Looking at his energetic appearance, Meng Chao could not help but frown. He did not show any signs that his injuries were acting up or that he was dying. He also did not feel depressed because Universe Corporation was in the middle of a storm.

“Explain.”

Meng Chao asked, “What do you mean by you’re dead?”

“We don’t have much time left.”

Shen Yuanbao briefly said, “The tragedy of Bright Light has made all the forces tense up to the maximum. Many plots and schemes that were quietly running in the dark have greatly accelerated.

“We don’t have time to slowly search for clues and find out who is behind the attempted assassination on me and The Bright Light’s explosion, as well as find the leader of the new Blood Alliance.”

Meng Chao continued to ask, “So?”

“So, I can only die.”

Shen Yuanbao explained, “I’m still alive. The mastermind does not dare to act rashly because of my fierce past reputation.

“My useless children have also been well-behaved. None of them have shown the slightest flaw.

“Only when I die will they fall into chaos. Only then will they shed all pretense of cordiality and start fighting. Only then will the mastermind behind the scenes surface and seize the opportunity to usurp Universe Corporation’s power!”

Meng Chao suddenly realized something. “Fake your death?”

“What else?

“If I don’t fake my death, I’m really going to be angered to death by these b*stards!” Shen Yuanbao said bitterly.

No one knew whether the “b*stards” he was referring to were his unworthy descendants or the murderers who caused The Bright Light’s explosion.

“By the way, Universe Corporation really owes Lu Siya a big favor this time.”

Shen Yuanbao sighed. “No matter what her goal is, if she hadn’t stepped forward, Universe Corporation wouldn’t have been able to pass this test.”.

“Is this what you two want? Are you doing this to draw Universe Corporation to Azure Alliance’s side?”

“I told you, I’m not on the same side as Lu Siya.”

Thinking of Lu Siya’s actions, Meng Chao snorted coldly, his eyes still full of confusion.

“Well, I don’t know what problems you and Lu Siya have, but she did just pull Universe Corporation… No, more accurately, she pulled the entire Dragon City back from the edge of chaos.”

Shen Yuanbao opened another interface on his tablet and placed it in front of Meng Chao. “Look at this.”

Meng Chao looked over and found that it was footage taken through a secret lens.

It was the scene of a magnificent meeting room, where some people were smoking and having a meeting.

Judging from the time display in the upper left corner of the screen, it should have started recording just five minutes ago.

It was progressing in real-time. The meeting that Shen Yuanbao had taken so seriously was still in progress.

Although the footage was blurry, it would shake and be covered up from time to time.

Meng Chao recognized a number of familiar participants at a glance.

“Lu Zhongqi, chairman of Sky Pillar Corporation’s Board of Directors!

“Lei Tianming, founder of Soaring Dragon Corporation!

“Yun Feidian, CEO of Thundercloud Corporation!”

These men were the leaders of the nine richest mega corporations in the world, and the second generation of the best.

They were also famous Deity Realm fighters.

Even though they hid behind the scenes like Shen Yuanbao and no longer participated in the daily operations of the management or most of the decisions on the surface, in reality, they were still an unshakable existence that stood tall.

Meng Chao roughly estimated that he could sweep across at least six or seven Deity Realm fighters just from the angle of the camera.

There were also quite a few familiar voices that were not captured by the camera. He had heard them before at some high-end business receptions. They should also be Deity Realm fighters.

In other words, the number of Deity Realm fighters gathered in the meeting room was likely to be more than single digits.

When he thought of the fact that the meeting was still in progress and they were gathered to discuss something, it dawned on him.

Meng Chao glanced at Shen Yuanbao.

He did not expect this currently-famous old senior who seemed to be seriously injured and in an extremely pathetic state, to have such profound strength.

He even had a way to plant nails into the meeting held by his old rival, Lu Zhongqi, and many other Deity Realm fighters.

It seemed that he was not Shen Yuanbao’s only ally.

Meng Chao was almost certain that the person secretly recording the scene was also a Deity Realm fighter.

Only a Deity Realm fighter could get away with not being searched, which could lead to the discovery of the recording equipment.

Only a Deity Realm fighter could use the fluctuations of his own vitality magnetic field to conceal the noise, vibration, and weak electric current that the recording equipment emitted when it was operating. Hence, the other Deity Realm fighters would not be able to detect it.

Shen Yuanbao made a hand gesture, indicating that it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning. It made Meng Chao focus his attention on the content of the recording.

“That old ghost, Shen, thought that he was smart to drag us down with him by expanding the investigation. I didn’t expect him to be the cause of The Bright Light’s explosion. I want to see how he’ll deal with this!” Lei Tianming, the leader of Soaring Dragon Corporation said.

The predecessor of Soaring Dragon Corporation was Soaring Dragon Construction.

Soaring Dragon Construction used to be the largest military construction contractor in Dragon City.

Aside from being in charge of renovating all the factories, residences, shopping malls, and office buildings in the city and transforming all the civilian buildings into indestructible steel fortresses, their main business was to build a large number of forward bases outside Dragon City. These bases were armed with long guns, short cannons, and high-voltage power grids. They would use the “fortress flow” technique to steadily expand the living space of Dragon City’s civilization.

In the process of building the forward bases, they were repeatedly attacked by the beast horde.

Being able to stand firm amidst the beast horde’s attack, they managed to even push the steel battle fort all the way to the entrance of the monster’s lair and shoot the shells directly into the depths of the lair.

That was the ability of Soaring Dragon Construction.

Soaring Dragon Corporation’s market share was one percentage point taken from the monster’s bloody mouth.

As the founder and leader of the corporation, Lei Tianming was naturally born from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was, no doubt, a martial artist.

He was a bald man with a full beard.

No matter how shiny his head was, his full beard was as tense as a sword. It was as if all the hair on his head had been transferred to his face and chin.

At that moment, every strand of his whiskers, which were as hard as iron, trembled with murderous intent. When he spoke of his towering anger, he slammed the table hard, leaving a clear handprint on the table made of ironwood. “It doesn’t matter if that old ghost, Shen, wants to die, but he has implicated our eight families. What an undeserved calamity! How outrageous!”
