Chapter 554: Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting (Ultimate Goal Part Two)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Toyoda Conglomerate! The target of the Bureau's Chief big plan was the Toyoda Conglomerate!

They had made such a big commotion this time. The entire Resource Chamber of Commerce would be in a mess, Hong Weiguo would get impeached, and even a.s.sa.s.sinated. The only possible ultimate target of the Bureau Chief was the business supergiant, Toyoda Conglomerate.

“We can finally set our minds at rest now. Hahaha!” Everyone laughed in unison. “We were afraid that something would go wrong. s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma must be planning to a.s.sa.s.sinate Hong Weiguo and direct Hong Dali's wrath towards the Heavenly State. He did not expect that he will fall into our trap this time. He's digging his own grave!”

“Yes.” The Bureau Chief was totally relaxed now. “According to our initial a.s.sumptions, when the Resource Chamber of Commerce impeaches Hong Weiguo, Qian Guangzhao will get all puffed up with pride. With his character, he will not let Hong Weiguo off easily. We will then disguise ourselves as Jaban a.s.sa.s.sins and make an attempt on Hong Weiguo's life. We can then direct all the hatred to the Toyoda Conglomerate.

“However, it's unknown if this plan will ultimately succeed. After all, Hong Weiguo is very clever. Once he sees through our plan, all our hard work would have been in vain. Not only that, they would be angry with us. That's why we must not make any mistakes. Hong Weiguo, especially, must not know.

“Things are different now. Hattori Jiro is personally coming to the Heavenly State. They will be digging their own graves, so it will have nothing to do with us. There are three things we need to do now. First, make every effort to ensure Hong Weiguo's safety. There must be absolutely no accidents. It's rumored that Hattori Jiro has special abilities due to mutant genes and is very powerful. Second, we must make sure that Hattori Jiro is able to come into contact with Hong Weiguo and be identified by Hong Weiguo. Third, you may do whatever you want to the big traitor Qian Guangzhao, it's not necessary to go easy on him. He was just the fuse for this plan and is no longer useful.”

Now that their patience had finally paid off, everyone in the room let out a long sigh of relief. They laughed and said, “Haha, this is great. We can finally relax.””Yes, when we first made the plain to provoke Hong Dali that prodigal, I was so worried. Things are finally okay now. Right.””s.h.i.+rois.h.i.+ Kazuma claims to be able to see all the possibilities. This time he has dug his own grave. Haha!”

When everyone was done laughing, someone asked, “Since Hattori Jiro has mutant powers, he must be very powerful. Who should we get to protect him? I don't trust ordinary soldiers. The super soldiers are currently powerless as Hong Dali is out of range. As for others…”

The super soldiers with maximum attributes were out of the range of Hong Dali's aura, and so their attributes had dropped back down to normal. The State knew about that naturally. If they were to use normal soldiers against Hattori Jiro, there would be numerous casualties. It was obviously not worth it.

Someone suggested. “Why don't we get Hong Weiguo to wear one of the Mechanical Holy Garments? That will be easy.”

Unexpectedly, the Bureau Chief smiled and said, “Don't worry. It was originally a perplexing problem, but now I have the perfect person for the job.”

“Who is it? Tell us?”

As he looked at the curious crowd, the Bureau Chief chuckled and said, “I have to keep the ident.i.ty of this person a secret for now. All you have to know now is that we just have to sit back and see how Hong Dali, the super prodigal, tortures the Toyoda Conglomerate. Hahahaha!”

The Toyoda Conglomerate was the main source of the friction that caused the war between the Heavenly State and Jaban State all those years ago.

Right from the beginning, the Toyoda Conglomerate had wild ambitions. That ambition had not changed one bit in the past hundred years.

In today's peaceful era, they were unable to wage war directly. However, they had been inciting enmity between Jaban and the Heavenly State. That battle all those years ago, the tussle over Sea Turtle Island now, the Toyoda Conglomerate was behind almost all of them. After all, at their level, capital and politics were directly linked.

Therefore, in Heavenly State, the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief definitely could not ignore such a right-wing organization. There was no need to talk more about the war that happened all those years ago. It was hard to eliminate hatred. Even today, it was impossible to turn a blind eye to groups like this which stirred up conflict.

In the past, it would be very, very hard to go up against a giant multinational group like this. It was, after all, not a local group and protected by international law treaties. It was next to impossible to fight against the Toyoda Conglomerate. But things were different now.

Now, the Heavenly State had Hong Dali.

Although the boy was unfeeling, the mysterious man and the Bureau Chief were certain that anyone who tried to hurt his family would be ruthlessly dealt with by him. Whatever he did would come with no warning. It would probably be impossible to even defend against it.

That was why he had made use of the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting to put such a major operation into action. There were a few small hiccups along the way, but they had finally managed to incite the Toyoda Conglomerate into taking action against Hong Weiguo. From here onwards, they just had to sit and enjoy some tea while they watched how the greatest prodigal since time memorial, Hong Dali, toyed with the Toyoda Conglomerate.

It was terrifying just thinking about it!

Tianhai City, in Li Jing Hotel where Lan Ruoxi was staying.

“Haha, Bureau Chief, why are you here?” Hong Weiguo invited the Bureau Chief into the room once he saw him. He smiled and said, “What brought you here? Have a seat.”

“Haha, Old Hong, I heard about your recent activities.” The Bureau Chief chuckled as he sat on the sofa. He did not stand on ceremony and poured himself a cup of tea. Taking a sip, he said, “Getting impeached by the Resource Chamber and restructuring all your a.s.sets. That move was completely unexpected. Then your Dali made a move and kicked Qian Guangzhao out before buying up all of the Qian Energy stock he could. Super!”

Hong Weiguo felt embarra.s.sed after hearing what the Bureau Chief had said. He replied, “Dali is clever. I never thought that we could make such a big move. Hehe.”

Hong Weiguo's face was full of pride when Hong Dali was mentioned.

Hong Dali was quite the squanderer, indeed. He was thoughtless and only thought of having fun all day. However, after looking at the details, a person would realize that he was actually quite reliable. If there was anyone or anything that needed his help, they just had to approach him and he would definitely rise to the occasion.

“Bureau Chief,” Hong Weiguo paused before continuing, “Is the army not going to interfere with the Resource Chamber of Commerce's matters?” The Bureau Chief spoke for the army. Was his visit today related to the matter at the Resource Chamber of Commerce?

“Hehe, if this were in the past, we would not have interfered.” In his trench coat, the Bureau Chief looked das.h.i.+ng. He chuckled and said, “This time it involves Dali, so I will definitely have to interfere—if you run out of money and Dali cannot squander anymore, we won't have it easy either.”

“That's true.” Hong Weiguo shook his head and smiled. “So, Bureau Chief, you are here today because…”

“It's partially because of the Qian Family.” The Bureau Chief looked Hong Weiguo directly in the eye and said seriously, “The Qian Family has fallen. You are buying up their shares, and we can coordinate with you to take them out completely.”

“No wonder, I was wondering why the news of the Qian family being encircled spread so fast. It was all over the internet.” Hong Weiguo laughed. “Since even you, Bureau Chief, have taken the initiative to help, things will be easier. From here, so long as I make sure the value of the Qian Family shares continues to drop, it will be easy to increase the transaction volume.”

“Take over the Qian Family.” The Bureau Chief chuckled and nodded. He said, “It's easy to buy their shares now, don't stand on ceremony.”

Now that the State was behind him, Hong Weiguo had nothing to be afraid of. He immediately agreed. “Okay! No problem.”

Since he had something to gain, he expected that there must be a condition he needed to fulfill. With the State supporting him, it would be very much easier to take over the Qian Family. Hong Weiguo asked, “What are the conditions?”

“After you have taken over the Qian Family, put it under Hong Dali's name. Ask him to dabble in energy.” The Bureau Chief smiled like a sly old fox. “Everything Dali dabbles in becomes hugely successful. Get him to dabble in something bigger, like energy, and see if he manages to come up with anything good.”

“This…” Hong Weiguo was immediately stunned. “Aren't you overestimating him?”

“The truth is in full view.” The Bureau Chief smiled. “You have more confidence in Dali than I do.”

“That's true.” Hong Weiguo sighed. “This child of mine, Dali. I never thought that he could get to this point. It's really jaw-dropping.”

“Weiguo.” The Bureau Chief's expression suddenly turned serious. “You must listen carefully to what I have to say now, and you must not let anyone else know about it. Other than the heavens and earth, you and me, and perhaps your wife, Lan Ruoxi, no one else must hear of it.”

In view of the Bureau Chief's serious demeanor, Hong Weiguo became serious as well. “Bureau Chief, please speak.”

“Our Big Boss,” The Bureau Chief point to the sky, his unspoken meaning clear. “Big Boss never said the future wars in this world will be fought because of energy. After all, there isn't much fossil fuel left in the world. It will last at most another hundred years. All the countries in the world are accelerating the research in energy source and our state is no different. Unfortunately, due to technical reasons, we have not had much success.

“Big Boss found an opportunity, a real opportunity, in the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting.

“It was Big Boss' idea to give the Qian Family to Dali. Big Boss hopes that Dali may be able to develop some new source of energy. No one knows exactly how it will be done or how it will turn out, but at least, there will be hope.

“So, Weiguo, this is no laughing matter. The status of the Hong Family has been raised because of Hong Dali. No one knows for sure how high you can climb. However, we hope that you will not forget your roots at all times. The Hong Family is part of the Heavenly State. You were the founding fathers of our country in the past, now, and will be in the future.”

At this point, the Bureau Chief stared Hong Weiguo dead in the eyes and said slowly, “To gain the respect of ten people, you just have to be like everyone else.

“To gain the respect of tens of millions, you have to be different from the rest.

“To have your name etched in history and remembered by all, you will need to… go up against the whole world!”
