"Gang Leader Xiong, you're being too serious. I'm just an insignificant special agent. I'm neither an imperial envoy nor a eunuch supervising the army. I will never fight for power and be annoying."
Lu Siya naturally understood the underlying meaning in Xiong Wei's words. She smiled and said, "Before we left, Vice Director Nie of the research department repeatedly told me that the situation in the lair is really complicated right now, and you're the club elites who are at the frontlines and fighting against the monsters and robbers. You're the ones who understand the situation the best.
"My mission is only to help you deliver information, provide support, and do a good job in logistics. It doesn't include interfering with your normal commands and responses.
"Please don't worry. Whether it's Vice Gang Leader Su or Gang Leader Xiong, I will fully support them. I believe the Poison Scorpion Gang will not have any objections."
Bear Might and Su Lun were slightly stunned.
He didn't expect the legendary Queen Bee to be so easy to talk to.
He was even willing to help them deal with the Scorpion Gang.
Then, he realized that Lu Siya definitely had a condition and wanted to make a deal with them.
And this deal was most likely related to Meng Chao.
"But …"
Lu Siya changed the topic. "The lair is in grave danger, and we have to seize every second we have. I wonder, where does the temporary commander want to break through and get rid of the threat from the abnormal beasts and robbers?"
Bear Might and Suren muttered to themselves.
Once they gathered all the squads, resources, and information in the lair, the first thing they needed to do was to kill Meng Chao.
But when he considered the special relationship between Lu Siya and Meng Chao, he did not know how he should bring it up.
Lu Siya observed his expression, and the smile on her lips grew wider.
"Looks like the two of you haven't found a suitable breakthrough?"
She placed her hands behind her back and said faintly, "Then, I have a rather immature suggestion. It's also the main reason why I went deep into the lair. Are you willing to listen to it?"
Xiong Wei and Su Lun said in unison, "Please speak, Ms. Lu."
"I can represent Sky Pillar Corporation and convince Poison Scorpion to support all of your plans as long as you help me do one thing."
A fierce light suddenly shone in Lu Siya's eyes. Her expression was completely different from a moment ago. She looked like a queen bee who had revealed her true colors.
She enunciated each word clearly and hissed, "Kill Meng Chao!"
Boom!
Behind the three of them, in the depths of the armored airship that had turned into scrap metal, the crystal engine finally exploded.
Crimson fireballs and pitch-black smoke rose from the shattered wreckage.
Fortunately, most of the high-grade crystals and powerful ammunition on the armored airship, especially the special incendiary bullets made of fire-type monster adhesive liquid, were all moved down. The explosion of the engine did not cause a sympathetic explosion.
The reinforcements and the armed gang members around them quickly went forward to put out the fire.
Covered by the thick smoke, Bear.Might and Su Lun felt like they were trapped in a maze.
"Ms. Lu, what … did you say?" Su Lun asked cautiously.
"You heard me clearly. Kill Meng Chao."
Once Lu Siya revealed her true identity as the Queen Bee, her presence became even more aggressive. She said coldly, "I thought that we were on the same side when it came to this matter. Or are you saying that you don't want to kill Meng Chao and take revenge for your favorite son, Gang Leader Xiong?"
"What a joke!"
Bear.Might gritted his teeth. "I want to skin Meng Chao alive and tear him to shreds!"
"All sorts of concrete evidence and witness testimonies point to one fact. Meng Chao has already betrayed Dragon City and turned into a despicable monster's puppet. His existence is a major threat to the lair and all of Dragon City."
Su Lun's mind raced. "If we want to solve the crisis in the lair, it'll be best if we can get rid of Meng Chao, but aren't Meng Chao and Ms. Lu …"
"Indeed. We were once good friends who went through thick and thin together. We fought together countless times and saved each other's lives. All of Dragon City can bear witness to our friendship," Lu Siya said.
"It's precisely because of this that I felt even more angry and hurt when I learned of his betrayal.
"He didn't just betray Dragon City and humans, he also betrayed my friendship with him and his past self!
"Now, many people call me a model superhuman. Of course, that's just a commercial promotion. I've never dared to call myself a model.
"But since I'm a superhuman, I have the responsibility and perseverance of a superhuman. As the saber of human civilization, I have to stand against monsters and their puppets. This is the most basic bottom line, isn't it?
"So, no matter how special our relationship is, I have to uphold justice before family. Is there a problem with that?"
Bear.Might and Su Lun looked at each other.
Lu Siya's words were of course righteous and absolutely correct. They could not find any flaws in them.
But no matter how they listened to it, it did not fit the persona of the Queen Bee!
"What? You don't believe me?" Lu Siya looked at them coldly.
Naturally, they did not believe her.
They could not say that they did not believe her either.
