Chapter 168 You are right
"Chu Lan, I think the president called us together this time not just to test our strength." Lu Linglong said softly. Although her voice was soft, she obviously had her own opinions on what was about to happen.
Zhang Chulan tilted his head slightly, looking at the clever partner beside him, a faint smile on his face: "Oh? Then tell me, what exactly is the president's intention?"
Lu Linglong frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have a feeling that the president wants to discuss something important with us. Perhaps it's about the future direction of the alien world, or perhaps some secrets we haven't yet learned."
"These are just speculations, without any solid evidence to support them." Li Qiankun calmly interjected from the side. His voice was steady and powerful, as if it could calm the inexplicable panic in the hearts of those around him.
Zhang Chulan nodded in agreement. "Qian Kun is right. We can't just act on speculation. However, since the president has already sent someone to invite us, why don't we go to the conference room and see what he wants to discuss with us."
Just as everyone was about to enter the building, a stern-looking man in a black suit walked over and bowed slightly to them. "Everyone, please follow me. President Ishikawa has been waiting in the conference room for a long time."
The group followed the man through a long corridor, eventually arriving at a conference room decorated in a simple yet solemn style. Pushing the door open, a faint aroma of tea filled the air. President Ishikawa sat at the head table, smiling, his eyes revealing an elusive depth.
"Welcome everyone, please take a seat." President Ishikawa's voice was warm, as if it could instantly soothe people's anxiety.
Everyone took their seats one by one, and Zhang Chulan spoke first: "President, you suddenly called us together. I wonder why?"
Chairman Ishikawa smiled softly, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Li Qiankun: "Actually, the reason I invited you here this time is to discuss something about the demon sword."
"Demon Sword?" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. The Demon Sword was the Ishikawa family's heirloom, said to possess powerful strength and an uncontrollable curse capable of devouring the user's soul.
President Ishikawa nodded slowly, his expression becoming serious: "Yes, this demon sword has suddenly lost control recently and started to attack people indiscriminately.
Although my Ishikawa family has protected it for generations, we are now unable to suppress its tyranny. Therefore, I hope you can help me solve this problem."
Zhang Chulan frowned, thinking to himself: This demon sword thing might not be that simple. Meanwhile, Lu Linglong was curious, clearly fascinated by this legendary demon sword.
Li Qiankun remained calm. He asked, "President, how do you want us to solve this problem? Should we seal it, or..."
"No, I hope you can find the reason why it got out of control and solve this problem completely." President Ishikawa interrupted Li Qiankun with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
Just as everyone was about to ask further questions, President Ishikawa suddenly stood up, pulled out an antique box from a nearby cabinet, and carefully placed it on the table. He had a strange smile on his face, as if he was about to reveal a shocking secret.
"This is the reward that the Tokugawa and Yamamoto families deserve, but before that, I hope you can take a look at this first." As he said, he gently opened the box, and inside was a demon sword flashing with cold light, and a document.
Seeing this, Tokugawa and Yamamoto's faces turned pale in an instant. They glared at President Ishikawa and said, "What do you mean by this? Are you threatening us?"
President Ishikawa smiled slightly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Threat? No, I just want you to understand that the balance of the alien world is not static. I am already well aware of your plans for the Ishikawa family's assets."
Tokugawa and Yamamoto were speechless. They had indeed been eyeing the Ishikawa family's assets for a long time, but they did not expect that President Ishikawa would reveal their ambitions so bluntly.
Seeing this, President Ishikawa nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave. "Alright, I've said what I needed to say. As for your choice, that's your business. However, I must remind you that the future of the alien world lies in the hands of those who are truly wise and courageous."
After saying that, he left the meeting room without looking back, leaving Tokugawa and Yamamoto looking at each other, their hearts full of confusion and anxiety.
"He... why did he suddenly become so strong?" Tokugawa muttered to himself. He really couldn't understand why President Ishikawa suddenly changed his attitude.
Yamamoto's face was gloomy. "I don't know, but I can sense that he seems to be planning something big. We must be careful."
The two men fell into deep thought. After a long while, Tokugawa finally spoke and asked, "What should we do? Should we just give up the fight for the Ishikawa family's assets?"
Yamamoto shook his head, a fierce look in his eyes. "No, we can't just give up like this. But before that, we must first find out what President Ishikawa is trying to do. Only by understanding his true intentions can we formulate a corresponding countermeasure."
Tokugawa nodded in agreement. "You're right. We must investigate thoroughly before making any plans."
