Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Hey, let me tell you... there are goblins in the dungeon, right? Those monsters also like to torture and kill weak adventurers. How about we team up and defeat them?"

"That makes sense. Why don't we change our target? Even though they're a different race from the Kartikas, and their identities are also different... but anyway, let's go with them!"

"Golden Sand was curious if the child was inside. He continued to go deeper and saw something familiar."

""This is……""

He picked up the golden stone on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrinking. "Topaz? Why is it here..."

"As he thought about it, he felt even more dizzy. He had no choice but to hold on to the photo board beside him to support himself."

"What? Is her foundation so heartbreaking?" A shadow approached from behind.

“…I’m just curious why it’s here.”

"Perhaps that Winged Man put it there deliberately to taunt you. To make you realize that your elaborate magic show was just a last-ditch effort," Shadow said calmly. "The color of the cornerstone is exactly the same as the glow of the Creeper Body... How could you come up with such a ridiculous excuse? If he had been more careful, your lies would have been exposed."

Chapter 406 Pinocchio (Eighty-six)

“It’s just bait.”

"Of course! That's why you included Latio's betrayal as a key part of your plan. I have to say, that professor's acting was very convincing."

"Shajin sneered: "Maybe he's not acting at all?"

"Ha, doesn't that play right into your hands? That meticulous Oak family head has an almost obsessive need for control. You have to give him enough information without letting him notice any flaws..."

"…So you had Latio find him and deliberately leaked the plan. To avoid suspicion, you told Latio everything that was true, and he relayed it to Sunday."

“Finally, the family owner used the bait you set (topaz) to find the other cornerstone as he wished. This is how you were able to conceal the third stone (aventurine) from the public.”

Saint Seiya.

"The third stone... the third stone... Ha... Hahaha! I understand... I understand!"

Inside the Pope's Palace, Tonghu's deep laughter forced its way out of his throat, gradually turning into an uncontrollable roar of laughter. An indescribable sense of excitement made him feel like an electric current was flowing through his body, and even his voice began to tremble slightly.

"I see! That's what he meant when he said... 'Three chips are enough'! Three chips correspond to three cornerstones... Damn it! This guy is a one-in-a-million lunatic! He actually dared to gamble with three cornerstones!"

Gambling with something more precious than one's own life, if one were to ask the Gold Saints present what was more precious than their lives, it would undoubtedly be the goddess Athena, the leader of the holy war at this moment - but the thought of having a gamble with Hades, the god of the underworld, with Athena as the stakes... even just the thought of it made Dohko tremble all over.

What's more, the other party pressed down three [Foundation Stones] in one breath - that was not just his own life.

"What if he loses the bet? Hasn't this madman ever thought about this?" Hasgard folded his arms across his chest, his brow furrowed, his voice low and thunderous. "If Sunday discovers the whereabouts of his third cornerstone, everything will be destroyed... The cost is too high."

"But the problem is..." Aries Shion glanced around at the Saints present, "Even if we know he has hidden the third cornerstone - everyone, do you know where his third stone is hidden?"

The crowd who were talking a moment ago suddenly quieted down, and the hall was silent for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the silence was finally broken with a slight sneer from Manigault.

"If we knew what Gold Dust was thinking, would that mean we were all crazy too? How could we think the same way as a lunatic like that?"

Hasgard rubbed his chin. "Could it be that the professor was relocated early? Is he hiding in the movie park right now? Otherwise, why would Gold Dust risk going there?"

"Impossible." Asmita flicked the rosary in his hand and shook his head gently. "If that were the case, how could Sunday be completely unaware of anything? Don't forget, he knew everything about the argument between him and the professor in the Daydream Hotel. Every word they exchanged since they entered the hotel was heard by Sunday."

"But that's the problem." Shion nodded slightly. "If even we who know the existence of the 'third cornerstone' can't guess the location of the aventurine, how will Sunday know?"

-

“…Stop messing around in my head, asshole.”

Shadow couldn't help but laugh. "Your brain? Our brain? You are me, and I am you, one and the same." He slowly walked to the side, and at his feet appeared another green cornerstone.

"The best way to hide your true identity from others is to deceive yourself first... I'll tell you, you can't deceive yourself at all. You're lucky to have succeeded this time." He turned to look at the gold dust. "This is another cornerstone in Sunday's hand. It's a very beautiful green, just like you, smooth and cunning... Tell me, what is its name?"

“Why ask me specifically?”

"Hmph... Then I'll let you recall it myself. [Gold Dust] is the stone of luck and trickery... That's what she said when you got it, right? This stone isn't prized, but its color is very similar to certain gemstones, so it's often used as a substitute. And those more expensive gemstones..."

