Chapter 1516: True Crime

Of course, that was impossible.

Touching benefits was always harder than touching the soul.

No one was willing to divide their benefits and power.

When the old and the new were in transition, it was normal for conflicts to break out.

Once a conflict broke out, it was easy for people with ulterior motives, such as the demons in the Blood Alliance, to take advantage of them.

That was why Meng Chao needed to uproot the Blood Alliance before the conflict between the Azure Alliance and the nine mega corporations intensified.

At the same time, he would firmly control the power of change in his hands.

At that moment, the commotion in the crowd suddenly became intense.

It was like dozens of undercurrents had gathered together, stirring up a storm.

When he looked up, Meng Chao realized that the display on the big screen had changed again.

This time, there were dozens of faces that were partially frightened, partially angry, and partially drenched in cold sweat. They were extremely distorted.

It was the descendants of the wealthy families that had participated in the underground auction. They had also been discovered by the monster hunters.

No one was a fool.

From the furnishings of the underground auction, the food that could not be withdrawn in time, and the still warm tea, it could be seen that when the monster hunters rushed into Xinhui Business Center¹, there was a rather high-class gathering here.

And the members of the gathering would definitely not have enough time to escape from the besieged Xinhui Business Center.

The monster hunters could stay in the depths of the jungle for three days and three nights, without sleep or rest, tracking the hair, footprints, and feces of the monsters to reach the most secret nest.

Naturally, it was easy to find these scions of the wealthy families hiding in the high-class restaurants and private cultivation clubs.

In the beginning, the scions of the wealthy families were confident and justified.

After all, they were not caught red-handed in the underground black market.

If they gathered in the legally operated high-end restaurants and private cultivation clubs, at most, the scale of the gathering would be slightly larger. What was wrong with that?

To say the least, even if they did participate in the underground auction, so what?

They were not the organizers of the auction. When they were invited, they had no idea that the organizers did not have a license to operate legally. Strictly speaking, they were also victims.

As for the gene reagents that were stored in the giant-toothed crocodile’s lair, what exactly did it have to do with their parents, who were the management of the Genetic Medicine Factory? How would they know! !

These scions of wealthy families felt that they were impeccable in the law. They were innocent and wronged to the extreme.

They were not afraid even if they stood in front of the transcendental tower’s judges.

However, they had forgotten, or rather, they had been born into a wealthy family. They had been pampered and protected by their parents and ancestors, who were peerless experts. Furthermore, they had treated such protection as a matter of course. They had never known.., there were two types of courts in this world.

The first type required evidence, procedures, and reasoning.

No matter how sharp-tongued they were, the bottom line was that they were refined and refined. Most of the time, they could neither touch the body nor the soul.

The other type, which was even more ancient, had existed between heaven and earth since the birth of mankind. They did not need evidence at all, did not need procedures, did not need sharp-tongued arguments, and only needed to gather the innermost feelings of countless people, it was the simplest and most intense emotion.

The verdict of this court might not be 100% correct.

It might not even touch the soul.

It might not even be considered justice.

But it could definitely eliminate a “Sinner”100% physically.

The ignorant children of the wealthy families did not realize that to the lawyers, jurors, judges, bailiffs, and executioners of this Court, the worst crimes they had committed, it was not because they had purchased some priceless rare and precious treasure in the underground auction, using the gene reagent as a unit.

Instead, when the lawyers, jurors, judges, bailiffs, and executioners of this court could not even afford a single dose of dragon elephant bone strengthening injection, they had already eaten enough of the tyrant Mammoth’s elephant extraction sashimi!

And this crime didn’t need evidence, or rather, it was already conclusive evidence.

When the angry voices of countless people turned into a raging storm and ruthlessly crashed into the glass curtain wall of Xinhui Business Center, causing countless spider web-like crisscrossing cracks to appear on the tempered glass, the fear of the children of the wealthy families finally completely overwhelmed their anger.

They finally realized that apart from their parents and grandparents who were peerless experts, there was another absolutely powerful force in Dragon City.

This force could not only topple mountains and overturn seas, or even split open the sky and Earth, but it could also ruthlessly suppress the overwhelming Beast Tide.

Once they collided with the muzzle of this force…

Even godly state experts might not be able to protect them.

The faces of the descendants of the wealthy families were pale. One could see the nerves and blood vessels between their slightly twitching muscles.

They no longer had the high-pitched talk and vigorous movements when they participated in the underground auction just now, as if Dragon City was under their control.

At the beginning, there were still people with stiff necks who wanted to discuss with the monster hunters who had rushed into the private clubhouse, “I’m rich, I can spend whatever I want. What the F * ck do you guys care?”.

However, the monster hunters who had bathed in blood on the battlefield and eaten the monster’s internal organs in the depths of the wilderness had a soul-stirring bloody smell that came from the hell of Asura.

Even though the theoretical level and paper battle parameters of the descendants of wealthy families were higher than the monster hunters.

