Chapter 429 - Marrow of Red Radiance Jade (2/2)

“What are you saying? I’ve always believed in you and Uncle Lu’s sincerity!” Meng Chao cleared his throat. “But which side does Uncle Lu support? The Colonization Party or the Home Party?”

“Based on my observations, he should be the same as me. We don’t have a fixed stance. We just stand on the side that will earn us more money and power. If it helps us climb to a higher position, we will side with them!” Lu Siya said nonchalantly.

“But my father is someone who cares about public image a lot. You should be able to tell from the case when he took in Lin Chuan that even if it’s just for show, he will be sincere about it, because that’s the only way it’ll work.

“So, if you want to use the Broken Star Club’s name to work with Sky Pillar Minerals for some charity project or public welfare activity, I don’t think it’ll be a problem. Even if it’s for himself, my father should support it with full strength.

“You can also seize the chance to spread the Broken Star Club’s influence. Honestly, there are plenty of broken-star superhumans in Dragon City. If you can use them well, they’ll be treasures that can be found in abundance in the city.

“Given time, forget about being the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City, with the Broken Star Club, Agricultural University, abnormal beast research department, and Sky Pillar Corporation supporting you, it’s possible that you would end up as the youngest politician in Dragon City as well.”

Meng Chao laughed in spite of himself. “I’ve never thought about becoming a politician.”

“Think about it starting from now. It’s not too late. Speaking of which, politicians are different from each other. Many politicians are just puppets. There are superhumans who are really powerful but aren’t politicians, but they can still do whatever they want in the Survival Committee.” Lu Siya stared at Meng Chao intensely.

“We’ve been working together for a year, and we know each other through and through. It’s helped me realize that we’re the same type of people. We’re both ambitious, but your ambitions aren’t about personal power. You’re even more ridiculous than I am. You want your will to be implemented in Dragon City’s future.

“However, at the end of the day, your personal power will always be limited. No matter how much you want to mould Dragon City’s future, you must first have the power to do whatever you want without consequences.

“So, put away all those nonsensical thoughts in your heart and work with me. We have to use whatever we have to become stronger, that’s our first proper task.

“If there comes a day when my father has the chance to take over all of Sky Pillar Corporation and even become the leader of the Lu family, and your Superstar as well as Broken Star Club have also become the strongest forces of power in Dragon City, you can plan out Dragon City’s future however you want, no?”

Meng Chao nodded.

That was him agreeing verbally to their relationship as tactical partners.

They spoke a little longer, because Meng Chao really wanted to know the newest development of Group 9 and the newest clues about the Supernatural Entities.

But Lu Siya had also been staying in the hospital over the past few days, so she did not know much about the outside world.

She said that the next day Captain Ye would bring the leaders of the department to visit her and Meng Chao. At that time, they would naturally learn everything.

Meng Chao nodded, then a thought popped up in his head. He asked about the origins of the hospital.

“I’ve never heard about Sky Pillar Corporation having a hospital of their own. The facilities here are really advanced, and the decorations are really luxurious. Did you just build it?”

Lu Siya shook her head and told Meng Chao that the hospital had been built for decades.

During the chaotic period before the Survival Committee was built, the nine great mega corporations had already taken over some of the functions of the local government. They built hospitals, schools, and armed their own fighting squads. They might have been small, but they had everything and were basically small, independent kingdoms.

Once the Survival Committee was set up, some of the medical facilities under the nine great mega corporations merged together and were upgraded to large public hospitals.

For example, the current Dragon City People’s Medical Center and Dragon City Medical University’s First Affiliated Hospital were hospitals under the corporations before they were upgraded to their current status.

Sky Pillar Corporation’s corporate hospital mainly treated various diseases related to mining and radiation. Since they were a specialized hospital, they had retained their original scale and operation model. They did not treat patients who were not part of their own.

“Why are you suddenly so interested in hospitals?” Lu Siya asked.

Meng Chao naturally wanted to continue investigating the X-shaped eye.

He noticed that this hospital, Fengshui Medical Center, and the government hospitals his mother frequented in the past all had their own unique symbols.

But none of them had the X-shaped eye as their symbol.

Hence, he wanted to see whether there was any corporate hospital or a private medical center that was incredibly small and incredibly specialized that was related to the X-shaped eye.

But there was no need for him to tell Lu Siya about it.

It was not because he did not trust her.

Instead, it was because he did not know how strong and mysterious was the force of power hidden behind the X-shaped eye.

Before he figured out the truth, there was no need for him to make other people face unnecessary risks.
