“This is bad,” Meng Chao mumbled to himself.

“Once the angry crowd rushes into Universe Corporation’s headquarters, the situation will certainly develop to an uncontrollable degree. No matter how cunning Shen Yuanbao is, he’ll never be able to endure such humiliation. The other eight mega corporations would even be sympathetic to their enemy’s death. It will not be possible to compromise or cooperate with the Azure Alliance anymore.

“As for the new Blood Alliance and the tenth Supernatural Entity, they will certainly add fuel to the fire. They’ll take advantage of the situation and stir up trouble. They’ll tear apart all the sectors and forces in Dragon City before they push our civilization, which has just won a series of victories, into an even more unpredictable swirl and battlefield!”

Time was of the essence. Meng Chao did not have a perfect plan, but he knew that he could no longer stay out of it.

Even if he would be exposed to the new Blood Alliance or the tenth Supernatural Entity, he needed to stand up and stop the crazed crowd!

Meng Chao took a deep breath and prepared to jump down from the window, which was dozens of stories high.

Just as he was about to attract everyone’s attention with his godly power, the rapid sounds of trumpet came from the front of the crowd.

Through his binoculars, Meng Chao saw a dusty construction waste hauler squeezing through an alley from across Universe Corporation’s headquarters.

The alley was too narrow, and the construction waste hauler was moving too fast. The friction created sparks and noise, immediately catching everyone’s attention before Meng Chao.

The construction waste hauler’s driver slammed on the brakes, and it stopped in front of the surging crowd.

The driver’s side door was kicked open from the inside, and a tall, strong figure jumped down. She used both hands and feet to climb onto the roof so that everyone could see her face clearly.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw her, and Meng Chao’s pupils also shrank as a result. His breathing quickened, and his heart started to beat faster.

That’s right, she was the Lu Siya whom Meng Chao had dreamed of earlier.

Right then, Lu Siya was wearing a hard hat, a work uniform, and a pair of spiked boots with steel plates. She was not wearing any makeup or any gold and silver. Her exposed skin had been tanned to the color of wheat and she was covered in dust as well as a few small cuts. She did not seem like the daughter of a rich family or a ruthless ambitious person in the slightest. She was just like the crowd she was facing: ordinary. Lu Siya looked like a laborer who supported Dragon City from the bottom.

Meng Chao blinked hard. The first time he met Lu Siya, she still had a professional suit on even in the wilderness where monsters roamed and the ground was covered in blood and mud. She looked like a strong woman with the temperament of a superior.

That somehow felt like a lifetime ago to him.

However, Meng Chao knew the origin of Lu Siya’s outfit.

After returning to Dragon City, his most important task had been to investigate the new Blood Alliance and solve the problem with Lu Siya. He had to stop her before the wild banshee, which was a result of the monsters’ erosion, caused more damage!

Therefore, Meng Chao had been keeping track of Lu Siya’s actions in the past year through various channels, closely monitoring her.

Meng Chao was surprised to find that Lu Siya had not revealed her ferocious wild banshee appearance in the past year and caused trouble in Dragon City.

On the contrary, she had become the second most perfect example of a superhuman after Meng Chao, doing her best to fight for the general public.

The past half a month was a great example.

Before the underground black market scandal was exposed, Lu Siya’s main task had been to run around and supervise the overall renovation of the slums, the old residential areas in Dragon City, and the urban renewal project.

Most of the old residential areas in Dragon City were built to resist the threat of war. There were almost no elevators, and the stairways and windows were very small. Meanwhile, the walls filled with reinforced concrete were extremely thick. They were simply earth bunkers.

Their defensive power had increased, but the lighting was not good. The area was too small, the bathrooms were too few, the layout was unreasonable, and other problems had always existed.

In times of war, people would put defensive power first.

In times of peace, everyone had a yearning for a more spacious and comfortable life.

For the long-term development of Dragon City and the well-being of the ordinary citizens, urban renewal was imperative.

Also, everyone knew that large-scale urban renewal was the most likely to cause conflicts and the easiest to profit from.

To ensure that all the ordinary citizens could be assigned to a residence that they were satisfied with on the premise of openness and fairness, no one could work on it and fill their own pockets.

Lu Siya was almost constantly running around the scene of urban renewal in various places.

She was definitely not doing anything superficial.

Instead, she was venturing deep into the ranks of front-line engineers and even ordinary workers, eating and living with them, listening to their troubles, learning their skills, and even working with them. She did the most basic and most arduous work.

That simple and unadorned approach once again gave Lu Siya a favorable impression. It also completely changed her image in the people’s hearts, turning all aspects of herself into gold.

Now, no one thought of Lu Siya as the daughter of a wealthy family.

And no one would associate her with the nine mega corporations.

She was no longer just “Lu Zhongqi’s granddaughter.”

She was Lu Siya, the people’s superhuman.

Perhaps only Meng Chao knew how big the wild banshee’s appetite was and how terrifying her ambition was.

There was definitely a reason why she had been hiding her wings and claws for a whole year.

When she appeared before the angry crowd and instantly won the public’s cheers, trust, and support, the reason was obvious.

“Lu Siya’s the real culprit who blew up The Bright Light, and she’s also the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Shen Yuanbao!”

The clues in Meng Chao’s mind started to connect, and he was suddenly enlightened.

That’s right, even if Lu Siya was not the tenth Supernatural Entity as a wild banshee, she was definitely on par with the tenth Supernatural Entity.

It had taken her an entire year to win the general public’s trust, and she even stole a high position in the Azure Alliance.

She fanned the flames and used the situation to her advantage. Via all kinds of sinister and cunning methods, she caused the conflict between the nine mega corporations and the Azure Alliance, between the wealthy and the poor, as well as between the superhumans and the ordinary people, to increase in intensity until today. Things had reached the critical point of exploding, and she had personally lit the fuse.

After this, as long as she raised her arms and shouted, she would be able to lead the fanatical crowd into Universe Corporation’s headquarters.

It would be irretrievably chaotic and destructive.
