1791 A Better Successor
âYour targetâs been Yun Feidian from the very beginning, not me.â
When he saw Lu Zhongqiâs calm but profound expression, Meng Chaoâs mind raced, and he came to a sudden realization. âYou killed him to silence him?â
âThatâs right. We canât kill you, and thereâs no point in killing you. We canât escape from the inescapable net that youâve set up. Our futile struggle will only cause unnecessary damage to Dragon City.â
Lu Zhongqi smiled and added, âBut Yun Feidian is different from you. He knows too much.â
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. âYouâre afraid that heâll reveal the Blood Allianceâs secrets once we capture him alive?â
âHe will.â
Lu Zhongqi sighed. âYun Feidian might have been the most brilliant miracle in Dragon City in the past twenty years aside from you. If our plan had succeeded, I have no doubt that he wouldâve been able to lead the Blood Alliance, which has been reborn from the ashes, to grow and prosper. He wouldâve become the most powerful catalyst for the triumphant progress of Dragon Cityâs civilization. He wouldâve also become a great leader whose name would be recorded in history.
âHowever, Meng Chao, the biggest difference between you and Yun Feidian is that he was born in a family of cultivators, and his parents are both important people. He lived a life of luxury with unlimited resources since he was a child. Ever since he first entered the business world and stood out, everything had been smooth sailing for him. He had never encountered any setbacks, pain, failures, or hardships.
âOver the past decades, he had gotten used to moving from one victory to another. He was used to having everything under his control. He was used to crushing all of his opponents and resolving all of his troubles with his advantageous resources. But he never got used to persevering and rising again from utter failures.
âI was worried that such a leader, whoâs used to winning easy battles, would collapse in the blink of an eye after an unprecedented failure and sell all of the Blood Allianceâs secrets in desperation.
âNote that although the Blood Alliance has failed for the time being, our strength has not been completely exposed. A lot of people who support and sympathize with the Blood Alliance are still lurking in various sectors of Dragon City. In the future, when the time is right, the Blood Alliance can still change its appearance and make a comeback.
âI believe that as Dragon City explores and conquers more of the Other World, and the various conflicts become increasingly intense, the day for the Blood Alliance to reappear will not be too far away.â
Meng Chaoâs pupils shrank to the size of two needle tips.
His line of sight went through the raised grave between the two of them, to Yun Feidianâs broken bones, twisted limbs, and internal organs that were filled with lava.
Even a Deity Realm expert could not retain even one billionth of his life force in such a state.
Meng Chao sighed softly.
He had to admit that Lu Zhongqi had made the best call for the Blood Alliance.
Yun Feidian had fallen into the depths of hell with all his secrets.
Meanwhile, the countdown for Lu Zhongqiâs life had also begun.
The old senior, who was at least extremely tough, would never reveal any of the Blood Allianceâs secrets before he died.
The Blood Alliance had failed, but it had not suffered a destructive blow.
It was just like a nine-headed snake with two of its heads cut off. It needed to hide in the dark and lick its wounds for a while.
âCough cough, cough cough cough cough!â
Lu Zhongqi spat out a large mouthful of blood, and there were many suspicious blood clots amid the dark plasma.
A moment ago, his destructive aura had disappeared without a trace. Now, he looked like a paper figurine that was burning from the inside and would turn into ash at any time.
âHehe, my journey has already come to an end. Next, only you can walk the path of Dragon Cityâs civilization.â
Lu Zhongqi looked at the blood clots in front of him, and a mysterious smile appeared on his pale face. âThe youngest Deity Realm warrior in Dragon City has returned in glory and turned the tide. He single-handedly defeated first- and second-generation Deity Realm warriors deep underground. Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a miracle is unprecedented!â
Meng Chao frowned slightly.
He understood what Lu Zhongqi meant.
Lu Zhongqi and Yun Feidian had pretty much suffered heavy losses, and they were going to die together.
However, to calm the peopleâs hearts and maintain financial order after the chaos, the relevant parties would definitely make necessary âmodificationsâ to this battleâs tale.
Meng Chao was destined to be packaged as a superhero who saved Dragon City and a superstar who would create the future!
He just did not understand why Lu Zhongqi would give him such a âbig giftâ for no reason.
He had destroyed the plan that he had painstakingly worked on for decades, forcing him to personally get rid of his carefully-selected successor. Should he not hate him to the bone?
âAre you wondering why I gave you such an earth-shattering battle achievement for no reason?â
Lu Zhongqi was becoming more and more withered, but his eyes were shining as if his two eyeballs had sucked the vitality of all the cells in his body.
He coughed lightly and said with a faint smile, âNo, it wonât be long before you understand that this is not a gift but a curse.
âMeng Chao, you were born into a poor family, and you had many fortuitous encounters. Now, youâve made great contributions to the world. You might be the only person in Dragon City who has the ability to balance the nine mega corporations, the Azure Alliance, and the Red Dragon Army.
âYou will stand in front of the Dragon City civilizationâs rudder, as it cuts through the waves, controlling its direction.
âTrust me. When youâre actually standing at the front of the giant warship that carries all the desires and hopes of millions of human beings, when you are responsible for the food, clothing, housing, happiness, anger, and sorrow, birth, aging, illness, and death of millions of human beings, you will soon have to face the difficult choices that the members of the Blood Alliance have had to face in the past decades.
âIâm looking forward to it. Iâm really looking forward to what kind of choice you will make in the near future when you are faced with the unsolvable problems that have troubled me for a lifetime.
âPerhaps, hehe, Yun Feidian is not the most suitable successor for the Blood Alliance.
âYou, Meng Chao⊠arenât you the one whoâs destined to bring the Blood Alliance to greater heights?â
Lu Zhongqi laughed hoarsely.
His laughter was reminiscent of a crow flying in the depths of hell, flapping its wings rapidly.
Meng Chao raised an eyebrow.
He felt that Lu Zhongqi had gone crazy.
âI know you must think that Iâve gone crazyâŠâ
Lu Zhongqi read Meng Chaoâs thoughts from his expression, but his twisted smile did not change at all. âJust like how I thought that the first leader of the Blood Alliance was completely crazy when I stood in front of him years ago.
âWhat Iâve told you today is exactly what the first leader of the Blood Alliance told me.
âAt that time, I was just the same as you are today. I scoffed at him and ignored him.
âItâs okay, time will prove everything. Time flies.â
