Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 673 - 499: Virus Conjugate

On the way back to the Bureau, Chen Gu was really calculating his disposable assets, estimating the funds he could mobilize before the next season.

He then checked the transaction amounts for sports club acquisitions over the recent years. The most valuable reference was undoubtedly the club that Mao Yisheng and others belonged to, which had just been acquired before this season.

At that time, the acquisition price was two billion Starshields, but with subsequent investments, the external estimates totaled around three billion.

Chen Gu scratched his head. He could indeed come up with the money, but then he would be left with little on hand.

While he was thinking about the club, his phone suddenly rang. When Chen Gu saw who was calling, he instinctively recoiled, and then after a pause, he cautiously answered, "Director-General."

Aviloya said indifferently, "Has our superstar forgotten his basic duties?"

Chen Gu hurriedly said, "How could that be? In the match against Heibo, the behind-the-scenes manipulators were Bernice and Ding Zhou. I'm also trying to alleviate your concerns, Director-General."

Chen Gu was not one to suffer a loss. If the mighty Director-General spoke in a sarcastic tone, like a bullied young wife, he would be impolite in return, making it crystal clear to her that this whole affair was ultimately due to her!

Although he had gained huge benefits from it, he really was a victim!

Aviloya fell silent for a moment, seemingly not interested in a verbal battle, and said crisply, "Star State has sent another request. As we agreed last time, you go negotiate with them, and then you help them solve their problem."

Chen Gu laughed. "Watch me fleece them."

「...」

The Rights Association exuded a kind of "superiority complex" typical of Star State, and they were notoriously addicted to freeloading. In any cooperation with organizations from other Star Nations, they always masqueraded under various pretexts of righteousness, only to end up taking advantage.

Externally, they still posed with lines like, "We have helped you," or "We are here to rescue you."

Chen Gu was extremely annoyed by this façade.

The current crisis was obviously very serious. According to the Bureau's intelligence, one colonial planet had already completely fallen. Over the past few days, the Moss Virus had continued its rapid spread. Not only had it not been contained, but three more colonial planets were now in imminent danger.

Yet, the Rights Association's "request for cooperation" was still filled with an arrogant tone, as if to say, "We have decided to give the Bureau of Mystic Security a chance to perform."

The person responsible for negotiating with Chen Gu was a high-ranking council member of the Rights Association.

Chen Gu sat at his desk at the appointed time and opened the video call. Once the link was established, the council member named Richard, with deep-set eyes, a hooked nose, and light brown stubble on his cheeks, began, "Chen, this is a good opportunity for your Bureau of Mystic Security..."

"HA!" Chen Gu laughed and then clicked off the call.

A good opportunity? Good my ass! Thanks, but we damn well don't need it!

Far out in the Star Sea, within the secret office building of the Rights Association, senior council member Richard had just begun speaking. He was preparing to pick up his coffee and have a serious discussion with the 'idiot from the Confederation' on the other end of the call. Richard intended to elaborate on the great assistance that helping Star State would provide to the Bureau of Mystic Security and the entire Confederation. However, he was astonished to discover that the other party had abruptly hung up on his video call!

"Bastard!" Richard cursed loudly. "He dared to hang up on me! Sanctions, I must sanction them!"

"A bunch of frogs in a well, backward and ignorant! They can't comprehend the greatness of our Star State!"

After Richard ranted for a while, the door to his office was rudely pushed open. He was already furious, but when he saw it was his boss, Chairman White, he held back his temper.

"How did the negotiations with the Confederation go?"

White looked somewhat anxious. The terror of the Moss Virus had far exceeded their expectations. Recently, the entire Rights Association had been in turmoil, exerting all their efforts but achieving minimal results.

The Bureau of Mystic Security, which had once "defeated" the Moss Virus, had now become the last hope for the Rights Association.

In anger, Richard said, "Your Excellency, those fools have no awareness of the roles they are about to play. They hung up on me without a word." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

White tousled his hair, which now resembled a bird's nest. "So you mean to say there has been no progress in the talks?"

"Er—" Richard sensed that his superior wasn't joining him in his indignation, which he felt wasn't a good sign, but he still argued, "Your Excellency, we are Star State, the greatest in the entire Star Sea! By inviting them, we are greatly acknowledging them; they should feel honored..."

"Shut up, fool!" White was already tired of this "divinely chosen" superiority complex. "We need help right now! I get called and scolded by the higher-ups every three hours, and I don't know how much longer I can hold on!"

"Damn you, Richard! If I go down, I promise you'll be the first to go!"

"Now go and contact the Bureau of Mystic Security again. I don't care how excessive their demands are; even if they demand you get on your knees and lick their boots, I don't give a damn! I just need the Bureau of Mystic Security's support to materialize on the infected planets immediately. Do you understand?"
