Chapter 1,328: Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
After finishing speaking, Sona cast a charming look at Lin Chen, and then continued to lead the way without any more nonsense.
Lin Chen followed her and got into the elevator that led directly to the top floor.
A few minutes later.
When Lin Chen stepped out of the elevator, a huge room with a black tone came into his eyes instantly.
This black room was only two or three meters away from him. It seemed that this was the only room on the entire floor.
Lin Chen curiously looked at the black carvings in this room, which were simple and restrained, but gave people an extremely depressing feeling, forming a sharp contrast with the splendor seen in the lobby.
Sona stood at the door of the room with a solemn expression, and pressed her palm on the sensor device at the door.
There was a strange sound, and the door creaked and retreated to both sides at the same time.
There was so much light in the room that Lin Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes to adapt to the sudden strong light.
After a moment of adaptation, when he suddenly opened his eyes wide, Sona was still standing at the door and made a "please come in" gesture to him.
Lin Chen took a deep breath and walked in with his head held high. He knew... that for a long time to come, he would be competing with everyone in this room... in a battle of wits and courage!
The setting in the room is extremely simple.
The overall layout was almost the same as the meeting hall that Lin Chen saw in Hongmen in Canada.
But everything in this room is full of modern atmosphere. A huge round conference table that can accommodate fifty people is placed in the middle of the room.
Dozens of comfortable leather chairs were placed on both sides of the giant conference table. Apart from that, only the cold granite floor and the huge ceiling lamp that illuminated the entire conference room were left.
There were already about ten people sitting at the giant conference table. When Lin Chen first stepped into the room, their eyes invariably focused on him.
Lin Chen glanced around and found seven white-haired old men sitting at the upper eight seats of the conference table.
In addition, there were eight or nine men with different expressions sitting on both sides of the conference round table.
Li Xingyi and Dandi were among them.
At this time, Sona smiled slightly at Lin Chen and said:
"Those seven old people are the seven elders of the Presbyterian Church! The other few have the same status as us and are candidates for the next president. Well, I have successfully completed the task and I have to take my seat. .
Your place is here..."
Sona led Lin Chen to the seat closest to the door of the round table. Lin Chen smiled calmly and sat down without talking nonsense.
Later, Sona also sat on both sides of the round table, and everyone was observing the latest young candidate to join the Tongqihui.
Lin Chen is the youngest among all the people. The seven elders are quite old. Among the other candidates, Sona is the youngest. However, this well-maintained blonde beauty is also over thirty years old.
After sitting down, the old man in the middle among the seven elders took the lead and said:
"Oh, you are Lin Chen, right? I am the second elder of the Presbyterian Church. On behalf of Tongqihui, I welcome you to join the big family of Tongqihui! Here, you can get everything you want. Here, you can feel Feel the warmth of family here..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen snorted softly, interrupting the second elder's words.
"Isn't this welcome speech too official? Why don't we do something practical?"
"Bold! Do you know who you are talking to?"
A middle-aged man with a beard suddenly stood up and pointed at Lin Chen angrily. But Lin Chen didn't care. After taking a look at this person, he said calmly:
"I don't seem to be talking to you?"
The middle-aged man was so angry that he pushed away the chair to trouble Lin Chen, but the second elder gave him a cold shout and silenced him!
"Sit down! No rules!"
The middle-aged man had an angry look on his face, but he still sat down reluctantly. He was a little confused about the second elder's attitude.
Although this brat joined the Tongqihui, he was at the bottom among the ten candidates in terms of qualifications and strength!
Why did the second elder hurt his own face in front of everyone and protect Lin Chen?
Could it be...
The middle-aged man named Gray has a hot temper, and his backer is the Fourth Elder. The strange attitude of the second elder made him understand instantly: So the second elder wanted to take the lead in wooing Lin Chen by relying on his higher status?
The fourth elder's face darkened and he wanted to say something, but finally held back...
as expected.
The second elder smiled slightly, and then said to Lin Chen calmly:
"Lin Chen, after joining the Tongqi Hui, we are our companions. When you were the head of the God-Slaying Mercenary Group, didn't you value your companions the most?
At this point, you should continue to carry forward this spirit. "
Lin Chen was determined to test these old foxes with deep knowledge of the city, so he smiled and said casually:
"Second Elder, right? To be honest, I just joined the Tongqi Association and I don't have a strong sense of belonging. That's reasonable.
But...why do those men in black dare to bully me even though I'm a candidate? I just got here and someone is trying to suppress me?
Under such circumstances, the companionship you mentioned may not exist in me. "
When the second elder heard this, his expression darkened and he was silent for a moment.
With his sophistication, there was no way he could detect the hidden meaning in Lin Chen's words. In an instant, he made a plan.
He raised his head, looked around, and then shouted coldly:
"Who is it! Who is deliberately making things difficult for the newcomer? And, it's a candidate?"
The second elder was determined to help Lin Chen, which surprised him.
So, Lin Chen kept silent and looked at everyone in the room quietly with a good attitude...
The others frowned slightly and were also stunned by the second elder's attitude.
It seems that this influential figure, who is second only to the first elder, wants to openly show his goodwill to Lin Chen so that Lin Chen can join his team!
At this time, the second elder saw that no one spoke, and was about to speak, but Lin Chen sneered and said sternly:
"Second elder, there is an idiom in China called killing the chicken to scare the monkey! You should understand it, right?"
The second elder was slightly startled, and then immediately smiled and said: "Of course I understand."
The second elder immediately pressed a button on the round table and said to it: "Immediately detain the black-clothed man who greeted Lin Chen today! He cannot be released from the confinement room within a week!"
At the order, everyone in the room was terrified!
In addition, the other elders did not speak, obviously tacitly approving the behavior of the second elder!
This phenomenon made the other nine candidates also have their own thoughts, and their faces were uncertain...
