In Tianjing City, at Shiroishi Kazuma’s secret den.

“What did you say? Hattori Jiro is dead?!” When he heard the news that his subordinate had reported, Shoroishi Kazuma stood up in shock. Hattori Jiro was actually dead. The news shocked him to the core.

Hattori Jiro. He was the strongest person in the Ninja Army belonging to the Toyoda Conglomerate. He had mutant powers like that of the Zerg Queen, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would have no problem dealing with fifty armed riot policemen. Hattori Jiro would have been able to kill all of them, or at least leave unscathed after killing some of them.

In the end, he died?! How could it be?

“How did Hattori Jiro die?” Shiroishi Kazuma asked anxiously. “Did he manage to complete the mission?”

“No.” The subordinate’s face was full of sorrow as he said, “The only thing we can confirm is that Lan Ruoxi is perfectly fine and nothing has happened to Hong Weiguo. Hattori Jiro is confirmed dead. The plan... has failed.”

The plan had completely failed, leaving Shiroishi Kazuma completely out of ideas.

Originally, their plan was to assassinate either Hong Weiguo or Lan Ruoxi while everyone’s attention was on the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting, then put the blame on Qian Guangzhao. That would definitely incur Hong Dali’s wrath, and the entire Heavenly State would be in a mess. Jaban’s Toyoda Conglomerate would then be able to find opportunities to invade the Heavenly State’s commercial market and take over large portions of it.

The plan would have been perfect, but once again, Shiroishi Kazuma had been defeated. He not only lost money this time, but he also lost a man. It was not easy to groom a man like Hattori Jiro.

“Since the plan has failed, we cannot stay here anymore.” Shiroishi Kazuma waved his hand and the Toyoda Conglomerate’s chief legal consultant Wada Nakamasa came in. Shiroishi Kazuma said, “We need to return to our country immediately. Hattori Jiro is dead. That means the Heavenly State must have caught wind of our plan. We cannot stay here any longer.”

Shiroishi Kazuma nodded and said, “Yes, go immediately. At the same time, cancel all our appointments and jobs in the near future.”

“But...” Wada Nakamasa suddenly asked, “What about the territories Young Master has accumulated in Tianjing City?”

“Leave them be for now.” Shiroishi Kazuma did not hesitate. “Territories won’t run away. There is no rush to deal with them.”

“Okay, let’s leave now.”

...

Tianhai Military Headquarters, large conference room.

The Military District Building was in a festive mood. Although everyone was seated, they were all chatting with each other in high spirits and laughing. Some were idly eating pumpkin seeds and others enjoying tea. There were even a few playing with their phones.

Everyone was in high spirits. The only thing they had not done yet was to set off firecrackers outside to celebrate.

“Hahaha, the plan has finally succeeded. Although there were a few small accidents in the middle, they are not important. The important thing is that the results are on course!”

“Yes, I can finally breathe easy. You have no idea, I have even gotten my will ready...”

“Me too. When I think about plotting against Hong Dali, I feel uncomfortable all over. I was living on tenterhooks.”

“This is great, hahaha. The show starts now!”

As they were all busy discussing, the doors to the large meeting room opened and the Bureau Chief walked in, beaming. He was obviously in a good mood. He was, in actual fact, in a good mood. The plan had taken such a big detour but had finally succeeded without any big accidents.

“Hello, Bureau Chief!” Everyone stood up and cheered when they saw the Bureau Chief enter.

“Haha, I believe everyone has gotten the good news.” The Bureau Chief chuckled as he waved his hand. When everyone present had taken their seats, the Bureau Chief said, “This time, our big plan took a big detour, but it has finally gone back on track.

“Shiroishi Kazuma has already sent Hattori Jiro to assassinate Lan Ruoxi. His plan was perfect. Qian Guangzhao impeached Hong Weiguo and he would send someone to assassinate Hong Dali’s parents during the Resource Chamber of Commerce encirclement. It didn’t matter if Hong Weiguo or Lan Ruoxi died. Either way, Hong Dali would be incensed, and once he exploded, the entire Heavenly State would be in chaos.

“Who would have thought that Hong Dali interfered in the process and kicked Qian Guangzhao out. The Resource Chamber of Commerce then began to encircle Qian Guangzhao, instead. Hong Weiguo also fired up his will to fight and began to purchase huge quantities of the Qian Enterprise’s shares.

“We thought that since things had progressed to this stage, the rest of the plan would be affected. One of the killers Hong Dali had taken in previously unexpectedly came in useful when he found out about Shiroishi Kazuma’s plan and informed us. So, we had Levis and Christina, two really powerful figures in the world of the assassins, come back to help us.

