My substitute female CEO

"You should have heard the word transaction from their mouths."

Watt asked.

Ben nodded and said, "I have indeed heard of it, but what on earth is this so-called transaction about?"

Watt continued to explain, "In fact, the most fundamental purpose of the Illuminati is to awaken the sleeping gods."

"Awaken? God?"

"Yes, I know you are a little surprised, but this is the fact. You have seen the power of the God of Balance before, right."

"Well, they are a strange existence, but are they really gods?"

Because I heard stories from my father before and my mother also believed in gods, in his eyes, gods should be gentle, powerful, and kind-hearted beings who save people from fire and water, but this God of Balance is indeed It breaks some of my own filters about God.

"Of course, and, as of now, he is not the only one who has awakened."

"Then..." Ben thought for a moment and asked, "What is the purpose of those people awakening the gods?"

Wa smiled happily, and Ben quickly got to the point.

"In a few years, in the near future, they will rule the entire world!"

"What?!" Ben was obviously frightened by what Wa said.

"How...how..." Ben was about to question, but suddenly thought that if those gods were similar in strength to the God of Balance, or even stronger than him, it would not be impossible, given the current level of human technology. It seems that it is easy for the gods to destroy it.

"But...how can they wake up the gods? How can the Illuminati rule the world after they wake up?"

"This is what I want to tell you. Of course, it is what happened to your sister. I will tell you from my personal experience."

As he spoke, Wa fell into memories.

"Forty years ago, that year, our entire village was isolated from the rest of the world. We still followed the living habits left by our ancestors and... ancient beliefs. My mother was the archmage and village chief of the entire village at that time. However, until there was One day, a mysterious businessman suddenly came to our village. People in the village loved him very much because he brought many new and novel things that we had never seen before. For a while, everyone bought a lot from him. stuff, and his price was extremely cheap, until one day.”

"Da... don't believe him! He is a devil! A devil!" Wa's mother wailed in pain, and then passed away in full view of the public.

From the outside, she had no wounds, but for some reason, a perfectly good person died suddenly.

He didn't know what his mother had gone through. His only impression was that he suddenly had a high fever, and his mother seemed to have gone to the businessman to buy medicine. After that, his mother died mysteriously.

But everyone didn't believe her words and kept buying things brought by the merchants.

Wa was unwilling to give in. He decided to investigate clearly. No matter what, he could not let his mother die in such an unknown way.

That year, the seeds of revenge sprouted in my heart.

Just like this, a few days later, several more people died in the village.

But even so, the villagers seemed to have no intention of stopping.

One day, the businessman came again.

Wa made complete preparations and quietly followed the businessman after he left.

After a long time, it was already dark.

The businessman entered a wooden house in the deep forest.

Wa lay on the edge of the bed and observed inside.

There were actually two people tied up in the room.

The businessman then asked after removing their blindfolds.

"How about it, have you considered it? This is a good deal."

One of the men lowered his head in fear.

"Please...please! We really have no money! Please give it back to us!"

The businessman shook his head.

"No, no, no, that's not okay. Once the transaction starts, it cannot be stopped. Do you...understand?"

"You! You profiteer!" the man yelled, "You will not die!"

"Really? That's a pity...I can't die for the time being, but you can."

Then, the man fell to the ground without breathing.

Another person was so frightened that he cried and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"I...I will do anything. Please let me go."

"Oh? Really?" The businessman smiled, "Then... give me more money."

"This this……"

"No, then I'm sorry..."

……

Wa was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath, but suddenly, a figure appeared behind him.

The door of the cabin was opened.

A strong man came from outside the door. He dragged the tile and threw him into the house.

"Idiot, you are being followed." The strong man said.

"I did that on purpose. I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be him."

"you recognize?"

"That woman's child."

"Then...kill him?"

"No, no, no, don't be so rude, we are businessmen."

……

Wa woke up and found that he was also tied to the chair.

"You! Who are you?"

The businessman saw Wa woke up and ran over quickly.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! How do you feel now for being our lucky customer?"

"Lucky? What do you mean? If it weren't for you, how would my mother be?"

"Oh, no no no." The businessman shook his head repeatedly. "You really misunderstood me. We don't have any bad intentions. We just want to make a deal with you."

"Deal? I don't have any money!"

"Oh, no need, no need, your mother has already given you the money for that level."

Then he took out a potion.

"Maybe you don't recognize the words on it, so let me tell you. To put it simply, this virus can make people have a high fever, and eventually, even the brain will be burned. Hahaha, isn't it interesting?"

"Wait, you mean...my high fever is actually caused by this?"

"Oh yes sir, you are so smart. Let me show you something else."

Then, a golden light suddenly appeared in the businessman's hand.

"This thing was given to me by God. It can offset all diseases. Isn't it amazing?"

"God? All diseases? Don't be ridiculous! There can be no such thing in the world!"

"No, sir, if you didn't see it, that doesn't mean it didn't happen. Do you understand? Your mother is really a great mother. In order to save you, she directly... gave up all her 'spiritual power' at once... It was so touching to come out.”

"Spiritual power?" Wa knew very well what it was. Her mother had told herself that a complete person is composed of three parts: body, soul, and spirit. In layman's terms, spiritual power is a person's consciousness and will. , it is also a part of the soul, but it is a part that must not be missing.

Losing mental power will cause that person to become confused. This is just a story he heard from his mother. Who would have thought that this guy would actually use that thing as a trading commodity?
