Victory Decided

"They'd been played."

By the time Baisha City police arrived at the scene, Teacher Black had already gone mad, while Jackal remained unconscious.

Black Demon was fierce, and even after emptying his gun, he had tried to engage Agumon in close combat.

But how could Liang Xing possibly give him that chance?

As long as Black Demon dared get close, Liang Xing had Agumon blast him.

He had never experienced the power of the small fireballs, but the power of Agumon's headbutts was no weaker in the slightest!

Mercenaries were all too familiar with that incomprehensible sense of exhaustion!

—They often felt it during training in the past.

Once he had reservations, he could neither hit them nor escape. By the time the police arrived, Black Demon could only surrender.

In truth, he might have been able to take someone down with him in a last-ditch struggle, but there was no point.

Attempted armed murder was not a death sentence. There was no need to charge headlong toward mutual destruction.

Even if he had to work, he could just treat it as a vacation.

The Baisha City police later informed Liang Xing of the three men's identities, but no one had yet revealed who was behind them.

The three had acted on their own, and their organization had failed to supervise them properly. It expressed its apologies to Huaxia's authorities.

They spouted a whole lot of nonsense, but the meaning between the lines was that their actions had nothing to do with Wolf Pack.

Liang Xing did not look further into the details. When Su Mei told him their identities, she merely mentioned a few extra things in passing.

Liang Xing actually knew who was behind it.

They could not compete with GD Racers in the market.

And the Mini 4WD they had developed by imitating the GD Chip was simply incomparable to GD Racers.

There were only a few people who wanted Liang Xing dead.

In fact, he had never intended to monopolize the Mini Four-Wheel Drive Car market.

Liang Xing had far too many ideas he wanted to realize!

He was already satisfied with GD Racers controlling the high-end Mini Four-Wheel Drive Car market.

But while you might be satisfied, others were not.

The Mini Four-Wheel Drive Car market pie was only so large. If you ate more, others ate less.

Liang Xing had already forgiven them once. During the attack on the official website, he had merely punished the hackers and had not settled accounts with the masterminds behind them.

And now they actually dared challenge him offline?

Then Liang Xing had to make a statement somehow!

Otherwise, with so many ideas of his, he was bound to affect other people's interests again.

If everyone came looking to challenge him offline, wouldn't that waste far too much time?

So he had specifically spent several days designing a simplified GD Chip, aimed at the imitation chip used in Mini 4WD.

GD Chip production capacity was currently insufficient anyway, and Liang Xing truly needed a high-volume replacement.

The simplified GD Chip did not have many functions. Its main purpose was to let drivers who could not buy GD Racers get used to voice control in advance.

Without the massive data required for self-adaptation, the simplified GD Chip production line was especially simple. Output increased sharply, while prices fell drastically.

If it was not for racing and one merely wanted something to play with to pass the time, the simplified GD Racers were more than enough.

Island Nation, Mini 4WD headquarters.

"President Miyatashi, what is your solution?"

The decision to target Liang Xing had clearly been discussed and agreed upon by everyone, yet now they all turned their spears on President Miyatashi Teru.

After taking all the shares Yūjirō had surrendered when he left the company, he had become the company's largest shareholder in one leap.

He had once been full of ambition, dreaming of using Liang Xing Toys Factory as a stepping stone to solidify his position as president.

But Liang Xing's release of the simplified GD Racers had directly caused Mini 4WD to nearly withdraw from the Huaxia market.

The cheapest Mini 4WD model their company sold cost 128, while Liang Xing's simplified GD Racers also sold for 128—and at half price on the first day.

How could they fail to understand Liang Xing's message?

He was clearly targeting them!

"This was an error in my decision-making. I... will relinquish my position as president and no longer interfere with company decisions."

Miyatashi Teru did not argue, nor did he dare to.

His net worth had evaporated by nearly 10 percent over the past few days. With the stock price still showing no sign of stopping its decline, he did not dare remain stubborn.

"Then we'll give up the Huaxia market for Mini 4WD and focus on overseas markets? Let's put it to a vote."

Past allies were a joke in the face of such losses. Miyatashi Teru abstained, already beginning to consider an exit strategy.

Although Mini 4WD was not the company's only product, he had to admit that it was indeed the company's most valuable IP and, comparatively speaking, its most profitable one.

Liang Xing's attack had truly struck right at its weak point.

It hurt like hell!

Only now did Miyatashi Teru understand that sometimes, gaps in technology could not be bridged by any means.

He simply could not understand it. Was Huaxia really that terrifying?

Although they had not used Wolf Pack's name, anyone with connections knew that Wolf Pack did offer such services.

And this was the result?

It was utterly ridiculous!

"I would like to go to Huaxia for an inspection."

While the others were still discussing candidates for the new president, Miyatashi Teru had no reason to remain. He directly interrupted their discussion.

"Taking a break would be good too."

Naturally, those who responded hoped Miyatashi Teru would not meddle in the choice of the new president. Those who did not respond simply ignored him outright.

He walked out of the company alone in desolation. After pausing for a moment, he headed toward Yūjirō's home.

The facts were already laid out before him, proving that Yūjirō's thinking at the time had been correct.

Miyatashi Teru hoped to discuss things with him, perhaps to vent the bitterness of leaving his position.

Liang Xing had no idea whether that blow had truly hurt them, but the stock price of that Island Nation company had indeed dropped significantly lately.

Never one to fear making trouble worse, he was still considering how to add another kick.

Unfortunately, limited production capacity made it rather unrealistic to keep pressing the attack.

In any case, Mini 4WD had become much less common in Huaxia recently.

Could he target the company's other products instead?

Liang Xing was magnanimous, so he would not hold it against them.

It would also give them time to establish themselves in overseas markets first. Once Liang Xing's production capacity exceeded demand, he could sweep into foreign markets in one stroke.

With the GD Chip's technological advantage, what gave them the right to compete with Liang Xing for market share?

They could not beat the simplified version on price, nor could they surpass the standard version in other aspects. Caught awkwardly in the middle, they were basically waiting to die.

From then on, unless they still dared court death by causing more trouble, Liang Xing could not be bothered with them.

They were merely tools for opening up markets. There would be plenty of chances to deal with them later.
