Lu Siya told Meng Chao that the way the higher-ups did things was slowly changing.

It was mainly because of the ambush on Noble Descent Hotel. Through the clue provided by Zhou Tianshui, they managed to find that a lot of important people in the nine great cultivation families were involved.

These people were not directly controlled by the abnormal beasts, but had done plenty of things like trampling on the limits of superhumans, harming the interests of their families, businesses, Dragon City, and even human civilization.

Some people used their positions to take bribes and fill up their own pockets.

Some people schemed against others, framed them, and used everything in their disposal to get rid of their competitors.

Some people saw that their competitors were in trouble in the wild, and ignored it or even kicked them while they were down.

There were even some who killed others in the wild so that they could snatch their spoils, but pretended that they were attacked by monsters so that they could run away from being judged by the law.

Of course, there were even more examples of these people using their superpowers to suppress and bully normal people or their statuses as people from cultivation families to harass middle-grade or low-grade superhumans who came from poor families. These cases were everywhere and were a shocking sight to behold.

As the abnormal beast’s puppet, Zhou Tianshui had looked for large quantities of evidence related to the people from the nine great cultivation families committing crimes and intimidated or bribed them into joining him.

There were some terrible cases among what he dug up.

Originally, superhuman criminals were under the jurisdiction of the adjudicator court, but these rotten eggs used every method at their disposal to drag some adjudicators into the mud with them and collaborated with them to hide their crimes. That was why they could remain free until this day.

When the abnormal beast research department raided Zhou Tianshui’s apartment, company, and his secret lair, a large amount of evidence rose to the surface. It struck a huge blow to the adjudicator court and the nine great cultivation families, which was similar to a 10.0 earthquake.

“The higher-ups of the nine great cultivation families have come to realize that over the past half a century we have been focused on increasing our fighting strength and overlooked refining our minds and ideals. With the war going on, everyone is in an imminent danger of death. The resources are then often seized by fists and weapons.

“The relationship between the mega corporations, the peerless fighters, and superhumans and normal people have become abnormal. This naturally gave birth to the idea that the winners take all and the strong rule.”

Lu Siya sighed. “Many of the superhumans with a lot of crimes don’t care even when there is indisputable evidence thrown in their faces. They believe that they have already bled for Dragon City and contributed to humanity. Their fists have broken mountains, so it’s not wrong for them to get some money to enjoy their lives. It’s only when we mention their relationship with Zhou Tianshui and his relationship with the abnormal beasts that they’re shocked and become regretful.

“This has taught everyone a pretty devastating lesson. After this battle, the higher-ups believe that the conflict in Dragon City is so bad that it must be solved as soon as possible; otherwise, a new Lin Chuan, Gao Ye, or Zhou Tianshui will pop up at any moment.

“Honestly, the higher-ups have long since noticed this problem, or they wouldn’t have pushed out the slogans of ‘superhumans are the weapons of human civilization’ and ‘the blood of the strong flows for the weak’.

“The ambush this time has made the higher-ups decide that they will perform a full sweep of the superhumans who broke the law and committed crimes over the past twenty years and increase the ideological education of superhumans so that they would truly become the guardian gods of human civilization.

“Speaking of which, pay a little attention to your side. In a few more days, someone might come to you to investigate the matter regarding the Red Radiance Jade mine.”

Meng Chao was a little stunned. “Huh?”

“Have you forgotten about us fighting against Universe Corporation’s mine exploration team under Raging Waves?” Lu Siya said. “Of course, it’s not as if there’s anything that can trip us in this matter. At the end of the day, under the White Spirit’s temptation, everyone attacked each other to protect themselves. It’s completely different compared to killing someone to steal their spoils.

“Superhumans often run into monsters who are skilled in creating illusions and mind control while exploring and hunting in the wild. As long as we didn’t have a motive of our own when it comes to these things, we’ll be fine.”

Meng Chao nodded.

The fight between the two mine exploration teams never had anything to do with him. He did not have a single drop of innocent blood on his hands, and he had nothing to be afraid of because he walked the right path.

In any case, he wished that the investigations would be more thorough so that they could get a clearer picture, because this meant that…

“Have the higher-ups come to the decision to cut off the corrupted superhumans and perform a sweep of the superhuman squads?”

“Yup. Plenty of them aren’t just rotten eggs, but practically tumors among superhumans. If we don’t make the decision now and cut off these tumors, the abnormal beasts are going to use them again to intensify the conflict in Dragon City so that these tumors will explode on their own.”

When Lu Siya said this, she could not help but sneer. She whispered, “I suppose you can consider this as the monsters forcing the superhumans to go through a reformation.”

“Will you and your dad be okay?” Meng Chao asked after a moment’s consideration.
