Chapter 56: Inconceivable Terrorist Organization

[It is entirely feasible for an organization to emulate the systems and structures of other outstanding organizations.]

[However, if its ideology and core are also entirely imitated, it will essentially become nothing more than a replica of the imitated organization.]

[Therefore, you are happy to see the establishment and development of the Jade Capital Society.]

[In fact, when the Jade Capital Society was expanding and recruiting, you even handpicked a group of members fanatically devoted to your faith from the Red Heart Society, having them infiltrate the Jade Capital Society through the application process.]

[Du Yuhan is utilizing funds and transcendent resources from the Du family behind her to nurture members of the Jade Capital Society, which might elevate the future strength of the Red Heart Battle Regiment to a whole new level.]

[In December of the 125th Transcendent Year, you invested all your capital into the international energy market, frantically purchasing blazing gold oil while also conducting a series of acquisitions targeting other types of transcendent energy resources.]

[After all, the funds currently in your hands are simply too massive; if you were to use all of them to purchase blazing gold oil, it would likely provoke some unnecessary trouble.]

[Since the White Eagle Empire intends to launch energy sanctions against the Federation, any energy commodities relying on external trade within the Federation will suffer severe fluctuations, leading to surging prices.]

[Therefore, casting such a wide net will maximize your harvest.]

[With the promulgation of the White Eagle Empire's national policy on energy sanctions, all transcendent energy within the Federation began to rise in price across the board.]

[This time, the magnitude of the price hike reached unprecedented heights, surpassing even the prices you witnessed in your previous simulation.]

[After all, the funds you commanded this time were terrifyingly vast; your frantic purchasing even triggered concurrent buying sprees by other financial institutions.]

[Consequently, this drove the already doubled price of blazing gold oil to an even more terrifying peak.]

[For a time, the idea of making a fortune by speculating on blazing gold oil spread through unknown channels to every street and alley.]

[Even on the Wisdom Net, people were engaged in heated discussions about this matter.]

[A large number of professionals even mortgaged their equipment and vehicles, while others liquidated every possible loan available on the market just to speculate in energy futures.]

[You smelled something unusual in all of this. When a money-making venture—especially information regarding stock and futures speculation—becomes common knowledge to the general public, it signifies that larger forces are making their move to harvest the leeks.]

[After all, during your first two simulations, if not for Xu Hai's reminders, a weak individual like you would never have been able to access such transcendent financial intelligence.]

[The various information published in transcendent financial reports also requires exorbitant subscription fees to view.]

[Yet now, such precious information has become a nationwide sensation.]

[There is definitely something deeply problematic here!]

[Without hesitation, you immediately liquidated all the transcendent energy assets in your possession.]

[Because the batch of energy in your hands was excessively large, it caused a certain degree of turbulence in the upward trajectory of transcendent energy prices.]

[However, driven by a mysterious force, the prices of transcendent energy surged once again shortly after.]

[That very night, a Third-Transition professional knocked on your door.]

[Upon entering, he immediately cut to the chase, bluntly stating that as a student of humble origins, even as the top scorer of the grand examination, you were incapable of holding onto such formidable capital.]

[Therefore, you should hand the money over to them, and they would leave you with one percent to cover various startup expenses.]

[Otherwise, a toddler walking the streets carrying a block of gold—you know the consequences.]

[With that, a powerful aura erupted from his body.]

[Under the suppression of this terrifying aura, ordinary First-Transition professionals would likely find movement somewhat difficult.]

[Yet, looking at him, you simply flashed a grin.]

[The next moment, an aura just as formidable as his—if not stronger—rose from your body.]

[This sight caused his expression to shift drastically; he actually perceived a mortal threat emanating from you.]

[In other words, if a real fight were to break out, the outcome remained entirely unpredictable.]

[This left him feeling as though he were sitting on pins and needles. How could a freshman in college possess Third-Transition combat power?]

[It defied all reason!]

[Even those hailing from the great families at the Federation's center, aided by cutting-edge technology and transcendent resources, could not possibly complete a Third-Transition in mere months.]

[A flurry of speculations surged through his mind, and as those thoughts deepened, a layer of cold sweat beaded across his forehead.]

[He had originally thought this would be a simple shakedown, never expecting it to unearth such an peerless figure.]

[Thud!]

[Without the slightest hesitation, the intruder dropped to his knees before you and began kowtowing frantically.]

[No explanations were needed, nor were any probings required.]

[Your professional tier was the ultimate proof of a profound background.]

[Therefore, he knew that if he failed to secure your forgiveness today, he might never walk out of this room alive.]

[Worse still, his entire clan down to the ninth generation could be implicated.]

[You remained silent, quietly watching him kowtow until his forehead was slick with blood, whereupon you raised your gaze slightly.]

[Without a word, you merely flicked your wrist, unleashing the set skill of the Thunder Roar armor: Ten Thousand Thunders Strike.]

[A terrifying flash of lightning illuminated the room, and the uninvited guest was sent flying directly out the door.]

[A vast cluster of lightning serpents slithered across his body, yet he dared not use his battle qi to expel them. After offering another round of desperate kowtows of apology from outside, he fled in panic.]

[Your attack thoroughly validated his earlier suspicions.]

[After all, while auras might be disguised using props, his eyes were not blind; the lightning summoned with a mere flick of your wrist was unequivocally an extremely powerful skill.]

[The intelligence he carried back directly shocked the faction standing behind him.]

[Moreover, after professional appraisal, the electrical arcs still dancing on his body were identified as residual damage from the Grade-A skill: Ten Thousand Thunders Strike.]

[Based on their analysis, they reached a conclusion.]

[Either you had concealed your class, were actually a powerful Third-Transition Thunder Mage, and possessed a Grade-A skill card.]

[Or you were clad in the Epic-tier set: Wrath of Thunder—and the value of an Epic-tier set is something that cannot be measured by money alone.]

[Had these been the only conditions, they might still have dared to test the waters.]

[However, when combined with the premise that you were a college freshman, they realized you were completely beyond their ability to provoke.]

[Even a fool could deduce that an unfathomably terrifying faction was undoubtedly backing you up and shielding you.]

[The lifetime accumulation of a Class-C battle regiment fighting hundreds of battles amounted to nothing more than the starting equipment and skills of a pampered scion like you.]

[Therefore, after deliberating among themselves, they decided they must secure your forgiveness.]

[Daring not approach you directly, they pulled strings and utilized connections to deliver the compensation and various precious transcendent resources intended for you straight to the Old Principal.]

[Gazing at the piles of precious resources arrayed before him, and then looking at his old friend who had come as a lobbyist, the Old Principal's eyes flickered with deep thought.]

[You actually possessed such a profound background?]

[Yet, upon reflection, it made sense: without the backing of a powerful faction, how else could you have wreaked such havoc in the futures and stock markets to amass such terrifying wealth?]

[Realizing this, the Old Principal became even more delighted.]

[For he knew that everything you had promised would inevitably come to pass.]

[As for battle regiment qualifications, you undoubtedly possessed the channels to secure them from the Battle Regiment Administration Bureau.]

[He could even harbor a faint anticipation: could you expand the Red Heart Battle Regiment to the scale of a Class-C battle regiment before graduation?]

[As for reaching Class-B?]

[That was far too distant; he dared not even dream of it.]
