Chapter 242 - News, Inhuman Coup, and Gravitonium

Sable did indeed turn around.

However…

She mischievously crossed her arms, covering her smooth, creamy skin—refusing to let the boss enjoy the gorgeous view of her chest~

"Not letting you see~"

She tossed Ye Li a playful, flirtatious glance.

Then, stepping lightly on the soft sand, she headed over to a lounge chair under a sunshade, laying down slowly with her back to his gaze.

A female mercenary began applying sunscreen for the silver-haired beauty, which made her already seductive, curvy back gleam with even more tempting luster.

And from the side, one could just barely glimpse the compressed softness of her snowy delights~

"This girl~"

Ye Li chuckled at the sight, clearly knowing Sable was deliberately teasing him.

But truth be told, the Lady Silver Sable was slightly mistaken.

He wasn't just ogling her gorgeous figure—

it was because the system had just pinged him with a notification———

[Triggered 'Silver Sable' Silvija Sablinova's "Connection Quest": Sable wants a beautiful silver seashell — gift her a silver seashell that satisfies her.]

[Complete the quest to gain access to the 'Silver Sable' Silvija Sablinova's Template.]

…..

Seeing how simple the task was, Ye Li was happy to oblige. While admiring Sable's charming silhouette in the distance, he continued to dote on the deputy director Hill before him, while also dialing a subordinate on the phone. With his super-brain and triple enhanced senses, he began multitasking—

[Beep——]

The call was picked up almost instantly.

On the other end, a sweet-voiced female subordinate answered attentively: [Boss, what can I do for you?]

[Make me a necklace right away—silver seashell design, high-quality craftsmanship, must be entirely silver. Got it?]

[Understood, boss. I'll immediately contact top jewelry designers. Where should I have it delivered once it's finished?]

Though Ye Li's request was sudden, the subordinate quickly sprang into action to arrange it.

[No need to deliver. Just notify me when it's done, I'll come pick it up myself.]

[Beep——]

After giving his instructions, Ye Li hung up and waited patiently.

With nothing else to do for now, he opened the system's [Morning Sun News Channel] to check the broadcast———

[Yesterday's News Segment]

[Classified intel from a mysterious organization was completely leaked online yesterday, sparking heated discussion among netizens. Is this a distortion of human nature, or a collapse of morality———

Below are linked comments from the web:

『Turns out my neighbor was a spy! If this stuff wasn't leaked, I'd still be in the dark!』

『Hey, I'm telling you guys secretly—I'm a ranked player in Ready Player One, and one of my past missions involved ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (huh? Why's nobody replying? Am I shadowbanned?)』

『I knew it! My instant noodles didn't come with a flavor packet—definitely S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fault!』

『+1, my pizza was missing a slice yesterday—must be part of their conspiracy too!』

『C'mon guys, can we not have a serious discussion for once…』

『Discuss what? Check out this meme—[Chicken playing basketball]』

『Heyyy~ Chinese meme pack! I got one too—[Rise again, my beloved Silver]』]

[...]

"...." (This thread derailed way too fast.)

Ye Li scrolled with a speechless expression and quickly switched to the next news segment———

…..

[Today's News Segment]

[Inhuman royal Maximus launched a long-planned coup, usurping his brother Black Bolt's throne. Princess Crystal and other royal members have fled to Earth…]

...

[Tomorrow's News Segment]

[Korra and Quinn have kidnapped Dr. Hall and created a massive gravitonic device…]

…..

'So, the Inhumans have undergone a coup… and this graviton device…'

Ye Li had little interest in the drama of Black Bolt's royal family.

What did pique his interest was the next-day news.

The so-called "gravitonic device" must refer to Gravitonium.

Gravitonium is a rare element that can manipulate gravity, so Ye Li planned to send an investigation team to acquire some for research.

"Mr. Ye, would you like a drink or some fresh Hawaiian fruit?"

Rachel appeared at that moment, carrying a tray, and politely asked.

"I'd like… a taste of your cherry red lips~"

Ye Li chuckled, pulled the cat-eyed girl close, and kissed her for a while.

Then he gently pushed on her shoulder, guiding her to kneel down…

"Mmnnn…"
