Chapter 165: World Peace

A missile!

A tactical missile filled with high-energy explosives!

It burst into a nearly pure white light when it hit the hotel wall.

The concrete shattered, the steel melted, and the wall collapsed.

For those in the hotel, that was truly an earth-shattering event!

The overly precise guidance made the front end of the warhead almost point straight at Wang Wen’s private room.

Fluttering explosions and debris filled the sky. Shock waves swept through the entire hotel like the grim reaper with a large sickle.

The on-duty hotel manager, the waiter, was fleeing with his head in his hands.

Chen Hansheng, Zhu Xingguo, and Ren Ruoruo knelt on the ground.

Zhang Wei, Zhang Lanlan.

Captain He, who peed in his pants, and his two underlings.

Mo Ran, Luo Shan, Tong Xiaolei.

And the guests in the neighboring rooms who were still enjoying their food.

All of them could have been burned to ashes before they could even scream.

If it were not for that semi-circular transparent barrier…

A nearly a few hundred meters in diameter transparent barrier stood in front of the remaining half of the box.

It was like a fortified city wall in ancient times, making people feel extremely safe from all incoming damage.

Everyone did their best to bear the pain as they stared at the figure in the center of the blinding white light with wide eyes.

That person stood proudly, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his straight legs like tree roots embedded in the ground, and he did not move at all, no matter how the destructive shockwave crashed. He opened a massive transparent umbrella-shaped barrier with one hand to block the deadly debris and terrifying heat from an entire tactical missile explosion.

Under the light of the fire, which illuminated the entire field of vision, a small figure descended like a god.

Just as it happened, the stars around him washed away the drifting fire particles and dust like flowing water, just like a god walking out of the gates of heaven, surrounded by dancing holy light that fell on the earth.

It gave the human figure a more colorful and dreamy appearance.

The on-duty hotel manager and the waiter were leaning against the door frame.

Chen Hansheng, Zhu Xingguo, and Ren Ruoruo rose gradually.

Zhang Wei and Zhang Lanlan had tears in their eyes.

Captain He and his two subordinates held onto their pants.

Mo Ran, Luo Shan, and Tong Xiaolei looked at the situation with moistened eyes.

All the guests who had survived the disaster forgot to swallow the delicious food in their mouths.

All the witnesses were stunned by that scene, which seemed like a miracle.

Their eyes were filled with tears and bitterness as they watched the scene.

The explosion had a widespread effect.

Debris fell to the ground.

The extreme heat gradually dissipated.

The figure holding the transparent barrier lowered his head to inspect his bloodied chest. Then he shifted his gaze to his right palm, which was held tightly by a pair of fair and tender hands until it was almost white. “I did not expect you to be so strong,” he said weakly.

The woman, dressed like a little flower, had turned completely white.

When she heard the teasing words, she raised her head and replied with a hoarse voice, “I didn’t expect you to suck so hard.”

The two laughed and supported each other as they fell to the ground. The original estrangement and vigilance disappeared at that moment.

The transparent barrier turned into starlight and disappeared.

Even though most of it was blocked, the remaining terrifying heat wave immediately surged into the hotel like fire.

However, the high temperature of that degree could not stop Mo Ran and the others.

Everyone, including Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo, rushed over at the first moment to carry Wang Wen and Mi Lailai away from the explosion site and escape into the depths of the hotel.

On the way, Chen Hansheng asked Mo Ran with a puzzled look, “If I remember correctly, this hotel is your group’s property, right? Who’s so bold to use heavy weapons to attack the First Consortium? Is the Tiansheng Group crazy enough to start a war?”

Mo Ran’s face was as cold as ice. After hesitating, he looked at Wang Wen, whose face was as weak as a piece of paper. His breathing seemed laborious. He said coldly, “No one dares to bombard the First Consortium with missiles, not even the Tiansheng Group. The Season Hotel is the company’s business. There’s only one possibility for them to launch missiles at this place.”

In the First Consortium’s Director’s office.

