Chapter 593 - Meng Chao’s Surprising Rewards (1/2)

Meng Chao did not expect that the one to save him and prove his innocence would be Lu Siya.

Now that he thought about it, it was… pretty shocking.

If it were not for the fact that Lu Siya trusted him fully, he really did not know how he would have solved the situation.

Perhaps the lair would have gone up in flames, just like he remembered from his previous life.

“Thanks, Big Sis Ya.” Even though his chest hurt due to Lu Siya’s poking, Meng Chao still felt warmth in his heart, and he thanked her sincerely.

He stopped talking for a bit, then extended his thumb and index finger to pinch them together. “Speaking of which, when you heard that I killed Bullet Xue Rui and the others, did you really not suspect me? Not even for a second? Not even a tiny bit?”

“What’s that? You don’t trust me?” Lu Siya snorted as if she was really displeased with Meng Chao’s question. “I might not know about the others, but I know you. If you really wanted to betray us, you would have done so a long time ago.

“The underground area beneath Raging Waves and the accident in Noble Descent Hotel were way better places to betray humanity compared to the lair. Since you managed to stay true to yourself during those times and faced death fearlessly, I just couldn’t think of a reason why you would turn traitor at this time.

“Besides, there’s one more important reason that made me believe that you didn’t kill Bullet Xue Rui.”

“What’s that?” Meng Chao asked.

Lu Siya grinned and said calmly, “If you had really turned traitor and killed Bullet Xue Rui, you wouldn’t have been so stupid as to let others see you.”

“…” Meng Chao could not help but laugh. “You know me, Big Sis Ya.”

“You’re my most important investment to date. There’s no way a good investor would not know her investments.” Lu Siya grinned. “Fortunately, even though I gave up on the chance to shine at the frontlines to save you in the lair, I didn’t come away with nothing.

“I honestly don’t know whether to say that you’re really lucky or really unlucky. It’s like you always appear at the wrong place at the wrong time and fall into the enemy’s most dangerous schemes. But for some reason, you keep disabling the enemy’s schemes with your fists.

“Thank goodness you were around this time.

“Otherwise, no matter how meticulously the abnormal beast research department and the secret police planned and how proper Vice Director Nie as well as Senior Nie’s plans were, the Vortex might have ended up succeeding.

“You prevented the lair from being destroyed. This achievement is similar to saving the transmigration experts in Noble Descent Hotel. Forget about how the higher ups will reward you, the gangs alone are going to host a party to thank you for saving them.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer any losses. I will definitely help you get all the profits you’re supposed to get. If any of the gangs dare to pay you a penny less, I’ll crush them!” Lu Siya said boldly and slapped her chest.

Meng Chao was not thinking that far ahead.

Aside from the gang members, there were nearly one million normal citizens living in the lair.

He had chosen to risk his life to save all of them.

However, when he thought about it carefully, aside from forming good ties with the superpowers who could do whatever they wanted, like the nine great mega corporations, he would also benefit from becoming friends with the people in the gangs, especially since he had plans to change Dragon City’s future.

From this angle, he might have accidentally played a good move that would provide long-lasting effects.

As the two of them spoke, Golden Tooth, Black Bone, Poison Scorpion, and other gangs’ middle as well as higher management brought a large group of their trusted subordinates.

When they looked at the burning VIP room that was shrouded in smog behind them, quite a number of gang leaders felt their hearts race with fear. They could not imagine just how miserable they would have ended up if Meng Chao were not around. The forces they had built through decades of hardship would have also ended up in a state they did not want to think about.

Under Phantom Bear Xiong Wei’s lead, they fell into a neat row to salute Meng Chao and Lu Siya.

Then, they did not even dare to breathe as they stared at Broken Sword Ye Xiaoye respectfully while he stood at a distance not too far away.

Since Deity Realm superhumans were the pillars who had been standing tall for fifty years and protecting Dragon City through the storms of the Other World, their prestige was incomparable.

The gangs were relatively sensitive and did not like the Deity Realm superhumans from the outside world visiting them on usual days to interfere with their business, but now, the lair was on fire, and everything was in a mess. The might of a Deity Realm superhuman, undoubtedly, became a pillar of strength in their hearts.

With Broken Sword Ye Xiaoyue protecting them, even if they heard that Red Brows Su Lun betrayed the lair, they were no longer panicking.

Among the three big gangs in the lair, Black Bone, which was controlled by Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, was the greatest benefactor.

It was about to become the greatest gang in the lair and step above Golden Tooth.

Poison Scorpion’ support was Sky Pillar Corporation, and Lu Siya had hope to take control of Sky Pillar Corporation in the near future, so Poison Scorpion was naturally happy to see Meng Chao and Lu Siya gain great achievements. They were the most outstanding pair among the Golden Era, and the gang listened to whatever they had to say.

But Golden Tooth was dejected and in alarm.

They did not know whether their gang leader, Saber Jin Wanhao, could even be considered to be alive. It probably would be more accurate to say that he was already dead.

Their vice gang leader, Red Brows Su Lun, betrayed the humans and joined the monsters. He even planned to destroy the entire lair.
