Young Leader

At this moment, the founder of Qiongqi Mining had a very cold look in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, and it took him a long time to slowly withdraw his gaze and sit down in the chair.

"Use all available resources and spare no expense to find Chen Wang for me!"

"I want him to pay for this in blood!"

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes."

This old man possesses unimaginable power in the Qiongqi Mining.

As one of the original founders, he held real power, and his disciples and Lineage members also held positions of real power.

Everyone left, including his own son, the somewhat bookish middle-aged man.

Everyone was trembling with fear, sweating profusely.

They were all afraid that the old man would take his anger out on them.

After everyone left, the old man stayed alone in the room, his eyes filled with barely suppressed rage. "Fine! Fine! How dare you show off to me, to everyone! What a murderer, Chen Wang!"

His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked like an angry lion ready to devour its prey.

The matter quickly escalated and spread throughout the Winter.

It can be said that the entire officialdom of the Winter was in an uproar. Whether it was Qiongqi Mining, Shengda, or Apocalypse, they all attached great importance to this matter.

The killing of Old Wang caused a sensation. He was a powerful leader who had made many preparations in advance. Moreover, the whole city was under martial law at the time, and many deceptions were set up. From any perspective, Old Wang's arrangements at the time were very secure.

But instead of escaping, he was ambushed and brutally killed by Chen Wang.

Now it's even more outrageous: the founder's grandson, his most valued junior, was actually murdered in his own faction's guesthouse!

Not only that, but the fourth-tier Gene Warrior accompanied him and protected him, as well as all the soldiers, were all silently killed in the room, dying instantly.

And without alerting anyone at the guesthouse.

This incident caused a huge uproar, and news about Chen Wang quickly spread.

"I heard that last time, it was this Qin Feng who tried to deal with Chen Wang. Chen Wang fought his way out of the Shelter, and a few months later, he returned and brutally murdered Qin Feng in his own guesthouse. It's said that he died a very gruesome death!"

"Not only was he beaten beyond recognition, but they also tore off his arm and wrote the five big characters 'Murderer Chen Wang ' on the wall!"

"Why do I feel so happy to hear that such a noble and privileged young man has died!"

"That's right, me too! The killer, Chen Wang, just hearing those five words is enough to get my blood pumping!"

"This man is truly lawless, killing his superiors and the sons of powerful figures. Has he gone mad with bloodshed?"

"The emergence of such a person in this era makes me feel that it's not so boring. The key is that he is a divine son of the Church. Does this mean that he will take over the Church in the future?"

A strong wind blew up in the Winter.

Thanks to the Church's tireless promotion, many people already held Chen Wang in high esteem and even mythologized him.

Now that this matter has escalated, it's even more so.

I've just adjusted the angle slightly when narrating this story.

This is not an ordinary revenge case.

It's not a freelance job, it's a grassroots job.

He sacrificed his life for Qiongqi Mining and made great contributions, but was stripped of everything and imprisoned by a single sentence from the sons of the powerful and wealthy.

This absurd situation is infuriating, baffling, and has sparked strong antagonism.

Many details of the incident have been revealed, with some parts embellished and made to sound very convincing.

"Qiongqi Mining has been corrupt for a long time. What do these high-ups know? All they know is how to make a lot of money, enjoy themselves, and play with women. It is we soldiers who are fighting hard, but they can take away our merits and strip us of everything with just a word."

"Why?! Damn it, we risk our lives for such a small reward, and we still get fooled by them!"

This trend is not only a trend of hatred and revenge, but also a trend of class struggle.

The saying "A single spark can start a prairie fire" is indeed true.

Although it hasn't caused too much trouble yet, the seed has already been sown.

This overwhelming propaganda has deeply penetrated people's hearts, and various versions of the story continue to circulate, but they are all basically the same: promoting this kind of resistance against oppression.

Under normal social order, it might be quickly extinguished, but the Winter was a chaotic and primitive era where bloodshed and death were commonplace.

In this situation, some of the contradictions that had been accumulating will soon come to light.

Inside a bar, a young man dressed unremarkable was drinking.

