Chapter 395: Game

"Never expected this, did you? After all that, it turns out I'm of great strategic value myself," Sun Jack said with a smile to Guan Sanke.

"Sun Jack! My good brother!" Guan Sanke, with tears brimming in his eyes, grabbed Sun Jack's hand tightly and looked at him excitedly as if he hadn't just been gritting his teeth, vowing to take Sun Jack's life as if it wasn't him.

"Don't worry! As long as you surrender with me! I will ask them for the best resources for you!"

Sun Jack whispered into Guan Sanke's ear, "Have you lived all these years for nothing? Resources are fought for, not requested!"

Seeing that both the NDA Reform Faction and the Mechanical Conservative Faction had sent messages, Sun Jack decided to apply a bit more pressure. His expression suddenly changed, he violently shook off the other's hand, and looked down in shock at his own trembling mechanical arm. "What! You poisoned me?!"

"What?!" This scene suddenly caused everyone present to freeze, wondering what was being acted out, and questioning if a mechanical arm could be poisoned and with what.

"I get it! I get it!" An agitated Guan Sanke turned and ran, while the poisoned Sun Jack staggered to his feet and chased after him, being in a state of almost catching him and not catching him.

Whether he caught up or not, it was all a matter of control, and the initiative must be firmly in his own hands.

Although this part of the plot makes very little sense, Sun Jack didn't care about logic. He wasn't some aspiring director. He was waiting to see which side between the Mechanical Conservative Faction and the NDA Reform Faction would make a better offer.

Sun Jack's method was very effective, and soon someone contacted him, and that person was none other than X.

In the scene, he still sported his sky-blue metallic hairstyle with electric arcs, but his facial expression was very ugly, seemingly very displeased about being blackmailed by Sun Jack.

Behind X obviously stood the Mechanical Conservative Faction. Sun Jack straightforwardly said, "Name your price."

X spoke with a cold tone, "As long as you agree to stand with us, we promise to free you and your friends from their control, ensure your personal safety, and grant you absolute financial freedom. In the world of capital, financial freedom means everything, and I believe I need not spell out what that implies."

"Is that all?"

"Is that all? You realize how tempting these terms are to others!" X's voice was distorted with anger, having never seen such a greedy person before!

"Really? I understand, let me think it over." Sun Jack began waiting for the other side to continue their offer, as comparison shopping naturally maximized benefits.

However, perhaps the other side had figured out Sun Jack's intentions, as the DNA Reform Faction didn't contact him immediately. Sun Jack saw this and instantly got annoyed. It seemed he had to play his trump card.

"Hurry the hell up! If you don't make an offer, believe it or not, I'll introduce trashy melodrama into 'Revolution Sun Jack' and ruin the entire IP!!" After saying this, Sun Jack grabbed Guan Sanke and stuck his tongue into the other's mouth.

This threat was shocking enough; if the clichéd romance between Sun Jack and Guan Sanke really played out, then all the early investments of the DNA Reform Faction would be wasted.

Just at this critical moment, a very unfamiliar communication code appeared on Sun Jack's system interface, "We can make you a Holy Grail Person."

The system interface had no visuals, only a pitch-black silhouette with a large & painted on the chest, and his voice was deep and muffled, clearly representing the DNA Reform Faction.

Sun Jack relaxed his grip, letting a frightened Guan Sanke escape.

"Holy Grail Person, how tempting, but unfortunately, it seems the Conservative Faction's offer was a bit more generous."

However, it was clear that Black Shadow did not continue to raise the price, but instead asked Sun Jack in return, "What else do you want?"

After seriously considering for a moment, Sun Jack responded, "First, to become a Holy Grail Person, and second, I want the exclusive broadcasting rights to the 'Revolution Sun Jack' IP, along with 80% of the revenue from all figurines, and third, all the experimental results of your DNA programming technology."

"That's impossible!" the other party responded emphatically.

However, the next second, Sun Jack's right ankle suddenly twisted, and he collapsed on the ground, "Ouch, I've sprained my ankle. This DNA programming technology isn't as useful as the mechanical ones." Guan Sanke also cooperatively ran away quickly.

When they saw the dense nanotechnology enveloping Guan Sanke, and they were about to retreat, the other side, after weighing the pros and cons, finally gave in again, as the initiative was indeed in Sun Jack's hands. "We can negotiate a deal."

Hearing this, the thrusters behind Sun Jack suddenly emitted a fierce flame, and he quickly chased after Guan Sanke. "The DNA programming technology is indeed powerful; it can even detoxify automatically, and I recovered swiftly."

Taking advantage of the bargaining with both parties, Sun Jack sought as many benefits as possible; his enhanced intelligence was fully utilized in this regard.

Eventually, after a period of tug-of-war, Sun Jack managed to get barely satisfactory conditions from the DNA Revolutionary Faction.

"We can give you all the experimental results of the DNA technology, including the mature and immature ones, access to the media channels of Mutual Entertainment for the next six months, and 20% of the profits from all clone figurines," they said.

Compared to Sun Jack's sky-high initial demands, these requirements were still reluctantly met in the end.

And all these happenings were unknown to the audience of the Holy Grail, as well as to the audience below them.

What they saw was the final showdown between Sun Jack and Guan Sanke.

At that moment, Guan Sanke had taken advantage of Sun Jack's leniency and had already jogged to just underneath the Spacecraft Carrier.

He didn't care about the struggles between Sun Jack and the two sides; what mattered most to him was his own life.

Only when he got inside the Spacecraft Carrier through the traction beam and saw that Sun Jack did not chase after him again did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He had thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, he found himself still alive.

"Retreat! Withdraw! Let's leave Metropolis first!" Guan Sanke ordered the retreat while starting to mobilize his connections and resources.

As long as he could escape danger physically, there would still be a chance to survive.

If Sun Jack could be a turncoat main character, couldn't he, a master villain and director, take advantage of both sides?

Moreover, his resources were not something Sun Jack could compare with.

As he thought it over, Guan Sanke couldn't help but feel a wave of sorrow; he used to be a well-known director, but now he had jumped into his own script and become the main villain.

To actually take delight in escaping from the protagonist's pursuit—how miserable was he!
