The reason why Sun Jack concluded that the Priest was a clone was not only that he saw him die in front of his own eyes, but also because of what the other party had just said.
He had only ever said that line to others, never telling anyone else, how did the Priest know about it?
Moreover, to clone the Priest, his DNA, personality, and memories were needed; besides Guan Sanke, he really couldn't think of anyone else capable of doing it.
"Alright, alright, playing it like this, huh? You want him dead, he dies; you want him alive, he lives?"
Faced with Guan Sanke's new trick, rage surged within Sun Jack, to him, these people were nothing but toys in the other's eyes.
"Shall we forcibly fry his brain? The Priest's firewall is weak, just let Tapai make a move."
The Digital Personality analyzed calmly. "Plus, those orphans are now the core force of Utopia Security; if they were to leave, the company might not have our own people anymore."
After thinking for a bit, Sun Jack slightly shook his head, "That's useless aside from alerting the enemy. Since he can clone one, he can definitely clone a second. What we need to do now is figure out how to deal with Guan Sanke's challenge."
"Moreover, don't you think their action this time precisely proves a point? If the enemy tries every means to stop something, that exactly proves I'm doing the right thing!!"
To tell the truth, Sun Jack had been somewhat unsure before. The path he was now taking was different from Li Jack's, but whether it was the correct one remained uncertain.
But seeing Guan Sanke's new maneuver just confirmed that what he had been doing during this time was indeed correct!
Without saying anything else, at least he could now be certain that as long as he continued to deviate from the script, the ratings for "Revolution Sun Jack" would definitely be affected, which would surely impact Guan Sanke's revenue.
In face of Guan Sanke's new maneuvers, Sun Jack contemplated seriously and then said to the Digital Personality, "Let's slow down for now, there's no rush to take action.
Since the other party has made a move, now I need to think about how to respond. And compared to before, I have more cards in my hand."
"Tapai, help me keep an eye on the Priest from the net. If they settle down, let me know immediately."
"OK."
Just as Sun Jack was about to walk back, his keen Sixth Sense alerted him to something above his head; looking up, he saw a drone swiftly flying toward Matrix who was stunned in place,
Thinking back to their recent interaction, Sun Jack knit his brows and walked toward him.
Matrix was still the same Matrix as before, but his demeanor seemed slightly different.
Sun Jack quickly glanced at the delivery package's scanning code, "'Nearly new, for female personal use?' What did you buy?"
"Reproductive organs."
Tapai came over with astonishment, "Wow, can you even sell that second-hand? Then what you got there should be called 2B, right?"
"Shut up!" Sun Jack glared at Tapai and asked Matrix again, "Where did you meet the Priest?"
"Bumped into him at Blackwater Pedestrian Street." Matrix answered while taking off his leather coat and, with a couple of clicks, attached it right on.
Sun Jack glanced over and continued to ask, "On the way there, did he tell you any useful information?"
"No, we exchanged some thoughts about the current progress of communism, and he didn't even mention knowing you."
This answer wasn't hard to guess. Besides, even if this priest was a clone, he wouldn't expose his true colors to someone he just met.
"Jack," Matrix's hand patted Sun Jack's trench coat, her face showing a hint of concern as she asked, "The priest is right, you know. If you keep going like this, you'll just become another capitalist puppet."
"What's the matter? Got used to being a Holy Grail Person and now you're lecturing me? Who are you? Are we close or something?"
Sun Jack couldn't be bothered to explain anything to her and just brushed her hand off. "Let's focus on making money first, damn it! With money, big problems become small, and without money, small problems become big!!"
As Sun Jack turned to leave, he hadn't gone far when he felt a soft body press up against his back, "Hey, Sun Jack, wanna fuck?"
He pushed her away fiercely, a look of disgust on his face, "What the hell is your problem?"
Matrix stood there, silently observing Sun Jack, her eyes gradually becoming more complicated.
"Do you think I've changed a lot? Because my class has changed. Environment and class really can influence a person so easily. I could go from being a Holy Grail Person to a Metropolis person. You think you won't, but when you have so much money and so much power, you'll think differently."
Far from persuading Sun Jack, this made him suspicious of Matrix's motives. "The priest mentioned it, and now she mentions it too? Could this woman be a Holy Grail Person's spy?"
Thinking this, Sun Jack decided to end their conversation. "Heh, let's just wait and see if I will!"
After that, Sun Jack's mouth twitched slightly, and he turned and walked toward the expanding headquarters of Utopia.
While waiting for information from the priest, Sun Jack also had some company matters to deal with, so he initiated an online meeting.
Ruishan Technology and Weike Medical had suffered heavy losses due to the corporate war. As one of the shareholders, Sun Jack decided to have Gaofeng Technology offer interest-free loans to help them recover quickly.
That was his plan, but, evidently, Gaofeng Technology's executives were not keen on it. When it came to money matters, everyone was tense and it had to be decided by him, the largest shareholder.
Although Sun Jack wasn't quite comfortable with these situations, with the purchased meeting AI and Abu's help, he managed to get through it.
Just as Sun Jack pushed open the door of the conference room, a disheveled AA excitedly raised her hands as she ran past him.
"Ahhh!!! Awesome!!!"
After AA ran by, five more AAs followed suit, running out behind her and hugging and randomly kissing Sun Jack as they passed. "I said, keep it in check a little!"
"Boss! Don't worry! It won't interfere with the company's logistics department's work! Now that there are 6 of us, efficiency has increased sixfold!"
Sun Jack initially wanted to find out who among the six AAs was who, maybe even hang name tags on them for easy identification. But then he thought about it and decided against it since all six AAs looked exactly alike.
"I just peeked, and it's like the goddamn human centipede. The Japanese sure know how to have fun," Tapai blurted out unexpectedly.
"Can you focus your processing power on proper matters? Where is the priest now?"
