Chapter 853: Chapter 853 This Time We Need More

“According to the investigation, that guy took benefits from the other side, got coaxed by them, and then thought about running over there to enjoy life. It seems he even believes he can become a top-tier powerhouse without relying on anyone else’s help.”

This self-assured attitude reminded Zhao Guang of Long Aotian from before.

Unexpectedly, there are still people like this nowadays, especially when this guy seems to have no real leverage.

But since there’s such a person who dares to collude with outsiders, their entire family will probably get implicated. This time, even if it’s not just to vent his anger, that guy is bound to have bad luck.

“But there’s one problem, how did that guy manage to escape?”

Zhao Guang couldn’t believe that, when higher-ups took action against people, they wouldn’t give them a chance. Not to mention, that guy himself is a significant figure in the He Family; it’s impossible for the higher-ups to let that guy escape.

“Wasn’t it the He Family who secretly provided him with cultivation methods at the Meridian Level? That guy is indeed a genius, so he was able to reach the Meridian Level just by relying on Basic Cultivation Method, and then he ran away.”

There’s no way around it; even if he had just entered the Meridian Level, he wouldn’t be afraid of ordinary bullets.

At least until his True Qi is exhausted, general pistol bullets really aren’t effective.

“What happened then? It can’t be that he actually ran away, can it?” Zhao Guang couldn’t believe the higher-ups were that incompetent. Don’t mention the Meridian Level; even for those at the Divinity Level, it’s tough for the country to handle them, but they wouldn’t easily escape.

“That’s not the case; he was pursued all the way until the military caught up and shot him to death.”

Ye Zhi described the scenario, and Zhao Guang understood. Don’t think modern armies are that weak; Zhao Guang can handle them because he has various methods, a strong basic foundation, and the Spirit Secret Technique.

It’s not that modern armies are indeed weak; in terms of firepower, modern armies are very strong.

Can pistol bullets be blocked? Then how about machine gun bullets, whose firing rate is quick? Can he block one and then block many? Even if he senses danger, once the whole squad is deployed, how can he resist without any cover?

That’s right, that young man indeed lacked experience and foolishly ran into an open area.

Now the enemy couldn’t hide, but he himself also lost his biggest protection.

Without any cover, his speed was fast, but facing the squad, which shot indiscriminately around without aiming specifically, they clearly knew the situation of the enemy.

The result was that the young man couldn’t advance under the barrage of bullets and was then focused on.

Merely a few seconds later, when the shooting stopped, that young man had already been riddled like a sieve. If those people hadn’t shot well and controlled the situation, perhaps even the head would be unrecognizable.

Zhao Guang nodded: “In that case, this matter is considered over.”

After all, the higher-ups had already taken down a major local family, which can be seen as giving him a stance.

That’s exactly the attitude Zhao Guang wanted; pushing too much would cause rifts. Once rifts occur, more troubles would follow, further dragging on his energy.

With such results, it would be counterproductive; why do such things?

Adhering to a bottom line and letting both sides negotiate isn’t better?

Seeing Zhao Guang finally relent, Ye Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, finally completing her grandfather’s assigned task. No, this was probably not her grandfather’s task, but a collective assignment from the higher-ups.

The two’s relationship never made progress, so facing Zhao Guang’s growing influence, Ye Zhi felt very uneasy.

Indeed, it was a kind of influence; Zhao Guang himself might not sense it, but how could those around him not feel it at all?

Thinking for a moment, Ye Zhi spoke again: “This time, there’s another matter that might trouble you.”

“What else?” Zhao Guang was a bit annoyed; the previous period was about suspending his research due to war, why are there still so many matters now? If this continues, he’ll have to resort to disappearing.

“Nothing troublesome.” Sensing Zhao Guang’s impatience, Ye Zhi quickly explained.

This guy is becoming harder to deal with; it seems a strategy change is necessary.

“What matter is it?” Zhao Guang sighed, questioning whether exposing these things initially was a mistake.

But no, if these things weren’t exposed, merely the material resources would leave him overwhelmed often. Wanting such smooth development and quick growth wouldn’t be possible.

Indeed, there must be losses to gain; wanting some things naturally requires giving up others.

“It’s about gold, how much gold do you still have? The higher-ups need a lot recently.”

Before Zhao Guang could ask, Ye Zhi proactively explained: “Recently, abroad is chaotic, and the country needs a large amount of gold to stabilize the market, along with some strategic deployments. The opposing side is getting increasingly excessive.”

So that’s the matter, Zhao Guang relaxed, he thought it was some troublesome issue.

“How much is needed?” During this period, Zhao Guang used aluminum currency to purchase a large amount of gold, far exceeding storage.

Unfortunately, except for a few Gold-Titanium alloys, gold has no place to be used and ends up stockpiled.

“How much do you have?” Ye Zhi directly asked.

“As much as needed.” Zhao Guang rolled his eyes, thinking how underestimated he was. At this stage, some things don’t need to be concealed; some people might have guessed already.

Ye Zhi couldn’t fathom what she understood suddenly before speaking: “Tell me the specific quantity; this time we need quite a lot.”

Zhao Guang thought for a moment, estimating the gold in his warehouse roughly. “Around more than five thousand tons.” Zhao Guang gestured a number.

“How much?” Ye Zhi widened her eyes in surprise, questioning if she heard correctly.

“I said more than five thousand tons.” Zhao Guang talked less; the specific number should be higher.

No way around it; in the Otherworld, all kinds of products are too abundant. Gold itself doesn’t have a significant use there, merely serves as regular currency due to its massive quantity.

“With this much, I need to ask.” This quantity was too large.

Currently, national gold reserves don’t exceed half that; if all is needed, national reserves would become the world’s largest. This isn’t just strategic; it’s practically using gold to crush people.

Who would’ve thought Zhao Guang had such confidence in this?
