This idea, before Albert demonstrated his aura today, was almost believed by even Evelyn.
She too was thinking, could Albert really be stronger than the four of them combined? The probability was too low.
But now...
Liu Zhizai suddenly had fear in his eyes as he looked at Albert. Luo Feng was also somewhat shocked. Matthew Jones sighed, and William Gordon turned his head away.
"Alright, we get it."
The second director's back was soaked with sweat, and he even felt like his bones were about to fall apart.
But now, he couldn't care about his physical discomfort. He was in shock, he was watching the scene unfold, and he saw the expressions of submission on the faces of the Five Elders...
He had thought of many possibilities, thought that they were likely to balance each other out, but he never imagined this outcome.
It was unimaginable that Albert was pressing the Five Elders one-sidedly.
It turns out that Albert's tolerance towards the Five Elders was just for the sake of that legendary friendship with Mr. Jin.
"Wen Xishu's status was elevated to facilitate his tower climbing. I have said before, he and I are fellow travelers. You know very well, people like me have no interest in internal conflicts among similar beings."
"So he is the same. Do not provoke him, and he will not provoke you either. Also, do not covet what belongs to him."
"Goodbye, old friends. I hope that one day, we can sit by the bonfire as we did in the past, lowering our Slaughter Value, and chat about the characteristics of the monsters we defeated."
"I miss that time, but only to a limited extent. If you go too far, I don't mind ensuring you live in my memories forever."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Albert left amidst laughter.
In the silence that followed, Liu Zhizai was biting his teeth in humiliation. Several directors, understanding the situation, left quietly.
Luo Feng said:
"Perhaps... Mr. Jin really should come out."
Matthew Jones shook his head and said:
"He won't come out easily. Mr. Jin has his own matters to attend to."
Evelyn, at this moment, just smiled and said:
"It seems you haven't given up on causing trouble for that child?"
Liu Zhizai suddenly no longer appeared angry and said:
"Albert regards that child as a companion. Since he is a companion, we will test him for his own good."
Evelyn said:
"Fine. I'm also curious whether that child deserves to be considered a companion by him. Zhizai, I know what you've done in private. I hope the final result is satisfactory to you."

After the huge vortex subsided, everyone began to celebrate. The elevator had already transported the first wave of people to the second and first floors.
In front of the safety house, a huge banner was held by hundreds of people, celebrating the miracles brought by Wen Xishu.
Everyone who participated in the attack on the White Vortex received notifications to go to the sixth floor to receive their rewards.
Three Towers Academy will hold a party tomorrow. After the party, the whole school will have a three-day holiday. The party will honor Wen Xishu, and the old principal, Albert, will announce extremely significant news.
Part of this news has already leaked. Wen Xishu will transition from being a student to becoming part of the management of the academy.
But many people don't believe it, especially the freshmen in the academy.
Many have seen Wen Xishu. They still think that although Wen Xishu is impressive, since Senior Wenren and Senior Xun did not take any positions in the school, theoretically, Wen Xishu, still a freshman, couldn't achieve such remarkable honor.
Of course, some teachers are curious about what Wen Xishu would teach.
On the Bunker Security Bureau's side, Liu Jinsen also received the notification. He and Ah Miao learned that Wen Xishu would become their superior.
The Bunker Security Bureau will allocate a part specifically for tackling the Deceit Tower. Wen Xishu is a senior advisor, but compared to the temporary advisor during the Great Devour... this time, though still an advisor, his rank already surpasses that of the directors.
This rocket-like leap in status often occurs during wartime.
Liu Jinsen truly didn't expect...
In just two months, someone could achieve such an outrageous leap in status.
Now, the entire Bunker, from the first to the seventh floor, was in celebration. The air was filled with the aroma of wine and echoed with people's songs.
After all, although a few people sacrificed in this Great Devour, the majority who lived received gifts.
Their lifespans and resistance to disease were permanently enhanced.
All this gratitude goes to Wen Xishu.
At this moment, it had been three hours since the final orange vortex descended—
Wen Xishu's name resounded throughout the Bunker.
This Bunker was bustling because of Wen Xishu, but Wen Xishu was not amidst the bustle.
...
...
Fifth floor, outside the Wen Family's old mansion.
The seals could no longer stop Wen Xishu from entering. Moreover, shortly after the meeting ended, Albert had already arrived on the fifth floor as agreed.
However, Wen Xishu still did not immediately go inside. He silently bypassed all the commotion and came to this somewhat desolate place.
His figure appeared very lonely.
Clearly, the whole world was singing his name, but all this noise seemed unrelated to him.
Wen Xishu could hear the people's songs.
But the feeling was very strange.
He was always like this. Whenever life went too smoothly, he worried whether there was some hidden crisis?
