The police force has withdrawn, and the surrounding situation has been stabilized by the troops. Nanhua City is peaceful once again, but the residents are anxious and on the verge of losing control; a major upheaval is about to break out.
As for how to calm the citizens, that is something Fu Meng, the mayor, needs to think about. If he can manage it well, the crisis will be resolved smoothly. This is a true test of a mayor's capabilities.
If he can handle this matter properly, his position as mayor will be unshakeable.
After Mo Ming watched Ji Yue leave and turned around, Liufeng and others approached him.
“Boss, you really are something! You managed to suppress today’s incident; it seems your backing is quite strong!” Crocodile praised with a thumbs up.
“Isn’t that obvious? The boss’s father is someone more formidable than Li Gang. Besides, we are fighting against evil forces; even if we’re not heroes, we can’t be cowards!” Poisonous Madness rolled his eyes at Crocodile and said.
“You think you’re so great? What do you know about fighting against evil forces? Can you even tell right from wrong?” Crocodile retorted unhappily.
“Crocodile, you idiot! What do you mean by that? What’s right and what’s wrong? I am right, and the Dark Order Organization is wrong!” Poisonous Madness thumped his chest.
In fact, distinguishing between right and wrong is indeed difficult. People’s minds have formed specific ways of thinking; anything that harms others or society and the nation is considered wrong. Killing is wrong; breaking the law is wrong. According to the victors' definitions, the losers are always wrong!
“Alright, enough of this! There’s nothing to argue about. You guys should hurry up and help!” Wu Yong said. “Our fallen brothers must be honored in death! We can’t let them die without a proper resting place!”
“Brother Yong is right; our fallen brothers deserve a proper burial, not a hasty affair!” Mo Ming nodded in agreement and thought for a moment before saying, “How about this? I’ll add a cemetery to the land we’re currently developing so that our sacrificed brothers can have a home! We must not let them down!”
“That’s a good proposal! I support it!” Liufeng nodded and asked, “Boss, should we start building it right away?”
“Of course! There’s no time to waste. Liufeng, go find people to get started immediately. No matter how much it costs, I want it done quickly, and the cemetery must be of good quality; our brothers deserve better than being buried in a poor place!”
Mo Ming’s voice was not loud, but many brothers heard it clearly in their hearts, warming them inside. This kind of leader is truly worth following!
Liu Hong and others were somewhat inclined to join Mo Ming's camp to fight together, but unfortunately, the current mission had already concluded, and they should return to their original posts.
"Alright, I'll take care of it right now! I promise to ensure that our fallen brothers are comfortable!" Liufeng said before immediately leaving.
"Poisonous Madness, arrange for the injured brothers to be taken to the hospital for proper treatment. No matter the cost, I will cover all expenses. Also, find a private hospital; I want to buy it! It must be the best hospital; money is not an issue," Mo Ming said seriously to Poisonous Madness.
This statement caused many people to gasp in surprise. While many knew that Mo Ming was wealthy, no one realized just how rich he was. His extravagant spending without hesitation was something not everyone could achieve.
The land in Nanhua City is not cheap. Purchasing a private hospital, especially a high-end one, would require billions of dollars; otherwise, it would be impossible.
"Should we use the Gold Card?" Poisonous Madness asked.
"If you want to use your own money, I certainly won't mind," Mo Ming replied curtly.
"Hey, don't! I was just asking casually. Boss, please don't take it seriously! I'm busy right now and will make sure everything is handled properly," Poisonous Madness said as he hurried off to get things done.
Seeing Poisonous Madness leave, Mo Ming raised an eyebrow, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he turned to Crocodile. "Crocodile, you are responsible for tallying the list of our fallen brothers. Those with family must be taken care of properly; we can't spare any expense on this. You handle it; I won't make specific arrangements."
"That's no problem!" Crocodile nodded and said, "Alright, Boss, I'll take care of it now!"
With that, Crocodile also went off to handle his tasks.
"Brothers, thank you all for today. Without you, we wouldn't have achieved our ultimate victory. Although many brothers sacrificed themselves this time, they are heroes! They will live forever in our hearts!" Mo Ming said heavily as he patted his chest.
These words resonated with everyone present, filling their hearts with a sense of sorrow.
After all, everyone is brothers, and they have been through a lot together. Suddenly, when a brother leaves like this, it can leave one feeling somewhat lost.
"Alright, without further ado, let me say one last thing: battle is destined to bring bloodshed. We do not desire war, but we do not fear it either. If the enemy wishes to revel in our blood, then we must retaliate with flesh and bone!" Mo Ming's gaze swept over everyone present as he continued, "That's all I have to say. Now, everyone can go back to your own business!"
After hearing Mo Ming's words, many people began to busy themselves with their own matters—some chatted casually, some mourned, and those who wanted peace quietly left to find a tranquil place.
