The faces of the seven puppets became more and more unsightly. It was as if a thick layer of black gas was being released from their seven orifices and all their pores, turning them into hideous demons.
However, Lu Siya was unmoved.
“The big explosion of the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse was your first big move after you surfaced. Under ideal circumstances, the explosion would be tied to the beasts in the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River. From there, the nine mega corporations would send their troops to invade a large area north of Dragon City and establish their own independent kingdom. They would create favorable conditions and suppress the voices of all their opponents,” Lu Siya said calmly.
“Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Not only did your rampage fail to help you achieve your goal, but it also backfired. It aroused the vigilance of Dragon City’s ordinary citizens and the superhumans who were born in humble families against the nine mega corporations’ enormous ambitions.
“Now that things have come to this, it’s impossible for the nine mega corporations to leave the Red Dragon Army and other interest groups before they march into the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River on their own to fight a ‘corporate war.’
!!
“I believe that countless high-ranking and powerful bosses in the nine mega corporations are eager to make a fortune in the long-awaited war. Perhaps they have already invested an immeasurable cost. If the war does not break out as they expected, their losses will be astronomical.
“Your stupidity has likely made them lose everything. I’m afraid that the bosses even want to chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs.
“To avoid disappointing the financiers behind you and show that you still have value, you can only continue to upgrade your plans and take repeated risks.
“The problem is that there is always a certain probability of failure when taking risks. No matter how good a gambler’s luck is, as long as he is unwilling to stop, there will be a day when he will lose everything.
“As I expected, you took risks multiple times, and the situation went out of control repeatedly, pulling you into a vicious circle. Now, you’ve kidnapped me here at the risk of public condemnation. Rather than saying that this was a well-planned scheme, it’s more appropriate to say that you’re a group of gamblers who have lost everything and are desperate.
“Therefore, no matter how extravagant your words are, they will never be realized. Even if I’m really ambitious, how can I be tied up with you gamblers who are destined to fail? It won’t be long before we are all nailed to the pillar of shame in history.”
“You…”
The facial muscles of the seven puppets twitched violently, forming seven expressions that ordinary people could only see in their nightmares. They gritted their teeth and spoke with killing intent. “Lu Siya, do you think you still have a choice?”
“I don’t think you dare to kill me,” Lu Siya said.
“Yun Feidian, you’re a smart man. You shouldn’t be controlled by your emotions. As long as you calm down and think about it, you will know that killing me won’t solve your problem at all.”
“What?”
The seven puppets were all in shock.
The strings that were pulling and manipulating them snapped because they became too tense.
“There’s no need to deny your identity. You’re only wasting our time and insulting our wisdom.”
Lu Siya’s voice grew calmer and calmer. She was as sharp as a scalpel that had just been unsealed and sterilized. “From the day of the big explosion in the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse, I’ve been thinking about the true identity of the real culprit behind the scenes.
“Obviously, from the perspective of motive and benefits, the real culprit behind the scenes has to be someone within the nine mega corporations. Only a bigwig with a high position in the nine mega corporations could mobilize such a huge amount of manpower, as well as material resources, and set off a storm inside and outside Dragon City.
“Of course, in the nine mega corporations, Deity Realm experts number in the double digits. It’s impossible for them to all agree and participate in such an action that breaks the bottom line. I had to continue narrowing down the scope of my suspicion.
“Unfortunately, Yun Feidian, you’ve appeared in my scope of suspicion from the very beginning, and you got increasingly close to being the main suspect.
“Compared with those first-generation Deity Realm powerhouses who are riddled with wounds and dying, you, a second-generation Deity Realm powerhouse, are young and ambitious. You have enough energy and resources to build a huge organization and carry out your own will.
“Despite your seniority and experience, and the fact that your combat ability has become more and more indispensable under the premise that many Deity Realm powerhouses were seriously injured by the monster mastermind, you have never been able to speak in the highest circles of the nine mega corporations as you think you should. The rules of the game have been set by those old men long ago. You can only make minor adjustments when allowed. It’s impossible for you to make a bold move and overturn any decision.
“This has also given you ample motivation to bypass the old geezers and steal the highest authority.
“At the same time, your Thundercloud Technology has been deeply involved in the construction of the forward base as well as the development and manufacturing of various war machines. Using the most advanced monster nerve-stripping technology, the self-learning AI, the runic machinery, and the various types of biochemical war machines developed by Thundercloud Technology are pretty much fully-upgraded versions of traditional military drones. They are a new type of monster that’s equipped with an armored shell and is controlled by humans.
“Once the nine mega corporations really decide to wage a war against the middle and lower reaches of the Raging Tiger River, without the possibility of large-scale conscription, ‘getting a small number of superhumans plus a large number of military drones and biochemical weapons’ will become the only feasible method.
“If that’s the case, Thundercloud Technology will definitely receive a large number of military orders. If the construction of various forward bases is included, by the time the colonization war is over, Thundercloud Technology will have a real chance of becoming the leader of the nine mega corporations. It might even leave the other eight mega corporations far behind.
“Although some of my nerves were anesthetized and frozen on the way here, I still didn’t give up and used all means to perceive my surroundings.
“If I’m not wrong, I was transferred from a van to a transport airship. After flying for a period of time, I was transferred to a humongous super transport airship.
“No… Judging from the subtle tremors that I can feel at this moment, while the super transport airship is affected by high winds, the effect is negligible.
“In the entire Dragon City, there is only one such huge air fortress, and that is the forward air base, the Golden Roc, which is under construction!
“This is the Golden Roc’s surveillance center. Who else but Yun Feidian is capable of bringing me here?”