“In the end, we got three of the Four Kings of the assassins’ world. Hong Weiguo got Qian Enterprise. We got rid of the traitor Qian Guangzhao and successfully killed Hattori Jiro. We even managed to pin all of the aggravation on the Toyoda Conglomerate.”

When the Bureau Chief finished speaking, everyone had smiles on their faces and were all elated.

The big plan that revolved around the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting involved astronomical amounts of manpower, material, and financial resources. The most important part was the financial resources. Almost all of the major companies in the Heavenly State’s business industry were involved.

Right from the beginning, the Bureau Chief and the mysterious man had made the decision to sacrifice Sangle. According to the original plan, once Hong Weiguo was impeached, Sangle would collapse soon after. Qian Guangzhao would then make a move on Hong Weiguo.

However, if it happened that way, they would not have been able to pin the aggravation on the Toyoda Conglomerate. The Bureau Chief had originally planned to send some people disguised as Toyoda Conglomerate assassins to assassinate Hong Weiguo and pull a fast one on everyone involved.

The problem was if they had done that, the Bureau Chief and the mysterious man could not be sure if the plan would really succeed.

It was an enormous gamble. There was a fifty-fifty chance for success.

However, there were some changes in the situation, and when all the dust had settled, the end results exceeded everyone’s expectations.

“Bureau Chief,” someone asked. “What do we do now? The operation has been such a great success. You can’t possibly ask us all to pack up and go home?”

His words were met by everybody else’s agreement. “That’s right, we have come so far, at least let us see what happens next?””That’s right, that’s right. I’m really curious about what Hong Dali will do to the Toyoda Conglomerate!”

The level of excitement in the crowd surged.

“Hehe, okay, okay. Everyone, calm down!” The Bureau Chief gestured with his hands and said, smiling, “I know that everyone is very curious. To be honest, I am very curious too. Yes, I heard that Hong Weiguo intends to return to the Resource Chamber of Commerce. He registered a new company called Dali Pan-Entertainment Civil Technology Group Corporation. The company is already in existence, so what’s left is to get some people back to calculate its total assets. I will call the little brat Dali now and have him send Ling Xiaoyi back. Hehe, Ling Xiaoyi put on quite a show during the family meeting. Her performance should be even more impressive at the Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting this time!”

“Yes, yes! Haha. This is a good idea!””Bureau Chief, make the call quickly, we are waiting!””That’s right, it will be so heartless of you if you don’t let us watch such an entertaining show!”

“Haha, no problem, I will call Dali now.” The Bureau Chief took out his smartphone and called Hong Dali after searching for his number. The call soon connected and Hong Dali’s lazy voice was heard on the other end of the line. “It’s Uncle Chief. Are you looking for me again so soon because the request for the satellites has been approved?”

The Bureau Chief suddenly started sweating profusely. He had completely forgotten about that!

“Ah, haha, it’s not because of that.” The Bureau Chief wiped his sweat off, saying, “I want to borrow Ling Xiaoyi. Simply put, your father has set up a company in your name and we would like to calculate the total assets.”

“Oh.” Hong Dali paused, before replying with some reluctance, “Sister Xiaoyi has been busy helping me get materials recently because we are working on a very interesting new invention. She cannot leave.”

“Ah?” The Bureau Chief and everyone else was taken aback. If Ling Xiaoyi could not come, then who could come? Others would not be reliable, and besides, the only suitable subordinate on Hong Dali’s side was Lin Xiaoyi. No one else was suitable.

Actually, if the Bureau Chief had insisted, Hong Dali would relent and send Ling Xiaoyi, but the problem was that Hong Dali’s squandering was not to be interfered with in any way. So, even if the Bureau Chief wanted to insist on it, he could not.

“Ah, how about this,” Hong Dali suddenly smiled and said, “I’ll lend you our Running Dog. Running Dog is very clever!”

Dog... Running Dog?! That mechanical arm that had artificial intelligence, Running Dog?!

“Little brat.” the Bureau Chief immediately raged when he heard what Hong Dali said. “Do you know how important this is! You are sending a robot? Will it work? We need to calculate assets, not put on a technology display!”

“Che, our Running Dog is very clever!” Hong Dali could be heard saying. “Isn’t it, Running Dog?”

“Yes, Young Master!” Running Dog replied with conviction.

“Running Dog,” Hong Dali said. “Tell them what you can do!”

“I can squander.” Running Dog replied matter-of-factly.

The Bureau Chief and everyone else started sweating profusely in wordless disbelief.

...

September 2nd, 2014, would be an unforgettable day. That was because that was the day the Internet mogul, Hong Weiguo, who had been impeached by the Resource Chamber of Commerce, was set to return to the Resource Chamber of Commerce!

Furthermore, this time, things were not so simple. He was not there alone. There was someone with him that would shocked everyone.

It was a robot. And from the looks of it, it was not an ordinary robot!
