Meng Chao knew what happened next a long time ago.
After Su Lun joined Golden Tooth, he quickly showed astonishing talent in operations and management.
Not only did he manage to sort out Golden Tooth's complicated and old system and develop a brand new operation model and profit point, he also brought about a revolution in the lair, which changed the image of the lair being dirty, messy, and bad. It attracted a large number of citizens to trade and spend their money there.
The projects such as Mutual Gold Coliseum not only allowed the gangs to benefit equally, but also promoted harmony among the gangs. Objectively speaking, it also helped maintain the order in the lair and Dragon City.
Due to his contributions and his personal relationship with Saber Jin Wanhao, within just a few short years, Su Lun managed to secure his position as the vice gang leader of Golden Tooth even though he was an outsider. He even gained the title of God of Wealth in the lair.
If it were any other normal person, they would have been satisfied with the fact that they had reached the top in one step from being a nameless university graduate to being the right-hand man of the Underground Emperor of Dragon City.
But to Su Lun, his current position was still so far away from his goal of destroying Heaven Pharmaceuticals that it was hopelessly far away.
Su Lun told Meng Chao that after he entered the lair and discovered a lot of secrets that could not be brought to light, he soon realized that he chose a dead end.
At the very least, there were two problems that he could not solve on this path.
First, the gangs were not as independent as he had imagined them to be.
He originally thought that the gangs were a force that could fight against the mega corporations. As long as he solved the problem of internal strife between the gangs, the lair would rise to power.
But soon, he realized that the gangs were just subordinates of the mega corporations. Their resources and orders were all controlled by the mega corporations.
It was only because the mega corporations wanted to clear their name after they completed their bloody accumulation that they separated a lot of gray and even black businesses and handed them to the gangs to manage.
"When you are in the world of martial artists, you have to do whatever you want." This was not an empty saying.
Even Saber Jin Wanhao, who was the Underground Emperor and the master of the lair, was often suppressed, controlled, and on high alert by the mega corporations.
The second problem was Jin Wanhao's injuries and age.
If there was a chance of solving the first problem, then that hope lay in Saber Jin Wanhao.
Su Lun told Meng Chao that the Underground Emperor of Dragon City had a wild personality and astonishing ambition. He was definitely not someone who was willing to become a puppet of the mega corporations. He was constantly thinking about breaking free of the mega corporations' control so that the lair could rise to become the tenth force of power aside from the nine great cultivation families. In fact, they could even become the strongest force of power.
There was no need for Su Lun to instigate him. Saber Jin Wanhao was the firmest opponent of the nine great mega corporations.
This was also an important reason why Jin Wanhao dared to secretly take Su Lun's mother in as his personal apothecary even though he knew that she had offended the Heaven Pharmacy.
In front of Jin Wanhao, Su Lun did not need to hide his hostility towards the Heaven Pharmacy.
This enmity that had long since fermented into venom was the reason why Jin Wanhao trusted and admired Su Lun even more.
The problem was Jin Wanhao's injury and age.
He had been a hooligan at the bottom of the lair, but he had slaughtered his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood until he became the Underground Emperor. His life of fighting for decades left him with plenty of pain and scars.
Even if Su Lun's mother had carefully created gene medicine and a secret cultivation room based on Jin Wanhao's physical condition, she could only delay his death.
No matter how good the gene medicine was, it could not make him return to his youth and recover without medicine.
Jin Wanhao was just too old.
Even if his ambition was as hot as magma, his battered body was no longer enough to support his ambition. He wanted to erupt like a volcano and break free of the mega corporations' control.
Perhaps this was an important reason why he was willing to let go of Golden Tooth in just a few years and let Su Lun control Golden Tooth.
Jin Wanhao knew that his death was near, and he had to consider whether Golden Tooth would still exist after he died.
Su Lun did not want to see Jin Wanhao die more than anyone else.
At the very least, he did not want Jin Wanhao to die so quickly.
As an outsider, a few short years were far from enough for him to build a strong foundation in the lair.
If he only had brains and no brawn, it would be difficult for him to become the final winner after Jin Wanhao died and the strange and unpredictable upheaval.
The worst thing was that to produce results in the shortest amount of time, he used a lot of innovative methods that would allow him to gain instant benefits. He offended a lot of people and harmed the interests of many of his gang members, including Song Jinbo.
As long as Jin Wanhao died, these people would definitely launch a crazed counterattack. This was something that was set in stone.
If he left the lair, he would be able to keep his life.
But all his hard work would be in vain. He would be branded by the lair, and he would never be able to take revenge and stand out!
