Yama Rising Chapter 1065: Fierce Clash (3)
Chapter 1065: Fierce Clash (3)
Thanatos's expression had darkened considerably. In contrast with Archimedes, he was the one who was truly being humiliated!
Just a moment ago, he had stood on the stage, declaring to everyone that the Heavenly Fire Research Center was the first scientific organization to discover the proton and electron Yin runes, thereby ushering in the new era, but his announcement had been refuted with such brutality that he didn't know what to do with himself!
However, no one cared about what he was thinking at this moment, everyone was already in a frenzied state!
"This is electricity... They actually managed to develop a new energy resource!" Giltine's hands were trembling as she looked around at the dazzling lights around her, while a rush of dizziness washed over her.
"Who's participated in the Cathayan Underworld's research and development? I want all of their data and statistics right away!"
"Is there anyone from any of our allied underworlds that was a part of the Cathayan Underworld's research and development team?"
"This is electricity! There's no mistaking it!"
"The new era is right in front of our eyes! Countless industries and possibilities are going to appear in this world from this day forth!"
"I am truly honored and awestruck to be able to witness such a monumental moment in history!"
Thanatos's speech had filled them with a sense of anticipation and longing, prompting them to envision what it was going to be like once electricity appeared in the underworld, yet the Cathayan Underworld had brought their visions into reality!
Their lofty statuses and their exceptional self-control were the only things stopping them from shrieking like banshees, but they still couldn't help but discuss what they were seeing with one another in hushed conversations, and their collective voices culminated into a loud and chaotic chorus than rang out across the entire hall.
How could they not be excited?
This was a massive cake that had just emerged, one so large that even the smallest slice from it would be able to present countless opportunities and profits!
Some of the Yin spirits present were more restrained and reticent, but others knew that in certain situations, shamelessness had its merits, and they were the ones who immediately tried to pounce onto this opportunity.
Right as everyone was still thinking about how to proceed, several figures had already jumped up from their wheelchairs and were rushing forward at an extraordinary speed completely unbefitting of their frail and elderly appearance. As they did so, they had already pulled out gold-plated business cards, and they wanted nothing more than to shove those cards straight into Qin Ye's brain so he could never forget them!
"Yanluo Qin, I am the chairman of the Psalm Consortium, Archbishop Antonio. May I ask if the Cathayan Underworld's new energy resource plan will be distributed to the rest of the world? The construction team of our Psalm Consortium is one of the best in the world! We have experience in constructing countless churches, so you can place your trust in us!"
"Yanluo Qin, I am Chairman Abdullah of the Abbasid Consortium. Our construction team consists of top-tier artisans who constructed the pyramids thousands of years ago, and we would be honored to offer you our services. On top of that, we are willing to take on all of your nation's electricity industry construction projects at the lowest possible price!"
"Yanluo Qin, look no further than our Blue Forest Consortium! We control all of the world's high-end restaurants, theaters, and all types of other recreational facilities! We are the best choice for you!"
You shameless old bastards!!
All of the death gods present were glowering at the 10 elderly men with furious expressions.
Everyone knew that the emergence of electricity would bring on a worldwide revolution. There were countless industries that relied on electricity, and they were undoubtedly going to be rising up one after another in rapid succession in the near future!
If the top 10 consortiums could dominate just a few of those industries each, then their status would be unshakeable!
However, this opportunity wasn't just going to be handed to them on a silver platter.
There were countless nations that wanted to sign electricity agreements in order to increase their employment rates, and the death gods of those nations wanted to bend down and lick Qin Ye's boots as well, but they were death gods, and they had to maintain some sense of dignity!
They were gritting their teeth so tightly that they felt as if their teeth were on the verge of shattering, but they couldn't do anything.
During the past editions of the international trade conference, journalists weren't permitted to enter the main conference hall, but all of them had burst through the doors and were surging into the hall with just as much enthusiasm and vigor as the 10 consortium chairmen.
"Yanluo Qin! Yanluo Qin!" They looked as if they had gone insane as their image capture crystals flashed incessantly in Qin Ye's direction.
"Yanluo Qin, when did the Cathayan Underworld develop the new energy resource?"
"Yanluo Qin, will the data surrounding the new energy resource be released?"
"How long has the Cathayan Underworld already been using the new energy resource?"
The three pillars had opened the gate to the new era, only to find that someone had already walked through the gate ahead of them!
So this is the trump card you had up your sleeve... You chose this open-air conference hall so that everyone could see the light show you're putting on outside!
"Please be quiet and respect the rules of the international trade conference, everyone." Qin Ye finally spoke, and everyone immediately obeyed and fell silent.
He turned toward the dumbstruck Camross with a nod, then said, "Chairman Camross, I think the emergence of the new energy resource is important enough to act as the main subject for this international trade conference, so why don't we make it the focus here?"
A wry smile appeared on Camross's face. He didn't dare to raise any objections, but as the chairman of the GTO, it was his responsibility to maintain order here.
"Yanluo Qin, with all due respect, I must refuse. No one anticipated this turn of events, so we haven't made any preparations. In order to discuss the new energy resource, the conference will have to be extended by at least a month, and we have to organize for people to prepare the relevant documents right away, including certificates of approval for all of the patents involved..."
Right at this moment, Perkins, who had remained silent this entire time, suddenly stepped forward and interjected, "Mr. Chairman, all of that has already been prepared."
