Chapter 468: Chapter 180: The Ceiling of Cunning Close to Demoniac_2
At that time, he was already a First Level Citizen, and with Ma Dafu helping to cover him in the town’s government system of Starfire Town, the risk weight was reduced.
Otherwise, even if it didn’t attract the Hunter, summoning a Telekinesis Master would have been reasonable.
Of course, perhaps on a level that neither Ren Zhong nor Ma Dafu were aware of, his threat index and rebellion index should have already skyrocketed.
A hidden mine was brewing, but before it could explode, he went to the Descending Demon Baby all on his own.
As long as I deliver the tower quickly enough, you won’t get my head.
This time, the situation has changed. Ren Zhong plans to live longer and must meet the Cold-blooded Butcher.
No matter if he can pass the Butcher’s challenge or not, if he still says the wrong things, this hidden mine will still exist and will definitely become a hidden danger.
He is about to leave Starfire Town and will inevitably have to deal with higher-level figures and administrative units.
If he does not completely change his style of working, he will inevitably continually expose more and more information under the watchful eyes of the "network", and the hidden mine will eventually be triggered.
In the past, Ren Zhong didn’t know these things and made many mistakes.
But he excels at summarizing experiences and lessons, and now he has adjusted his rhetoric.
He smiled faintly, "Old Ma, rest assured. I have... cough, cough, I have good ways. Just tell me, have any of the things I planned since I came to the town failed?"
Ma Dafu was taken aback.
Ren Zhong smiled again, "Let’s start with Lin Wang. From the video footage, it seems that I was betrayed by Lin Wang first and then forced to retaliate, right?"
"Isn’t it? You weren’t Third Level at the time, my daughter told me clearly. You couldn’t have been planning to sabotage Lin Wang at the time?"
Ren Zhong blinked, "Didn’t I have you intentionally incite people to block the door of Starfire Resources then? I didn’t explain the reason to you."
Ma Dafu was taken aback, thought for a long time, and said incredulously, "You knew in advance there were Legion Beasts in that valley? Then you had me make arrangements, and it was Yang Bingzhong’s urging that led Lin Wang into the valley to take a shortcut? The whole seemingly coincidental thing was in your calculation?"
Ren Zhong nodded, "Hmm. Including the Legion Beasts, Pan Fenglian and Song Qianlian being betrayed by Lin Wang first, Si Mawan acting on me, Lin Wang and Bei Lihui betraying me... these happened under my guidance. I had it planned before we set off to Chenhui Mine."
"But why did you want to kill Lin Wang? Lin Wang was treating you well at the time, right?"
Ren Zhong: "His conduct was too ugly. For his selfish gain, he devoured too much of the flesh and blood of the Scavengers in Starfire Town. I found him disagreeable and wanted to kill him for relief. I decided on this from the first day I arrived in Starfire Town."
"So you took a risk..."
"How can it be called a risk? See, I’m completely unscathed." Ren Zhong shrugged, "After speaking about Lin Wang, let’s talk about Yang Bingzhong. Old Ma, you know I’m good at stocks. The stock market is about human nature. I gradually led him step by step into the Abyss of despair."
"So when you had my daughter cooperate with you in staging that drama of a love triangle, attaining citizen status was merely the first step and there’s more after?"
"Indeed. What you knew before was just the superficial, childish operations."
"Then why did you want to kill... because of the Alien Ore. Hmm, I understand. When it comes to strategy and wisdom, I’m not fit even to carry your shoes. No wonder I lost more and more miserably fighting against Yang Bingzhong for sixteen years. You brought him to ruin in just half a month. Alas, the gap is too large."
Ma Dafu sighed deeply, filled with mixed emotions.
Ren Zhong looked at him with a smile, silent and taciturn.
In truth, he really wanted to tell Old Ma that the Legion Beast incident wasn’t just in my calculation, I calculated it twice and guided two perfect outcomes from different periods.
My true masterpiece was the battle in the abandoned mine pit with Lin Wang in the previous timeline.
Looking back now, Ren Zhong felt that he was truly possessed by a Heavenly God at that time, like a deity.
If he were to replay it once more, he wouldn’t be confident he could do it so perfectly.
Neither the later temporary decision to sabotage Lin Wang nor burying Yang Bingzhong in the stock market was as intellectually demanding as the abandoned mine pit battle, though they looked more spectacular on the surface and achieved higher objectives.
It’s a pity that such a miracle has been buried in the dust of the previous timeline and can’t be used as a bragging point.
"Alright, I understand. I just want to confirm one thing. Ren Zhong, do you truly want to see the scavengers of Starfire Town survive, right?"
