Apocalypse Forecast Chapter 925 - 736: Choices

Not going, goodbye, farewell.

Huai Shi instinctively wanted to get up and leave.

However, since he was still in the Tobio Family, under the gaze of everyone, Huai Shi had no choice but to walk over coldly and scold: "Keep it down, shouting like that, have so decorum."

"Oh dear, I’m just excited." Miss Lihua’s cheeks blushed, shyly lowering her head.

Watching Huai Zhisu publicly reprimand the darling of the Tobio Family as if she were his subordinate, he astonished many, especially Lawrence, who was dumbfounded and nearly burned his hand with his cigarette.

At this mont, the Arican wanderer keenly felt the inequality between people, and the expansive path of the Cowherd...

How many days has it been?

First day eting, second day in a small room, by the third day sticking together like glue?

How did you accomplish this?

anwhile, others observed more closely; after Huai Zhisu sat down, he maintained a cold deanor throughout while Miss Lihua poured tea, cared, and sympathized, yet he never showed a pleasant face. Instead, he barked orders at Miss Lihua like she was a servant.

That’s too much!

And Huai Shi’s eyes were almost rolling into the sky.

"Did you miss ?"

Lihua asked softly from beside.

Huai Shi squeezed out words through gritted teeth, "I wish you were dead."

"Can’t you wish sothing good for ?"

"Can you stop all this nonsense?"

Huai Shi lowered his voice: "Ignoring a real lady and harboring you, this damned brat, if you don’t repay , at least improve my reputation a bit?"

"Just considering for you, lest others say you hooked up with the Deer’s Sing Hall lady and forgot Lihua by the Bright Moon Lake." Dongli said softly while raising a fan to cover his mouth: "Even Old Man Tobio needs face, and I sacrifice my charm to support you."

"Please bring a real one, thanks." Huai Shi kept his gaze straight ahead, unwilling to argue: "Speak up if there’s anything, any news on God City Future’s whereabouts?"

"After a day of work, found a few clone production chambers but not the main body, the guy is hidden well. But we destroyed a laboratory and found sothing you can take back as a report."

Under the table, Dongli passed over a bottle, empty except for two capsule pills inside.

Huai Shi stealthily shook it without opening, and slipped it into his pocket.

"Is this the legendary ’All Spirits Drug’?"

"Main ingredients are flour, vitamins, and a bit of thamphetamine... Taking it does make one feel better, but once the effects wear off, it’s gone. It’s just a placebo for fooling people."

"Are you implying God City Future infiltrated the Tanbo Inner Circle just to make fake drugs?"

"Who knows? Caught a few loyal followers, those guys firmly believe God City Future can cure them — people in advanced complications will believe whatever to survive. Can’t rule out that the guy might have done sothing using Hell’s power..."

Dongli cautioned: "He rembered you last ti, so stay vigilant."

Huai Shi frowned: "You reloaded so many tis and still can’t find his hideout?"

Visibly, Dongli’s smile froze for a mont, glancing back at him, puzzled.

"What’s wrong?" Huai Shi asked.

"No, just surprised," Dongli said: "You seem to always guess right, if we weren’t acquaintances, I’d suspect you have connections with Jurisdiction Bureau’s higher-ups..."

"Don’t digress."

"..." Dongli suddenly felt a strong urge to roll his eyes: "Reloading also has limits, if Rainbow Bridge was truly omnipotent, would Current Circumstances remain like this? Plus, as a retired guard, relying on one-sided resonance doesn’t allow to jump far."

Huai Shi initially felt puzzled, but imdiately detected the implication in his words, becoming serious: "You an God City Future even has asures against Rainbow Bridge?"

"Hence, be vigilant." Dongli explained: "The so-called conspiracy tends to leave traces. But if you go along with it, finding clues becos troubleso...

It’s not that God City Future wanted to incite a riot, rather it’s the inevitable result of prolonged brewing; haven’t you noticed that Tanbo Inner Circle’s gunpowder scent is getting stronger over the past two days?"

Huai Shi stayed silent.

Uncontrolled destruction, daring cris, and desperate struggles... not to ntion private brawls and drunken disputes among the Extre Path.

In just a few days, Huai Shi nearly got numb to this information.

He hasn’t lived in the Tanbo Inner Circle before, unaware if such a situation is normal, but even under the heavy suppression of the Extre Path, the Tanbo Inner Circle’s unresting undercurrents can’t be eased.

Like a powder keg beneath.

A spark, two sparks won’t ignite, but what if it’s a hundred or a thousand?

Once the order collapses, all it takes is a little agitation in the dark, and a bloody riot is likely to erupt. Without the constraints of rules, moral boundaries beco flimsy in the face of instincts. Under the catalysts of frenzy, anger, pain, and fear, everything fragile in front of us will eventually fall apart.

