"A talking mutant beast? Can you inquire about his combat power?"
In a courtyard in Section A, Gao Wei hooked up the corner of his lips, clearly having great interest on a mutant beast that could talk. The man reporting said in a serious way, "Well, it is said that he is extremely combative, but as for specifically how strong he is, not many people in the capital have seen it, and our people planted in the southwest are not clear about it. However, from what he did today, we can see that he can talk and is highly intelligent, so he is definitely a unique high-level mutant beast."
"Do you think whether Yun Che will agree if I propose to exchange supplies for it with the supplies with him?"
This kind of high-level mutant beast was exactly what they needed.
"Probably not."
The man rejected his proposal without even thinking about it, Gao Wei waved his hand in defeat: "I knew it. For a man who has the secret of planting, supplies probably won't attract him. No one will easily let go of such a rare high-level mutant beast. It is so unfortunate for us that Yun Che and Xing Feng happen to be its masters. It seems like we don't have any other choice but to steal him secretly, right? "
He looked to be defeated but his eyes were dazzling, as if he had already had a plan to get Heiyu.
"You'd better not do anything to it, at least not before we leave."
Otherwise, they might not be able to leave safely!
The man did not say this out loud. Not to mention Xing Feng, whose capability were clear to them all, he had saw the video of Yun Che fighting in the Superfunction Association of Section C so he knew that Yun Che was not someone to mess up with. Moreover, he had a lot of level-six superfunction possessors with him all the time, and he also got Yun Cheng, who was clearly above level six. They would manage if they were still in the Northeast Base but now they were in the Capital Base, so they didn't stand a chance against them. If they were not careful, they might be killed. Yun Che didn't not seem to be a kind-hearted man.
"Not necessarily. Do you forget that I was a childhood friend with Xing Feng? In this way, it shouldn't be difficult to get close to them. The problem is how to get that high-level mutant beast. How many inhibitors do we have left?"
Gao Wei obviously holds a different view from him. After all, a mutant beast like Heiyu was rare, and he felt sorry for himself if he couldn't get that.
"About ten. Wei, I should probably…"
"I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't act rashly until I'm 100% sure."
Raising a hand to stop him, it was clear that Gao Wei had no intention to continue. The man looked at him for a long while before leaving helplessly. Gao Wei got up and walked to the window, his eyes looking over the blue sky and white clouds towards the villa section in Section C. What kind of a man was Yun Che exactly? Xing Feng was so devoted to him and he had so many things in his possession, even the mutant beast that was probably the only one in the world. It was really hard for him to suppress his interest in him.
Villa Section in Section C.
"Congratulations on refreshing my knowledge of you once again. You are just unbelievably despicable."
On the way back home, Yun Che and the others finally knew the whole story. As for the shameless blackmailing behavior of Heiyu while he could obviously use his strength to beat them, Yun Che expressed his utmost 'respect' from the bottom of his heart.
"I've learned it from you, haven't I? With you here, I'll never consider myself as an expert in this respect."
"What nonsense, I can't even compete with you. At least I know how to write morality, can you?"
Yun Che said seriously. Heiyu lowered his head to look at his paws in a somewhat stiffened way, "Damn, can you be more shamelessly?"
He only had four paws, so how could he write? Yun Che was simply shameless!
"I can't. When it comes to shamelessness, you are the titan."
Yun Che cupped his hands in a serious way. Xing Feng and other people were laughing so hard. From what they could see, the two were both shameless, so why were they being modest?
"Tssk, and now you're being modest."
Waving his paws, Heiyu jumped to the sofa and fished out an energy bar. Yun Che said as he patted Heiyu's head, "I should. Modesty is a virtue of our Chinese people, but today you have done a good job, and I guess we'll have a much easier job to do in the future."
After what Heiyu did and what Yun Cheng said to help clear Leng Mei's name and blame everything to Liu Xizhao, the man would have a hard time from now on. Although today those people gathering around were ladies and misses of these families and that they didn't have much real power, their men were all powerful. If they went home and talked about how cruel Liu Xizhao was to his son and that it was less likely that he would be mercy on others, people would have different ideas. Then it would be difficult for Liu Xizhao to remain as the president
"You're right, but with the current situation of the Capital Base, if Liu Xizhao steps down, someone will have to step up. Those major families are not convinced of each other so they will not have a chance to be president. I'm afraid we also have to be responsible for the successor."
Knowing what Yun Che meant, Xing Feng suppressed his laughter and said seriously. After what happened today, Liu Xizhao would not be president for long. Even if the Xiao Family were still willing to support him, how could the two families overpower the other major families.
"Xing Feng is right. We'd better choose a successor who will not impact us, or we just choose one of us to be the president but we can't choose it from the Xing or Mo families."
Tan Weiye also joined their conversation. Although Liu Xizhao was still the president, since his end had been foretold, it was natural to make early preparations.