"Gold Placer," he said, word by word, "...it's called 'Emerald.'" He slowly closed his eyes. "Even that Sunday man couldn't tell the difference. It seems emerald is a viable alternative to gold placer."

Shadow sighed with emotion, "Gold Dust, Topaz, and Emerald… three elites, three cornerstones, willing to risk everything for little Pinocchio. You're more united than a family."

Kakegurui.

"No, shouldn't a company be a place of intrigue, blaming each other, and internal fighting? Why, why are they..."

In the classroom of the private Hyakkao Academy, Saotome Meiari stared blankly at the "gold sand" in the sky. The drastic contrast of the company made her unable to accept it for a while.

Her family also owned a company, a leading toy company in Japan. Internal friction often became more severe as a company grew larger, and the root of this problem often lay in the distribution of interests and power. But why... were two executives willing to risk their lives and careers on a gamble with another colleague?

…couldn’t understand, she couldn’t understand at all.

Is this the same company that Scott works for, Interstellar Peace? Doesn't it have a different corporate culture?

No, this was completely beyond the purview of corporate culture. Even the most demanding corporate culture wouldn't brainwash two top leaders into risking their own futures and lives to serve as... "chips" for another leader.

They are just like one person, except that some are responsible for walking with legs, and some are responsible for walking with hands... They are integrated into one, moving towards one goal.

Thinking of this, Saotome Meiari swallowed unconsciously.

“Haaaa…haaaa…”

Suddenly, there was a rapid gasp beside me.

Saotome Meiari turned her head and saw Jabami Yumeko's cheeks flushed, her slender fingers tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, her legs unconsciously rubbing against each other. Her rosy eyes sparkled, and she looked like a completely lusty pervert.

As long as this girl doesn't talk about topics related to "gambling", she is a dignified and beautiful girl, but once the topic of gambling comes up, Mengzi's appearance completely changes.

I'm afraid that in the galaxy, only gold dust can satisfy this guy's gambling nature?

Chapter 407 Pinocchio (Eighty-Seven)

"That's great..." Mengzi's voice trembled with sweetness. "He's betting something more important than his life... and it's three [Keystones]. That's great, he's great... I really want to bet with him, and I want to bet now..."

"It doesn't matter what, whether I win or lose, even if I fall into hell in the next second, it's not bad to be able to gamble with such an opponent..."

Saotome Meiari's eyes twitched as she watched, "Hey, Yumeko, class is about to start, could you please put it back on?"

"Ah...!" Yumeko let out a short cry of surprise, quickly lowering her head in shame. "Sorry, I've never met an opponent as perfect as Mr. Sagine, and I'm a little obsessed. Ah, I really want to invite him to the academy as a guest..."

-

"I told you before, three chips are enough—all or nothing. The former or the latter? Ha, we'll find out soon enough."

Shadow spread his hands. "So, where's the real aventurine? Take it out and let's see it."

Gold Dust sneered, "Oh, you don't know where it is again?"

"I just want you to say it yourself... After all, its current appearance is truly worthy of its master."

"…Then I'll grant your wish. 'They' have always been in the most suitable place, never leaving..." Gold Dust glanced down at the gift bag in his hand. "They're in this pile of cheap jewelry."

"You smashed the Aventurine before you left..." Shadow sighed softly. "...Look at it, wow, it looks so much like your shattered life. No matter how shiny and bright it appears, it's still a humble pebble inside... This thing is far more valuable than your life."

"You know the consequences of doing this very well. Do you think the company will let you go if you desecrate the Holy Body of Creeper?"

DC Universe.

"Huh?? He smashed the cornerstone?! Oh my God! This guy is crazy, completely crazy! Hahahaha!"

Inside Arkham Asylum, the rusty iron fences began to shake wildly, and the entire corridor was filled with various shouts one after another. In this ghost place where the sour smell of vomit and mold were mixed together, Sha Jin's behavior undoubtedly injected a strong stimulant into the patients here, making the already noisy asylum even more boiling.

"Damn it! I think I kind of like this guy. He seems more suited to this place than me! Smashing the cornerstone? That's damn cool! That Sunday should have a little bit of a [Protection] shock!"

"I declare that Gold Sand is my best student. I will recommend him for admission to the Genius Club!"

"Haha, who the hell are you? Are you worthy enough? This kid dared to smash the cornerstone, which means he doesn't even take the envoy seriously! Isn't it a waste of talent for such a promising kid to stay in the Genius Club?"

"… Makes sense! This kid even dared to destroy the cornerstone, what else is he afraid to do? If this kid can lead me out of this damn place, let alone the gambling game, I'll accompany him even if he wants to destroy the world!"

"..."

