"Not good, Brother Yao!"
Li Jialing said anxiously, "The Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors has internal strife again. Jin Yuyan … He —"
"Are you serious?"
Li Yao sat up straight and bulged his eyes. "Please don't tell me that Jin Yuyan was assassinated again, right?"
"Not exactly."
Li Jialing took a long breath and paused for a moment before he said, "However, it may be even worse than him being assassinated. In my opinion, he might as well have been killed by a gunshot! All the trade data in the core database of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors has been cleared, messed up, and covered! "
"What!"
Li Yao felt that he had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone.
The core trade data of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors concerned the interests of countless Immortal Cultivators. It was the greatest reason why thousands of experts were willing to fight for the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. It was even the only reason why the free coin was valuable.
It was exactly because the free coin could be exchanged for almost all the resources and magical equipment through the trade network of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors that it was acknowledged by the entire world of Immortal Cultivators and more reliable than the legal currency of the Imperium.
If the trade network of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors collapsed, and all the core trade data was gone or messed up, it would mean the collapse of the free coin and the collapse of all the Immortal Cultivators' confidence in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Who would be willing to fight for the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors?
Of course, even if all the data collapsed, it would be restored in a couple of days.
However, at such a critical moment, when the coalition fleet of the four families was about to march right to the nose of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, such a mess was no different from a catastrophe.
All the Immortal Cultivators did not need to lose confidence in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. As long as twenty to thirty percent of the Immortal Cultivators lost confidence, a catastrophic chain reaction would be triggered.
"How did this happen?"
His face pale, Li Yao shouted, "Shouldn't the core trade data of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors be the most confidential stuff? Even I have a headache when I see the more than seventy defense measures. How could they have been sabotaged so easily?"
"No one knows what happened."
Li Jialing said quickly, "The series of explosions at the beginning was just a disguise to distract everybody's attention. When everybody, including Jin Yuyan, searched for the mastermind of the explosions, the central database of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors was compromised uncannily. Also, the enemy had the highest permissions of Jin Yuyan and injected almost a hundred viruses of the latest crystal processors, destroying all the data as quickly as possible. By the time the specialists of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors discovered it, the loss was already irreversible. It would take three to five days, or at least forty-eight hours, to recover!
"To make matters worse, after the enemy cleared the core trade data of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, they also injected tremendous other information, mostly the clandestine scandals and deals of the leadership of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, including many of Jin Yuyan's scandals. Everybody was panicked and suspicious of each other!"
The survival of the fittest was the fundamental law that all the Immortal Cultivators abided by. It was the same for the Immortal Cultivators of the four families and the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. None of them were benevolent at all.
Having risen from a nobody to the position of director of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors in only a hundred years, Jin Yuyan had certainly done a lot of backstabbing and backstabbing in the dark.
As for buying at a low price and selling at a high price, hoarding, double-dealing, and even employing assassin groups to completely annihilate their competitors in the business world, such things were nothing out of the ordinary. Some of them even violated the double rules of the business world and the Immortal Cultivators.
All the senior managers, managers, shareholders, and partners were the same. Who of them had never had blood on their hands when they walked in and out of the high society in glamorous clothes? The unwritten rule was that as long as they cleaned up the mess and didn't leave any evidence behind, no one would take it seriously.
After all, the victors were not punished!
However, once someone took out solid evidence and put it in front of everyone, it was another matter altogether.
Right now, not just Jin Yuyan, but also the other four senior managers and many common managers had been exposed to the public and sent to all the important shareholders and partners through the internal network of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Even the warlords, Sector Masters, and local tyrants at the edge of the Imperium were in the hands of them.
It was not until then that a lot of people finally woke up from their dream, learning that a certain batch of their goods had been swallowed by a certain scumbag who was sitting opposite them in a certain year, and that a certain shocking assassination that shocked the entire world of Immortal Cultivators was initiated by Jin Yuyan. Also, how many sordid, shameless, and despicable approaches did Jin Yuyan embezzle the interests of so many shareholders and partners in order to climb to the throne that was stained with blood step by step?
It was truly like a stone that raised a thousand ripples. Even though a great enemy was right in front of them, nobody could hold themselves back. They all denounced Jin Yuyan. Some of them even attacked each other directly.
"It's Wuying Qinxin. No, it's Wuying Qi who remotely controls her brain!"
