“There’s one more thing.”
Meng Chao said, “I think we should set up a brand new investigation agency to investigate crimes committed by superhumans.”
That suggestion startled Shen Yuanbao slightly.
“Isn’t there already an adjudicator court?”
Shen Yuanbao said, “The adjudicator court is an organization that specializes in dealing with the crimes of superhumans. In the past ten years, they have arrested and even killed many who have gone berserk and endangered the safety of ordinary people. Their approach and achievements are well known.”
“I admit that the adjudicator court is indeed impartial when it comes to dealing with the mentally deranged and out-of-control superhumans.”
Meng Chao said, “But I’m not referring to the violent crimes of superhumans. I’m referring to commercial crimes and civil violations.
“In fact, the people who are mentally deranged, out of control, and unscrupulous about using extraordinary powers to destroy cities are, after all, few. No matter how much damage they cause, we can quantify it.
“However, using extraordinary power to seek illegal commercial interests and infringe on the ordinary people’s legitimate rights, security, and sense of gain happen more frequently in secret. It affects them directly.
“In the past decades, Dragon City has been busy dealing with the invasion of zombies and monsters. Superhuman regulation has been limited to the level of ‘do not endanger the personal safety of ordinary people.’ There isn’t enough power to investigate many acts of infringement and unfair competition clearly. Besides, there’s also a lack of control and incentive in this area. Instead, the privilege of being superior to others is treated as a carrot dangling in front of the superhumans. It attracts the superhumans to train and fight desperately.
“Such a strategy isn’t wrong, but it’s said to only be a temporary measure at the moment of life and death.
“But now that the war has ended and Dragon City is about to enter an explosive golden period of development, temporary measures cannot go on forever.
“In particular, according to my suggestion just now, the nine mega corporations should set up a foundation and participate in the development of Dragon City’s infrastructure and colonization. There are too many loopholes that can be exploited, and the profits that can be reaped are simply too abundant. If I don’t be the ‘bad guy’ and set up an organization like the Superhuman Commercial Crime Bureau to make an example of the others and enforce discipline, I’m afraid that the so-called foundation will become a tool for the superhumans to seek personal profits again. The gap between the fat superhumans and the hungry ordinary people will grow increasingly large. In the end, it will turn into a gap that will tear our civilization apart!”
Shen Yuanbao instinctively rejected the proposal.
He did not think that Meng Chao could really set up such a Superhuman Commercial Crime Bureau and lock all the superhumans, especially the peerless fighters from the nine mega corporations, in cages. It would not work even if he included Lu Siya.
However, Meng Chao’s words made him consider his own family for some reason.
He thought of his own useless people.
The truth was, even though he had been living in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain Range to recuperate, he could still picture the infighting, public affairs, and personal affairs within Universe Corporation.
After all, he was the one who had done the rest of the dirty work in the past.
If one did not take matters in one’s own hands, the heavens would destroy the earth. Although Shen Yuanbao was an invincible warrior, how could he stop the people under him and reap benefits for himself?
‘If I can set up such a Commercial Crime Bureau within Universe Corporation, it would be good to kill my prodigal sons’ evil tendencies,’ Shen Yuanbao thought to himself.
‘However, such an organization has to be firmly under my control.
‘Just an investigation bureau and an adjudicator court are troublesome enough. How can I set up another powerful organization and tie another shackle to myself?’
While Shen Yuanbao thought about all this, he did not reveal any emotion on his face. He asked with a blank face, “Is there anything else besides this?”
“There is the last one, which is also the most important one.”
Meng Chao said, “If the last one can’t be realized, then all the suggestions we talked about before will be castles in the air. Dragon City will still be doomed. It’ll be destined to burn in the flames of the apocalypse!”
“Oh?”
Shen Yuanbao’s interest was piqued. He leaned forward slightly and asked, “The last one, what is it?”
“The last one is regarding military force.”
Meng Chao said, “Since ancient times, any innovation would grind the gears of vested groups, and they would vehemently oppose it. Without the support of absolute military force, it would be impossible to push forward.
“Right now, most of Dragon City’s combat ability lies in the hands of the peerless fighters and the Red Dragon Army.
“Throughout history, I have never seen a powerful civilization whose absolute force is divided into two, yet it’s still invincible and has a long history.
“If we want the Dragon City civilization to avoid the apocalypse and even become the ruler of the Other World, the first thing we need to do is to establish a supreme combat command center above the corporate arms of the Red Dragon Army and the nine mega corporations. It’ll be similar to the Ministry of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“Without the authorization of the supreme combat command center, no organization, force, corporation, or even the peerless fighters themselves have the authority to fight against the outside world. If they go against orders, they will all be punished for the crime of treason!”
Shen Yuanbao suddenly stood up and stared at Meng Chao.
“What’s the logic behind this?”
Shen Yuanbao said, “It wasn’t easy for me to cultivate to the Deity Realm to roam the four seas and sweep across all corners of the world. I rejoice in enmity as I look down on the world.
“Don’t tell me that I need the approval of others, or even ordinary people, to conquer the Other World?”
“Yes.”
Meng Chao nodded. “We mustn’t overlook the soldiers, the major events of the country, the places of life and death, as well as the way of life and death.
“A Deity Realm warrior’s combat ability is comparable to that of an army. His stealth, mobility, and endurance far exceed that of an ordinary army. The damage and impact that he can cause are too great.
“In your opinion, ‘traversing the four seas, sweeping across the eight desolate regions, enjoying gratitude and hatred, and looking down on the world’ is your business.
“However, in the eyes of the Other World natives that you ‘swept away,’ they don’t know who ‘Shen Yuanbao’ is. They only know you as an Earthling and a demon from a foreign land. They will only tie your actions to the entire Dragon City civilization.
“Once you, the Shen family, and Universe Corporation do anything that incurs the wrath of the heavens and the resentment of the people for your own selfish interests in the process of expansion, all the citizens of Dragon City will have to bear the consequences with you for nothing.
“You have taken all the advantages, but you want everyone to wipe your behinds for you. What kind of logic is that?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