Harley Quinn Harley grabbed the railing and stared at the sky intently. She was more looking forward to the sequel than the act of gold dust smashing the cornerstone.

The cornerstone is gone, what's next? Those seemingly righteous people in the company must be in a state of panic! But that's also where the fun begins! When the so-called "holy stone" is shattered, their true colors are revealed! Fear, terror, excitement... a hodgepodge of emotions!

It's like a can of poison gas was thrown at the top of the company. The colorful reaction is more exciting than the neon lights of Gotham!

Dragon clan.

“What the hell! What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!——!!”

"This kid is really brave! Isn't he afraid that the company will settle the score later and abandon him after he's done his job?"

Lu Mingfei, who had just been trying to turn over on the sofa, was so startled that he almost fell off the sofa. Fortunately, the sofa in the couple's hotel was wide enough for two people to roll around.

He stretched out his hand, trying to wake up Eri who was sleeping in, so that they could share the exciting scene from the gold dust in the sky, but when he stretched out his hand, the touch felt a little wrong.

He clearly remembered that Eri's cascading hair was just within his reach, but at this moment his fingertips touched the fabric of her shirt.

"Brother, it's not nice to touch me so early in the morning, is it?" Lu Mingze curled up beside him, blinking his doe-like eyes. This kid always dressed as if he was going to a funeral, even in bed, his bow tie was meticulously tidy.

Lu Mingfei retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted: "Why the hell are you here? Where's Eri?"

"You mean sister-in-law? She went to take a shower!" Lu Mingze turned over and curled his lips in anger. "Brother is really a traitor. He forgot his dear brother when he got a beautiful girl."

"Go away! I can hear you talking across the Pacific Ocean." Lu Mingfei muttered. He turned his head and looked at the bathroom, which was empty.

"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want from me?" Lu Mingfei looked at Lu Mingze sideways.

"Nothing, I just came to watch the sky curtain with my brother. After all, my sister-in-law usually accompanies me, so I was afraid you'd miss me." Lu Mingze laughed softly, "Brother, are you jealous of the gold dust?"

"Envy him?" Lu Mingfei was stunned. If he was referring to his wealth and status within the company, he wouldn't believe he wasn't envious. Topa, who previously worked at the same level as him, had already achieved financial independence. Sha Jin must be about the same, or even richer. If he had that much money...

He must have exchanged 1/4 of his life for the little devil in front of him.

Think about it and forget it.

"Well, I envy his... courage to smash the [foundation]." Lu Mingze said.

"No! Forget it!" Lu Mingfei quickly waved his hands. "No wonder they say some people deserve to earn some money. If I smash the foundation, the company will inevitably liquidate me, and I might even lose my life! How could I dare to envy such a thing? With that hammer, not only will I lose a quarter of my life, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my entire life!"

"Also, I want to correct you. Others have good luck, but I don't! Having courage also requires confidence!" Lu Mingfei added loudly.

"I am your strength—your greatest strength. So, if you have something important, could you please call me?" He jumped off the bed and tiptoed towards the door, turning back at the door. "But I suspect it will be here soon. Danger is not far away. Stay alert. Keep your phone with you at all times. Text me if anything happens."

He closed the door behind him.

With the "click" sound of the door lock closing, Lu Mingfei shuddered and everything returned to normal.

The sound of water dripping came from the bathroom. The girl's graceful figure could be seen through the blurry glass. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, bringing the smell of morning dew after the rain.

“[Diamond] always values ​​results. As long as the value I create far exceeds the cost… the process and means are not a problem.”

Gold Sand looked at his shadow. "How could I possibly deceive the family without paying a price? It doesn't matter. The cornerstone of [Preservation] will still function even if it's shattered. While its effectiveness will be greatly reduced, for me... that's enough."

Chapter 407 Pinocchio (Eighty-Eight)

"I'm really curious. Why is it that every step you take is so risky, and the options you prepare for yourself are always accompanied by a strong impulse to self-destruct?" Shadow asked curiously, "Do you really believe that 'the greater the risk, the higher the reward'? I didn't expect you to be so loyal to the company."

"Hmph, there's so much you can't see... so you can't see how I'm going to win everything," Gold Dust said coldly.

““The premise is that you can really do it.””

Gold Dust smiled meaningfully: "...We'll wait and see."

"The foundation stone at my feet disappeared. It was an illusion caused by Harmony. Shajin heard intermittent footsteps nearby. He turned around and saw the Evkin child not far away."

"Golden Sand went up to him and asked if he had found his parents. He said of course he had his mom and dad, but also his sister. The four of them had just played hide-and-seek here.

"The child put his hands on his hips, his eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. 'I'm so happy! On the way here, my dad took me to see the 'Banana Peel Movie.'"
