Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Across the ocean in the United States, New Mexico State, within the Averson Family estate.

Jose Averson, over seventy years old, dressed in an old-fashioned suit, seemed quite spry as he hung up the phone, his face suddenly darkening,

Sitting alone for a long time, Jose pulled out a document.

All the data collected were related to Su Jie, Jieke Company, Tianyuan Home, Tianyuan Daily, and Mu Hua Company, among others.

After about fifteen minutes, Jose put away the documents and then called someone over.

"Mr. Jose."

The man who entered the room was a blond man, shorter than five foot seven.

This was Jose's personal assistant, who managed many of the Averson Family's secretive matters, serving only Jose.

"Contact Councilman Ivan for me, I want to invite him to dinner tomorrow evening. Also, get the company's public relations department moving, go and stir things up in Southeast Asia, I remember there are many warlord organizations in Chan Country, perhaps they could use our help."

Jose spoke unhurriedly as he gave his instructions, since some young upstarts wanted to monopolize the game, he naturally would teach them that the rules of this world were not so easily played.

"Yes, Mr. Jose."

The assistant nodded, taking note, then hesitated before speaking:

"Mr. Jose, regarding the information about Rafael, Miss Milissa Dogan has heard some rumors and is now making a fuss, demanding that you ..."

"Don't bother, consider her son dead."

Jose interrupted his assistant in a cold tone, his face devoid of warmth, as if Rafael were not his son at all.

The assistant bowed his head, daring not to say more, and hurriedly left the room.

Elsewhere.

After being released from prison, Su Jie returned to the conference room at the Jieke Company headquarters.

Liu Yingying and Chen Yaoguang were already waiting there.

"Listen to this recording first."

Su Jie inserted a USB drive into the computer and played the conversation he had previously with Jose Averson.

After listening to the entire conversation, Liu Yingying and Chen Yaoguang both looked worried.

"What are your thoughts?"

Su Jie looked at them, asking for their opinions.

"Well, I think that Asder Pharmaceutical will definitely take action and hit our business, but I don't know from which angle they will approach."

Chen Yaoguang frowned, slightly embarrassed.

He was skilled in raising insects, but when it came to business competition and scheming, that was where he struggled.

"Yingying, what about you?"

Su Jie then turned his gaze to Liu Yingying.

After a moment of contemplation, Liu Yingying spoke, "Our Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid is about to launch overseas soon, and the United States is an important market for us. The opponents might exploit this aspect."

"Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid's overseas sales, as that's not our stronghold, the opposition indeed might exploit that."

Chen Yaoguang nodded. Asder Pharmaceutical ranked seventh among global pharmaceutical companies and was a domestic company in the United States. If they wanted to target Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, it would indeed be hard to handle.

"Now our Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid has already entered overseas markets, stored in major offline malls and platforms like Amazon. It's too late to pull back."

Liu Yingying was somewhat worried. Being targeted by such a renowned multinational pharmaceutical company was indeed a tremendous pressure.

"If enemies approach, we meet them in battle; if flood comes, we build a dam—there's no reason to shrink back before the battle has even begun because of fear."

Su Jie remained noncommittal before continuing, "Aside from these issues, intensify the training for Jieke Security in the coming period. Increase recruitment, and purchase more weapons and ammunition from the outside world as a precaution."

"Su Jie, are you saying…"

Liu Yingying and Chen Yaoguang were both suddenly startled. Su Jie's words had a very clear implication.

"The other party knows our real base is in the Mande region and according to the usual behavior of the Anglo-Saxons, given substantial interests, they will not give up easily, and will surely target our Achilles heel."

Su Jie spoke calmly. The United States people often began by using political black gold to bribe leaders of target countries, fostering democratic leaders to instigate peaceful evolution in those countries. If they couldn't buy them off, they'd go for decapitation.

Especially in chaotic regions, they dispatched commando squads with precision-guided missiles to decapitate leaders. If a problem couldn't be solved, they would eliminate the person who pointed it out.

If the peaceful change succeeded smoothly, they would end up having a barking dog raising their flag.

If it failed, they either claimed your home held laundry detergents, or labeled you a terrorist, and then, under the guise of peacekeeping and anti-terrorism, they stayed in your home and wouldn't leave.

Fittingly, Chan Country, where Su Jie was located, was such a war-torn chaotic country, still in a semi-split state, giving outsiders plenty of opportunities to intervene.

Although the Mande region, where Su Jie was located, had no oil, given Asder Pharmaceutical's financial capacity, orchestrating a proxy war was well within their means.

Su Jie would not overestimate the moral limits of the United States people; they were entirely capable of engaging in such acts.

"We are still in contact with several arms dealers. Now that the company is financially robust, we can afford a lot of military equipment."

Liu Yingying nodded in response. Given the perennial conflicts in Chan Country, it was naturally replete with arms dealers, and many kinds of weapons were available.

Su Jie continued, "Besides purchasing arms, pay attention to distributing some intelligence operatives, or perhaps purchase some, to monitor the nearby forces. We must be the first to know about any changes."

Since Su Jie couldn't always stay on Blue Star, he would eventually return to the Tianyuan World, and thus would need to rely on the strength of Jieke Security.

If a proxy war indeed erupted, the power of Jieke Company would also be crucial.

The impending war wouldn't be minor, as quite a few satellites would likely be monitoring by then, along with the existence of various communications.

Unless Su Jie wished to expose himself, he had to control his methods of action, necessitating the inherent strength of the Jieke Company.

Once Jieke Company had purchased a large arsenal to bolster its capabilities, Su Jie might even opt for a preemptive strike to eliminate external threats.

"I will arrange for someone to handle it right away."

Liu Yingying was somewhat nervous. After hearing Su Jie's words, she felt like war could break out at any moment.

"Don't be afraid; things might not be as bad as I envision."

Su Jie said this, but Liu Yingying didn't dare take it lightly.

She understood the importance of the Mande region. In Liu Yingying's view, whether it was timber or hair growth original fluid produced here, without this territory, everything in Hua Country would be illusory, as this place was the real foundation.

"One last thing, send some people to gather as much information as possible about the Avelson Family."

Su Jie issued his final command. The enemy situation was unclear, and that side was still a foreign land to him; he was not confident that he could annihilate the people of the Avelson Family. Killing one or two members of such a family was inconsequential; even if a clan leader were killed, they could quickly appoint someone else, which might alert the enemy prematurely.

But gathering information beforehand was always good. When necessary, Su Jie didn't mind making a personal visit to the United States homeland.