During that period of time, Red Brows Su Lun was the most dazzling star in the lair.
As the God of Wealth, he was even more popular than the Underground Emperor, who rarely came out.
But when it was quiet and he tossed and turned in bed, he was the only one who could clearly taste the pain of being burned by the demonic flames of hell.
The Vortex appeared in front of Su Lun in that sort of situation.
In the beginning, Su Lun was naturally shocked and instinctively wanted to fight against the monster.
However, since he only had average martial arts skills, he was soon knocked to the ground by the Vortex.
Against his expectations, the Vortex did not kill or eat him, and it did not brainwash him like the official developers claimed. It did not implant terrifying things into the back of his head, ears, or eyes.
The Vortex only asked him one question.
"Were your parents killed by monsters?"
This seemed like a simple question, but it stumped the ace student from Dragon City University.
Who was a friend and who was a foe was supposed to be a natural and unquestionable truth.
But now, it had become blurry and twisted.
"Now, do you understand? I had no choice! "
Su Lun laughed like a wild beast again. "I originally wanted to use an honorable method to defeat Heaven Pharmaceuticals in the business world.
"I also thought about using a less honorable method to become the master of the lair and use the power of the lair to fight against the mega corporations.
"In fact, I'm even willing to lower my bottom line. I don't want to destroy Heaven Pharmaceuticals, but I want to tell the truth about what happened in the past to the public. I want to tell the tens of millions of Dragon Citizens that Heaven Pharmaceuticals stole my family's gene medicine formula. I just want my innocence and justice!
"Unfortunately, under the suffocating monopoly and control of the mega corporations, I couldn't do anything.
"I was trapped. I was surrounded by dead ends that intersected with each other like a spider's web.
"Aside from asking for help from the monster civilization, what other way did I have to take revenge for my parents?
"Tell me, Meng Chao, aren't you smart? Aren't you better than me? Think about it. If you were me, what other methods would you use to seek justice for your parents?!"
"Usually, I refuse to answer hypothetical questions, but what happened to your parents is indeed pitiful. The phenomenon of the mega corporations monopolizing everything and hiding the truth from the masses is indeed a chronic problem that Dragon City urgently needs to solve. That's why I can answer you."
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he said, "If I ran into something like this and I had my current strength, I would lay low and continue to train and fight madly. I would also secretly investigate all the people who were involved in the case in the past and find out who the culprit was.
"When I thought that the time was right, I would sneak into their homes without anyone noticing. Then, based on the severity of the crimes they committed in the past, I would carry out different punishments. If it was light, I would break their limbs, but if it was heavy, I would kill them. That's about it, right?"
"That's easy for you to say."
Su Lun snorted coldly. "What if you were like me and didn't have the strength to even truss up a chicken?"
"Then, I had no other choice."
Meng Chao sighed. "Then, I could only bear with it and wait for the right time. When the culprit appeared in public, it would be best if he appeared in a very important and high-end business venue. Then, I would throw a bucket of monster poop at him.
"I believe that regardless of whether I managed to throw it at him or not, the media and social media would definitely be very interested in the reason why I threw poop at him."
"…"
Su Lun was dumbfounded again.
It was just like how he had been when he realized that the person pretending to be Meng Chao was still Meng Chao.
"Besides, I think that the chances of you hitting him are higher," Meng Chao said.
"No matter what, you're a superhuman. No matter how lazy you are, as long as you practice hard day and night, you'll be able to learn a few moves.
"Burn your life and train madly. You don't need to practice anything else. You just need to practice throwing poop. You need to master it and be flawless. If you catch them off guard, I believe that no matter how high their cultivation realm is, you will be able to throw poop at them. At that time, regardless of whether you face the media or the judge, you can tell them your motives and the grudge you had in the past."
"What kind of revenge is that?!"
Su Lun could not help but shout.
"This is the best revenge. You'll let the public know the truth, but you won't stop yourself from starting a brand new life. You won't hurt a single innocent person either. Isn't that much better than what you're doing right now?"
Meng Chao sighed and stared at Su Lun. "Su Lun, things have already progressed to this point. Have you ever thought about how your parents would definitely not want to see you use this method to take revenge for them? Not only will you destroy yourself, but you'll also destroy countless innocent citizens who have nothing to do with you. You'll also destroy all their hopes, blessings, and expectations for you.
"I believe that when your father fought against monsters in the wild and when your mother lived in humiliation to save up for your education fund, they might have imagined all sorts of things about you in the future, but none of them showed you being a demon who destroyed Dragon City!"
