I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 243: Chapter 224: Why Did It Turn Out Like This? How Did They Do It?

「Tianzhou City.」

Master Kai woke up early and immediately pulled out his phone to check the news about the Xuanfeng Alliance.

The Xuanfeng Alliance had become too famous on the international stage recently, and the economic crisis had made it the center of attention.

When a financial predator like Aubens suddenly targeted the Xuanfeng Alliance, you had to pay attention. Everyone knew Aubens’s true target couldn’t possibly be just the Xuanfeng Alliance.

A predator of that caliber wouldn’t have such a small appetite.

Therefore, the Xuanfeng Alliance was just a warm-up for Aubens, a way to build momentum.

Master Kai thought so too.

But when he saw the latest news about the Xuanfeng Alliance, he was stunned.

"Xuanfeng Alliance Economy Stabilized, New Currency Value Doubles! Aubens Currently Unresponsive, Seemingly in Retreat!"

Master Kai shook his head as soon as he saw the headline.

’Aubens in retreat?’

’Impossible.’

A predator like him would never give up until he achieved his goal. Besides, there was no reason for him to retreat when facing the Xuanfeng Alliance.

’But what’s with this news?’

The Xuanfeng Alliance’s economy had stabilized.

Stabilization was one thing, but for the Xuanfeng Alliance to aim to appreciate its currency was pure fantasy.

Master Kai knew full well that this would require them to swallow all of Aubens’s capital.

That was why no one had been optimistic about the Xuanfeng Alliance’s chances.

From the moment they’d had that ambition, it meant a fight to the death. Aubens would never leave them any room to maneuver.

But now the Xuanfeng Alliance’s economy *had* stabilized, and Aubens *wasn’t* reacting. What was he doing?

"Huh? What’s this...?" Master Kai’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at a video clip.

A figure had appeared on the screen, someone he never expected to see.

The person was standing in front of a bank, dressed in a local police uniform with a fairly high-ranking insignia.

’But this person looks like...’

He scrubbed back the video to get a better look at the figure. When he saw the person’s face clearly, he shot to his feet and exclaimed in shock, "Are you kidding me?"

’Damn it, isn’t that Chen Bo, President Lu’s guy?’

’Is this some kind of joke?’

Then, his eyes flew wide open, filled with utter disbelief.

’President Lu and his people seemed to have left Tianzhou City and gone abroad.’

’And now Chen Bo shows up in the Xuanfeng Alliance, dressed like that...’

’Feng?’

’Lu Feng?’

’Xuanfeng Alliance?’

’Is there a connection?’

Then, Master Kai recalled how he had met President Lu in the first place: the gold business.

The man had produced a ton of gold right off the bat.

He had seemed extraordinary from the very beginning, which was why Master Kai had later sought to build a relationship with him.

He then thought about the hundreds of tons of gold the Xuanfeng Alliance had produced.

"My God! Could my guess be right?" Master Kai exclaimed, his composure completely shattered.

If it was true, then this President Lu was terrifying. For people like them, he was downright horrifying, wasn’t he?

He quickly replayed the video, needing to confirm once more if that figure was really Chen Bo.

It wasn’t just Master Kai; many people on the international stage also found it unbelievable.

In the Beautiful Country, several figures sat in a luxurious conference room, their expressions grim.

"What’s going on? Why has Aubens gone silent?"

"He was on the verge of crushing the Xuanfeng Alliance. Why did he suddenly stop?"

"What on earth is Mr. Aubens doing?"

"..."

It was clear from their conversation that these people were part of Aubens Capital’s network of investors who had provided him with funds.

They had been closely monitoring the situation with the Xuanfeng Alliance. Aubens’s short-selling data had been streaming in, so they knew that even if this was just a warm-up, they stood to gain a considerable profit.

But now, Aubens had allowed the Xuanfeng Alliance to stabilize its economy, and its currency had even doubled in value.

They naturally understood what this implied, which was why no one looked happy.

They had been trying frantically to contact Aubens, but to no avail, which gave them a sudden, bad feeling.

But they refused to believe it. After all, what could possibly go wrong when dealing with the insignificant Xuanfeng Alliance?

While they were shifting anxiously in their seats, someone burst into the room in a panic. "This is bad! This is really bad!"

"What’s bad?" a middle-aged, blond white man snapped.

The man said frantically, "Mr. Doug, something terrible has happened! The traders Mr. Aubens hired have all fled back. They’re saying all of Aubens’s capital is trapped by the Xuanfeng Alliance, and now Mr. Aubens himself has been captured by them!"

The news struck them like a bolt of lightning.

CRASH!~

CRASH!~

The sound of two glasses shattering in quick succession echoed through the room.

Upon hearing the news, two people’s hands had trembled, causing them to lose their grip and drop their glasses to the floor.

Immediately after, the color drained from their faces.

They had entrusted vast sums to Aubens. With this development, didn’t it mean their money was gone for good?

