Chapter 444: 405 Xize Laurent: Boss! [1 update]

The words had barely left her mouth when her assistant froze. “Teacher Ying, what did you say?”

Even Herwen, who seldom paid attention to domains outside the scientific community, was surprised and looked up. “The Lorentz Family?”

The Lorentz Family, a name known to all in the world.

It was common knowledge that only the Lorentz Family could be called the number one family in the world.

The global economy was controlled by the Lorentz Family.

Even the Ancient Martial World was wary of the Lorentz Family.

It wasn’t because the Lorentz Family’s overall martial power actually surpassed those Ancient Martial Arts Families with ancestors who had two to three hundred years of cultivation. Rather, it was because the Lorentz Family had someone behind them.

The Diviner.

Those who truly knew the deepest secrets of the world, mingled in NOK forum’s hidden sections, were aware that the Lorentz Family’s unwavering stance in Jade Ice Cui was inseparable from the Diviner’s assistance.

Even though the Diviner hadn’t shown up for years, even though the Lorentz Family’s influence had declined for more than two hundred years.

Unless necessary, no power would willingly offend the Lorentz Family.

You could run from the Lorentz Family if you provoked them.

But if you provoked the Diviner, the issue would escalate significantly.

In both O continent and Hua Country, the Diviner was recognized as the top Fortune Teller.

If Fortune Tellers weren’t so extremely rare nowadays, with the entire world unable to muster up twenty skilled ones, then there would be no dissent over Fortune Tellers holding the top spot in all hunter professions.

Having the power to predict destiny, to change fate, was akin to challenging the heavens.

Neither Poison Masters nor Hypnotists could compare.

However, the facts that the Diviner and Xize Laurent were still alive were unknown to Herwen and his assistant.

As for the latter, even some of the big shots in the NOK forum were unaware.

After all, since waking up, Xize Laurent had hardly left Lorentz Castle, always directing from behind the scenes.

Herwen and his assistant only knew that the Lorentz Family was very powerful, powerful enough to firmly suppress The Four Great Financial Groups of O continent.

“If the Lorentz Family would invest, of course it will be possible,” the assistant shook his head. “But how could that be? The Lorentz Family is now solely focused on the banking sector and hardly pays attention to other domains.”

Historical records mentioned this.

One of the reasons the strongest leader of the Lorentz Family, Xize Lorenz, was subjected to multiple assassination attempts, was because the Lorentz Family had funded too many prominent figures in various domains.

The music industry, the research community, the oil painting world… the list was endless.

This had incited the jealousy of various powers.

But there was no consensus on this record, and nobody truly knew if it was accurate.

Yet, since retaking control of Jade Ice Cui, the Lorentz Family had not funded any scientific research projects.

“If it’s enough, then that’s all we need,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly. “Professor, don’t worry, the lab will continue to operate; it won’t close.”

The Cosmic Carrier experiment was one she absolutely had to be involved in.

After nodding in acknowledgment, she took her leave first.

In the office, Herwen and his assistant exchanged a bemused look for the first time.

An inexplicably silent atmosphere descended.

“Pro… Professor,” after quite some time, the assistant finally snapped out of his daze and swallowed hard, “Teacher Ying, she… she even knows the Lorentz Family? What… what kind of person have you unearthed in Hua Country?”

Even the Venus Group couldn’t directly persuade the Lorentz Family to invest. At most, the two sides could cooperate.

What level of a person could casually ask them if the Lorentz Family would be enough?

It’s as if Ying Zijin would increase the stakes if they said it wasn’t sufficient.

Herwen was also puzzled. “I’m not sure.”

He was keen on nurturing talent, not wanting gold to go undiscovered.

When he had signed Ying Zijin to the lab, he never bothered to check her family history or background.

To Herwen, it wasn’t important.

The assistant scratched his head. “Professor, if it is true, that would really be…”

He didn’t dare to continue the thought.

With the Lorentz Family involved, would the Pazzi Family still dare to make a move?

Forget the Pazzi Family, even The Four Great Financial Groups combined wouldn’t dare.

What’s more, if the Lorentz Family invested in Herwen’s lab, Herwen’s personal security would be highly safeguarded.

The three globally recognized forces “not to provoke” included the Lorentz Family, known for defending their own.

“Peace of mind,” Herwen shook his head, still optimistic. “Sometimes the more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.”

He put on his glasses and stood up. “I’ll go to the operation room, then schedule the next few days’ agenda, postponing all other affairs.”

The assistant nodded. “Understood, Professor.”

The next few days were the ISC international finals, and Herwen was determined to witness them in person.

The security personnel would had to be thoroughly prepared.

After leaving the lab, Ying Zijin returned to her dorm room.

She sat at her desk, turned on her computer, logged into the NOK forum and entered the hidden section.

Then, in the “add friend” column, she typed in the ID “Only Love Money.”

Ying Zijin hesitated for two seconds but still hit the Enter key.

The profile picture was of a young man’s silhouette, none other than Xize Laurent.

She paused for a moment before sending a message.

[The Diviner]: If you see this, knock on my door.

Ying Zijin also knew that Xize Laurent’s servants tasked with caring for him would never betray him, so she was quite reassured.

Moreover, they were all aware of the relationship between the Diviner and the Lorentz Family.
