Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 569 - Killing Your Own Friend for Justice

Chapter 569: Killing Your Own Friend for Justice

“Gang Leader Xiong, you sound too serious. I’m just an insignificant special correspondence member. I’m not an amba.s.sador and not a eunuch sent to observe the military. I won’t take your power and make people hate me.”

Lu Siya could naturally hear the underlying meaning in Xiong Wei’s words. She smiled and said, “Before we left, Vice Director Nie told me repeatedly that the situation in the lair is very complicated. You’re club elites who went to the frontlines and fought against the monsters and robbers. You’re the ones who understand the situation best.

“My job is just to help you pa.s.s information, provide support, and protect logistics. I wasn’t told to get involved in how you command and respond to the situation.

“Please don’t worry. It doesn’t matter to me whether you or Vice Gang Leader Su becomes the temporary highest commander. I’ll fully support your decision, and I believe that Poison Scorpion won’t have any opinions about that.”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun were both slightly stunned.

They did not expect that the legendary Queen Bee would be so easygoing.

She was even willing to help them handle Poison Scorpion.

Then, they realized that Lu Siya definitely had to have some conditions and wanted to use this relinquis.h.i.+ng of power to trade with them.

And this trade was most likely related to Meng Chao.

“But…” Lu Siya’s tone changed. “The lair is in a critical condition now, and we must hurry. How is the highest commander going to handle the threat presented by the abnormal beast and robbers, and from what angle are you going to do so?”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun both sank into contemplative silence.

Once they gathered all the fighting men in the lair, the resources, and information, the first thing they wanted to do was to kill Meng Chao.

But once they considered Lu Siya and Meng Chao’s special relations.h.i.+p, they did not know how they should mention this to her.

Lu Siya observed their expressions, and the smile on her face grew.

“Looks like you haven’t found a suitable way to handle the situation.” She placed her hands behind her back. “Then, I have a small immature suggestion. This is also the main reason behind why I entered the lair. Would you care to listen to me?”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun spoke simultaneously. “Please, go on, Ms. Lu.”

“I can represent Sky Pillar Corporation and convince Poison Scorpion to support all your plans as long as you help me do one thing.”

Lu Siya’s gaze suddenly turned fierce. Her expression became completely different from a moment ago; she was like a queen bee who had finally shown her true colors.

“Kill Meng Chao!” she hissed.

Boom!

The crystal engine deep in the sc.r.a.pped armored airs.h.i.+p behind the trio exploded.

Red fireb.a.l.l.s and black smoke came out from the mangled parts of the armored airs.h.i.+p.

Fortunately, most of the high-grade crystals and powerful ammunition, especially the special napalm bomb created with the adhesive liquid from fire-type monsters were all moved out, so even if the engine exploded, there were no chain explosions.

The reinforcements and the armed gang members in the area quickly went forward to put out the fire.

While they were shrouded by the smoke, Xiong Wei and Su Lun felt as if they had fallen into a maze.

“Ms. Lu, what… did you say?” Su Lun asked tentatively.

“You heard me clearly, kill Meng Chao.” After Lu Siya revealed her true colors of the Queen Bee, she became imposing and spoke coldly. “I thought that we should be on the same side when it comes to this, or are you telling me that you don’t want to kill Meng Chao and take revenge for your beloved son, Gang Leader Xiong?”

“What a joke!” Xiong Wei hissed before gritting his teeth. “I want to pull out Meng Chao’s tendons and cut him into pieces!”

Su Lun’s mind raced, and he said, “We have all sorts of concrete evidence and witness testimonies that point to one truth: Meng Chao betrayed Dragon City and became the despicable monsters’ puppet. His existence is a major threat to the lair and Dragon City.

“If we want to get rid of the crisis in the lair, it’d be for the best if we could kill Meng Chao, but aren’t you supposed to be close to him, Ms. Lu?”

“We were indeed good friends who entrusted our lives to each other and fought together multiple times. We saved one another more than once, and Dragon City itself was a witness to our friends.h.i.+p,” Lu Siya said. “It’s precisely because of this that I was angrier and sadder than anyone else when I learned of his betrayal.

“What he betrayed isn’t just Dragon City and humanity. He also betrayed my friends.h.i.+p and his past self!

“Now, many people call me a model superhuman. But of course, that is just for promotional purposes. I’ve never dared to consider myself a model.

“But since we’re superhumans, we have the responsibility and perseverance of superhumans. As the sabers of human civilization, we are supposed to be eternal enemies with monsters and monsters’ puppets. This is our baseline, no?

“So, regardless of what our relations.h.i.+p is, I need to kill this friend of mine for justice. Do you have a problem with that?”

Xiong Wei exchanged a glance with Su Lun.

Lu Siya’s words sounded like they belonged to a person who was willing to kill their own friend for justice. She was absolutely correct, and not a single flaw could be found in her speech.

However, no matter how they thought about it, it did not fit the image of the Queen Bee!

“What? You don’t believe me?” Lu Siya stared at the two people coldly.

