Yang Hai rushed towards Wanghai Cliff in high spirits along the way, and in stark contrast to his happiness was the atmosphere of the Mantofield family at this moment. This defeat was too great a blow to the Mantofield family, and the loss of financial and material resources was a small matter, but the impact of this battle on confidence could not be remedied in any way.

In search of a solution, the Mantofield family gathered a think tank to consult with their staff.

The octagonal cat looked at the communicator with some absent-mindedness, and it kept sending messages - all information in online games.

SEEING POSEIDON UNSCRUPULOUSLY REVEALING HIS WHEREABOUTS, THE OCTAGONAL CAT, AS AN OLD OPPONENT, COULD NOT GUESS ALL OF POSEIDON'S COUNTERMEASURES, BUT AT LEAST HE COULD UNDERSTAND PART OF YANG HAI'S THOUGHTS AT THIS TIME. THE OCTAGONAL CAT SIGHED, OF COURSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO LET HIS OPPONENT PUT PRESSURE ON THE SECRET DRAGON BLOOD GUARD SO UNSCRUPULOUSLY, IF HE DIDN'T RESTRICT POSEIDON'S PLAY, LET THIS TERRIFYING GUY LET GO OF HIS HANDS AND TOSS, WHO KNOWS WHAT HE CAN DO AFTER THE MOST UNSCRUPULOUS WAY?

But the octagonal cat feels that he has the intention to kill the thief at this moment, and he has no power to return to the sky, and he is already a clay statue Bodhisattva at this moment, so he should find a way to survive the current hurdle first.

HE SUDDENLY REMEMBERED WHAT POSEIDON SAID TO HIM MORE THAN A MONTH AGO, WHEN HE TOOK ANDE TO THE DARK GUILD TO FIGHT FOR THE PASS TO THE MISTY ABYSS: "THE PROFESSOR IS INDEED COURAGEOUS, EVEN THOUGH HE IS NOT A PERSON IN THE GAME WORLD, HE DARES TO GO AGAINST DARK, AND HE ALSO STEPPED INTO THE PLATE OF THE MANTOFIELD FAMILY, ADMIRATION AND ADMIRATION." ”

At that time, the octagonal cat man was under the eaves. DARK'S REQUEST FOR THE PASS HAD TO BOW HIS HEAD, AND HE DIDN'T TAKE POSEIDON'S WORDS TO HEART, THINKING THAT HIS OLD RIVAL WAS JUST LOOKING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAUNT HIM. But now that I think about it, the octagonal cat can't help but smile bitterly. Obviously, POSEIDON is not a person who is so bored that he has to take advantage of the slightest verbal advantage, and he probably means that he predicts that he will work for the Mantofield family, and sooner or later he will not end well.

The octagonal cat can detect the unkind gaze cast around him, he still looks light and light on the surface, but the bitterness in his heart is like a person drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing. IT'S DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD TIME TODAY, THE FAMILY AFFAIRS ARE TOO COMPLICATED, EXCEPT FOR JACK AND CRISTINA, THE OTHER PEOPLE OF THE MANTOFIELD FAMILY WHO USED TO TALK AND LAUGH WITH THEMSELVES. There are a few who really trust themselves...... None of the octagonal cats had the confidence to say even one.

Look at the situation of today's three-session trial...... Maybe the CENTURY guild is about to change.

Patriarch Butz walked into the room with a few cronies, and the empty conference room, which had been a little whispering, immediately became quiet. Everyone is looking at their noses and noses, and they don't want to be the first birds to lead the topic today. Patriarch Butz always looked like a corporal, but the people who could sit in this room today were either members of the Mantofield family. Either they are the thinkers and staff members who have been in this family for a long time, and they all know how to protect themselves, and they all know what kind of face is hidden under the veil of warmth and affection of this big family. They have all borrowed this face more than once to eliminate dissidents and strike at the enemy. The struggle for power and profit, of course, will not be deceived by the very gentle look of Patriarch Butz.

Butz seems to be intolerant of lead air. He coughed twice and said, "This time." We lost to DARK again. ”

Although Butz used a declarative sentence, the words in the sentence accurately expressed the emotions of the patriarch at this moment.

