Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1768
1768 The Root of All Evil
Even so, many of the Blood Alliance’s higher-ups were still hesitant.
Many of them still assumed that they were lucky, thinking that they had hidden well and that they might not be discovered.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Yun Feidian was not caught.
“Do you guys think that you can still get away with this?”
!!
The sharp Yun Feidian read their emotions. He narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly. “You think that since Meng Chao and the others haven’t done anything to me while I’m in Dragon City Stadium, it means the situation isn’t serious to the point where it’s beyond our control? If we use some of our connections and think of a way, there will still be peace?
“Don’t be naive. The reason Meng Chao and the others haven’t attacked me is not that they lack evidence, and it’s not that they don’t know where I am. It’s just that they haven’t come up with a plan on how to deal with the shocking scandal that Thundercloud Technology’s leader is the Blood Alliance’s president. They haven’t even come up with a plan on how to deal with it, and the storm in the financial market that will come with it.
“However, it won’t be long before they draw up an emergency plan and mobilize enough resources, as well as funds, to resolve the scandal and stabilize the market.
“When that time comes, it will be our deaths!
“None of us can dream of escaping this storm.
“Listen, Meng Chao has started to explain the beast horde that just broke out at the city center and the Golden Roc’s explosion to all the Dragon City citizens. He has even attributed all the conflicts between the rich and the poor, the superhumans and ordinary people, as well as the nine mega corporations and the Azure Alliance, since our victory in the Monster War to the Blood Alliance!
“It’s true that the Blood Alliance has been stirring up trouble by taking advantage of their conflicts.
“With that said, were the conflicts created by the Blood Alliance? Without the Blood Alliance, would there be fewer conflicts? Of course not!
“However, as I said just now, the truth isn’t important, but interests are. Now that the mega corporations and the Azure Alliance are ready to abandon their previous grudges and work together, they need a scapegoat to push all the blame on.
“The Blood Alliance, you and I, are the scapegoats. We are the sacrifices that all classes and interest groups in Dragon City have to pay in unity.
“If the offerings are not enough, neither the people nor the gods will be satisfied.
“It would be great if we were truly killed, but I’m afraid that we’ll be captured and tortured as the villains. Then, the Blood Alliance, you, and I will be accused of all the dirty deeds. We’ll be tied up and sent to trial in front of everybody to confess our crimes. We’re doomed to be infamous for ten thousand years!”
All the Blood Alliance leaders could not help but shiver at his words.
Indeed, most of them had been brave and fearless even before they had joined the Blood Alliance.
They had relied on their blood-soaked battles with monsters time and time again to obtain great military achievements. That was how they managed to secure their key positions in their families and companies.
After joining the Blood Alliance, they were even more aware that they were walking on a treacherous path of no return. One moment of carelessness and they would fall into the abyss and be crushed into pieces.
They might not have been that afraid of death.
They had even made preparations to put up a desperate resistance and die together.
However, if death did not come instantly, if they were imprisoned, tortured, and tried, they would have to lower their heads and admit their guilt in front of millions of Dragon City citizens—most of whom were ordinary people they regarded as ants. They would even have to admit to crimes that they had never committed. In the end, they would be forever engraved in the history books of Dragon City as clowns.
It was a punishment that was a hundred times worse than death.
They would rather die than face such a fate.
“You can take a gamble.”
Yun Feidian said coldly, “I wager that all of you, including me, won’t be caught by Meng Chao and the others. Even if we’re caught, our mouths will be as hard as iron. No matter how they try to threaten or tempt us, we won’t let go and admit that we’re in the same gang as them.”
The Blood Alliance’s higher-ups were silent.
They had originally been united because of the benefits. Some had even been coerced by Yun Feidian and kidnapped by the Blood Alliance.
Naturally, they had no loyalty to the Blood Alliance or to each other.
If they asked themselves, no matter who it was, if they fell into Meng Chao’s or their old man’s hands, their captors would not even have the time to use torture tools. To reduce their crimes, they would spill everything they knew.
“If you’re too afraid to gamble, then there are only two choices left,” Yun Feidian said.
“You can end your own life in the most comfortable and straightforward way, or you can listen to me and hide in the wilderness.”
The leaders of the Blood Alliance were deep in thought.
There was only silence in the secret communication channel.
While they remained silent, Meng Chao, who was on the dozens of screens beside them, began to reveal the findings of his investigation. He told the Dragon City citizens about the existence of the new Blood Alliance.
This piece of news set off a huge wave, and it was no less shocking than when Meng Chao introduced the Turan civilization to everyone.
After all, the people of Dragon City might not know what the “Turan orcs” were.
However, the slightly older of them all remembered the dark and cruel era when they were ruled by the Blood Alliance decades ago. They knew what it was like before the Survival Committee and the Supernatural Tower were established.
Meanwhile, the younger ordinary citizens who had not experienced the Blood Alliance era feared and hated the Blood Alliance more than the older people.
The older men had a deep understanding of the Blood Alliance through their own observations and contact.
The young people, on the other hand, could only understand the Blood Alliance indirectly through various files and canonical texts.
The files and canonical texts had all been collected, sorted, and written by the nine mega corporations that had defeated the Blood Alliance, divided their winnings, and made a fortune.
Naturally, there was not a single good word about the Blood Alliance.
They only exaggerate the evil and cruelty of the Blood Alliance by ten times.
Therefore, when the name “Blood Alliance” floated in Dragon City’s sky like a ghost, 99% of the citizens believed that the recent beast tide outbreak, the Golden Roc’s explosion, the earlier explosion of the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse, the assassination attempt on Shen Yuanbao, and even the conflicts between the mega corporations and the Azure Alliance in the past year had all been caused by the Blood Alliance.
The Blood Alliance was the root of all evil.
It was the Blood Alliance that had corrupted the simple, brave, selfless, and fearless superhumans.
As long as the Blood Alliance was eradicated, everything would be fine!
The anger of countless people soon gathered into rolling thunder.
When that thunder surged into the ears of the Blood Alliance leaders, there was only one path left before them: a path full of bitterness, humiliation, regret, and despair.