Being glared at by the monster hunters, they were often like a throat and a back door. Two lumps of ice were stuffed into them at the same time, and they were cold from head to toe. How could they still say anything?

They could only look at the sky outside the French windows, hoping for help from the companies and families.

In fact, the armored airship that was painted with the emblems of the nine super companies had long arrived in the airspace near Xinhui Business Center.

However, the surging and furious crowd below made them not dare to land.

In fact, not to mention the armored airship of the nine super companies.

Even the staff of the transcendental tower could not squeeze through the crowd that had formed an iron wall.

People did not believe in the transcendental tower at all.

They did not believe that the tribunal, which specialized in dealing with the crimes of transcendents, could handle this matter impartially.

After all, many of the secret police and adjudicators of the Tribunal were from the nine great cultivation families. They were in cahoots with the scions of the rich families that were trapped inside.

The angry crowd even wanted to rush into Xinhui Business Center.

They wanted to use the most primitive and effective method to deal with the descendants of the wealthy families.

In the end, it was the blue sleeves of the Azure Alliance who temporarily controlled the furious middle-and low-rank superhumans.

A large number of blue sleeves rushed into Xinhui Business Center.

They tightly protected the descendants of the wealthy families.

In order to prevent the situation from going out of control, the blue sleeves very considerately protected the descendants of the wealthy families in the highest and safest place in Xinhui Business Center.

It was the secret warehouse of the underground black market.

It was properly “protected” with the gene reagents produced by their parents.

In order to show everyone that the personal safety of these scions of the rich and powerful families had received the highest level of protection, not even a hair was touched.

The blue armbands recorded the entire process and broadcasted it live.

Multiple angles, multiple camera positions, 360 degrees without any blind spots, captured the faces of these scions of the rich and powerful families clearly.

Now, there were no colorful masks that could hide their identities.

Be it the macaw or the peacock spreading its tail, their names, their parents’names, and their ancestors or grandfathers who were godly state experts, all spread throughout Dragon City in five minutes.

With the matter at this point, both the transcendental tower and the nine super enterprises were helpless.

They could only accept councilman gu Dongcheng’s suggestion.

Together with the Azure Alliance and the ordinary citizens’representatives, they formed a “Joint investigation team”to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Once the exciting drama was temporarily put to rest, Meng Chao heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that he was drenched in sweat.

However, there were still many things that Meng Chao did not quite understand about the surging currents in Dragon City.

“I found that many ordinary citizens seem to be very supportive of the ‘National Cultivation Law’. When everyone expressed their demands just now, thoroughly investigating the underground black market was only one aspect. Most of the time, they were asking the survival committee to pass the ‘National Cultivation Law’as soon as possible, right?”

Meng Chao asked Ai Lei at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of a skyscraper, which was about two kilometers away from Xinhui Business Center. It was near the window and could overlook the scene without being disturbed.

“Of course.”

Ai Lei said, “Who doesn’t want to receive guidance from a master teacher? Who doesn’t want to buy affordable cultivation resources? Who doesn’t want their children to have a higher chance of becoming extraordinary people?”

“If that’s the case, then I don’t understand.”

Meng Chao said, “Since it’s a great thing that’s beneficial to Dragon City, why do many of the top executives of the nine Super Enterprises seem to be very unsupportive of the National Cultivation Law?”?

“Let’s not talk about the principles. Let’s just say that their opposition to the National Cultivation Act makes ordinary people unhappy. It’s not good for them to stand on the Azure Alliance’s side!”

“It’s not that they don’t support it. It’s that they can’t support it.”

Ai lei explained, “A wise woman can not cook without rice. The National Cultivation Act is said to be a feast for the eyes. Of course, it sounds beautiful, but if it were to be implemented, where would the astronomical resources needed come from?”?

“Regardless of whether it’s the transcendental tower or the survival committee, they do not produce cultivation resources themselves. They are just porters of cultivation resources.

“If we really want to fully promote the ‘national cultivation law’, we can only use the nine super corporations and godly state experts to raise their tax rates significantly. We can consider imposing a ‘special inheritance tax’on godly state experts.

“However, raising taxes alone will not solve the problem. What comes from collecting taxes is money. Money is just a piece of white paper or even a string of numbers. When money can not buy cultivation resources, can white paper and numbers be used for cultivation?

“The result of constantly raising taxes is nothing more than pushing up the price of cultivation resources and creating more black markets.

“If we really want to solve this problem from the root, the transcendental tower and the survival committee must firmly control the vast majority of cultivation resources, namely the crystal ore veins and the grotto-heaven blessed lands that are suitable for the large-scale reproduction of monsters.

“Right now, the vast majority of the crystal ore veins around Dragon City, as well as the monster breeding grounds with rich spiritual energy, are in the hands of the nine Super Enterprises.

“The essence of the National Training Act is to seize the crystal ore veins and the monster breeding grounds from the hands of the nine Super Enterprises and the godly state experts who control the enterprises.

“How can they be willing to do that?”
