Chapter 1620: Fighters With Flaws

Shen Yuanbiao did not seem to realize that Shen Yuanbao had already listed him as the biggest suspect.

With a sad face, the “chief butler” of Universe Corporation, who was devoted to his duties, told Shen Yuanbiao that the assassination attempt on him had caused a huge uproar in the entire city.

Now, the outside world had many different opinions, and the rumors were becoming increasingly mysterious.

The most ridiculous rumor claimed that Shen Yuanbao had been assassinated on the spot. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Universe Corporation had deliberately blocked all news of it and found a substitute to cover it up. The successors of the Shen family who knew the truth were divided into two camps and engaged in a fierce battle.

Affected by the rumor, the shares of Universe Corporation and related companies experienced a huge shock in the financial market.

Many suppliers urgently contacted Shen Yuanbiao in an effort to figure out the truth.

The ongoing cooperation between them had also been cast into a large shadow.

Shen Yuanbao, an old Deity Realm warrior, had originally collected a large amount of accounts receivable, and he had been unafraid of not getting the funds back. Now, there was a big question mark on whether the other parties would pay on time.

However, these normal business problems were not the most serious issues.

The most terrible thing was thanks to the assassination attempt, the Azure Alliance could now see which was the weakest link among the nine mega corporations.

The alliance was gathering its firepower and firing at the weakest link, trying to take a little hit first before they blew through everything.

Articles like “Looking back on Shen Yuanbao’s life where good and evil, black and white are indistinguishable” were published with astonishing efficiency. They instantly were moved to the top of all major social media and were even directly pushed to the subscribers’ inboxes.

These seemingly fair articles, of course, did not cover up the contributions that Shen Yuanbao had made to Dragon City, which included building the Supernatural Tower, establishing the Survival Committee, killing the Apocalyptic Beasts, fighting a battle to the death with the monster mastermind, and so on.

After all, these contributions were obvious and familiar to everyone. There was no way to hide them.

However, after they casually mentioned his contributions, most of the content was about how Shen Yuanbao had dug his first bucket of gold, as well as what the Universe group had done during their transformation into Universe Corporation. They spent a lot of time and effort on how Universe Group had monopolized a large number of crystal ore veins.

The peerless heroes had survived the bloody era where order and law were nonexistent, and the strong preyed on the weak. Naturally, they were not the kind men and women who ate vegetarian food and prayed to Buddha.

Aside from Battle God Lei Zongchao, no matter how dignified and sanctimonious the Deity Realm warriors were today, back when they fought to the death in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and when they made their first bucket of gold, there were always some “opportunities” and “secrets” that were kept from outsiders.

That was especially the case for Shen Yuanbao.

This was their original sin.

It was also the unspoken rule in the circle of superhumans.

It was also a well-known secret in the entire Dragon City.

In the past, ordinary citizens had to rely on peerless fighters to help them combat the monsters.

Everyone tacitly sunk this secret to the bottom of the sea.

Now, the monsters had been eliminated, and Dragon City had become stable. Besides, more and more low-level and mid-level superhumans had emerged among the ordinary citizens. At least in the eyes of the ordinary citizens, they could replace part of the peerless fighters from the nine great cultivation families.

At this time, people looked back at the bloody years decades ago when order collapsed and viewed the peerless fighters’ original sin differently.

“Shen Yuanbao is the embodiment of the unbearable bloody era. It is a combination of good and evil, black and white, order and chaos, protection and plunder, construction and destruction.

“From the perspective of future generations, it’s difficult for us to make an absolutely fair evaluation of him. We can only say that heroes are created based on the times. He’s a very special hero who transmigrated to this treacherous new world, thus he was created by Dragon City’s special environment.

“And Shen Yuanbao’s fall represents not only the end of that chaotic, bloody, and barbaric special era, but also the beginning of a more beautiful brand-new era that respects order and equality.

“A warrior with shortcomings is still a warrior after all. We should pay the old hero, Shen Yuanbao, the highest respect. We should also overcome Shen Yuanbao’s shortcomings and walk on a fairer, brighter, and just road to tomorrow!”

The article seemed to be quite polite.

However, there was a lot of evidence attached to the article. Evidence of Shen Yuanbao’s various illegal operations in order to expand and strengthen Universe Corporation did not seem to be so polite.

The worst part was most of it was true.

Due to Shen Yuanbao’s contributions, people did not directly point the blame at him.

However, people were not so polite to the entire Shen family and Universe Corporation.

“Senior Shen Yuanbao is a very pure warrior. He’s obsessed with cultivation and killing enemies. He has no time to deal with the affairs of gangs, families, and companies. Many times, he leaves all kinds of affairs to his subordinates. It’s inevitable for him to be deceived by his subordinates!”

“Grandpa Shen measured others the same way he did himself. He always thought that everyone was like him, willing to sacrifice their lives and everything for Dragon City. However, many people around him were monsters in human skin. They did not care about Dragon City, only their own interests

“In order to protect Senior Shen Yuanbao’s reputation, we need to thoroughly investigate Universe Corporation’s actions in the past decades and give Senior Shen a clean corporation!”

Guided by someone with good intentions, the current public opinion in the outside world gradually became like that.

When Shen Yuanbiao spoke about it, his expression became particularly ugly.

It proved one thing: he definitely did not leak news of Shen Yuanbao’s assassination attempt.

Since he was “the person beside Senior Shen Yuanbao,” all the family and business affairs had to go through him.

If Shen Yuanbao was really a “pure martial artist,” would he not have to take the blame?

“There must be a mole. It might be the two traitors, Shen Chengyi and Shen Chengxiu!”

Shen Yuanbiao’s eyes were red as he gritted his teeth. “If I see them, I’ll eat those two traitors alive!”

“It’s not Chengyi and Chengxiu.”

Shen Yuanbao shook his head slowly and spoke expressionlessly, “A lot of the evidence here goes back decades ago. They were still wet behind the ears back then. They didn’t have the qualifications to come into contact with such things.”

“Then...”

Shen Yuanbiao was stunned for a moment, and he muttered, “Then who secretly spread these d*mn rumors and evidence? Could Lu Siya of the Azure Alliance be so powerful?”
