On the way back, the atmosphere on the helicopter was still very calm, but there was a bit of strange silence.
Gao Qi felt that he was still the same as before, but John and Han Ruofeng were both thinking about one thing, that was whether to give Gao Qi the treatment that a super strong person deserved.
Regardless of whether Gao Qi was a psychic or a magician, in short, he was really strong as long as he had the energy core in his hands, and this world was very respectful to the strong.
But the energy core that Gao Qi needed was in John's hands, so this was a bit awkward.
Treating Gao Qi as a super strong person, he was too poor and couldn't exert any of his strength.
Treating Gao Qi as a tool to be exploited, even if John had three times the courage, he wouldn't dare to do so.
After thinking about it, John felt that it was better to treat Gao Qi as a partner who could complement each other's strengths. Both sides were equal in status, and at worst, they could give Gao Qi a higher status, so that everyone could get along more easily in the future.
So it was very reasonable to say that the economic foundation determined the superstructure, at least for Gao Qi.
Then Han Ruofeng was even more embarrassed than John, because Gao Qi was his brother's subordinate, although this subordinate's performance was very promising, a subordinate was still a subordinate.
But now this subordinate had shown too much strength, it was definitely inappropriate to treat Gao Qi as a subordinate. So, Han Ruofeng thought about it and felt that it was better to treat Gao Qi as an equal and as his own brother.
In the future, Han Ruofeng would definitely not have the gap in status and sense of superiority. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't see the miserable situation that Gao Qi had caused, he really wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle in his heart.
Of course, no matter how powerful Gao Qi was, he was still the younger brother among the three of them. Everyone should be ranked according to age. As for making Gao Qi the elder brother because he was powerful, that was pure nonsense.
So no matter how powerful Gao Qi was, he could only be The Third Eldest Son in the future three giants of Zhaoxi City. Even in a world where strength was respected, there was always a moral code or something. If the son was more promising than the father, the father couldn't call the son father.
When the helicopter was about to reach Zhaoxi City, Han Ruofeng finally said, "A Screwdriver, when we land, this matter should be settled. You've killed Young Master Chen's people, and as an A-class paranormal, you'll appear in front of the chairman and the others. I reckon that no one in Zhaoxi City will dare to challenge you in the future. What do you want to do? Do you have any ideas now?"
Gao Qi had a rough idea in his heart. He whispered, "Boss Han, if I'm really an A-class paranormal, then it's fine for me to be the king of Zhaoxi City. Zhaoxi City will belong to the three of us in the future, but the problem is that I don't have an energy core."
At this point, Gao Qi and Han Ruofeng couldn't help but look at John.
John smiled awkwardly, then said helplessly, "It's better to make some things clear first. I'm a businessman, and I don't want to show too obvious a preference. I want to travel around the world and go to every city. If I directly participate in the change of ownership of a city, then my business will be difficult in the future."
Han Ruofeng whispered, "Can I borrow it first?"
Gao Qi quickly added, "That's right, I'll borrow your energy core for a while. It's useless for you to keep it anyway. You're still in the stockpile stage, so I won't use it anyway. I'm just confident."
John looked at Gao Qi, then at Han Ruofeng. He shook his head firmly and said, "Sorry, I don't accept credit."
Han Ruofeng said sincerely, "It's not like we won't return it. Besides, can you just consider it as us buying it? If we control the city, we can give you the money with just a word. "
John said helplessly, "The problem is, if you really control the city, will you still give me the money?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Then here's the problem. If I lend you the energy core and you use it to control Morning Dawn City, will I be considered an original shareholder? If that's the case, don't tell me you only intend to return the principal to me? My investment, my risk, and my capital, won't I get any return? "
Gao Qi and Han Ruofeng looked at each other. Then Gao Qi whispered, "Well, you can pay interest."
Han Ruofeng nodded, "Yes, you can pay interest."
"I'm not interested in controlling the city, but I have some questions to clarify. Do you really plan to control Morning Dawn City? How many people do you have? Can you really control the operation of the city? Or do you only plan to kill all the upper echelons of the city and destroy it completely? "
Han Ruofeng frowned, "This …"
John looked at Gao Qi. Gao Qi whispered, "We don't plan to rebuild Morning Dawn City from the ruins."
Hardedef smiled and said, "I'll give you a suggestion. Before you're ready, try not to show too much ambition. Gao Qi has a very strong destructive power now, but we all know what kind of foundation your destructive power is based on. I want to know, will this pack of energy cores be enough for you to control Dawnbreak City for a long time?"
