Opening an office in Taila

Chapter 272 The Future of Deep Pool

“Interesting. Did you start thinking about this a long time ago?” Abrahana said.

“Indeed, I’ve been thinking about this since the very beginning, when I first came into contact with you as a detective. Your actions are so significant, yet the only major action taken by the local authorities was when Colonel Hamilton came and made some moves. This makes me very curious about what allows your organization to act so freely without being taken seriously,” Song Yufeng said.

“Actually, this is indeed a secret known only to the higher-ups, but since you’re going to join the Deeppool’s upper echelons anyway, telling you won’t hurt—” Abrahana glanced at Margaret.

Just as Song Yufeng was about to say something, Abrahana said seriously, "Mr. Song, this is not a child's play, and I also hope that you can keep it strictly confidential."

Song Yufeng could only shake his head at Margaret. Anyway, he could just tell Margaret about it privately afterward. Keeping it a secret? Keeping it a secret was impossible.

Margaret glanced at Song Yufeng, then at Abrahana, and could only nod before walking out.

“Duke.” After Margaret left, Abrahana only said two words.

A duke?!

Song Yufeng immediately perked up. He knew that one of the highest levels of power in Victoria was the Duke. In fact, after the death of the monarch, the eight Dukes of Victoria were the highest power in the country.

The Duke of Windermere, whom I met at the office, was one of the most powerful of the eight dukes.

And now, a duke is actually providing support to Deeppool?

Who is it?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Song, that's all I can say. After all, this is what the Duke requested," Abrahana said with difficulty.

Song Yufeng nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. So what should I do next? Although I have become a senior cadre of your organization, I really don't know anything about the organization's structure or mission."

“It’s very simple, Mr. Song. Just delegate all those tasks to others. You’re a senior executive! What we need now is a visionary strategist, someone who can help Deeppool reach a brighter future. Mr. Song, you are that kind of person,” Abrahana said.

"So, you want me to plan for Deeppool's future?"

"You could say that. Although I already have a general direction, I still hope you can help me refine it."

Abrahina doesn't look like the butcher who will command the deep pool to slaughter everyone in the future at all.

Song Yufeng rubbed his forehead and said, "You trust me that much?"

"Of course, Mr. Song, you single-handedly slaughtered an army of ten thousand, led a million men into Ursus, and successfully accomplished the feat of killing a god. If I don't believe a strategist like you, then I really can't think of anyone else to believe."

"Alright, then I'll only offer one suggestion for now: don't kill people indiscriminately," Song Yufeng said.

“Ha, Raphsini, remember? This is the place I was most worried about. Song Yufeng, you don’t understand Tara. The people of Tara need to vent their anger and express their emotions. This is not something I can control. And when I kill, it’s just going with the flow.” Abrahana stood up and said, “I’m not like you, Song Yufeng. I’m not a saint. I won’t save the infected like you. What I want to do is make the people of Tara rebel against Victoria.”

Even if it means killing tens of thousands of civilians?

“Their deaths were worthwhile, at least for the Tara people,” Abrahana laughed.

As expected, Song Yufeng was overthinking it; Abrahina was still that bloodthirsty executioner.

“I don’t recommend you do that.” Song Yufeng’s eyes gradually turned dangerous. He continued, “You just said that if you want me to improve the future of Deeppool, Deeppool must stop killing innocent civilians, otherwise Deeppool won’t go far.”

What does "not going far" mean?

"Tonight, Deep Pool will disappear into my hands."

Abrahana paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. Finally, she said, "Just as I thought, just as I thought. Hmm, very good, very good. Since you're willing to take on this responsibility, then do your best."

Song Yufeng was also taken aback. He had thought Abrahana would be angry, but he hadn't expected her to react this way.

Then Song Yufeng realized that this would allow her to extricate herself from the situation. If Deep Pool stopped killing civilians and ultimately failed, she could simply say that Song Yufeng had forced her to change her strategy, and the Tara people's anger would shift to Song Yufeng instead of Abrahana, effectively providing Abrahana with a way out.

Moreover, the chances of success in the end are still quite high.

Tsk, he got carried away by his emotions and let Abrahana set him up.

Abrahana, you win.

If it weren't for the fact that advancing into Lontinem would be much easier with the help of the deep pool, Song Yufeng would have already leveled the deep pool.

"So, Mr. Song, I think we've reached a very satisfactory agreement?"

"That's settled, but I still hope you can issue a formal statement indicating that I am now a senior officer and that I will obey your orders."

"sure."

Song Yufeng stood up. At least from now on, Shenchi should no longer massacre civilians.

"Let's go, Lavshini. Oh, and don't forget to spend more time with Mr. Song..."
