I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 549 The bullet from the past hit him right between the eyebrows (46)

Slumped in his chair, Cao Zhen heard a constant buzzing in his ears.

His Dao heart was shattering, his inner demons were growing, and endless illusions appeared in his mind, turning his hair white in an instant, and then red with the blood that spurted out.

The Inspector General of Wangsheng Prefecture looked at Cao Zhen with pity and comforted him kindly, saying, "Cao Zhen, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. Don't be like this."

"Then what should I do?"

Leaning back in his chair, Cao Zhen twitched like rotten flesh, then suddenly chuckled.

Like a puppet that had been manipulated to pieces, Cao Zhen struggled to her feet, looked at Chen Yu, and said with a smile, "Chen Yu, you're very good! You're really good!"

"As expected of the incarnation of a future star lord, he is truly terrifying!"

"You incite the residents of Tianyuan to create dreams for you, harming all living beings, while you remain behind the scenes, your hands spotless."

"You instigated the cultivators in the clouds to bear the blame for your piracy, while you reaped the benefits without ever getting away with it."

“You attacked Tianmu, you disregarded human life, and then you withdrew from the scene unscathed.”

"Now, you've used me to stab the Calamity Response Department in the back, but all the causes and effects are on me, while you remain untouched and untainted."

"What a brilliant incarnation of a future star lord! What a cunning Chen Yu! He has meticulously planned the entire world, yet you remain completely unscathed!"

The scales began to rise slightly, indicating that some Star Lords were still questioning Chen Yu's identity.

The incarnation of the future Star Lord is too sensitive, and many Star Lords are still worried about the possibility of the future Star Lord being resurrected, so they are quite wary.

However, Chen Yu simply looked at the other person and said, "Let's put aside the accusations you've made against me. The key issue now is that you bullied me first. If it weren't for your greed, would any of this have happened?"

"I... quack!"

Until his heartfelt answer caused Cao Zhen to spit out a mouthful of blood, the scales were then firmly welded to 10:0.

Looking at Cao Zhen, who was vomiting blood, the monk said helplessly, "One thought can make you a Buddha, and another can make you a demon. Cao Zhen, you've become attached to appearances."

He then cupped his hands to Chen Yu and said, "Benefactor Chen, this time it was the fault of the Disaster Response Department. We will negotiate a solution regarding compensation later."

Chen Yu waved his hand, then said to Dao Lingyun, "Junior Sister, I'll trouble you with the relevant issues."

"Don't worry, I have a secret weapon."

Dao Lingyun, who had turned the tide of battle, looked at Chen Yu with admiration. Her heart was pounding so fast that even Teacher Zhao, who was standing next to her, was greatly surprised and remarked that this was a promising talent for learning systematic combat techniques.

Standing up, Dao Lingyun pointed at her mother opposite her and said, "Mother, if you lose, you have to come and do the work!"

"Ok."

Dao Lingyun's mother sighed helplessly, then walked over barefoot, carrying her high heels, and lazily said to Chen Yu, "Dao Changhong, Dao Lingyun's mother."

"Um... Hello, Auntie. But aren't you from Cao Zhen's side?"

Although Dao Changhong is very similar to Dao Lingyun, their temperaments are completely different.

When she's not in court, she's like a big cat, lazily yawning and then sprawling on the table, saying, "Money is life, money is life. Anyway, I've already warned him; if he loses, it's his own problem. Give me 30 million in legal fees, and I guarantee I'll knock 300 million out of you."

Chen Yu's eyes lit up, and he was about to agree when he saw Dao Lingyun pat his mother on the back and say softly, "Mother, don't you know the rules of the house?"

"...I'll help you for free this time, but next time I'll have to charge you. Hey, temple keeper over there, let's discuss compensation."

With the problem solved, Chen Yu finally brought this lawsuit to a close. Xingjun's gaze had disappeared; this costly lawsuit had finally come to an end, and it was time for the winner to take all.

Chen Yu glanced at Cao Zhen, who was still coughing up blood, shook his head, then took out his phone and called the bandaged man.

After the call connected, he immediately asked, "Bandaged Man, what's this about piracy you're talking about?"

"Didn't you hint at it to me?" the bandaged man asked, puzzled.

"When did I say that?"

"Didn't you tell Luo Tong that you wanted to launch the project as soon as possible, and then leave me 300 million to figure out how to spend it? Your hints are so obvious, it would be strange if I didn't guess it."

After a pause, the bandaged man said excitedly, "You called me now, which means the situation is out, right? So, did you win?"

"Yes, we won. A resounding victory."

"That's great. I bet on you to win big this time. Together with the money Luo Tong gave me before, we now have about five billion. What are your plans?"

Chen Yu felt a sweet taste in his chest and almost vomited blood.

Clutching his chest, he slowly sat down against the wall and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get fifty billion?"

"I bet on you on the website of the Star Lord of Encounters and won big. It's a pity that the odds were 1:6 at the beginning, but your performance in Tianmu was so outstanding that they dropped to 1:5. I bet all of my 200 million, plus the 800 million provided by Luo Tong, and that's all I have in the end."

Chen Yu took a deep breath, then exhaled, then took another deep breath, and then exhaled again.

After repeating this several times, he felt the tightness in his chest ease somewhat.

Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, he upgraded the bandaged man's name from Category C to Category A.

He had finally managed to recruit several thousand cultivators, each earning a monthly salary of five thousand. Combined with Tianyuan's labor costs, this allowed him to spend around eighty million in cash each month, roughly equal to the monthly loan repayments.

I thought I had found a way to continue spending positive emotions, but I didn't expect you guys to make so much money again?

Is money really that easy to make these days?!
"Wait, with so much money, would the Star Lord of Serendipity be willing to give it?"

"He's willing. The casino isn't afraid of you making money, it's afraid of you not coming. But it's best to quit while you're ahead, since nine out of ten gamblers lose. Don't rely too much on this kind of thing in the future. I only did this because I trusted Mr. Chen, and I won't do it again next time."

"That's good. Just don't do that again next time."

After emphasizing that there should be no next time, Chen Yu was about to hang up the phone when he saw his positive emotions begin to surge at an incredible speed.

Staring at the seemingly unstoppable positive emotions, Chen Yu picked up the phone and said to the bandaged man, "Tell me, when did you release the pirated version?"

"About four or five days ago. Don't worry, I followed your instructions exactly. When players enter, they will find 'The Path of Mortals' without any mistakes."

"Then tell me again, who were involved in this version?"

"There are many more. Luo Tong, Glasses, Jiang Qiao, Xu Youran, Feng Le, and Lin Jiashu all went. Oh, and Lian Qu also participated. The colors and lines of those squares were truly irresistible."

"Four days... Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu sat in the corner, watching his positive emotions surge, knowing that it was no use asking anyone at home to help.

All the arrangements he had made before finally turned into a bullet, hitting him right between the eyebrows.
