Chapter 1650: The Good Guy
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The loud and clear military order threw the Deity Realm warriors into deep thought.
Yun Feidian was not satisfied yet, so he added, “As long as we prove that Lu Siya’s an evil monster, we can follow the clues and catch all the monster organizations lurking in Dragon City.
“If my judgment is correct, Lu Siya will definitely regard the higher-ups of the Azure Alliance as her priority target. The Azure Alliance’s headquarters is the nest of the monster remnants. Give me seventy-two hours. With the elites under you, we can at least catch ten monsters in human skin from their headquarters. By then, the so-called Azure Alliance will be destroyed!”
His words struck the hearts of a majority of the Deity Realm warriors there.
Their eyes all lit up.
Even Lei Tianming’s gaze on Yun Feidian was completely different from before.
But if they truly wanted to capture Lu Siya, there was a Deity Realm fighter they could not avoid no matter what.
“President Lu, what do you think?”
On behalf of the many Deity Realm warriors, Lei Tianming looked at an unremarkable Deity Realm warrior at one corner of the long conference table.
The words “unremarkable” and “Deity Realm warrior” usually did not go together.
However, the founder of Sky Pillar Corporation, Lu Siya’s biological grandfather and the President of Dragon City’s Crystal a.s.sociation, Lu Zhongqi, was indeed the most unusual among the older generation of Deity Realm warriors.
Most of the Deity Realm fighters in Dragon City started out in the military.
Whether it was Shen Yuanbao or Lei Tianming, they were both tough men who had the guts to fight. They dared to put their lives on the line and entered combat.
While they had surpa.s.sed the standard of ordinary people in the fields of management, military science, mechanical dynamics, astrophysics, automatic control, and so on, it was because they had absorbed abundant spirit energy from the crystals. The energy stimulated their brain cells intensely, allowing them to break through the limits of the human body and gain the ability to focus, remember, and think logically beyond a regular person.
Lu Zhongqi, on the other hand, had been an outstanding scholar from the very beginning.
Long before Dragon City had transmigrated, he, who had just been a weak youth, could already preside over important topics in related fields independently.
When Dragon City transmigrated and mankind discovered the mysteries of crystals and spirit energy, he became one of the first people to build the theory of spirit energy cultivation from scratch.
He was a recognized expert in spirit energy and crystals, and he was an expert among experts. Even Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao came to Lu Zhongqi when he had some questions about the mutation that had happened to him.
Besides, since the establishment of Dragon City’s Crystal a.s.sociation, Lu Zhongqi had been the only president of the a.s.sociation.
Shen Yuanbao was so arrogant and unruly that he dared to risk the lives of hundreds of his men for a crystal vein. However, he never once thought about competing with Lu Zhongqi for the position of President of Dragon City’s Crystal a.s.sociation.
He knew that even if Lu Zhongqi voluntarily abdicated the throne, no one, including him, was qualified to sit on it.
Anyone who dared to take Lu Zhongqi’s place would only become the biggest joke in their circle.
Unlike other Deity Realm warriors, who had more or less accomplished their own businesses through force, 90% of Lu Zhongqi’s success in establishing Sky Pillar Corporation and becoming one of the nine mega corporations had been due to his knowledge and wisdom.
He also preferred academic research to commercial operations.
Otherwise, a country b.u.mpkin like Shen Yuanbao would never have the chance to expand Universe Corporation to the extent that it could compete with Sky Pillar Corporation.
Ever since the second generation of the Lu family gradually came into prominence, Lu Zhongqi had retired to the second line. He had been a visiting professor at Dragon City University and the alliance of the five universities. He had taught more than twenty professional courses and wholeheartedly laid the groundwork for Dragon City’s greatest talents, such as Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao.
All in all, someone like Lu Zhongqi, who had made outstanding contributions in the field of spirit energy cultivation, befriended the warriors of the older generation and possessed high moral integrity. However, he was not as virtuous as Battle G.o.d Lei Zongchao, who was over the top and made others feel ashamed of their inferiority. That man could almost be regarded as a model superhuman.
Unfortunately, his perfect legacy was marred, and his success could not be preserved. Perhaps even Lu Zhongqi himself did not expect the Lu family to give birth to such an ambitious “weirdo” like Lu Siya.
Moreover, the first stepping stone on this weirdo’s path of ambition was the Lu family!
Originally, the Lu family had tried to curry favor with Meng Chao through Lu Siya. They had even helped Meng Chao develop his insignificant small-scale enterprise, Superstar Resource Recovery Company, into a large-scale enterprise that was second only to the nine mega corporations, Superstar Company. On one hand, they wanted to use Meng Chao’s golden name to close the distance between their family and the ordinary people, as well as the middle- and low-level superhumans, so as to strengthen their corporate image.
On the other hand, they also wanted to use Lu Siya to tie Meng Chao, the most outstanding, dazzling, most popular, and most promising man of the golden generation, firmly to the Lu family and Sky Pillar Corporation’s war chariots.
If necessary, they could use marriage as a means.
They did not expect Meng Chao to be unlucky enough to fall into the Raging Tiger River during his shining moment.
Seeing that their long-term investment was hopeless, the Lus planned on using Lu Siya to swallow up Superstar Company. It was considered a very good deal that had given them a return of more than 1,000% over the past few years.
Unexpectedly, not only had Lu Siya not listened to orders, but she had also secretly set up a trap for the Lu family. Through a series of brilliant anti-takeover operations, Superstar Company gained greater independence in terms of equity, and in terms of profits, she even conquered the consumer market and took down a lot of the businesses that originally belonged to Sky Pillar Corporation. At the press conference in memory of Meng Chao, she expressed that she wanted to inherit Meng Chao’s aspirations in front of countless reporters. She would always represent the interests of the general public and always fight for Dragon City, not the family or the company.
This semi-public break with the Lus angered many family members, and her father even vomited three liters of blood.
The matter became a big joke among the rich and powerful.
As the head of the family, Lu Zhongqi seemed ashamed of the lack of discipline in his home, so he took the initiative to shut his door and reflect. He had not appeared before the public and old friends for a long time.
Even today, he had no choice but to attend the meeting because the matter was too big, and he sat in a corner, which was completely incompatible with his ident.i.ty. His body was hunched and curled up into a ball as he tried his best to prevent the others from noticing his existence.
On top of that, no matter how rebellious Lu Siya was, she still had the blood of the Lu family flowing in her veins. If there was a need to clean up the family, Yun Feidian should not be the one to step in and take over.
If it had been another old man who was a little impatient and a little protective, he would have slammed the table and stood up.
Even though Lu Zhongqi was publicly acknowledged as gentle and sweet, and a good man, many Deity Realm warriors could not disrespect his opinion.
