Chapter 1004 - Rankings (1/2)

There was a hullabaloo throughout the Alliance of Strongholds.

After the Wang Consortium successfully took over all of the Kong Consortium's strongholds, only one stronghold situated along the east coast still remained under the Kong Consortium's control. Everyone was guessing when the Wang Consortium would take over this stronghold as well.

At first, everyone felt the war in the North would definitely affect everyone that resided there.

But in fact, after the Wang Consortium took over those strongholds, they immediately distributed relief food to all the residents. Then they quickly rebuilt the Public Order Division and installed surveillance cameras in the various strongholds. Immediately after, the artificial intelligence took over judicial management.

These strongholds were completely unregulated at the beginning, and the residents who remained behind were subjected to the abuse of evildoers and gang members. When the Wang Consortium arrived, the entire stronghold suddenly regained order, and the residents who were initially scolding the Wang Consortium started speaking of them in good light.

Actually, this was all normal. Whoever could ensure the people had a good life would win the support of the majority.

As for the conflicts between those at the top, what did that have anything to do with them?

It was not only the Kong Consortium's strongholds that had been taken over but the Pyro Company's strongholds as well. The Pyro Company's current forces were no longer capable of contending with the Wang Consortium, so it was only a matter of time before they were annexed.

Before the discussion of the Wang Consortium's total war against the Kong Consortium and the Pyro Company had died down, a fierce verbal exchange between the Zhou Consortium and the Northwest Army erupted again. This excited all of the onlookers once again.

It was not that this verbal sparring was more intense than the Wang Consortium's total war, but that the statements made by Zhang Xiaoman and the Great Hoodwinker were simply too explosive.

The Zhou Consortium spokesperson had just issued a condemnation when the Great Hoodwinker said, ”There's no need to stand on ceremony. It's what we should have done.”

To be honest, the common folk had never seen a rebuttal like the Northwest's official stance before.

However, with the Zhou Consortium's assassination of Jiang Xu, everyone was on the side of the Northwest Army and watched the Zhou Consortium get mocked.

After all, if the Zhou Consortium dared to assassinate Jiang Xu, they should be punished accordingly for it. Perhaps the Zhou Consortium did not expect the assassination would lead to such a painful lesson.

In just one day, the deaths of the Zhou Consortium's top three figureheads also showed everyone just how powerful supernatural beings were in this era of the ”Rise of Gods.”

Some people even marked this event as a new milestone in the world of supernatural beings. It symbolized that the era of the Rise of Gods had come to an end and was now officially entering the ”Era of the Gods.”

Without the word ”rise,” it signaled that the gods had already risen.

Correspondingly, everyone started to get even more curious. Just how many supernatural beings were there in the world now? Which organizations did they work for? Just how powerful were they? And what events had they been involved in?

At this moment, a documentary about the world of supernatural beings, directed by Mu Wan'ge, started promoting itself. The theme for the trailers was: ”We have personally experienced the battles between superhumans, and we'd like to show everyone how wonderful the real world of superhumans is. We've had the opportunity to tag along with the future commander of the Northwest, and he'll make a special appearance at the end of the movie in the post-credits scene.”

As such, even before the movie was screened in the Alliance of Strongholds, it started receiving wide-ranging expectations. Mu Wan'ge was currently stationed in Luoyang City. On the second day of the movie's promotions, the door to Mu Wan'ge's studio was trampled down by investors. It was truly a spectacular sight.

The investors offered to invest a lot of money, so Mu Wan'ge's movie had already made back its production budget before it even started screening.