Gu Jianbing abruptly lost his usual calm and slammed the table in rage.

His gaze swept across the faces of the people surrounding him. “Are you out of your mind?” he exclaimed to the man behind the desk. “Wang Wen was the victim! It was one thing for us not to help him but to attack him? Did you damage your brain? Or did someone feed you sh*t?”

“Impudent!” A monkey with a sharp mouth next to him immediately shouted angrily, “Watch your words! You don’t have any shares in the company anymore. You’re only here because you’ve worked hard in the intelligence department for many years. You don’t have the right to judge anyone. Do you understand? ”

Gu Jianbing turned to look at the person who spoke and said, “F*ck off!”

When the monkey-faced man heard that, he was so angry that his face turned green, and his body trembled. He did not want to let the person behind the desk stand up for him.

Unexpectedly, the First Consortium’s Director, Zhou Dafu, sat quietly behind the desk. He looked at the old man calmly and did not say a word.

The old man grabbed the monkey-faced man and spat at him. “When I was fighting for the group, you were still eating sh*t in a diaper! Even if the old chairman were standing here, I would still scold him. Who do you think you are to open your mouth and spew sh*t in front of me? Go to hell!”

The old man beat up the pointy-mouthed monkey.

He wanted to fight back.

When he saw the director, Zhou Dafu, he frowned.

He immediately endured it.

His face was bruised, and he screamed as he was chased out of the office.

The old man was tired.

He panted as he walked back to his desk and sat down.

Zhou Dafu held the cup of water on the table and handed it to the old man. He said gently, “Uncle Gu, enough with the scolding and beating. Calm down. Your health is more important. The group needs you; we all need you.”

Gu Jianbing pushed the cup away impatiently. “Don’t give me that sh*t! Why did you launch the missile? When did you align with the Tiansheng Group?”

Zhou Dawei sighed. “Don’t you know? The Tiansheng Group’s boss was lost in the World Tower just yesterday. No one knew if he were alive. The only one left was the Tiansheng Group’s young master, Qin Wuzheng. He announced that if the murderer were not killed, he would trigger the highest authority in the Tiansheng Group, unilaterally demolish the world wall, and let the people from the west in. When that happens, the world will be in chaos, and people will be plunged into misery! We did all that for the sake of peace.”

“Peace, my *ss!” Gu Jianbing blew his beard and glared at him. He slapped the table repeatedly. “If the Tiansheng Group wants to tear down the world wall, you can f*cking beat up the Tiansheng Group! How can you attack an ordinary person?”

Zhou Dahu noticed that Gu Jianbing did not hold back his arrogance and became even more arrogant. There was a hint of displeasure on his face.

However, he still patiently said, “Uncle Gu, you’ve been a veteran all your life. Don’t you understand that little bit of logic? We’re just expressing our stance. We don’t want to start a war. Whether against the Tiansheng Group or Wang Wen, as long as the world is peaceful and our group can profit, that’s enough! In comparison, the price to beat Wang Wen is much lower. You’re a senior member. You want to see the group improve, right?”

The old man shook his head.

He seemed to be a little tired.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He struggled to catch his breath and said, “You’re wrong. Doing that means you’re pushing the group into the fire pit!”

Zhou Daqian asked, “Why? I’m doing that for the greater good! That decision was the best plan we had. We were willing to destroy our own company to work with the Tiansheng Group. The entire world would see that, and we would undoubtedly be able to recover ten or a hundred times our investment from the Tiansheng Group. Nobody dared to question it because it was reasonable. We would certainly profit greatly from that transaction! How could it be wrong? ”

When the old man opened his eyes, they were red. “So you really don’t get it. Before you make that decision, at least inform my people who were still there. You’re incomparable to your father.”

Zhou Dafu smiled.

He leaned on the chair and took a long breath. He said, “Then I am deeply saddened. I would like to trouble you to report the names of the people who died in the line of duty. That will serve as a bargaining chip for us to demand more compensation from the Tiansheng Group. We will give them the highest compensation.”
