Desiny, meaning 'fate,' is also the name of an alliance formed secretly by four powerful conglomerates.
Kong Kun, one of the board members of Desiny Company, is part of a super monopoly group that rivals the Umbrella Corporation, yet it has remained largely obscure.
Desiny Company is involved in robotic modification technology and most high-tech industries, including defense and military products. However, it has a keen interest in life engineering and biological weaponry. As a result, it has repeatedly sent corporate spies to steal confidential information from Umbrella Corporation, but to no avail.
Although it still cannot compare to Umbrella Corporation, there is an unmistakable momentum suggesting that it is catching up.
"And this time, I need someone to go to Raccoon City to retrieve something. The person I send must possess exceptional intellect and skills. If you can bring back what I want, then all this money will be yours," Kong Kun said.
Listening to Kong Kun's obviously concealed words, Ye Kai felt skeptical. However, as long as he could get to America and Raccoon City, he didn't really care about the rest.
But when he saw the massive bookshelf suddenly parting, he had to admit he was genuinely shaken.
Before him were rows upon rows of stacks that roughly amounted to around fifty million dollars. What nearly blinded his titanium alloy eyes were the enormous red diamonds, massive blue diamonds, and countless pieces of jewelry, along with nearly a cubic meter of gold bars.
Gazing at the dazzling array of jewels, gold bars, and cash, Ye Kai had to admit that his breath quickened.
Even though he had become divine, he shouldn't have been so astonished by such a small amount; even ten times more shouldn't have elicited such a reaction.
Yet the truth was that he had never seen so much cash, so many precious metals and gems. Each piece was exquisite and could easily sell for at least hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"You should understand my offer now. So what’s your answer?"
Seeing Ye Kai's rapid breathing and the faint redness in his eyes, Kong Kun was extremely satisfied. He then gently pressed a button under the table, closing the bookshelf.
"I must say, you are truly a generous person and also a master of psychology."
Ye Kai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them wide and said in a deep voice, "You win, Boss! I doubt many can resist this temptation, but..." At this point, he revealed a strong confidence, "But you have to leave these for me. I believe I will soon be their master."
Kong Kun's lips curled into a smug smile. Even if you are an Ability user with powers beyond ordinary limits, in the end, you will still succumb to money and power.
Seeing a proud Ability user standing above ordinary people bowing down filled him with a pleasure he hadn't felt in a long time. He personally picked up two glasses of champagne and handed one over. "Here's to our pleasant cooperation!"
Ye Kai slightly lowered his posture, smiling lightly as he replied, "Yes, Boss, to a pleasant cooperation!"
Although he was certain that this old fox would never send him alone or trust him so easily just because of his greed.
But at least Ye Kai felt that he had achieved his goal, right? Although he was envious of those stacks of cash and the jade and jewels, he understood that these were merely external possessions that he would eventually acquire.
As for his earlier high-handedness followed by directly asking how to get to Raccoon City and then showing 'greed' in the face of monetary temptation, it was merely the result of simulating the mindset of a successful person or someone in power.
It might not be entirely accurate, but at least it had worked during his time with the Ye Family; it always helped him turn danger into opportunity.
Those in power, successful individuals—ha!
Ye Kai scoffed inwardly. What do these people fear most? It's simply when things are beyond their control. But what they fear even more is—death!
Even when they clearly saw their own hand being burned by fire, they still couldn't help but test it with a gun.
Clearly, he was like a ticking time bomb; any ordinary person nearby would feel extreme threat and insecurity.
And because this group believed in so-called weaknesses, Ye Kai had no choice but to display his own weakness: greed. Whether it was for beauty or money, he craved it all.
Mastering these weaknesses allowed for a calm arrangement; whether it was money or countless beautiful women, for Kong Kun, it was merely a matter of words.
Although he was indeed impacted by these circumstances to a large extent, he never forgot that he was just an outsider in this Dimension.