Liu Hong approached with a smile and said, "Ming Shao, it has been an honor to collaborate with you today. Unfortunately, we may not have the chance to work together again in the future. Now that everything is over and we've lingered long enough, we'll take our leave."
"Thank you all. If you are willing in the future, I will still seek your help!" Mo Ming chuckled.
"Sure! We'll be waiting for your news, Ming Shao! Goodbye!" Liu Hong replied cheerfully before leading his brothers away.
"By the way, Yong Ge, where's Demon Eye? Where did that kid go?" Mo Ming looked around but couldn't find any trace of Demon Eye and frowned as he asked.
"That kid is probably scared out of his wits and hiding inside the house. It's fine; even if the whole world dies, he can still live healthily!" Wu Yong rolled his eyes in annoyance. If it weren't for Demon Eye's lack of combat ability, he would have dragged him out long ago!
Who would run away while their brothers were fighting for their lives?
In truth, Demon Eye wasn't that bad off. Not to mention that as a thief he lacked courage; even if he had enough guts, he wouldn't know how to use a gun!
If he were forced into battle, it was likely that the enemy wouldn't be harmed at all while his brothers would suffer injuries.
"Let's go inside," Mo Ming said as he stepped into the house. At that moment, Demon Eye came down from upstairs, yawning and stretching.
When he saw Mo Ming, his eyes lit up as if he had seen his long-lost father and rushed over: "Thank goodness you finally came! Damn it, I thought this great hero was going to fall here! You scared me half to death."
"Hero? If you're a hero, then I'm God! Have you ever seen a hero sleeping at such a critical moment?" Mo Ming said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Damn, how could that be? I'm an intellectual hero, not a battlefield warrior. If there's fighting to be done, you reckless fools can handle it. When it comes to strategy, that's where I come in. We have clear divisions of labor, understood? You can't expect a commoner to charge into battle!" Demon Eye shamelessly replied.
"An intellectual, huh? Well then, prove your worth and tell me what we should do now!" Mo Ming laughed.
"Alright, let me analyze this for you. I dare say their goal isn't me. If it were because of me, they wouldn't be making such a big fuss..."
"You really understand your own value!" Mo Ming interrupted Demon Eye.
"What are you doing? Be serious; I'm trying to analyze this!" Demon Eye said. "First of all, my value is immense! Secondly, they just don't understand my identity!"
"So what do you think they're after?"
"What are they after? I don't know, but it's probably not for one person; it must be something very important. Let's temporarily call it an object!" Demon Eye continued. "This object is unique in the world and extremely rare. It could be a martial arts manual that allows one to control the world, or perhaps a miraculous elixir for eternal life, or it might be a crucial secret document. Other than that, I can't think of anything else that would be worth their effort."
Demon Eye was deep in thought.
Mo Ming was somewhat shocked by Demon Eye's analysis. Although he hadn't figured out that the object was a stone, he had essentially hit the nail on the head—Eternal Life!
If someone without brains were to guess, they probably wouldn't arrive at these points; Mo Ming felt he wouldn't have thought of them either.
"Right! That's it!" Demon Eye exclaimed excitedly as he snapped his fingers. "That object must definitely be related to Eternal Life!"
"Why didn't you say it's a medicine?" Wu Yong asked.
"Idiot! If that thing were medicine, that bastard Mo Ming would have eaten it long ago. Why would anyone else have the chance to snatch it? So, that thing isn't medicine; it's just related!" Demon Eye looked at Wu Yong with disdain.
"Hey, you say I have a bad temper? Look at my bad temper! I really want to smash my fist the size of a sand pot into your lewd face!" Wu Yong rolled up his sleeves and shook his head.
"Alright, stop digressing. Let me analyze this for you!" Demon Eye said seriously, stopping Wu Yong with a hand. "Martial arts manuals? There's no martial arts manual that can make someone that impulsive. After all, this isn't some martial arts movie where there's a technique to dominate the world. Even if you have the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth, can you withstand a missile?"
"So it can't be a martial arts manual, and it can't be a major secret! If Mo Ming had a major secret, why would he need me? Besides, the secret is already in Mo Ming's hands; even if we take it back, it wouldn't matter!" Demon Eye analyzed.
"Then why not something else?" Mo Ming asked with a smile.
The result of Demon Eye's analysis might just be a case of blind luck; after all, there are too many things in the world to narrow it down to just three possibilities.
"It definitely can't be anything else. Think about it: with their power, how many things are they unable to obtain? Their goal must be something that's highly unlikely yet something they desperately want to achieve—Eternal Life!" Demon Eye said confidently. "That thing must be related to Eternal Life! Mo Ming, am I right?"
"That's too far-fetched; it's impossible! Eternal Life cannot exist in this world!" Wu Yong also didn't understand the connection between Spirit Stone and Eternal Life and immediately denied it.
"You’re right; it is indeed related to Eternal Life. However, what exactly that relationship is, I don't understand," Mo Ming nodded.
