"Got it."
Su Lun's mind raced, and he nodded slowly. "Ms. Lu, do you want to personally kill Meng Chao to minimize the negative effects of this matter?"
"Wrong. Meng Chao must die, but he won't die in my hands, and neither will he die in your hands. He will die under the fangs and claws of monsters," Lu Siya said faintly.
Xiong Wei and Su Lun were stunned.
"This is the plot …" Lu Siya smiled.
Lu Siya smiled. "Meng Chao, the leader of the Golden Generation who has risked his life multiple times for Dragon City, took the initiative to volunteer himself to carry out the most dangerous mission in the lair.
"During the mission, he ran into the smartest and most sinister abnormal beast in history and uncovered a major scheme that concerned Dragon City's survival.
"To protect Dragon City and save millions of humans, when he was faced with a choice between life and death, he chose to die together with the abnormal beast without hesitation. He used his life and will to crush the monster civilization's last-ditch counterattack and died a heroic death.
"Meng Chao might have sacrificed himself, but as his closest comrade, I will definitely inherit his will and carry out his spirit. I will continue fighting as tenaciously as he did until the last monster becomes a delicacy on the human dining table or a pet under our feet.
"What do you think of this story?"
Xiong Wei and Su Lun looked at each other.
They realized that Queen Bee Lu Siya was much more sinister and shameless than they imagined.
"Meng Chao will definitely die, but he can't die as a traitor. Regardless of whether it's me, my father, or all of Sky Pillar Corporation, we've spent a lot of money on him. Once the news that he's the monster's puppet spreads out, we'll all lose everything!"
"I gave up on the battlefield at the borders of Dragon City and the chance to kill monsters under the spotlight so that I could be in the limelight. I ran to the strange and unfathomable swamp in the lair to stop my losses and get back the investment the Lu family made.
"Meng Chao is a hero. This is the common knowledge of many interest groups. Once this consensus is broken, many people will lose their source of wealth. Cutting off a person's source of wealth is the same as killing their parents. No one wants to kill my parents, right?"
Bear.Might snorted lightly.
'Meng Chao must die a heroic death. It's only by doing so that I can inherit his will and his power in the Broken Star Club and Blue Home. I can also inherit the worship of the millions of teenagers at the bottom of society who grew up in the slums. Of course, I can also inherit Superstar.'
When Lu Siya said this, the smile on her lips became even more mysterious and enchanting. She paused for a moment before she continued, "If that's the case, the bad thing will turn into a good thing. My popularity might even be higher than when Meng Chao was alive."
Su Lun thought about it carefully and frowned a little. "But the news of Meng Chao killing Bullet Xue Rui, Rattlesnake Xiang Wei, and the heir of Black Bone has already spread out. Many people know about it."
"Most of the people who know about this are lair citizens who heard about it through the grapevine. There shouldn't be many who saw it with their own eyes, right?"
"The only ones who saw it with their own eyes are Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong, Snake Eye Mo Lan, and some armed gang members.
"Zhou Chong and Mo Lan are lifelong employees of an insurance company under a mega corporation. Their high retirement funds are in the hands of the mega corporation, so I naturally have a way to convince them not to say or do anything.
"As for the armed gang members, I'll have to trouble you.
"Right now, the situation in the lair is really chaotic, and no one knows what the truth is. As long as we can win this battle beautifully, we will have the right to speak. Whoever we believe to be a hero will be a hero who will face death calmly, and whoever we label as a traitor will be a traitor who will be condemned by the people. Don't you think this makes sense?"
Su Lun's eyes wandered about.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons of the entire matter.
Xiong Wei's eyes burned red, and he hissed, "Meng Chao killed my son, and I'm supposed to cover up his crimes and make him a hero?"
"That's right. I don't care what Meng Chao's body looks like. If you're interested, once you capture him, you can tie him up in Black Bone's dungeon and use a knife that's like an ear scoop to dig out his flesh bit by bit. After digging for three to five days, you can apply the best ointment on his wounds so that they can heal. After another three to five days, you can continue digging. You can torture him like this for three to five months or even three to five years. As long as you're happy, I don't mind," Lu Siya said nonchalantly.
"But Meng Chao's reputation doesn't just belong to himself. It concerns all of Superstar and the business we're working together in.
"Over the past few years, Superstar has been trying to take over a lot of companies that are bigger than it. It's only natural that it needs a lot of support from banks and investors.
"Among them, the guarantors for a few of the bank loans are the companies under my name and my father's Sky Pillar Minerals.
"If Meng Chao's identity as a traitor is exposed, Superstar will definitely be done for, and I'll be done for. My father will also suffer a major blow to his foundation, and the competitors in the family will be eyeing him with hostility.
"Gang Leader Xiong, I can understand how you feel when you lose your son and how pained it is, but I hope that you can understand how I feel. I absolutely don't want to lose even a single cent, just like how you don't want to see your child lose even a finger!"
Xiong Wei's eyelids twitched.
He was hesitating.