Of course they did not believe her.

But they could not say that they did not believe her.

Lu Siya scowled and said angrily, “You should know that it’s impossible for me to leave the media’s spotlight in the frontlines for the ridiculous reason of ‘my friend betraying our friends.h.i.+p’, then come to a stupid place like the lair!

“The point is, that idiot betrayed our mutual interests!

“Meng Chao, that idiot, fool, b.a.s.t.a.r.d, shameless stupid brat! Who does he think he is?! WHAT does he think he is?!

“He’s just a poor n.o.body from the slums! Even if he has some talent for cultivation, there are plenty of poor brats who have talent among the millions of Dragon Citizens! Even if he showed his splendour during the practical test of the national college examination, if he didn’t have an astronomical amount of cultivation resources to support him, he would soon become obsolete!

“I was the one with good judgment! I brought him out of that dirty and stinky doghouse he called his home to carry out his first important mission!

“I was the one who saved him during the Red Radiance Jade tsunami and pushed him into the Blue Origin Crystal cave!

“I introduced him to the relevant people to become an off-site member of the abnormal beast research department! I gave him the chance to get in touch with higher-ranked missions and people!

“I was the one who asked father to give the Broken Star Club large amounts of support through Sky Pillar Minerals so that he could make the Broken Star Club famous!

“I was the one who went all over the place to pull strings and even served as a guarantor for him at the banks so that his Superstar could continue expanding! I also introduced to him loads of deals so that Superstar could become bigger and stronger!

“I was also the one who used her connections in news media outlets and social media platforms to tie him together with me so that we would be promoted as a pair and increase each other’s influence! That’s why he became the leading figure of the Golden Era while I became the model superhuman!

“Without me, what is he?! NOTHING!”

The more Lu Siya spoke, the angrier she became. Her voice and expression burned with fury, and her beautiful face turned monstrous and aggressive.

Even Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, who was a domineering man, frowned a little and discreetly took half a step back.

But he did not interrupt Lu Siya.

Xiong Wei was not a very patient or reasonable man, but Lu Siya was currently a very angry woman.

No matter how impatient and unreasonable a person was, they would usually not interrupt a woman who was in the middle of a fit of rage.

“I’ll admit that my motives weren’t pure and I wanted to use Meng Chao.” Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and squashed her anger a little, but her concentrated anger became even sharper, and she gritted her teeth. “Dragon Citizens are now sick of stories of rich people’s children killing monsters. They think that we’re too high above them and aren’t similar to them.

“Compared to blessed children like us who are born with silver spoons in our mouths, they prefer poor children like Meng Chao who came from the slums. They like stories of people who started with nothing, rose to the top, and overtook the rich families.

“Fine, no problem. If Dragon Citizens like folk heroes, then we’ll create a folk hero for them. I tied Meng Chao together with me so that we could promote each other, and it helped me win over a lot of normal citizens and women behind Meng Chao. This was the biggest reason behind why I teamed up with him.

“I acknowledge that this was a trade, but it was a fair trade. Meng Chao gained more benefits than I did, so why would he feel displeased and discontented?

“But that idiot! I don’t know what sort of monster p.o.o.p he has in his skull or whether he really thinks that he’s chosen by the G.o.ds after he became rich overnight, but his ambition is far beyond his abilities, and in the end, it resulted in him being lured over by just a few words from the abnormal beast.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! He deserves to be cut into pieces! I don’t care if he joined the monsters! I wouldn’t care even if he was eaten by the monsters! But what about me? What should I do?!

“All of Dragon City knows that he and I are the best partners! Ever since Raging Waves, our war achievements have been tied together! I must have been friggin’ blind to have asked for an advertorial saying that I learned many things on how to become a proper human being from him, especially how to contribute to Dragon City! I’ve practically gambled everything on this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

“But who knew that he would just wash his hands of me and betray Dragon City?! Now, he left his best partner behind, and I don’t know what I should do!

“He deserves to die for his deeds, but am I supposed to become the greatest joke of Sky Pillar Corporation, the Lu family, and Dragon City AND lose all my reputation because of him?!”

Xiong Wei and Su Lun were dumbfounded.

Once they thought about it carefully, though, they realized that Lu Siya’s anger was very reasonable.

Her words held a truth born from grief.

As they listened to Lu Siya, they began to pity her.

“Now you should understand how much I hate Meng Chao, right?” Lu Siya narrowed her eyes. Her anger was like a sharp blade that would cut Meng Chao to pieces the moment he showed up. “Gang Leader Xiong, you only lost your son because of Meng Chao, but I’m about to lose my entire fortune and be unable to ever make a comeback because of him!”

Xiong Wei scoffed, but it was a sign that he acknowledged Lu Siya’s motives.

“No, I won’t accept it! I can’t lose everything and turn into the greatest joke in Dragon City!” Lu Siya clenched her fists like she wanted to snap Meng Chao’s neck. “As long as I can kill Meng Chao, things might not be over for me.”
