Chapter 639: Take It up as Your Responsibility!
ng Chao sank into deep thought after Lu Siya’s words.
Even though he was already the owner of Superstar, the club leader of Broken Star Club, a director of Blue Ho, and was a lucky child who rose to power in the eyes of the normal people, if he wanted to prevent Dragon City’s destruction, this bit of power was far from enough!
Superstar had already reached a bottleneck in its developnt. If he wanted to develop it further, he had to steal from the bowls of the nine ga corporations.
Broken Star Club and Blue Ho were both civil social organizations. Their mbers might often work together, open up a lot of channels and business links, and voice their opinions in the Survival Committee, but they still lacked sothing that would allow them to reach a breakthrough and tie everyone’s interests together.
If he could use his status as the gang leader of Golden Tooth and influence the lair so that the resources inside it could blend together with all the resources by his side, wouldn’t he create a powerful, matchless force?
Broken Star Club, Superstar, Blue Ho, and the lair...
All of them in his hands might really provide him with a promising future.
But ng Chao could not understand it. “Big Sis Ya, how are you going to benefit from this situation?”
“Of course I will.” Lu Siya smiled. “There are plenty of slums in Dragon City’s main area, and they’re all represented by the lair. These chaotic places are filled with good and bad people. It’s not because of us having low morals, not because of the ga corporations letting them go unchecked, and certainly not because of Jin Wanhao, Xiong Wei, and the others’ ambition that they have existed for decades.
“There’s only one reason why they continue to exist, and it’s that Dragon City lacks space and resources. It can’t provide enough living space and work opportunities for its people. That’s all there is to it.
“If we don’t get rid of the root problem, then even if we have a saint who has flawless morals and is filthy rich beco the master of the lair, the lair will still be as it is now.
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t suggest for you to beco the gang leader of Golden Tooth and even the master of the lair so that you’d have to manage this ss.
“But tis have changed.
“Ever since we won the northern offensive and gained other victories, we switched to tactical counter offensive tactics, and more than ten new developing areas are now under construction simultaneously. We’ve created a lot of new job opportunities, and as long as we win the pitch battle at the borders of Dragon City, the monster civilization will crumble. The originally dangerous and mysterious lands will beco a paradise for humans to roam as we please!
“Think about it, ng Chao. How many brand new job opportunities will this create and how much wealth will it generate?
“I won’t talk about anything else, but at the very least, the commuter towns that are currently being developed in the wild will produce a large batch of cheap apartnts. If we move so of the people from our overpopulated city over there and connect these cities to the main city with high-speed railways, we’ll have hope, right?
“In the past, the lair was a negative asset, but in the future, there might be a lot of job opportunities. If the lair citizens go out to work, they will earn money with their blood, sweat, and tears, and this wealth will be generated endlessly. We will then completely solve this long-lasting problem that can only survive through gray industries.
“Besides, through Blue Ho, you can have so politicians loudly advocate the importance of modifying the old city areas. There’s a high chance that this will lead to a full modification of the lairs. They might even be completely demolished and rebuilt.
“The geographical location of the lairs is really good. They’re located in the golden area at the center of Dragon City. The profit of demolishing and rebuilding the lairs will be astronomical. If this profit is exchanged for cultivation resources, it’ll help us reach the peak of Heaven Realm and even Deity Realm!”
ng Chao was a little dazed.
His soul was sucked in by the sparkles in Lu Siya’s eyes.
ng Chao licked his dry lips and said, “But you just ntioned that the reason why the nine ga corporations will support is because of my relative independence. This ans that I can’t be bound too tightly to Sky Pillar Corporation.”
“It’s not Sky Pillar Corporation, but and the businesses under my na.” Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. “Right from the start, I’ve repeatedly made myself clear that Sky Pillar Corporation is Sky Pillar Corporation, and I am . I won’t wait for decades or even one hundred years for my grandfather and father to enjoy the feeling of having power in their hands before going up there to nibble at the scraps they left behind.
“Besides, a single Sky Pillar Corporation isn’t worthy of fighting for it for the rest of my life!”
ng Chao finally understood. “You want to split up from them?”
“Well, things haven’t progressed to the point where it’s so bad that I want to split from them,” Lu Siya said with a smile. “But if we work together and really manage to take down the entire lair as well as seize the tides of revolution, the lair that we control will beco the tenth force next to the nine ga corporations. And it might even beco the strongest force. Who knows? We might be the ones calling the shots in the future in Dragon City.”
ng Chao stared deeply at Lu Siya.
He was tempted.
A’Ji cleared his throat by the side.