He was trying to determine just how trustworthy Lu Siya's threat was and just how severe the losses would be.
The results of his assessment were that if Meng Chao really betrayed Dragon City spread out, Queen Bee Lu Siya's losses would be so great that she would lose her mind and do everything in her power to save him.
However, as a senior who had commanded the lair for decades, he found it embarrassing to be convinced by a junior who was not even thirty years old with just a few words.
Phantom Bear Xiong Wei needed a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"Besides, without my help, do you think that Meng Chao would be captured so easily?
"No one knows Meng Chao better than I do. He's someone who stood out among millions of ambitious youngsters in Dragon City, so he's definitely not an ordinary person.
"Right now, Meng Chao's master is the abnormal beast who orchestrated the explosion in Leprosy Village. He's lurking in the dark and planning an even more fatal scheme. We don't have a lot of time to waste.
"Gang Leader Xiong, even if you're born and raised in the lair, you must be confident that you can find and capture Meng Chao within the shortest amount of time in the lair, which is as complicated as a 3D maze.
"What if Meng Chao's scheme succeeds or doesn't succeed and he manages to flee to the depths of the wild controlled by the monster civilization? When will you be able to capture him? Gang Leader Xiong, can you afford to wait?"
Xiong Wei thought about it for a long time before he said with a dark expression, "Ms. Lu, do you have a way to capture him?"
"Of course."
Lu Siya smiled and said calmly, "Over the past two years, we've been fighting together, and we've gone through countless life and death situations together. No one in all of Dragon City knows his fighting style better than I do. His way of thinking, the places he might hide, and the routes he will take to attack and defend himself.
"Besides, he doesn't know that I've come to an agreement with you two, but he still trusts me.
"Isn't that trust the reason for his death?"
Xiong Wei and Su Lun looked at each other.
Both of their expressions began to waver.
"Of course, the so-called deal is that you help me, and I help you. It's a win-win situation."
Lu Siya struck while the iron was hot. "If you're willing to help me, my father and I, along with all of Sky Pillar Corporation, will be willing to support you.
"Saber Jin Wanhao's body isn't in good condition. This is something the outside world has long since heard about. When the Underground Emperor was young, he killed too many people and was injured too many times. It's already a miracle in the medical field that he managed to last until he's on the brink of death. The outside world has long since been prepared to welcome the post-Jim Wanhao era and the impact of the turmoil in the lair.
"I didn't expect that Golden Tooth would be in good order over the past few years under Vice Gang Leader Su's management. It's getting better by the day, and even the conflicts between the gangs in the lair have decreased by a lot. We've also developed a lot of new profit points and created a lot of jobs. Through high technology and a variety of channels, we've gotten rid of the hostility from the people at the bottom of the hierarchy.
"Right now, the greatest threats in Dragon City are the monsters and the millions of unemployed people at the bottom of the hierarchy who have nothing to do.
"To the order in Dragon City controlled by the nine great mega corporations, the latter is an even bigger problem than the former.
"The existence of the lair is a great outlet for the people at the bottom of the hierarchy.
"That's why the nine great mega corporations don't want to see the lair descend into chaos, and neither do we want to see the lair completely disappear.
"If the lair can remain in the hands of good friends like Gang Leader Xiong and Vice Gang Leader Su, who can see the big picture, focus on the big picture, and can get along well with us, and you can always do your best to protect the internal order in Dragon City, then the nine great mega corporations will be able to expand our territory at ease and expand the living space of our civilization.
"Do you think that's the case?"
Lu Siya's long and narrow eyes curled up into a smile.
A few wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes.
But there was not a hint of a smile in her eyes.
She extended her right hand to them and opened it slightly.
It looked like she wanted to shake their hands, but it also looked like she was grabbing a sharp blade that did not exist but could spill blood at any moment.
Even Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, did not hesitate for long.
Red Brows Su Lun immediately held Lu Siya's hand tightly.
"Ms. Lu, you're really thoughtful," Su Lun said sincerely.
"Indeed, Meng Chao is already the flag bearer of the younger generation in the superhuman circle. His reputation doesn't just belong to him, it belongs to the entire Golden Generation. It doesn't matter if his reputation is ruined, but it will deal a severe blow to Dragon City's morale. It will shatter the dreams of millions of youngsters.
"That's why we have to kill Meng Chao's body, but we have to protect his reputation as well. This is the way to look at the big picture. Golden Tooth and I completely agree with your suggestion!"
"Black Bone naturally knows the importance of maintaining order."
Xiong Wei held Lu Siya's hand as well and swung it hard, but he said indignantly, "But Meng Chao has it easy!"
"Gang Leader Xiong, don't be angry. Just treat it as giving me face."
Lu Siya sighed softly. A faint hint of regret appeared on her face, and she seemed to have squeezed out half a crystalline tear from her eye. "No matter what, Meng Chao was once my best friend and savior. He can betray our friendship, but I'm a kind person, so I still hope that he can leave with dignity."