On the streets and in alleys, in bars, and during leisure time, everyone was talking about Chen Wang.

Rebel against superiors, defy authority, and kill in a fit of rage, seeking revenge and vengeance.

This kind of thing is exactly what these rough men and thugs who spend their days walking on the edge of life and death are happy to see. Not only that, but a lot of news also circulates about it.

Some shocking things about the Qin Family and other powerful Lineage and forces.

"Have you heard? It turns out that Qiongqi Mining has several Shelter outside of the normal Shelter sequence."

"What? Such a thing exists? Why have we never known about it?"

"Because those Shelter were specifically used for experiments, the elderly, women and children inside were their experimental subjects. They would even breed Zombies to bite people in order to verify the effects of different Zombies and different drugs on biting people."

"Damn it, Zombies are the common enemy of mankind. We're too busy fighting them to even do this kind of thing in secret!"

"Many Drifters have gone missing because they were captured and used for these experiments. Not only that, but several large water sources have actually been found, but they have kept it a secret from the public in order to raise prices. Prices have already increased three times this year. They are trying to bleed us dry and take our lives!"

"That's right, these high-ups live a life of luxury and debauchery, while we down here fight to the death for a little bit of pay. Our families sometimes disappear, and we have no protection at all. I fuck the Three Great Powers!"

"That's right, fuck the hell out of me, I have a gun too, what the hell am I afraid of!"

"Damn it, my son is missing, could he have been captured here and killed by them?!"

Many inside stories were exposed, bloody and shocking.

This time, not only the Qin Family, but also many secrets of several other powerful Lineage that the Qin Family had been in contact with were exposed.

Moreover, it also involves some matters related to Shengda and Apocalypse.

Because many people traded with the Qin Family, the inside stories that were revealed were not ordinary inside stories; only key figures could know them.

Many people also directed the pressure at the Qin Family.

All of this information was exposed, promotional materials were everywhere, and many messages were circulating in the shadows.

The secrets of the powerful Lineage and the dark rule of the upper echelons spread rapidly, causing an uproar throughout the Winter! The old man of the Qin Family was furious. He had smashed things more than ten times in the past three days, and would fly into a rage at any time, smashing everything in the house.

"Chen Wang! It's Chen Wang again! You still haven't found him! Find him for me!"

He has been throwing tantrums, and the frequency of his outbursts is increasing, perhaps more often than in the previous decade or so.

Not only were these inside stories of the Qin Family leaked, but several of the Qin Family's secret places of wealth accumulation and their armory were also looted.

When he arrived, everything was completely cleared, nothing was left behind. The operation was extremely clean and efficient; all the guards were killed, with no survivors.

The Qin Family's business also faced unprecedented targeting.

Many places were attacked, and the operation was extremely meticulous, as if they had known about their plans all along.

"Damn it, Qin Feng is useless. He must have given up everything under torture!"

The Qin Family is facing an unprecedented blow.

There must have been a leak from a high-ranking official, and not just any high-ranking official.

He flew into a rage, so much so that no one in the entire courtyard dared to speak loudly.

The enormous Qin Family has also suffered many setbacks during this period.

This was unbelievable before, as this Old Qin was one of the founders of Qiongqi Mining.

Now, some of the other founders' business dealings and core information have also been leaked.

They also turned their attention to the Qin Family.

Some people want to get an explanation for their losses.

Some of them already had conflicts with the Qin Family.

The founders were not working together; instead, they were scheming against each other and fighting fiercely. They took advantage of this situation to try and bring down the Qin Family.

At least it will prevent them from controlling so much real power.

Therefore, Old Qin was extremely anxious at this time.

In this incident, Chen Wang's propaganda tactics were secondary; the key issue was that some people saw this opportunity and wanted to bring down the Qin Family.

"This Chen Wang is terrifying. He not only knows how to kill, but he also has so many other methods. He wants to destroy my Qin Family!"

In this day and age, one must remain strong to gain an advantage and secure territory during Winter; otherwise, one cannot protect one's family business.

This is also why Old Qin values Qin Feng so highly.

