Chapter 641 - Create A Show of Strength (2/2)

“Speaking of which, does that mean that the gangs have means of survival?”

“Of course not. There is a way, and it’s a bright one. The prerequisite is that we must change our way of thinking and proactively embrace the changes. Instead of waiting for external forces to interfere with lair affairs, it would be better for us to take the initiative and work with the outside world. If we can make the pie called reconstructing the lair big, the profit we can share might become ten times greater than in the past.”

“That’s…”

“Of course, compared to the mega forces that control Dragon City, the gangs are just nobodies and misfits. If we go and talk with the outside world individually, we might end up getting swallowed without being able to make a sound.

“That’s why, we must be united and take swift actions. Before the outside world can take the chance to interfere with the lair affairs, we must unite everyone to form an organization to reconstruct the lair. Once everyone has the same thoughts, we can negotiate as one with the outside world and fight for the biggest slice of the pie!”

When Xiong Wei heard this, he cocked his eyebrows.

The ones who could become gang leaders in the lair were not easy to deal with, indeed. These people’s thoughts were the same as his.

Right now, he was the temporary highest ranking commander, and he was just here to capture the wanted criminals and former Reaper Squad members. That was why he could mobilize the people from the gangs and get their data and resources.

Once the situation stabilized, more gangs would take back their authority and no longer listen to his commands. Some conflict may even stir up between them and Black Bone.

If they wanted to reconstruct the lair and form an organization that had long-term authority and could bring the resources from the gangs together, then he had to become the leader of the organization, because this was the only way for him to completely control the lair.

The leader of the Lair Reconstruction Committee?

Not bad. This title was very pleasant to the ears. He liked it!

But what he heard next was something Xiong Wei did not like.

“I heard that Golden Tooth and Poison Scorpion are already discussing things and want to set up the Lair Reconstruction Preparation Committee. They invited all the gangs to join and discuss how we want to reconstruct the lair as well as distribute profit. We will also be able to use the name of the committee to get fees from the Survival Committee and ask for donations from the outside world.

“Meng Chao and Lu Siya have already responded to the call. They openly declared that once the Lair Reconstruction Preparation Committee is set up, they will donate ten million yuan to the lair in their own names, and this money will be used to rebuild the houses of the lair citizens. Also, Meng Chao and Lu Siya will mobilize their connections to help gather more donations for the lair to join the reconstruction project.”

Meng Chao?

Xiong Wei’s pupils shrank.

Even though he had not killed Meng Chao with one slap after they exposed Red Brows Su Lun’s true colors, this did not mean that he liked this young adult who personally killed his beloved son.

Also, Xiong Wei could sense a dangerous presence from Meng Chao. He felt that the boy was an unstable variable that he could not read.

However, in the last twenty-four hours, he had been busy expanding his territory in the name of pursuing the enemies. He did not have time to care about Meng Chao.

He did not think that the boy could cause any trouble to him within a short twenty-four hours and make a mess of the lair.

Xiong Wei’s expression turned dark, and he continued listening.

“Speaking of Meng Chao, he’s really good. We’re all members of society, and the thing we value the most is righteousness. The boy is pretty good to the lair! I mean, let’s be honest here, if we were in his shoes, would we risk our lives to this extent? In any case, I wouldn’t. That’s why I truly admire Meng Chao!”

“Now that I think about it, if we’re really going to have to open our doors and work together with external forces when it comes to reconstructing the lair, Meng Chao’s Superstar, Broken Star Club, and Blue Home are really good choices.”

“Think about it. Superstar was just formed two years ago, and it’s a high-tech enterprise that is on a roll now, but it’s not as rich as the nine mega corporations, and its foundation isn’t as great either. If we work together with Superstar, both sides will be on a similar level. We won’t need to worry about him bullying us because of his power or swallowing us whole.”

“Broken Star Club has more than two hundred thousand members, and it has 70% of the channels leading to the residential areas in Dragon City. They can promote goods to the first-tier consumers and draw a few hundred thousand normal citizens into the lair to spend their money on entertainment.

“In the past, plenty of citizens didn’t dare to enter the lair to spend their money due to this place being too chaotic and dangerous. If we seize the chance and change the lair completely during reconstruction, and if Broken Star Club provides some sort of guarantee, the number of customers who are willing to come and spend money in the lair will increase more than ten times!”

“There’s no need to even mention Blue Home. They have always supported the ideals of the Home Party and advocated allocating more of the city’s budget into modifying and upgrading old residential areas. The lair can be said to be the oldest super residential area in Dragon City. Now that it was destroyed by the abnormal beast and looks absolutely horrid, there’s a good chance of an astronomical budget being given to us if we can gain the support of the Home Party politicians through Blue Home!”

“Everyone, the more I think about it, the more I think that this suggestion is plausible.

“We’re all on the same side and not worried about us spreading bad rumors about the lair to the outside world, because I know we won’t. Let’s be honest, over the past twenty years or so, the lair hasn’t had a good public image. Most of the citizens think that the lair is dirty and dangerous, and those who dare to come into the lair aren’t good people.

“This rigid image didn’t affect us during the warring era, but as Dragon City gradually stabilizes, we have to earn money and develop! If we don’t change the lair’s image, we won’t make this pie big!

“How are we going to change the public’s impression of the lair within a short time? We definitely can’t do it on our own. But if we can get a young adult who is a war hero, a model superhuman, the youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in Dragon City, and has a good impression among the citizens to be the ambassador of the lair, wouldn’t we get instant results?”
