1016 Incorrigible

\"Good!\" Although McGregor did not understand, he knew that the mysterious man was a firm supporter of Hong Dali. He definitely had his reason for saying that. It was easy to stand by someone when they were successful, but to stand by someone when they were in need was difficult. This time, he supported them unconditionally. Once the crisis passed, the benefits he reaped would be much better as well.

If they did not make it this time… if they were going to die, they would all die together. It was no big deal.

McGregor had taken the lead and answered. Hence, the rest naturally had to go along. They all nodded in unison and said, \"Okay!\"\"No problem!\"

And so, this meeting was called in a short time and ended quickly. In just a few minutes, everyone had left.

After everyone had left, Hong Dali walked in with the Bureau Chief. Hong Dali sat down with a smile. His expression was relaxed and there was no trace of nervousness at all.

\"Haha, brat. Speaking of which, your luck is really impossibly good.\" The mysterious man laughed and patted Hong Dali's shoulder. \"We were just worried that there would not be enough time, and the silly Top Operatives sent us a gift! Haha!\"

\"Yeah.\" The Bureau Chief nodded vehemently. He, too, was in a good mood. \"With what the Top Operatives are doing, all we have to do is drag the time out a little, that's all. Hehe.\"

\"I thought that I would have to go out and fight together with the Golden Emperor Beetle. I didn't expect this to happen.\" Hong Dali laughed. \"This will make our next move so much easier. We just have to make sure everyone on the planet gets angry and make it seem like they are all trying to capture me. Komodo will definitely be secretly monitoring everything that is going on here. Once he sees that everyone is trying to catch me, he won't mind too much even if some time passes. After all, two or three days will make no difference to him.\"

\"Yes, as long we can hold out till the King Zergs finish merging with your men, the rest will be easy.\" The mysterious man thought for a while, then frowned. He touched his chin and suddenly said, \"What if they are not that patient? What if they start attacking?\"

\"That would be a problem.\" Hong Dali muttered to himself, then he suddenly laughed. \"I got it!\"

Hong Dali had always been quick-witted, and both the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief knew it.

He might be usually heartless and thoughtless, but when it came to the crucial point, his ideas were usually very good and beyond other people's imagination.

\"What is it?\" asked both the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief.

\"We can sow dissension!\" Hong Dali chuckled. His laughter was so cunningly sinister, even the worldly-wise Mysterious Man and the Bureau Chief felt their scalps go numb when they heard it.

\"Quick, tell us. How are we going to sow dissension?\" asked the mysterious man anxiously.

\"There is a person named Ko Gohon from Jaban, or Ran Asakawa as she is known now. Do you remember him, Grandpa Mysterious?\" Hong Dali waggled his eyebrows and chuckled.

Ko Gohon, the sole heir of the Toyoda Conglomerate, had completely lost against Hong Dali when they went up against each other. It was beyond the mysterious man's expectations for Hong Dali to bring him up now.

\"You mean, Ko Gohon from the Toyoda Conglomerate?\" said the mysterious man.

\"Yes, that's him.\" Hong Dali grinned. \"Think about it, the relationship between Jaban State and our Heavenly State has never been good, right? If in this situation, they contact the High Nobles and provide some leads. Then, then ask for a reward, that will be reasonable, right?\"

After Hong Dali explained it, both the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief suddenly understood. The Bureau Chief burst out laughing. \"Brat, You're really incorrigible! The time limit given by Komodo is 2 days. We can wait until time is almost up, then have Ko Gohon send someone to contact the High Nobles. They can say that everyone on Earth is looking for you and provide them with some leads. Next, they can probably request to be allowed to help attack our Heavenly State, or even ask that they be made the supreme leader of New Earth.\"

The mysterious man added, \"Hehe, Komodo will be very interested to hear of this. He will be very happy to see everyone trying their best to locate you. It will be in line with his own aims. As long as we can drag it out by another day, the King Zergs…\"

At this point, the three of them looked at each other and began to chuckle evilly!

In the following two days, everyone on New Earth went into a frenzy.

People protests on the streets, shouting at the top for their voices. They shouted for Hong Dali to be taken down and for him to be hunted down. Their emotions ran high and many strong men were even smashing everything related to Hong Dali.