"Do you think those old foxes can't think of what we have already thought of? I reckon grandpa and the others are probably working on these. Let's not worry. After all, we won't live in the capital in the future."
Mo Wenyang crossed his legs and leaned back, obviously not interested in this topic.
"This is not the case. Didn't you guys say that Gao Wei has great ambition and may have developed mutant human beings? If he really invades the major bases in the future, there is bound to be a base to stand out and fight against them. So the president of the capital base is undoubtedly the best candidate, right? If that really happens, we can't just stand by and do nothing. In the long run, it's better to have someone we can trust as the president."
Yun Cheng immediately refuted. Although for the time being, after Liu Xizhao stepped down, it was actually none of their business as to who would be the next president, but what about the future? There are too many variables in the doomsday, and it would be best for them to hold back a trick or two.
"Well, I agree with Cheng. As for the successor, I remember that many people from the Wang and Wei families are in the government, right? If we can convince them to stay in the capital, they will undoubtedly be the best choice."
Pausing for a moment, Yun Che continued, "I believe all major families should've received the intelligence that Wei Kan and Wang Wei are working together to help manage the southwest and they might think that the two families are now working for the Mo Family. Therefore, we'll have to put on a show with them. Tell people that they felt bitter because their military power was taken away and they hated Mr. Mo, so they were now laying low to find a chance to fight back. Just something like that. If some of those families are shaken, we'll have no problem in making one of them the president."
He just thought about it, and they would have to discuss on how to implement the plan. After all, those from major families were are not stupid.
"Well…this is a good idea. Then they may be eager to hand the power to the Wei Family or Wang Family. For one thing, they do not have military power in the capital, so they won't be a big threat. Even if Wei Kan manages to regain his military power, that would be in the Southwest Base, and they won't make much difference in the capital. Secondly, well, they can be informed of what is happening in the southwest with the help of Wei Kan and Wang Wei. We have revealed so many secrets of ours so they will surely send people undercover to the southwest. So if they have Wei Kan and Wang Wei as undercovers, there is no need for further trouble. And finally, if Wei Kan and Wang Wei really take back the military power to regain the control of the base, if one of them is elected as the president, we'll be able to establish a long and friendly relationship between the capital and the Southwest Base. It is the best choice to make one of them the president however we analyze the situation."
Xing Feng was just being Xing Feng. Yun Che had only put forward an idea, and he could already fill up the details.
"But, how can you guys be sure that the Wang or Wei family is actually reliable? Don't you guys forget that there are tens of thousands of police forces in the capital, and the president is the only one who has the right to command them. What if they get rid of us once they have enough manpower?"
Tan Weiye raised his suspicions, which was quite reasonable. When he met with Wei Kan and Wang Wei when he went to the Southwest Base, they did help Wenyang manage the base dutifully, but what about their families? Who could guarantee that they were not thinking about something else? Everything in this world could be foretold, the only exception being people's hearts. They didn't want to be working for others' benefit, which meant they would get more kicks than halfpence.
"This is simple. Convince the Wei Family and the Wang Family to stay here, and make one of them the president and another the vice president so that they can oversee each other. Meanwhile, Wei Kan and Wang Wei are still in the southwest so they have to think twice before making any move. Before helping them, we will surely meet those in charge of the two families and we'll make sure that they'll be clear that since we can help them, we can also easily destroy them."
They were all smart people, so once there was a goal, the means would naturally come.
"So you all agree?"
Glancing over them all, Tan Weiye sighed helplessly. His sole opposition meant nothing at all. Anyway, they had no better choice.
"There's no hurry. I'll talk to Wang Wei tomorrow. I'm more curious about what the Xiao Family will do."
Yun Che ended this topic, but started another. Xing Feng thought for a while and said, "From what I know about Senior Xiao, to protect the Xiao Family or simply for what he wants, he will ask Xiao Lan to divorce Liu Xizhao. People from their generation attach great importance to comradeship. Leng Mei's father was their comrade in the army, and Liu Xizhao humiliated Commander Leng's only daughter like this, so these old foxes will no longer tolerate him. It would be okay if this was still kept a secret, but now that Cheng had blatantly reveal the truth, Senior Xiao would not put up with this. He was old but he was not stupid. Whatever we can think of, he can, and he may be more visionary than us."
"I agree, and I bet that the Xiao Family will make a move soon enough. It will be no later than tomorrow."
Obviously, Mo Wenyang also had a certain understanding of those old men. To outsiders, they were brutal and unreasonable, but what hidden underneath the brutality was their shrewdness and decisiveness. If Senior Xiao had seen the situation clearly, he would not waste any time but make an immediate move now when Xiao Lan was still considered a victim.
"Well, I agree as well."
Tan Weiye naturally understood as well. Since the three of them all said so, Yun Che and Yun Cheng had nothing else to add. After all, those were beyond their range of expertise.
