The Seven Puppets' expressions grew uglier and uglier, as though dense black vapor were pouring from their seven orifices and every pore, turning them into vicious demons with daggers bared at the end of the map.
Lü Siya remained unmoved.
"The Red Creek Project crystal warehouse explosion was your first major move after surfacing. Under ideal circumstances, the explosion should have been linked to the beast clans in the Middle and Lower Reaches of Tiger's Fury River, creating favorable conditions for the Nine Super Enterprises to dispatch troops alone, swallow vast tracts of land north of Dragon City, establish independent kingdoms of their own, and drown out every voice of opposition."
Lü Siya said calmly, "Unfortunately, things went against your wishes. Not only did your rampage fail to achieve its goal, it backfired, stirring ordinary Dragon City citizens and Transcendents from humble backgrounds to become wary of the Nine Super Enterprises' immense ambitions.
"Things having come to this, the Nine Super Enterprises can no longer possibly cast aside the Crimson Dragon Army and other interest groups to send troops alone into the Middle and Lower Reaches of Tiger's Fury River and fight an 'Enterprise War.'
"I believe countless influential big shots within the Nine Super Enterprises, men who wield tremendous power, have all been itching to make a fortune from this long-awaited war. Perhaps they have already invested immeasurable costs. If the war fails to erupt as they envisioned, their losses will be astronomical.
"Your stupidity may very well have left them with nothing but ruin. Those big shots probably want nothing more than to chop you up and feed you to dogs.
"To avoid disappointing the financiers behind you, and to prove you still have value, you could only keep escalating your plans, taking desperate risks again and again.