"Is what you’re saying true?" The middle-aged blond man’s face contorted into a savage snarl.

Aside from Aubens himself, he had invested the most capital in this operation. And now he was being told it was all down the drain?

The person reporting stammered, "I-it’s true. All the traders came back saying the same thing. They also said Mr. Aubens was betrayed, that the Xuanfeng Alliance paid two tons of gold to find out his location..."

"Damn it! Why did this happen? It’s just the Xuanfeng Alliance! How could this be?" the middle-aged blond man roared as if he’d gone mad.

The others also erupted in furious curses.

"Damn that Aubens! He’s ruined us!"

"What about the big move Aubens was talking about? Why did he fail right at the start?"

"How could he possibly fail against a place like the Xuanfeng Alliance?"

"..."

Soon, the news that Aubens Capital’s funds were trapped and irretrievable, and that Aubens himself had been captured, spread rapidly across the international community.

The news made everyone’s jaws drop.

He was a financial predator, targeting the insignificant Xuanfeng Alliance. How could this have happened?

Moreover, those with inside information were even more stunned. They knew Aubens had been planning a major, large-scale operation.

This predator was taken out by the tiny Xuanfeng Alliance right at the beginning? And the part about Aubens’s location being sold for two tons of gold had such a comedic effect that not even movies would dare use such a plot, for fear of being accused of insulting the audience’s intelligence.

But for it to happen in reality felt like something out of a dream.

Naturally, the news quickly reached back home.

When Master Kai saw this news, his eyes widened. "This President Lu is terrifying!"

’Two tons of gold to buy a location.’

’Since when was gold used like this?’

’But with two tons of gold sitting in front of you, the temptation would be hard to resist.’

Aubens’s capture naturally made many people anxious. After all, he had other powerful forces backing him, held vast assets under his name, and was privy to many financial secrets.

Therefore, those forces began to make their moves, wanting to get Aubens back.

「A short time later.」

「Xuanfeng Alliance.」

Lu Feng now had his own Governor’s Mansion (I have to use this term, please understand my predicament) and a massive office.

Outside the office was a meeting room with a long conference table.

Feisen, Bulin, Baguda, Dali... all sat at the conference table.

Baguda and Dali still wore electronic collars around their necks, but they now looked at Lu Feng with utmost respect.

This time, the two of them were completely convinced of his capabilities.

Moreover, with the public’s wealth having doubled, the people had come to accept their identity as members of the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Under the current circumstances, even if someone wanted to leave the Xuanfeng Alliance, the people themselves wouldn’t allow it!

They were genuinely people who served the public, which was why Lu Feng was willing to use them, especially Baguda.

Lu Feng had given him full authority over all matters, large and small, within the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Baguda reported, "Governor, I have something to report. The Beautiful Country is pressuring us. They say that without conclusive evidence, we have no right to detain Aubens, and they are demanding his release."

These words made Feisen, Dali, and the others frown.

This was the Beautiful Country, after all.

Hearing this, Lu Feng snorted coldly. "No conclusive evidence? Then give them conclusive evidence. What a joke!"

Almost at the exact moment Lu Feng spoke, Xiaozhi, inside the holographic computer on his wrist, had already begun to act.

Shortly after, a series of shocking news items began to appear on the internet in various Western countries!

As soon as this information was released, every person of influence broke out in a cold sweat!

’Who on earth could do something like this?’

The news was all evidence against Aubens. And it wasn’t just evidence; even phone calls between Aubens and his mistress were released, including every single utterance of "baby."

Even messages Aubens had sent to some of his financial backers were published.

Even digital contracts signed by Aubens, along with the purpose of various financial transactions, were all laid out in meticulous detail.

It was as if someone had been shadowing Aubens at all times, meticulously recording his every move.

It was safe to say that Aubens had been completely stripped bare.

Even Aubens himself would be scared witless if he saw all this. The videos, call logs, messages—he probably didn’t even remember half of it!

But now, it was all being exposed, one piece at a time!

Evidence?

Would this count as conclusive evidence now?

Could there be any evidence more conclusive than this?

For a time, the people in the Beautiful Country went completely quiet. Aubens had been stripped down to his underwear; what more could they say?

They had been checkmated.

If they continued to forcefully demand Aubens’s release, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble. The Beautiful Country had to consider if it was worth it.

And apparently, the people in the Beautiful Country decided it wasn’t worth it. Besides, Aubens still had a family!

And so, Aubens sacrificed himself to bring the Xuanfeng Alliance to a state of complete success.

In that moment, the Xuanfeng Alliance had truly captured the attention of nations worldwide.

After the latest update to the world map, the Xuanfeng Alliance had even appeared on it.

This was incredible. After all, how long had the Xuanfeng Alliance even existed?

Just then, the Xuanfeng Alliance released another international press statement, which instantly drew the attention—and shock—of countless people!
