Chapter 553 Paris's Commission
Chapter 553 Paris's Commission
After bidding farewell to Nevernight Fire Music, Lin Yu was dropped off by the driver at the main entrance of the Truth Building.
Paris visited the building again as Forboluo, and this time he was already waiting at the door with Stiller.
Lin Yu was a little surprised to see President Paris, who had been electrocuted like a piece of braised meat just now, now standing at the door of the Truth Building with a normal expression.
It seems that the transformation surgery this president underwent was not just the basic type of "primary emotional control".
Lin Yu's understanding of President Paris did not only come from this time when he was with Huo Le in the Nightless City and saw the other party's restrained and submissive attitude.
The last time he confronted President Paris as an enemy on the train, Lin Yu was impressed by this guy's ruthlessness and decisiveness.
In fact, the thought that Fu Luo was also on the train last time and that he was able to change his attitude immediately when seeing Fu Luo this time made Lin Yu have a higher opinion of President Paris.
Although the high-ranking officials and nobles of the City That Never Sleeps rarely take the initiative to undergo transformation surgeries to improve their combat effectiveness, even the most perfect combat transformation surgeries often have various side effects.
In particular, many nobles who inherited alchemy from their families could hardly accept transformation surgery in order to ensure the purity of their "body" and "blood" and maximize the effectiveness of alchemy.
In the City That Never Sleeps, the higher the level of alchemy, the more stringent the requirements for learning and using it.
But Lin Yu had no doubt that a ruthless character like Paris, without any background and knowing that he would not be able to learn alchemy for a period of time, would have secretly completed all the transformation surgeries on himself.
Even the fact of undergoing the transformation surgery itself could be a means for Paris - not only to improve his own combat effectiveness, but also to send a signal to his master and the Buyetian family.
"I've undergone many transformation surgeries, so I'll almost never master alchemy. So if you're looking for a dog, I'm definitely the one you can trust the most!"
This is also why, even though Paris's legal status is much lower than those of the princes and nobles, Lin Yu is still wary of him.
Compared to the best among the royal nobles, such as the head of the Buyetian family and Buyetian Huoxing, guys like Paris who climbed up from the bottom... are difficult to deal with in a different way!
Seeing Lin Yu appear at the door of the Truth Building, President Paris laughed warmly and greeted him with open arms.
"Mr. Forbolo, we meet again!"
Not only were there no signs of electric shock on the body, but Paris also seemed to have psychologically forgotten that he had just been electrocuted by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu calmly avoided Paris who tried to hug him and said, "It wasn't long, Mr. President. We haven't been apart for more than an hour. In fact, the two cars we were riding in were driving one after the other. There was no time between us at all."
As Lin Yu spoke, Paris changed the hug into an arm around his shoulder.
This man, who looked elegant with his neatly slicked-back hair, was like a drunk mercenary from Gray Third Street. He hooked his arm around Lin Yu's shoulder and spoke enthusiastically.
"The situation was different then, with Her Excellency Huo Le present—but now, Miss Huo Le has entrusted you to my care, Mr. Forboluo, so we'll have plenty of time to talk."
"Let's go to my office!"
President Paris spoke cheerfully, and then strode into the Truth Building with Lin Yu.
Lin Yu had no objection to this itinerary.
After the two of them entered, Lin Yu sat on the sofa again and watched the maid bring him orange juice.
Sitting face to face with Paris, in this relatively private environment, Lin Yu spoke again.
"Just now at the Magic Pig Bar, you deliberately let Miss Huo Le scold you, right?"
As Lin Yu spoke, President Paris took a sip of orange juice and laughed.
"Brother, I really can't hide it from you... But it's also true that I was a little too deliberate at the time. I guess the respected Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Sky saw through it."
Lin Yu looked at President Paris and asked curiously, "Why did you do this?"
"Of course, it was because Lord Huo Le was so angry at the time. We, as subordinates, have to understand what our superiors are thinking," Paris said calmly. "Lord Huo Le ordered a team of Buyetian family guards and three security teams. With this deployment, let alone cleaning up Gray Third Street, even if they directly attacked the Shenli Group headquarters, as long as they chose the right time and place, they would probably catch the Shuiyin and Qiu families off guard. Although the head of the family has delegated power to the eldest daughter and she has the right to do so, she is likely to be criticized by her family elders and the company directors for 'abuse of force' if she makes this decision."
"Plus, she went to the Public Security Bureau to help you settle the matter, and also made some benefits to the Sorens family..."
"Berating me, the current president of Truth Company, in public will shut up a lot of people. From now on, anyone planning to take action against you will have to reassess their own weight based on my status and my relationship with her. This will also be like comparing my weight with yours."
"What's more, Mr. Forboluo... you've become quite famous recently. Whether you did it on purpose or not, I think His Excellency Huo Le would be happy to see you become famous again."
President Paris laughed as he spoke. "After all, Mr. Forbolo, you're planning to pursue the esteemed Lord Huo Xing of the Nevernight Sky. It seems like in a few days, I'll have to respectfully address you as 'Lord' every time I see you!"
After President Paris finished speaking, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"I see."
He understood the strange behavior of President Paris just now - after all, this president who climbed up from the bottom and had perfect social skills and ability to guess the intentions of his superiors could never have accidentally offended Huo Le of the Night Sky.
So, Lin Yu had to know why he did it on purpose.
"You're trying to sell me out by doing this, aren't you?" Lin Yu looked at President Paris and asked, "Why, do you need me for something?"
"How dare I? It's mainly because of that flood on the train that nearly destroyed the Dragon King Temple, and I'd like to mend our relationship a bit," President Paris said with a smile. "On the other hand, I do have a small favor I'd appreciate your assistance with..."
Lin Yu nodded without surprise.
"Just come to me if you have something to do. If you don't have anything to do, I won't feel at ease."
Paris nodded. "Then I'll be frank. Tomorrow night, at Lord Huo Xing's coming-of-age ceremony in Nevernight, could you please bring someone in?"
"You are the president of Truth Company, and you can't bring anyone in?"
Lin Yu asked in surprise.
"This person's identity is a bit special. Don't ask who he is. Besides, they're probably going in to steal something—after all, there are quite a few valuable gifts from various families and companies this time," Paris whispered. "So this is a risky business... As an 'outsider', it's not convenient for me to bring anyone in."
"Of course, I won't let you take the risk in vain—this will benefit you too!"