All the posters related to Hong Dali had been smeared beyond recognition. People spat on Hong Dali's sculpture and threw eggs at it. They all behaved like they could not wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

As the people outside fanned the flames of the crowds' dissent, this was what the ones behind the scenes were doing—

\"Smear Hong Dali's reputation and don't stop inciting dissent in the people. Such protests must not stop. Do you hear me?\"

\"Look and see where there is news of Hong Dali, put everyone on it! The replies must hunt him out one way or another. Find him!\"

\"Leak some fake news, say that Hong Dali is hiding and refuses to show himself!\"

\"Right, right. Smash all of the businesses Hong Dali's family has a stake in. Leave nothing untouched!\"

Instructions like these came in waves. Countless people behind the scenes were adding fuel to the fire.

At the same time, the protagonists of this event, Hong Dali, Hong Weiguo, and Lan Ruoxi, were leisurely drinking tea and chit-chatting with the mysterious man, the Bureau Chief, and several other officials.

\"Weiguo, bear with it. When the matter has blown over, I will give your businesses a boost.\" The mysterious man sipped his tea and said, \"For now, just let them smash whatever. Anyway, everything has already been smashed and is worthless.\"

\"Don't worry. I understand.\" Hong Weiguo smiled. In fact, this was what his previous plan was like.

When people encountered an unforeseen event, they needed a place to release their pent up frustrations.

His Sangle Building had been destroyed and that was fine. He could simply rebuild later. However, it was a good thing if the people had managed to relieve some of their stress by smashing it.

\"This time, we will keep the High Nobles happy for a few days.\" Lan Ruoxi twitched her lips and looked at Hong Dali. Her eyes were full of love. \"Dali, people's emotions are very unstable now. Don't take it too personally. Don't look at them and perhaps it won't upset you too much.\"

\"Hehe, Mum, I know.\" Hong Dali rubbed his nose and smiled. \"Anyway, our motive is to buy some time. When Xinxin and Li Yang have completed their fusion and the King Zergs' abilities are up a notch, we will settle our scores with them!\"

Time. What Hong Dali needed most now was time.

As long as they managed to hold out for the 72 hours required for the merger, they could send the Top Operatives to hell!

The King Zerg could deal with the Stellar-level Space Carriers easily. They were at a disadvantage because the enemy's fleet was too big. Once the King Zergs had merged with the lackeys and all gained abilities, the enemy's advantage in terms of numbers would no longer matter.

As for the little suffering now, Hong Dali didn't take it to heart at all.

How else would he see the rainbow without going through a storm? In order to gain something, he had to be willing to give up something else. Hong Dali knew that long ago.

\"Forty-five hours have already passed, right?\" The Bureau Chief looked at the time. \"It's time to send our spies out.\"

When he said that, the few of them looked at each other at the same time and they all suddenly burst out laughing.

…

New Earth, in a manor inside New Tianjing City in the Heavenly State.

Ran Asakawa, who used to be Ko Gohon, was dressed in an alluring, long dress. She looked at a subordinate in front of her. \"Begin implementing the plan now. Remember, you must work hard to deceive them, and no matter what, do not let them find out what our plan is.\"

\"Yes, I understand!\" The man then left.

\"Hehe.\" After the man left, Ran Asakawa laughed scornfully. She muttered. \"It's really great being on Hong Dali's side. Those idiots were against me every step of the way previously and I was worried I would not get a chance to get back at them. I did not expect to have them served to me on a platter this time, haha!\"

…

New Earth, Heavenly State, inside an ordinary house in New Tianjing City.

At this time, there were already several members of Yamaguchi-gumi from Jaban surrounding the house. They were all armed with machine guns.

\"Reporting, we have discovered Hong Dali's whereabouts!\" A Yamaguchi-gumi member reported to his superior in a low voice. \"Hong Dali and his lackeys are in the basement of this house. His lackeys are very strong, we dare not attack them.\"

Another member said, \"Everyone regards him as an enemy now. He has nowhere to go. If we can catch him, we might be able to ask the High Nobles to let New Earth off!\"

Soon, there was a low voice heard over the communicator. \"Surround him. Remember, you are not his match, please be careful. Do not let him realize you are there! We have our own way of dealing with him. All you have to do is watch him carefully and report his every movement to me!\"

\"Understand!\" And so, several members of \"Yamaguchi-gumi\" waited solemnly.

…

In a building somewhere.

This was an office of the Jaban State in the Heavenly State.

As one of the countries on old Earth, Jaban State retained its people after coming here. Of course, the physical country no longer existed. However, as proud and noble Jabanese, many Jabanese right-wingers secretly set up this office, which was the base of operations for the Jaban State. The head of the Jaban State and the Prime Minister all worked in this building.
