After Ou Chenyu's death, the biggest weight in Su Mo's heart was lifted. There was no longer a haunting threat pursuing him, and he could finally travel freely throughout the entire Dawn Realm according to his own wishes.
After returning from teor Canyon, Su Mo had the most peaceful sleep since he crossed over, and upon waking, he imdiately began planning a party.
The entire 80th floor of Edge Mansion was set up as a celebration venue, filled with delicious food, with everyone raising their glasses and drinking together. In groups of three or five, they gathered in various rooms to play video gas, board gas, partying wildly to release the tiredness accumulated over this period.
After the celebration, everyone returned to their usual life rhythm.
...
At noon, KK, who slept in, got up. After washing up, he grabbed so snacks and drinks and headed straight to the gaming room.
The ga he played was called "Deity: Genesis," a newly launched ga from Waku Waku Studio, created by Lu Ren.
"Deity: Genesis" beca a hit during its beta phase, and the improvents in the official release were even better than during the beta phase, unsurprisingly winning the "Ga of the Year" award. It's said that everyone at the studio achieved financial freedom because of it.
KK had been exploring the "Dogland Continent" in the ga these days, playing with no sense of ti, staying up all night.
By 4 PM, satisfied with his gaming session, he was ready to head to the finance room to work.
Just as he stepped out the door, he ran into Su Mo.
Su Mo glanced at the television screen that hadn't been turned off and asked, "Got up at noon and gad till now?"
KK: "Yeah."
Su Mo's face turned stern: "Where are you planning to go?"
KK: "To work."
Su Mo's tone beca quite displeased: "Do you know what ti it is now?"
KK: "4 PM."
Su Mo: "What did I tell you before?"
KK: "Uh..."
Su Mo glared and firmly said, "I'll reiterate it once more, you need to adhere to the 8-hour entertainnt rule at Edge. Every day, besides eating and sleeping, you must spend 8 hours having fun, or you're not allowed to work!"
"You got up at noon, played for only 4 hours, and you want to work? Did you forget what I said?"
KK scratched the back of his head, chuckling awkwardly: "Then... should I go for a sauna?"
Su Mo laughed as he pushed him towards the sauna room: "Go ahead, and after the sauna, maybe catch a movie. Thinking about work all the ti at your age will ruin you."
As the "top contributor" to taking down Ou Chenyu, KK was imdiately exonerated upon return.
Su Mo revealed all the previous plans to the rcenaries within the group, and everyone suddenly realized, goodness, he's an Oscar-worthy actor who even deceived his own people.
Besides restoring his reputation, KK received special treatnt unlike any other.
In short, the ssage was clear—play hard, forget about working, and the boss will take care of you for the rest of your life.
This kind of treatnt was unique in Edge.
KK was also the only person in Edge who didn't have to work and could completely take it easy.
What? Are you dissatisfied?
If you're dissatisfied, why not help the leader eliminate an enemy of Ou Chenyu's caliber? The leader will surely give you the sa treatnt.
Su Mo pushed KK into the sauna room, brought a basket of fruits to the downstairs office, and then opened the computer to watch the news replay.
"Let's catch up on the recent trending news; the shocking major gold heist at New Moon Comrcial Bank was officially solved yesterday."
"According to the Public Security Bureau spokesman, the security forces discovered the stolen gold in the Tiger Teeth Industrial Park. A small portion was secretly sold to the outskirts, but the rest was all recovered, maximizing the protection of citizens' assets."
"Ou Chenyu, founder of Tiger Industries, was identified as the principal offender in the heist. According to the spokesman, Ou Chenyu resisted fiercely during his arrest and was shot dead on the spot by security forces. All other accomplices have also been apprehended."
"Forr City Council mber and founder of the Libetong Foundation, Lucio, and inappropriate dealings with Matsuzo dical were ruled upon by the New Moon City court this morning."
"Lucio's malicious intent was deeply rooted, social impact detrintal, and cris extrely severe. The court sentenced him to life imprisonnt without parole or commutation and confiscated all his personal assets."
"Lucio's only daughter, Tareg, head of the Libetong Foundation departnt, was sentenced to 12 years for harboring cris, misusing charitable funds for personal gain, manipulating the investnt market, and other insider trading, without parole or commutation, confiscating 12.04 million in illicit gains, and a penalty of threefold fines."
Watching the news about Lucio and Tareg, Su Mo had only one thought: Serves them right.
He never considered himself a good person, and the Edge rcenary Corps' account had a lot of dirty money too.
Everyone was dirty, so no need to despise each other.
But filth has its limits; acting as parasites on a charity fund, exploiting public goodwill, and even sabotaging vulnerable groups is beyond filth.
The father and daughter should be grateful that the World Governnt's laws are lenient regarding economic cris, with life imprisonnt as the cap; otherwise, that old Lucio would surely be dead from a bullet.
Su Mo stopped paying attention to them, turned off the news, and opened the latest personnel roster of the Edge rcenary Corps.
After Ou Chenyu's death, the entire Tiger Fang rcenary Corps was raided by the Public Security Bureau, leading to its complete downfall.
The core mbers of the Tiger Teeth rcenaries, who were deeply entangled with Ou Chenyu, were none that Su Mo saved.
Considering the things they had done in the past, the Public Security Bureau could easily dig up several cases leading to death sentences or life imprisonnt.
But for those rcenaries who had no significant involvent with Ou Chenyu and were simply working at Tiger Fang, Su Mo spoke to Sikinkov, hoping the Public Security Bureau wouldn't dig too deep.
