“Three cornerstones, that’s worth more than your life, gambler.”

Sand Gold looked at Ladio and smiled:

"Hey, professor, I didn't realize you cared about me so much."

Then Sand Gold looked at Toppa again:

"I was the only one who visited Pinocchio. If we were to announce that we lost three cornerstones... anyone would guess that our company was also there to cause trouble."

Toppa shook his head and continued to explain:

"Of course we can't say that to outsiders. A single cornerstone is enough to qualify the company to enter the market."

Ladio then spoke up to explain:

"The three cornerstones were meant for the old guys in the company."

This price is enough to make them temporarily set aside their infighting and concentrate their efforts to carve out a substantial slice of the Pinocchio pie for the company.

Sand Gold thought for a moment, then, with a carefree smile, said, seemingly jokingly:

"But after this happens, we might all be demoted?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

At that moment, an elegant and intellectual voice came from the doorway; it belonged to a graceful lady with purple hair.

"Lady Emerald? You've arrived so quickly?"

Toppa stood up immediately, looking very happy.

Emerald walked over to Topa, pinched her cheek, and spoke gently to everyone present.

"Sit down, little Yelena." He then pulled her hand and made her sit down, continuing:

"I have brought the latest decision. If the family still does not respond in two days..."

The company would then use force to forcibly take over Pinocchio.

Sand Gold frowned: "Has it escalated to such a tense situation?"

Jade calmly explained:

"It wouldn't have been like this originally, but this incident piqued the curiosity of a high-ranking figure within the company. When he turned his attention to Pinocchio, he discovered something even more interesting..."

Topa asked, somewhat puzzled, "What is it?"

Jade shook her head:

"That's not so clear, but the company's workforce is still migrating to Pinocchio."

"More reinforcements? The fleet surrounding Pinocchio is already quite a sight. Is this the start of a large-scale interstellar war?"

Sand Gold was no longer calm and asked with some surprise.

Ladio said with a somewhat solemn expression:

"If the family is pushed too far, Tong Xie's messenger is very likely to personally intervene."

Emerald smiled slightly, looking at Sand Gold and Ladio opposite her: "Do you remember what I told you before we set off?"

Toppa thought for a moment and answered first, "You should tell Sandstone to be careful, as Diamond is paying close attention to this operation?"

Jade nodded, then continued:

"The diamond side is also ready to enter the fray at any time."

Chapter 59 Fireworks turned into fun?

Ladio asked with curiosity:

"As far as I know, the Protector of the Diamond has divided his authority into ten parts, which are shared by the ten Stone Hearts. In addition, with the loss of the three cornerstones, will this affect his strength?"

However, Jade, Gold Placer, and Topaz simply smiled and did not answer the question.

"It seems there are some secrets I cannot know. Well, if there's nothing else for me, I'll take my leave now."

Sha Jin reminded:

"Be careful, Professor, things aren't looking good at Pinocchio right now."

After Ladio left, Toppa seemed to have thought of something and directly asked Emerald beside him.

"How are the preparations going for the habitable planet that Mr. Jiang Lin wanted?"

Jade thought for a moment:

"Hmm, at most half a month."

The gold dust was somewhat surprised:

"So efficient? Did no one bother our strategic investment department this time?"

Jade smiled slightly and explained:

"Someone at higher up is very interested in his research, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the company will engage in deeper cooperation with him."

At this point, Toppa thought for a moment and then shared his views with the two of them.

“I spoke with him once, and from my personal perspective, I don’t think he’s the kind of person who can properly discuss collaborations with others.”

Jade was somewhat curious: "Give me an example?"

Toppa thought for a moment: "If we were to do business with him, he would inform the other party of a price he could accept, possibly with a hint..."

If the price is lower than this, he will turn around and leave without hesitation.

"So, in the last negotiation with this person, we barely exchanged a few words, yet the company lost an entire habitable planet?"

Sand Gold looked at Toppa with a slightly teasing expression.

“If you’re so good, then you do it,” Topa said, somewhat unconvinced.

Zhang Zhang also made a couple of soft humming sounds towards the gold dust.

"Alright, let's calm down for a bit."

Jade, somewhat helplessly, stopped the two.

"For safety reasons, we'll leave this starry sky hotel soon."

Topa thought about it and had no objections.

But Sand Gold spoke up:

"No, I want to stay a little longer. I have a feeling that some of the friends I've just made might bring me unexpected rewards."

As for Jiang Lin, his pointless response had come to an end.

During the process, Walter took out the key that Silver Wolf had left with his family, a key that would allow them to access the hidden map...

Therefore, Himeko suggested that Welt return to reality to meet everyone, while the others head to the "hidden map"—the primordial dream.

Xinghe, March 7th, Danheng, and Huangquan had no objections, and since Black Swan was the guide, she naturally had no right to refuse.

As for Jiang Lin, he chose to refuse.

Jiang Lin could sense that Sunday's plans... were about to begin earlier than expected.

He planned to stay on Sunday and observe carefully, as such an opportunity was indeed very rare.

Jiang Lin's reason was to keep an eye on Sunday, literally.

Several people tried to persuade him not to do such a dangerous thing, but Jiang Lin was determined to leave.

Xing was the only one who didn't try to dissuade him; she was one of the few people who had witnessed Jiang Lin in action.

On Sunday, he sat alone at his desk, silently looking at the documents on it, seemingly deep in thought...

"Long time no see, Mr. Sunday."

Jiang Lin's voice came from behind him, and then he sat down opposite him.

Sunday frowned slightly and looked up at the man in black robes opposite him?

"Mr. Jiang Lin? What brings you here dressed like this?"

Jiang Lin took off his conspicuous black robe and said with a hint of helplessness:

"To be honest, I didn't feel anything before, but recently I suddenly feel that this thing is pretty ugly."

Jiang Lin sighed inwardly. Perhaps because he didn't even have the money to buy a piece of clothing before, he naturally didn't care whether what he wore was ugly or not.

I thought about it on Sunday:

“I think that, from an aesthetic point of view, you do have a lot of room for improvement.”

Jiang Lin shook his head and looked at Sunday, speaking directly:

"Never mind, I didn't come here to talk about that. I have something to tell you."

Sunday asked, somewhat puzzled, "What?"

Jiang Lin said very seriously, "Your sister is gone."

Just then, a beautiful figure pushed open the door and entered.

"Brother, I'm back."

Both of them looked at her at the same time.

Yes, it's a "robin".

"Hmm? Did I disturb you?"

On Sunday, he took a deep breath, looked intently at Jiang Lin, and finally spoke to "The Robin" in a somewhat icy tone:

"That's enough, Fool. Your foolishness won't fool anyone here."

Upon hearing this, the robin paused for a moment, then let out a cheerful laugh.

"You're quite perceptive, chicken wing boy."

"The Harmony Ode truly does not deceive us—'The words of a fool begin with folly and end with wicked arrogance'..."

On Sunday, he quoted scriptures in a flat tone, and then continued:
