His clear eyes confused Meng Chao for a moment.

He began to wonder whether the memories from his previous life were wrong. No matter how he looked at it, Zhao Feixuan did not look like the lost person who was said to have fallen down the dark path and become a total lunatic.

But as he thought about it carefully, even his adorable little sister, Bai Jiacao, had ended up as the Dark Witch.

And before Lin Chuan revealed his true colors, his image as the Weeping Reaper was very deceiving.

As his mind raced, Meng Chao stepped forward and treated Zhao Feixuan's wounds.

The superhumans had spirit energy protecting their bodies, so their immune system and cell regeneration were very strong. They were not worried about normal poison and superficial wounds.

As a harvester, Meng Chao always brought with him a lot of tools, and they could also be used to treat wounds.

He had Xiao Fanghua support Zhao Feixuan. Since his scalpels were as thin as a cicada's wing, they could be bent however he wanted. The scalpels were the color of mica, and Meng Chao brandished them with familiarity. Soon, the rotten flesh tainted by the zombie's poison was completely dug out.

When Meng Chao saw that Zhao Feixuan had a lot of spirit energy and vitality, and his wound was already showing signs of closing, he knew that there was no need for him to suture the wound. He just used a large amount of medicinal powder and dressing to stop the blood flow.

After Meng Chao's smooth actions, some color returned to Zhao Feixuan's face.

A notification popped up at the corner of Meng Chao's eyes.

[You helped treat elite citizen Zhao Feixuan. Increased contribution points by 12.]

'Elite citizen, huh?' Meng Chao thought about it. 'My sister was a special citizen right from the start because she has the Night Demon Blood in her body, so she may be corrupted at any moment. But Lin Chuan was a pseudo-heroic citizen at the start. That's because I never saw his true colors, and I didn't have enough information, which led to me making a wrong judgment.

'But now, based on the information I have, Kindling could tell me that Zhao Feixuan is a special citizen. Even so, Kindling still categorized him as an elite citizen.

'Does this mean that Zhao Feixuan isn't like Bai Jiacao, who was born with Night Demon Blood, and the matter that has caused him to turn into a lost person hasn't happened yet, so there's still hope to save him?'

Xiao Fanghua stared at Meng Chao treating her husband.

When Meng Chao placed the last piece of dressing, her husband's face gradually turned a healthy shade of red. Once there were no signs of the zombie virus further invading his system, she sighed in relief.

She glared at Zhao Feixuan with her eyes speaking volumes.

But they were in public, so it would not be good for her to fly into a rage. She could only say, “Thank you, Meng Chao. I didn't introduce him to you just now. He is—”

“Zhao Feixuan,” Zhao Feixuan said brightly and extended his hand with a smile. “Club Leader Meng, you're the brightest star among the golden era. You first shone brilliantly at the northern battlefield. Then, you built the Broken Star Club and united most of the broken-star superhumans in the city. The things you did over the past half a year are more exciting than what others have done over the past five years. There's no need for anyone to introduce such a young and talented person like you.”

“I was just lucky,” Meng Chao said quickly. “Just now, I told Ms. Xiao that the Broken Star Club was made with all the broken-star superhumans in the city. Many people are more qualified to be the club leader compared to me. I just benefited because of the Ultimate Style.

“But I often hear about you and Standard Firepower on the news and the internet. Under your guidance, Standard Firepower has become one of the largest contractors for the defense systems in Dragon City, right? This is what I call having a real business achievement!”

“Well, that's…” Zhao Feixuan scratched his head and cast a glance at his wife. He looked a little embarra.s.sed as he smiled and said, “Leader Meng, what you said is something of the past. I've just handed my resignation letter to the board of directors of Standard Firepower. Right now, I'm alone, so I can't be said to have a business anymore.”

Meng Chao was slightly stunned.

Based on the information from the abnormal beast research department, Zhao Feixuan was the vice president of Standard Firepower and in charge of most of the core contracts. There should be no one who could challenge his position.

And as the monsters began to show signs of having clear targets during their invasions and become more cunning as well as brutal, the market for community defenses should be very wide. There should not be a problem in terms of operations.

Did he find a better and larger platform if he resigned at this moment? Was it related to the abnormal beasts?

Xiao Fanghua seemed to have known about her husband's decision long ago, so she said, “Old Zhao, have you finally made your decision?”

Zhao Feixuan nodded and said a little shyly, “Dear, you won't blame me for being too rash, right?”

“No way. No matter what decision you make, I will fully support you.” Xiao Fanghua caressed her belly with a gentle expression. “Besides, I hope that our child can live in a better world too.”

Meng Chao was absolutely baffled when he heard this.

Zhao Feixuan could tell that he was confused, so he explained it readily. “I have no conflicts with Standard Firepower. It's just that our ideals don't match.”

“Ideals?”

“That's right. Standard Firepower is a contractor that designs defense systems for middle-range and high-end residential areas. Of course, in the current Dragon City, only the people living in middle-range and high-end residential areas have the money to hire contractors to design their defense system and pay extra to upgrade them,” Zhao Feixuan explained.

“But the residents in those places are already above average powerful fighters. They can use their own strength to suppress monsters that invade their areas. There's no need for them to take the extra step and make their residential areas as tough as nails!

