Chapter 205: Becoming the Owner

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

Before dusk had arrived, the war was over.

The soldiers that entered the council building found Cao Jinsong's body in the chamber.

His temple was bleeding, and he held a pistol in his hand. When defeat was inevitable, this old man chose to suicide.

Seeing that their boss died, the soldiers all dropped their weapons in hand and surrendered.

The Crimson Chamber of Commerce's flag was dragged down by the soldiers who climbed onto the top of the building and was thrown into a pile of flame.

”Died? He got off easy.” Zhao Chenwu cursed while he limped beside Jiang Chen. His leg got shot. Although the wound has already been treated, he was still constricted by it.

At that time, the two of them walked side by side in the hallway of the council building.

There were only five people left out of the ten. A meeting was called.

There was so much needed to be discussed.

”Thank you so much. This way, without your people, Cao Jinsong, would have already succeeded. I'll do my best to say good things about you on the council.” Zhao Chenwu smiled.

”Don't worry about it. As to good things... I think I can gain it by myself like before?”

Zhao Chenwu's feet stopped. His smile froze on his face.

Jiang Chen laughed, pushed open the door to the chamber, and walked inside.

...

Because that roundtable had been smashed, Jiang Chen ordered the soldiers to drag a long table from elsewhere.

The five council members sat on either side. However, Jiang Chen shamelessly sat at the head of the table.

Seeing Jiang Chen's move, Zhao Chenwu seemed to know what he wanted to do. He let out a sigh and didn't say anything.

But the other four council members didn't take it so well. If it were not for the two soldiers holding rifles and wearing kinetic skeletons, they probably would have jumped up and expressed their dissatisfaction.

”For the tragedy that occur here, I express my condolences.”

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the council members all cursed in their minds.

There was not a trace of condolence on his face.

”But life must continue. Since everyone here is really busy, let's get things started.”

Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile.

”I agree. The cleaning of the radiation materials in the inner circle, as well as rebuilding, must commence soon.” A tall council member nodded. His name was Kong Zhe, the owner of Double-headed Bull Chamber of Commerce. Although he just received communication from the front line that his trap card - the Landbird Armor was destroyed by the Crimson Chamber of Commerce Wanderer tank, still 30 something soldiers managed to survive as they began to retreat towards the Sixth Street.

”I consent.”

”I agree.”

Zhao Chenwu didn't say anything, but from his expression, he looked desolate.

In this civil war, he suffered the most loss among all council members. Two spider tanks, 20 power armors, Disaster-32 cruise missile, as well as great soldiers. Now the only remaining force for the Zhao Corporation was the five power armors and 5- soldiers sent to the outskirts of the city to build a defense line.
