Chapter 1567: Betrayer

The veins on Shen Yuanbao’s forehead and fist were intertwined and bulging.

It was as if others had seen through him and he had become angry out of embarrassment.

However, he remained silent for a long time. Facing Meng Chao’s spirit flame that was burning even more fiercely than his, he finally let out a long sigh and tried to convince others with virtue.

“That’s right. There are dead branches in a big tree. The Shen family and Universe Corporation have been developing for decades. With their current status and scale, it’s very normal for a few thieves, scum, and traitors to appear.”

Shen Yuanbao lamented, “I’m already old, and I suffered too many serious injuries when I was young. I’ve paid an unbearable price to maintain my Deity Realm.

“Today, although I’m in a better state than Battle God Lei Zongchao, I may burn my life and return to the earth one day.

“I can’t protect the Shen family and Universe Corporation forever.

“Therefore, I have been hiding from the family and corporation’s top management for a few years.

“I have delegated many key businesses in key areas to the younger generation without hesitation.

“Even if the younger generation makes mistakes occasionally, or even crosses the line sometimes, I’ll just observe them quietly and never advise, reprimand, or punish them.

“I just want to observe the abilities and character of these juniors. I want to see who’s suitable to inherit my life’s work, the Shen family, Universal Corporation, and even… some Deity Realm power!

“However, it seems that some of the juniors think that I am old and muddle-headed. They think that I, the Heaven Battering Leopard, am so old that I’ve lost all my claws and teeth. I’m so old that I can neither clench my fists nor lift my saber. I am so old that they can do whatever they want under my nose, but I can’t do anything to them. In fact, I’m so old that I can easily be killed by the assassins they send out?

“Hahahahaha!”

Shen Yuanbao laughed coldly.

His laughter was one of the most terrifying sounds that Meng Chao had ever heard.

“However…”

Shen Yuanbao’s laughter was suddenly upended by a long sigh. His eyes were empty, and his face was filled with sadness as he said, “Even Yan En betrayed me. This is indeed something that I never expected. Yan En, oh Yan En, how could you be so stupid? You have really made yourself stupid to death!”

Meng Chao asked, “Who is Yan En?”

“He’s my personal doctor. He’s also an orphan that I rescued from a ruin that was destroyed by a monster more than 30 years ago and raised with my own hands.”

Shen Yuanbao paused for a moment and said briefly, “At the same time, he’s also the person who poisoned my body.”

Meng Chao completely understood.

The Personal Doctor of a godly state expert was, of course, the person he trusted the most.

The orphan that was rescued from the ruins and raised by his own hands was, of course, more intimate than an ordinary foster son. Their relationship was not inferior to that of blood relatives.

Meng Chao himself had a similar experience.

Up to this day, he had long forgotten that there was no blood relationship between him and his parents. They had condensed into an unbreakable fated community that far exceeded the blood relationship.

Shen Yuanbao and that ‘Yan en’should have a similar relationship.

At least, in Shen Yuanbao’s eyes, it was a similar relationship.

Therefore, when Shen Yuanbao was seriously injured, he would feel at ease and boldly accept all the treatment plans proposed by this private doctor.

In the end, he fell for the other party’s words.

“Where is this ‘Yan en’?”

Meng Chao’s eyes flickered. “It’s highly possible that he’s a member of the Blood Union!”

“As I said earlier, he’s already dead.”

Shen Yuanbao retracted his dejected expression. It was as easy as putting his hand back into his pocket. He said coldly with a straight face, “Of course, I know the importance of keeping him alive. However, in that situation, with so many fire kirins attacking at the same time and me being poisoned, my life magnetic field was extremely unstable. It was very difficult for me to control myself.

“Moreover, even if I don’t kill him, as long as I’m not dead, it’s impossible for him to survive. Assassinating a godly state expert is the most dangerous gamble. If I don’t succeed, I can only die.

“He’s a top-notch doctor. There are a hundred ways to kill himself instantly.

“The clue to Yan en has been cut off. However, I’m curious. Since you don’t know Yan En, which clue did you follow all the way here?”

Meng Chao composed himself and omitted a lot of details. He talked about the underground black market and the ‘giant-toothed crocodile’.

He explained to shenyuan bao, “I can assure you that the Xinhui business building was not planned by the Azure Alliance in advance. It was a chain reaction caused by the eruption of the volcano in the hearts of the middle-and low-level extraordinaires.

“It makes sense. The price of cultivation resources on the black market is three, five, or even seven, eight times more expensive than in the regular market. It is obvious that the middle-and low-level extraordinaires with no background are being slaughtered like pigs. Who doesn’t have a lot of grievances?

“As far as I know, a large part of the genetic medicine and cultivation resources flowing into the black market come from pharmaceutical manufacturers related to the universal group. I wonder if senior Shen is aware of this, and do you think it is fair to do so?”

“… Fair?”

Shen Yuanbao did not answer Meng Chao’s question directly, “Young friend Meng, do you know how much people were willing to pay when I was young, in an era where order was broken and lawlessness was rampant, in order to snatch a crystal that was not of high quality but was barely condensed into form?

“They were willing to risk their lives to kill until their limbs were mutilated, their intestines were pierced through, and their heads were rolling!

“My cultivation resources have all been stepped on by countless people and snatched over by my own fists.

“The other godly state experts in the nine super corporations, and even the martial god Lei Zongchao, are all the same as me.

“Unlike the young people who are full of complaints today, we have never complained before.

“Because after experiencing the cruel era where the strong preyed on the weak and the winner became king, we are very clear that from ancient times to today, from Earth to the Otherworld, there has always been a distinction between the strong and the weak in this world, and there is No ‘fairness’!

“In today’s dragon city, cultivation resources can be placed on the shelves, and they can be bought with money. The question of the highest price is already a very rare fairness since ancient times.

“Sometimes, I really don’t know what these middle-and low-level extraordinaires, who come from humble families, are thinking about.

“Do they expect to be able to buy priceless rare resources without spending a lot of money?

“Do they expect the whole society to Pamper them, let them be pampered, let them be pampered, and let them cultivate to become peerless experts without experiencing any hardships?

“Do they expect the benefits of the nine great cultivation families to be delivered to them instead of their own people?

“Do they really think that they are exactly the same as the descendants of the noble families?

“No way! No Way!”
