<h4>Chapter 262 Chapter 262: Scheme ? </h4>


    On the forty-ninth floor of the Kael Building, in the Administrative Department.


    The elevator, as clear as ss, ascends rapidly, with the city of dreams shrinking beneath. The imposing buildings, which require one to look up when on the street, seem like toy blocks from the towering heights of the Kael Building.


    Even the bustling downtown and busy streets seem ordinary and mundane from such a height, merely blocks, and the people on the roads be tiny ck dots in the view, like ants busily moving in and out of an anthill.


    "Dr. Renji, isn''t the view from here nice?"


    "As a child, I often passed by the Kael Building. Every time I was here, I would look up and swear to myself, dreaming that one day, I could stand at the top of this building. Now that I think about it, it was quite naive. Dr. Renji, do you have any dreams that perhaps thepany can help you achieve?"


    In the elevator, the manager looks out at the scenery, seemingly making small talk with Renji, who smiles and shakes his head at William in response.


    "Thepany probably can''t help with my dream. It''s quite simple, just to find a wife and have kids"


    "Ah, Dr. Renji, you really are... quite open-minded, haha"


    Caught off guard by Renji''s response, the William falls into a brief silence, which is soon broken by the ding of the elevator door opening. The silver-gray spacious lobbyes into view, with the iconic pair of angel wings emblem of Kael Technology ted in the center of the far wall.


    "This way please, Dr. Renji."


    The higher the floor, the quieter it bespared to the lobby downstairs. Renji hardly sees any employees along the way, and the corridor is eerily silent, with their footsteps almost soundless due to the plush, high-quality carpet.


    The office isn''t far from the elevator; just a few steps away. Before entering, a blueser from the electronic scanner above scans the two, and after the scanpletes, a sweet AI wee voice sounds, followed by electronic gates opening to both sides.


    Observing along the way, Renji couldn''t help but admit that Kael Technology''s security procedures are outstanding, with various scans and AI distributed throughout the building, each area having precise ess restrictions.


    Following William into the office, the enthusiastic manager first brews a cup of tea for Renji before sitting across from him,


    "Mr. Renji, what follows is of great importance, so I''d like to confirm your identity once more. Do you have any association with the Quis Group?"


    "I have no rtion to the Quis Group."


    Renji''s straightforward response makes William frown, but luckily, with the next sentence...


    "But I have made a promise to his sister."


    He naturally referred to Keyji. As for the promise, it was something Renji had unterally dered earlier, saying he would take responsibility if anything happened to Keyji''s sister. However, to William''s ears, the manager''s expression changed significantly.


    "So, you''re a friend of Director Diana. Then there''s no problem."


    ''So that''s her name...'' Renji noted silently without showing any reaction


    As for William, he didn''t harbor any doubts. Instead, it seemed obvious to him. After all, that female chairman is famously protective. Allowing her brother to go abroad alone, there must be someone she absolutely trusts by his side.


    In William''s eyes, Renji was already considered Diana''s confidant.


    "The thing is, about what happenedst night, we''ve already talked about it in theb. I''ll just say it straight, ording to ourpany''s intelligence department, the ck Fire Gang still holds a grudge against Dr. Keyji and is likely to take revenge on him soon. Please be very careful."


    "Is that all?"


    William could tell from Renji''s tone that he didn''t seem to take it seriously, which was exactly the effect he wanted. However, he felt the need to add a reminder.


    "The ck Fire Gang is a new gang that has risen in recent years. Despite being new, it has made several established gangs stumble. As they say, young bulls aren''t afraid of tigers. It''s better for Mr. Renji to be more cautious. After all, given Dr. Keyji''s background, if something really happens, with the power of the Quis Group, Dream City would be in turmoil for a good while."


    "Alright, in that case, could Mr. William please send me some information about the ck Fire Gang?"


    "Of course."


    Seizing the opportunity to get some information from Kael Technology''s intelligence department, Renji had almost figured out what William was plotting.


    Simply put, they were using Keyji as a shield and scapegoat.


    The ck Fire Gang virus already in Kael Technology was uploaded by William, indicating he had colluded with the ck Fire Gang to disrupt the uing press conference.


    They orchestrated a hero-saving-the-beauty scenario for Keyji, which not only retained him but also used "Lily" as bait toter use her of being an enemy spy who deliberately approached Keyji to extract important information, leading to a security breach at the press conference.


    Given Keyji''s background, Kael Technology would likely have no choice but to suffer in silence.


    But now, William also hinted to Renji that the ck Fire Gang was targeting Keyji, implying that once something happens, the Quis Group, which Renji supposedly represents, would immediately point the finger at the ck Fire Gang.


    Although Renji doesn''t know the Quis Group, based on many people''s attitudes towards this group, eliminating the ck Fire Gang would probably be a matter of lifting a finger.


    This way, the ck Fire Gang would be working for William, sabotaging the press conference, and then being directly eliminated by William using Renji''s influence, allowing William toe out spotless.


    Now, Renji''s only question was, why would William go to such lengths to sabotage his own painstakingly nned press conference? What was he aiming for?


    On this point, the nearby 86 provided an answer.


    Renji pretends to browse through the ck Fire Gang information William just sent him, but in reality, 86 has transmitted another piece of news to Renji.


    It''s an internalpany document from Kael Technology, showing that a board meeting was heldst night. In the photo, Renji can see William''s figure, who is quite tall and very noticeable.


    However, as the imposing manager in the boardroom, he seems like a minor character, always standing behind another director who appears to be his superior, a very obese and bloated figure. Renji narrows his eyes, noting that although the document doesn''t specify the meeting''s content, its purpose was tomend Director Allen for his outstanding performance in the special administrative department of Dream Zero. The whole document is filled with affirmations and awards for Director Allen''s work, without a single mention of William''s name. Even the uing press conference is credited to Director Allen''s orchestration.


    At this point, Renji feels no need to read further.


    ''It seems that the concept of parachuted leadership is applicable in any world''


    ''But perhaps on earth, one might only be able to endure in silence''


    ''But here''


    [Director Allen stated he would be present at the press conference, representing thepany to formally introduce it to journalists and various media]


    After reading the words "be present at the scene," Renji puts away the virtual tablet in his hands.


    Sitting opposite, Manager William still maintains his amiable and humble demeanor, but who could have imagined the ruthlessness behind it?


    Renji isn''t interested in the power struggles within Kael Technology, but he''s more than willing to see the waters of this press conference stirred even muddier.


    The only thing Renji feels he needs to pay attention to is to keep Keyji by his side on the day of the press conference. After all, he has utilized Keyji, so ensuring his safety is also a way of repaying him.


    "Speaking of which, Mr. Renji, you mentioned earlier that you had something to discuss with me?"


    "Oh, that, I was just wondering if Manager William knows anyone in the Fantasy Supervision?"


    CN. One had mentioned that their core chips are stored in reality, guarded by the Dream City''s Fantasy Supervision. Since William took the initiative to seek him out, why not continue to use this connection to acquire more contacts and resources?


    Seeing William''s puzzled look, Renji quickly exins: "Director Diana is very interested in the imprint technology of Kael Technology and has investment intentions. She hopes to understand more about Dream Zero, the origin of the imprint, from multiple perspectives."


    This exnation immediately rifies things for Manager William.


    "Coincidentally, after you, the next person I was supposed to meet is from the Fantasy Supervision. How about you wait here for a moment, Dr. Renji?"
