Chapter 585: Adapt to the Situation

‘I see.” “Meng Chao”‘s smile grew even stranger. “That’s all?”

“There’s also her personality,” Su Lun answered smugly. “Since Meng Chao, Lu Siya, and Shen Yupeng are the most outstanding young talents in Dragon City and the most difficult enemies to deal with, I’ve examined their personalities before. I have a full grasp of their way of doing things and their weaknesses.

“Lu Siya stated that Meng Chao is a person who focuses on offense and would rather injure himself to make sure that he has the initiative firmly in his hands.

“In truth, Lu Siya is also the same, since people are always attracted to those who are the same as them.

“In the circle of the rich, Lu Siya is famous for being ambitious and doing anything to achieve her goals. To a certain extent, she is even more terrifying than Meng Chao. After all, Meng Chao’s cunning and deviousness is limited to only battlefields, while Lu Siya’s ambitions and methods can be used in many areas, including the business field.

“Look at the past two years. The things she did to help her father climb up the seat of authority shows that she deserves the title of the Queen Bee.

“And with her father’s Sky Pillar Minerals supporting her, over the past half a year, she gathered more forces and caused more trouble. She couldn’t be stopped.

“Would the first thought of such an ambitious woman be to cast her closest comrade aside for her own survival after she heard that he betrayed Dragon City?

“A normal person might make that decision and cut off all ties with Meng Chao.

“But Queen Bee Lu Siya is definitely not that conservative.

“Besides, if she did that, she would be left with a fatal problem. Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, a lot of gang members, and I would know the truth about the matter. Even if she managed to hide the past for a time, there is no secret that will remain hidden forever. Sooner or later, the news would definitely travel out, and those with ulterior motives would use it as blackmail against Lu Siya.

“From my understanding, she has a great desire for power. Even Sky Pillar Corporation might be unable to satisfy her appetite. So would she allow such a major piece of blackmail to end up in the hands of gang members before she reached the heights of her ambition?

“Based on these two things, I deduced that Lu Siya did not believe that Meng Chao betrayed Dragon City.

“The reason why she entered the lair was to personally investigate the matter. As long as there was a slight suspicious point about this and the slightest hope to save him, she would do everything she could and protect Meng Chao regardless of the cost!”

“No wonder…” “Meng Chao” nodded in a contemplative manner. He cast a glance at the crystal saber on the floor. “It’s no wonder you could see through their trap.”

“If I couldn’t see through such a lousy trap, I’d deserve to be captured by them.” Su Lun smiled. “I know that there are plenty of crystal weapons with certain requirements for the user’s cultivation realm. Basically, the higher the grade of the crystals and monster materials, the stronger spirit energy the weapon would contain. This means higher requirements for the user’s cultivation realm.

“Many good weapons require the user to be at Heaven Realm or Deity Realm to use them.

“If one’s cultivation realm is not high enough and they activate their vitality magnetic fields to control the weapon, they will be like three-year-olds playing with sabers and injure themselves.

“Lu Siya thought that she was in a two-man act with the real Meng Chao, and her goal was simple. An offensive spirit energy magnetic field that cannot be activated by low-grade superhumans was sealed in this crystal saber.

“If I could brandish this crystal saber and activate a sharp saber glare, it would mean that my cultivation realm is far higher than that of a helpless military adviser of the lair.

“If that was the case, Lu Siya would believe that I was hiding my strength and am a traitor with evil intentions.

“But she didn’t expect that I wouldn’t fall for it. I only used thirty percent of my spirit energy to activate the crystal saber, and just as I expected, not only did I not activate the offensive spirit energy magnetic field sealed inside, I even suffered a backlash from the saber, which further proved the ‘truth’ that I only had average fighting strength.

“Lu Siya believed Meng Chao’s words from the start, so she didn’t expect me to be this weak.

“You should really have seen her dumbfounded expression just now. It was really exciting. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to see it again.”

He shrugged and could not hold back a chuckle.

“Not bad. These two idiots thought that they could use their wits and luck to have a smooth life and resolve all dangers just because they solved the Raging Waves battle, the Blessed Paradise Murderous Pets Case, and the ambush at Noble Descent Hotel. How foolish!” “Meng Chao” laughed savagely and suddenly looked at Su Lun coldly.

“But you’re a fool as well. Aren’t you worried that the two bastards will fly off into a rage and kill you as well, then destroy all evidence even if they didn’t have any proof that you were the traitor?”

Su Lun shuddered because of “Meng Chao’”s fierce gaze. He quickly said, “They wouldn’t. I could tell that the two bastards were putting on a two-man act from the start, which was why I was about to leave. But right then, I noticed that you weren’t the real Meng Chao, so I appeared to join your plan!”

