Chapter 59. Busy Boss Jin
Chapter 59. Busy Boss Jin
Having just finished his trip to R'lyeh, Boss Kim, despite his exhaustion, returned to Toei Company headquarters overnight.
That night, Boss Jin pondered for a long time.
Until the morning light streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the entire office in a golden glow.
"I can't keep up the pretense any longer..."
Jin Yi thought to himself.
After the journey to R'lyeh's ruins, Gatanothor's coordinates have been obtained, and the spatial key provided by Gilamb in friendship has also been acquired. All the excuses used to delay Belial have become useless, and Belial's patience, like the chains binding him, is cracking at a visible speed. The path to the Rainbow Realm is now imperative.
But Jin Yi really didn't want to go.
The balance between Beria and Boss Kim is so fragile and difficult to maintain that it hangs on a feather.
One is a destroyer with immense ambition and powerful force, while the other is an ordinary Earthling. But the Creator played a cruel joke, trapping these two completely unrelated people in one body.
If it were white Belial, it would be fine, but black Belial, due to the remnant soul of Reiblood within him, can only be forever condemned to darkness, with no possibility of redemption. This guy absolutely cannot tolerate the existence of Boss Jin's consciousness.
The current peaceful coexistence is a facade, an unstable balance achieved through the power of the Zetton core. This balance is extremely fragile, and it will be broken once Belial's power exceeds a certain limit.
How will Beria deal with the boss, Mr. Kim, who knows about his dark past and has threatened him?
Hellfire...utterly pulverized...never to be reborn...
It's likely that all the harsh words they uttered before will be reflected in reality, word for word.
This is why Jin Yi, despite possessing a great deal of top-secret information, did not reveal any of it to Belial.
Borges, a cosmic relic, and Grimd, the evil god, are chaotic darkness that originated from the very beginning of the universe, far surpassing Gatanothor in strength. Even Tregear could tame this darkness, so Belial could certainly have his hands on it. But Boss Jin remained completely silent.
Although they are one body, they are not of one mind; each harbors their own ulterior motives and wishes for the other to die.
But now... the balance is about to be broken. As time goes by, Zetton's nuclear deterrent is becoming less and less effective. If we let Belial and Gatanothor fight, no matter which side wins, Boss Ginger and Earth will suffer annihilation.
Sphia's card quietly appeared in Jin Yi's hand, and he tapped it rhythmically on the table. He had a rather bold guess in his mind: if this plan could be implemented smoothly, then the relationship between Boss Jin and Belial might be restored to balance.
But before that... Jin Yi needs some confidence to find someone to verify this crazy idea.
Taking advantage of the last bit of momentum, Jin Yi could squeeze out two or three days at most. Time was of the essence, and he had to take advantage of this gap to deal with the remaining matters.
"Come in--"
The sound of the doorknob turning interrupted his thoughts, and he spoke to the person outside the door.
Then the wooden door opened, and Secretary Gondo swayed in, his steps unsteady, his face sallow, except for two thick black circles around his eyes.
Behind him followed Mitsukuni Shizuma, whose face was full of worry, carrying a huge metal safe in his arms.
Secretary Gondo wiped his face with his hand, trying to cheer himself up.
"Boss... as you instructed, the ancient time machine, Yu Lian, has been brought here."
Kondo's voice was terribly hoarse. Then, he waved his hand, signaling Mitsukuni to put down the safe. With a turn of the key, the ancient time machine shimmered with a mysterious halo in the morning light.
Time Machine - Yuzare.
A precious legacy of an ancient civilization, a magical machine still in operation 3000 million years later, inhabited by the consciousness of Yu Lian, the leader of the ancient Earth Guard Corps.
However, although this thing is extremely precious, the technological barrier between modern technology and the ancient times is too great, and not much useful information can be deciphered. Only Daigo can hear what Yu Lian said clearly; all the others hear are inexplicable noises.
TPC spent a lot of time and effort researching for several months, producing a long report, but less than ten pages contained useful information. As a result, the item became a collectible with more aesthetic value than research value and was shelved by TPC.
Therefore, the message had just been sent out, and in the middle of the night, the item was delivered to Boss Jin in a very straightforward manner.
The procedures haven't been completed yet, but they can be completed later. The only requirement from TPC is that there should be no damage.
The researchers were also very curious about what kind of sparks would fly when this thing fell into the hands of Boss Jin, this alien visitor.
"You did a great job, Gondo, but take care of yourself. This isn't the military; there's no need to risk your life here."
Looking at his secretary, who exuded an ethereal aura but was swaying precariously, Boss Jin felt a pang of sympathy.
Having overly loyal subordinates can sometimes be a problem. Such talented and capable people should be exploited slowly and relentlessly until they are completely worn down.
Employees like these, who work tirelessly day and night, are like cows that produce milk. If they suddenly die, wouldn't Boss Jin lose a good dairy cow?
Hearing his boss's concern, Quan Teng's spirits lifted even higher. He stood at attention and said, "Thank you for your concern, boss, but I feel I can still manage! There's still a lot of work to be done! The last report is invalid, but that's alright, as long as we keep working overtime tonight... you'll see the latest version tomorrow..."
That's enough, that's enough.
Boss Jin quickly gestured to Shizuma Mitsukuni behind him, and helped the seemingly collapsing Gondo to the sofa, allowing his loyal subordinate to rest for a moment. As soon as Gondo's head touched the sofa, he began to snore softly.
Then Boss Jin called Shizuma Mitsukuni back, took out a USB drive, and whispered something.
"How did the editing go for the last 'criticism' of Abbas... ah, the non-trial rally?"
During this period, Shizuma Mitsukuni has not let down Boss Kim's trust. Under the guidance of the famous reporter Onoda, he has learned most of his teacher's skills, but he still humbly said.
"It's only about 80% complete, all thanks to Onoda-sensei. But Boss, rest assured, such a groundbreaking work would be a loss to the world if it weren't meticulously crafted. Please wait a few more days; the finished product will surely satisfy you and everyone else!"
"Ahem, I trust you to handle things."
Jin Yi trusted the future head of the TPU and handed over the USB drive without hesitation.
"This contains video footage from Halloween night... You should know what to do, right?"
"What?!"
Mitsukuni's reaction was extremely intense; if Gondo-senpai hadn't been sound asleep, he would have jumped up in excitement.
He carefully took the USB drive from Boss Jin's hand, as if he were holding some fragile gemstone.
As a key member of TPC, Gwangguk has a deeper understanding of the Halloween miracle than the general public, and he understands better how precious and valuable it is.
He deeply regretted not being able to witness it in person.
Although many photos taken by ordinary people circulated online afterward, the images of the giant and the white dragon that night, which were radiating intense light, were not very clear, and only a blurry halo could be seen.
But this didn't stump Boss Kim. Galactron's eyes are better than any camera device on Earth. Being there in person, plus shooting from 360 degrees up close, every shot could be submitted for the Pulitzer Prize, making the show incredibly entertaining!
Boss Kim solemnly instructed, "This is all firsthand on-site information. I trust your decision, Gwangguk. Place them in the most suitable positions."
Guangguo nodded solemnly: "I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"besides--"
Jin Yi added that he took a proposal out of his drawer.
The five large characters "Ultraman Tiga" on the proposal gleamed in the sunlight.
