1839 The Reason for Collusion

Meng Chao’s brain felt like an old computer that was operating at an overload. It was smoking, spurting fire, and on the verge of exploding.

He bore with the splitting headache and discovered a new problem.

“Wait a minute, did you just say that the surveillance footage captured Master Lei entering the ancient ruins at the same time as the Golden Roc’s explosion?” Meng Chao asked.

“In other words, this letter to me should have been written before the Golden Roc exploded.

“But at that point, Master Lei shouldn’t have known that I had already returned to Dragon City!”

“…That’s true.”

Long Feijun contemplated for a moment and said, “Master Lei’s condition has worsened in the past two weeks. His so-called closed-door training has been equivalent to deep sleep or even hibernation therapy.

“In theory, he doesn’t have many opportunities to come across information from the outside world. We’ve also been cautious about disturbing his rest with the series of complicated events that have been happening recently.

“There’s no way for him to discover that so many things have happened in Dragon City. The likelihood of him knowing that you’ve already returned to Dragon City is even lower.

“The old man’s brain disease has worsened to the point that he’s lost his memories of the past year. Perhaps he doesn’t remember that you’ve left Dragon City?”

Meng Chao felt that this explanation was too forced.

After a moment of silence, he asked, “Let’s not worry about that for now. Where are you? What are you going to do next?”

“We’re at the entrance of the ancient ruins. I’ve sent my trusted senior and junior brothers from Battle God Palace to guide those on site and seal off the scene.”

Long Feijun said, “Don’t worry, the news hasn’t leaked out yet.”

Meng Chao understood what Long Feijun meant.

At this moment, Dragon City was akin to a burning vortex.

The chain reaction caused by the destruction of the Blood Alliance was more serious and unpredictable than a landslide. It could push the entire civilization into the abyss of disintegration or even complete destruction at any moment.

At this moment of life and death, only the former Battle God had enough prestige and credibility to stabilize the situation, calm the people’s hearts, and heal their wounds.

In fact, Meng Chao felt that since the nine great families had one scandal after another, the superhumans from the great families could never gain the trust of the ordinary people. The superhumans from humble families, who represented by the Azure Alliance, had just risen to power. Their foundation was too shallow, so they could not gain the trust of the great families either.

Only Battle God Lei Zongchao could become Dragon City’s supreme leader—even if it was only in name—and receive the approval of all parties. This would make the extremely tense interest groups sit back at the negotiation table and calmly discuss how to create a more powerful Dragon City under new rules.

However, at this critical moment, Battle God Lei Zongchao had disappeared into the depths of the earth in such an abrupt and even strange manner.

Once this d*mned news leaked out, it would be like a thunderbolt exploding above the heads of all the superhumans and ordinary citizens!

“All parties need Master Lei. You can’t seal this news for long.”

Meng Chao gritted his teeth and said, “No matter how big the risk is and how much we have to sacrifice, we have to find Master Lei.

“I’ll be more direct. Even if Master Lei’s time is up and no one can save him, before he returns to his eternal home, he should have left his last words and expectations to all the citizens of Dragon City. He should tell everyone what to do and which direction we should move in!”

“That’s right,” Long Feijun said.

“I’m organizing a search and rescue team, preparing various tools, and drawing up a detailed plan. The first batch of search and rescue personnel will enter the deepest part of the ancient ruins in half an hour at the latest!”

“Understood. I’ll rush over to the Supernatural Tower now, to the entrance of the ancient ruins!” Meng Chao said firmly.

“Please put me in the first search and rescue team!”

The two then ended the call.

Meng Chao rubbed his face hard.

From a certain perspective, what happened next would much easier to handle.

No matter what, he had to find Battle God Lei Zongchao first!

“Interesting.”

While his entire face was obscured by the darkness, Lu Siya’s voice once again rang out behind him. “Something interesting suddenly occurred to me.”

“You heard what Long Feijun said. I have to leave immediately,” Meng Chao said stiffly.

He paused for a moment as he could not help but ask, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the Youth Gymnastics Editorial Review Committee’s scandal and their choice of Plan A.”

Lu Siya’s eyes glowed with a strange light. “Do you think that Battle God Lei Zongchao knows the inside story?”

Meng Chao’s hands suddenly became a little stiff while he was rubbing his face.

“Logically speaking, Battle God Lei Zongchao is talented enough to develop most of the spirit martial arts theories. It’s impossible that he didn’t see the advantages and disadvantages of Plan A and Plan B. It’s impossible that he didn’t see that choosing the high-investment, high-risk, and high-return Plan A would obviously be beneficial to the children of the rich and powerful. Meanwhile, the children of the humble families, who made up the majority of the population, would not make it big for the rest of their lives. Don’t you think so?”

Lu Siya said, “Yet, for so many years, I’ve never heard of Battle God Lei Zongchao raising too many objections to the standardized basic beginner exercises for all the teenagers in the city. There are even several versions of gymnastics exercise that have been personally endorsed by the Battle God!”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.

His eyes were as sharp as scalpels.

“No, no, no, I’m not hinting that Battle God Lei Zongchao is also a beneficiary in this bloody chain of interests. In fact, I don’t think the Youth Gymnastics Editorial Review Committee or any interest group in the nine great families have the qualification and capital to buy over Battle God Lei Zongchao.”

Lu Siya ignored Meng Chao’s sharp gaze. She rested her chin on her hand and continued to analyze. “If Battle God Lei Zongchao really wanted fame and power in the secular sense, he would have seized one the many opportunities he had to become the Survival Committee’s chairman, or he could have created an interest group that was even larger than the nine mega corporations. He could have accumulated an astronomical amount of wealth and had a family that was completely loyal to him.

“However, not only did he not do any of that, but he even gave up everything that a peerless expert could enjoy in peace.

“In the decades that followed, his daily activities, as well as his contributions to the Dragon City civilization, have made him seem like a special saint.

“If this is a disguise, it’s a terrifying one.

“Therefore, I don’t quite believe that he colluded with the Youth Gymnastics Editorial Review Committee for the tiniest profit.

“In that case, why didn’t the mighty Battle God step forward in advance to expose and stop everything?”
