Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

That person, of course, refers to Lopez.

Chapter 409 The phone was hung up

After hanging up the phone, Chiya Kuchiki closed her eyes and waited quietly.

…………

Zelke drank two cups of coffee in his room.

This is his usual behavior.

In the eyes of this veteran tycoon, he had to make a certain gesture; he couldn't be too arrogant, nor could he be too low-key.

Otherwise, that arrogant brat will definitely take advantage of your kindness.

Zelke frowned deeply as he thought about all this.

“Dad, I think we still need to communicate with Atlantis about this matter,” the man beside him said.

He looked to be in his late twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and appearing refined and cultured.

“I’m leaving the matter of contacting Atlantis to you,” Zelke said. “And while you’re at it, invite a representative from Atlantis over.”

The man seemed somewhat reluctant to accept this task, but since Zelk had already issued the order, he had no choice but to comply.

"Mr. Zelke, are you really giving up on this cooperation?" After the man left, Zelke's secretary walked in, looking worried. "If we give up, then this place will fall into the hands of the enemy."

“Our main forces are all in the south right now, how could we possibly send troops to support this place?” Zelke said calmly. “Besides, Zelke’s military base is right here. Even if we give up, he won’t be able to get his hands on that piece of fat meat.”

“Yes, Mr. Zelke didn’t want to see this place fall into enemy hands, so he chose to give it up,” the secretary sighed.

Zelke waved his hand: "You don't need to comfort me. My goal is very clear, and no one can take it away from me!"

After saying that, he added, "Not even the Temple of Death!"

Zelke's tone was firm and resolute, revealing a strong killing intent.

…………

On the other side, Chiya Kuchiki was sitting in a chair, flipping through documents.

This is an email he just received tonight.

The email was filled with dense English text, almost completely incomprehensible to Chiya Kuchiki.

He raised an eyebrow: "This kind of garbage English is considered important? I really don't know what these Atlantis people are thinking."

He then pressed a button on the right side of the screen.

One minute later, a figure in camouflage appeared in the video.

"The secret military base that Zelk established here is about five kilometers from the capital city of the East. It is located in the middle of the East Mountain range. The surrounding environment is extremely harsh, but the scenery is beautiful. It is a good place to cultivate one's mind and body," said the man in camouflage.

"Heh, I'm going to pay that Zelk a visit. I want to see how bold he really is." Chiyo Kuchiki narrowed her eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

"Young Master, we are about 500 meters away from that secret base," the subordinate reminded him. "We are also 300 meters away from the 733 outpost on the opposite mountaintop."

“I understand,” Zelke said. “Continue to monitor. If anything happens to me, report to the president immediately.”

Although Zelke is already half-buried in the ground, his mind is still very clear, at least not as muddled as that of an ordinary rich man.

He cherished his life.

Therefore, he chose to abandon his cooperation with Atlantis at this critical juncture when he was about to die.

After all, if it comes to fighting against the Temple of Death, Zelk's chances of winning are extremely slim.

He wanted to live a few more years and hoped to hold his grandchildren.

Chapter 410 is exactly the same.

Zelke looked at his slightly graying temples in the mirror, his eyes narrowing slightly.

“I don’t have much interest in knowing what the future holds for this world,” Zelke muttered to himself. “This country has nothing to do with me, and it’s none of my business anyway.”

“I just want to protect my own interests. I just want to end this damn poverty and backwardness as soon as possible.” Zelke shook his head, seemingly having lost much of his enthusiasm for the country.

In this respect, she is exactly the same as Chiya Kuchiki.

Zelke did not choose to engage in in-depth cooperation with Atlantis.

Because this guy had no idea just how terrifying Atlantis's resources were!

Chiya Kuchiki shook her head: "Is Atlantis, such an ancient and powerful force, really something we can shake?"

He didn't believe in superstitions. However, he also believed that Zelke wouldn't be foolish enough to think that Atlantis was a pushover.

“Young Master, I think Zelk has probably already guessed that you are an Atlantean…” At this moment, the secretary suddenly said, “I think he will no longer agree to cooperate with you, because… he knows you are not on the same path.”

"Oh?" Upon hearing the secretary's words, Chiyo Kuchiki raised her lips, her smile laced with sarcasm: "That's an interesting statement. If we're not on the same path, are we friends on the path of enemies?"

"Perhaps so. After all, the people of Atlantis have offended him terribly over the years." The secretary said with a wry smile, "This guy has secretly tried to take action against Atlantis several times, but unfortunately, he has never succeeded."

