Chapter 1606: Lonely at the Top

A hearty laugh came from the drone when Loki just stood there with a look of surprise on his face. After a monetary pause, Jiang Chen, who controlled the drone, said.

“Besides my family and loved ones, now you are the fourth person to knows that I am still alive. Go on and tell me how you plan to make me believe you that you will keep this a secret.”

“This kind of promise is not necessary at all. If you don’t believe me, you just need to use the scissors on the drones to get rid of me.” Loki had a faint smile as he watched the gardening scissors on the drone, ” No one will hold the accountability of a dead person. Everyone will definitely think that it was an accident caused by the aging drone, due to the lack of maintenance.”

“Really? But this will affect the reputation of Future Group’s drone products, so let’s forget it.” Jiang Chen laughed.

Loki let out a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Chen’s words.

If Jiang Chen really planned to get rid of him, then he would not care about the “reputation of drone products” at all. Since he could still use this saying as a joke, then Jiang Chen probably didn’t care about the fact that he was still alive.

Actually, when Loki decided to come today, it was a gamble on its own.

Although he did not board SS Origin, the B City Consortium was on the list of the Asset Liquidation Committee. The Asset Liquidation Committee’s explanation was very simple. Although Loki did not board SS Origin, the consortium was not comprised of the Loki family. There were also families including Kennedy, Adams, and even Loki’s sons on SS Origin at this moment.

And the most critical part was that these people received tickets to board the starship all because of their relationship to the B City Consortium.

The Asset Liquidation Committee stated that Loki could retain assets under his own name, but the assets held by the B City Consortium and other family members would be confiscated.

This decision was a death sentence to both B City Consortium and the Loki family.

“I don’t understand, why didn’t you get on the ship? Don’t tell me that you missed it.”

Inside his mansion on Coconut Island, Jiang Chen looked at the wrinkled face in the holographic screen and asked with a smile.

“Except for me, everyone in the Loki family is already on board…including my wife.”

“Why?”

“Because you said, I can live a long time.”

Jiang Chen was taken back for a second, then he laughed out loud.

“Is it fun to laugh at an old man?” Loki said helplessly.

“No, no…” Jiang Chen laughed and waved his hand. “I have just underestimated the attractiveness of an increased lifespan for ordinary people. But haven’t you thought about it? If you stay, maybe you won’t be able to survive even a week?”

“So, my family thought I was crazy, and my wife even thought I got dementia.” Loki sniffed, then narrowed his eyes and looked into the sky as he said with emotion, “I didn’t really care at the time. Before they left, I entrusted the future of the Loki family to my eldest son. I believe he will lead the people who follow us to build a new home in Alpha Centauri…”

Jiang Chen did not deny what he said, nor did he comment, but just smiled instead.

Sooner or later, the Earth Federation would bring Alpha Centauri into its territory.

It could be after the final battle with Harmony, or it could be before.

“I only want to ask one thing here,” Loki paused for a moment, then asked, “Is the deal between us still valid?”

About a few years ago, at a state banquet in Ecuador, Jiang Chen made a deal with Loki. As long as the B City Consortium was willing to help Celestial Trade take the lead in establishing the World Union Reserve, then Jiang Chen would give him an additional lifespan of at least fifty years.

“It depends on you,” Jiang Chen said.

“What do you want me to do” Loki said respectfully.

“Well… there is nothing special you need to do. You just need to do a good job being the president of the World Union Reserve and cooperate with the Provisional Committee. Sooner or later, what should belong to you will belong to you.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“That’s all?”
