A Feast Too Good to Refuse

"Don't rush," Wang Wen said, looking at him. "This gift is too much for me to accept. Tell me who was involved, and I'll return it all at once."

"Courtesy..." Mr. Lin, the head of the Fifth Consortium, looked up at the large light bulb overhead.

He swallowed hard.

He said with great backbone, "Since I'm going to die anyway, why should I betray others? If you want to kill me, come at me."

Wang Wen nodded. "So there were other people involved, huh? I understand."

Mr. Lin was stunned.

I was just about to say something.

Wang Wen then vowed, "Bring all the heads of the conglomerates involved in this matter to me."

Then.

The heads of the sixth, eighth, and ninth consortia; Ms. Xu, the female head of the Seventh Consortium; and the middle-aged, overweight man from the Tenth Consortium.

They all appeared before the crowd.

There were even others besides these few!

Jiang Zheng, the former vice president who had left the Guard Department to join the Academy, walked up to someone and asked suspiciously, "Boss Yue, what are you doing here? How dare you join in this kind of fun?"

The man Jiang Zheng referred to as "Boss Yue" first looked around blankly.

When he caught a glimpse of the enormous sphere of light above his head out of the corner of his eye, he shuddered violently.

Then he noticed Wang Wen staring at him.

He mumbled "I" for a long time without uttering a complete sentence, then burst into tears, wailing things like "That damned brat killed me."

Wang Wen asked Jiang Zheng, "Your friend?"

Jiang Zheng quickly waved his hand. "How could that be? Isn't this the big boss of the Yue Lun Group who brought you here when you came to the Guard Department to register your tower floor? That burly man who stopped you in the street shouting and yelling is his brother."

Wang Wen couldn't recall anything from so long ago, but after Jiang Zheng explained, she suddenly realized.

On the other side, Chen Hansheng, his face contorted with anguish, questioned one of them, "Are you blind to dare make this kind of money! Didn't you even bother to find out who the buyer was?"

The man lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before looking up and saying, "I did it voluntarily! I think they have a point. This world cannot be ruled by a single Tower Climber, otherwise, wouldn't chaos reign?"

Chen Hansheng's body trembled.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that everyone around me was looking in our direction.

Helplessly, he uttered the words: "Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are inescapable!"

He turned and left.

Wang Wen asked Chen Hansheng, "Your friend?"

Chen Hansheng nodded.

He shook his head again and said, "We were pretty good partners, I never thought he'd be so foolish."

Wang Wen laughed and advised him, "What's so foolish about that? If it were me, I wouldn't want any single individual to oppress me either."

Chen Hansheng was taken aback. "But..."

"But what?" Wang Wen spread her hands. "You should know that I never intended to do anything to the major conglomerates. It's always them who made up their own stories and then came looking for trouble with me."

As they were talking.

Wang Wen's gaze shifted to the most eye-catching person in the room— Zhou Dafu, the president of the First Consortium.

From the moment the oath is taken.

Wang Wen sensed that something was wrong.

The amount of energy consumed is far, far greater than imagined.

There must be some high-level individuals among the participants, making it more costly to forcibly teleport them.

Nearly half of the energy!

Given his current total value, this level of expenditure could very well pull someone directly out of the World Tower!

Moreover, the World Tower must be willing to release the talent.

Unexpected.

I thought only six conglomerates would participate, but so many people showed up.

Even more unexpectedly...

Zhou Dafu of the First Consortium was also among them.

At this moment, Zhou Shengsheng was already holding Zhou Dafu and crying uncontrollably.

Zhou Shengsheng, who had followed Wang Wen all the way here, naturally understood what kind of fate these people would face.

He never expected that his father, who had repeatedly said he wouldn't get involved, would ultimately do so.

He kept asking "Why?"

Zhou Dafu remained silent.

He occasionally shook his head with a wry smile.

Wang Wen walked over and asked Zhou Dafu in a friendly manner, "What's the full name of the First Consortium?"

Zhou Dafu looked up and introduced the company as if chatting with an old friend, "We started out in the jewelry business; our full name is Zhou Jewelry Group."

Wang Wen nodded and praised, "It's great, much more understated and simple than the name 'Tiansheng ' in Tiansheng Group."

