Chapter 828 Taking advantage of the situation
Dragon City.
The meeting room of the administration office.
"Chief, last night, several superhumans attacked our forward posts."
"We lost several men and were forced to retreat several hundred meters."
"Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I'm certain they were Liu Chao's men."
One of his subordinates was reporting the situation to Zhou Meng, the director of the administrative department.
"That bastard Liu Chao!"
Zhou Meng's face darkened, and he couldn't help but curse in public.
A few days ago, he and Liu Chao had already reached an agreement.
Both sides temporarily suspended their actions and resolved the issue through negotiation.
Unexpectedly, that bastard Liu Chao not only negotiated on the surface but also secretly sent people to launch a sneak attack.
"What's the situation with An Wenjing and He Jiang?"
Zhou Meng looked at the other person.
"As you instructed, I sent them many valuable gifts."
"Although they accepted the gifts, they did not explicitly say that they would help you deal with Liu Chao; they just said they would think about it."
Upon hearing his subordinates' reply, Zhou Meng couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Damn, those two old foxes!"
"There's one more thing I need to tell you, Director."
Peng Jing, who had been sitting silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
“In the past week, a total of thirteen riots have broken out in the areas we control.”
"Although the situation was quickly quelled, it still caused considerable damage."
Liu Chao and Pan Mao were on good terms.
After Pan Mao's death, Liu Chao successfully took over his enforcement team.
This is why he was able to simultaneously contend with Zhou Meng's administrative office and Peng Jing's inspection team.
Without law enforcement officers to maintain order, Peng Jing's inspection team had to double as an enforcement team.
As the Brotherhood fell into infighting, Dragon City descended into chaos, with riots breaking out every few days.
"These rioters deserve to die!"
Zhou Meng gritted his teeth and said...
“Vice President Peng, all the rioters who are caught should be hanged in the street as a warning to others!”
"Yes, sir."
Peng Jing nodded in agreement.
"The chaos in Longcheng is inextricably linked to that bastard Su Chen!"
"Once I have the situation under control, I will definitely take action against the Watchmen."
Zhou Meng blamed all these things on Su Chen.
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Peng Jing's face.
Seeing this, Zhou Meng quickly comforted him.
"Old Peng, I wasn't talking about you, don't take it to heart."
"Back then, you were also deceived by that bastard Su Chen."
Peng Jing gave an awkward laugh and said nothing more.
While everyone was having a meeting, a subordinate suddenly rushed in.
"Director, Liu Chao sent someone over, saying he wants to negotiate with you!"
"negotiation?"
Zhou Meng's face was full of suspicion.
He had just negotiated with Liu Chao yesterday, but no progress was made.
They agreed to renegotiate three days later.
Why is Liu Chao already negotiating again after only one day?
"Director, I have a feeling that Liu Chao, that bastard, is up to no good!"
They had already suffered several losses at Liu Chao's hands, so Peng Jing was particularly wary.
Zhou Meng's expression shifted between light and dark.
He had always wanted to end his struggle with Liu Chao as soon as possible.
After all, if we keep delaying, we'll only be wasting the Brotherhood's resources.
"Let's talk to him and see what he's up to!"
"Let's get ready!"
Hearing him say that, Peng Jing stopped insisting.
"Alright, I'll have someone arrange it right away!"
……
A wasteland in Dragon City.
The area is completely bare; there's nowhere to hide.
Zhou Meng and Liu Chao previously negotiated here.
After noon, Zhou Meng led his men to the wasteland.
Liu Chao and his men had been waiting for a long time!
"So, Chaozi, what's your decision?"
As soon as Zhou Meng approached, he said somewhat impatiently,
"You should fully support me in becoming the president first, and after I finish my term, I will support you as the next president!"
As usual, Liu Chao would only make sarcastic remarks to Zhou Meng.
However, to Zhou Meng and Peng Jing's surprise, Liu Chao said resentfully,
"Let's put the president's matter aside for now!"
"I've called you here today because I have something important to discuss!"
"What could be more important than electing the president?"
Zhou Meng said dismissively.
"For example, if the Watchmen attacked!"
Liu Chao said in a deep voice.
Zhou Meng was stunned for a moment.
Peng Jing, who was standing to the side, also felt a jolt in his heart.
Su Chen called?
"What exactly happened? Chaozi, tell me quickly!"
Zhou Meng urged.
Liu Chao lit a cigarette, his face quite grim.
Do you know that stone mine on the far east side?
"of course I know!"
Zhou Meng nodded.
The so-called stone mine is one of several raw stone mines under the Brotherhood's name.
It is located in the eastern part of Tay Son province and is named Stone Mine because of the abundance of rocks in the surrounding area.
After the internal strife within the Brotherhood, Liu Chao sent men to seize the stone mine and two other raw stone mines.
"I just received news that the Watchers Alliance, led by Su Chen, has captured the Stone Mine!"
Upon hearing Liu Chao's words, Zhou Meng gasped.
With monsters becoming increasingly rare, the significance of raw stone mines to any faction is self-evident.
Whoever controls the raw stone mine will be able to continue evolving and possess overwhelming power!
"That bastard Su Chen is trying to take advantage of our misfortune!"
Zhou Meng cursed viciously, then continued,
"Chaozi, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"How do I want to solve this? By taking him down, of course!"
Liu Chao sneered.
"But with my own strength alone, I should not be a match for the Watchers League."
"That's why I asked you to come here today to discuss this!"
Zhou Meng instantly understood what Liu Chao meant.
He didn't speak immediately, but instead started to think about how he could take this opportunity to make Liu Chao back down.
How do you want to discuss this?
"It's simple, let's join forces and take down Su Chen!"
"Haha, why should I team up with you?"
Zhou Meng crossed his arms over his chest, a mocking expression on his face.
"The Watchers are occupying your ore mine, not mine!"
"Old Zhou, no matter how much we argue, we're still on the same side, still brothers!"
“Su Chen is different. He’s an outsider, and he even killed the chairman!”
Liu Chao, unlike his aggressive demeanor of the previous days, offered kind words of advice.
"It's not impossible for you to ask me to help you deal with Su Chen."
Zhou Meng said slowly,
"But the prerequisite is that you agree to let me be the president."
"Otherwise, you can deal with Su Chen yourself!"
Liu Chao was furious upon hearing this.
"Zhou Meng, stop kicking me when I'm down!"
"If you really push me too far, I'll cooperate with Su Chen!"
Zhou Meng was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was amused.
"Okay, go ahead!"
"If you want to cooperate with Su Chen, then I'll bring Lao Jiu and the others back. Let's see what you do then!"
