Lu Siya stared at the seven puppets as if trying to identify them through the information between their words and the subtle changes in their facial muscles.

However, she soon gave up trying in vain and asked, “What’s the price? What kind of price do I have to pay to get your ‘help?'”

“It’s very simple.

The seven puppets said, “Become one of us and work together with us to establish Dragon City’s order and create its future.”

“Hehe, from my experience, those seemingly simple requirements are often the most complicated and difficult ones.”

Lu Siya sneered and asked, “Specifically, what do you want me to do in the Azure Alliance?”

“Don’t worry. I guarantee that it’s within your power and will not harm your own interests. Even if it does harm you, we will give you a high reward. I guarantee that you’ll be willing and you won’t regret today’s decision.”

The seven puppets said, “For example, you can help us keep an eye on the hardcore members of the Azure Alliance who are determined to go against the nine mega corporations—those street-born, unruly, smelly, and tough guys.

“We are not mass murderers. We don’t necessarily have to physically eliminate these guys. We only hope to use clever methods to ensure that they can’t seize the Azure Alliance’s power.

“Another example is when the nine mega corporations are going to propose some important proposals. You can use your influence within the Azure Alliance to help our proposal pass the Survival Committee’s vote. At the very least, you don’t have to face too much opposition.

“Also, among the nine mega corporations, there are many people who don’t belong to us, many who will harm our interests, and many who have serious disagreements with our plans for the future.

“From our point of view, it’s sometimes difficult to get rid of these people directly.

“If it’s through the hands of the Azure Alliance, it’ll be much easier for them to get involved in scandals and lose their reputation. It’s your specialty to begin with, isn’t it?”

Lu Siya narrowed her eyes and snorted in dissatisfaction.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

The guy controlling the seven puppets seemed to sense that Lu Siya’s emotions were changing subtly.

The smile on the seven puppets’ faces became more and more intense, “We won’t send you to do these things for free. Don’t you think that having a group of allies who hold key positions and important power in the nine mega corporations is a great thing for you?

“I believe that there are many people in the Azure Alliance who don’t like you, Lu Sita. Some of them are persons of interest, and some are your competitors. If you want to get rid of them in the internal competition, you’ll have to pay a huge price. At the very least, you’ll attract a lot of trouble.

“It’s okay. Give us the list, and we’ll do it beautifully.

“Similarly, many of the Azure Alliance’s proposals are just wishful thinking. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be supported by the nine mega corporations.”

“However, if these proposals are led by you, and you’re willing to exchange some benefits with us elsewhere, then these proposals might become part of your credit.”

“Similarly, the nine mega corporations don’t want to create an overly domineering image. We won’t force our own bills to be supported by all the members and citizens.

“On a regular day, we’ll throw out many bills that are real or fake. Some of them involve our core interests and must be implemented no matter what. However, some of them are superficial and insignificant, and they are thrown out to be vetoed by the opposition.

“As long as we reveal this information to you in advance, you’ll be able to act as a tit-for-tat female fighter on those insignificant bills. After a series of unrelenting struggles, you’ll be able to ‘defeat’ the nine mega corporations on the general public’s behalf.

“I believe that as long as we reach a consensus on this, you’ll soon become the most dazzling new star in the Azure Alliance, the most tenacious female fighter in the general public’s heart, and the person who has the best way to defeat or at least stop the nine mega corporations.

“When the time comes, forget the throne of power in the Azure Alliance, you’ll even have a chance to sit on the Survival Committee’s throne!”

Lu Siya’s eyes shone with a soul-stirring light.

Even though they were two decks apart, Meng Chao could feel her vitality magnetic field. It was like a raging flame being stoked with a ladle of hot oil. It suddenly rose thirty to fifty feet high, almost burning through the entire floating fortress.

“There’s no need to doubt our sincerity.”

The seven puppets said, “If the citizens of Dragon City are really tired of having the familiar faces from the nine great cultivation families dominate Dragon City’s future, then at certain times, we don’t mind letting a member of Parliament from the Azure Alliance sit in the chairman’s seat of the Survival Committee—as long as this member is one of ‘our’ people.”

Lu Siya fell into deep thought.

Meng Chao could sense the temperature of her brain was rising.

It was obvious that her brain cells were entering a state of intense activity.

Meng Chao could not help but feel that things were not good.

He was already confused by Lu Siya. He did not know what state she was in at the moment. Was she a human with free will, a puppet controlled by the monster mastermind, or both, at the same time, where she retained the thoughts of a human and the will of the monster mastermind?

But one thing was certain.

No matter what state Lu Siya was in, she would not become a chess piece for anyone to manipulate.

Yun Feidian was an idiot.

He did not realize at all what kind of strange and terrifying existence he was bewitching.

He was outside, tying himself in a cocoon and luring a wolf into the house!

Unfortunately, Yun Feidian could not hear Meng Chao’s thoughts.

He seemed to think that Lu Siya was already moved.

The seven puppets’ eyes were simultaneously burning with bewitching flames. They struck while the iron was hot and said, “To show our sincerity, we will give you a chance right now, a chance to become a heroine.”

Lu Siya raised her eyebrows high. “What kind of heroine?”

“A heroine who solves the mystery behind The Bright Light’s explosion.”

The seven puppets paused for a moment before they continued. “And a superheroine who prevents a larger-scale attack than The Bright Light’s explosion, saves countless people, and uncovers the mastermind!”

Hearing that, Meng Chao’s pupils constricted.

He finally understood why Yun Feidian had set up the super crystal bomb in the Golden Roc’s core cabin!
