Chapter 105 【Greed】 Mission (Ch 105)

Zhou Ke, wearing a gorgeous black and white dress, slowly approached Su Chenxi in front of the door of the ballroom.

As he walked forward, countless passers-by cast glances at him, either with envy or admiration.

But he didn’t care at all and just walked step by step at a steady pace.

Finally, he came behind Su Chenxi.

Su Chenxi was lowering his head slightly at this moment, looking a little lonely, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke called out softly:

“My lady princess, I am late.”

Su Chenxi suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Ke.

For a moment, Su Chenxi’s expression was a little dazed, and her eyes stared at him.

Zhou Ke walked up to her and waved his hand in front of her:

“Let’s go in.”

“Yeah.” Su Chenxi returned to her dignified and calm expression again.

The two walked into the ballroom side by side.

……

Ye Family Financial Building.

Today is not the day for the Skull and Bones Society’s regular report, but [Greed] received an urgent notice.

In order to maintain secrecy, the organization always holds meetings at fixed times, and there are usually very few emergency meetings.

He sat in the elevator in a hurry, looking at his watch from time to time.

He didn’t know what the organization had planned for him.

He also didn’t know whether the leader had called an emergency meeting or Pride had done it on the spur of the moment.

But it’s no big deal.

Thanks to his relationship with Ye Ding, he can enter and leave the building freely.

drop.

He pressed the button for the -1 floor in the elevator and swiped his god card.

The elevators in the Ye Family Financial Building have a feature that they can only operate normally by swiping an ID card according to authority.

The -1 floor was originally an underground garage. Any ordinary employee in the building could enter and exit freely by swiping their card.

However, if someone within the Skull and Bones Society swipes his own god card, the -1 floor will not lead to the underground garage.

Instead, it leads to the meeting room of the Skull and Bones Society headquarters.

drop.

Elevator arrives.

The metal door slowly opened to both sides.

He strolled into the familiar dim room, walked to a seat at the long table in the conference room, and took a seat.

He was not the last to arrive this time.

[Greed] looked around the long table in the conference room.

[Arrogance] Sitting in the first place as always.

[Lust] was just studying her new manicure, not even looking at herself.

Apart from that, the rest of the members have not arrived yet.

【Greed】 looked at 【Pride】 inquiringly.

He really didn’t understand why the Skull and Bones Society would make an exception and hold an emergency meeting, hoping to get some information from him in advance.

But Pride had no intention of speaking. He just sat quietly in the first seat, motionless, like a stone statue.

So [Greed] was no longer anxious and maintained a sitting posture.

Time passed minute by minute, and slowly, the other members of the Skull and Bones Society arrived one after another.

Each of them arrived at the entrance of the room through [Greed], walked slowly to the long table and took a seat.

But [Greed] knew that they did not enter from the elevator entrance of Ye Family Financial Building.

They came from all over the world and were teleported here through various entrances arranged in advance by the Skull and Bones Society.

The identities of all members of the Skull and Bones Society are unknown to each other, and they only call each other by code names.

You may be an elite in your field, or you may just be a poor and destitute little noble.

[Greed] I don’t know if the others have seen the leader, and whether they are absolutely loyal to the organization.

But he knew that he was only working for the Skull and Bones Society for the reward promised by the leader.

He did not think this was disloyalty. After all, there were no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

The relationship between superiors and subordinates that is maintained by interests is a truly reliable relationship.

【Greed】Thinking of this, he suddenly chuckled to himself.

Just for profit…Perhaps, this is why I got the code name [Greed].

With the harsh sound of chair legs rubbing against the ground, the last core leader of the Skull and Bones Society, [Laziness], also took his seat.

At this time, the first [Arrogant] finally stretched his neck twice, glanced around at several members, and then slowly said:

“I know everyone has doubts.”

“Today is not a typical gathering day.”

[Arrogant] paused, coughed twice, and then said in a hoarse voice:

“There was an unexpected incident in the chief’s plan.”

Everyone straightened up nervously and fixed their eyes on Pride.

“According to the arrangements made by the leader, Zhou Ke has been cursed with blood and will not live long.”

“And the date of his scheduled death…”

“Yesterday.”

[Arrogance] was silent.

A strange atmosphere filled the small, dim room.

Then:

“The blood curse would have torn Zhou Ke into pieces yesterday.”

“But he’s alive and well.”

“And the reason for this is…”

“It’s because he got a new relic from God—”

“Four-sided stone.”

[Pride] suddenly turned slightly to the side and faced [Greed] directly:

“【Greed】, is this the reason why Zhou Ke is still alive?”

[Greed] was stunned, not understanding why [Pride] would ask him a question.

He leaned down quickly:

“Since you said so, it must be so.”

“Wrong.” Pride just uttered this word lightly.

The sound was not loud, but it was chilling.

“Wrong. That’s not the reason.”

“The fundamental reason that caused the leader’s plan to deviate from the truth——”

“It’s your infidelity.”

a bolt from the blue.

The other Skull and Bones members took a deep breath in unison and turned their gazes to Greed.

[Greed] felt six pairs of eyes staring at him like sharp blades.

Greed’s voice was a little dry, and he quickly defended himself:

“I have never betrayed you. So far, I have followed your instructions perfectly and carried out my activities according to your orders.”

Arrogance: Unmoved:

“I never said you betrayed me.”

“But you have thoughts of betrayal.”

“The leader knows everything and understands everything. And as his most trusted subordinate, he told me many things.”

“Then I understood everything.”

The gaze beneath the mask of [Pride] seemed to penetrate the heart of [Greed].

He continued in his usual hoarse voice:

“You didn’t betray me.”

“But you have thoughts of betrayal. And you are ready to act. You are testing the edge of betrayal.”

“This time, it’s a warning. It’s also a blow to your heart.”

“The leader asked me to remind you…”

“When faced with a traitor, he will—”

“No mercy for the killing.”

[Greed] stood up, leaned over the long table, and rested his forehead on the cold tabletop:

“I will never betray! I will prove my loyalty to the leader!”

[Arrogant] waved his hand, motioning him to sit down:

“Words are not enough.”

“I received intelligence that Zhou Ke is attending a dance party right now. This is our chance.”

“There is a new task for you to complete.”
