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

Chapter 1275: The picture shows the dagger

Lin Yu's question hit Huo Le's heart like a heavy hammer.

She vaguely sensed the intention of the person in front of her to ask such a presumptuous question.

Huo Le of Buyetian certainly understood that although his mother could not be called narcissistic or conceited, her confidence in her own abilities could not be explained by ordinary "confidence".

After all, the achievements of the head of the Buye Tian family are indeed enough to support her with strong self-confidence.

And as the chosen successor...

Huo Le knew very well that his mother must hope that he could do as well as her.

Even when he was young, Buyetian Huo Le often heard his mother's praise.

"This kid is a lot like me."

It is precisely because of these evaluations that Buyetian Huo Le has become the most popular candidate for the head of the family.

The fact that John H. Arthur asked such a question proved that he was not talking nonsense and that he knew his mother a little.

only……

Buyetian Huo Le looked at Lin Yu and asked softly.

"But what does this have to do with restarting the 'Fear' project?"

She already had a guess in her mind, but she needed the other party to give an answer.

Lin Yu also noticed this and laughed.

"Respected Lord Huo Le of the Nevernight Sky, of course it's because... your mother must be very much hoping that you can 'disobey' her for once."

"I didn't discuss this matter with the respected Lord Huoshu of Buyetian because I knew very well that in the master's mind, you were the only candidate. The others weren't competing with you, but were training you."

"So, she hopes that you can, like she did back then, remove any obstacles without hesitation and act independently, firmly and decisively so that she can confidently hand over the position to you."

"Based on this, I believe that if you were to restart the 'Fear' project... even if it ultimately failed, even if the Patriarch would blame and punish you, she would definitely not give up on you... Honestly, if I may be irresponsible, I think even if it failed, the Patriarch's inner evaluation of you might even improve—because this is what she's always longed to see—a leader at the helm of the Truth Company who no longer completely fears her, a leader who has found an 'angle' she hadn't even considered and put it into action... someone worthy of being the Patriarch of the Buyetian Family."

Lin Yu paused, then continued, "What's more, with me here, this project is bound to succeed—that's why I said it's 'low risk' for you, because no matter what, you're guaranteed to make a profit."

"And... what I said outside is also true. The upper limit of the energy source 'Fear' is indeed enough to widen the gap between Truth Company, Divine Power Group, and Universal General Chamber of Commerce from now on—that's the 'high return' part."

"Because I believe your position as Patriarch is already solid and unshakable, the benefits I bring you will not be reflected in the process of helping you ascend to the throne, but rather... in your governance after you ascend the throne."

"The advantages of this project will make the Truth Company even greater, and under your leadership, the Buyetian family will become the absolute ruler of this city!"

Lin Yu spoke excitedly, while Buyetian Huo Le looked at the newspaper and stared at his mother's photo.

Buyetian Yonglian in the photo is not only young, but also looks inconspicuous - in the group photo, she is even standing in the second row and not in the center.

After a long time, Buyetian Huo Le spoke.

"You've convinced me, Arthur. I have to admit... you are indeed a lunatic."

"But my mother told me that madmen are always indispensable to the development of society and the advancement of civilization."

"Now, I want to hear about your specific plan. What gave you the confidence that the Fear Project would succeed once it was relaunched, given that it had been completely erased?"

"Even though the research on fear was more mature than we thought, my mother eventually sealed it away, or even erased it, didn't she?"

"Doesn't this further indicate that the mother believes the risks of this project are too high?"

When Lin Yu heard the question from Buyetian Huo Le, he smiled confidently.

Although he smiled confidently, Lin Yu actually had no idea the answer to this question.

After all, he couldn't be completely sure whether this ghost ship was really related to fear - it was just his speculation.

Fortunately, although Lin Yu didn't know how to make the fear project a success, he could still make Huo Le of Buyetian believe that he had a way.

It's just a bit of bravado.

"In fact, the respected Lord of the Buyetian family had already found a way to solve the problem of fear. He used the emotions born from souls from other worlds as raw materials. The 'fear' born in this way would be activated in time. And because it did not belong to this world, the activated fear would become more controllable."

"However, the former head of the Nevernight family was thinking of harvesting the souls of visitors from other worlds. After all, this 'Ghost Ship' is a horror unknown to the residents of Nevernight City. Even if the lower-class people were to enter it, they would probably be more confused than terrified."

"This idea is brilliant. Naturally, I'll continue to explore the topic along the lines of the Patriarch's previous direction... Although I don't know why he shut down this project, my guess is that harvesting fear from the souls of alien visitors is inherently more difficult to control than activating fear."

"The environment back then was slightly different from today—the border gate wasn't as developed and convenient before the master came to power."

"The increasingly developed Border Gate has given me another way to harvest fear from the souls of other worlds... Perhaps, we no longer need to wait for those dangerous alien visitors to arrive in our world, leaving behind souls and fear."

"We can...trade directly with other worlds."

As Lin Yu spoke, he told out his plan which sounded crazy and he himself was not sure whether it would be feasible.

This fantastic plan had been laid out before, so when Buyetian Huo Le heard about it, he did not object immediately.

She thought about it: "It seems that I can give it a try..."

"But this isn't a simple plan. Even if I could make the decision on my own... I can't keep it a secret from Mother forever."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huo Le.

"Then don't hide it from the beginning."

He spoke.

"Although you said this plan is very risky for me...I have actually thought about how to reduce the risk."

"We should have directly informed the Patriarch of our plan from the beginning—and then, just like I persuaded President Paris and you..."

Lin Yu paused and presented his ultimate goal.

"Let's go together to persuade the master of the family."

"Or... let me convince the Patriarch for you."