Zhou Dafu smiled and asked with some curiosity, "I heard from Lao Wu that you managed to get us all here with just one mention of being a 'related participant.' What kind of skill is that? Is the 700th floor really that invincible?"

Wang Wen asked with even more curiosity, "I also find it strange. Logically speaking, you have no need to get involved in this kind of thing. Are rich kids really that brainless?"

"At my position, whether you participate or not is no longer up to you." Zhou Dafu looked around and sighed, "Look at all these people; many of them probably only provided help in a small part of the process, and yet they've all gotten here."

He turned to look at Wang Wen: "The First Consortium is a large and powerful conglomerate. The board of directors is throwing the accounting books at me, and I don't even have a chance to refuse. Besides, the profits that Lao Wu and the others are giving up are too much. I can't resist."

"Bullshit!" Chen Hansheng yelled at him, "You clearly can't stand to see our the Academy and Universal Love rise to prominence, and you're afraid they'll steal your number one spot!"

Zhou Dafu nodded with a wry smile, "That understanding isn't wrong either."

Wang Wen took a deep breath.

Addressing the numerous heads of conglomerates, he said loudly, "Gentlemen, I have never touched the interests of any of your conglomerates, so why are you so determined to harass me? Is it wrong for me to focus on climbing the tower?"

The entire room fell silent.

No one spoke.

Only Mr. Lin, the head of the Fifth Consortium, laughed recklessly, "Focusing on climbing the tower is not wrong, but climbing too high is your mistake."

Wang Wen frowned.

With mixed feelings, he sighed, "This world is so strange! It can't stand to see others doing well!"

Perhaps they were infected by President Lin's "dead pig mentality."

The other members of the Six Great Consortiums also laughed, "The world can't be wrong, you must be wrong!"

"Exactly! Who told you to be so ridiculously strong and invincible?"

"Nobody can control you, you get to decide everything. Who do you think you are? The emperor?"

"You guys went too far! Show some mercy!"

"Ugh! What a coward! I'm going to die today anyway, might as well just get it over with!"

"That's right, I've even written my will..."

Outside.

Zhu Xingguo rushed over upon hearing the news.

Pushing through the crowd to Wang Wen's side, he glanced at the bright light bulb overhead and asked breathlessly, "Master, are you alright? I came as soon as I heard the news."

Wang Wen looked at him, both amused and exasperated. "What are you doing here? How could a tiny nuclear bomb possibly hurt me?"

Zhu Xingguo nodded in agreement. "Let's see if there's anything I can do."

He turned to the heads of various conglomerates sitting on the ground, his face cold, and said, "These are the guys who did this, aren't they? Give them each a mosquito!"

All of Wang Wen's friends around her seemed somewhat indignant.

They were extremely displeased with the shameless behavior of the major conglomerates.

Despite the other side committing heinous acts such as dropping nuclear bombs, they turned around and blamed Wang Wen.

What kind of illogical nonsense is this?

All the friends agreed that Zhu Xingguo should give each of these scoundrels a mosquito!

Even if some people who are not very familiar with Zhu Xingguo don't understand what a mosquito is, it doesn't stop them from cheering enthusiastically.

The major conglomerates knew full well that they were doomed to fail today.

I finally felt more relaxed.

They showed no fear whatsoever; instead, they joked around and seemed quite cheerful.

They all called themselves heroes who were not afraid of death and were willing to speak out against injustice for the world.

result.

Wang Wen suddenly shook her head, stopping Zhu Xingguo from making a move.

Zhu Xingguo was puzzled.

His friends were puzzled.

Even the mangy dog on the other side was puzzled.

All eyes in the room turned to Wang Wen.

He simply said, "I think President Lin and President Xu are right."

Chen Hansheng dislocated his jaw.

He quickly leaned closer and whispered, "My dear brother! Please don't spout your 'harmless' rhetoric anymore! How can we continue in this situation if you're contradicting yourself?"

Wang Wen glanced at him, smiled, and said, "I was thinking, Mr. Lin and the others are being so hospitable, it's really hard for me to refuse."

He turned to look at all the people staring at him in disbelief and said loudly, "Since you have all requested it so repeatedly, then from today onwards, I will reluctantly become an emperor!"
