Super Island Tycoon
Chapter 1065 - 1064: Control
"I think it’s not what you imagine, old friend," his good friend analyzed, "I can see that though their relationship is not very close, it’s not as if they are enemies."
"Oh?" The leader raised his head, filled with hope, "Is it really like you say?"
"You better believe it’s just as I said," the top leader sighed, "calm down, they are about to come in."
Indeed, after just a few seconds, Jiang Cheng and his group walked into the leader’s office.
"Welcome, welcome, friends from the Extraterrestrial Planet, welcome back to Delmar’s leader mansion," the leader shifted his gaze to the Shorty standing next to Jiang Cheng, "Oh, my friend, seeing you’re alright reassures me."
Shorty snorted, his old hiding spot was so secretive, only a handful of people knew the exact location.
But just as he arrived there, these three from the Extraterrestrial Planet arrived right after him. If no one had told them his exact location, that would be strange.
It’s betrayal! Bare betrayal!
They had just formed an alliance not long ago, but merely a few days later, his allies had sold him out.
Ha, such allies, Shorty coldly laughed in his heart, not even worth keeping. If his ally wasn’t the leader and his superior, he would surely have exploded on the spot.
However, those he wanted to lash out against are in positions higher than his own. If he shows anger towards them, causing them to lose face, the repercussions would spread negatively, especially since today isn’t a holiday and all the staff are present.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
With Shorty’s vengeful nature, although the present leader and his good friend may not face consequences immediately, afterwards who knows what this guy will do to them?
Just thinking of Shorty’s methods for dealing with people makes not only Shorty’s superior but even the President slightly nervous.
They felt it’s best to find a suitable opportunity to discuss this issue openly with Shorty because having an enemy like this is not a good thing.
Jiang Cheng had no time for the leader’s false enthusiasm and no interest in the schemes among the three of them.
He directly said to the supreme leader of Delmar Planet, "I have reached an agreement with him regarding those refugees mentioned earlier, and the content of the agreement will be explained by him to you—we only need your results."
"This is the last time!" Jiang Cheng’s tone was very calm, "If you can’t satisfy me again, it’ll not just end with a bloodbath in the President’s Mansion like last time; I won’t stop there!"
Jiang Cheng’s eyes revealed an aggressive look, sweeping over the leader and two elder leaders.
He intensified his tone, looking at the three trembling leaders of Delmar Planet, "If you run, I will chase you to the ends. And," his tone turned cold, "your families, relatives, don’t think they’ll escape."
The three leaders gasped; they didn’t expect the man in front of them to be so cold-blooded. After all, this practice of implicating nine generations hadn’t appeared on their highly civilized planet for many years.
"Think carefully!" Jiang Cheng said, satisfied as he looked at their expressions. Then he left with Yanran and Ba Lv, leaving them to worry.
Jiang Cheng and his group went back to the hotel where they had stayed before, waiting quietly for the outcome of the deliberations by the three from Delmar Planet.
Just as Jiang Cheng left, the three in the leader’s office started to argue.
"It’s all your fault!" The leader couldn’t suppress his fear, starting to blame Shorty, "If you hadn’t messed with such a person, how would things have turned out this way?"
Shorty was not someone who would accept blame easily. As his allies began attacking him, he certainly wouldn’t let them assault him without response.
"Blame me? Ha," Shorty sneered, he utterly despised the two people in front of him. Initially, they could only see what was right under their nose; now that the situation was uncontrollable, they only whined, pathetic. How could people like this become the leaders of Delmar Planet? It’s a joke.
"At the time you took a bribe from me, you didn’t say that," Shorty looked at the leader’s red face and felt extremely pleased.
He also had grievances to vent. Did they really think being the leader meant they could do whatever they wanted to him?
He looked down on them too much.
Shorty came from a family entrenched in politics, with his grandfather working at key positions in Delmar Planet’s mansion, continuing through his father, and then him.
Their family’s networking efforts over three generations spanned the entire Delmar Star System; whether in commerce or administration, these two people in front of him couldn’t compare.
And these two useless individuals, what skills do they have? What connections?
Shorty even suspected they didn’t have resources in the Capital City at all.
If it weren’t for him being exposed for embezzling public funds in the last election, how would it have been their turn to become leader?
But even so, he still became the top leader of the administrative department, a position second only to the leader, more powerful than the President.
Shorty didn’t dwell on the election loss. A puppet leader like now wasn’t worth his time.
Feeling dejected after losing the election, his retired father personally came to comfort him, letting him see the truth.
So after listening to his father, Shorty secretly decided that next time when he became leader, if he couldn’t wield the ultimate power himself, it would be in the hands of his kin.
Therefore, he wasn’t afraid of breaking off with these two people in front of him, even though they were the leader and in name the top leader of the administration.
No real power is useless; Shorty thought happily, just like himself—if the leader’s orders didn’t suit him, he paid them no heed.
"You both took my money; it wasn’t a small amount!" Shorty mercilessly turned the leader’s good friend into a target of attack.
"What did you say to me then??!" Fatty coldly snapped, "You would support me and let me go all out to deal with the three from the Extraterrestrial Planet."
"Now? When things aren’t going well, you want me alone to take the blame? What a good deal?"
Fatty proclaimed, "You think I’m new to this?!
Facing Shorty’s accusations, the leader and the Star Doctor’s top leader flushed red and paled alternatively, unsure how to counter him.
Back then, they accepted the benefits Shorty offered; it was an eye-popping sum of money, so much that the leader who intended to exploit the situation abandoned his plans and instead supported him.
