Meng Chao nodded. “I understand.”

Shen Yuanbao asked, “What do you understand?”

“I understand that your enemies are all over Dragon City, Senior Shen.”

Meng Chao said, “Anyone could be the mastermind behind the attempted assassination on you.”

…

Shen Yuanbiao was efficient.

That night, he invited a group of media outlets that had a good relationship with Universe Corporation in his name and held a small-scale briefing.

Since the assassination attempt on Shen Yuanbao had already caused a storm in the city, Shen Yuanbiao did not need to hide anymore.

He openly admitted that the leader of Universe Corporation had indeed suffered a soul-stirring attempt on his life, and his injuries were not light.

As for the mastermind behind this world-shaking assassination, of course, he could not say that it was Shen Yuanbao’s former enemy or some unworthy descendant of the Shen family who had tried to usurp his power.

Shen Yuanbiao blamed all the crimes on the monster civilization.

“Although the monster civilization has been completely destroyed by the Dragon City civilization, some of the strange and secretive monsters have infiltrated Dragon City.”

Shen Yuanbiao told the reporters, “These monsters are no less intelligent than humans. They can change their appearance as they wish, and they also understand human language. They can even control the minds of humans through brain wave transmission.

“The Supernatural Entity that Meng Chao exposed and dealt with in the past was one of the best.

“The Supernatural Entity, Vortex, had the ability to mimic the appearance of humans and disguise as anyone.

“The Supernatural Entity, Earthquake, was a creature that had been mutated by a human scientist who implanted his consciousness into the body of a monster.

“Although they were all eliminated by Meng Chao, who can guarantee that there are no more Supernatural Entities or even existences that surpass them, in the midst of the crowd, corroding a large number of humans and turning them into ‘monster puppets’?

“As for the monster puppets’ purpose in assassinating my big brother, there’s no need to say more—who asked my big brother to take the lead and be fearless of death? He was willing to die for the sake of the Dragon City civilization. He was the first Deity Realm warrior to charge into the ultimate lair of the monster civilization and fight to the death with the monster mastermind!

“My big brother is deserving of his hero status in Dragon City. What else could make the monsters happier than letting such a hero die and suffer unjustified blame?”

Shen Yuanbiao’s logic could be justified.

Moreover, Meng Chao was highly suspicious of the claim that the nine Supernatural Entities were not all dead.

In other words, besides the nine Supernatural Entities, there were also the tenth and even the eleventh entities.

After all, in his apocalyptic nightmare, the monster civilization had evolved into many new types of monsters.

Compared with the traditional monsters such as the Demonic Halberd Pig, the Tyrant Mammoth, and the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragon, which were skilled at head-on combat on the battlefield, the new monsters were much stronger.

The individual combat abilities of these new monsters were often not worth mentioning.

Their appearance resembled that of a translucent earthworm or a slug, or a harmless little flower bud.

Even a One-star Superhuman at the Spirit Tattoo Realm could trample such a creature to death with one step if he poured spirit energy into the soles of his feet.

However, once such a new type of monster invaded the spine and the back of a human’s head, it would be able to completely control the human and turn him into its “flesh and blood machine.”

Although the direction of the Monster War had undergone a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree change because of Meng Chao’s rebirth, it was still possible that the new type of monster had already appeared.

Judging from everything that Meng Chao had experienced in his apocalyptic nightmare, when the monster civilization was destroyed more than a year ago, part of the new type of monsters should have already appeared. At the very least, they were already in the process of being nurtured.

Otherwise, how could Lu Siya explain it?

Meng Chao’s former closest comrade must have been eroded and controlled by the new monsters. As a result, she turned into a wild banshee that was beyond recognition.

Perhaps, the current Lu Siya was the tenth Supernatural Entity!

If that was the case, Meng Chao did not think that she would let go of the great opportunity to utilize the Blood Alliance to stir up trouble.

The attempt on Shen Yuanbao’s life had set off a chain reaction that put Dragon City in a precarious state. That was the only way the secretive tenth Supernatural Entity and new type of monsters could find more opportunities to penetrate deeper into human society.

From this perspective, one could say that Shen Yuanbiao pretty much hit the nail on the head and revealed part of the truth.

Next, Shen Yuanbiao also told the reporters that his big brother had been heavily injured in the deadly battle with the monster remnants and fallen into a coma for a long time, hence he had almost been unable to deal with any matters.

However, during the short period of time when he was awake, he held his hand and asked him to tell the outside world that Universe Corporation had always adhered to the principle of “openness and transparency.” He was willing to do anything, and he felt responsible for all his shareholders and consumers.

He had also learned that there were problems with several key projects that the corporation was carrying out, and he was in a hurry to return to the headquarters. That was when the monster remnants attacked him.

Since he could no longer handle the corporation’s affairs, he begged the outside world to establish a fair, impartial, transparent, and professional third-party team to exercise the responsibility of external supervision. They should thoroughly investigate the cause and effect of the Red Creek Project’s big explosion.

Not only that, but Shen Yuanbao also suggested that the attempt on his life was just a small test from the monster remnants. After that, the monster remnants would certainly launch an extremely sinister and fierce attack on the major forces of Dragon City.

It was possible that the humans controlled by the monsters had already invaded the nine mega corporations.

All the mega corporations and cultivation families were in danger.

Therefore, Shen Yuanbao proposed that the third party should be as large as possible and have as high an authority as possible. Aside from investigating the truth behind the Red Creek Project’s explosion, they should also help the other eight mega corporations, and check all kinds of risks as well as hidden dangers. They needed to dig out the monsters that were dressed in human skin!

The proposal stunned the seasoned reporters.

Even though the briefing was done during Shen Yuanbiao’s private dinner, the news at the banquet spread throughout Dragon City in just half an hour, setting off a storm of public opinion.

It was the first time that many ordinary citizens had heard about the existence of the “monster remnants.”

When they thought about the mysterious tenth Supernatural Entity and the monsters under it that were wearing human skin, it was likely that the monsters were lurking around them. The citizens could not help but be alarmed.

While the conflict between humans and monsters had surfaced again, the conflict between humans had naturally lessened a lot.

Shen Yuanbao had been the first to charge into the monster civilization’s final lair and fight to the death with the monster civilization’s mastermind because he was simply ferocious in battle. In return, the monster remnants were targeting and ruthlessly retaliating against him.

Such a “truth” also made Shen Yuanbao’s image in the eyes of the ordinary citizens much more majestic.

Shen Yuanbao even took the initiative to suggest that he would bring in a third-party team to investigate the Red Creek Project. That made it more apparent that he had a clear conscience and did not suffer any losses!
