Chapter 1227
Use their money to do your own thing!
The atmosphere in the conference room was tense. Several powerful figures sat together, their faces full of probing. One of them hesitated before speaking, his tone tinged with caution: "Storm One, that Giant of Light..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cui Ming coldly interrupted him, his tone flat yet carrying an unyielding pressure: "Don't even think about coveting the Giant of Light, and don't even consider creating a mechanical version of the Giant of Light. Whoever does will die."
At this moment, Cui Ming was sitting in the main seat, looking calm and chatting with these big shots. He was not at all reserved, but rather exuded an overwhelming aura, as if his harsh warning just now was just a casual remark.
One of the bigwigs frowned, clearly not quite understanding Cui Ming's meaning, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? We create mechanical warriors to protect humanity, what does that have to do with the Giants of Light?"
Cui Ming raised his eyes, glanced at him indifferently, his tone still calm but revealing a hint of impatience: "You want to make mechanical warriors? No problem, do whatever you want. But don't make the Giant of Light version. There's a big shot watching you. You can't afford to offend him."
The meeting room fell silent instantly upon hearing this. Another bigwig, his face filled with confusion and a hint of apprehension, pressed on again, "What do you mean? Who is that important figure? Is he related to the Giant of Light?"
Cui Ming chuckled, shrugged, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "What I mean is, if you want to die, don't drag me into it. This thing has become a bit mystical. If you really push it too far, even I can't protect you."
"."
The five bigwigs fell silent at the same time, their doubts gradually replaced by solemnity. The atmosphere in the conference room instantly became even more oppressive, and even breathing became cautious.
At that moment, a thought arose simultaneously in the minds of all the bigwigs: Should we listen to him?
The answer is yes—of course you should listen!
Damn! You really think we don't know you're the Giant of Light?!
These bigwigs were all internally cursing, but none dared to voice it. They knew perfectly well that Cui Ming's words, seemingly a warning, were in reality a reminder, and even more so, a blatant display of overwhelming power—they were simply not in the same league!
Moreover, according to previous tests by scientists, the power of the Giant of Light is ridiculously strong; it could easily destroy a planet. Its world-destroying power is something they simply cannot contend with.
In this situation, what are these big shots supposed to do?
I have no choice but to obey!
Even if Cui ordered them to abandon all plans to build mechanical giants of light, they would still have to obey. After all, no one wants to risk their life, and no one wants to be targeted by a power capable of destroying a planet. Rather than courting death, they would rather obey and at least preserve their status and lives.
The bigwigs exchanged glances, seeing apprehension and compromise in each other's eyes. They nodded respectfully, "Understood! Storm One, we will absolutely not target the Giant of Light, nor will we create a mechanical version!"
However, those on Cui Ming's side were well aware of the Giant of Light's power and understood the weight of his warning. Yet, some simply didn't learn their lesson and didn't understand the meaning of acting within their capabilities.
Take, for example, those old men from the S Agency, and Rokubungi Gendo, who was lying in the hospital and had just crawled back from the brink of death. Even though they had been beaten to a pulp by Choi Myo, they still hadn't given up on causing trouble—they were single-mindedly focused on turning EVA into the Giant of Light! They were probably blinded by the power that Ultraman Jack had shown before, or perhaps it was their inherent arrogance at work, that they actually believed they could do it, that they could replicate the power of the Giant of Light and transform EVA into an existence comparable to, or even surpassing, the Ultra Warriors.
Cui Ming's side did kill a few people and then took their places.
So when he learned of their plan, he was completely speechless.
It's not that he genuinely can't understand; what are you bunch of idiots thinking?!
Having already witnessed the power of the Giant of Light, and having been beaten half to death himself, they still dared to make such a move. They were simply ignorant of their own limitations, as if they wanted to die even faster. Cui Ming felt helpless and mocking, and was too lazy to even curse them for being stupid.
but
When he saw that their plan also included equipping the mechanical giants with weapons, his eyes lit up slightly—this was a good idea.
It seems I really need to keep an eye on their movements. Rather than letting them waste these resources on the foolish EVA Giant of Light transformation project, I might as well take advantage of the situation and use their resources to support my comrades.
That guy from the countryside, he'll probably like it, right?
After all, no one would refuse a new weapon. Although these weapons made with S-organ resources certainly can't compare to Ultraman Jack's Ultra Bracelet in terms of power, having a new weapon in hand can always come in handy and help a lot.
It's common knowledge throughout the universe that Ultraman Jack's Ultra Bracelet is his primary attack weapon, just like everyone knows that Ultraman Seven uses a seductive charm—it's an open "little secret." If Go, as Jack's human form, had an additional auxiliary weapon, future battles would be much easier.
Cui Ming's lips curled into a calculating smile, and he already had a plan in mind—since these idiots insisted on jumping into the fire pit, then he wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of them, use their resources to do his own thing, both thwarting their plans and helping his comrades. Why not?
Thinking this, Cui Ming's calculating gaze gradually faded. He lightly tapped the monitor screen in front of him with his fingertip, and with a "click," the monitor screen instantly went black. He casually turned off the monitor, no longer paying attention to the foolish plans of the S Agency and Sextant—after all, everything was under his control, and there was no need to keep watching.
Just then, Ibuki Maya walked over gently with a glass of warm water. Seeing Choi Myung staring at the black screen of the monitor with a somewhat serious expression, she couldn't help but ask softly, "What's wrong? Did something happen? I noticed you were watching the monitor and you didn't look well."
Choi Myung turned his head and saw the concern in Maya's eyes. The seriousness on his face instantly disappeared, and he revealed a faint smile. He spoke in a relaxed tone, deliberately reassuring her, "It's nothing. I just looked at some unimportant things. Some people at NERV are going to do some dangerous plans, but don't worry, it's not a big problem. I can handle it."
He didn't go into detail about the plans of the S Agency and Sextant, not wanting Maya to worry about these things anymore. After all, she had already helped him a lot, and there was no need to involve her in these dangerous conflicts.
"Hmm," Ibuki Maya nodded gently, a relieved look on her face, and didn't ask any more questions.
She believed in Cui Ming's abilities and his words. Since Cui Ming said so, he must be able to handle everything. It was enough that he was willing to tell her this. Asking more questions would only cause trouble for Cui Ming.
She handed the warm water to Cui Ming and said softly, "No matter what it is, don't work too hard. If you really can't manage, I'm here for you."
Cui Ming took the water glass, his fingertips touching the warm rim, a warmth rising in his heart. He softly hummed in agreement, looking at Maya's gentle expression, his eyes filled with tenderness—with her by his side, even the most troublesome matters didn't seem so daunting. (End of Chapter)