Butz looked at the still silent crowd and eased his breath slightly: "I called everyone here today to discuss two things. The first thing is that we need to summarize the reasons for the loss, and the second thing is to discuss the future countermeasures and the direction of the CENTURY guild. ”

Boots spoke very vaguely, but the octagonal cat understood what he meant. …,

The first thing is to find a scapegoat for this failure; The second thing is to discuss how to redistribute power.

The octagonal cat could feel the fiery gazes cast by the people around him, and he knew very well that there were too many people in the family who didn't want him to continue to sit in this position. AT THIS MOMENT, THE OCTAGONAL CAT, WHO HAD ALWAYS BEEN IN A STATE OF FLUX, FELT ANGRY FOR NO REASON - IF POSEIDON WAS TREATED LIKE THIS IN DARK, WOULD HE DEFINITELY LOSE TO HIM? But he knew very well that superfluous emotions did not help to solve the problem, so the octagonal cat did not continue to be angry, but continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

"Everybody's giving their opinions." Bootz said.

JACK IS VERY RELUCTANT TO BE THE FIRST BIRD, BUT HE KNOWS VERY WELL THAT HIS UNCLE IS NOT A VERY PATIENT PERSON, AND IF EVERYONE DOESN'T SPEAK, MY UNCLE WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO POINT TO THE PROFESSOR'S HEAD WHEN THE TIME COMES. AFTER SPENDING MONTHS WITH THE OCTAGONAL CAT, JACK ADMIRED THE PROFESSOR IMMENSELY, AND HE WAS VERY SURE THAT THE OCTAGONAL CAT WAS THE MOST SUITABLE IEC FOR THE CENTURY, AND IF HE HAD REPLACED ANYONE ELSE TO PLAY AGAINST POSEIDON, I AM AFRAID THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP BY POSEIDON.

Instead of watching the professor be unlucky, it is better to attract the fire to himself first.

SO JACK SAID, "THIS TIME, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO WIN, IT'S JUST THAT POSEIDON IS TOO GOOD, SO WE'RE GOING TO FAIL." ”

JACK WAS TELLING THE TRUTH, BUT HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH THAT MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR, AND HE GOT A LOT OF DISDAINFUL GLANCES.

Boots may not have been unaware of this, but he couldn't say anything, or he had other ideas in mind, so he was silent.

FINALLY, SOMEONE COULDN'T HELP BUT STAND UP AND RETORT TO JACK: "IS IT REALLY POSEIDON THAT IS TOO POWERFUL?" I think it's true that this time we had a problem with the big picture when we were planning. If we just take advantage of the loopholes of the DARK Chamber of Commerce and drag them for two days, we can make a beautiful comeback battle steadily. It's a pity that we are greedy and try to destroy the DARK Chamber of Commerce at once. will chase too deep, and be given the opportunity to counterattack. ”

JACK SAID ANGRILY: "OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO SEIZE THE GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DESTROY THE DARK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, DO YOU STILL HAVE MERCY ON THE ENEMY?" ”

"That's why I said there was a problem with the big picture." THE MEMBER OF THE THINK TANK WHO HAD JUST REFUTED JACK SAID WITH AN UNCHANGING FACE: "THIS IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY AT ALL, POSEIDON HAS THE ABILITY TO SOLVE US." However, some people failed to see this, and when they formulated the plan, they tried in vain to complete the battle, and it ended dismally. Why can't you be a little more steady? ”

Hold it down? JACK WAS SO ANGRY THAT HE COULDN'T SPEAK, THE SITUATION ON THE BATTLEFIELD IS CHANGING RAPIDLY, IF THERE IS A CHANCE OF MORE THAN 8 PERCENT AND STILL DARE NOT BET, THEN WHAT ELSE DO YOU COME OUT TO DO, WHAT KIND OF SOCIETY DO YOU MIX? Just hide in your mother's arms and breastfeed. JACK COULDN'T RESIST THE TAUNT, BECAUSE FACTS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, AND THE OCTAGONAL CAT WAS DEFEATED. At this time, no matter how sharp JACK's words are, it is just in vain.