Li Yao's face was so awful that he looked like a poisoned frog. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Wuying Qinxin and Jin Yuyan have been husband and wife for a hundred years. Many clandestine deals of the latter were operated by the former. Naturally, Wuying Qinxin has abundant evidence.
"As for the highest permissions that Jin Yuyan used to modify the central database, hehe, when Wuying Qinxin helped Jin Yuyan implement the 'Soul Transfer Technique', she was naturally able to scan Jin Yuyan's brain and soul and analyze and copy the soul signatures.
"I wonder how long she — he — has been planning the whole scheme. The question is what he wants exactly. Like I said, it will do him no good to ruin Jin Yuyan or even the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. It's not like he wants to die together with the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors and let the four families take advantage of the situation, right?"
"Brother Yao, what do you mean?"
Li Jialing asked in surprise, "I don't understand. How is this related to Wuying Qi? Shouldn't Wuying Qi know nothing about what happened in the Seven Seas Grand Market? If he had known it in advance, why would he have let the Seven Seas Grand Market fall into chaos? The messier this place is, the more disadvantageous the situation will be for him!"
"Exactly. I think so too."
Li Yao said with a bitter smile, "That's the most suspicious point and the key to cracking the scheme. However, let's not rush into the deduction just yet. Tell me, has Jin Yuyan got the situation under control?"
"The situation on the ground is under control, though."
Li Jialing said worriedly, "But the situation in the space battlefield couldn't have been worse!"
Li Jialing told Li Yao that Jin Yuyan had been the director for decades after all, and he had a lot of trusted subordinates and supporters in the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. Even though he was faced with such an unfavorable situation, he did not panic but tried his best to cede tremendous interests without blinking, winning the understanding and support of a lot of big shots. He also punished the people who were involved in the conflict and tried to escape heavily, maintaining the order on the surface of the Seven Seas Grand Market.
The cannons and explosions that they heard were exactly the troops loyal to Jin Yuyan suppressing the people who were occupying the spaceports and trying to escape.
However, while Jin Yuyan could control the order on the surface of the Seven Seas Grand Market, he could not control people's hearts and confidence, especially the hearts of the local warlords who were wavering at the edge of the Seven Seas Space Zone and observing the situation.
In the battle of Seven Seas, the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors had been fighting for morale and confidence despite being outnumbered. They had to win the battle unstoppably.
If anything went wrong on the way, most of the wavering warlords and local warlords would not be on their side, and they would definitely be no match for the coalition fleet of the four families with only the strength of their own troops.
However, the mess that was caused right now was not just about "any mistake". Half of the sky was collapsing.
The softness of the business class, its compromises, and its swaying and changeable characteristics were on full display at this moment.
Hearing the news that the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors had internal strife and that tremendous core trade data had been altered and erased, a lot of warlords and local warlords immediately turned hostile and tore apart all the agreements that they had reached with the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, waging fierce battles against the fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors for real.
The fleets that were cruising lazily at the edge of the Seven Seas Space Zone seemed to have been injected with stimulants too. They were all refreshed and approached Yun Xuefeng's general flagship, hoping to be the first to break into the Seven Seas Grand Market to show their loyalty to the four families. They would also be able to loot as much as they wanted.
When it came to such things, as long as someone took the lead, there would definitely be a lot of followers. Even the Immortal Cultivators who did not intend to break the agreements had no reason to die together with the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors when they saw that other people were on the four families' side and that the victory was more and more in the four families' favor.
"All in all, the situation on the space battlefield right now is very bad. After only half a day, more and more warlords are on the four families' side again. Even though they are not blatantly hostile to the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors yet, they have significantly reduced the space of activities of the garrison fleet of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors. They are basically putting a saber to the neck of the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors, and they can bleed at any moment."
Li Jialing said helplessly, "Just now, the entire Seven Seas Grand Market was in chaos, and we couldn't find you. Many people are saying that even the 'Black Wind King' fled when he saw that the situation was not good. Some are even saying that Brother Yao is a fake Black Wind King and that Jin Yuyan made you up as a bluff. The so-called Black Wind Fleet was nowhere to be seen. Such rumors cannot stop the collapse of confidence at all!"
"Understood. What about Boss Bai?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and asked calmly, "Has Boss Bai sent any message? Has he been exposed?"
"Not yet. Seeing that the situation was not good, Boss Bai chose to continue being Yun Xuefeng's' loyal subject 'as soon as possible. So, he hasn't been exposed yet."
