Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

“So you have such ambitions,” Night Song said. “I thought you were loyal to the gods.”

The middle-aged man said expressionlessly, "We are all invaders from another world. How could we possibly be loyal to a group of gods we've never even seen before in this game world?"

"Heh..." Ye Ge chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, Muraki has now made a pact with the ancient hydra Xiangliu's undead spirit. The ancient power he can unleash now should far surpass that of Lin Ye and the others, right?"

“…Hmm.” The middle-aged man was silent for a while before saying, “After all, that is an eleventh-level ghost god. If he can form a contract with a ghost god, with his current physical strength, he should be able to unleash about 50% of the power of the Hydra… However, having the spirit of an ancient ferocious beast possess his body is a way for Muraki to burn his lifespan. He cannot truly control Xiangliu. Every time he uses it, his cells will deteriorate more rapidly.”

Then, the middle-aged man led Ye Ge to a room.

There were about three hundred people waiting in the room.

There were four people standing at the front, two men and two women.

"These people are all employees of the company. They come from various races among the myriad races, and for the time being, they are all your subordinates."

The middle-aged man said, "Let me introduce these four leaders to you: Zhu Yu, Su You, Wu Yikun, and Zhi Ling. For the time being, you will be in charge of them for the upcoming missions."

“You already know Zhu Yu, she is a [Vermilion Bird] gene enhancer; Su You, he is a [Qiongqi] gene enhancer; Wu Yikun and Zhi Ling, they are [Jue Ru] and [Ear Mouse] gene enhancers respectively. They are all Descendants, just like us.”

Ye Ge gave Su You a deep look.

This guy is the one with the enhanced Qiongqi gene...

That night, this was the guy who ambushed Yao Yao...

Su You was clearly the most rebellious of the group. When he saw Ye Ge, he didn't give him a friendly look, his attitude was somewhat contemptuous, and he crossed his arms with a cold expression.

"Among them, Su You is the strongest," the middle-aged man said. "In the previous world player ranking competition, he was fourth."

Night Song was surprised.

Su You...

It was him?

Ye Ge certainly remembered him.

Back in my previous life, during world ranking tournaments, this guy was the one who talked the loudest before the match, and then got the worst beating during it...

He was so badly beaten by Night Song that he almost failed to advance to the knockout stage...

No wonder he looked so resentful.

"They're all players, so they should also be shareholders of the company, right?" Ye Ge asked curiously, "You're making them my subordinates?"

"No, they are not." The middle-aged man said calmly, "There are quite a few players in the company, but not many real shareholders. Su You and Zhu Yu are senior employees of the company, but they are not shareholders."

"Oh." Ye Ge glanced at Su You a couple more times.

Su You met his gaze coldly, her face grim.

He was clearly very dissatisfied. As a high-ranking executive in the company, a Qiongqi gene enhancer, and the fourth-ranked player in the world player rankings in his previous life, how could he now only be an employee of someone else?

What's the point?

Moreover, despite being with the gene company for so long, he has never been able to acquire any shares in the company.

And this Star Dragon has only just joined, yet it has already acquired a 2% stake.

On what grounds?

"So," Ye Ge looked at the middle-aged man again, "what do you mean by 'the next mission'? Do I have another mission coming up?"

"Of course, now that you've joined the company, you should help it achieve its grand vision." The middle-aged man paused, "But at the same time, you can also share in the benefits brought by the company's grand vision."

“Okay.” Night Song shrugged. “So what do you need me to do?”

"You have two things to do now," the middle-aged man said. "The first thing is to secretly take control of the Western Dragon Kingdom."

Ye Ge was slightly taken aback.

"Before Helian died, his Purple Dragon family had a very strong influence in the Western Dragon Kingdom."

The middle-aged man said with some regret, "Herion was originally my right-hand man. His influence permeated all levels of the Western Dragon Kingdom, from nobles and princes to commoners and people from all walks of life. He had informants among the upper, middle, and lower dragon people. It can be said that he could get information about anything the Black Dragon King Gul'thas wanted to do."

"..."

Ye Ge thought to herself, "It's a pity you don't know that your trusted and valued assistant, while 'doing his best' for you, is also secretly plotting to usurp your position as chairman..."

“Now that Horion is dead and Verona is dead, you have essentially taken control of all the power of the Purple Dragon Clan,” the middle-aged man said. “Although you are a half-dragon, you still genuinely possess the blood of the Western Dragons and retain the right to inherit the throne. I want you to seize the position of Dragon King of the Western Dragon Kingdom and replace the Black Dragon King, Gul'thas.”

Night Song: "...Good heavens."

"Is there a problem?" the middle-aged man said. "In the company's board of directors, Ye Bing, the Queen of the Fallen Angel Clan, Shu Kui, the President of the Rat Spirit Clan, Leona, the Holy Elf King, Liana, the Queen of the Dark Elf Clan, and the Insect Emperor Huanmeng Caidie, they all control their entire race with the company's secret help."

Ye Ge raised an eyelid. So that's how it is...

"Among the top-ranked races, the fifth-ranked Fallen Angels, the sixth-ranked Evil Netherworld Race, the seventh-ranked Insect Race, the ninth-ranked Demi-human Race, and the eleventh-ranked Holy Elf Race are now all controlled by the company's shareholders."

The middle-aged man said, "Right now, what I most want to take down are the demons, devils, the Eastern dragons, the Western dragons, and the giants—these are the most powerful races."

"As long as our company's shareholders also occupy the positions of power in these major races, the company can basically be said to control 90% of the resources and power of the entire myriad races map!"

"My original plan was to support Harion and have him replace Gul'thas, the Black Dragon King. It's just a pity that he's dead now."

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Ge: "So my current plan is to support you and make you the king of the Western Dragon Clan."
