Peninsula of England, a suburban villa somewhere.
The architectural style of the villa retains strong Renaissance features, which shows that this building has a long history.
It was here that Li Boyong had the honor to meet Lord Mallory, a tough old man who wore a monocle and echoed the image of a traditional British gentleman.
The reason why he did not call him that was because Lord Mallory insisted that the CEO of Amalgam was just his part-time job, and Lord Mallory, who controlled the local livestock industry and was well-known in the surrounding towns, That's his true identity.
This is of course just nonsense and wishful thinking, and does not mention the rights within the amalgam.
Lord Mallory's influence in business and politics alone is no joke.
After all, this Lord's grandfather was already an American oil tycoon. After participating in the creation of Amalgam, he took advantage of the convenience of the organization and the accumulation of three generations, and the energy in the hands of the other party was terrifying.
Otherwise, could an organization like Mithril be established single-handedly?
However, from that emphasis, Li Boyong did feel Lord Mallory's dissatisfaction with amalgam.
Yes, dissatisfied!
Here, we have to briefly talk about the historical origin of the amalgam organization.
Originally, Amalgam was a secret society established by five geniuses with different doctrines, ideologies, identities and specialties to prevent war.
With the lofty ideal that human beings can one day understand each other and achieve ideological unification.
The organization Amalgam continues to expand, constantly absorbing various talents, and then uses its huge influence to secretly guide the world.
It's a pity that with the passage of time and inevitable personnel replacement.
An organization that started with lofty ideals has deteriorated over the years and failed to retain its original great ideals. What is left is an ugly organization that is bloated, terrifying, and will do whatever it takes to serve its own interests.
As a descendant of one of the original founders of Amalgam, Lord Mallory is fortunate enough to still retain the position of CEO. Although he has lost management rights within the organization, he can still learn some insider information within the organization and participate in the highest level of the CEO. Rally and have some say.
Faced with the corruption of his father's hard work, the grieving Lord Mallory founded Mithril, hoping to restrain amalgam through force.
This is the approximate historical origin of the amalgam structure that Li Boyong knew.
And now, after Li Boyong met Lord Mallory, after a brief verbal test, Li Boyong was fortunate enough to learn about this magnificent history from Lord Mallory himself.
The story of Lord Mallory is far more specific than what Li Boyong knew. From the founding of Amalgam to the fall of the organization, there are members of Amalgam acting in the shadow of some world events.
As for what happened after the organization's fall, the old lord chose to keep silent, but there was a hint of sadness and indignation on his face.
Li Boyong was listening to the old Lord's story while eating delicious honey-glazed duck breast on the dining table covered with neat tablecloths.
Um…………
Eating famous French dishes in a British villa, the Lord's quality of life is really good.
Perhaps it was Li Boyong's generous and slightly vulgar way of eating that caught the other person's attention. The old Lord couldn't help but ask: "How does it taste?"
"It's very delicious." Li Boyong gave a thumbs up, then swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up a white napkin and wiped his mouth, and said casually: "If the habits developed in the industry cause displeasure to you, Lord, I'm here to apologize."
"Don't worry, I feel a little younger when I can see you looking so energetic."
The old Lord's face was full of smiles, and he didn't seem to care at all about Li Boyong's vulgarity, but there was some appreciation in his eyes.
As for whether it was out of sincerity or to show his magnanimity, Li Boyong didn't know.
"It seems that you have finished your meal, so let's get down to business."
The old Lord took off his monocle and wiped it carefully before saying seriously.
Li Boyong adjusted his sitting posture to a more upright position and motioned for Lord Mallory to continue.
"I heard that you are currently running to become a candidate for CEO. As a descendant of the founder of Amalgam, can I hear your thoughts?"
Lord Mallory asked.
"To be honest, I always feel like I can't get along with other guys in the organization lately."
Li Boyong started to perform, "I believe you also know that I only entered the organization to facilitate the establishment of Ankrastan."
"Later on, some accidents happened. I left the country and gradually improved my position in the organization. But the more information I got, the more I felt that I couldn't get along with other guys."
"Personally, what those guys did was quite unpleasant to me."
"Mythril in amalgam, I don't know when, someone started calling me that behind my back."
"Fortunately, my subordinates have gathered a group of guys who are also incompatible with the organization."
"After some things, I came up with the idea of forming my own system. I believe you can also feel that being the chief executive is my ultimate goal."
"It's not that I have such an unrealistic goal of changing the organization. I just want to have an environment more suitable for myself and the subordinates who follow me."
These words are sensible and reasonable. Although they are a bit straightforward, they do not make people feel hypocritical.
"Very good words. Being able to prepare these words, it seems that you have guessed the reason why I came to you."
The old Lord listened to Li Boyong's words and clapped his hands in praise.
"I wasn't sure at the beginning. I had several guesses in my mind, but at that time I thought it was more likely that the CEO wanted to make a comeback. It wasn't until you told me about the history of amalgam that I was completely sure about your idea."
Li Boyong said bluntly.
Of course, all the testing and performances are to make himself look more like a like-minded person who meets Lord Mallory's standards.
Any guesses or hesitations don’t exist.
He knew the other party's true purpose and thoughts from the beginning, but the necessary performance was necessary, otherwise he would shout directly to Mallory: "Comrade, I finally found you, let's change the amalgam together."
Instead, he might be shot dead in this villa. After all, although the security measures in this place are secretive, they cannot be underestimated.
"What if I say that I really want to gain momentum?" Lord Mallory asked.
"If so, it won't hinder your true purpose." Li Boyong immediately added.
"Hahahaha..." Lord Mallory laughed happily, "You are indeed an interesting young man. Well, I will help you become an executive candidate. As for cooperation, I will see what you do after that. Let’s talk about how to do it.”
