BXBX NOVEL Chapter 308 I like you very much!
“No storm is big enough to force them to go down that path.”
“What about a blizzard?”
“Not even blizzards.”
“Hail?”
“Nope.”
“Meteor rain?”
“Meteor rain? Ha! Imp- wait a minute. Meteor… Rain!! Elliot, you are a genius!!”
“Hehehe. Don’t forget tsunami as well.”
“Right! So if that’s the case then… It could be a mini rune! And if it’s a mini rune… Oh my god. I think I just deciphered another Chilly Pancake Key.”
Even though the other four had no idea what the two of them were talking about, Jessica’s final statement made them supremely excited!
“Good! Very good!” Jul’Taras couldn’t help but cheer when she heard Jessica’s words!
“Ok, I am going back to my lab. Elliot, I’ll contact you via my personal communicator if I need more help ok? See ya!” Jessica Sands quickly shut off the Void Communicator and quickly went back to her lab without another word to the rest of her friends!
She was far, far too excited at her discovery, and couldn’t wait to finish her mission.
“Well, I guess asking her if she is okay with releasing her runes to the Void Clan and the Taras Clan in exchange for whatever she wants, can wait for a few more days?” Jul’Taras remarked to nobody in particular with a laugh.
“It won’t be too late to ask her to consider after she is done with her work. In fact, judging by how excited she was, I think we probably won’t have much longer to wait. Maybe a mont-” However, before Monkey King could finish his sentence, Jessica Sands suddenly popped her head out of her lab!
“HEY GUYS!” She shouted excitedly.
“He-hey Jess! What ? Are you done?” Monkey King asked incredulously. He did say that they probably won’t have much longer to wait, but barely a few seconds had passed!
“Of course not, silly. Hee hee! I just forgot to ask you, do you want to study my completed… Ah Chilly Pancakes recipe? It might take you guys a long time, being non-run- ah, non-pancake geniuses and all, so it would be good if you have a head start!” Jessica Sands asked them innocently.
“Sure. Send them over.” Jul’Taras immediately agreed. Being the ultimate spy, she was not one to reject any new information! “Is it ok if I share them with my Uncle as well?”
“Uncle El? Isn’t he quite scary? Will he scold me like grandpa for playing with Chilly Pancakes?” Jessica Sands frowned.
“NO! I AM NOT SCARY! I AM VERY VERY FRIENDLY!!!!” El’Taras was screaming silently in his mind.
“Uncle El? Of course he’s not scary. He allows me to do anything I want and spend ALL of his money on anything I fancy too. In fact, if you let him study your Chilly Pancake Recipe, I can give you access to his enormous wealth as well… Hee hee.” Jul’Taras giggled lightly as she promised her uncle’s entire fortune away to Jessica!
Jul’Taras’ heart was instantly filled with a warm glow at Jessica’s complete trust in her.
“I will make you the queen of the Universe, Jess, where you rightly belong. Don’t you worry about it.” Jul’Taras whispered lightly as she beheld the wonder of eight Ascendant Runes in her mind.
At that moment, space around them rippled slightly, and two of the most powerful beings of the known Universe stepped out.
Chairman El’Taras and Director Sands.
At that moment, the two of them and Jul’Taras represented three very unique organizations.
The Gaming Commission led by El’Taras.
The Void Clans led by Harold Sands. (I will be referring to Director Sands by his name, Harold Sands from now on)
Elliot’s new Empire, temporarily led by Jul’Taras.
It was nepotism, of course, since they all had prior relationships before that very moment.
But it was what it was.
“Ehm.” Chairman El’Taras coughed lightly to begin the negotiation.
“It will be a twelve-man inner circle.” Jul’Taras immediately started. “And Elliot will choose three.”
“Agreed.” Harold Sands said very easily.
“Agreed.” El’Taras nodded slowly as well.
“Out of the remaining nine, Uncle, Director Sands, Jessica, Wu Kong here and I are five.” Jul’Taras added.
“Agreed.” El’Taras said with a gentle smile.
Of course he found Wu Kong’s addition a little bit awkward. He was but a weak little King. If he wanted to, El’Taras could wipe out his entire clan with but a single word. But it wasn’t about fairness at that moment.
It was about relationships.
Whoever had the relationship with the right people, will automatically get power.
And Wu Kong… His relationship with the prodigy Elliot and the two girls destined him to hold an incredible amount of power.
“Agreed.” Harold Sands nodded. He understood the concept as well.
“Two of you are allowed to choose the remaining four.” Jul’Taras added.
At that, El’Taras and Harold Sands both raised their eyebrows questioningly at her show of extreme generosity.
It was seats within the new Empire’s ruling circle, for crying out loud!
“A show of good faith and our willingness to be cooperative, of course.” Jul’Taras smiled very sweetly.
“Hahaha! Very good! Very good! I like you very, very much!” Harold Sands laughed loudly in great satisfaction. “This is exactly how youngsters should be! Chairman El’Taras, you did an excellent job raising up your niece! She is so respectful! So considerate! Hahaha! Very good!”
However, El’Taras’ face had fallen into a deep, deep frown.
In fact, it was the biggest frown he had in his entire life.
Of course El’Taras was frowning!
He had recognized his niece’s very sweet smile exactly for what it was.
The smile of a viper before it struck!
He definitely won’t be escaping with much of his wealth and dignity that day!
And poor Harold Sands.
He was definitely in for a very, very big shock!
