Epilogue

"Who gave you this idea?" Zhang Ping'an asked again.

"No one else was involved; it was just a spontaneous idea between the two of us while we were drinking!" Zhang Yiming said.

"A spur-of-the-moment decision? Do you two think I have such a good appetite? 70 billion Gold Crystal have been trapped, not a single penny left. Is this something you can swallow?" Zhang Ping'an slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared.

Zhang Yiming was stunned when he heard his words, and then he immediately said, "Grandpa, I'm innocent! I wouldn't dare to swallow 70 billion even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard!"

The two of us only got less than 30 million together. Even if I asked for 70 billion, it wouldn't be of any use to me! I'm not going to build a country!

"He's telling the truth!" As Zhang Yiming wailed, a man behind Old Wang said to Old Wang. This man was a master of psychology.

Old Wang nodded to indicate he understood; it seems there are other people behind this!

Zhang Ping'an and the others had obviously figured it out as well, and then he looked at Zhang Yicai and asked, "Yicai, tell us!"

"It's you! You dog-like bastard, how dare you harm me! I was wondering how you could possibly have some grand scheme to make a fortune by coming to me!" Zhang Yiming shouted at Zhang Yicai.

Zhang Yicai suddenly stopped trembling. He looked at Zhang Yiming and said with a cold smile, "I didn't come looking for you. You came to me because you heard I had a money-making project. Although I tried my best to stop you, you still got involved, didn't you?"

"You... you bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Enough! Take him out of jail and then transfer him to Federal Court!"

Yi Cai, can you tell me why? You're the one I have the most faith in among the Zhang Family members of the "Yi" generation.

"As long as you focus on your studies, you'll eventually take control of the Zhang Family's business empire. Why do you want to?" Zhang Ping'an asked, puzzled.

"Why should I control the Zhang Family's business empire? And then diligently serve as your dog?"

You saw how we were treated when we were exposed; you saw that a young master didn't treat me like a human being at all.

Being a business leader sounds glamorous, but aren't you still basically working like a dog for us?

Ah?!"

His words left Zhang Ping'an and the others speechless. The Zhang Family's identity seemed wonderful, but only those of them who were outside the family knew how deep the shackles they were bound to be.

They have no chance of getting ahead and will never be able to turn their lives around.

They're even restricted to certain professions from birth. You talk about dreams? That's something you don't deserve to have.

As the most outstanding patriarch of the Zhang Family in the past few centuries, Zhang Ping'an had considered changing the situation, but he quickly gave up.

Firstly, because such deeply ingrained things are too difficult to change; secondly, because he is a beneficiary of this system.

Zhang Yicai stood up as he spoke, and said to Old Wang and the others, "You guys are very powerful. I underestimated you Otherworlder."

But that's alright, there's always tomorrow, we'll meet again someday!

His words stunned everyone, and by the time they tried to stop him, it was too late.

He used some unknown means to Ignore the Handcuffs, summoned his Mecha, and vanished without a trace before everyone's eyes.

"Is this Spatial Shift?"

How did he do that?

"How old is he to have already Legendary Level Four?"

The Zhang Family was completely enraged when they saw this scene; Zhang Yicai truly shattered their worldview.

Zhang Yicai and the others knew that this person was not even 30 years old this year, so how could he have already reached the Legendary Level Four?

You Legendary Level Four, why didn't you say so earlier! What difference does it make if the Zhang Family has one more head of household?

The Zhang Family was filled with regret. They even blamed Old Wang and the others, because it was they who caused the Zhang Family to lose a genius.

But Old Wang and the others were also bewildered; how could their mission have taken another unexpected turn?

However, things became much simpler afterward, because the list given to them by the Zhang Family member and most of what he said were true.

Although he is an outstanding actor, he wouldn't dare to completely fake it when facing real-world masters.

He didn't even dare to tell many lies; to ensure that no one would suspect anything, at least 90% of what he said had to be true.

"Should we help you arrest this person from your Zhang Family, or should you issue a warrant for his arrest yourself? We still need to check with Xun Min!" Old Wang said.

There was no need for the Zhang Family to stay any longer; they no longer had any valuable clues left.

As long as we follow the trail of these family members, none of the people involved in this case will escape.

"No need for you to worry, we will apprehend him," Zhang Pingchuan.

"Alright! Then I'll take the rest of the group and head out first!" Old Wang.

"We'll bring these people to trial ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it!" the Zhang Family's Guard Unit said as they stepped forward.

Old Wang didn't speak, but looked at Zhang Ping'an.

"Let them take them away. You send some people to protect them. After they have confessed everything, you can then send them to trial."

There's no need to try to reduce their sentences or anything like that; let them execute the court's judgment.

"Dare to touch anything on the Outpost Star? Don't you know that anything related to the Mutant Insect is taboo for humans?"

Zhang Ping'an said, "It seems he's prepared to sacrifice his own family for the greater good."

Since he had spoken, the rest of the Zhang Family had nothing more to say. Old Wang and the others led these people, along with some of the people they had identified, to the Homeworld Base.

Just as Old Wang and the others had predicted, these people took turns biting one another and quickly exposed everyone.

This arrest involved over a thousand people, the highest-ranking of whom was a Lieutenant General.

But more than 50 billion yuan was recovered, which shows how much Zhang Yicai embezzled.

The Zhang Family had the most involvement in this incident; seven out of the more than one thousand prisoners were from the Zhang Family.

Then, surprisingly, the Radical Faction made up two layers, followed by the Xun Min who only made up one layer.

However, the people who suffered the most were indeed the Xun Min. The Xun Family was not a giant family to begin with; they were a newly established family and did not have as many people Zhang Family.

Moreover, those who fell during this Xun Family were all pillars of the nation, including three General-Rank Officer.

The Radical Faction and Zhang Ping'an's faction lost their reputation, but the Xun Min forces lost their true core strength.

To Old Wang's surprise, not a single person from General Zhang's neutral faction participated.

"That's normal! Although Zhang Yi has great ambitions, he is also a Neutral Faction party."

"Anyone who is Neutral Faction would not do something that harms the interests of the Human Race!" Old Luo said to Old Wang.

"Is that so? I didn't expect him to still have a bottom line?" Old Wang.

That's why I've never believed he did those things, but...

Let's not talk about those things now; they're a bit too early for you. You did a good job this time.

"Those people you recommended can keep their current Position or even get promoted without any problem, and your rewards have been paid. It's just that there are some issues with the establishment of the Fifth Legion!" Old Luo.

"What's the problem?" Old Wang asked, puzzled.

"Some people are afraid that you are too strong and they cannot control you, so they strongly oppose your establishment of the Fifth Legion."

To be honest, if I hadn't known some things, I wouldn't have agreed to you forming the Fifth Legion.

"Your potential is too great; your immortality makes you almost fearless!" Old Luo exclaimed.

"Well..."

"Haha, don't worry, there will still be opportunities, but you'll need to work hard yourself," Old Luo.

"What opportunity?"

"Three days later, after this case is settled, there will be a special meeting to study the Fifth Legion. They will invite you, the only General-Rank Officer among the Otherworlder, to attend."

That will be your test. If you succeed, you will become the Legion Commander of the Fifth Legion; if you fail, the Fifth Legion plan will be indefinitely shelved.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it'll all depend on you then!" Old Luo said to Old Wang.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang was at a loss for words; this matter had indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

He really doesn't want to let others down; to put it bluntly, he's a bit of a saint, but thankfully it's not serious.

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. You have a great chance. Here's your reward, okay? I'm going back now," said Old Luo.

Goodbye, Master!