Thus, Ye Kai succeeded.
Perhaps it could be said that both of them were playing their own good game, but no matter how Kong Kun, the old fox, arranged his backup plans, Ye Kai would not be afraid and had no need to worry.
Because, at worst, he could just hide in the System Space.
Moreover, he had set up many contingencies, and these were not something just anyone could perceive.
One of them was related to Kong Xiaoxiao.
……
Secondly, there was a 'family' type airport.
Looking at Kong Xiaoxiao's eager expression, Ye Kai couldn't help but smile. Perhaps in this world, this world on the brink of a Biochemical crisis, only this woman could slightly capture his attention.
Of course, that was because he still hadn't seen Alice!
Would the Biochemical enthusiasts come over to beat him up because of this? Ye Kai felt a bit worried!
Although it was a pity and he felt an impulse to take this woman away with him, he still had his rationality intact and could only watch helplessly as she was tightly surrounded by her nanny and bodyguards.
As Ye Kai boarded the Hercules and just before the cabin door closed for takeoff, he turned around and shouted loudly, "Your dad is waiting for me to come back so we can get married!"
Hahaha!!!
Seeing the moment when Kong Kun's expression transformed into one of sheer excitement, Ye Kai finally burst into laughter.
"Brother Ye, you really are something...!" Yu Jun couldn't help but smirk at Ye Kai's boldness, his zombie-like face betraying a hint of amusement.
"Hey, what's there to be afraid of!"
Ye Kai shook his head, indicating that there was nothing to fear. Besides, he had no intention of turning back; by the time he reached America, the alarm left on Kong Xiaoxiao's laptop would be activated.
The guy beside him was someone who could poke holes in walls with just his finger. He was not only Ye Kai's partner for this mission but also Kong Kun's eyes and ears watching over him.
Although this guy wasn't very talkative, he didn't overly restrict Ye Kai either. In fact, he kept explaining the applications of various weapons.
Ye Kai felt satisfied with the discrepancies in his dimensional journey as he looked at the piles of firearms and ammunition in the System Space. The sight of rocket launchers and other gear made him grin from ear to ear.
Of course, standard firearms and ammunition were fine, but what thrilled him most was discovering a force that could rival Umbrella in this world—Destiny Company.
Moreover, he had obtained Destiny Company's cutting-edge research achievements—the Cryo Gun and Seven Ultra-Strong Microwave Bombs.
The moment he got his hands on them, Ye Kai trembled with excitement.
This was the first terrifying weapon he had acquired since obtaining the Divine System.
The Cryo Gun could emit a freezing ray at absolute zero within three seconds, capable of freezing various objects.
Although the Cryo Gun only had three rounds of ammunition, each capable of lasting just three seconds, Ye Kai couldn't help but smile broadly. With this gadget in hand, even against a hunter, he was confident he could freeze them solid with a single shot.
As for the super microwave bomb, although it was indeed powerful, Ye Kai felt a bit uneasy and was not very keen on using it.
The microwave bomb is a new type of directed energy weapon that converts microwave beams into electromagnetic energy, damaging the enemy's electronic facilities and personnel.
The destructive power of this bomb can essentially reach the level of tactical nuclear weapons, but it is cleaner and more precise, capable of avoiding collateral damage to civilians and civilian targets, while also significantly reducing or even eliminating casualties on the attacking side.
Suddenly, Ye Kai remembered something and hurriedly shouted in his mind, "Lord God, did you manage to obtain those special materials?"
"Lord God, the data has been collected and stored in the Level One Technology Base. Once the basic materials arrive, we can begin manufacturing the weapons and equipment indicated in the data within ten minutes."
"Yes!!!"
Ye Kai jumped up without a care in the world.
Seeing Yu Jun's surprised and somewhat strange expression, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention. At that moment, he truly felt confident.
As long as he reached Raccoon City and entered the Hive, he would truly rise to power.
