Chapter 457 - : Offending Someone Powerful (1/2)

“More clues?”

Meng Chao thought, ‘I can’t predict the future, you know? How would I know which material warehouse Ning Lang and his companions are going to rob?’

But when he thought about it carefully, he found that he could actually minimize the area of search by using the process of elimination.

First, he excluded the warehouses belonging to the Supernatural Tower, Red Dragon Army, and the four great research centers.

The reason for it was simple. Those raw materials warehouses belonged to the government, so their defenses would be tight. There would be plenty of elites and really good security systems.

It was most likely that Ning Lang and his companions were normal people. Even if they ate the Deification Capsules and gained superhuman powers for a short while, they would still be unable to win against veteran superhumans.

If there were three or more superhumans who were above one-star in the warehouse, the group would have a hard time succeeding.

But even if they managed to succeed, they would be hunted down at full force by the government, so they would not be able to run free for long.

The same logic applied to the materials warehouses of the nine great families, Dragon City University, and the alliance of the five universities. They could be excluded as well.

The super forces that ruled their own industries were also existences that Ning Lang could not afford to offend.

But Meng Chao did not think that Ning Lang would choose any random, small industry’s materials warehouse either.

Based on the scraps of paper, the warehouse was pretty large.

Besides, when it came to a robbery, they had to choose a fat pig so that they could steal to their hearts’ content.

Otherwise, once they cleared their debt, they would not have any money left to let their families live good lives.

They needed a large warehouse that had a lot of crystals and monster materials, relatively lax defenses, and its guards had to be weak as well. There were not many warehouses, or rather, industries that fulfilled these two completely different criteria at the same time.

Meng Chao told Shen Yupeng his thoughts. Then, he said, “I think that Ning Lang is targeting a new industry that is developing rapidly and is a nouveau riche who just rose to power over the past few years. That industry has some money, but hasn’t yet increased its fighting strength and awareness. Basically, it’s rich, but dumb. Big Brother Peng, please choose the industries based on this train of thought, and I think you’ll definitely find your target.”

“Alright. Give me five minutes.” Shen Yupeng hung up.

Reality showed that when it came to specialized fields, one had to hire specialists to do it.

After just three minutes, Shen Yupeng called him back.

“I did as you asked and chose the industries that are rich but dumb and are owned by the nouveau riche. We also compared the pictures you sent to the building blueprints in the database, and we did come up with something,” Shen Yupeng said. “And the truth is, you’re right. The materials warehouse that Ning Lang is prepared to rob is a new industry called Superstar.”

Meng Chao smiled. “I know, right?” But he was dumbfounded the next moment. “WHAT?!”

“Makes sense, doesn’t it?” Shen Yupeng said calmly. “You know, there hasn’t been any other industry in Dragon City that is as much of a nouveau riche as Superstar in the past year.”

Meng Chao cussed really viciously.

‘You’re actually stomping on MY tail?! You’re robbing ME?!’

But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense.

Over the past year, after buying over Prosperous and Spirit Creation Creatures, Superstar had grown bigger at a rapid pace, and it was now in control of most of the middle-grade and low-end harvesting jobs in Dragon City.

To provide different gene medicine to the Ultimate Style practitioners and the Broken Star Club members and to provide raw materials to the research team in Spirit Creation Creatures, Superstar gathered a large amount of high-grade crystals and Nightmarish Beasts’ flesh and blood in its warehouse.

To a certain extent, Superstar’s raw material warehouse was even more valuable than the safes in the banks.

And Superstar was indeed a nouveau riche that had an endless amount of wealth. Yet the only person who could be considered a powerful fighter in the company was Meng Chao himself.

However, Meng Chao paid most of his attention to Agricultural University, the Broken Star Club, Blue Home, the abnormal beast research department, and other places. Recently, he had also gone to train in the wild.

Forget about the security system in the company, he did not even know how many raw materials warehouses Superstar had, because it was developing too quickly!

Now that he thought about it, Qin Hu was in charge of Superstar’s security system. He had used his connections to find a group of retired hunters to be the company’s guards.

But if hunters had real skill, none of them would want to go to Superstar to be security guards!

Those who were willing to go were all in their seventies and eighties, sick of risking their lives, and had gone back to Dragon City to live out their retirement years.

That, or they were heavily injured, had dropped in their cultivation realms, or were no longer suited for the high-intensity life of swinging their weapons around.

Even so, Qin Hu might still be unable to have each warehouse equipped with two of these old or handicapped superhumans to serve as security guards with the rate of their development.

But there was no way around it. Before this, Meng Chao never expected that Superstar would end up as a target for others!