WHAT MAKES JACK FEEL EVEN MORE POWERLESS IS THAT ALTHOUGH HE JUMPED OUT ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE, IT IS CLEAR THAT MOST PEOPLE REGARD THE OCTAGONAL CAT AS THE MAIN TARGET TODAY. The fire was not distracted by his presence - no one took him seriously at all.

"yes, you can't think that a good chance is a good chance to win, right?"

"This time we didn't lose to DARK, we lost completely by our own hands."

"We are hot-headed by the praise of the outside world, and this kind of pride is unacceptable."

Someone took the lead in firing the cannon, and all kinds of cool words poured up. A sneer appeared on the corner of the octagonal cat's mouth, he had never taken these people seriously, these people were not people with a self-critical spirit, and the "we" they said in their mouths probably meant themselves, right?

In the midst of a chaotic crusade. Boots finally spoke, looking at the octagonal cat, who had been silent. said, "Professor, can you tell me about it too?" ”…,

The octagonal cat looked up. Looking directly at Butz's eyes, the octagonal cat of course knows what to do at this time, he is already a fine person, in the power struggle to preserve his strength, relying on his position and refusing to retreat, he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, the octagonal cat also knows that his face is by no means thin, of course, there is no psychological pressure to do such a thing. He knew what Butz was waiting for, as long as he said a few soft words and swore allegiance to the Mantofield family at this moment, it was impossible for Patriarch Butz not to see his own value, and he really sent those guys who were not bullshit to replace him as IEC, and the probability of surviving himself was as high as eighty percent.

However, at this moment, the words of groveling and enduring humiliation that the octagonal cat had already prepared were unspeakable.

The former octagonal cat was disdainful of Xiang Yu, in his opinion, everyone said that Xiang Yu was brave in the world, but the real bravery was the courage to face failure, just like Gou Jian, who endured humiliation for 18 years, and finally got revenge and became a generation of overlords.

For so many years, he has believed in Goujianism.

He never thought it would be so hard to say a soft word.

The octagonal cat thought a little sadly, it seems that it is really difficult to pass this level today - why do I just not want to bow my head?

But there seemed to be a voice whispering in his heart, low and faint, but it was like a morning bell, deafening.

Why do you bow your head?

Why do you want to admit defeat?

Is it game over? CAN'T I COMPLETE THE EARTH-SHATTERING REVERSAL THAT POSEIDON CAN ACCOMPLISH?

Why!

I FORCED POSEIDON INTO A SITUATION WHERE THERE WAS NO WAY BACK!

In the shadow of the DARK Chamber of Commerce, I carved out Thundercloud City as a stronghold for the Secret Dragon Blood Guard!

I single-handedly saved the dying CENTURY Guild!

I PUT POSEIDON FIRMLY ON THE IGP LIST AND CAN'T TURN OVER!

I'll admit I lost to him in this matter, but so what? Who hasn't lost? Now the Secret Dragon Blood Guard is still ahead of the Dragon Guardian's IGP of 5000!

Besides, this war is not over!

A true player who would never give up a game before the game ends, and now is it time for me to admit my defeat?

Dream on!

The octagonal cat smiled bitterly in his heart, it looks like he has passed this level very hard today. Noh said that games can easily change a person. That's probably what it means. However, he did not regret it, he had never been so eager to listen to his inner voice as he is today.

So in Butz's meaningful gaze, the octagonal cat sneered and said, "Patriarch." I don't know what to say. This time we were defeated, and POSEIDON was able to successfully invade the central domain at the last moment, which no one could have predicted. If this is called a bad sense of the big picture, then those of you who think they have a good view of the big picture will raise their hands. ”

No one could have predicted the toughness of a defeated general, and Butz was taken aback.

For a moment no one spoke.

"I'll go around in circles, but I don't want to go around in circles at this time." Octagonal Cat's sharp eyes scanned the audience: "I can put the words here, my contract with the Mantofield family will not end until October, and it has been stated when the contract is signed." The right to appoint is in the hands of the family. If any of you want to be in my current position, you can try to convince the Patriarch that if Mr. Butz also thinks that I am indeed unfit to serve as the IEC of CENTURY, then I am willing to give in. But let me remind you who are excited. My poor big-picture view is now reminding me that POSEIDON is ready to embark on a full-scale counteroffensive, and I'm excited to see where my next one can go. ”…,

The octagonal cat's words silenced everyone.

