Rebirth: Super Banking System

Chapter 1946: Chapter 1771: Despair from the Depths of the Soul

The next day.

Early morning.

The third time venturing out to sea.

However.

Everyone was no longer filled with the joy of the previous two times. On the contrary, their faces were filled with worry. If the theory was confirmed, they would have to think of another way. Although the sharks were ’smart,’ it’s not hopeless.

“Why hasn’t this old guy died yet?”

“Strong-willed.”

“Who cares.”

“He definitely won’t survive two more days.”

A week.

Tuoyin had not eaten for a week. Although he drank water, according to human physiology, he must be at his limit. Perhaps he would meet God in the next hour. No one paid attention to the wooden raft.

“You won’t survive today.”

Tuoyin slightly closed his eyes.

Gazing at the sea surface.

Today.

Was also the anniversary of his death.

Aboard the wooden raft, besides people, there were also many stones to see if they could scare away the sharks. Watching the wooden raft disappear from sight once more, Tuoyin did not close his eyes; time was short.

This time.

Came back earlier.

Before noon.

It had split into two halves and rowed back. The sharks appeared on schedule just now. They threw stones at them, but instead of scaring them away, it angered them. Once again, their boat was capsized.

No one died.

But.

No one could be happy now.

“Bastard.”

“FUCK.”

“Finished.”

“We are trapped on this island.”

“Who could it possibly be?”

“No matter who set this trap, we can’t afford to provoke them right now. The rescue from Kovalro, it seems we can’t rely on it anymore. This way, they clearly don’t want us to return to society.”

“…”

This outcome was hard to accept.

The atmosphere.

Became bizarre for a moment. Natural disasters they were not afraid of, but when it’s clearly man-made, they were frightened. “Don’t lose heart, they are just sharks. Think of a way. We’re humans; should we fear animals?”

The others: “…”

Afraid!

How can one not be afraid!

This is at sea, and those are swarms of sharks.

“It’s almost here.”

The sun was at its zenith.

Tuoyin glanced around, trying to discover something, but the sea surface showed nothing. Could it be that they had already landed behind them? No, there shouldn’t be a need for such caution.

“Old man, what are you muttering about?”

In the distance.

One person saw Tuoyin moving his mouth amidst the melancholy.

“Hmm?”

Tuoyin looked over, smiled slightly, and muttered to himself, “Are you curious about my identity, curious why I was brought along despite being old?”

As soon as he finished speaking.

He was surrounded.

All around.

Pairs of eyes gazed at him, the strongest man frowned, “Who the hell are you? What do you know?” Even he wanted to know about Tuoyin’s identity, considering how the elder defended him.

Tuoyin smiled.

Casually announced his name.

“Tuoyin?”

“Never heard of it.”

“Who is he?”

“Don’t know.”

“…”

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew what that name meant. This point made Tuoyin somewhat proud of Kovalro’s secrecy work, but the next moment, his expression turned bitter.

Proud?

Proud of what?

Secrecy.

Yet their home base was dug up, their inviting home was invaded. Before the final victory of the rival, they didn’t even know they had one. In the end, when the dust settled, he turned into a joke.

Kovalro.

Was taken over.

“Kovalro was founded by our family. You could also say that I am the controller of Kovalro, or rather, the former controller,” Tuoyin said word by word.

“…”

All around.

Dozens of people seemed petrified.

Staring blankly.

Their eyes filled with incredulity, what did they just hear? The founder family of Kovalro, the controller, was this old man in front of them, their biggest boss was standing right there.

No.

Impossible.

If so.

Was it that Western consortiums joined forces to destroy Kovalro?

No.

Impossible too.

These consortiums had close relationships with Kovalro. There was no reason to destroy Kovalro. It’s not like Kovalro knew too much and was being targeted for that reason.

Confusion.

Minds were disordered.

“Is it true?”

The man finally uttered.

“Hmph.”

Tuoyin proudly smiled, in that moment the aura as if he was the incredibly powerful Kovalro controller. The man looked at Tuoyin with skepticism, suddenly recalling the earlier words.

“Former?”

The man exclaimed.

So.

Was there a current one?

“Hmm.”

Tuoyin withdrew his smile.

“The current controller is targeting us?”

“Hmm.”

“Why?”

The man asked everyone’s question. They did not know who the controller was. Any new controller could control Kovalro by controlling the people here, so why target them?

There’s no reason.

“Because.”

After pausing.

Tuoyin coldly smiled, “You’re useless.”

“What?”

This statement.

Provoked everyone’s anger. They were organization elites, how could they accept being considered useless? But Kovalro’s next words shamed them, “How do you explain now?”

Indeed.

Now.

Everyone being trapped on the solitary island, how to explain? If it’s not being useless, what else is it?

“Are we . . . destined to die?”

The man suddenly asked.

“Hmm.”

Upon hearing this.

The situation almost spiraled out of control, but the man reined it in. He squatted in front of Tuoyin, “We don’t want to die, is there a way to survive, like, killing you, or this is the key.”

“…”

Key?

You’ve played too many games.

In fact.

The man did indeed like puzzle games, finding the key and reaching the export. If the person in front was Kovalro’s former controller, their warlords could very likely be Tuoyin’s life.

Hmm.

Very likely.

“Haha.”

Tuoyin didn’t know why he laughed, just felt like laughing.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Leaving life with a smile.”

“I might not kill you.”

The man said.

“You don’t need to.”

“I can give you food.”

“Not necessary, very soon, they will come. You should also enjoy this last scenery. Anyone who comes to this island can’t survive. Today at noon is the final deadline.”

Upon hearing this.

A commotion broke out.

“Final deadline?”

“What.”

“What do you mean?” The man grabbed Tuoyin by the collar, his complexion drastically changing. Today at noon? Damn it, isn’t it now? The sun was already high, right at the zenith.

“They…”

Tuoyin’s complexion shifted, “are here.”

He leaned against the stone, others stood around him. Through the gap between his legs, he saw people emerging from the sea to the shore, but everyone’s gaze was fixed on him, ignoring the commotion at the shore.

“What?”

Instantly.

Everyone felt their hairs stand on end, terrified.

Looking up.

Turning around.

At once everyone’s gaze turned to terror. On the beach, stood a line of ten people, fully armed, wearing combat uniforms of unknown origin, and behind them at sea was a… ship?

No.

It was not a ship.

It was a submersible.

But.

This damn thing was too big.

Just the part on the sea surface, was a good twenty meters wide, like a six-story building. Witnessing all this, a chill occupied their bodies and mind, making them feel no hint of the sun’s warmth.

That was the despair from the depths of the soul.
