NOVEL NEXT Chapter 372: Rules of the Game in the Abyss Era_2
As a result, she was taken to the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau and interrogated for a whole night. No matter how she argued, it was of no use because the surveillance footage couldn't prove what she said.
When she was being framed, it was Lu Heng who went to Iron Blood to get her out.
Because of that incident, Yuan Yaoyao genuinely understood Lu Heng's predicament.
Of course, the two events were only similar in some details, but fundamentally different.
Lu Heng turned back and showed her a smile, saying, "Don't worry about these things, just be happy. Go find your dad, don't let him worry."
"Okay, even if others don't believe me, I will always believe in you, don't lose heart." After saying this, Yuan Yaoyao giggled and waved before running back.
...
Lu Heng entered the meeting room; the other three team members were already there.
"Who were you talking to outside?" Lin Zeyu curiously glanced towards the door.
"Yuan Yaoyao." Lu Heng casually replied.
In fact, what Yuan Yaoyao said just now did bring some comfort to Lu Heng.
However, she didn't see the essence of this incident at all.
This event now has nothing to do with whether Gilbert Ocam was killed.
This is an ideological war initiated by the ASE Alliance, centered around the White Eagle Federation and the Lion Heart Empire, with Gilbert Ocam merely being a sacrifice for them.
"The public opinion on the internet is not looking good right now; they're all cursing us." Lin Zeyu had been trying to manage public relations during this time but didn't achieve much success.
Xie Shi'en, anxious to return, also cared about this matter: "Should we step in and do something?"
Lu Heng, however, remained calm, smiling as he said, "Don't be overly tense; this kind of situation is normal. After all, new players want to join the game, and the original dealers won't sit idly by."
This statement directly pointed out the current situation.
No mistake.
All the ideological warfare and demonization of Great Xia superpower users in public opinion are just appearances.
The real undercurrent is that the power represented by Lu Heng is about to get on the table.
The Human World is a chess game with heaven and earth as the board, originally hosted by the 33-level families and a few powerful countries within the ASE Alliance.
And the national landscape is equally complex.
Countries without sovereignty are basically held by certain forces.
For example, a small but economically developed country is controlled by a company, and the possessors behind this company are actually members of the ASE Alliance.
In this era where the order is about to collapse, sovereignless countries are bound to be the first to fall.
And the families and capital within the ASE Alliance would not be benevolent enough to miss any opportunity to gain power, even if they have to drain these countries dry.
On the game's table of the Human World were originally several sovereign nations and the ASE Alliance, along with other forces.
The landscape is indeed so, but there is a significant difference between national and capital forces.
Essentially, on this table, there is no inherent antagonism between national and capital forces.
The long-standing strategy of the ASE Alliance has been to infiltrate and control these countries, and they have had successful precedents.
Now, it is early August of the second year since the Abyss Descent.
At this point in time, new forces are beginning to rise, challenging the original controllers of the board.
Before this, Lu Heng had always been low-key, adhering to a principle of quiet development, not actively provoking the forces and families on the game's table as long as the other party did not touch his bottom line.
However, as the power of the Flame Emblem grew stronger and the status of Quenching Castle rose higher.
The resultant economy, industry, and foundation also deepened, inevitably changing the global landscape.
And the core figure of all this power is Lu Heng.
In one showdown after another, Lu Heng gradually came to the notice of those standing behind the board game of the world, eventually becoming the thorn in their side.
Because the powers centered on the Flame Emblem have already demonstrated formidable strength, challenging the rules set by the ASE Alliance.
Even if Lu Heng did not intend to, he was inevitably regarded as a contender by these major families.
Yes, the current situation is such that even if Lu Heng doesn't want to get on the table, he will be dragged onto it.
This game has reached a point where it's impossible to back down.
A bit of thought is enough to know.
If Lu Heng does not wish to play this game with the ASE Alliance, there's only one choice, which is to completely abandon the Flame Emblem.
Currently, Lu Heng's team still holds half of the shares in Flame Emblem, and this is the core.
Surrendering this half of the shares would be equivalent to folding and leaving the game.
If this is done, what would be the final outcome?
Would the families in the ASE Alliance let them go?
Impossible. Apart from anything else, the Planter family of the Lion Heart Empire would never let them go.
The consequence of withdrawing from the game is that you will be liquidated.
Once on the table, you have to keep playing, and moreover, you have to win.
Furthermore, in this era, Lu Heng has a clear goal.
To find a way to defeat the Abyss, one must first take control of this game.
Only by first mastering this chess game of the Human World can one be qualified to enter the chess game of the Abyss World.
So, in this showdown, there's no possibility of retreat.
"What do we do now?" Lin Zeyu could understand the current situation but didn't know what to do.
"Wait and see what they do next. Since they're using this ideological warfare tactic, it means they're afraid to make a move. If they're afraid to do so, then let us act. When the time to counterattack appears, let them know the real rules of this era." Lu Heng's eyes flashed with a sharp, lightning-like gaze.
The three of them understood what this statement meant.
The era has changed.
Before the Abyss Era, at that time, money was supreme.
Even wars were fought with money.
However, the rules of the game in the Abyss Era have already changed.
