Genius Club-Chapter 1142 - 29: Road to Paradise (Thanks to the unparalleled boss of 37 for the Silver League reward!)_3

"Now, I’m sending you an address. Bring the Space-Time Particle and the small refrigerator here. Just you, with Fake Sike, both of you. Keep the trip confidential, don’t tell anyone else."

"Huh?"

On the sofa, the man looking like Jask perked up, pointing to his own nose:

"Me too? Why me? I’m not going anywhere!"

"You must see me as useless now, wanting to kill me to seal my lips! I won’t go! Besides, the original terms we agreed upon didn’t include this task!"

Click.

The female secretary pulled out a pistol from her coat pocket and aimed it at the man roaring beside the sofa:

"What? Going on a business trip impersonating Jask isn’t part of your job description? In a word, are you going or not?"

"Cough cough."

The man resembling Jask coughed lightly, slowly raising his hands:

"You...you’ve misunderstood. I mean, a business trip... the business trip is fine."

"But..."

He chuckled, licking his lips:

"There has to be a travel allowance!"

The encrypted communicator was hung up, and the screen displayed a location.

The female secretary read it aloud:

"Switzerland, Interlaken..."

...

Interlaken.

It is a city in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland, with the Latin original meaning "between two lakes."

Indeed, that is the case.

Geographically, Interlaken is situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, renowned for its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, and is renowned as "Paradise Town," one of Switzerland’s oldest resorts.

On the outskirts of the city, there are vast green meadows and numerous castle-like buildings scattered among the small hills.

Switzerland has a system of private land ownership, and the vast majority of the land outside Paradise Town is privately owned, available for the wealthy to establish holiday villas, ranches, manors, wine cellars, and... anything else you might want to build.

Within a complex fortress.

A man and a woman, one in front of the other, entered an underground secret base.

The woman held a square white refrigerator, and the man opened the brightly-lit doors inside the base for her, the shocking scene lighting up before their eyes.

Unlike the surface castles imprinted with the marks of eras, this underground base was filled with high-tech equipment.

Supercomputers, Hibernation Pods, robots, various incomprehensible large devices, everything imaginable... much of the familiar technology was far more advanced than the outside world, as if the underground passage at the banquet was a space-time tunnel, entering and exiting which transported them to a future space-time.

It was apparent, the owner of this place valued secrecy; the vast underground base had no living person, just various robots at work.

The female secretary, leading the man resembling Jask, couldn’t help but look around in awe as they walked forward.

Finally.

In the main hall of the base, an elderly man sitting in a rotating mechanical chair turned around.

His hair was almost gone, beardless, with grey eyebrows, his face creased with wrinkles:

"Children, bring the Space-Time Particle... to me."

The man looking like Jask, as if teasing a dog, blocked the path of an automatic robot, watching it unable to find a way and laughing delightedly.

Holding the refrigerator, she walked forward, entered the code, opened it, and placed it on the floor in front of the old man.

The elder slightly bowed his head to look at the Entangled State of Time-Space Particles rotating around each other inside, revealing a satisfied smile:

"What a grand gift, thanks to Rhein’s offering."

Suddenly.

Bang.

The door to the underground base was pushed open, and a tall young man walked in against the bright corridor lights, striding forward.

Copernicus appeared puzzled, but as he squinted at the approaching young man’s face, he became more perplexed:

"Lin... Xian?"

Click! Click!

As the unexpected guest arrived, the female secretary and the man resembling Jask hastily drew pistols from their waists, chambered them, and pointed at the young man who was steadily approaching.

The dark gun muzzles was aimed at both temples, preventing Lin Xian from advancing any further.

"Hehehe..."

Copernicus chuckled dryly, shaking his head:

"Let’s see who’s come? You’re quite something to have traced us here... Did you notice something off about Jask? Too bad, it’s already too late."

"Silly boy, don’t think I’m not vengeful? It’s just your level wasn’t worth my effort. I respect every scientist I killed, but clearly... you don’t deserve my respect."

"Just like how you rashly came here, brave but reckless. This place is filled with my people, what do you think you can do against me?"

"That’s right, Copernicus. Only... you’ve taken my lines."

Lin Xian extended his right hand, palm open

In Copernicus’s astonished gaze.

The man resembling Jask moved his gun away from Lin Xian’s temple and placed it flat on his open palm.

Lin Xian flicked his finger.

The black gun spun at his fingertips.

He smiled slightly, tilting his head as he looked at Copernicus:

"This place is filled with my people... What will you fight me with?"
