Chapter 861
Meng Chao froze.
Lü Fanghui's question was too sharp. For a moment, he did not know how to parry it.
After all, in his previous life, the Nine Super Enterprises had led Dragon City to destruction.
That naturally left him with little faith in the "Nine."
After being reborn, he had focused on the Nine's flaws and on how to change the situation in which Dragon City was controlled by them.
But mentally, he was far more mature than he looked, and he did not believe that toppling the Nine Super Enterprises would save Dragon City.
Things were not that simple.
What was more, Super Enterprises were "super" precisely because they had swollen to the point of being too big to fail.
Leaving aside the fact that the Nine were packed with experts and powerhouses, and that their founders were all God Realm Experts—
They controlled most of Dragon City's strategic sectors, and during the Monster War, they had made enormous contributions to Dragon City. Their fates had long since been bound tightly together with Dragon City's.
The collapse of the Nine would inevitably trigger a chain reaction, perhaps even an earthquake that swept across the entire Dragon City Civilization.
Therefore, although Meng Chao had clearly taken the side of the Crimson Dragon Army, small and medium-sized enterprises, and the children of humble families—
He had never rejected cooperation with Super Enterprises or the children of powerful families.
Unity, even superficial unity, was crucial to Dragon City's future.
