Chapter 639 - Take It up as Your Responsibility! (1/2)

Meng Chao sank into deep thought after Lu Siya’s words.

Even though he was already the owner of Superstar, the club leader of Broken Star Club, a director of Blue Home, and was a lucky child who rose to power in the eyes of the normal people, if he wanted to prevent Dragon City’s destruction, this bit of power was far from enough!

Superstar had already reached a bottleneck in its development. If he wanted to develop it further, he had to steal from the bowls of the nine mega corporations.

Broken Star Club and Blue Home were both civil social organizations. Their members might often work together, open up a lot of channels and business links, and voice their opinions in the Survival Committee, but they still lacked something that would allow them to reach a breakthrough and tie everyone’s interests together.

If he could use his status as the gang leader of Golden Tooth and influence the lair so that the resources inside it could blend together with all the resources by his side, wouldn’t he create a powerful, matchless force?

Broken Star Club, Superstar, Blue Home, and the lair…

All of them in his hands might really provide him with a promising future.

But Meng Chao could not understand it. “Big Sis Ya, how are you going to benefit from this situation?”

“Of course I will.” Lu Siya smiled. “There are plenty of slums in Dragon City’s main area, and they’re all represented by the lair. These chaotic places are filled with good and bad people. It’s not because of us having low morals, not because of the mega corporations letting them go unchecked, and certainly not because of Jin Wanhao, Xiong Wei, and the others’ ambition that they have existed for decades.

“There’s only one reason why they continue to exist, and it’s that Dragon City lacks space and resources. It can’t provide enough living space and work opportunities for its people. That’s all there is to it.

“If we don’t get rid of the root problem, then even if we have a saint who has flawless morals and is filthy rich become the master of the lair, the lair will still be as it is now.

“If that were the case, I wouldn’t suggest for you to become the gang leader of Golden Tooth and even the master of the lair so that you’d have to manage this mess.

“But times have changed.

“Ever since we won the northern offensive and gained other victories, we switched to tactical counter offensive tactics, and more than ten new developing areas are now under construction simultaneously. We’ve created a lot of new job opportunities, and as long as we win the pitch battle at the borders of Dragon City, the monster civilization will crumble. The originally dangerous and mysterious lands will become a paradise for humans to roam as we please!

“Think about it, Meng Chao. How many brand new job opportunities will this create and how much wealth will it generate?

“I won’t talk about anything else, but at the very least, the commuter towns that are currently being developed in the wild will produce a large batch of cheap apartments. If we move some of the people from our overpopulated city over there and connect these cities to the main city with high-speed railways, we’ll have hope, right?

“In the past, the lair was a negative asset, but in the future, there might be a lot of job opportunities. If the lair citizens go out to work, they will earn money with their blood, sweat, and tears, and this wealth will be generated endlessly. We will then completely solve this long-lasting problem that can only survive through gray industries.

“Besides, through Blue Home, you can have some politicians loudly advocate the importance of modifying the old city areas. There’s a high chance that this will lead to a full modification of the lairs. They might even be completely demolished and rebuilt.

“The geographical location of the lairs is really good. They’re located in the golden area at the center of Dragon City. The profit of demolishing and rebuilding the lairs will be astronomical. If this profit is exchanged for cultivation resources, it’ll help us reach the peak of Heaven Realm and even Deity Realm!”

Meng Chao was a little dazed.

His soul was sucked in by the sparkles in Lu Siya’s eyes.

Meng Chao licked his dry lips and said, “But you just mentioned that the reason why the nine mega corporations will support me is because of my relative independence. This means that I can’t be bound too tightly to Sky Pillar Corporation.”

“It’s not Sky Pillar Corporation, but me and the businesses under my name.” Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. “Right from the start, I’ve repeatedly made myself clear that Sky Pillar Corporation is Sky Pillar Corporation, and I am me. I won’t wait for decades or even one hundred years for my grandfather and father to enjoy the feeling of having power in their hands before going up there to nibble at the scraps they left behind.

“Besides, a single Sky Pillar Corporation isn’t worthy of me fighting for it for the rest of my life!”

Meng Chao finally understood. “You want to split up from them?”

“Well, things haven’t progressed to the point where it’s so bad that I want to split from them,” Lu Siya said with a smile. “But if we work together and really manage to take down the entire lair as well as seize the tides of revolution, the lair that we control will become the tenth force next to the nine mega corporations. And it might even become the strongest force. Who knows? We might be the ones calling the shots in the future in Dragon City.”

Meng Chao stared deeply at Lu Siya.

He was tempted.

A’Ji cleared his throat by the side.