“Zelk, you’ve really had some bad luck.” Chiyo Kuchiki’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile as she said, “I remember you were on the run from Atlantis for a full ten years. Is that true?”

The secretary's expression turned serious: "This matter is confidential."

"Why are you so serious? You were Zelke's most trusted person, so it's understandable that you know," Chiyo Kuchiki said. "Do you know what Zelke left behind when he ran away?"

The secretary shook his head.

Zelke was a very vigilant, even cautious man, who never left anything behind.

“I guess…” Chiyo Kuchiki smiled slightly: “…He must have lost the head of that Edmundson Zelk.”

Upon hearing this, the secretary felt a sudden chill run through her body!

This was the answer he was most worried about!

That's right, Edmundson Zelke's head was taken by his own hands!

That day, Zelke, along with his wife and daughters, fled to the East by ship. They passed by this island, but did not stop there.

Zelk's son, Zelnikov, drowned in the sea, while Zelk's woman perished in the belly of a shark. Only Zelk himself survived.

He hid in the deepest part of this small island, barely surviving until now.

Seeing this, Chiya Kuchiki revealed a playful expression: "I think Zelk's mind has actually become extremely twisted, don't you think? He can no longer control the dark desires deep within his heart and wants to use this secret base to completely destroy Atlantis, right?"

Chapter 411 tells you the answer

"Young Master, I hope this deduction is not true," the secretary said with difficulty.

“I think I can tell you the answer.” Chiyo Kuchiki smiled contemptuously: “Zelk has been completely consumed by hatred.”

“Young Master, please do not investigate any further. If we are exposed, we may not be able to leave,” the secretary said. “Besides, you are the leader of this country. Do not ruin the entire country because of personal grudges.”

"I know, but do you know why I chose this place as my base?"

"I don't know, I can't figure it out either. 733," the secretary shook her head.

“Because…” He hesitated for a moment, “Because the defenses here are relatively weak, so if the enemy launches a surprise attack, we won’t be caught off guard.”

“That’s right, but if we can’t get rid of this threat quickly, we could face annihilation. Zelke is a madman who doesn’t care about the cost; he’ll do anything for it, and we can’t afford that.”

Since Zelke dared to break ties with Atlantis, he must have been prepared for a lose-lose situation, even mutual destruction.

"That……"

The secretary frowned.

Their master is not just Chiya Kuchiki.

"Let's send someone to sound out Zelke's intentions and see if he's willing to cooperate with us," Chiyo Kuchiki said calmly. "However, I don't think that's going to happen. Right now, he probably wants me dead. Even if I stood in front of him, he probably wouldn't bother to greet me."

The secretary paused for a moment before saying, "Young Master, do we really want to take such a risk?"

“It’s an adventure, but I have no choice. I need to find a safe place to stay,” Chiyo Kuchiki said. “However, this secret base is indeed an excellent place. If we have enough resources, we can train even better warriors.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the distant sky: "The biggest drawback of this place is that the terrain is not flat enough. I think Zelk must have considered this problem as well, otherwise he wouldn't have set up the headquarters here."

Zelk was a shrewd businessman. Although he liked money, he was not a reckless fool. He had long anticipated that once he left the secret base, things would become very difficult.

That's why he chose to build a cellar in the secret base to store some supplies.

“Young Master, then… what should we do if you encounter danger?” the secretary asked.

This is a very tricky problem, after all, they don't have many weapons.

Chiya Kuchiki is a master of ninjutsu, but he is not good with firearms, so the secretary is always worried that she will not be able to protect Zelk.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Chiyo Kuchiki waved her hand and then said, "Go find an SUV now and take me for a drive around the city. I'm so bored on this deserted island these past few days."

The secretary's expression showed a hint of hesitation: "Young Master, I feel that doing this is somewhat inappropriate."

"What's wrong?"

“We’re too close to the city right now. What if Zelk has laid an ambush nearby? We’d be in grave danger,” the secretary said.

Chapter 412 Secretary's Reminder

"Even if Zelk sets up traps all over this place, it doesn't matter."

“Young Master, you only brought two bodyguards with you to this isolated island, while Zelk has three hundred men, all of whom are elites among elites,” the secretary reminded him.

"Do you have any other suggestions?" Chiyo Kuchiki narrowed her eyes, her gaze instantly sharpening.

He seemed to have been calm for a long time, but the secretary had clearly forgotten that this young master had been ruthless since childhood and had no need to care about any code of honor.
