Chapter 1767
1767 Walking Is Better
Yun Feidian’s sigh shocked all the leaders of the Blood Alliance.
It was as if they were seeing crisscrossing cracks on a pillar made of iron and cast of copper.
“Master, you-you weren’t saying this earlier!”
They shouted with pale faces, “You said that one could do anything to us. If anyone dared to force us into a dead end, we would fight to the death to make Dragon City’s financial market and economic order collapse!”
!!
“That was earlier,” Yun Feidian said coldly.
” I didn’t know that Meng Chao and the leader of the Turan civilization had already reached a blanket agreement.”
“It’s fake, it’s all fake!” the higher-ups of the Blood Alliance shouted in despair.
“Meng Chao is lying! His story is too bizarre!”
“Don’t you guys understand? In the financial market, it doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake.”
Yun Feidian gritted his teeth and said, “Even if Meng Chao is a liar, as long as he can convince all of Dragon City’s people to believe his lie and use real money to support his lie, that lie can become a truth.
“Our biggest trump card was the ability to shake Dragon City’s financial market and even economic order.
“The reason we could play this card was not because of how powerful the Blood Alliance is, but because of Dragon City’s economic development. We are indeed facing a narrow domestic demand market, an uncertain export market, and the unpredictable outcome of the colonization war, among other real problems.
“Meng Chao’s return and the ‘good news’ he brought with him have solved this problem. At the very least, it has been temporarily solved.
“Right now, all the citizens and investors in Dragon City have gotten carried away by Meng Chao’s good news. No matter how big the sell-off is, they’ll eat it up. With the bullets in our hands, it’s impossible for us to shake the financial market and even the economic order!
“Meanwhile, the only problem with Meng Chao’s plan to peacefully develop Picturesque Orchid Lake is that the starting capital is too high, and the investment time is too long. It’ll be difficult to see any short-term benefits.
“To appease the investors and rope in more institutions, as well as enterprises, to stand on his side, he needs to come up with more money, real money.
“Who has money? We do!
“If I’m not wrong, Meng Chao, Shen Yuanbao, the Azure Alliance, and the seven mega corporations are all sharpening their knives right now. They can’t wait to dig us out all and drain every penny deep in our bones as the start-up capital for their ‘peaceful development of Picturesque Ochid Lake.’ Our money will also act as the first bonus that will be given to the small- and medium-sized investors to build their confidence!
“Do you think they’ll let us go so easily under such circumstances?”
“But we still have the scandals of many Deity Realm experts!” a Blood Alliance leader, whose face was full of muscles, declared hysterically.
“At most, we will expose all the scandals and let everyone see the true colors of the crowned Deity Realm experts!”
“It’s no use. Scandals are just an amplifier. Scandals alone can’t bring down any Deity Realm expert.”
Yun Feidian sighed. “Do you think that the citizens of Dragon City are all idiots or fish with only seven seconds of memory? Do you think that they don’t know or remember the scandals of the most powerful experts? Do you not remember how they rose to power step by stepping on the dead bodies of their competitors in the bloody era? At that time, there was no order, and the strong preyed on the weak.
“Or do you all think that the citizens of Dragon City are blind and deaf and have never seen or heard of the extravagant and carefree lives of the supreme experts?
“Take Shen Yuanbao for example. He has more than twenty publicly acknowledged biological children and dozens of semi-public illegitimate children. Who doesn’t know that there’s something wrong with this, but who really cares?
“Let me tell you, ordinary people have never paid much attention to the scandals of the omnipotent experts.
“Ordinary people only care about two things.
“First, can the omnipotent experts help them withstand disasters? For instance, can they charge forth and destroy the monsters during the Monster War?
“Second, can the omnipotent experts develop the economy so that they don’t have to worry about food, clothing, wealth, and freedom?
“If these two things are fulfilled, the omnipotent experts can go ahead and party every night, having women on the left and right. The people will even laugh at their biggest scandal.
“If you can’t fulfill these two things, even the most insignificant things can be hyped up into a huge scandal, causing the omnipotent experts to be in a terrible fix and lose their reputation.
“Why have there been so many scandals about the nine rich families recently, such as the children of the super-rich being arrogant and domineering, indulging in luxury clubs, and so on?
“Are these things too much? Of course, it’s too much.
“However, has nothing similar, or even more outrageous, happened in the past decades? How was that possible?h
“Why did nobody care about such scandals in the past decades, but they’re making a big deal out of it today?
“It’s because the citizens of Dragon City no longer need the help of the strongest to fight against the monsters. Dragon City’s economy is in a tight spot too.
“The good news Meng Chao brought us can help Dragon City’s economy open up.
“The Holy Light faction that has occupied the core region of the Other World has made the strength of the omnipotent experts even more valuable.
“Under such circumstances, no matter how many scandals we throw out, no one will believe us. Even if they believe us, no one will care!”
His words rendered many of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups speechless.
Many of them glared at Yun Feidian again.
However, even if their gaze was hotter than a laser and they could burn holes in Yun Feidian until he turned into a hornet’s nest, it was not enough to solve the problem.
“Our leader, what should we do now?” the Blood Alliance’s leadership could only ask through gritted teeth as they held back their regret and anger.
“Let’s go back to our thirty-six stratagems!”
Yun Feidian made a quick decision. “As the saying goes, ‘a cunning rabbit has three burrows.’ Ever since the Blood Alliance was reestablished, I have secretly built dozens of hiding places deep inside the dark and deep Monster Mountain Range. A lot of food and crystals have been stored inside, which will be enough for us to live comfortably for several years. Nobody can catch us!”
“What?”
The expressions of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups changed drastically.
Yun Feidian’s suggestion was no different from asking them to confess and give up everything that they had worked so hard to obtain. They would hide in the mountains and live a life worse than death!
“This is only temporary. We will definitely return!”
Yun Feidian narrowed his eyes. “The mega corporations that represent the interests of the rich, as well as powerful, and the Azure Alliance that represents the interests of the poor are not of the same mind. Even if they can put aside their conflicts for the time being and develop Picturesque Orchid Lake together, their honeymoon period will not last long.
“There’s also the Turan civilization and the Holy Light faction. If the intelligence of these Other World natives is really as high as Meng Chao claims, I don’t believe that they’ll just watch Dragon City’s territory grow bigger and bigger in the Other World without doing anything.
“When the time comes, would you still fear that you won’t have a chance to stage a comeback?”
