Amidst the hustle and bustle of the capital, for the past two months, five major conglomerates have dominated all resources.
The Lord and his five friends are not only among the wealthiest groups, but they have also recently become known for their obsessive hoarding of resources.
Meanwhile, the mayor of the capital became suspicious of their actions and took the Duke in for questioning.
When the Duke returned to the private villa where he had been dining with his friends, his expression was somewhat grave. The group had been waiting for some time, and the four close friends sat around the ornately decorated dining table.
During the meal, the wine in the glasses was quietly stirred, and the four people's eyes met, tacitly knowing that something was happening.
Dongfang Ao was the first to speak. He met Junjue's gaze and asked, "Brother, what does the mayor want with you?"
Junjue took a deep breath and said slowly, "The mayor suspects our motives for collecting supplies and is worried that we are preparing to challenge the capital."
Su Ye took a sip of wine and said softly, "Mayor, you're being too cautious. We're only acting in our own future interests and have no intention of taking action against the capital."
Ye Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he sneered, "The mayor is a man of great experience; how could he easily believe what we say? Does he expect me to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the city government for questioning?"
Upon hearing this, Di Zhantian scoffed, "Let him ask if he wants to. Why should we be afraid of him? I doubt the mayor would dare to do anything to us."
The Duke put down his wine glass, his eyes gradually becoming deep. He said, "Although the mayor dares not do anything to us, our ambitions and aspirations have exceeded their imagination."
They should empower us to control more resources and bring the capital under our control.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Ao frowned slightly: "Jue, what do you mean by that?"
Junjue looked at his four friends with deep affection and said slowly, "We've already done a lot as a conglomerate. They're just worried that we'll seize control of the capital."
Anyway, the catastrophe is in ten days, so I've called a meeting of all the highest-ranking officials in the capital tomorrow afternoon.
A glint flashed in Ye Yuan's eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his lips: "Jue, since we've collected almost all the supplies and squandered almost all the money, it's time for the country to make some preparations."
Di Zhantian slammed his hand on the table and laughed loudly, "That's right, we've collected all our supplies. Whether it's food, drink, daily necessities, clothing, shelter, or transportation, we have everything we need."
Su Ye looked at the four of them with a hint of relief in his eyes: "Jue, we support whatever you want to do. Giving the country ten days to prepare is also a way for us to do our part for our compatriots."
Junjue looked at Su Ye with a firm gaze, his tone full of determination: "I think so too. After all, our strength is too insignificant. It is more beneficial for the future environment if the country steps in to make preparations."
The group chatted for a long time, and finally went back to shower and rest very late.
Junjue stored the food piled up in the warehouse into his spatial storage, then took a shower and rested. Tomorrow he would have to announce this news to the higher-ups of the Dragon Kingdom, so he had to be careful!
The night passed quickly. After having lunch, Junjue stored the women's products and various valuable furniture that had been delivered to the villa into his space, and then drove his luxury car to the mayor's office.
In the conference room of Chen Dehua, the mayor of the capital city, dozens of the highest-ranking figures in the Dragon Kingdom sat quietly, their faces solemn and worried. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on one person at the conference table—Jun Jue.
Junjue, the head of the five major financial groups in the capital, is a man of exceptional beauty but also a mysterious and unpredictable figure.
He stood up, his face cold and stern, his eyes revealing a sharpness that could not be ignored.
"Gentlemen, I bring you some unfortunate news." The Duke's voice was deep and powerful: "In ten days, a natural disaster will strike, and it will be a series of calamities."
Acid rain, torrential rain, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, smog, extreme heat, blizzards, extreme cold... all sorts of natural disasters will follow one after another.
Moreover, it will be a devastating blow, causing everything in the sea to mutate and eventually contaminate life on land, which will be unavoidable.
After all the natural disasters have passed, the apocalypse will eventually arrive, and the man-eating zombies and animal zombies from the movies will appear.
A silence fell over the conference room; everyone seemed to sense the impending terror. Acid rain, torrential downpours, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, smog, extreme heat, blizzards, extreme cold… a series of natural disasters were about to strike.
Natural disasters aren't enough? What about the apocalypse? All sorts of mutated creatures will appear, as if an irreversible catastrophe is about to descend upon the Dragon Kingdom.
"This is impossible!" Mayor Chen Dehua's expression changed drastically. "Our prediction system has always guaranteed that natural disasters will not occur simultaneously. How can this be?"
The Duke smiled mysteriously and said slowly, "This time, it's different. I've just been reborn from the dead and gained a special ability. These calamities will occur in a way never before seen."
The elderly man sitting at the head of the table asked, getting straight to the point:
"How can you prove you were reborn? Is this why your five major conglomerates have been hoarding resources lately?"
"Want to prove it? It's simple!" With that, the Duke conjured six crackling bolts of lightning in his hand, which instantly struck the floor.
"Bang bang bang..." Six consecutive claps of thunder rang out, and six cracks, each five or six meters long, instantly appeared on the floor.
In an instant, six more ice spikes flew out and pierced the wall, instantly creating six cracks in the wall.
The lord's terrifying actions left everyone around him speechless with shock.