The octagonal cat firmly controls the CENTURY guild, and the so-called water is clear, there are no fish, and the octagonal cat people are old and fine. It's not that he can't tolerate any slight bit of turbidity, but it's even less likely that he will let the CENTURY guild turn into a puddle of mud, so the octagonal cat has cut off many people's money. They plotted to overturn the octagonal cat, but they didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath of the IEC position. At the moment, the IEC of the CENTURY guild is a hot potato. Some people don't want to touch it, and some people are so hungry that they want to touch it. Boots won't allow him to mess around, and the IEC position is a big problem - even an idiot won't jump out at this time. SAY WITH CONFIDENCE: "I'M GOING TO FIGHT POSEIDON." ”

The octagonal cat knows that his words will leave a very bad impression on Boots - arrogance. To put it mildly, his current approach is similar to that of raising his own self-respect, although the practice is very different, but the nature is no different. But now he can't care about that much.

Anyway, I'm the only one left in the IEC who can fight POSEIDON now, and if you dare to remove me from the position of IEC, you can see what you do!

Sure enough, Butz's face changed slightly.

"Professor, you don't have to be so angry, everyone feels bad when you lose to DARK, everyone makes suggestions, it's also for the sake of the family's overall plans, not to target anyone." A man in the conference room said suddenly.

The octagonal cat was stunned, and he recognized the man who spoke as Bell, who was one of the members of the Mantofield family's staff. THE REASON WHY THE OCTAGONAL CAT HAS AN IMPRESSION OF THIS PERSON IS BECAUSE JACK HAS SPECIALLY TOLD HIM TO BE CAREFUL OF THIS PERSON, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THIS BELL HAS NO SERIOUS SKILLS, HE IS "EXPERIENCED" AND "BRILLIANT" IN POLITICAL STRUGGLE, AND SUCH A VILLAIN IS THE MOST TROUBLESOME.

It's really the sun coming out in the west, at such a sensitive moment, with this guy's temperament, he must be able to hide, how could he suddenly open his mouth today?

In the eyes of the octagonal cat, people like Bell are simply the best of the waste, and the battle B in 2B, he never looks at it, such a person, he moves his little finger and presses it to death.

As soon as Bell opened his mouth, the octagonal cat's heart jumped, and then he only heard Bell say, "Professor, in this matter, your approach is indeed inconsiderate. ”

"Oh, what do you think?" The octagonal cat asked with some contempt.

"WHILE YOU HAVE INDEED ACHIEVED GREAT RESULTS IN THE MANTOFIELD FAMILY, YOU SHOULD STILL BE AWARE THAT THERE IS A CLEAR GAP IN STRENGTH BETWEEN YOU AND POSEIDON, DON'T YOU DENY THAT?" Bell shrugged his shoulders: "In that case, you shouldn't be greedy for merit, and everyone's criticism just now is not entirely unreasonable." At this point, if you don't lack the big picture, you're definitely hot-headed for a while. ”

"WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THERE IS A CLEAR GAP IN STRENGTH BETWEEN ME AND POSEIDON? Could it be that Thundercloud City is fake? Could it be that the results on the IGP list are fake? Have I already lost to him? Do we have no hope of victory now? The octagonal cat asked sternly.

