you’ve come to understand."

"I’ve understood, but there’s still one issue."

Gao Yuan looked at Xinghe, then whispered, "I believe Justin can control the pace of the plan, but I’m still not at ease. So, I’m thinking to replace Xinghe with me. You should declare that I’m the Celestial, that I’m Xinghe."

Ram considered for only a moment before saying, "No problem, that’s easy. The key is that you have to act like an alien – you look more like one than Xinghe."

Xinghe frowned, "You’re taking my place? Hmm, I don’t think that’s a good idea."

Gao Yuan laughed, "Why isn’t it a good idea? I think it’s fantastic. Of course, it’s still best to keep it under wraps as long as possible, but if the Serpent People really want to find an alien, I hope they find me, not you."

Ram nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, there’s only one Xinghe..."

Looking at Gao Yuan, Ram said somewhat awkwardly, "Er, of course, there’s only one of you too. But as a man, we definitely can’t let a little alien girl take on such a big risk, right?"

A little alien girl? She’s old enough to be your ancestor, a legendary ancestor at that.

Ram felt that Gao Yuan was looking at him strangely and so asked in astonishment, "Did I say something wrong?"

"No, that’s exactly it," Gao Yuan replied with a smile and then whispered, "Then it’s settled. They say my blood was drawn. You must have Justin say it that way, and if there’s a need for me to cooperate, I can pretend to be an alien in the future. What do you think?"

Gao Yuan felt he could finally truly participate in the plan, not as a bystander, not as an outsider.

Ram said seriously, "Yes, at times, you will need to show some alien traits. There will be many such opportunities. Er, as I said before, you actually look more like an alien than Xinghe, so with a few more missions, what need is there for any disguise?"

After finishing, Ram suddenly said, "We can refine this later, but now I want to find Morgan, and then we’ll quickly... Is it okay to draw your blood?"

Ram was addressing Gao Yuan, who after a brief pause, realized Ram had already started to treat him as an alien.

Getting into character so quickly – is that really a quality of an underworld boss?

Thinking of Morgan’s condition, with his illness becoming very serious, Gao Yuan understood Ram’s urgency and immediately replied, "No problem, we need to go to the hospital to draw blood, right? Let’s go now, the sooner we use it, the better. Because the Nanobots self-replicating will take some time, and I’m worried we might not have enough time if we delay."

Role-playing? Who can’t do that.
