Chapter 368: 368

Meng Chao felt that Lu Siya was actually pretty decent, aside from the fact that she was ruthless, blind to everything besides profit, ambitious, and would do anything to achieve her goals .

He thanked her for her kind reminder, but he did not intend to change his methods .

But because of this, he did beat around the bush when he asked Ye Xiaoxing about the abnormal beast research department’s attitude toward his actions .

“Attitude?” Ye Xiaoxing looked at him strangely . “You’re not an official investigator of the abnormal beast research department . We’ve never signed any contract hiring you or asking for your service . Your records are with Agricultural University, not the research department . Should I have any opinions toward your actions?

“As for Zhao Feixuan, he can’t even be considered as a suspect . We don’t think that he’s the mastermind who bewitched Lin Chuan and Gao Ye . We just want to find some clues from him . It’s fine if you’re friends with him .

“If I must say something, then I’ll say that the abnormal beast research department is only in charge of capturing abnormal beasts . Hoarding or attacking hoarders has nothing to do with us . As long as you’re certain you’re not bewitched by abnormal beasts, no matter what you do and what friends you make, we won’t be able to interfere with it .

“By the way, how goes your training of the martial arts given by the anonymous donor? There’s a cultivation room next door . Why don’t we go and spar? When the anonymous donor sees our sparring video, the donor can provide you with some remote advice .

“Also, the Broken Star Club has caused quite a stir recently . It should attract more members . If you run into any problems, you can mention them . The anonymous donor is very satisfied with the Broken Star Club’s growth in this short half a year . The donor is also pleasantly surprised by your abilities and potential . ”

This meant that the donor supported the collaboration between the Broken Star Club and Blue Home .

Meng Chao found it interesting .

The Broken Star Club and Blue Home had recently led the public opinion, which created a storm, and their target was the nine great mega corporations, with their main target being Thundercloud Corporation . This meant that Meng Chao was infringing on the interests of the nine great mega corporations and the peerless elites behind them .

Based on Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi’s analysis, the mysterious person who supported the Broken Star Club unconditionally was a matchless fighter ranked at the top five in Dragon City .

Yet this unparalleled fighter was not affiliated to the nine great mega corporations and the nine great cultivation families behind them . Just who was he?

But before Meng Chao could think about this problem, Zhao Feixuan extended him a new invitation .

It was an old movie viewing hosted by Blue Home .

Meng Chao had participated in a few similar activities, but had never found anything valuable .

Yet the location for the event caused his heart to freeze .

Dragon Tiger Bridge No . 31 .

It was an important location for Blue Home, since Lin Chuan and Gao Ye had both appeared there before .

By the looks of it, after the “fight” to expose the act of mega corporations hoarding cultivation resources, Zhao Feixuan chose to treat Meng Chao as a trustworthy “comrade” and decided to invite him into the core circle of Blue Home .

Meng Chao did not dare to be inattentive toward this matter . He arrived half an hour ahead of the time stated on the invitation card .

But he seemed to be overthinking things . The place did not give off a dangerous aura as if it was controlled by abnormal beasts .

It was just a simple club salon with Earth relics that had an ancient beauty . There was also a small projection hall in it .

There were already quite a number of Blue Home members gathered in small groups . They spoke to each other about the flaws of their society .

Meng Chao found them quite familiar .

They were probably the elites of their respective fields, specialists from certain areas, heroes with a lot of outstanding war achievements, and people whose photos often appeared on the news and forums .

Based on the spirit energy circulating faintly around them and their burning vitality magnetic fields, they were superhumans with great strength . Quite a number of them were already at Heaven Realm .

Meng Chao was very careful . He did not carry any recording or transmission devices . He just opened his ears and remembered the discussions of the core members of Blue Home .

There were three refined middle-aged men standing under a huge globe of Earth to the left of the hall . Their faces were red as they spoke loudly .

“…the hoarded items we found at Thundercloud Corporation are just the tip of the iceberg . The nine great mega corporations and the nine great cultivation families behind them as well as the outstanding Deity Realm elites have all privately collected resources that are worth astronomical figures . None of them regard the law the Survival Committee set with any importance . ”

“That’s right . The heroes who protected Dragon City in the past have all turned into selfish coots . Those Deity Realm elites might have declared that they fight for Dragon City, Earth, and humans and rushed to the monster hordes regardless of their safety, but now, even if they’re still willing to pick up their weapons, it’s only to fight for their families and businesses!”

“The Survival Committee actually said that they will investigate this matter to the end… What a joke! The Survival Committee was built by the nine great mega corporations . Right now, more than half of the politicians are from the nine great mega corporations . The remaining half are connected to the nine great mega corporations .

