Fallen Chronicles

Chapter 219 Chapter 219: Prosperity Together

Kael Plaza is directly connected to the company’s building. After disembarking from the aircraft, the Sin City advisory group, under strict security measures, didn’t have to face any media interviews and quickly entered the interior of the Kael Technology building escorted by personnel security.

However, Keyji, who was beside Renji, couldn’t help but look back three steps at a time towards the throng of journalists barred outside the building, not with a look of regret on his face, but rather filled with anger.

He wasn’t much interested or concerned about the other questions, but particularly…

“The heck Bro, you shouldn’t have stopped me just now. These journalists are getting more and more shameless for the sake of sensationalism! Asking whether Lady Lena has a boyfriend, pah! How could Lady Lena belong to just one person? If she truly belongs to anyone, it’s to all the people of Sin City!”

Listening to the ranting of this rich second-generation, Eileen, who was traveling with them, laughed. Filled with curiosity, the girl asked, “But what if that day really comes, and someone steals your public lover?”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! All of us in Sin City would never agree to that. If he wants to steal our Lady Lena, he’ll have to step over our dead bodies first! As long as a single Sin City citizen’s blood flows, he wouldn’t even dream of getting close to our Lady! Right, Bro? You must think the same!”

Surprised by the young man’s gaze seeking affirmation, Renji was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Lena to be so popular among the people of Sin City, to the point where even a rich second-generation seemed brainwashed. Even now, Keyji’s expression had transcended the mundane, almost like a moonlit night.

“Indeed, my feelings for Lady Lena are as steadfast as my faith in the Goddess.”

“Eh, Brother, you’re a follower of the Holy Church?” Keyji was immediately surprised.

Renji nodded: “I am a loyal follower of Suthia.”

Hearing this, the young man immediately showed respect. Thinking back to how Renji had compared his steadfast faith to his loyalty to Lady Lena, he felt inferior and gave a thumbs-up.

“Brother, your awareness and devotion to Lady Lena is high. I still have a long way to go and need to learn from you!”

“No, no, no, that’s not necessary.”

Seeing the young man’s puzzled expression after Renji’s words, Eileen, who was enjoying the fun, didn’t forget to take a jab at Keyji: “Mainly because even if you want to, you can’t learn this.”

“That’s true, as for me and religion, better leave it be.”

Keyji nodded in understanding and then began to express his feelings to Renji that this academic exchange was essentially just like being in prison. He didn’t expect Kael Technology to be so harsh, starting to bother them right after they got off the aircraft.

In the young man’s view, either you enforce strict security without allowing journalists in, or if you let them in, let them interview. He would have liked to give those unscrupulous journalists a piece of his mind.

But now, the situation was neither here nor there, and it seemed like they were just trying to annoy them.

Renji, however, shook his head.

“I think you’re misunderstanding Kael Technology. I guess they are also in a dilemma. They want to publicize our arrival through the journalists, but they’re also afraid of illegal elements among them causing us harm. So, they chose a middle ground.”

“Really? What’s the point of going to such lengths?”

Eileen still didn’t quite understand after hearing this, but Keyji seemed to have an epiphany, his eyes suddenly widening in excitement as he understood something.

“Wait! I get it! They want to create hype using us! Kael Technology’s stocks have plummeted, and the market urgently needs some good news from their company. They want to use us and this academic exchange to promote their new weapon technology! That way, people will see that even the high-end technology that we in Sin City can’t unravel, Kael Technology has managed to develop. This could then boost their stock price, which plummeted due to the Dragon Nation issue!”

“No wonder… no wonder! I was wondering why my sister, who dotes on me so much, would be so heartless to send me here. Now I get it, she was hinting at this.”

“Just need to buy Kael Technology’s stocks at a low price now and then sell them high when the exchange meeting starts, and their new technology gets reported and publicized. Their stock price will skyrocket, and I’ll make a killing!”

Keyji became more and more excited as he spoke. This rich second-generation, who had stumbled upon this opportunity to make a fortune, didn’t forget to remind Renji to join in on the wealth.

“Brother, buy low, sell high, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make money! If you have some spare cash, you should take advantage of our first-hand information and quickly buy Kael Technology’s stocks!”

Actually, Keyji’s idea wasn’t wrong, but there’s a prerequisite: the technology not only needs to be sufficiently shocking, it also needs to create a monopoly. Otherwise, if the Sin City advisory group manages to research and understand it in a few days during the exchange meeting, it would be a joke.

But seeing the young man’s eagerness to buy stocks from the “enemy,” it’s clear that he has a lot of “confidence” in their own camp’s strength.

Renji didn’t have much to say about that, only smiling and indicating that he currently had no such plans, while internally realizing why so many rich second-generations don’t engage in serious business, and instead indulge in eating, drinking, and gambling.

It’s not that their families don’t care, but as in the case of Keyji, if he were to “engage in serious business,” he might just end up losing their family fortune even faster.

After discovering this business opportunity, Keyji was no longer interested in chatting with Renji.

He focused all his attention on his phone, seemingly contacting his circle of friends in a frenzy to raise funds and borrow money, preparing to make a big move and recover all his previous losses.

Meanwhile, the advisory group, having entered the company building, was now led to a special VIP hall.

In the center of the hall stood a burly man with a wide back and shoulders, still prominent despite wearing a large suit. Such a figure in the Mechanical Alliance is usually a symbol of high-

The burly man seemed to have been waiting there for a while and quickly approached Caroline, the leader of the group, as they appeared.

“I’m delighted to meet you, Miss Caroline. I am William, the head of the administrative department of Kael Technology, responsible for this academic exchange event.”

“Nice to meet you, Administrator William.”

After a brief handshake between the leaders, William turned his attention to the Sin City scholars.

“I see everyone looks a bit tired, which I completely understand, having traveled for over twenty hours. How about we cancel this afternoon’s schedule? I’ll arrange accommodations for everyone to rest well tonight, and we can start fresh tomorrow?”

William’s suggestion wasn’t immediately answered by Caroline, who instead turned to look at the scholars and professors behind her.

Soon, a scholar with slightly white temples, probably over sixty years old, wearing thick glasses and slightly hunched, stepped forward.