"It's not about that, let's just talk about things at the IEC level." BELL'S EYES SUDDENLY DEEPENED: "YOU AND POSEIDON." Now it's already the world's top IEC, but Mr. Octagonal Cat should know the situation of DARK back then, right? DARK's reputation in the gaming industry is rotten, and it is full of scum, and its reputation is much worse than that of the CENTURY guild. But what about now? POSEIDON AND YOU ARE BOTH IEC. The DARK Guild has now been praised by the whole world as the most potential guild, but CENTURY's reputation is still the same as before, and it is called the lackey of the family. DOESN'T THAT ILLUSTRATE THE DIFFERENCE IN STRENGTH BETWEEN YOU AND POSEIDON? Only by humbly seeing the superiority of our opponents can we formulate the most reasonable strategy, and if we turn a blind eye to a powerful enemy, then today's defeat will happen again sooner or later. ”

The octagonal cat's heart almost went into arrest, and he knew the level of that guy from Dao Bell, these words were definitely not something he could say. These words were extremely damaging, not only did they provoke the growing tension between him and the patriarch Butz. And he is also alluding to the fact that he is using the Mantofield family for profit. …,

These words are heart-wrenching, and the octagonal cat reacts sharply, but it is difficult to cope with it for a while.

In an instant, the octagonal cat had a vague guess in his heart. Smiled wryly.

Good means, really good means.

In terms of the comprehensiveness of an IEC, the octagonal cat is indeed not Yang Hai's opponent, the octagonal cat is good at gaming, but Yang Hai does not lose to him in addition to the game. He is also proficient in other aspects. The octagonal cat was silenced, but Bell was clearly not finished.

"And, I think, Professor Octagonal Cat sometimes. Doesn't that seem a bit arbitrary? ”

The octagonal cat punched his spirits and answered Bell's words with his nose.

"IMHO. Professor, I have great admiration for your professionalism. But sometimes, you should also think about the old saying, a fence has three stakes, a hero has three gangs, and I think most of you here want to be able to help you, and have expressed your wishes to do so, but you have all refused. Yes, the situation of the CENTURY guild is gradually improving, but there will always be mistakes in the decision-making of the DARK HALL, even if POSEIDON is engaged in the DARK guild, isn't it almost defeated by you? To avoid making mistakes, brainstorming is essential. When everyone mentions the CENTURY Guild, they used to think of the Mantofield family, but now they only think of you, the professor," Bell glanced at Patriarch Butz's eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile flashed in the corner of his eyes: "I think there will be a big problem sooner or later, but you still don't accept the help of your colleagues, Professor, and we are very helpless." Everyone is not blaming you, the professor's strength is very strong, everyone is willing to assist you, and you are the main one, but you also have to give everyone a chance to speak. ”

POSEIDON, YOU'RE SO CLEVER AND ANOTHER PROVOCATION THAT LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS. The octagonal cat shook his head with a miserable laugh and stared at Bell coldly, wanting to see what else he could say.

"And, Professor, what you said to the Patriarch today also gives me a bad feeling." Bell shrugged his shoulders and completely tore his face: "You just made it clear - only I can fight against POSEIDON, and if you don't need me, Patriarch, just wait for the CENTURY guild to fail." This time the war between you and POSEIDON, please allow me to say a word of cruelty, although this time the war between you and POSEIDON failed, and made countless enemies for the family, but it completely demonstrated your superb IEC level, the whole world knows that you are qualified to fight against the boss of POSEIDON world-level IEC, if the last one, the secret dragon blood guard loses, as you said, the reason is not that you are too weak, but that POSEIDON is too strong, You can just walk away, but the enemies you offend and the resources that the family spends will have to be paid for by the family, which is not fair to the Mantofield family. ”

The conference room was unusually quiet, and only the breathing of a dozen people could be heard.

The octagonal cat is too lazy to defend itself, and the reason why the discord plan is vicious is because even if Butz knows that Doubert is sowing discord, he will still be tricked to alienate him. At this time, no matter what he says, he will appear angry and try to retaliate, so all he can do is keep a straight face and remain silent.

"That's all for today's meeting." Butz hesitated, but still didn't make a decision on the spot.

Everyone left the scene one after another, and the octagonal cat still took the lead in walking out of the court as it had left the Paris court that day. Although the patriarch has not yet made a decision, let Butz make such a mess, the octagonal cat has already understood that even if it is the most optimistic result, a large part of his voice in the CENTURY guild will be divided.

What if it's the most pessimistic?

The octagonal cat really didn't want to think about that possibility.

In the two hours that the octagonal cat was extremely tormented, Yang Hai had already killed all the way to Wanghai Cliff in the online game. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
