Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1274 Soul 3 Question

Listening to Lin Yu's words, standing in this dilapidated scene built for the purpose of studying "fear", Buyetian Huo Le felt a spontaneous fear.

Although he had previously updated his evaluation of the person in front of him to "madman", at this moment, Buyetian Huo Le vaguely realized that... his madness was beyond his imagination.

"Do you know what you're talking about? You're trying to dig up a part of my mother's past that she deliberately hid, and then restart a project that she herself sealed?"

"Can you understand the danger?!"

Buyetian Huo Le stared at Lin Yu and could no longer maintain a calm tone to communicate with him.

But Lin Yu was very calm.

"Respected Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Sky, I am of course aware of what you are talking about. I have considered all of this," Lin Yu even maintained his polite use of language. "That is why I haven't even shown this to President Paris. What I showed him was footage from another research base in the Winter Snow Mountain that was destroyed, but not completely destroyed."

Seeing Lin Yu's stern attitude, Huo Le forced himself to calm down: "Does this mean that you planned all this from the beginning?"

"You convinced Paris with your words, just to see me and show me these?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course, Your Excellency, since we are going to do something so risky... we must choose investors who can provide me with the highest returns."

"I mean no disrespect to President Paris, but... compared to you, and compared to the future head of the Buyetian family, he's not enough to satisfy me."

"What I want isn't Mr. President's help or favor...but the opportunity to be on equal footing with him."

"This secret of fear that I know is like a button. Pressing it could lead to death or immense wealth... Now, I have chosen to press this button, and my efforts now are to maximize the wealth and status I will gain in the future."

Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huo Le and said seriously.

Huo Le sighed, "You still don't quite understand my mother... In my opinion, even if you come to me, the chances of you gaining wealth are still less than one percent, and the probability of her silencing you is as high as ninety-nine percent."

Lin Yu laughed: "That sounds really high, much higher than the lottery ticket!"

"But why should I take this risk and do this with you?" Buyetian Huo Le looked at Lin Yu and said calmly, "For me, this is high risk and low return."

"I'm going to risk offending my mother just to do something that will make my resume look better... This is such a stupid decision."

Lin Yu shook his head. "Your Excellency, you've got it exactly the opposite. In my opinion, this is a high-risk project for me. Failure means being silenced... I might even be killed before it's completed, or worse, before the project even begins."

"But for you...it's actually low risk and high return."

Nevernight Huo Le frowned: "I don't understand."

"Here, I want to tell you something that may sound a little incredible to you," Lin Yu chuckled softly, "I may know your mother better than you think... and, I may know her better than you do."

"Interesting," Buyetian Huo Le was not angry. Instead, he looked at Lin Yu again. "Your file is highly confidential. Even I can only see some of the projects you worked on in the past. Could it be that you have been secretly working for your mother and had contact with her?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "That's not the case. It's just that you don't have to have contact with a person to understand her...all you need to do is investigate - it's always easier to understand a person by looking at what she does than by looking at what she says, isn't it?"

"Although the respected Patriarch has been living in seclusion for many years, as someone who holds a high position and is so crucial in Nevernight City, it's easy to see what she's done. The current state of the Nevernight Family, the current landscape of Nevernight City, the development of the Truth Company over the past thirty years... all of this allows me to... speculate on what kind of personality the Patriarch might have and what her preferences might be."

Huo Le listened to Lin Yu's words with a complicated expression and a solemn tone, "You are really bold to dare to speculate on your mother's intentions and then try to guess what kind of person she is... But, doesn't this also prove that everything you said is just your conjecture?"

"You haven't seen Mother, so you don't know how powerful she is..."

Lin Yu shook his head: "I think I know it very well, even better than you, Your Excellency. So, why don't you tell me why you think the Lord of the Buyetian family is likely to crush me to death?"

"Because my mother has a strong desire for control, although sometimes she seems to be able to accept plans being disrupted, she has a near-bottom-line 'expectation' for everything, and she absolutely cannot accept things developing beyond her expectations. And when her expectations are violated by external forces, she will absolutely use any means, including murder, to put things back on track. In these aspects, my mother is truly ruthless... And obviously, killing you would be a very cost-effective option for my mother."

Huo Le of Buyetian said seriously.

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course I understand this, you are right... But, respected Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Sky, these are just the reasons why I have to take risks..."

"I'm going to ask you another presumptuous and offensive question. You can arrest me for disrespect after you leave... but I still want to ask, do you think the head of the Buyetian family is doing an excellent job in her current position?"

Huo Le frowned: "If others heard this, they would definitely arrest you... but I'm not that petty."

"As for the answer... Of course, there is no doubt that mother is definitely the most outstanding head of the Buyetian family."

Lin Yu immediately whispered again: "Do you want to be a family head like your mother?"

Huo Le hesitated this time: "If I have the chance to do it, I would be very happy to do it, but... my mother's ability is far beyond mine. It will be difficult for me to be as good as her."

Lin Yu laughed softly.

"I once heard a visitor from another world say, 'Respect is the emotion furthest from understanding.'"

"Then, one last question, esteemed Lord Huo Le of the Nightless Sky..."

"Do you think your mother would want you to become a head of the family like her?"

"Or... in other words, do you think your mother is satisfied with her actions as the head of the family?"
