Chapter 235: Chapter 112 Old Dean’s Fury_2 Chapter 235: Chapter 112 Old Dean’s Fury_2 Previously, Xu Mo had been rather dismissive toward him, never responding to messages and hanging up directly when called.
This left him, with his ‘Money Ability’, quite frustrated, as no one had ever dared to be so brazen toward the ‘Young Master’.
“I need a favor,” Xu Mo began.
“What kind of favor?” the alien inquired.
“Do you know about the Li family and Genetic Company Prometheus?” Xu Mo asked.
“Of course,” the alien responded.
“What’s their influence like in the Capital?” Xu Mo asked.
“How is their reputation?”
“The Li family is rather low-key.
They’re an energy dynasty, focusing on the government sector; to do energy business, you must have sufficient influence there.
They are the shadows behind the government and have been expanding to major cities over the years.”
The alien said, “As for Genetic Company Prometheus, they trade in Evolution Liquid, aiming to monopolize that market segment.
They’ve indeed done very well and are now expanding too.”
“As for their reputation you mentioned, it’s so-so, not good or bad.

Why, are they causing trouble in Steel Dome City?”
“To my knowledge, Genetic Company Prometheus needs to experiment with human genes for their Evolution Liquid.
Isn’t there any outcry against this in the Capital?” Xu Mo asked.
“With the complex interplay of forces in the Capital, Genetic Company Prometheus naturally restrains itself; They wouldn’t dare conduct genetic experiments there.
What large conglomerate is clean?
How can you become a financial tycoon without being a bloodsucker?
Of course, there are exceptions, like some tycoons with aspirations and ideals…”
“Can you help me investigate two people?” Xu Mo asked.
“Who?” the alien replied.
“Steel Dome City Mayor Shen Han and Southern Army Commander Shen Qianzhong,” said Xu Mo.
“For you guys in Steel Dome City, it should be easier to investigate local influences.
Although ‘Money Ability’ is strong, it doesn’t compare to the sway of a city.
I’m well aware that you’re no simple character in Steel Dome City, so it should be easier for you,” the alien said, understanding Xu Mo’s situation in Steel Dome City quite well.
“I know, but it’s not their activities in Steel Dome City that I’m looking for.
I want to know if they have ever been to the Capital and whether they have any financial dealings with the tycoons there,” Xu Mo replied.
If the two were backed by financial tycoons, then there must surely be financial transactions, right?
And some things that aren’t convenient to do in Steel Dome City need to be done elsewhere.
After all, the Academy Faction’s influence is not low in Steel Dome City.
It is possible to find out certain things if one wanted to.
That’s why he needed to check on the outside.
What were the Shen Family Brothers doing all this for?
Were they really that clean?
There had to be a web of interests behind it all.
“Alright, I’ll give it a try,” the alien said.
“But if I really find something, what will you give me?”
“What do you want?” Xu Mo asked.
“Come work for me in the future,” the alien persisted, not giving up on the idea of taking on followers.
“I’m based in Steel Dome City, which isn’t very realistic,” Xu Mo responded.

“Then I’ll think about it,” said the alien.
“I’ll let you know once I’ve decided.”
“Fine,” Xu Mo nodded.
“Hanging up now.”
“Hold on,” the alien said.
“The demoness has gone on a killing spree again.
What did you do to her??”
He was becoming suspicious; the demoness had been acting off lately.
Xu Mo wore an odd expression.
Was it just because he’d missed an appointment?
There was also the matter of not replying to messages and hanging up on calls.
“I didn’t do anything,” Xu Mo replied.
“Is the demoness really that ugly?” the alien asked for the third time, expressing serious doubts.
“Why don’t you go and see for yourself?” Xu Mo replied.
“Forget it,” the alien shuddered at the thought of the fierce and formidable woman.
She’s not someone to mess with!
Considering her ferocity, he couldn’t care less how beautiful she was; it’s not like he had never seen a beautiful woman before…
“Right, Steel Dome City was attacked by a Monster, are you alright?” the alien asked with concern.
“Nothing much,” Xu Mo replied.
“That’s what I thought, bye,” the alien hung up the Communicator.
