In a meeting room.
Mo Wang was currently lounging with his feet on the conference table.
And his Bangboos were diligently handing him snacks and drinks.
Looking at him, it didn't seem like he was in a meeting at all, but rather on vacation.
And opposite him, there were four people.
Syuen was currently lowering her head, not daring to look at Mo Wang's face.
And as the other two giants of the Ark, Elysion's CEO Ingrid and Tetra Line's CEO Mustang, they didn't seem to mind Mo Wang's rude behavior at all.
And one of the Ark's three Vice Commanders, Anderson, was leisurely sipping his coffee.
"I'm sorry, Mo Wang. Syuen got a little carried away. We failed to keep an eye on her. I'm truly sorry."
Unexpectedly, it was Ingrid who took the lead in apologizing to Mo Wang.
She seemed to feel quite guilty for not keeping Syuen in check.
"Oh, it's fine, it's fine. Kids go through a phase of being loud-mouthed. A good beating usually fixes it."
Mo Wang readily accepted Ingrid's apology.
After all, unlike Syuen, his impression of Ingrid and Mustang was quite good.
In a place as hopeless as the Ark, these two were probably some of the few good people.
In the game, these two had always taken good care of the Nikkes under them, and had even helped the main characters' squad multiple times.
That was much better than the brat next to them, and the Vice Commander who was still silent and just drinking coffee.
"In fact, President Ingrid, I wasn't angry. After all, I don't need to get angry with an idiot whose intelligence is all maxed out in research, with zero in everything else."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing Mo Wang say that about her, Syuen began to rage again.
"Alright, alright, Mo Wang-boy~, don't be angry with Mr. Syuen."
And at that moment, Mustang, on the side, also began to play the role of a peacemaker.
After all, they weren't here to argue today.
Mustang then turned his gaze to Anderson beside him, signaling for him to say something.
"Ahem, ahem."
Seeing Mustang's gaze, Anderson also put down his coffee and looked at Mo Wang.
"Mo Wang, you should know why we came to find you today, right?"
Anderson's sharp gaze was directed at Mo Wang.
However, Mo Wang looked at Anderson with an indifferent expression. "Why? I really don't know. All I know is that someone sent people to barge in while I was conducting an experiment and even threatened to arrest me if I didn't come."
"What?"
Hearing Mo Wang's words, both Mustang and Ingrid couldn't help but look at Anderson with suspicion.
It was as if they were saying: Did you really go after this living ancestor like that?
"Ahem, ahem!"
Being stared at by the other two presidents, a touch of embarrassment appeared on Anderson's face. He then said slowly, "I won't beat around the bush. Mo Wang, shouldn't you explain what's going on with that robot and the giant warship that appeared on the battlefield?"
"What's going on? I built them myself."
Mo Wang spread his hands and said just like that.
"You built them? Bullshit! How could you possibly build that kind of robot and warship?! Even if you could, you wouldn't have had the time in such a short period!"
Hearing Mo Wang's words, Syuen couldn't help but snap.
As the only research-oriented president present, she knew very well how difficult it was to create those two exaggerated things.
And Mo Wang was saying he had made them himself?
"I can't help it if you don't believe me, right? Here, this is the report from when I purchased the materials. See for yourself."
As he spoke, Mo Wang had a Bangboo toss over a file.
"Are you kidding me? With this junk?"
Not just Syuen, but even Ingrid, Mustang, and Anderson were getting a headache.
Because Mo Wang's so-called list was just a pile of reports on the purchase of Rapture fragments.
To say that you could create such exaggerated things from this pile of unrecyclable junk, wasn't that just ridiculous?
Eh~ It's fine if you don't believe it! In any case, Mo Wang's meaning was, "I've given you the evidence. It's your problem if you don't believe it."
What? You ask how Mo Wang did it? Trade secret, no interviews.
"You! You bastard! Even if you did make it, what do you mean by not reporting it to the Ark? Are you really planning to rebel?"
Syuen couldn't help but slam the table and question Mo Wang loudly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. So, what can you do about it?"
Mo Wang was a shameless bastard, not afraid at all.
If you say I'm rebelling, then I'm rebelling. At worst, I'll really do it. What can you do to him?
"Syuen, stop talking."
Mustang, on the side, directly pulled back Syuen, who was about to say more. His head was starting to ache.
What could they do?
If they could do anything to Mo Wang, they wouldn't be sitting in a meeting room right now.
And the ones looking for Mo Wang would have been the Triangle Squad long ago.
The reason they were here was to sound out this living ancestor's intentions, wasn't it?
They had originally thought that Mo Wang was just a very talented researcher, at most with some black technology.
After all, MMR had plenty of people like that.
But who would have thought that this person would quietly create two superweapons?
According to the Ark's AI's estimate, Mo Wang's giant robot alone could shatter half the Ark with a single blow.
With that kind of firepower, even if the entire Ark's forces went up against it, they would probably be toast.
What could they do now?
And Anderson was also speechless at Mo Wang's attitude.
The guy didn't even bother to argue with them. He just took the attitude of "you're right about everything, at worst we'll go to war." Anderson really had no way to deal with this.
Not to mention, Mo Wang's popularity among the Ark's civilians was already ridiculously high.
Just the Bangboos under his command were a big problem.
At some point, the Bangboos had spread throughout the entire Ark.
If they weren't mistaken, Mo Wang was fully capable of using these Bangboos to take control of the entire Ark in a short amount of time.
Even Anderson had no good solution for this.
"Ahem, ahem! Let's put aside the matter of the warship and the robot for now."
At this moment, it was Ingrid who stood up and said to Mo Wang.
"Mo Wang, I heard from Rapi that you saved a Nikke who was infected with corruption during your previous mission. We would very much like to know how you did that."
Hearing Ingrid's words, a look of understanding appeared on Mo Wang's face.
So, this was the real purpose of these people.
