Chapter 568: Queen Bee

Red Brows Su Lun’s eyes roved about. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s skeleton-like face was so dark that it was like a thundercloud. He did not bother to hide his aversion and displeasure.

He did not like Lu Siya.

Following Saber Jin Wanhao’s dead-like state, Golden Tooth’s reputation was bound to plummet to the ground, and they were no longer Black Bone’s opponent.

People like Red Brows Su Lun were good at earning money, but in their world where the strong ruled and everything operated by the rules of the jungle, management abilities could never compare to simple and crude brute force.

Xiong Wei wanted to rule over the lair, and the biggest problem for him was not Golden Tooth, but Poison Scorpion, who was just as strong as Black Bone.

He had already dealt with Su Lun, and if Black Bone and Golden Tooth applied pressure on Poison Scorpion, Poison Scorpion would be unable to cause a stir.

But Poison Scorpion’s support was Sky Pillar Corporation.

And Lu Siya was the representative of the third generation members in Sky Pillar Corporation. In the future, she might inherit Sky Pillar Corporation and even the Lu family.

How many variables would she add to the situation?

And what was her goal?

Did she come just to support the lair to fight against the monsters, or did she have the same thoughts as Phantom Bear Xiong Wei and wanted to use this crisis to fight against the monsters as well as manage all the power and resources in the lair to give it to Poison Scorpion so that Sky Pillar Corporation could control it?

“Gang Leader Xiong, be careful. This woman is not a simple person,” Su Lun whispered to Xiong Wei. “She might be hailed as the model superhuman by the media and often do voluntary work, give donations, and contribute a lot to Dragon City, but in truth, she’s just spending money to buy popularity. It’s for publicity purposes.

“In reality, this woman is ruthless and ambitious. Her methods and style are very similar to those of her father and grandfather. Among the third generation members of the nine great cultivation families, there are very few people who can win against her, aside from Shen Yupeng and a few other outstanding members.

“That’s why she also gained a nickname among the cultivation families—Queen Bee!

“In the face of the Queen Bee, you must be extra careful. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s young. Otherwise, you’ll be ignorant and know nothing even after you were swallowed whole.”

“Hmph, of course I know just how ruthless Queen Bee Lu Siya is.” Xiong Wei scoffed coldly. “She was able to work together with Meng Chao, and from this alone, I can tell that she’s definitely a cunning person with a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Don’t worry, I know. ”

Both of them headed to Lu Siya.

“Gang Leader Xiong of Black Bone and Vice Gang Leader Su of Golden Tooth?”

Lu Siya was a Spirit Sensor, so her senses were much stronger than those of an average person. Despite the raging smoke, she could see the two people mumbling to each other.

But she ignored it and only spat out a thin, long, poison-laced, and malleable blue needle from her mouth. She used it as a hair stick and gathered her messy hair together to tie it into a casual ponytail.

When the two people arrived in front of her, she said calmly, “Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lu Siya of the abnormal beast research department’s special investigation division. I have just received orders to be the vice captain and communicator for the lair crisis management squad. This is my appointment paper.”

She brought out a piece of paper with more than ten seals on it. Among them were seals from the Survival Committee, Supernatural Tower, the abnormal beast research department, and Dragon City Secret Police.

Su Lun took the document with both hands, scanned it quickly, and handed it to Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei returned it to Lu Siya. He exchanged a glance with Su Lun, and both of them were silent.

“The lair is experiencing a rare crisis, and the explosion that happened in the depths of the lair this morning crippled around twenty Heaven Realm elites in one go. This matter has stirred up a major reaction in the outside world, and they’re paying a lot of attention to it,” Lu Siya said. “However, Dragon City is currently engaged in a pitched battle that will decide its fate, and the battle is going fiercely right now.

“Forget about Heaven Realm superhumans, even the pillars of support for Dragon City are fighting until their spirit energy is drained. Some Deity Realm superhumans have even been forced to retreat from the battlefield. That’s why we can’t send an army or powerful superhumans to support the lair for the time being. This is something that I believe all of you who are defending the lair can understand.

“Of course, even if we asked you to lock down the lair, it doesn’t mean that the outside world isn’t paying attention to the lair.

“Right now, the most crucial problem is that the explosion stirred up a spirit energy turbulence and smoke that covered everything. The lair is facing radio frequency interference, and it’s really hard to transfer information. The outside world doesn’t know what’s going on in the lair right now, and we can’t give you effective, efficient, and timely reinforcements.

“Sending information by word of mouth is too ineffective, so I’ve brought several high level anti-interference communicators with super powerful penetrating abilities from the battlefield at the borders of Dragon City. They’re built for communications in the depths of crystal mines. I hope that we can set up a point-to-point information highway connected to the control center of the crisis management squad outside.

“Also, I brought along a batch of high-grade crystals, gene medicine, and powerful ammunition that can solve your imminent crisis. This will also give the lair some hope and let the citizens here know that the outside world has definitely not abandoned you!”

