“However, I have to say that old ghostly Shen has played a very good trick. Regardless of whether he planned The Bright Light’s explosion or not, the nine mega corporations are now on the same rope. They must share happiness and adversity together!”

Another Deity Realm fighter from Heaven Pharmaceuticals, Zuo Tianling, solemnly said, “Today, this group of lunatics dares to attack Universe Corporation’s headquarters. Tomorrow, they’ll burn all the businesses that the nine mega corporations have worked hard to build for decades.

“This is something we can’t tolerate!”

Heaven Pharmaceuticals was a company that specialized in researching, producing, and selling gene drugs among the nine mega corporations.

The number of patents and new drugs they received each year was more than the other eight mega corporations combined.

The underground black market incident that had recently happened in the Xinhui Business Center impacted Heaven Pharmaceuticals the most.

As for the other eight mega corporations, they had other main businesses anyway. While this matter was truly out of control, at worst, they could just cut off their wrists and give up their profits from producing and selling gene reagents.

However, in Heaven Pharmaceuticals’ case, if they were to hand over all profits, it would not be a matter of cutting off their wrists, but rather, it would be a matter of cutting off their heads.

Therefore, Heaven Pharmaceuticals was the most worried about the scandal spreading. The dirty tricks within the gene drugs industry would be revealed to the world as a result.

The Bright Light had exploded on the way to investigate the Red Creek Project.

But as the saying went, “when things are not done well, they end up causing other problems.” Who knew how much this matter would implicate them?

The heads of the other mega corporations also had the same worry.

On one hand, they were extremely angry at Shen Yuanbao, a shameless rogue. If he wanted to die, everyone would die together. He had deliberately turned the nine mega corporations into a linked chain.

On the other hand, they were also extremely afraid of the fanatical crowd that the Azure Alliance had incited.

“Those lunatics have the audacity to attack Universe Corporation’s headquarters. They can no longer be considered ordinary citizens. They’re all monster remnants, monsters in human skin!”

Lei Tianming once again punched his fist heavily and spoke with killing intent. “Old Zuo is right. Now is not the time to pursue Old Shen. The nine mega corporations should unite as one against a common enemy and use lightning-like methods to strike down the monster remnants within Dragon City. Then, we can return peace and tranquility to Dragon City!

“I suggest that the nine mega corporations all enter a state of emergency. All our operations outside Monster Mountain Range should be frozen, and we should train in secret bases. The forces prepared for the North Advancement Plan should be mobilized immediately. All armored airships should be filled with fuel and ammunition so that they can be ready to fly at any time.

“If those monster remnants are brave enough to break into Universe Corporation’s headquarters again and wreak havoc, our troops must be able to appear around the headquarters by air within half an hour. They’ll have to maintain order in Dragon City with their burning fists!”

“That’s right. Supreme order is worth sacrificing everything to defend!”

Zuo Tianling gnashed her teeth as well and said, “In the past decades, we superhumans have gone through hell and suffered a lot. They don’t know what terrible price we paid to win the Monster War and build Dragon City into the tranquil and peaceful appearance it is today.

“It is thanks to our efforts that ordinary people can live and work in peace without worry.

“Every sane ordinary person should be filled with gratitude toward the superhumans. They should also have a high degree of trust in our moral character and professional ethics. They should know that only under the rule of superhumans will Dragon City have a bright future!

“Superhumans are the sabers of the human civilization! Anyone who dares to question or even attack this saber is either an enemy or a puppet that’s bewitched and controlled by the enemy. There is no third answer!

“For long-term peace and stability in Dragon City, we have to catch all the monsters that have sneaked into the crowd and make an example of them. It’s the only way we can intimidate those who are still lurking in the darkness and ready to make a move!”

Lei Tianming and Zuo Tianling sounded like half-siblings.

The two of them shared the same sentiment. They had indeed fought side by side in the past and were comrades who had been through life-and-death situations together.

In the face of The Bright Light’s explosion and the farce at the entrance of Universe Corporation’s headquarters, their way of dealing with it was the same as before.

In a word, their words cut through the mess quickly!

Such a swift and decisive attitude triggered the discussions of the other warriors.

They naturally did not doubt the strength of their own side.

They were only worried that if the conflict escalated, they would not know how things would end.

“We were tricked by the monster mastermind!”

Someone lamented, “Now that I think about it, a year and a half ago, a lot of things in the battle to attack the monster civilization’s ultimate lair didn’t add up—our progress was too smooth, so smooth that it was as if we had stepped into a trap.

“You have to know that back then, although the monster civilization had changed from an offensive to defensive strategy, the overwhelming monster horde still wreaked havoc in the wilderness and jungle. If they were determined to fight us to the end, the monster civilization could still launch a few counterattacks.

“However, after the monster mastermind was at a slight disadvantage, it seemed to realize that its destruction was inevitable. In the end, it surrendered immediately.

“The monster horde that was active in the outer area of the Hidden Mist Domain disappeared. Then, the monster civilization’s ultimate lair became an undefended area, attracting the Deity Realm powerhouses who wanted to end the war as soon as possible. They entered the treacherous lair in a “king-to-king”¹ way and engaged in a world-shaking decisive battle with the monster mastermind.

“At that time, we thought that we had paid a great price and finally achieved the most complete victory.

“But now that I think about it, there was something suspicious about it, and there were many loose ends!

“First, we, the Deity Realm fighters, were heavily injured by the monster mastermind in the final battle. Even though we were not as reckless as that old ghost Shen, who ended up in a coma for several months, the hidden injuries that we sustained in the bloody battle for dozens of years still hurt us greatly!

“Note that we were the ‘Divine Ocean-pacifying Rods’¹ that were originally used to maintain order in Dragon City.

“Now, the monster mastermind has blasted all the ‘Divine Ocean-pacifying Rods’ into crisscrossing cracks, and we are about to fall apart. How can those with ulterior motives not be tempted to make a move?
