Lu Siya told Meng Chao that the direction of the higher-ups was gradually changing.
It was mainly because of the attack on Noble Descent Hotel. Many of the important figures in the nine great cultivation families were dragged into the case based on Zhou Tianshui.
These people were not puppets controlled by abnormal beasts.
But they still did plenty of things that trampled on the limits of superhumans and harmed the interests of their families, businesses, Dragon City, and even human civilization.
Some people used their positions to take bribes and fill their own pockets.
Some people schemed against each other, framed others, and used all sorts of methods to get rid of their competitors.
Some people saw their competitors in danger in the wild, so they intentionally ignored them and even hit them when they were down.
Some people even killed people in the wild to steal their treasures, but they pretended to be attacked by monsters to escape punishment from the law.
Of course, there were plenty of examples of people using supernatural abilities to bully and oppress normal people. There were also examples of people using cultivation families or rich people's identities to bully middle-grade and low-grade superhumans who came from poor families. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
Abnormal beast puppets like Zhou Tianshui gathered a lot of evidence of the crimes committed by the members of the nine great cultivation families. Then, they threatened and bribed them so that they could be dragged into their crimes.
There were even cases of superhumans committing crimes that were originally under the jurisdiction of the adjudicator court.
And these black sheep did everything they could to drag some of the adjudicators into the mess. They worked together with them to hide their crimes, which was why they could remain free until this day.
As the abnormal beast research department attacked Zhou Tianshui's house, company, and secret nest, a lot of evidence was exposed, and it stirred up a huge reaction in the adjudicator court and the nine great cultivation families. It was like a magnitude 18 earthquake.
"The higher-ups of the nine great cultivation families realized that over the past half a century, we've been focusing on increasing our fighting strength, but we've neglected the refinement of our minds and ideals. Besides, we're at war, and everyone is in a precarious situation, so we have to fight for all the resources with our fists and weapons. The relationships between the mega corporations, the peerless fighters, and the superhumans and normal people aren't normal. Naturally, the mindset that the winner takes all and the strong is king was born."
Lu Siya sighed. "Many of the superhumans who have committed crimes are disdainful when concrete evidence is thrown in their faces." They think that they've been injured for Dragon City and contributed to humanity. They think that they can destroy a mountain with one punch, so it's nothing for them to get some money and enjoy themselves. It's only when we listed their relationship with Zhou Tianshui and Zhou Tianshui's relationship with the abnormal beasts that they were shocked and regretted their actions.
"They learned a rather painful lesson. After this battle, the higher-ups believe that the internal conflicts in Dragon City are so big that they must be solved, or else, a new Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, and Zhou Tianshui will be born at any moment.
"In truth, the higher-ups have long since noticed this problem, or else they wouldn't have pushed out the slogan that superhumans are the sabers of human civilization, and the blood of the strong flows for the weak.
"But this ambush made the higher-ups come to the decision to fully sort out the superhumans who broke the law and even committed crimes over the past ten or twenty years. They wanted to strengthen the ideological education of the superhumans so that they could truly become the guardian gods of human civilization.
"By the way, you should pay attention to your side as well. In a few days, someone might come to you to investigate the Red Radiance Jade mine."
Meng Chao was a little stunned. "Huh?"
"Did you forget that we fought against the mine exploration team from Universe Corporation under Raging Waves?"
Lu Siya said. "Of course, we didn't have any grounds to stand on in this matter. At the end of the day, everyone attacked at the same time because of the White Spirit's bewitchment. It's completely different from killing people and stealing their treasures. When superhumans explore and hunt in the wild, they often run into a lot of monsters who are skilled in creating illusions and mind control. As long as they don't have any intentional motives, there won't be any problems."
Meng Chao nodded.
The fight between the two mine exploration teams had nothing to do with him. He did not have a single innocent person's blood on his hands, and he was not afraid of crooked accusations!
Instead, he hoped that the investigation would be more thorough and clear, because this meant that …
"The higher-ups have decided to cut their losses and are going to get rid of the superhuman squads, huh?"
"That's right. There are a lot of people who aren't just black sheep. They're practically tumors among superhumans. If we don't make up our minds to get rid of these tumors, the abnormal beasts will use them again to intensify the internal conflict in Dragon City and make these tumors explode."
When Lu Siya said this, she could not help but sneer coldly. She whispered, "This can be considered as the monsters forcing the superhumans to change, right?"
Meng Chao thought about it and asked, "Then, is there a problem with you and your dad?"
"Don't worry. You can doubt my and my dad's characters, but don't doubt our intelligence. We won't betray our bottom line for petty benefits!"
Lu Siya's expression changed, and she grinned. "To me and my dad, there are only benefits in this matter. There are no disadvantages. Didn't I tell you last time? I have an uncle who is my dad's competitor in the family. Because of Zhou Tianshui and Kun-peng Dynamics, he suffered a huge setback.
