Chapter 837: Chapter 826: The Self-Cultivation of an Actor

"Hey, what are you doing? You’re being too polite."

After Gustav arrived, the two immediately entered into a tug-of-war, but Gustav’s will was too strong, and he could clearly feel the other’s burning sincerity.

It wasn’t until Gustav mentioned that they had a hacker break into the security system of Kolo Film Industry building before the intrusion, and now the surveillance cameras in the command center were paralyzed, that their arm wrestling finally ended in a narrow victory for Gustav.

He carefully opened the gift bags in front of Song Lan, one by one, and started to introduce the items inside.

First was a pair of boxing gloves that looked quite old and had some paint peeling off them.

"The signature boxing gloves of the United Government’s underground boxing tour champion Stark of 2107, these have great commemorative and collectible value. I heard your subordinate, Roger, is a fan of underground boxing matches. These were prepared especially for him."

When Song Lan saw the crooked signature on the boxing gloves, he realized he had met his match.

Gustav came well-prepared; the gifts were chosen after thorough research and investigation, which for the Ragus Foundation, was not a difficult task to accomplish.

Next were several gold-trimmed cards.

Song Lan hurriedly declined, "This really won’t do."

After all, he was a public servant in District 17, and who knows how much money was on those cards. Considering the Ragus Foundation’s generous nature, he guessed it was probably an astronomical amount.

However, Gustav seemed to have anticipated his reaction and explained, "I’ve heard that Ms. Zhuang Chi has always been unlucky with money, having missed many opportunities to make a fortune, so these membership cards were prepared for her to use at shopping malls and websites under the Ragus Foundation."

Before the words were out, Gustav took out the gift meant for Valerian, "This is pre-war liquor, originating from Miss Valerian’s hometown. It’s useless in the hands of someone like me who can’t appreciate it, but for Miss Valerian, it might hold some special sentimental value."

Meanwhile, the sound of gunfire was incessant outside the door, with cries of pain coming intermittently.

The sounds were getting closer and closer to them, obviously, the defense lines below had been breached, but Gustav’s presentation was far from over.

The gift for Lu Xiang was even more practical.

"A cargo list of military technology from the Ragus Foundation’s subsidiaries, so once Director Lu returns to District 17, she can tailor a set of the most advanced military equipment currently on the market for the Law Enforcers," he said and slapped Song Lan’s shoulder with a sense of justice, "We’ve always hoped that District 17 can become better and better... Oh, and this, Mr. Qi He heard the finances of District 17 are tight, so you might find this useful, a construction discount card. For any future road reconstruction, you can enjoy a 40% discount."

"...There are now discount cards for construction as well?"

"You can think of it as a friend’s discount."

The last gift bag contained the gifts he had chosen for Song Lan himself, "A complete kitchen upgrade service, plus a home cinema system, including the latest VR cinema experience currently on the market."

Under the barrage of gifts, Song Lan’s steps were halted.

Gustav quietly packed the gifts back into the three bags in Lan’s presence, and placed them subtly under the table.

"It seems you are the leader of that group of Assassins."

Song Lan gave a soft cough, walked to the command center’s slightly ajar door, locked it and said, "Let me come to meet you."

As he spoke, he made his way back.

Continuing the movie that had been paused, he turned the volume up to the maximum.

Suddenly, the sounds of intense battle filled the entire conference room.

Song Lan felt that one could take a dialectical view of the situation in the command room. At face value, he had been bought by Gustav’s gifts, but in reality, Gustav was an extremely powerful Psychic, and the United Government’s intelligence department had never been able to get a handle on him over the years. Rounding up, he could be counted among the popular rescuers.

So, this could hardly be considered dereliction of duty - he had helped to stall the leader of the Assassins for Kolo Film Industry.

Could anyone else have done it?

That seemed unlikely, right?

Thinking this way, Song Lan pointed to the plate on the table, "Bacon enoki mushroom rolls, want to try? They taste good, it’s just that the bacon was fried a little too much."

.....................

Meanwhile, as Monica continued to advance, she noticed something was amiss.

The assault seemed overly smooth.

Even though they had encountered small-scale gunfights, the high-cost security team hired by Kolo Film Industry crumbled under her sole onslaught.

Qi He had informed her that the head of the security department was a veteran who had seen battle and would be a formidable opponent.

Yet in a recent shootout, that opponent had been easily defeated.

Due to the darkness within the building, she had not noticed where the bullets had struck the opponent, but she knew that for a veteran, it shouldn’t have been a fatal wound.

She no longer had time to go back and check the "corpse," as those disguised as Kolo Film Industry security personnel were already in place, and they, too, had not met much resistance.