“Hey, the atmosphere doesn’t feel quite right. Should I go and give so space to you two?” the experienced Leprosy Village boy asked considerately.
“Don’t be in such a hurry to go, A’Ji. You’re going to benefit from this situation too,” Lu Siya turned her head to him.
“You two were really excited just now and even made arrangents for all of Dragon City. What benefits could I get from it?” A’Ji stuck up his thumb and pointed at his nose.
“Your original plan is to cut all ties with Golden Tooth. That is indeed the safest thod, but don’t you think it’s too much of a waste?” Lu Siya said. “No matter what, Golden Tooth has been the strongest gang in the lair for decades. Even if it has beco weaker now, it’s still stronger than plenty of other gangs.
“If you help ng Chao get firm control of Golden Tooth and the entire lair, you will enjoy the benefits of being the master of the lair but also avoid all the dangers and troubles of being Jin Wanhao.”
A’Ji was slightly stunned. Then, his eyes shone.
“That’s right. A’Ji, without you, I definitely won’t be able to beco the gang leader of Golden Tooth,” ng Chao said sincerely. “I’ll stand in the light, while you’ll remain in the shadows. With both of us working together, we’ll soon beco the true masters of the lair. We’ll be even stronger than Jin Wanhao!”
A’Ji thought about it, and he gulped with greed.
He asked hesitantly, “Big Brother Chao, are you serious? I thought that you’re soone who doesn’t care about fa, riches, and power. I didn’t expect that you’re just as ambitious as the Queen Bee!”
“I’m indeed soone who doesn’t care about fa, riches, and power. If possible, I’d like to be like you and have no responsibilities whatsoever so that I could enjoy absolute freedom and live a happy life in the boundless Other World.”
ng Chao extended his right hand and clenched it.
Due to his blood and spirit energy surging through his veins, his skin was slightly red. It looked like he was holding an invisible piece of magma in his grasp, because wisps of white smoke gushed out of it.
“But for the sake of Dragon City’s future, when fa, riches, and power are presented in front of , I will definitely seize them and not let them slip from my fingers!”
...
Above the secret lab was Golden Tooth’s headquarters.
It was one of the tallest buildings in the lair.
If anyone stood at the edge of its anti-aircraft machine gun base on the roof, they could see the entire lair.
After more than ten hours of fighting and killing, the wanted criminals and forr Reaper Squad mbers lurking in the lair were all captured. The explosions that constantly rang out half a day ago were no longer present, and not a single one had been heard for a long ti. The fires on the surface had also been extinguished, including in the important regions such as Leprosy Village.
But flas still raged within the depths of the debris. Smoke caused by incomplete combustion bared their fangs like thousands of deford aquatic dragons in the lair.
These “aquatic dragons” spat out hot and poisonous gases, constantly reminding everyone that the chaos had not ended and might never end.
One battle was nearly at its end, but now, a new battle had quietly started.
This brand new battle caused Song Jinbo’s expression to be extrely grave. He was caught off guard and was extrely anxious because of it.
Once he personally stood at the top of Golden Tooth’s headquarters, he understood what it ant when people said that it was lonely at the top.
And when he faced the aggressive offense from Black Bone, the seemingly sturdy and brilliant building under his feet started swaying and was about to topple over.
“Manager Song, Black Bone is going overboard. In the na of protecting the order of the lair, they just took over three of our tactical resource warehouses. These warehouses have practically not been touched by the fire, and at most, only one-third of them were burned. Now, they’re in the hands of Black Bone, and who knows how many benefits they are going to rake in from it!”
“Big Brother Bo, we just received news. Red Snake lost manpower during the enemy attack and is practically crippled now. It’s impossible for them to rely on their own power to rebuild the gang, so Phantom Bear Xiong Wei took in the remnants of Red Snake without consulting anyone and swallowed its people in one go! This isn’t by the rules! He’ll break the balance between the gangs!”
“Also, just now, we worked together with Black Bone to take down one of the bases that the forr Reaper Squad mbers defended desperately. Xiong Wei used his authority as the highest temporary commander and ordered our n to be the vanguard while Black Bone took advantage of the situation and stayed at the back. We suffered severe losses, and our mbers are filled with resentnt!”
“This is bad! Soone spread rumors saying that our gang leader has been brain dead for a few months and that Golden Tooth, for its own personal benefits, has been hiding the news. That’s why we let a traitor enter our gang, which led to this chaos. Xiong Wei is definitely the one who said this nonsense. No one else but him would say such things!”
“You must think of a solution imdiately! If we continue sitting around passively, Golden Tooth will be destroyed!”
