Chapter 428: Method to Fight Against Hypnotism

Even though Lu Fanghui was very vague, Meng Chao could guess somewhat that it was highly likely that superhumans from the nine great cultivation families were involved in it. There might even be people from the Lu family who had joined it.

To the Lu family, this was really a situation in which they would have a hard time defending their innocence. They might never be able to explain things clearly to the people about what happened.

This answered a question that had been bothering Meng Chao for a long time: How did Zhou Feixuan turn into one of the ten great lost people in Dragon City in his previous life?

His previous guess was that the abnormal beasts hurt Zhou Feixuan’s family, which crushed him, and used the opportunity to bewitch him and turn him into a killing machine.

But when he thought about it carefully, it did not make sense. If he had not done anything, Ms. Xiao and the children in her womb would have died tragically under the monster’s claws.

Even if Zhao Feixuan lost his reason to rage, he should have vented that rage on monsters. Why would he turn into a lost person who wreaked havoc in Dragon City?

But if there was proof that certain people in the nine great cultivation families had collaborated with the mastermind and created the tragedy against the Home Party and the transmigration experts, in his rage, Zhao Feixuan could turn his attention on the leaders of Dragon City.

‘That’s right. That must have been what happened.’ Meng Chao analyzed things in his mind. ‘If I were an abnormal beast, even if my plan to attack Noble Descent Hotel succeeded, there would be no need to keep Zhouu Tianshui alive. Instead, when the time came, I would cast aside this chess piece and intentionally leak information to prove that there were people in the nine great cultivation families in cahoots with monsters. I could even say that the monsters were created by the Colonization Party and are tools to get rid of those who don’t side with them.

‘After this, the surviving Home Party members would definitely be vexed. They would no longer believe in the Colonization Party and use lawful methods to compete for their rights in the Survival Committee. Instead, they would lurk in the dark and turn into a criminal organization that is extreme, secretive, and will do anything to achieve their goals. All of it would be in the name of revenge.

‘I think that’s what happened in my previous life. I remember that the order in Dragon City at that time was really bad. The lost people were really active and audacious. It’s highly likely that the abnormal beasts were stirring up trouble behind them as well.’

Thank goodness that he had stopped everything in time.

Since the Home Party did not suffer major casualties, its people would naturally not be as worked up. They would calm down and slowly think over what happened to analyze the scheme and find the truth.

A thought popped up in Meng Chao’s mind. He figured out why Lu Fanghui was so generous and wanted to use his status as Sky Pillar Minerals’ president to give up a slice of the pie in the development of the new city area in the north to Superstar, a small company.

The key lay in Lu Siya.

Based on the monster civilization’s original scheme, they were prepared to kill two birds with one stone. They wanted to first get rid of the transmigration experts and deal a heavy blow on the Home Party, then place the blame on the Colonization Party.

As one of the nine great cultivation families, the Lu family was naturally on the Colonization Party’s side.

As a member of the third generation in the family, Lu Siya was born with the brand of the Colonization Party.

But now, as a Colonization Party member, she had worked together with Meng Chao to lead the professional Vulcan Commandos in Sky Pillar Corporation into a dangerous place to save the transmigration experts. She even killed the abnormal beasts’ mastermind—the Demonic Abyss Eye.

This gave the entire story a fatal flaw.

As long as they could promote Lu Siya’s heroic deeds, even if they could not cause all the rumors to die on their own, at the very least, they could get the Lu family, especially Lu Siya and her father, out of the mess.

Not only would they get clean, they might even get unexpected rewards.

And they needed Meng Chao to work with them on this. He could not say that he had spontaneously figured out the abnormal beasts’ real target anymore.

Instead, he had to say that they had made plans and strategized beforehand so that everything worked according to plan or whatever.

Meng Chao was fine with it.

It was not as if he intended to take all the credit, anyway.

He had a close relationship with Big Sis Ya as well.

Lu Fanghua knew how to play the game, too, and gave him a huge pie slice that was more than ten crystal mining projects.

If he did not take it, he would no longer appear to be approachable and friendly, right?

They were all smart people.

With just a few words and communication through their eyes, they understood each other’s intentions. Besides, there was Lu Siya serving as the middlewoman, so their negotiations went really happily.

In just a moment, Meng Chao started calling Lu Fanghui “Uncle Lu”.

Lu Fanghua also started calling Meng Chao “Little Meng”.

“Little Meng, I owe you one for what we discussed today,” Lu Fanghua said with a smile. “The Monster War has entered a brand new stage, and if there’s a threat, there are also blessings. We’re in an era where storms rage all the time. An outstanding youngster like you has plenty of chances to rise to the top.

“Remember that no matter what sort of problems you run into, whatever thoughts or projects you have, you don’t have to hold back. You can come to me immediately. I do have high hopes for your development!”

Meng Chao thought about this for a moment.

Lu Fanghua was a true bigshot who could cover up everything that he did. He did not want to let go of this chance where he could really change something.

