Su Ping received Emperor Level resources from Mad Saint, who arrived unexpectedly. Mad Saint revealed Su Ping's new position in the Silver Order Department and explained the department's targets: Jianghai Province and Qilu Province. Both provinces have companies linked to the mysterious Heart of Gold organization, with Qilu Province's Shanhe Group and Jianghai Province's Fire King Company being prominent examples.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Although the Fire King Company in Linzhou is far less influential than the Dong Family’s Tianyun Group,

it is also considered a colossus due to its monopoly on fire-type pet beast resources.

It’s one of the notable enterprises in Jianghai Province.

The most important thing is, last year when he just graduated, he was even coaxed by Director Zhang to join the Fire King Company, just like his former class monitor Zhou Shuchen, to work hard for the Fire King Company.

Later, when Miss Qin’s father, Qin Chuan, got involved in that attack case, eventually, his company was divided between Pingyun and the Fire King Company, and he further came into contact with the Fire King Company.

That was concerning the ownership of the Victory Forest Farm.

Later, Su Ping moved all plant-based pet beasts from the Victory Forest Farm to his own Forest Heart.

Theoretically speaking, he did take advantage of the Fire King Company.

No, one could even say he scammed the Fire King Company out of a lot.

Because the Victory Forest Farm is in the western suburbs of Linzhou.

When Linzhou was planning to expand further, it aimed to expand towards the western suburbs.

Thus, when the news broke out, the land prices in the western suburbs had an inexplicable increase.

Later, due to his appearance, Linzhou changed its development policy and direction, deciding to expand eastwards, even aiming to fully connect to West Dragon Lake.

This resulted in the land value of the Victory Forest Farm dropping significantly, the Fire King Company lost a lot of money.

Of course, at that time, Su Ping was getting influential, and Dong Muyun was around, so even if the Fire King Company suffered silently, they dared not do anything.

However, in the past six months, the Fire King Company showed no signs of being greatly affected, and instead, after Pingyun launched several fire-type magic potions, the Fire King Company invested a lot, aiming to seize the market.

It clearly indicates the substantial financial backing behind the Fire King Company.

Unexpectedly, this was the reason behind it all.

Su Ping’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He actually didn’t have any dislike for the Fire King Company.

In fact, one of the shareholders of the Fire King Company, Xu Li, is quite familiar with him, often fishing at his place, sometimes joining in for fishing and such.

However, when it comes to high-level policy decisions like this, Su Ping didn’t know what the outcome of joining the Heart of Gold would be.

But since the higher-ups paid so much attention, it must be detrimental to the Dragon Nation, and at this point, Su Ping knew where he should stand.

Moreover, the breakup of many involved companies, in essence, was to ensure he and Pingyun could hold their ground and even progress further amid such turmoil.

The benefits would all be his; why hesitate?

Therefore, Su Ping looked at Wu Kuang:

"Senior, what are you planning to do?"

After all, for the legendary special operations task force, the special investigation team, it’s at least a group, usually ten or eight people, but judging from the current setup, it’s clear no one else is here, only the Mad Saint himself has come.

Su Ping really didn’t know what he planned to do.

Wu Kuang’s semi-mechanical, semi-human face remained calm, shrugging:

"Isn’t this simple? Among the determined companies, we directly separate the high-level personnel for interrogation. If they confess, they can be dealt with leniently. If their testimonies don’t match, we’ll perform a soul search.

Once confirmed, the authority granted me allows for immediate execution of those who dare to conceal or resist stubbornly, along with all their beastmasters and pet beasts, while involved companies will be disbanded.

If they show a repentant attitude, we can consider handling them leniently. If they’re willing, they can retain some assets, with a chance to rise again in the future.

But, if they’re unwilling, there’s nothing I can do."

Seeing Wu Kuang’s natural demeanor, Su Ping slightly hesitated. At that moment, he realized again that Blue Star is inherently such a world and society.

Not just in the Dragon Nation, in fact, the Dragon Nation is already considered ’good’.

An individual beastmaster’s strength is enough to dictate life or death without relying on power or wealth itself!

Not to mention, things like soul search, a tool extremely useful without the need for interrogation.

Killing, especially when there’s an exceedingly rightful reason, doesn’t seem like a magnificent act.

In fact, to put it hard, giving an awakening opportunity is, in some ways, generous enough.

Su Ping considered this and asked a somewhat redundant question:

"Senior, if you do this, will it cause them to flee with funds? Or take a large number of resources and funds to go elsewhere, away from the Dragon Nation?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuang revealed a sinister smile:

"Kid, not to mention whether they have the capability to actually pull that off in places where others have already divided the cake, to engage in what is essentially a venture without substantial intrinsic value, relying on early investment costs to establish a so-called presence locally.

Even if they have extraordinary abilities, even if they can really leave the Dragon Nation and stand firm in other countries with the help of the Heart of Gold, you must know, this act amounts to defection, and our country always has means in terms of assassination."

Upon hearing this, Su Ping’s eyelids twitched rapidly.

Between nations, in such colossus operations, there’s no right or wrong, only difference in standpoints.

Su Ping is not a naïve child over-pursuing right and wrong, he naturally understands this.

Realizing this, he has no more questions in his heart.

"If that’s the case, how do you plan to act? How do you want me to assist?"

"No rush yet, let my Xuan Ji first confirm the activity ranges of the company executives on these lists, their current location areas, once Xuan Ji completes the monitoring, we’ll be ready to act.

As for the first target, why not start with the Fire King Company you’re familiar with? How about it?"

Clearly, when asking his opinion, it was only out of courtesy.

Su Ping obviously wouldn’t meddle in such direct action plans.

Realizing this, he nodded:

"Whatever you decide is best. If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to approach me! By the way, if the workload is large, do you need me to find some out-of-office personnel in charge of confiscation and record-keeping?"

Upon hearing this, the Mad Saint chuckled:

"People, besides those who have truly reached a certain level like Su Ping yourself, the rest, I don’t really trust.

Even among some Spirit Saint Level beastmasters, who can say they have no private thoughts? In this matter, machines are far more reliable than humans!"

Su Ping’s eyebrows rose.

As one of the few specialized mechanical Spirit Saint Levels in the Dragon Nation, and also an early Spirit Saint Level senior, thinking like this is understandable.

Since that’s the case, Su Ping couldn’t be bothered to act sentimentally.

"By the way, Su Ping, I heard your mechanical pet beast evolved into an unprecedented form. Can you take me to witness it?"

Wu Kuang didn’t continue on this topic but shifted his focus to Feifei.

Of course, Su Ping was happy about this. Wu Kuang’s understanding of mechanical pet beasts far surpasses the norm, and any guidance on Feifei’s breeding would be beneficial.

Unfortunately, just as Su Ping and Wu Kuang were about to get up, a call came through at this time, altering their actions and even overturning Wu Kuang’s previous plans.

It was because the content of the call was something neither Su Ping nor Wu Kuang expected.

The caller was none other than Dong Muyun, whom this esteemed figure had just praised.

Dong Muyun’s words over the phone surprised Su Ping while also making Wu Kuang’s electronic eye to slightly chill.

"Su Ping, are you short on money recently? Just now, someone approached me, claiming he is a member of some special organization called the ’Golden Association.’

If Pingyun joins this so-called bonus club, he says he can lend 5 billion Dragon Country Currency cash flow without any cost or interest as a sign of sincerity to support new member development!"
