Chapter 2992: How Will You Thank Me?

This high-level meeting didn’t last very long. First, Ye Luo’s Strength gave them huge confidence, so when it came to the safety of Tong Yao Group, the big stone in their hearts finally dropped.

What they had to do next was just to expand their defensive power—and grab more benefits!

Right now, all the other corporate groups were in danger and only cared about self-preservation, so they weren’t that eager about other interests.

After all, the development of military power had already been put in the number one position now!

The city’s defensive power couldn’t possibly protect every single company! The higher-ups of those companies all understood this. Otherwise, every company wouldn’t have its own Strength.

However, the resources and profits in this city were limited after all. If Tong Yao Group could make good use of this opportunity, it would definitely become a super enterprise in this city, leaving forces like Zhongzhou Group far, far behind.

After that, Ye Luo followed Tong Yao to her office.

“I helped you get through another crisis. How are you going to thank me?” As soon as he walked into the office, Ye Luo asked with a grin.

Tong Yao glanced at him. “Isn’t that your job? Besides, you’ve already taken plenty of advantage. Doing a bit of work is what you should do, right?”

Taking advantage? Ye Luo understood. Last time he’d practically seen her whole body. Even though nothing ended up happening, for a pure, untouched girl, the fact that she hadn’t gone all out to kill him was already his good fortune.

Ye Luo laughed loudly. “Right, you’re sure this matter really has nothing to do with Zhongzhou Group?”

Tong Yao shook her head immediately. “That I can be sure of! Zhongzhou Group is overall a bit stronger than us, but they definitely haven’t developed to that level. Otherwise, they would already have seized more resources! Besides, although military tech is top secret for every company, everyone has a clear idea of the general level!”

“So, by that logic, this time was just an accident?” Ye Luo narrowed his eyes and asked.

Tong Yao let out a sigh. “That’s exactly why all the companies in the city are panicking. There are strong Cultivators among Cultivators—you know that better than I do. But no matter how many such Cultivators stir up trouble in the city, the companies wouldn’t really care! Now it’s different. These Ultra Combat Robots we’ve seen represent an underground force whose technological level is ahead of all the companies, surfacing from the shadows. And behind a force like that, how many such robots are there? How many advanced weapons and how much Strength do they have? All of that is unknown to us! But one thing’s certain: if tech has developed to that level, it’s enough to wipe out the entire city!”

Ye Luo didn’t feel much attachment to the city. What he cared about was just the Transmission Array.

“Right now, your deterrence can reassure quite a few people. But anyone who truly understands the situation knows that in a crisis like this, personal Strength can’t change much.” Tong Yao sighed.

Ye Luo agreed with that, but she still didn’t understand Ye Luo’s true Strength. When personal Strength reaches a certain level, it’s enough to destroy a world.

Take Ye Luo himself: at present, after fusing with the Mecha, saving Tong Yao Group wasn’t impossible for him. But it would also force him into deep danger. When it came down to it, the reason he was staying at Tong Yao Group now was mostly because of the Transmission Array information and Tong Yao’s presence. Strip all that away, and Tong Yao Group meant nothing to him.

“What if I train a unit of Mecha pilots who can achieve perfect fusion?” Ye Luo suddenly chuckled.

Tong Yao’s expression immediately turned serious. “That would be epoch-making! For Tong Yao Group and for this city both!”

“Then how will you thank me?” Ye Luo smiled as he looked at her.

For some reason, Tong Yao’s face actually turned slightly red.

“Let’s wait until you’ve really trained those pilots before we talk about that.”

Ye Luo smiled. In fact, he’d just been joking.

Leaving the office, Ye Luo headed to the Mecha Division’s training camp. Because of the special situation, the number of pilots had already expanded to thirty.

Ye Luo naturally had no objections to that. After all, this training didn’t require him to put in much effort. He only needed to help them condense their Divine Sense in the final stage—this didn’t cost him anything.

However, secrecy was a must. On each of these pilots, he left a Divine Sense imprint. Once someone leaked the secret, they would immediately be swallowed by the power of the Curse, making it fundamentally impossible for anything to leak.

Within this city, Ye Luo was very confident: no one could remove his Divine Sense imprint!

His Divine Sense was extremely powerful across the entire Demon Realm now. Of course, the truly terrifying part of his Divine Sense wasn’t its sheer magnitude—those old monsters far surpassed him there. His Strength lay in the refinement of his Divine Sense. Tempered by the Fire Origin and Chaotic Power, the purity of his Divine Sense might already have reached the level of an ancient great powerhouse.

“Chairman Ye!”

Seeing Ye Luo arrive, these people immediately crowded around.

“Not bad, you’ve been training hard these days.”

While training, they’d been taking Gene Potion provided by the company. This stuff had a very significant effect on strengthening the body.

But it had to be combined with high-intensity training. These people’s bodies had completely risen by a whole level, clearly the result of devil-style training.

This couldn’t help but make Ye Luo think of Luo Xue. She had also taken Gene Potion, but she’d chosen to go into seclusion. This potion wasn’t exactly rare in the city, just a bit expensive. The big shots all tried to get some; at the very least, it could extend their lifespan.

However, the truly precious Gene Potions weren’t something ordinary people could obtain—or rather, they demanded very particular physiques. The potion Luo Xue had acquired was definitely extraordinary. After all, ordinary potions were meaningless to a Cultivator.

Thinking of that, Ye Luo suddenly realized he’d overlooked something.

That was that the King of Assassins had definitely come to this city as well. With his skills, he would certainly be living large here. It was entirely possible he’d left something behind for Luo Xue.

Maybe, this city held a stroke of fortune for her!

“Alright, keep training. In a few days, I’ll come guide you again.”

Although he could easily let them achieve perfect fusion with the Mecha, that didn’t mean that once they fused, they would have the kind of Strength Ye Luo had with his Mecha! That misconception had probably misled everyone.

The Mecha’s Strength was actually tied to the pilot’s own Strength to a certain extent.

Moreover, Ye Luo’s Strength far surpassed the Mecha. The Mecha was merely a cover for his Strength. Whether these pilots’ Mecha could withstand those Ultra Combat Robots was still an unknown.
