Resurrection Empire-Chapter 992 - 382: Your Destination Is Not Here

Under the gaze of countless eyes, either directly or indirectly, Ren Zhong soared through the air and landed beside Hu Yang.

Hu Yang raised her head slightly, staring at Ren Zhong in a daze.

The two had communicated multiple times, and were quite acquainted with each other.

Hu Yang was well aware that her ability to stand out in this game and persist until now was closely tied to Ren Zhong's careful cultivation and earnest guidance.

Her level of trust in Ren Zhong had already reached its peak, even rising from trust to dependence.

Thus, Hu Yang suddenly felt her eyes redden, and she choked up and said, "Ren... Mr. Ren."

Ren Zhong stepped forward, grabbed the bomb from her hand, casually tossed it aside, raised his hand to pat her shoulder, and then looked around slowly, saying, "Remember this always, everyone's life is worthy of respect, including yours. You should not casually give up until you are utterly forced to and there are no options left."

"Hu Yang told you earlier, there are still more than ten minutes. Why don't you calm down and wait a little longer? Only passion without brains won't accomplish anything. You've been completely driven by emotions, so much so that you haven't realized that your end shouldn't be here."

"I am Ren Zhong, and I stick to my words. From now on, you're no longer vagabonds or slaves, but employees of my Ren Group. You are all my valuable assets, and until I die, no one has the right to easily take your life, including yourselves."

...

From this point, this unique game of human nature came to an end.

Two minutes later, a transport shuttle descended from the sky and landed in the center of the field.

Watching Hu Yang and others enter one after another, the transport shuttle slowly rose again, heading towards Yangsheng City, leaving Ren Zhong with a slight sense of nostalgia.

He had always been against privilege, yet now realized that the most useful thing was indeed privilege.

Power does indeed fascinate people.

Afterward, Ren Zhong stepped back onto the Flying Device and returned to his booth, heading straight for Tang Xiangyun's booth with Zhou Ya.

This loser did not make a run for it.

It's not because he was courageous but because he knew as long as Ren Zhong held that betting contract, running was useless.

Now, he planned to negotiate a settlement, trying to save his cash cow at an acceptable cost.

Tang Xiangyun: "Ren Zhong, I admit defeat."

"Then don't waste words, just sign."

Tang Xiangyun: "You aren't short on money, so why not show some mercy and spare me?"

"When you were flaunting yourself in front of me, did you forget those words? Did you just learn this phrase from the dictionary?"

Tang Xiangyun: "Your collaboration with Tanggu Group has always been good, there's no need to hurt feelings over a mere town."

"Well said, so stop dawdling and sign quickly."

Tang Xiangyun: "You..."

"You're merely the heir of the second shareholder of Tanggu Group; you don't represent Tanggu Group. Don't think too highly of yourself. Source Star can operate without anyone. Okay, since you're uncooperative, I'll naturally go to the Association for arbitration."

...

In the end, no matter how unwilling Tang Xiangyun was, he realized the situation was inevitable and obediently signed his name on the contract.

Ren Zhong successfully obtained the control rights to the town.

Watching Tang Xiangyun leave, Zhou Ya, wearing a mask, frowned and said, "From what I know of him, he won't let this go easily. He'll definitely find someone to cause trouble for you in your upcoming student life."

Ren Zhong shrugged, "No problem, I'm not afraid of trouble."

Zhou Ya: "You've postponed your enrollment until tomorrow; are you planning to continue playing here today or go somewhere else?"

Ren Zhong looked down at his watch, "I've grown tired of playing. Take me to the training ground, I need to stretch my muscles. Then please arrange a VIP suite for me at the first Alson Hotel; I have some people to receive."

Zhou Ya: "Ah? What kind of people?"

Ren Zhong counted on his fingers, "People who can represent Source Star Military Industry, someone who truly represents Tanggu Group, Ma Xiaocheng, the minister who can represent Deep Communication Group, and someone who can represent Purple Crystal Mining."

Zhou Ya was taken aback, "Um..."

After a moment, she asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Aren't you overestimating yourself? Why would these companies want to talk with you? About what?"

Ren Zhong turned his head and looked at her mask, "You'll find out when the time comes, Ms. Gao Ya."

Zhou Ya, also known as Gao Ya, asked in an extremely surprised tone, "How do you know?"

Ren Zhong: "If I said I was merely probing, and you only admitted it yourself, what would you think?"

Gao Ya: "You..."

Ren Zhong laughed and said, "I'm not joking with you. I've dealt with many people from the Gao family, including Gao Sheng, Gao Zhengwen, and Gao Tianhua. The Gao family's eye color is slightly brownish-yellow, approximately a family tradition, which is a strong hereditary trait and a common feature of the direct members of the family. You have it too. Moreover, your accent is somewhat similar to Mr. Gao Sheng. Although it's a slight trait, it objectively exists. This indicates that you and Mr. Gao Sheng grew up in the same environment. Coupled with you needing to wear a mask before entering this amusement park, I suspect your status is not low. You've also repeatedly evaluated Tang Xiangyun, indicating you understand the privileged class well. You've told me your family elders taught you to beware of the Mengdu Group. Your ability to disguise and lurk is so poor that if I couldn't guess your last name is Gao and that you're from Purple Crystal Mining, I'd be quite foolish. I'm just curious, with your status, why would you lower your identity to be my assistant? What's your real purpose? Could you tell me?"

Suddenly having her true identity revealed by Ren Zhong, Gao Ya was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and hastily said, "Why should I tell you, can't I just be curious?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "Of course not, that reason isn't sufficient. I speculate that Purple Crystal Mining believes I'm too close and tightly bound with Deep Communication Group, they don't want to lose me, yet can't openly poach people from Deep Communication Group and Source Star Military Industry, so they had to send you, this young lady born with a Golden Key."

Gao Ya: "You..."

"Don't worry, I don't mind cooperating with Purple Crystal Mining. I'm revealing this only to have you put down the burden and stop acting; your acting is too strenuous, I'm tired for you."

"Alright, let's leave it at that," Gao Ya said, looking dejected.

Watching her in such a dispirited manner, Ren Zhong recalled their interactions from yesterday till today, yet couldn't help but admit that Gao Ya's appearance slightly changed his aversion to High Rank Citizens.

Subsequently, Ren Zhong briefly communicated with Ying Hao, who upon hearing Ren Zhong's intention to discuss deeper collaboration, expressed his intent to send Xiao Xingyue to Lower Origin Capital City.

Over the phone, Ying Hao also subtly reminded Ren Zhong, suggesting he restrain himself a bit.

Ying Hao said, "Your turning stone into gold tactic in the human nature amusement park will surely provoke fear."

Ren Zhong replied honestly, "Thanks for the reminder."

Actually, Ren Zhong knew at this time that Ying Hao himself was somewhat nervous, as this Promotion Association minister's ambitions were not much smaller than Hugh Augustus's.

But another person would definitely take action.

An hour later, while Ren Zhong was engaged in a bare-chested fight against a faceless person in the VIP section of the Professionals training ground in Lower Origin Capital City, an unexpected change occurred.

Hugh Augustus took action for real.