To solve this, we must act decisively...

"Things shouldn’t have ended up like this."

Liu DongLi said softly, "Our ti is running out, Huai Shi."

"I know."

Huai Shi held the teacup and drained the bland tea.

He lifted his head, looking towards the top position.

As the banquet reached its peak, President Tobio finally put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands, the crisp sound spreading out.

In an instant, the previously fragnted noise vanished completely.

Everyone stopped their movents, hastily wiping their mouths, straightening their collars, and listening for instructions.

"Relax a bit, everyone doesn’t need to be so serious."

Tobio waved his hand, casually saying, "Besides having a al to connect with each other, the main reason for gathering everyone today is to talk about what happened this afternoon..."

For a mont, everyone instinctively looked towards where Huai Shi was seated.

It’s here, it’s here, the real drama is here!

The eagerly anticipated disciplinary segnt by the public is here!

But Tobio suddenly changed his tone, saying with sentint, "Just like everyone knew, a friction that no one expected happened, and eventually resulted in both sides getting hurt. Hurt feelings are secondary, but who doesn’t understand the preciousness of life?

I understand everyone’s days have been tough lately, and I’m not planning to be overly harsh."

No, no, no, feel free to be harsh, better be a little harsher!

In that mont, those sitting below waiting for Huai Shi’s misfortune were anxious, eager to jump forward and substitute the Alliance to take out Tobio and this bastard.

But then, Tobio’s tone shifted: "However, though the incident has passed, it doesn’t an the Alliance will tolerate such things happening repeatedly, the problem must be solved from the root."

With several twists and turns, when no one could figure out what kind of dicine this old man had in his gourd, Tobio finally said with a painful expression: "As the President of the Alliance, witnessing such disputes pains greatly to see and feel.

But ultimately, we can’t bla everyone, it’s still nowadays economic depression, even the Extre Path is struggling to survive... People need to eat to live. But even though this old man hosts everyone for banquets every day, how many people can it support?"

Old people love to ramble.

Once he started babbling, he couldn’t stop, from the economy to comrce, then from the youth to the declining birthrate, and finally a wave of criticism on the incompetent Pri Minister and Cabinet later, Tobio finally moved to the main topic:

"As it’s said, giving a person a fish is not as good as teaching them how to fish, after discussing with other heads, I’ve decided to bring out the industries that were originally not allocated from the Hisashiga House, and each family will also give up parts of their territory and interests... Ultimately, combined together, it’s all before you."

In the midst of a sudden uproar, a large map and chart slowly unfolded behind Tobio. After countless assets piled together, it almost emitted a blinding light that dazzled the eyes.

Thirty-one pachinko parlors, over twenty custom shops, nine theaters, two entertainnt agencies, eleven casinos, four construction companies, nineteen factories, four cinemas, storefronts on twelve streets...

Bars, nightclubs, hotels, investnt companies, temples, docks, frozen goods, breweries, clothing, real estate, film and television, entertainnt, electronics... almost everything is included!

Almost all of the industries that originally belonged to the Hisashiga House have been placed on this list, in addition to so large chunks leaked out by slightly loosening the fingers from other four big bosses.

Ultimately, it gathered into a jackpot that dazzled every gambler.

"I know, so people feel that we old folks are eating from the bowl and still occupying the pot, taking over their earning paths. Always thinking we are too miserly and stingy, unable to share so broth."

Tobio raised his eyes, indifferently saying: "Don’t bla the soup being thin anymore, everyone. Are you those useless mbers in the Parliant who compete on who can yell the loudest every day?

Since you’re in the Extre Path, if you want sothing, then take it yourself!

Now, I am putting the opportunity in front of you, how much you can get depends on your own abilities!"

"You want opportunities, I’ve given them, according to the Alliance’s rules, you can freely gamble and fight. Within three days, whatever you can handle will belong to you!"

In the dead silence, everyone stared blankly at that chart, breathing heavily, dryly pursing their lips, their eyes reddened, but no one dared to speak.

Tobio looked down at those blank faces, raising his eyebrows: "What’s the matter? Each one of you, not saying anything? Is there so humility now?

This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity, everything is laid before you, is there nothing you want to say?"

He paused for a mont, glanced at the crowd below, casually asked: "Huaizhi-kun, is there anywhere you have your eyes on? Tell everyone, maybe they might just let you have it."

"Huh? ?"

Huai Shi froze for a mont, raised his head to look at the map and chart above, then replied to Old Man Tobio with a jest: "Really just casually choose?"

Tobio shook his head: "Nonsense, why would I deliberately tease you with such a matter?"

"No, what I an is, since everything looks good, why choose?"

Huai Shi suddenly laughed, seriously asked:

"Why not have it all?"