“Asking the Survival Committee to investigate the problem of the nine great mega corporations storing resources privately is the same as the same person being the referee and the player . They’re just investigating themselves . ”

Meng Chao blinked . He then shifted his attention to the right of the hall . There was a painting of a torrential river on the wall, and two old men who looked like teachers standing next to it . Though their hair was white, they were still very high-spirited .

“I thought that as time passed, the Survival Committee would gradually gain supreme might and control the nine great mega corporations as well as the peerless fighters behind them . I didn’t expect that the nine great mega corporations would use the Survival Committee as a shield to grow into invincible giants . Those Deity Realm elites who stand above us have gradually come to surpass humans, and they’re now existences that no one can keep in check . ”

“Honestly, this is something we should have guessed . Thirty years ago, the peerless fighters behind the nine great mega corporations were intimidated by Battle God Lei Zongchao’s absolute might . They faced the tragic reality that if they continued fighting against each other, they would all end up dead . That’s why they had to form an alliance and build the Survival Committee .

“Even though the peerless fighters are controlled by the Survival Committee in name, they have money, guns, resources, and good armor with all sorts of advanced equipment . The most crucial thing is that all of the peerless fighters continue reaching breakthroughs and have to use large amounts of resources . They aim to stand above all else, so there is no way that they will just accept the Survival Committee and all Dragon Citizens standing above them .

“Ah, but over the past few years, Battle God Lei Zongchao’s body has gotten weaker . ”

“That’s right . As the pioneer of the superhumans, Lei Zongchao was the first to try all sorts of amazing martial arts that were dangerous and had great side effects . Even though he has become invincible, he faces all sorts of complications . When he was young, he could suppress the effects somewhat, but as time passed, he kept on getting attacked . He… must be nearing the end of his life . ”

“Speaking of which, Battle God Lei Zongchao is really the model superhuman . He never built his own business or family . He doesn’t have a single child, either . He devoted his whole life to Dragon City . If it weren’t for the fact that his body is no longer as great as before, those who lost to him in the past wouldn’t be acting so conceited now, even if they’re the masters of the nine great mega corporations . ”

Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and headed deep into the hall .

He saw a few handsome young adults in another corner . They were dressed in the military uniforms from Earth, and on their wide-brimmed hats were the emblems of skulls . They also wore a red armbands with a “卍” sewn on it .

Meng Chao knew that it was the symbol of good luck among many religions on Earth .

The young adults spoke excitedly,

“If we think about Earth’s history, it’s easy to see that when a community faces a great disaster, a great storm, or there is a need for power to be gathered in one place, a leader, a voice, and a path is needed . Under that leader, everyone will be equal and united . Then, they will be able to face unprecedented change .

“The army usually serves extremely important functions during these great changes to defend their civilization, and it becomes the first power that pushes the civilization forward .

“But Dragon City is in the hands of the nine great mega corporations . The peerless fighters are unwilling to forget their own interests and the interests of their families . The Survival Committee, which is in their hands, is then also unwilling to increase the budget of the Red Dragon Army .

“As long as the army is not the greatest martial power of a civilization, the peerless fighters are able to stand above everyone . They have their own interests and do not wish to unite . With that being the case, forget about conquering the Other World, we won’t even be able to win the Monster War . ”

Meng Chao reached the end of the hall .

‘I knew it . The information from the abnormal beast research department is correct . Perhaps when Blue Home was initially built, the members were just people who loved Earth culture, but now, it has become quite complicated .

‘Lin Chuan and Gao Ye’s mindsets should have been established here .

‘Their ideas cannot be said to be wrong, but if I were an abnormal beast, I would definitely choose to bewitch them . ’

“Meng Chao?” Zhao Feixuan popped up with a smile on his face . He gave Meng Chao a bear hug before he introduced him to the core members of Blue Home .

“Everyone, you must know that Thundercloud Corporation has recently been revealed to have been hoarding resources, right? The reason behind why justice prevailed so soon isn’t just because of Blue Home . The Broken Star Club also helped us!” Zhao Feixuan said loudly .

“This is Leader Meng of the Broken Star Club . I don’t need to give any further introductions to his deeds, but I think that some of you don’t know that Meng Chao is also someone who loves Earth culture . At the same time, he is also very concerned about Dragon City’s future . His penetrating views have allowed me to learn much, so you should try to get closer to Leader Meng!”

Immediately, the graceful middle-aged men standing under Earth’s globe, the high-spirited old men standing under the painting of the river, and the young adults who wore the black military uniforms from Earth and had the “卍” sign on the armbands surrounded them .
