Chapter 1664: Another Assassination!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
If Meng Chao had not cultivated to the Deity Realm, it would have been impossible for him to detect the “ventriloquism” without a professional listening device.
Even now, Meng Chao was concentrating and calming his mind while pouring a tremendous amount of spirit energy into his ears. From the auditory nerves to the cochlea to every single hair inside his ear canal, they seemed to become crystal clear and extremely sharp. As a result, he was able to collect the thirty-six thousand different voices in the outside world in an instant.
Based on the characteristics of the thirty-six thousand different voices, he searched for certain keywords such as “Shen Yuanbiao”, “Universe Corporation”, “Blood Alliance”, and so on. That was how he locked, extracted, and analyzed the real content of the conversation between the “university professor” and the “mechanic.”
However, the “mechanic” sneered and asked, “Do you think there’s something wrong with Shen Yuanbiao’s mental state?”
The “university professor” replied, “Yes. He’s a little anxious and impatient. He keeps complaining that we didn’t do our job well and failed to kill Shen Yuanbao in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain Range by leaving so many of his limbs intact.”
!!
“Shen Yuanbao is a Deity Realm warrior,” the “mechanic” said disapprovingly.
“No one and force can guarantee that they can kill a Deity Realm warrior 100%. Before he joined us, Shen Yuanbiao should have known how high the risk was.
“Speaking of which, Shen Yuanbao has been hiding in the depths of The Grand View of the Universe. He doesn’t even dare to let any reputable medical expert in Dragon City check his injuries. That’s enough to show our actions were effective. Even though we didn’t kill him on the spot, at least 80% of his combat strength is lost.
“The current Shen Yuanbao has become a toothless tiger on the verge of death. He is curled up in his nest and waiting for his death!
“Wouldn’t have Shen Yuanbiao thought of such a simple logic?”
“Yes, but what Shen Yuanbiao wants is not only Shen Yuanbao’s death but also a complete and generally stable Universe Corporation.”
The “university professor” said, “Since Shen Yuanbao didn’t die, it triggered a complicated chain reaction, causing Universe Corporation to fall into the middle of a whirlwind. Even its headquarters was surrounded by people. It was also the focus of the Supernatural Tower, the Research Department, the Audit Office, and other relevant departments. Its market value has actually fallen by 27% in the past week, but there’s still no sign of it stabilizing. If this continues, it would definitely trigger… No, it would fall into an unprecedented financial storm.
“Even if such a fragmented Universe Corporation falls into Shen Yuanbiao’s hands, it wouldn’t be a treasure trove. It would be a hot potato with thorns and poison. Shen Yuanbiao didn’t expect things to turn out like this. He was furious and grumbling in front of me.
“I observed his expression, and he already regrets working with us. He wants to cut ties.”
“Regret? Cut ties?”
Although the mechanic’s face was covered in oil, his wrinkled work clothes were covered in dust, and his back was a little hunched as if he was under heavy pressure from work, the cold gleam in his eyes was enough to pierce through the heart of a Heaven Realm warrior.
“What does he think the Blood Alliance is? Is it a caecum that can be easily cut on a whim?
“He can’t be so childish as to think that he still has a chance to cut off all ties with us and save his own skin. We’ve invested so much manpower and material resources on him, but we’re willing to let him off without taking a single cent back?”
“It’s not to that extent.”
The status of the “university professor” in the Blood Alliance should be much lower than that of the “mechanic.”
Although the cold glint in the other party’s eyes was not directed at him, he still shivered deeply and hurriedly said, “While I may be complaining, Shen Yuanbiao is also sure that he’s on the verge of being betrayed by his family and ruined. If he wants to protect everything, the only way is to collaborate with the Blood Alliance obediently and take control of the entire Universe Corporation as soon as possible.
“However, there have been new changes in the Shen family lately. Both the Blood Alliance and the adopted children faction have seemingly noticed his ambition. The two camps that are usually incompatible with each other are actually working together to force his hand.
“Despite being Universe Corporation’s chief steward, he doesn’t have enough shares on hand. In the past, in order to hide his underlings, he couldn’t raise too many henchmen. He doesn’t have the ability to fight back at all when faced with aggression from the Blood Alliance and the adopted children faction.
“Shen Yuanbiao asked me to tell you that if this continues, not only will he not become Universe Corporation, but the evidence of his collaboration with the Blood Alliance and the key evidence of his assassination attempt will also fall into the hands of the other party.”
“What is this?”
The fierce gleam in the mechanic’s eyes intensified. “Is this a threat?”
Confronted by his gaze which was half as hot as lava and half as piercing as ice, the “university professor” could not help but take half a step back.
The “mechanic” frowned slightly. His voice, which was on the surface, suddenly became 30% louder. It was as if he could not stand the university professor’s nitpicking. There was 30% anger in his voice that concealed the other party’s reaction.
“Alright, I know.”
After the “university professor” regained his composure, the fierce glint in the mechanic’s eyes vanished too. He changed the subject and said, “I heard news from The Grand View of the Universe that Shen Yuanbao has died. The cause of his death is unknown. Before he died, he even gave his private seal to Shen Yuanbiao. Is that why Shen Yuanbiao has become the target of public criticism?”
“There is such a rumor.”
The “university professor” said, “However, according to Shen Yuanbiao’s analysis, it shouldn’t be true. Instead, it’s a good show that Shen Yuanbao staged himself. His purpose is to stimulate the ambitions of the blood descendant faction, the adopted children faction, and even Shen Yuanbiao’s ambitions. He’s using the method of ‘luring the snake out of its hole’ to expose all the ambitious people who are hiding in Universe Corporation once they walk into his trap.
“Since Shen Yuanbao has likely faked his death, Shen Yuanbiao is too afraid to go all out and fight his nephews. Hence, he’s at a disadvantage.
“The problem is that even if Shen Yuanbiao has seen through Shen Yuanbao’s scheme, there’s nothing he can do.
“Ultimately, Shen Yuanbiao’s power and position all originated from Shen Yuanbao. As long as the latter is still alive and has doubts about him, no matter how much he jumps around, he can’t escape from the latter’s hand.”
“Therefore…”
The “mechanic” sneered, revealing his snow-white and sharp teeth. “…Shen Yuanbiao is trying to make Shen Yuanbao’s fake death become real?”
“That’s right.”
The “university professor” nodded. “As long as Shen Yuanbao is still alive, Universe Corporation will never truly fall into the hands of others. Many people in University Corporation who are wavering will never truly obey Shen Yuanbiao’s commands.
“Shen Yuanbiao suggests that we launch another assassination operation against Shen Yuanbao who has faked his death!”