“Instead, the old residential areas of normal people are places where the residents only have limited power, and they rely a lot on their defense systems. But these people who need the defense systems can't fork out the money to upgrade them. That's why they suffered such devastating losses during the fog descent this time.”

Meng Chao cast Xiao Fanghua a glance.

The couple saw eye to eye. They were thinking about the same problem.

Zhao Feixuan continued, “In the past, when I was the vice president of Standard Firepower, I contacted my colleagues many times to appeal to the government so that they could modify the defense systems of all residential areas. However, the fees to modify them were naturally astronomical.

“The Survival Committee doesn't have the money for it. The money is all in the hands of the nine great mega corporations behind the Survival Committee. But mega corporations don't have the duty to help the normal citizens for nothing, right?

“My words hold no weight, and I can't do much. But after the fog this time, I saw that a lot of the residential areas of normal people were destroyed by monsters, while the work that I've poured all of my blood, sweat, and tears into is placed outside the luxurious mansions of superhumans. I set up defense systems that they aren't using at all, and I feel like… I've done something completely meaningless.

“I was conflicted for a long time, and I thought about it again and again. I hesitated constantly. I originally thought that I should endure it for the sake of our unborn child. After all, the treatment given by Standard Firepower is pretty great.

“But after becoming a volunteer in the temporary shelters a few times and seeing so many normal citizens without their homes, I just can't stand it anymore. So I handed my resignation letter along with a group of my colleagues. Hahahaha! Now that I think about it, I feel like I've been a little too rash.”

His words caused Meng Chao to respect Zhao Feixuan.

But he was well aware that he had once respected Lin Chuan and Gao Ye too.

“Big Brother Zhao, what do you intend to do next?” Meng Chao asked in an attempt to get some answers.

“I intend to set up a new community defense company with my colleagues, and we'll be targeting the low-end market. We'll be specifically providing services to the old residential areas of normal citizens.”

Zhao Feixuan smiled. “Those who are rich have ways to protect themselves, and those who are poor need their own ways to protect themselves as well. We can't just let normal citizens fight with their fists and sabers against the monsters' claws and fangs just because they don't have money, right?

“Leader Meng, once we really set up our business, we might end up forming connections with the Broken Star Club. After all, most of the broken-star superhumans are from poor families and were born in normal residential areas with defense systems that have been poorly maintained.

“Many of the broken-star superhumans are still in normal residential areas. They're the leaders of their communities, and they'll be the ones who will be acting as the go-between for our business. At that time, we'll have to trouble you.”

“Don't mention it,” Meng Chao said with a smile. “I won't hide it from you. I'm staying in Blessed Heavenly Garden. If your new company opens up for business, I'll have to trouble you to take a look at our broken defense system.”

“Is that so?” Zhao Feixuan's eyes lit up. “Leader Meng, why are you still—”

“Staying in Blessed Heavenly Garden?” Meng Chao shrugged. “Can't help it. Houses are too expensive now.”

Zhao Feixuan was a little stunned, then he howled in laughter.

But even as he laughed, he knew very well that over the past few months, even though the prices for middle-range and high-end houses had increased like crazy, it made no difference. With Meng Chao's strength, they were not high enough that he could not buy a new house.

Even if he imagined the worst possible scenario and thought that Meng Chao was short of money because of the Broken Star Club, he would still have no problem renting a house in a middle-range or high-end residential area.

There was only one reason for him to continue staying in Blessed Heavenly Garden, and it was to protect the people there.

When Zhao Feixuan looked at Meng Chao, his gaze became different.

“Speaking of which, I should have thanked you a long time ago,” Zhao Feixuan said. “Ms. Xiao's greatest regret is that she injured her spirit meridians when she awakened to superpowers. She couldn't increase her cultivation realm and understand all the secrets in the world of spirit energy so that she could teach the children.

“I was originally a machine master. Later, I studied runic symbols for a while with a hope to heal her injured spirit meridians with them. Unfortunately, I didn't learn the craft well, so I couldn't think of a perfect way to solve the problem.

“Then, the Ultimate Style took the world by a storm. Leader Meng, you didn't decide to keep this style to yourself, either. Under your careful guidance, Ms. Xiao was no longer stuck as a broken-star superhuman. She could figure out some of the secrets of spirit energy.

“I'm in a club called Blue Home, and many of our members are broken-star superhumans. Recently, they have been going to the Broken Star Club, where they received good treatment and could cultivate well. Their cultivation realm and fighting power have been increasing, and I'm really happy for them!”

Blue Home had been set up many years ago.

The members were high-end superhumans who advocated the ideals from the Home Party, the middle-range or low-end superhumans who were not part of the nine great mega corporations or cultivation families, and normal people.

Naturally, there were a lot of broken-star superhumans among them as well.

But the Broken Star Club was a new organization that rose to power by cruising on the Ultimate Style.

If the members from both organizations had a lot of contact with each other, it was all because of the Broken Star Club recruiting members who were already in Blue Home.

'But…'

Meng Chao observed Zhao Feixuan discreetly. The man appeared to be really grateful and like he was holding no grudges. His generous heart was easy to see, and he could be considered to be an upright, good man.
