Chương 126: Company Closed
"Can I take this as a threat?"
Zane still had a mischievous smile on his face, showing no signs of wavering because of the information.
"No no no! You misunderstand, this is just a friendly warning."
The refined man maintained his polite attitude, but the smug smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be concealed.
"Okay, I understand!"
Zane casually took out his phone and called Skynet.
"Skynet, dissolve Skynet Technologies, back up all the technology data to your database, then destroy it."
"All the company's assets will be donated to the impoverished mountainous areas of the world to build schools for the children, understood?"
"Understood, boss."
"Oh, and remember to leave Anna behind to continue serving as my personal assistant."
"Yes, boss."
Skynet didn't ask any questions, simply complying with Zane's completely unreasonable command.
This was a good subordinate, not questioning their boss in the slightest.
And the reason Zane did this was simple; on one hand, he didn't really care about Skynet Technologies, seeing it more as a shackle on himself than anything else.
On the other hand, Zane's possessions were not toys for others to play with; if they were to be destroyed, he would do it himself.
Zane's thoughts were extreme, but effective!
Didn't you see how dumbfounded the refined man looked now? Wow, buddy, your thought process is really something else.
I came here to negotiate, and you're just destroying your own bargaining chips at every turn!
Shouldn't we be bargaining back and forth, eventually reaching a resolution that satisfies both parties?
Who just comes in and ruins everything from the get-go? Were you a porcupine in your past life, afraid of getting pricked?
Initially, the refined man had some doubts about whether Zane had actually destroyed Skynet Technologies.
But when a specially made phone in his pocket began to ring, his heart sank into the abyss.
Because there was only one number on that phone, and it could only connect to one number, that of the current president of the United States.
"Are you eating shit for breakfast?"
"What the hell did you do? Is this what you call a policy of appeasement?"
"Is the director of the National Security Agency just there to sell their ass!"
"Just now, Skynet Technologies suddenly laid off all its employees, and New York City instantly gained hundreds of thousands of unemployed people. How am I supposed to deal with them?"
"Hundreds of thousands of votes just vanished!"
"And Skynet Technologies' hundreds of billions of dollars have disappeared; that's the money they earned from us, the United States!"
"..."
The refined man no longer had the heart to listen to the president's furious rant.
Now he knew that Zane meant business, and his own future was completely ruined.
The refined man felt like crying.
Buddy, your head isn't made of iron, is it? Shouldn't you negotiate a bit and not risk your life like this!
If Zane knew what the refined man was thinking right now, he would calmly say:
Mate, you shouldn't be worrying about your future right now; you should be worried about your life!
You just threatened a demigod, you know!
The refined man, lost in his own thoughts, didn't see the increasingly cold gaze in Zane's eyes.
But the two battle-hardened bodyguards behind him did notice Zane's undisguised killing intent and quickly drew their specially made pistols, pointing them at Zane.
Zane showed no intention of dodging whatsoever, just calling out casually:
"Bones, take care of them, and remember not to make a mess at home."
Upstairs in the villa, Little Bones was playing a game when she heard Zane's call and instantly phased out.
The game controller she was holding lost its support and bounced a few times on the cushion.
The next moment, Little Bones appeared between Zane and the refined man.
Her ability to phase through solid matter was just instinctive for her as a soul entity.
And seeing a fiery skeleton suddenly appear in front of them, the two bodyguards' pupils constricted, instinctively gasping in shock.
Having crawled out of piles of dead bodies, they didn't scream or let fear weaken their resolve.
After a fleeting moment of surprise, they immediately grabbed the dumbfounded refined man and retreated towards the door.
At the same time, the specially made pistols in their hands sprayed sparks towards Little Bones, without even considering the value of the millions of dollars worth of bullets.
At this moment, nothing was more important than their lives.
At the same time, they cursed those so-called experts in their hearts.
The analysis of those United Nations experts was just as wrong as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s five years ago. Their conclusion, based on Zane's behavior, was that he had an introverted personality.
During this time, although Zane was causing trouble everywhere, the times he acted high-profile were not something mortals like them could reach.
They could only see Zane's usual lazy lifestyle, which was indeed introverted, almost like a shut-in.
It was precisely because of the analysis of those experts that the refined man dared to come find Zane himself, but now he regretted it, regretted it to the core.
But there's no remedy for regret in this world, and even if there were, it wouldn't be something someone like the refined man could afford.
Facing the vibranium bullets shot at her, Little Bones showed no intention of dodging, allowing them to pierce through her body and create large holes.
Before the two bodyguards could raise hope, the holes on Little Bones' body were instantly repaired by blue flames.
"You, are guilty!"
The blue flames on Little Bones' skeleton suddenly surged, coldly pronouncing the death sentence for these three individuals.
The blue sparks emanating from Little Bones' eye sockets made the refined man and his companions feel as if their souls were about to be incinerated.
In Little Bones' worldview, the greatest sin in this world was to offend Zane.
Of course, Little Bones also remembered Zane's command, dragging these three people outside the villa before incinerating them with hellfire.
The three of them didn't even have a chance to scream before they vanished completely, leaving only scattered ashes floating into the garden.
Surely the flowers in the garden next year would bloom even more beautifully...
In a building far from Zane's villa, an agent who had been observing the situation through a telescope saw this scene and immediately reported it to his superiors through his communicator.
"All negotiators are dead, target Zane Sy is extremely dangerous, suspected to possess magical powers, Plan A failed, execute Plan B."
After reporting, he drove away without hesitation; he didn't want to confront Little Bones, who seemed beyond his capabilities alone.
Inside the villa, Lorna, who had sensed something was wrong when Little Bones suddenly disappeared, put down her game and walked downstairs to Zane, asking with concern:
"Darling, what's wrong?"
Zane smiled indifferently, pulling Lorna into his arms and said nonchalantly:
"Sweetheart, Skynet Technologies has closed down, your husband has become a poor pauper!"
After speaking, he playfully buried his head in Lorna's ample bosom and rubbed it a few times.
"Don't be silly!"
Lorna scolded Zane with no hint of anger in her eyes.