After saying that, John asked Owen, "How many did he use just now?"
Owen opened his backpack and counted the energy cores carefully. Then he said seriously, "He used 24 energy cores, and two of them are A-class energy cores. The total value of these energy cores is at least 100,000 grams of gold."
Gao Qi opened his mouth in a daze. Owen continued, "Now we have 56 energy cores left, seven of which are A-grade and 12 of which are B-grade. According to the purchase price, the total value is about 300,000 grams of gold. According to our investment principle, we need to get back at least 1.5 million out of the 300,000."
John smiled, "Did you include the risk of war loans and high-risk investments?"
"If we calculate according to the war loans, we need to get back 3 million grams of gold."
John looked at Gao Qi and said with a smile, "If you really want to borrow it, I have to charge interest based on the highest level of risk. A return of ten times is the lowest rate of return for a legitimate businessman to make a high-risk investment, so …"
"Stop!"
Han Ruofeng raised his right hand and said seriously, "Stop talking. Ten times. Why don't you go rob a bank?"
"It's a cliché, but it really makes sense. Isn't this faster than robbing money?"
John answered Han Ruofeng's question very seriously, making Han Ruofeng speechless.
Gao Qi said helplessly, "Can't I just borrow a little?"
John smiled and said, "I strongly suggest that you don't do that. When you show super strength but lack follow-up strength, it will be very dangerous. It's really dangerous."
Gao Qi was puzzled, "Could it be that if I show super strength, people will still dare to provoke me?"
Hardedef smiled and said, "When you show your super strength and enter a whole new level, you will find that the trouble you encounter will increase accordingly. So, my advice is, well, don't be in a hurry to step into a field you don't understand."
Han Ruofeng frowned and said, "Don't beat around the bush. Be direct."
John said calmly, "Okay, I'll be direct. This world is more complicated than you think. It's not that easy to control a city. I don't think your current strength is good, so I have to control my risks. You want to do business, I welcome it, but I refuse to participate in any subversive activities. Do you think you'll be fine after becoming a Rank A Mutant? No, you won't. Becoming a Rank A Mutant is just the beginning. You still have to go through many tests before you can truly become the ruler of a city. "
After saying that, John smiled and said, "Do you think Dawnlight City is a cage? Maybe, but Dawnlight City also protects you. There are three strong people now. Grandpa Tree protects Jinling, and Jinling is Grandpa Tree's foundation. Light Devil Thomas helped Apple City rise, but Apple City is Thomas's strong backing. Only Red Square Tsar Vissarionovitch truly controls his city, but he killed almost all his opponents. Can you really kill more than half of a city's population? "
Gao Qi hesitated. Han Ruofeng immediately said, "What about Saint Nadak?"
"She hasn't been proven, but she's controlled by Iron Tower City. Because she's a Wasteland Dweller, she and Iron Tower City depend on each other."
Han Ruofeng looked at Gao Qi and said, "Do you think Gao Qi has been proven?"
John smiled and said, "The video I released is evidence, but it's far from enough, because you still need to be tested by someone."
Gao Qi was confused and said, "Test? Who? "
John sighed and said, "You see, this is what I meant when I said that you'll face new tests when you enter a new field. Don't you know how … boring Grandpa Tree is? He's very willing to test the strength of a new Rank A Mutant for the world. He's a madman full of fighting spirit. In some ways, he's a very annoying guy. "
Gao Qi's face turned pale and said, "Damn! Don't tell me … "
John nodded and said seriously, "That's right. When I release the video, Grandpa Tree will look for you. He'll definitely look for you!"
Things seemed to be getting a little troublesome. Gao Qi and Han Ruofeng were speechless, but their eyes were full of vigilance.
John smiled and said, "I plan to release the video in the future, because I still need to stock up on energy cores. But if you occupy Chaoxi City now, uh, I think some things will be revealed in advance."
Han Ruofeng immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. Chaoxi City is very stable. This is … uh, how do I put it?"
Gao Qi immediately said, "Anyway, we don't plan to occupy the city. Um, I want to know how powerful an Rank A Mutant is."
John's face turned serious. He thought for a while and said, "Well, an Rank A Mutant. If you can continue like that without the help of energy cores, then you're an Rank A Mutant. Basically, an Rank A Mutant is equivalent to a Holy Beast."
Gao Qi thought for a while and said in a low voice, "I think it's better to keep a low profile. Don't release the video …"
Han Ruofeng quickly nodded and said, "Low profile, we must keep a low profile!"
