Chapter 22
Making an Enemy Out of More Than 70% of the Divine Runemasters in the Nine Region Empire
The soundproofing in the large helicopter was very good.
Zhao Yuting sat next to Gu Changqing. Today, she was dressed in a pair of black jeans and a white shirt that revealed her belly button, perfectly showcasing her chest, hips, and legs.
When the cameraman pointed the camera at them, Zhao Yuting said, “Boss, there are a lot of your fans in the broadcast room. They want you to help them.”
After Zhao Yuting finished speaking, the live broadcast room became very lively.
[Sister Tuan Tuan, you’re really good. You kept your word!]
[I hope Boss Gu will help us. We don’t want much. We only want two cans of meat daily for our work.]
[That’s right. We don’t expect to live like we did in the past in the chaotic world, but we must be treated fairly. Please help us.]
[Boss Gu, please help us.]
[Please help us, Boss Gu.]
Gu Changqing took a look at Zhao Yuting’s phone before he said, “Tell me what you want. If it’s not too much, I’ll help you.”
A comment popped up, and the others were just a copy of the same comment.
[Now we’re given two meals and one canned meat for ten hours of work. We’re willing to work 12 hours for three meals and three cans of meat.]
They were not greedy and only asked for what they deserved.
Gu Changqing nodded slightly and said, “Alright, three meals and three cans of meat daily.”
After a brief pause, he said again, “After today, if any factory gives you less than three cans and three meals a day, leave a comment on Dragon Net, and I’ll make them pay.”
A vicious smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, “If I find out that they deliberately close down the factories, I’ll kill them.”
Gu Changqing was an ordinary person in his previous life. He knew how difficult life was for ordinary people after the Cataclysm. Since he had the ability, he would help them.
Seeing that Gu Changqing agreed to help them, the nearly 400 million people in the live broadcast room were in an uproar, cheering excitedly.
[Thank you, Boss Gu! We’ll all listen to you in the future! Only you treat us as humans!]
[Boss Gu is the best! To the Divine Runemasters who exploit us, did you hear what Boss Gu said?]
[Boss Gu, I sincerely wish you all the best in your life as a Divine Runemaster! I hope you’ll be invincible forever!]
…
Huang Mengguo, Long Zhanguo, and Xuanyuan Wang Rui were happy for the ordinary people, but they could not help but feel uncomfortable because of Gu Changqing’s prestige and how everyone worshiped him.
“It seems like he has the final say now in our Nine Region Empire, right?”
After a moment, Long Zhanguo said, “Why… Why don’t we contact him again and ask him to be the leader of the Divine Runemaster Alliance again?”
“Good idea! Let’s try again,” Xuanyuan Wang Rui said with a nod before he dialed Gu Changqing’s number.
…
In the helicopter.
Gu Changqing looked at his ringing phone and canceled the call. Then, he looked at the camera and said, “I know you’re watching the live broadcast. I’m not interested in becoming the leader of the Divine Runemaster Alliance, but I’ll help the people if I have to. I will kill anyone who dares to harm the people regardless of their identity.”
Upon hearing this, the people in the live broadcast room were deeply moved. They felt like it was a blessing to have someone like him in this chaotic time.
[Boss Gu is too domineering! So cool!]
[I was wondering why Boss Gu isn’t the leader of the alliance! As it turns out, he doesn’t care for the position!]
[Boss Gu’s words are too domineering! Fortunately, our Nine Region Empire has Boss Gu. Otherwise, I really don’t know how we’re going to live!]
[Ah! I’ve become a fan girl of Boss Gu! What should I do?]
…
M Country.
“This Boss Gu is very charismatic,” Athena commented as she watched Zhao Yuting’s live broadcast.
James Kohler nodded. “He has this thing about him that makes people trust him from the bottom of their hearts. He’s a natural leader.”
“I can’t wait to meet him,” Athena said with a smile.
“Don’t be so charmed until you don’t want to return,” James Kohler said teasingly. Then, his expression turned solemn as he continued to say, “By the way, the satellite has captured something huge approaching the Bermuda Triangle. No matter what it is, it’s imperative that we build a good relationship with Boss Gu.”
Athena nodded. “John told me about it. The change came so suddenly. Although the impact on us is very small, we can’t let our guard down.”
Before leaving, Athena said again, “I’m going back to change first. Then, I’ll see what supplies can be loaded onto the plane.”
…
In a luxurious office in the 100-story building.
A handsome man dressed in a suit sat in front of a desk watching the live broadcast with a gloomy expression on his face.
“Gu Changqing! You dare to stand up to 70% of Divine Runemasters?”
The handsome man’s name was Su Ge, the owner of one of the three trillion-dollar companies in the Nine Region Empire. He himself had two powerful divine runes, and he had more than five hundred Divine Runemasters under him. If anyone owned a lot of meat processing factories, it would have to be him.
Su Ge’s beautiful secretary frowned and asked, “Boss, what do we do now? Are we going to listen to Gu Changqing? If so, I’ll pass down the order now.”
Su Ge fell deep into his thoughts. Gu Changqing’s intimidation was really too great. As such, he did not dare to rashly make a decision.
At this moment, Su Ge’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing who it was, he answered the call.
“Brother Chu, what did you say?”
The other party was another owner of a trillion-dollar corporation. He said wryly, “I couldn’t make up my mind so I called to ask you.”
Su Ge thought about it for a while before he said, “Why don’t we… listen to him for now, and find a way to kill him later?”
“He’s a god-like existence. Can we really kill him?” the other party asked skeptically.
“Why don’t we get some nuclear weapons from Y Country and launch a sneak attack at close range?” Su Ge’s eyes glinted coldly as he said, “If we catch him off guard, he won’t have time to activate his divine runes. He’ll definitely die relying on his physical body alone.”
“Hmm, we can try. Contact Brother Yitu. The three of us will personally make a trip to Y Country.”
“No, you contact him. You know I don’t get along with him.”
“Alright. I’ll hang up first.”
After the call ended, Su Ge said with a sneer, “Gu Changqing, you asked for this.”
Then, Su Ge said to his secretary, “Go. Pass down the order according to Gu Changqing’s words.”
“Yes, Boss,” the secretary said before leaving.
…
At the same time, almost all of the Divine Runemasters in the country wore gloomy expressions on their faces. Now that Gu Changqing stopped them from making money, they really wanted to skin Gu Changqing alive.