After putting down the Communicator, Xu Mo revealed a contemplative expression.
The alien possessed the “Money Ability”, obviously not just wealthy.
Moreover, when the subject of the energy conglomerate and Prometheus Company came up, he didn’t seem too surprised.
Furthermore, when mentioning the Financial tycoon, he first spoke of them as bloodsuckers, then mentioned there were exceptions, like those with ideals…
Xu Mo guessed that the alien’s real identity was either a Financial tycoon or the legitimate Young Master of a prominent family.
The alien didn’t realize that his casual words had revealed so much, it was careless of him.
…
Soon after, someone came to notify the Old Dean that the media had arrived and were waiting outside Noah Academy.
The Old Dean and Xu Mo set off together.
Their neighborhood was right next to Noah Academy, and they arrived quickly.
By then, many people had gathered outside Noah Academy, most of whom had attended the funeral; these were all close supporters of the Academy Faction.
At the same time, many students were spectating from the outer area.
When the Old Dean arrived, it caused quite a stir.
What was this about?
The Old Dean’s arrival at the front of Noah Academy to be interviewed by the media, and the presence of the elders from the Academy, hinted at an impending public announcement.
At this point, many people in Steel Dome City saw the situation on their screens.
The media had already forecasted that Dean Tantai had called a media conference to announce some matters, streaming it citywide, but the specifics were unknown, leaving countless citizens curious.
They waited eagerly in front of their screens to see what was happening outside Noah Academy.
The choice of Noah Academy as the venue for the media conference seemed to have a deeper implication.
They noticed that, aside from the Old Dean, Xu Mo was standing behind him, followed by many of Noah Academy’s venerable figures, all with serious expressions.
Finally, Dean Tantai appeared on the camera; reporters surged forward, pointing their microphones at the Old Dean.
“Old Dean, is there something you wish to announce to the public?” a reporter asked.
“Yes,” Dean Tantai replied gravely, his gaze steady and forward.
At that moment, countless faces in Steel Dome City were watching the Elder’s visage.
“I regret taking up everyone’s time.
On the day of the Steel Dome City disaster, my partner and friend, Acting Dean and Interim Dean of Noah Academy, Lin Qingze, commanded the fight in the Academy.
It wasn’t until late into the night, after the Monster turmoil had stabilized, that he went to check on his family.
However, he was attacked and killed en route,” said the Old Dean seriously onscreen.
“Today was his funeral, not long ago I bid him farewell.”
“The footage shows that a Monster attacked Lin Qingze, and the autopsy report also stated he was killed by a Monster, which essentially framed the incident.
But up to now, the Monsters within the city have been cleared, that particular Monster has not been seen again.”
“However, Lin Qingze’s Source Power Level was B+, a not insignificant strength.
On the night of the disaster, he would have undoubtedly been very vigilant, and he had Battle Armor on him.
It would not be easy for a Monster below A-level to harm him, and that night, with the Monsters already partially under control, no A-level Monsters appeared again.
I have reasons to suspect that it wasn’t a Monster, but rather a mutated gene-enhanced human.”
“The city has suffered a tragedy, which pains my heart, but someone used this disaster to commit murder, and not just anyone, but the Interim Dean of Extraordinary Academy.
I will not stand for this,” the Elder’s voice grew louder, carrying a hint of deadly seriousness.
“Up to now, no one has come forward to explain the circumstances of this incident, merely attributing it to a Monster attack and hastily closing the case.
I hope the Steel Dome City Government and the Security Bureau will soon give Lin Qingze’s family, myself, and the people of Noah Academy an explanation, find that Monster, and if they can’t find the Monster, then find the killer.”
The old man said coldly to the camera, paused for a moment, then continued.
“If the City Government and Security Bureau can’t do it, then I will find them myself.”
After Dean Tantai finished speaking, he turned and left.
Behind him, the onlookers continued to watch the camera, someone spoke out, “The Old Dean’s words also represent our sentiments.
On the day after Dean Lin was killed, a new Dean took office, and no concern was shown for Dean Lin’s death.
Now, we collectively resign, no longer holding any position at Noah Academy, and additionally, we hope the City Government and the Security Bureau will give us an expedition explanation.”