Camross immediately turned toward Perkins with an incredulous expression, as did the three pillars.
You sly dog! How could you betray us like this? At least give us some forewarning!
Goosebumps instantly appeared all over Perkins's entire body, and he didn't even dare to look at the death gods of the three pillars. Without the relevant documents, the three pillars could still apply to postpone everything, but now that everything was ready, there was no way for them to weasel their way out of this predicament!
The Cathayan Underworld had dropped a massive bombshell on the entire world, and there was no time for them to react!
"Fuck!" Yamaraja swore under his breath, and a sense of irrepressible panic was surging through his heart. He couldn't even remember the last time he had felt this type of fear.
It was clear that the Cathayan Underworld was about to make its move. The new energy resource alone wasn't worthy of panic, what was truly damning were all of the follow-up strategies that the Cathayan Underworld had undoubtedly prepared!
"Are you sure?" Camross asked with an incredulous expression. "Do you think this is a good time to be discussing something like this?"
"Of course it is!" The one who had replied wasn't Perkins. Instead, it was Archbishop Antonio, the chairman of the Psalm Consortium. An amicable smile appeared on his wizened face as he said, "I can't wait, even for a single second, to hear about Yanluo Qin's grand plans for the future of the new energy resource! Seeing as everything has already been prepared, why shouldn't we begin discussions right away? Isn't the international trade conference the perfect occasion to be holding such discussions?"
He cast his gaze toward all of the other underworlds as he said, "Next year, the Psalm Consortium is preparing to invest hundreds of billions into the real estate and religious industries that we're most familiar with. Please give us your support, everyone."
Translation: "All of the underworlds depending on our investments to support your economy, speak up right now! This is the time to make your voices heard!"
Silence.
Several seconds later, the ruler death gods of the Hopi Underworld and the Semitic Underworld said, "We agree with Archbishop Antonio's opinion."
"We concur!"
Concur my fucking arse!!
Anubis had to strain every sinew in his own body just to fight back the urge to kill Archbishop Antonio on the spot!
Aren't we supposed to be allies? Isn't the Psalm Consortium supposed to stand with the three pillars? How could you stab us in the back like this?! Aren't you afraid that I'll raze your Psalm Consortium to the ground?!
However, upon thinking about how much of the Aegyptian Underworld's tax revenue came from the corporations under the Psalm Consortium, Anubis knew that there was no way he could actually lash out against them, and that made him even more furious, but also resigned at the same time.
Camross took a deep breath and ignored Archbishop Antonio as he continued to stare directly at Perkins. "Are you sure? You still have a chance to change your mind. There are over 500 documents that have to be prepared, and that's not even counting all of the patent approval certificates."
Perkins gritted his teeth and stole a glance at Qin Ye, then replied through gritted teeth, "I'm certain!"
A smile appeared on Qin Ye's face as he chimed in, "There's no need to force anything. If the GTO is unwilling to facilitate this discussion, then we can just found a Pan-Asian Trade Organization and discuss this subject there."
Camross's heart completely sank upon hearing this.
However, Qin Ye paid no heed to his reaction at all as he cast his gaze around the entire hall. "All of the Asian Underworlds are present, right?"
At the same time, the chairman of the Sacred Treasure Consortium cleared his throat as he cast a threatening gaze toward the few Asian Underworlds that held voting rights during these international conferences.
If you dare to say no, I'll show you that even an old dog can still bite! Hold on, did I just call myself an old dog?
"I concur..."
"I... also concur."
"I concur."
Fuck!
Yamaraja's fists were so tightly clenched that the joints of his hands were cracking within his sleeves, and just like Anubis, he was struck by the urge to wipe out the Sacred Consortium in a fit of fury!
However, he then thought of the massive yearly rent that was issued for the Kailasa Temple, as well as the largest contributors to government tax revenue in the Hindustani Silicon Valley...
Fuck! I'll let you off the hook this one time!
Camross heaved a faint sigh, then cast his gaze toward the completely silent hall. Even the three pillars weren't raising any objections, so he could only concede. "We'll do as you say, Yanluo Qin. This meeting is hereby adjourned. The second discussion that was scheduled for 8 PM tonight will be canceled, and a discussion meeting for the future development and outlook of the new energy resource will be held in its stead by..."
"I'll hold the meeting in person," Qin Ye chimed in with a smile. "After all, no one understands the new energy resource as deeply as the Cathayan Underworld, isn't that right?"
Camross sighed, "As you wish. Meeting adjourned."
All of the Yin spirits immediately stood up and departed from the hall. No matter how alluring the new energy resource was, they knew that the most important thing to do at a time like this was to calm down and organize their own thoughts.
A massive wave was coming, and they had to build sturdy boats in order to be able to ride the wave, rather than be drowned.
They knew that some were destined to be crushed by the wave, while others would be elevated to unprecedented heights.
A faint smile appeared on Qin Ye's face at the sight of all of the hurriedly departing Yin spirits.
Little did they know that the new energy resource was only a catalyst. What was coming next was going to be the main surprise!
Thanatos's expression had darkened considerably. In contrast with Archimedes, he was the one who was truly being humiliated!
Just a moment ago, he had stood on the stage, declaring to everyone that the Heavenly Fire Research Center was the first scientific organization to discover the proton and electron Yin runes, thereby ushering in the new era, but his announcement had been refuted with such brutality that he didn't know what to do with himself!
