Chapter 174 Officially Joining the Water Group
Seeing the two people who were speaking in a friendly tone but in a confrontational atmosphere, Maeve panicked for a moment. Maeve was not worried about Madeline's death. In fact, Madeline's life or death was no longer important to Maeve, but Ling Yuan could not just do it.
The world is not a simple place of fighting and killing. Although Ling Yuan is powerful, killing Madeline will not have any good results. Instead, he will become the target of public criticism, which is not what Maeve wants to see.
What Maeve could think of, Ling Yuan could also think of, so he just wanted to shock Madeline and tell her that he was not like the people in his motherland, nor was he a fool who would just take advantage of a pie in the sky.
"I think Ms. Madeline doesn't have a clear understanding of my strength..." Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Seeing that Madeline was still going to act crazy, Ling Yuan didn't intend to hide it anymore.
Before he finished speaking, Ling Yuan's palm, like a flash of lightning, gently touched the coffee table in front of him. Then, a thin light as thin as a cicada's wing flew out from Ling Yuan's palm. It was the two-dimensional foil that Ling Yuan had rarely used before!
The two-dimensional foil unfolded at an astonishing speed, and everything changed strangely wherever it passed. The coffee table in front of him seemed to be kneaded by an invisible giant hand, quickly twisting and deforming, and finally being forcibly disassembled into two-dimensional planes.
These planes interweave and overlap, forming a strange and gorgeous picture, like a fine abstract work of art. However, behind this beautiful scene lies endless destruction and devastation.
When the last piece of the coffee table also turned into a two-dimensional plane, they fell to the ground like fallen leaves without making a sound. The whole room fell into a deathly silence, with only the "painting" composed of two-dimensional planes lying there quietly, exuding a palpitating breath.
Madeline looked at the coffee table on the ground that had turned into a painting, her face becoming even uglier. She couldn't see the existence of the two-dimensional foil, but the almost miraculous situation before her was enough to shock her. She then realized that what was shown in the video was just the tip of the iceberg of Ling Yuan's powerful strength.
Kara and Maeve were secretly surprised as they watched the scene before them, which could almost be called a miracle. They were sure that if Ling Yuan wanted, this building, or even the entire New York, would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
"As long as I want to exterminate the entire human civilization, please stop using your cheap, meaningless business negotiation tactics against me!"
In an instant, Ling Yuan's eyes were filled with violence, as if he wanted to tear the whole world apart. Madeline looked at him in horror, with an indescribable fear in her heart. She felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and the hair on her body stood up.
The strong murderous intent emanating from Ling Yuan was like a thick haze that tightly enveloped Madeline, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Her body trembled involuntarily, and her forehead, nose, palms... were covered with cold sweat, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare.
In this suffocating atmosphere, time seemed to freeze, and every second became unusually long. Madeline widened her eyes, trying to find a trace of pity or kindness in Ling Yuan's eyes, but all she saw was endless indifference and determination.
This is actually true! It's unbelievable that he really doesn't care about the life and death of human beings! The man named Ling Yuan is even more cruel and indifferent than the people of his motherland!
Although Homelander also possesses extraordinary abilities, he at least retains a trace of humanity and occasionally shows conscience towards certain people or things; however, Ling Yuan is completely different - he seems to have completely abandoned the emotions and conscience that a human being should have.
This was Madeline's most authentic, intuitive and undisguised evaluation of Ling Yuan at this moment - cold and ruthless! His extremely cold and contemptuous eyes were like a high god looking down at the insignificant ants on the ground, filled with endless indifference and disdain. Such an expression made people shudder, and even produce an irresistible sense of oppression and fear.
"Mr. Ling Yuan, do you have any other requests? As long as the Water Group can satisfy it, we will definitely do it!" Madeline said with trembling lips.
At this moment, the fear in her heart could only support her to say such a sentence. Ling Yuan's oppression was too strong. If they were the superiors who held power and money, Ling Yuan was the god who held the power of life and death.
"That's right! Let go of those hypocritical routines and negotiate honestly!" Ling Yuan raised his hand and waved it. The two-dimensional foil was taken back by him, and the coffee table returned to its original state. "I want to build my own superhero team under my own control. I can choose the candidates myself. We can help the Water Group when necessary, but you can't restrict our freedom, and you won't use commercial means!"
"Okay, all of these can be promised to Mr. Ling Yuan!"
Although Madeline was very reluctant, she had to agree due to Ling Yuan's terrifying strength. She knew very well the consequences of agreeing to it. No matter what Ling Yuan did, the Water Group would be blamed in the end.
However, if you think about it from another perspective, Ling Yuan's joining is a huge trump card for the Water Group. He is like a powerful deterrent. Even if the government and the country want to cause trouble for the Water Group, they have to think about themselves.
In order to demonstrate her sincerity, Madeline immediately called in her secretary, printed out a contract exclusively for Ling Yuan, and placed two copies in front of herself and Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan looked at Madeline's cautious look, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. This was exactly the effect he wanted. If he couldn't intimidate Madeline, then even if he joined the Water Group, he would only be a victim of the chaebol and politics.
Ling Yuan signed the contract happily. Madeline kept one copy, and he kept one copy. Looking at the contract, which was like giving money away, with all the clauses in his favor, Ling Yuan was filled with excitement.
"Ding! It is detected that the host has completed the stage mission, and the reward is now issued, Spider-Man Peter Parker!"
Almost the next moment after Ling Yuan signed the contract, the voice of the system came over. Ling Yuan was delighted, put away the contract in his hand calmly, stood up and waved to Madeline.
"That's it! I'm leaving first!"
Kara and Maeve also stood up. Madeline personally escorted the three of them out of the Water Group Building. Looking at their departing backs, Madeline's eyes flashed with a hint of relief for surviving the disaster.
Maeve was no longer planning to control her. Seeing Ling Yuan's attitude towards Maeve, Madeline knew that Maeve should be considered Ling Yuan's person now. Ling Yuan's terrifying strength successfully intimidated her. Now Madeline did not dare to continue to ask Maeve to team up with the other seven people, for fear that her behavior would cause Ling Yuan's dissatisfaction.
