Ten minutes later, the girl's brow injury had healed. She was still groggy, but immediately snapped awake upon seeing you: "Brother Yun Shou, what are you doing here?"
"No, no way, you weren't ambushed, so you also..."
"No, it's just because you didn't die." You shook your head: "I still have some of the cell repair fluid left from when I saved your brother."
"While your body was still warm from death, I let those liquids flow into your body."
"And then you lived."
"Then..." Xu Yan immediately noticed her brother lying next to her: "Brother, he..."
"They'll be alive soon too."
【"oh."】
You were suddenly caught in a damn awkward atmosphere.
[Especially when Xu Yan recalled her dying confession, she couldn't even bear to look at you now, standing there quietly with her face flushed.]
"Damn it, I didn't expect her to come back to life after confessing. There's no way we can continue like this!" you think to yourself. "Even the wisest can make a mistake."
Yun Shou: "It was an act."
[When the 16-year-old girl and the 19-year-old (36-year-old) youth remained silent, Xu Wen suddenly sat up, as if he had risen from the dead.]
He saw you right in front of him the moment he looked at you.
"Holy crap! What are you doing here? Were you ambushed and killed?"
"No wonder they're siblings, their lines are almost identical."
Upon realizing he was alive in some way, Xu Wen's face turned deathly pale.
Because he remembered the words he said to you before he died.
If there's such a thing as an underworld after death, he feels it's better for him to stay there now.
[Because this mortal realm has a vengeful and scheming old man like you, it's already more sinister than the underworld!]
Xu Wen suddenly looked to the side, at... his sister.
"Xiaoyan, did you... say something before?"
The girl lowered her head again.
Xu Wen said solemnly, "You're not young anymore. On the abandoned mining planet, some girls your age are already getting married."
"As your brother, I can't get too involved in this kind of thing—so go ahead and pursue what you want, Xiaoyan. I'll always be there to support you!"
Yun Shou: "No, you just let that precious little sister of yours be taken by that lecherous worm Twelve so easily?"
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized that this was also acceptable.
Valuing your younger sister doesn't necessarily mean you're a siscon with a desire to seduce her.
Unless it's a sister who is "not related by blood".
Even if Xu Yan has a relatively good personality and isn't like the annoying twins in most twin families, that's still family affection, and it's impossible for it to escalate to other areas.
Besides, many brothers are reluctant to part with their sisters because after they get married, most of them will be separated due to work, address, and other issues. But now, the three of them have been a regular team for over a year, so they are well-fed and worry-free, and can go wherever they want...
Yun Shou drew a conclusion.
"I was ruined by the work of the Benzene Blade."
"Holy crap, why is this blade so malicious?"
Faced with Xu Wen's plea for peace by selling his sister, you quietly looked at him and said, "...Changing the subject won't help."
[And hold up three fingers.]
"Three days?" A spark of hope ignited in Xu Wen's eyes.
You did not respond.
"Three weeks?" Xu Wen felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
You remain silent.
"Three months?" Despair welled up in Xu Wen's heart.
You gently shook your head.
[“Xiaoyan, save my teeth!” The next second, Xu Wen knelt down with a thud, hugging his younger sister's legs and crying.]
This is incredibly painful. For a captain who takes off every day, canceling his flight schedule for the next three years would be catastrophic.
"Brother, that's enough!" Xu Yan shook him off.
You quietly watch the siblings playfully bicker, and a deep sigh of relief washes over you.
"It's finally over. Now all that's left is to collect the spoils."
[You killed the high-ranking members of the conglomerate who were targeting you, but destroying the entire conglomerate is clearly impossible, because it represents the order of this planet, and while exploiting others, it also ensures the livelihood of the vast majority of people on the planet.]
[For resources and materials lacking in some abandoned mining planets, the conglomerate will apply to the spaceships that occasionally visit the airspace, exchanging them for local resources.]
[You have no intention of changing the world or reshaping a better society; you simply select a few people, put them in power, and have them handle all the paperwork for you and the three Xu siblings to travel to the airspace.]
[The people in that small town, such as Tao Xiaoxiao, the woman who was severely beaten by Elder Wang Shan, were also given good accommodations.]
"Be honest, even if you distribute 70% of your income, you can still maintain your current extravagant lifestyle and even save a considerable amount."
[The high-ranking officials you replaced aren't all good people; only a very few are truly concerned for the people. The rest are just not completely evil.]
[You didn't make them particularly honest and self-disciplined, because you yourself couldn't do it. You just told them to take less, to be less greedy, and to raise the average standard of living on the abandoned mining planet by fifty percent. Consider it a blessing you left behind after you left this world.]
[After everything was settled, it was dusk... It was nighttime at the Sixth Branch, but the conglomerate headquarters was on the other side of the planet, so it was still bright outside.]
You blinked, causing Xu Yan to step back.
[A dark shadow looms larger and appears in the sky.]
"You'd better keep your promise!" A loud laugh echoed from the exoskeleton of the iron bird, whose wingspan exceeded eight meters.
"After I kill that brat, you must also give me the 'unlimited' empty domain quota!"
[The Trash King—Military Air Force!]
He's like an army in the sky all by himself!
"Did they just connect to the village's internet?" You were speechless. As the military air force arrived above Dawn City, you snapped your fingers.
[The numerous artillery emplacements turned around and began bombarding him relentlessly.]
"You're untrustworthy!" the military air force roared, feeling cheated.
Upon discovering the towering exoskeleton in the red cloak standing on the city wall, he laughed in fury: "So that's it! I understand now, it was a hoax! You wanted to eliminate this worthless emperor, and everything before was just an act!"
"What red cloak? He's just a dog kept by your Dawn Consortium!"
Under the relentless bombardment of the high-energy artillery, he was no longer able to escape the city.
On his deathbed, he communicated with Broken Blade, the last garbage emperor on this abandoned mining planet.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! There's no hope of reaching the airspace from here!"