“Uncle Lu, since we’re all on the same side now, I’ll get straight to the point if I have any thoughts.” Meng Chao went straight to the point. “During the entire afternoon after I woke up, I was wondering about the next plans of the monster civilization. It’s clear that they won’t prioritize launching head-on attacks like idiots anymore. Instead, they will try to exacerbate the conflicts in Dragon City and make us fall apart from within.

“When the abnormal beasts attacked Noble Descent Hotel, they wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Home Party and throw dirt on the Colonization Party. Of course, this is a very sinister move, but it was made possible by all sorts of conflicts within Dragon City between the Home Party and Colonization Party as well as between the superhumans and normal people. That’s how the enemies could seize the chance to attack us.

“In the next stage of the Monster War, I believe that all the related departments and superhumans will increase their firepower, but attacking monsters alone will not get rid of the root of the problem. Even if we kill all the monsters, Other World creatures that are even more terrifying than monsters might pop up.

“At the end of the day, if we really want the flames of human civilization to light up the Other World, we must ensure that we are the most advanced, brightest, and most beautiful civilization in the Other World. As our strong continuously break the limits of life and push our civilization to greater heights, we can’t ignore the weak. We must protect the bottom line of our civilization and continue expanding the width of our civilization.

“We must work for the day when the difference between the rich and poor as well as the strong and weak wouldn’t be that great in Dragon City and all of us could live dignified lives regardless of whether we’re rich or poor or, at the very least, ensure that our descendants have the chance to compete against each other fairly instead of what is happening right now, where some people live in mansions of more than one thousand square meters and have swimming pools while others have to live in cramped shacks or even tents.

“When that day really comes, I believe that no matter how strong the abnormal beasts’ brainwashing abilities are, there won’t be a lot of people who will be bewitched by them, and there won’t be so many conflicts among us that they could make worse.”

Lu Fanghui cast a deep glance at Meng Chao. “Little Meng, are you... part of the Home Party?”

Meng Chao thought about it seriously. Then, he shook his head slowly.

“Even though I often take part in Blue Home’s activities, I don’t think I’m a member of the Home Party,” Meng Chao said. “I agree with the Home Party that more resources should be given to the normal people and the defenses of the residential areas so that Dragon City could become safer.

“I also want to build it in the direction of an even more beautiful ideal, but I don’t agree with their thoughts of only defending the city like cowards and placing all their stakes on Project 101 to open the dimensional tunnel for Earth’s army to save us.

“There has never been a savior for us. The beautiful future of Dragon City should be created by Dragon Citizens themselves. If we are never able to contact Earth, we can’t just standby and wait for our enemies to kill us. Fighting our way out is the only choice.

“But I’m not 100% on the Colonization Party’s side either. At the very least, I don’t agree with the ideal of expanding outwards and pouring all our resources into developing war machines and the cultivation of the strong so that the strong would become stronger while the weak become weaker. We’re all humans, but there’ll be a heaven and earth difference between us if we go along with the Colonization Party’s ideals.

“I believe that there is a chance for the Colonization Party, Home Party, superhumans, and normal people to think of the best resource distribution plan and reach a balance.”

“I understand.” Lu Fanghui smiled. “You’re not part of the Home Party nor the Colonization Party. You’re a complete idealist.”

Meng Chao smiled. “I am indeed a little too idealistic, aren’t I?” He scratched his head and said, “But Uncle Lu, regardless of whether it’s humans or the civilization, we need some ideals, right?”

“I can somewhat understand what you mean, Little Meng,” Lu Fanghui said. “I know that you came from a poor family and heard a lot of things about cultivation families and mega corporations from Lin Chuan and Gao Ye. I believe that they aren’t very positive things, either.

“But you have to believe me when I say that if we had enough resources, no one would be willing to see so many citizens without homes and so many children unable to receive good education. We really don’t want to see millions of citizens living in shacks that are like hornet nests.

“Dragon City had transmigrated to the Other World out of the blue, and we have struggled to survive for more than half a century. How could there not be problems and conflicts among us? I know a lot more than you about the problems and conflicts in the city, and I want to see them solved more than you, but even if I have the heart to do so, I don’t have the skills!

“Even if I’m the president of Sky Pillar Minerals, I’m still surrounded by plenty of enemies, and Sky Pillar Corporation alone cannot represent the nine great mega corporations. The nine great mega corporations and nine great cultivation families are two completely different concepts.

“As a person, I agree with you, Lin Chuan, and even some of Gao Ye’s ideals. I will also take part and mobilize the resources I can control to try and change the normal citizens’ lives so that I can increase the chances of normal people waking up to supernatural powers as well as will push for the passing of certain laws so that Dragon City can become safer and fairer.

“But Rome wasn’t built in a day. Dragon City’s current situation has developed over a long half a century. We might need to fight for another half a century before your ideals can come to fruition.

“At that time, forget about the generation of superhumans like my father and Battle God Lei Zongchao, even the people from my generation might have already stepped down from the stage of history. It would then be time for you and Siya’s generation to shine.

“So, seize your opportunities and don’t fail to live up to this major era where storms rage. Use all the resources by your side to make yourself shine. I have a feeling that you will be able to walk down further than me and my father, Little Meng. I hope that at that time, you will not forget your heart and will still want to witness Dragon City welcoming a bright future!”