“Oh?” “Meng Chao” frowned and asked darkly, “Was there a flaw in my disguise?”

“No. Your disguise is naturally flawless. But there are flames and smoke everywhere, so the temperature here is really high. That’s why…” Su Lun explained hurriedly.

“Meng Chao” understood.

He lifted a finger and swiped his face gently. A clump of semi-transparent adhesive liquid was left on his finger, and he rubbed it between his fingers.

“Heh…” He laughed in a ghastly manner. “We’re lucky that fool of a woman didn’t know about it.”

“Indeed. It doesn’t matter how smart the Queen Bee is, she would have never even dreamed that the person who was putting on a two-man act with her was you.” Su Lun smiled. “And it’s also clear why you would pretend to be Meng Chao and stay beside Lu Siya. Whatever her real goal for entering the lair, she still represented the outside world, the nine great mega corporations, and the Survival Committee’s stance on the matter.

“If Lu Siya was also assassinated by Meng Chao, the communication bridge between the outside world and the lair would be completely broken, and no one could stop the chaos that is about to happen.

“Speaking of which, Lu Siya is a Spirit Sensor, and she is very familiar with Meng Chao. It couldn’t have been easy for you to have deceived her, especially when you couldn’t reveal even a single bit of killing intent. Otherwise, all your efforts would have been in vain, and she would even know that someone is pretending to be Meng Chao.

“That’s why I appeared to divert Lu Siya’s attention and help you. I hope that it didn’t disrupt your overall plan.”

Su Lun lowered his head, as if he was respectful, but in truth, he was feeling really pleased with himself.

“You did well. If you didn’t attract her attention, I wouldn’t have been able to kill that stupid woman so easily.” “Meng Chao” smiled and continued, “Aside from Lu Siya, how are the preparations on your side?”

“I’m done preparing everything. All I need now is a catalyst,” Su Lun said. “Aside from Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, I’ve already gathered all the higher management members of the gangs in the VIP room. It’s located at the highest point of the audience seat in Mutual Gold Coliseum.

“Right now, the coliseum’s underground layer is on fire. The flames, heatwaves, and smoke naturally move up. Before long, the audience seat and VIP room will be shrouded by smog.

“To ensure everyone’s safety, the VIP room where the gang leaders are has activated internal air circulation. The air they breathe is provided by the ventilation pipes, which are, of course, controlled by me. They will breathe in whatever gas I want them to breathe in.

“The former Reaper Squad members of Group 1, who are ready to take Deification Capsules to increase their fighting strength by several degrees, are already in position. Once those gang leaders notice that they’re poisoned and have inhaled a lot of powerful anesthetic gas, they will circulate their spirit energy to detox. Meanwhile, our people will rush in and kill them all.

“Our people are also situated in the squads surrounding Leprosy Village. As long as the smallest sparks appear between the villagers and the gang members, I’m confident that I can make the entire situation explode.

“Once the gangs are without their leaders and the villagers start charging out, it won’t be hard for me to turn the entire lair into a sea of fire, since I have the highest command over the armed forces for the time being.

“And once the few hundred thousand people in the lair and the areas around it are badly burned, once their eyes, skin, throat, trachea are scorched, damaged, and infected, their immune systems will be on the verge of breakdown. At that time, the zombie virus, Blood Flower spores, and Deification Capsules will reveal their terrifying destructive abilities. The vortex of chaos will spread from the lair to the whole of Dragon City!”

The terrifying situation that Su Lun described made “Meng Chao” fall silent for a long time.

He sucked in a deep breath, and his savagery as well as cold presence suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He looked a little terrified, as if this was the first time he heard about the plan. He clicked his tongue. “Seriously… You’re going to destroy everything and kill the children too, huh?”

Su Lun’s smile froze.

“Wh-What did you say?”

He suddenly found that there was something off about the situation.

‘Wait…’

Su Lun’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needles as he turned to the smoke-shrouded corner.

He heard rustling from the broken wall. Suddenly, the stones and reinforced concrete gathered together as if controlled by some mysterious force. They turned into dozens of agile stone snakes.

The dozens of stone snakes were like dozens of arms that dragged something out of the debris, and then, they intersected with each other to form an aggressive-looking throne.

Lu Siya sat on the throne, even though she had a hole in her chest plate and should have died a long time ago. She stared at Su Lun with great interest.

“Red Brows Su Lun…” Lu Siya said with a smile. “You should take a piss and look at your own reflection right now. You might never again see such a good expression if you don’t look at yourself now.”
