In the main building at the Demon Alliance Base.

Su Ge, Chu Yuan, Situ Hao, and a few of their subordinates trembled violently. They knew that their plan had already been exposed and that Y Country had betrayed them. In order to survive, they could only debase themselves, explain themselves, beg for mercy

Gu Changqing listened to their explanation as they shivered in fear. He picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip before he said with a faint smile, “You know better than anyone else whether those three nuclear bombs were meant for me or not.”

Gu Changqing’s smile looked threatening as he continued to say, “Do you know how I usually deal with my enemies?”

“Boss Gu, we really didn’t come to deal with you! Please believe us! That b*stard must be trying to sow discord and weaken us!” Su Ge continued to explain, trying to push the blame on Saman, the President of Y Country.

At this moment, Gu Changqing’s phone began to ring.

Seeing that it was a call from a satellite phone, he answered the call, putting it on loudspeaker.

“Who is it? What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Gu, I’m Xuanyuan Wangrui.”

“Oh, it’s Minister Xuanyuan. Did you call to condemn me?”

Apart from the matter he entrusted to Taotie, Vermillion Bird, and Wu Rui, Gu Changqing did not think there was any reason for Xuanyuan Wangrui to call him.

“Mr. Gu, you’re thinking too much. I have to tell you something very important,” Xuanyuan Wangrui said bluntly, “E Country just contacted us not long ago. The president said that he has a Divine Runemaster with six divine runes and asked if we needed his help to kill you.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing laughed. “He wants to kill me with just six divine runes? So, what was your answer to him?”

Xuanyuan Wangrui smiled wryly and said, “Isn’t it obvious by this phone call?”

Xuanyuan Wangrui continued to say earnestly, “Puig’s ambition to be the overlord of the world is obvious. The only one who can stop them is you. He’ll continue to think of ways to get rid of you so you have to be careful. The Nine Region Empire can’t lose you.”

Gu Changqing said with a satisfied smile, “Your attitude and decision didn’t disappoint me. As long as I’m in the Nine Region Empire, anyone who comes here won’t be able to act as they please.”

“That’s right. You’re the stabilizing force of our Nine Region Empire,” Xuanyuan Wangrui said sincerely.

“I won’t interfere in government matters. If there’s something that can’t be resolved, call me at any time. If I’m cultivating in seclusion, you can call Wu Rui,” Gu Changqing said.His voice turned cold as he continued to say, “I don’t care about E country at all. If they dare to provoke us, then I can only say that our Nine Region Empire’s territory is going to expand.

Gu Changqing was not joking. If E Country dared to assassinate him, the Nine Region Empire would definitely expand its territory!

When Xuanyuan Wangrui and the other two heard these words, whatever little prejudice they had against him also disappeared.

Finally, Xuanyuan Wangrui cleared his throat and said, “Your words are very reassuring. If there’s nothing else, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Gu Changqing said, “Lin Chen is not a good person. Keep an eye on him. If he dares to cross my bottom line, I’ll personally kill him.”

“Very well, we’ll take note of this. That’s it for now. We still have a meeting.”

After the call ended, Athena asked with a solemn expression on her face, “Mr. Gu, is there really a Divine Runemasters with six divine runes in E Country?”

“It should be true,” Gu Changqing said before he asked, “Are you afraid?”

Everyone knew about the tense relationship between M Country and E Country after all.

“It’d be a lie to say I’m not afraid, but fortunately, we both share a common enemy,” Athena said. Her expression eased, and a charming smile appeared on her face.

Gu Changqing did not respond and shifted his gaze back to Su Ge and the others.

Situ Hao no longer wanted to make excuses. He kneeled down and admitted his mistakes. He trembled as he pleaded, “Boss Gu, I know my mistakes! Please give me a chance. From now on, I’m willing to follow your lead and offer my company to you!”

Su Ge and Chu Yuan followed suit and fell to their knees as well. They knew there was no point in making up excuses now. Perhaps they would be able to survive if they apologized and begged for mercy.

“Yes, yes! We’re the same! Please give us a chance!”

Before Gu Changqing could announce their death sentence, Taotie; who was holding a laptop, Vermillion Bird, and Wu Rui walked in.

Taotie glanced at the group of people kneeling on the ground before he placed the laptop on the table in front of Gu Changqing. Then, he said, “I’ve already taken over Qiang Long Corporation. I left Su Ming to manage the company.”

“Boss, I’ve also taken over Huang Yu Corporation! The person in charge is called Situ Xuan,” Vermillion Bird said. Her voice was no longer hoarse. Instead, it sounded cute and charming.

Wu Rui chimed in, “Dong Sheng Corporation is also a part of our Demon Alliance Base now. The person in charge is called Chu Xiao.”

“What?!”

Upon hearing these words, Su Ge, Chu Yuan, and Situ Hao fell to the ground.

Gu Changqing smiled with satisfaction and said, “Very good. Wu Rui, get our men to drag these people out. Record it when you break their bones and behead them. Upload the video to Demon Net.”

Gu Changqing wanted everyone to see the outcome of his enemies.

“Alright,” Wu Rui said and quickly called a few people over.

Su Ge and the others no longer begged for mercy. They only laughed with a hint of madness and sorrow, thinking that they had brought this upon themselves.

At this time, Taotie said to Wu Rui, “Wait, we need their faces to log into their company’s account.”

Wu Rui smiled and said, “Brother Taotie, all we need to do is call the capital for this matter, and it’ll be resolved.”

Taotie smiled sheepishly. “I was worried for nothing. Indeed, with the boss’ identity, it really only takes one phone call to solve the issue.”

As soon Taotie’s voice fell, a few ordinary Divine Runemasters, who were on guard duty near the main building, walked in. After greeting Gu Changqing respectfully, they dragged the people on the ground out one after another.

Wu Rui followed them to record the video.

At this moment, Taotie thought of something so he said, “By the way, Boss, when I passed by Mount Kunlun on the way back, I heard a demi dragon’s roar. Should we go and kill it?”

Gu Changqing lit a cigarette for himself before he said, “I know. There’s no need to kill it. I’m planning to capture it and use it as a mount in the future.”

Taotie was slightly stunned by these words. Then, he gave Gu Changqing a thumbs-up and said, “As expected of the boss! How domineering! Alright, my stomach growling. I’m going to eat first.”

“Go,” Gu Changqing said with a nod.

Taotie nodded and left.

Meanwhile, Athena was struggling to maintain her composure. She could sense that Taotie was at least on par with her. She was really curious about how many powerful people Gu Changqing had under his command. In the end, she rose to her feet and said, “Mr. Gu, I’m going back to my room to wash up.”

Athena said before going upstairs.

Zhao Yuting had also gone upstairs a while ago so there were only Gu Changqing and Vermillion Bird left now.

Gu Changqing looked at Vermillion Bird and said with a smile, “There’s food left for you in the dining room. Go and eat.”

“Okay,” Vermillion Bird replied softly before she walked to the dining room. She had been waiting for these words.

With that, Gu Changqing also prepared to go into seclusion. There was a big battle waiting for him in four months.
