Chapter 1569: An a.s.sa.s.sin’s Ident.i.ty
“For Dragon City and for all mankind, huh? How great!”
Meng Chao sighed. “In that case, you must have done something against Dragon City and the human civilization, Senior Shen. That’s why a loyal person like Fei Qingyun was forced to kill you!”
His words made Shen Yuanbao blush.
After all, no matter how beautifully Shen Yuanbao put it, the Shen family and Universe Corporation had major internal problems. His ability to control the situation had been reduced to the point of no return. Even a blind man could see that.
Shen Yuanbao did not argue with Meng Chao for a long time.
At that moment, he managed to stabilize his injury and stood up shakily.
He walked to the unconscious “field commander” and pressed his b.l.o.o.d.y palm on his chest.
Electric arcs materialized out of Shen Yuanbao’s palm.
The field commander trembled before his eyelids opened slightly, and his breathing became heavy.
Meng Chao did not stop Shen Yuanbao.
He believed that this ruthless expert of the older generation was more suitable for the job of torture than himself.
Shen Yuanbao’s spirit energy flowed into the commander’s heart like a stimulant.
It then flowed through his heart and into the blood vessels all over his body.
The commander regained consciousness, and his eyes gradually focused as he stared at Shen Yuanbao, who was right in front of him.
If he had been an ordinary a.s.sa.s.sin, he would have been scared out of his wits when he faced a Deity Realm warrior whom he had failed to a.s.sa.s.sinate.
However, this commander on the scene was a tough man. His expression was calm as usual.
Shen Yuanbao looked like he was chewing on an invisible copper pea. His two rows of teeth made gurgling sounds. He said with a stern face, “Do you know who I am?”
The commander on the scene laughed. His smile was like a pool of water that had been ruffled by the Spring Breeze. He nodded and said generously, “I know.”
“You know who I am, yet you still dare to make such a big scene. You guys are quite brave!”
Shen Yuanbao said, “I admire a tough guy like you the most. Tell me the mastermind behind this, and I’ll give you a quick death!”
The commander on the scene blinked, then shook his head and said indifferently, “I don’t know.”
Shen Yuanbao revealed an extremely surprised expression.
“Since you know who I am, you must have heard of my methods.”
Shen Yuanbao said, “I believe that a good man like you would never be afraid of death. However, death is far from being the most terrifying thing in this world. Believe me, I am proficient in 100 methods that make you unable to live or die. Even a G.o.dly state expert would not be able to withstand these methods.”
“I absolutely believe that.”
The commander on the scene said calmly, “You are indeed a notorious existence in the circle of extraordinaires.
“Moreover, I also believe that I will definitely not be able to withstand your punishment. I’m afraid that it won’t be long before my nerves will collapse and I will kneel down and beg for mercy.
“Unfortunately, I really don’t know who exactly wants to a.s.sa.s.sinate you.
“Even if you cut me into a thousand pieces, there’s only one thing I don’t know.”
“You don’t even know the ident.i.ty of the mastermind behind the scenes, yet you dare to listen to the orders of the other party and come here to a.s.sa.s.sinate a G.o.dly state expert?”Shen Yuanbao was shocked.
Meng Chao observed his expression, but he felt that the other party didn’t seem to be lying.
“Who are you?”
Meng Chao took half a step forward and asked, “How could you be recruited by an unknown mysterious person to a.s.sa.s.sinate a G.o.dly state expert, the patriarch of a cultivation aristocratic family, and the head of one of the nine Super Enterprises in Dragon City?
“You should know that such an earth-shaking a.s.sa.s.sination, not to mention the failure, will end in a tragic end. Even if it succeeds, you will likely be silenced by the mastermind behind the scenes and be cut off from future trouble.
“What kind of price did the other party offer to make you, and so many a.s.sa.s.sins, take such a big risk?”
The commander on the spot narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Meng Chao for a long time.
It seemed that he wanted to search in the memory bank for the ident.i.ty of this guy who came out of nowhere and ruined their plan.
However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn’t connect Meng Chao’s meticulously disguised face to the many powerhouses in Dragon City.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
“My name is Ren Tianxiong. I used to be an employee of Huanyu Group.”
The commander on the scene didn’t lie.
Since the a.s.sa.s.sination had failed and had fallen into the hands of a G.o.dly state expert, he had long lost all hope of survival. All he wanted was a quick death.
Other than not knowing the true ident.i.ty of the mastermind behind the scenes, he told everything he knew as though he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Shen Yuanbao did not expect that the other party was actually from his own company. A look of surprise and embarra.s.sment appeared on his face.
He stared at the face of the a.s.sa.s.sin leader, Ren Tianxiong, and carefully looked at it for a long time. After recalling it in his mind for a long time, a faint impression emerged.
“President Shen, you don’t have to think about it. When I was in the universal group, I was just a small character who had just stepped into the heavenly realm. How could I possibly catch the eye of a big shot like you?”
Ren Tianxiong said with a faint smile, “Speaking of which, the universal group treats me quite well. All kinds of treatment are among the best in the same industry.
“However, the work pressure was really great. The compet.i.tion was really fierce, and the pressure was really fierce.
“At that time, for the sake of the Huanyu group’s rapid development, the basic-level employees like us risked our lives day and night. It could be said that for every penny that the Huanyu group spent on us, we would earn back five and ten dollars for the Huanyu Group.
“We had to cultivate, fight with monsters, and also take care of our own work. Even an iron machine had to exceed the limit of fatigue and cause all kinds of failures, let alone people with flesh and blood?
“Some low-level employees had tough skin and thick flesh, and they were lucky enough to be able to grow together with the universal group.
“However, I was one of the people who couldn’t stand the torment and was unlucky. Because I was too busy and tired during the day, I was distracted during cultivation at night and suffered from internal injuries. As a result, I became mentally deranged and my injuries broke out. I was almost a cripple.
“A piece of trash who was riddled with injuries was naturally not qualified to continue working for Universal Group.
“What was even more unfortunate was that the time and place when I became mentally deranged was not in the company during the day, but in my own home at night. At that time, I had just worked overtime for a full three months and worked hard to complete a big project for the company. Only then could I catch my breath and Rush home before 10 o’clock at night. I was just about to seize my precious time to make up for the gap in my training caused by a few months of overtime work. Who would have thought that I would become mentally deranged?
“Even if I were to go to court, I wouldn’t be able to prove that my mental derangement had anything to do with the company’s long-term overtime.
“So, I had no choice but to sign the contract with the company and receive a small compensation