"That's right. If it was just because of something as ridiculous as betraying our friendship, there's no way I would have left the frontlines and run away from the spotlight of the media to come to a place like the lair!"
Lu Siya scowled and said angrily, "The point is, this hopeless idiot betrayed our common interests!
"Meng Chao is an idiot, an idiot, a bastard, a shameless, and an idiot! Just who does he think he is? What does he think he is?!
"He was originally just a normal, poor boy from the slums. Even if he had some talent in cultivation, there are plenty of poor boys with talent in Dragon City. Even if he managed to show off his talent during the practical test of the national college examination, without the support of an astronomical amount of cultivation resources, he would soon fade into the crowd!
"I was the one who recognized talent and dragged him out of the dirty and stinky kennel in Blessed Heavenly Garden. I brought him to carry out his first important mission!
"I was the one who saved him during the Red Radiance Jade tsunami and pushed him into the Blue Origin Crystal mine!
"I was the one who gave him a chance and introduced him to the abnormal beast research department as an off-staff member so that he could come into contact with higher-level missions and people!
"I was the one who begged my father and used Sky Pillar Minerals to sponsor his Broken Star Club. I helped him make the Broken Star Club stronger.
"I was the one who ran around and acted as a middleman. I even provided a bank guarantee to help his Superstar expand. I also introduced him to a lot of business deals so that Superstar could become bigger and stronger!
'I'm also the one who used the resources of the news media and social media to bind myself and him together. I promoted ourselves as a team and increased our mutual influence. That's how I managed to turn him into the leader of the Golden Generation while I became a model superhuman!
"Without me, what is he?! He's nothing! "
The more Lu Siya spoke, the angrier she became. Her voice and expression became fierce, and her eyes became bloodshot. Her originally bright and alluring beauty turned into a fierce and savage look.
Even Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, who had always been domineering, frowned a little and took half a step back without batting an eyelid.
But he did not interrupt Lu Siya.
Xiong Wei was not a patient and reasonable person.
But Lu Siya was a woman who was raging.
No matter how impatient and unreasonable a person was, they would usually not want to interrupt an angry woman.
"Yes, I admit that my motives weren't pure. I wanted to use Meng Chao."
Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and suppressed her anger, but the anger she gathered became even sharper. She gritted her teeth and said, "Nowadays, the Dragon Citizens are sick of the stories of rich people slaughtering their way through the streets. They think that we're too high above them and that we're not down to earth.
"Compared to us, who are born with a silver spoon in our mouths, they prefer stories of poor people like Meng Chao who came from the slums and started from nothing, rose to power, and overturned the rich.
"Alright, no problem. If the Dragon Citizens like commoner heroes, we'll create a commoner hero for them to like. We'll bind Meng Chao and I together for marketing, and it'll help me harvest the large commoner market and the female market behind Meng Chao. This is the biggest reason why I teamed up with him.
"I admit that this is a trade, but it's a very fair trade. Meng Chao obtained more benefits from the trade than I did, so there's nothing for him to be dissatisfied with.
"But that idiot … I don't know what kind of monster's excrement is in his skull. Did he get rich overnight and forget himself? Did he really think that he was the chosen one? That's why he developed ambitions that far surpassed his abilities, and in the end, he was bewitched by a few words from the abnormal beast?
'Bastard! That bastard deserves to be cut into pieces! It's fine if he joins the monsters. It doesn't matter even if he's eaten up by the monsters, but what about me? What should I do?!
"There's no one in Dragon City who doesn't know that he and I are the best partners. Since Raging Waves, our achievements have been tied together. I was even f * cking blind and looked for someone to write me an advert saying that I learned a lot about how to behave and how to do things from him, especially how to contribute to Dragon City. I-I practically bet everything on that bastard!
"But who would have thought that he would just betray Dragon City and leave me, the best partner, at a loss?
"He deserves to die, but do I have to lose my reputation with him and become the biggest joke in Sky Pillar Corporation, the Lu family, and even all of Dragon City?"
Xiong Wei and Su Lun were dumbfounded.
But their minds raced, and when they thought about it carefully, they found that Lu Siya's anger was very logical.
These words were the real truth, every single one of them was a bloody truth.
Both of them felt wronged for Lu Siya.
"Now, you should understand just how much I hate Meng Chao, right?"
Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. Her anger turned into a sharp blade that wanted to cut Meng Chao into pieces. "Gang Leader Xiong, you only lost your son because of Meng Chao, but I'm about to lose all my assets because of him, and I'll never be able to make a comeback!"
Xiong Wei snorted coldly.
He could be considered to have acknowledged Lu Siya's motives.
"No, I can't accept this! I can't lose everything and become the biggest joke in Dragon City!"
Lu Siya clenched her fists in the air as if she wanted to snap Meng Chao's neck. "As long as I kill Meng Chao, I might be able to turn this around," she said coldly.
