Chapter 1637: Blood for Blood!
Meng Chao took a deep breath and opened several of the largest news forums in Dragon City.
As expected, news of The Bright Light’s explosion was like a hurricane that swept away thousands of soldiers, stirring up everyone’s emotions.
“This is a conspiracy! It’s a trap! It’s a ma.s.sacre!” someone roared hysterically.
“I knew it. Universe Corporation isn’t sincere at all. On the surface, they promised to show the expert investigation team everything, but in reality, they installed crystal bombs on the armored airship! The Shen family are murderers. They’re the ones who single-handedly orchestrated this appalling tragedy!”
“Not only that, but this tragedy also didn’t just occur due to the Shen family’s desperation to cover up their crimes!”
Some people speculated, “The Shen family did this on purpose. Their goal was to gather the elites among the ordinary people in Dragon City and capture them all in one fell swoop!
“No one knows how much sweat and tears ordinary elites like Su Yidong have to shed and how much they have to sacrifice to barely keep up with the superhumans.
“They were the ordinary people’s greatest hope.
“But due to this despicable plot, they were obliterated in midair.
“It will take at least ten years, or even forever, for dozens of elites like Su Yidong to appear again amongst the ordinary people of Dragon City!”
“Citizens, stop being delusional and open your eyes wide. Look at the city in front of you, which has changed beyond recognition!”
Someone took the opportunity to encourage them, “Those superhumans from wealthy families have torn off their mask of tenderness and put aside the lies of their so-called ‘compatriots,’ revealing their wild ambition to rule Dragon City forever!
“Today, the tragedy that happened in the sky above the airport was a demonstration from the so-called ‘peerless fighters.’ They’re trying to tell us in the cruelest way that whoever dares to investigate their secrets and the mega corporations will end up like Su Yidong and the rest!
“Wake up, citizens. The painful lessons throughout our b.l.o.o.d.y history have told us numerous times that not all human beings are the same. The struggles between the same race who exploit, enslave, and devour each other are often a hundred times crueler than the struggles between different races!
“If you don’t want your children to live in a world where the superhumans of the rich and powerful families rule over everything forever, if you don’t want your children to be forever dependent on them and be exploited as well as abused by them while you have to put on an act and cheer for them, then stand up and shout. Take advantage of the fact that everything can still be changed!”
“The murderer must pay the price!”
Someone even called out, “Let’s go to Universe Corporation’s headquarters and make this group of butchers pay in blood!”
Those burning words made Meng Chao’s temples throb continuously. Fresh blood was about to burst through his blood vessels and skin, shooting out from both sides of his temples.
He knew that something big had happened this time.
If he did not handle it properly and caused tens of thousands of furious citizens to attack Universe Corporation’s headquarters, what happened next would make the incident at the Xinhui Business Center a few days ago seem like child’s play.
“No, no, no.
“It couldn’t have been the Shen family and Universe Corporation.
“Shen Yuanbao is definitely not a simple-minded boor with developed limbs. He was the one who invited the investigation team to Red Creek Valley. He has no motive at all. Killing the investigation team would push the business empire that his family has worked hard for his entire life into an abyss that is beyond redemption!
“Similarly, no matter how much the Shen Yuanbiao or the other successors fought for power and benefits, a complete, stable, and powerful Universe Corporation has always been their main priority. No one would be so stupid!
“What about the other eight mega corporations?
“It is possible.
“After all, the expert investigation team was not just going for Universe Corporation’s Red Creek Valley. With Shen Yuanbao helping them in the dark, the investigation team’s authority and scope of investigation could be extended to other companies at any time.
“However, as long as the heads of the other eight mega corporations still have functioning brain cells, they should be able to imagine that killing the investigation team in front of everyone would not only fail to solve the root problem but incite the anger of all citizens instead. It might even trigger an intense backlash from the Supernatural Tower, which would harm the interests of all superhumans.
“After all, the Supernatural Tower sent the expert investigation team as their representatives. The murderer’s actions are equivalent to slapping the Supernatural Tower hard in the face. Do they really think that Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao and the other fighters who are in charge of the Supernatural Tower are all saintly men and women who eat vegetarian food and pray to Buddha? Do they think they can do whatever they want?
“So, the chances of the other eight mega corporations risking the world turning against them are very low.
“That’s it…”
Lightning-like brilliance flashed in Meng Chao’s eyes.
He had already deduced the attacker’s motive.
It was not to cover up the truth about the explosion of the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse at all.
On the contrary, the attacker wanted to stir up all of the citizens’ fury through such appalling means in broad daylight. Then, he would let the so-called inside story ferment, burn, and explode.
In the end, he would have thoroughly incited the conflict between the ordinary people and superhumans, the humble and wealthy families, as well as the Azure Alliance and nine mega corporations, causing Dragon City to once again fall into chaotic disorder and bloodshed!
Who had the most motive to do such a thing?
Of course, it was the monster remnants, the tenth Supernatural Ent.i.ty!
The monster civilization had already suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefront.
Now, the monster remnants would only have the chance to fish in troubled waters and rise again if Dragon City fell into chaos!
As Meng Chao thought about it, he heard an earth-shattering roar from outside.
He gripped the binoculars placed in front of the window and looked at the street.
In order to facilitate Shen Yuanbao with surveillance, his safe house had been set up in an office building not far from Universe Corporation’s headquarters.
From that angle, he could clearly see the scene in front of Universe Corporation’s headquarters and the surrounding three to four streets without activating his super vision.
At that moment, the entire street was completely packed with angry people.
Countless ordinary people, whose individual strength was not even worth mentioning before a superhuman, formed a boiling tide and erupted with a crushing aura as they surged toward Universe Corporation’s headquarters.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Meng Chao felt that Universe Corporation’s ninety-nine-story headquarters was like a giant wearing silver armor. At first glance, it looked like it was standing tall, but in reality, it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. It trembled under the angry roars of the several thousand people.
