Chapter 493 Paris's Calculation and Overfulfillment
Lin Yu left the office under the guidance of President Paris's driver.
Although Lin Yu's final words seemed like he was going to tell tales, it was precisely because he said them that President Paris was sure that Lin Yu would not say anything.
This statement, which seems like a teasing and a joke, is actually a signal of goodwill.
After all, President Paris had just negotiated with Lin Yu out of goodwill.
Otherwise, he would not have told Lin Yu so much information he knew.
"This mysterious guy's origins are unknown. Although Miss Huo Le trusts him, it's hard to say whether there is someone else behind him or who else...
Paris could certainly sense that Lin Yu was deliberately testing him or even trying to trick him.
But Paris certainly wouldn't think that Lin Yu was just trying to trick people because he didn't know all this.
He simply thought that the other party wanted to know how much he knew about the current situation of the struggle between several nobles.
"Who is it that wants to understand me or win me over... Excluding Lord Huoshu, could it be someone from the Qiu family?"
"The worst-case scenario is that Miss Huo Le might have become suspicious of me and deliberately sent him here to test and pressure me..."
Paris thought about it and felt that it was extremely troublesome.
Ordinary people thought that he was now in a high position of power, standing on the top of the city that never sleeps.
But Paris knew very well that even though he could not be said to be walking on thin ice and had some background, in the final analysis, he still had no foundation!
Because you are standing on the top of the mountain, you can look up and see the dark sky!
It would be fine on normal days, but now three of the five nobles are about to transfer power. Who knows how many civilians' lives and property will be lost in this terrifying vortex.
Even though Paris was far more important than the lower and middle class residents, he was closer to the center of the struggle than most people.
"But perhaps that's why this 'detective' came to me to show his goodwill," Paris muttered to himself as he took a bite of the orange in his hand, letting the juice splash onto the table. "They say he owes me a favor, but in essence, he's trying to trade and cooperate with me..."
"He's been pretending to be a coward and a loser for so long, and now that the situation is chaotic, he's finally showing his true colors. He hasn't revealed any flaws for so long, I can't see any. I guess few people in the City That Never Sleeps know this side of him... So, it seems he's even more of a formidable figure than I imagined."
Paris recalled the brief negotiation between the two men just now, as if he saw an ambitious careerist.
"'Copper of Hatred', 'Emerald Laurel', 'Heart Stone'... these items shouldn't come from nowhere. Let's keep an eye on them for him."
"Truth Company's 'Emotional Energy,' Divine Power Group's 'Life Transformation,' and the Universal Chamber of Commerce's 'Fusion Implantation'... dabbling in three forbidden alchemies simultaneously. Tsk, only these mysterious guys from outside the city would dare to do it. If this yields any results, that wouldn't be bad."
Thinking of this, Paris waved his hand.
Another hidden door opened, and footsteps stopped behind Paris.
"You just watched the whole thing. What do you think of that guy? Is he trustworthy?"
Paris was met with silence.
Paris turned around, looked at the newcomer, and said unhappily, "Why, after being out of touch for a while in the wilderness, your brain isn't working anymore after you came back?"
"I'm asking for your opinion—didn't you meet him on the train? You can't even make an assessment of someone you've just met?"
Standing behind Paris, Stiller sighed.
"I don't know. I just feel like he's a completely different person than he was on the train."
Paris nodded: "It seems that he is really good at pretending."
Stiller really wanted to remind Paris that they were not pretending, but two real people.
But he hesitated for a moment and finally didn't speak.
After all, Stiller couldn't explain to Paris how he knew that the other person was not himself, but another guy who could perfectly disguise himself as someone else.
He concealed the fact that he had become a follower of a "player" from Paris, and only said that he was in the Great Wilderness before.
On the other hand, before meeting Paris and when following Lin Yu, Stiller had always believed that he was loyal to Truth Company and President Paris first.
After all, everything she has was given by Paris.
His status, wealth, even his abilities and life itself, all came from Paris.
but……
When he saw "Forbolo" walk into the dark security room and took a few seconds to confirm that it was Lin Yu...
Stiller was caught in a dilemma.
Because of the overriding connection between him and Lin Yu, Stiller could not do anything to directly harm Lin Yu.
But this does not mean that Stiller must prioritize Lin Yu's interests under any circumstances.
But even if Stiller had the choice...
In the end, standing in front of President Paris, Stiller still did not tell Paris the truth.
"Maybe... Lin Yu won't do anything bad to Paris..."
Stiller thought about it and just reminded President Paris.
"Well, President... I think you should be prepared. He might need to use this 'favor' soon."
Stiller said.
"And that guy might get into big trouble soon."
As he spoke, President Paris laughed: "Then I'd like to see how much trouble he can cause!"
When Stiller saw President Paris so confident, he suddenly realized something.
yes……
What are you worried about?
Both Lin Yu and Paris are extremely intelligent and far superior to himself.
There is absolutely no need to worry about this and that here!
"let it go!"
Stiller thought about it and entered the bad mode.
……
In the car driving smoothly on the road of the city that never sleeps, Lin Yu closed his eyes and rested again.
"I successfully found a way to see Nevernight Fire Music from Paris, and also found a reason to see Nevernight Fire Music..."
"More importantly, I now have a basic understanding of Nevernight Fire Music. After we meet, I should be able to cooperate and adapt to the situation without revealing any flaws... This can be considered as exceeding my goal."
"Stiller should have already met Paris. I think after spending some time with him, he'll definitely remain neutral... But it's too hasty. If it's any later, I'm afraid he'll completely side with me."
Lin Yu thought about it, and then felt a little emotional.
"Anyway, we've done everything we can to the utmost... Now it all depends on luck. I hope everything goes well."
"Anyway, it's really thanks to Fu Luo for saying something last time."
"Of course, it's not in vain that I'm using his identity - at least next time Fu Luo will find that his relationship with President Paris has improved!"
