Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 858 Unbelievable! Sister Lan’s Normal Identity [2 More]
Chapter 858: 858 Unbelievable! Sister Lan’s Normal Identity [2 More]
When this face, cold as ice, filled the entire screen, there was a deathly silence, both at the press conference site and in the live broadcast room.
"But I suppose I don’t need to introduce myself anymore." Estelle clasped her hands, speaking again, "After all, I often appear in various news outlets, and you all recognize me."
"..."
Silence, still silence.
After a good ten seconds, a few scattered exclamation and question marks floated across the live broadcast room.
[???]
[Mom, it’s a ghost!]
[What does the Wanguo Group mean? They just announced Miss Estelle’s death the day before yesterday, but she’s clearly alive!]
[It might not be a real person. With science and technology so advanced, what if it’s AI-generated?]
[If Estelle is still alive, why did the Wanguo Group announce her death and elect a new CTO? I can’t help but suspect there’s a conspiracy here!]
Cliff was stunned as well, staring incredulously at Estelle on the screen.
Not just the screen at the press conference; every advertising screen within his line of sight was filled with Estelle’s face.
The entire network of the Global Center had actually been controlled!
But how could Estelle have such capabilities?
Could there be someone helping her from behind the scenes?
Who could it be?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Cliff’s mind. He gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, and yelled somewhat hysterically, "Shut it down already!"
Even if he knew it was useless to shut down the equipment now.
When Estelle’s face appeared in public, Cliff knew that all their plans had been ruined.
"Cliff, why so rushed?" Estelle sneered, "Where’s your courage to kill me? I’m still alive, why haven’t you tried to take my life?"
Everyone was shocked again.
[Oh my gosh, blockbuster news, so it’s an internal conflict within the Wanguo Group, and Cliff’s faction wants Estelle dead!]
[Now it’s solved, I wondered why the Wanguo Group was in such a hurry to raise a new CTO; turns out they wanted to push Estelle out and replace her with one of their own.]
[Cliff, you despicable old geezer, if you’re not up to it, step aside. What does killing mean?]
The scene became chaotic, with media reporters all rushing to ask questions.
"Mr. Cliff, did you attempt to murder Miss Estelle? Miss Estelle is still alive now, and you seem very surprised."
"Mr. Cliff, did you choose to... due to old age and a lack of talent?"
"It’s sheer nonsense!" Cliff couldn’t bear it anymore, "Who are you? Why are you impersonating Estelle? Estelle is already dead!"
Humans entering Atlantis, how could they possibly come out alive?
"Cliff, I’m putting it out there today: if you want to give my job to someone else, then I quit." Estelle raised her voice, "Because I want to be the sole shareholder of the Wanguo Group!"
Cliff was so furious that he almost fainted: "Estelle, you’re simply unreasonable. I think you’re mad! Who do you think you are, wanting the entire Wanguo Group?"
"Then just wait." Estelle sneered, "You’re ruthless, I’m relentless. Old man, I’m going to kick you out of the Wanguo Group!"
After she finished, she smiled brightly again, "Everyone, don’t be afraid. This is an internal conflict within our company. Carry on eating, drinking, and having fun. I’m logging off to prepare to deal with some people."
The screen went completely dark.
Cliff clutched his heart, struggling to breathe, "Quick... quickly find out where that damn girl is!"
He didn’t need to see to know that the Wanguo Group’s stock would plummet, and in severe cases, its market value could evaporate by tens of billions, even hundreds of billions.
Estelle being alive is indeed bad news, but wanting to take over the entire Wanguo Group?
What a pipe dream!
Cliff’s gaze was icy, this time, he intended to unite with other board members to completely expel Estelle from the Wanguo Group!

Elsewhere, in Atlantis, a place of pitch-black darkness, suddenly, a light from outside flew in, illuminating the ground.
On the ground, there was a huge black lotus, atop which sat a bald man, meditating quietly.
The man was deep in cultivation until Futu’s voice rang in his ears, "Zhu Lun, our god commands, are you not waking up yet?"
"Since it’s the command of our god, how could Zhu Lun not comply?" The bald man rose silently, "What is the command?"
"Go to Shenzhou and hunt." Futu said indifferently, "But it’s not just you and me. Our god also orders me to contact Guiyi."
"Guiyi?" Zhu Lun’s icy face showed a hint of surprise, "Our god even has Guiyi activated, seems we’re really getting serious."
Envoy Guiyi, mastering the Five Elements, understanding Yin and Yang, truly possessing the power to traverse between the worlds of Yin and Yang.
What he possesses is not physical power, but an attack that can penetrate the soul.
He can even silently extinguish the lives of tens of thousands, letting them die painlessly in their sleep.
This is a major weapon of Supreme Wisdom, originally a trump card against Cangyuan Country, unexpectedly to be used here.
"I thought Shenzhou was in decline, never to revive the glory of three hundred years ago, who knew they are still producing talents." Futu sneered, "If we truly let it go, in the future, it’d be a bigger threat, costing us dearly."
"You have a point." Zhu Lun nodded slightly, fully agreeing, "Shenzhou is indeed quite extraordinary, this land’s fortune is extremely strong, never waning."
"Let’s go." Futu remained indifferent, "Awaken Guiyi, we’ll head to Shenzhou."
Eliminate all who threaten their plan, leaving none!

Estelle’s appearance caused a great sensation at the Global Center.
The Wanguo Group was searching for her, various media outlets were searching for her, but none found her.
Estelle only contacted Petra.
"You really scared me to death!" As soon as Petra saw Estelle, she burst into tears, "I couldn’t reach you for months, and they said you were dead, I thought..."
"Grandma, haven’t I already come back?" Estelle looked extremely sweet and innocent, "Don’t cry anymore, if you cry so much you pass out, I’ll have to take you to the hospital."
Petra’s crying stopped: "..."
But not because she was consoled, rather she was infuriated.
She knew Estelle always had a sharp tongue during such times.
"Yes, yes, it’s good you’re alive, it’s good you’re back." Petra still appeared very anxious, "But you said those things this morning, how could Cliff let you go? Besides, the Wanguo Group has dozens of shareholders, and only a quarter support us. How can we manage the whole Wanguo Group?"
Everyone at the Global Center heard Estelle’s words this morning, how would it end?
It couldn’t end well, the consequences unimaginable.
Hearing this, Estelle’s spirit lifted, "I have Sister YN and Rich Sister on my side, Grandma, don’t worry, they’re very reliable."
Petra was very puzzled, "Who are Sister YN and Rich Sister?"
"Oh, Rich Sister is Kristin Constans, she is the director of the World’s First Bank, extremely wealthy." Estelle patted her chest, "Sister YN, even more extraordinary, she is—"
Her voice abruptly stopped.
She couldn’t possibly say that Ye Wanlan was an invincible hacker, the Divine Doctor incarnate, and a combat power freak, right?
Though those titles are quite intimidating, they are very inappropriate here.
Estelle scratched her head, asking for help from Ye Wanlan, "Y- Sister YN, don’t you have any normal identities?"
She had only met Ye Wanlan a day before, so she didn’t know much about Ye Wanlan.
But since Ye Wanlan could even kill Envoy Shenxiu, there must be nothing in this world that Sister YN couldn’t handle!
"Hello, Madam Petra." Ye Wanlan extended her hand to Petra, nodding with a smile, "Let me introduce myself, Ye Wanlan, Chief Executive of Pulling the Sky Company."