While Lu Siya spoke, she turned her head around to beckon the reinforcements who crawled out of the destroyed airship. They brought over the high-power crystal communicator and the heavy equipment that were suited for field operations.

Xiong Wei and Su Lun narrowed their eyes and stared at the reinforcements Lu Siya brought with her. They could smell a heavy stench of blood from the reinforcements and a strong murderous presence.

Their hearts froze for a moment. It was obvious that these reinforcements were all trained killing machines who had gone through multiple battles.

They were either the special forces from the Red Dragon Army or the elite professional fighters working in Sky Pillar Corporation.

“When I received the orders, I was fighting at the frontlines at the border of Dragon City. To make sure that I could rush over here as soon as possible, I could only grab the first armored airship I could find and hurry over,” Lu Siya explained, as if she was apologizing for things.

“We were in a hurry, so we couldn’t inform you in time. But we thought that you had to be discussing your battle plans in Mutual Gold Coliseum. This place was huge enough too, so it was suitable for a descent. That’s why we decided to just crash in here. Hahahaha! Thank goodness that the crash was a success and we didn’t fail our mission!”

As Xiong Wei and Su Lun watched Lu Siya order the reinforcements to drag out boxes of high-grade crystals and powerful ammunition from the scrap metal, they gaped and started cursing up a storm in their hearts.

Was this woman the Queen Bee or Queen of Madness?

Didn’t she know that when an armored airship was filled with so many high-grade crystals and powerful ammunition, it was the same as an extremely powerful super crystal bomb?

It would be good if she landed successfully, but if she failed and the armored airship plunged down out of control, there was a high possibility that she would end up reducing the entire Mutual Gold Coliseum into ashes!

Even if she did not want to live, Xiong Wei and Su Lun wanted to!

Phantom Bear Xiong Wei was known for being domineering and fearless and could finally do whatever he wanted after Saber Jin Wanhao entered a dead-like state so that he could have a taste of being the Underground Emperor and ruler of the lair, but he did not want to die without knowing what was going on!

“What’s this?” With a sour face, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei pointed at a metal box with a picture of a fire and a skull inside it. It was right behind Lu Siya.

“A special napalm bomb,” Lu Siya said faintly. “If the situation is so bad that nothing can be done to save it anymore, we’re to use it to perform a full purification.”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun’s hearts froze.

“Don’t worry, after the lair enters a full lockdown, no one is allowed to leave. Since I’m already inside, before completely solving the crisis, it’s impossible for me to cast you aside and leave. That’s why I will calmly, carefully, and seriously assess the situation. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I will not use these ‘toys’.”

Lu Siya smiled and continued, “The reinforcements I brought are all the elites of Sky Pillar Corporation. Many of them have been fighting with my father for decades, and their loyalty is not to be questioned. With just one word from me, they’re willing to fight until the last soldier’s last drop of blood!”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun could understand what Lu Siya meant.

The squad she brought was not just reinforcements. She had come to both investigate and supervise.

The outside world was ill at ease about letting the gangs fight against the monsters alone.

This was especially the case when Meng Chao turned traitor. It caught them by surprise, and they found it unbelievable. Even though Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, Snake Eye Mo Lan, and the others provided testimonies, they still could not help but suspect it.

Hence, they sent Lu Siya into the lair to understand the situation.

“What exactly is going on in the lair right now? Who has the final say among the gangs? Why hasn’t Mr. Jin appeared?” Just as they expected, Lu Siya went straight for the main points.

Su Lun told her about the information the gangs received after the explosion in the village and placed an emphasis on certain points.

He also gave a vague account about Saber Jin Wanhao not feeling well and being unable to handle this crisis.

The matter about Meng Chao’s betrayal had been reported to the outside world long ago, so he just gave a brief statement about it.

When Lu Siya heard about Meng Chao’s betrayal, her expression did not change. Even her eyelashes did not flutter. Clearly, she had heard it before. In fact, it was the main reason behind why she decided to enter the lair.

In the end, Su Lun mentioned that the gangs had already reached an agreement to pool together their resources, open their territories, and elect a highest commander to command all the squads.

Xiong Wei took half a step forward and said stiffly, “We already elected Vice Gang Leader Su of Golden Tooth to be the highest commander. Ms. Lu, you should know that Vice Gang Leader Su has been doing a lot of things for the lair the past few years.

“On a micro level, he helped us earn a lot of money, and on a macro level, he created a lot of job opportunities. He gathered the strong working population in the lair and the areas around it and contributed greatly in maintaining order in Dragon City. Everyone has no problems with him as the commander, including me.

“But now that you’re here, it’s only natural that you’ll take over as the highest commander.

“Don’t worry, the people in the lair know that we should take the whole situation into account and obey orders. There’s no way they will not accept you. If anyone does, I’ll beat them up until they accept you!”