He needs a successor who is courageous, resourceful, and decisive.

But now everything was in chaos, and the entire Qin Family seemed to be dragged into a quagmire.

He thought he could resolve the issue, but he didn't expect to get deeper and deeper into it during this period, making him feel increasingly exhausted.

When the Qin Family is no longer so powerful, many people will have restless thoughts, making things more complicated.

Thanks to Chen Wang's intelligence, the Church achieved great victories during this period.

It was not only a victory in public opinion, but also a great deal of tangible benefits, such as weapons, food, water, and resources.

Chen Wang was a ruthless strategist, and the bishops of those Church were no pushovers either; they knew how to maximize their own interests.

The guidelines that Chen Wang formulated for his subordinates at the base were also discussed with several bishops at the meeting.

Some of the bishops disagreed with his proposal.

But some people also know that his suggestion is very crucial.

They packaged the Church's glorious image, presenting it as a savior, to win over ordinary people, influence public opinion, attract low- and mid-level military officers, and recruit freelance Gene Warrior.

These things are all crucial; they are strategic considerations that can play a decisive role in achieving victory.

However, putting it into practice is extremely difficult.

With more people, there are more ideas, and many things become difficult to manage.

Moreover, if you design a glorious image, there are many things you can no longer do, or you have to restrain your subordinates when you do them.

This is a big change for some bishops.

Lei Guohua, Wen Zhen, and Zhang Fengming are the three who firmly support Chen Wang. In addition, they have won over two more people. Five of the nine bishops have now become Chen Wang's staunch supporters. The third person, although not as enthusiastic, has also expressed his full support.

Only Bishop Liao Changli, who controlled the Adjudication Team, and two others didn't seem to care about some of Chen Wang's affairs.

Their men act with the utmost impunity; it's a concentration camp of thugs and hooligans.

The Adjudication Team is full of lunatics; that's no exaggeration.

Liao Changli, who was able to control the Adjudication Team, was a madman among madmen.

From the very beginning, he disagreed with nominating Chen Wang as the divine son, and his policy toward Chen Wang was one of outward compliance but inward resistance.

However, the Church had a voting mechanism, and the other people all passed the vote. The three of them did not resist and were quite cooperative in the early stages.

Seeing that the results were getting better and better, he had other ideas and wanted to use this opportunity to seize power and control the pace of things.

In a small room,

The various ornaments are quite simple, except for a huge Mountain Water hanging there, which is said to be the work of a master before the Winter, and is magnificent.

There is a vase about the height of a person next to it, which is also an antique from before the Winter.

Chen Wang had sensed it, but there was no special aura about it; it was just an antique.

He was still in the room with the three old men.

However, two more elderly people then walked in.

An elderly man had age spots on his face, his body was somewhat hunched, and he had large bags under his eyes.

His name is Huo Zhengyuan, and he is a newly recruited leader in this small team.

There was an old man with a hooked nose and white hair who didn't seem very approachable.

It was during this period that these two people realized Chen Wang's value and the enormous benefits he brought to the Church.

They joined Lei Guohua's camp, and from the very beginning, when he hailed Chen Wang as a divine son, they expressed their support and cooperated fully with some of his decisions.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the old man named Huo Zhengyuan slowly spoke, "When things were first started, we couldn't see the direction, so there weren't any troubles. Now that the situation is very good, some people can't help but jump out and sing a different tune."

He was referring to Bishop Liao, who held real power in the Adjudication Team.

The Adjudication Team was a notorious organization within the Church and was later abolished.

However, although those people were scattered and wandering in various places, they were actually taken in and controlled by Bishop Liao.

Now that the Adjudication Team has been reorganized, Bishop Liao's reputation within the Church is extremely poor.

Several bishops disliked him, including the neutral one.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Wang. If he originally regarded Chen Wang as the Son of God with the intention of making him a representative, now he saw signs of the Church unifying the Winter. This man was a Young Leader! This was the current opinion of these bishops regarding Chen Wang.

Thanks for your support, brothers! It's almost the end of the month, so if you have any monthly passes, please give me some! Thanks!