"In any case, on one hand, we have to get rid of the black sheep among the superhumans. On the other hand, we have to create a group of model superhumans and model businesses to redeem the damage to the nine great cultivation families' image. Sky Pillar Minerals is one of the largest mining corporations in Dragon City, so it is only natural that we have to take on more social responsibilities."
"I see. I was wondering why you changed. You're actually willing to do volunteer work for normal citizens!"
Meng Chao held back his laughter and sized up Lu Siya. He nodded and said, "I have to say, now that I like it, this style suits you."
"Get lost."
Lu Siya gritted her teeth. "You know that I'm just doing this for publicity and for a greater goal."
"It doesn't matter. It's just like how you saved the father and daughter outside Noble Descent Hotel the other day. No matter what your goal is, as long as you can save people and contribute, it's fine," Meng Chao said happily.
In his previous life, due to the devastating loss in the northern offense, the nine great cultivation families and all of Dragon City suffered a major blow. Naturally, they did not have enough space and resources to cut their losses and get rid of the black sheep.
Perhaps it was precisely because there were a lot of tumors in the city that the relationship between superhumans and normal people had not been straightened out. Besides, the abnormal beasts fanned the flames, which resulted in both sides suffering great losses during the Monster War.
This time, everything would be different, right?
With Meng Chao acting as the middleman, Sky Pillar Minerals, the old residential areas around Blessed Heavenly Garden, and Zhao Feixuan's security company signed a tripartite agreement. Sky Pillar Minerals would provide funds to fully upgrade the old residential areas.
When the news spread out, Sky Pillar Minerals naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Lu Fanghui was also known as an entrepreneur filled with social responsibility.
On a day when many of the superhumans from the nine great cultivation families had scandals about them, he became a clean stream among the rich families.
Even Lu Siya's achievements of turning the tide, entering the tiger's den, saving the transmigration expert, and killing the abnormal beast's mastermind were "dug out" by the reporters.
At the same time, the reporters also "dug out" the news about her driving a broken van and often hiding her identity to do voluntary labor on the streets to help normal citizens rebuild their homes even though she was a member of the third generation of Sky Pillar Corporation and the daughter of a rich family.
For a period of time, Lu Siya became the role model of all the superhumans in the city, especially the superhumans who came from cultivation families. She appeared on all sorts of news and forums every few days. She was even printed on posters. It showed her in overalls while she cleaned up the ruins with disheveled hair and a dirty face. Below it were two sentences: "Superhumans are the sabers of human civilization. The blood of the strong flows for the weak."
This was the first time Meng Chao saw it on the streets, and he was dumbfounded for a full half a minute.
Of course, if she dared to set up a public persona, she had to be prepared to fail.
Soon, the media, who loved to see the world in chaos, found pictures and even videos of her dressed in fancy clothes, driving super sports cars, and attending all sorts of parties. They wanted to prove that she was a schemer and that she was a different person.
Lu Siya was not afraid at all.
"Yes, in the past, I was young and arrogant. I was childish, confused, and even stupid. Even though I awakened to supernatural abilities, I never thought about using them to do anything."
As the media surged toward her, Lu Siya, who was doing voluntary labor, gently stroked her sweaty hair and smiled. "Now that I think about it, I really wasted my time and can't bear to look back on it. It's the shame of superhumans.
"Then, I met a good friend whose family background, experiences, and thoughts are completely different from mine. He's Meng Chao from Agricultural University's martial arts course. I learned a lot of things from him and got to know a lot of friendly, respectful, and adorable normal citizens. I understood their emotions, and I also learned just how blissful a life of daily necessities is and how much it is worth protecting.
"Gradually, under Meng Chao's influence, I changed. Fancy clothes, luxurious cars, and parties became boring, but the smiles of normal citizens that come from the bottom of their hearts became incredibly precious. I'm willing to fight for the rest of my life with Meng Chao to protect those smiles!"
This interview caused Meng Chao to spit out his rice when he heard it, and it stirred up a huge reaction among the tens of millions of citizens in Dragon City.
As the eldest senior brother of the Ultimate Style, the club leader of the Broken Star Club, the committee member of Blue Home, one of the youngest Heaven Realm superhumans in Dragon City, and the outstanding member of the Golden Generation who represented the alliance of the five universities to defeat Dragon City University for the first time in ten years, Meng Chao was also an internet celebrity with millions of fans on social media.
Of course, it was hard to say who was riding on whose traffic between him and Lu Siya. In any case, the two of them created an amazing chemical reaction, and their fame rose to another level.
As for Meng Chao, the number of members in the Broken Star Club went over the two hundred thousand mark.
The number of normal citizens and middle-grade and low-grade superhumans who were interested in the Ultimate Style also increased. Practically all the Ultimate Style Experience Centers that were open twenty-four hours a day were filled to the brim.
