Food God System: Wasteland-Chapter 462 - 262: Overthrow

Chen Che’s sudden move sent a shock through everyone in the entire council.

This bastard, nobody expected him to pull such an unexpected trick.

The council targeted the entire Judicial Bureau and Chen Che only because they coveted the Bureau’s power and the wealth that poured in like a money-printing machine under his control.

But ironically, their excuse for acting against Chen Che was his numerous crimes, claiming he must pay the price.

But at this moment, everyone realized they might have shot themselves in the foot.

No one anticipated Chen Che would attack them from such a cunning angle.

Yes, the entire council used this method to make Chen Che pay and let go of what was in his hands.

Ideally, with a crime syndicate’s mastermind caught, the entire group should collapse, and every crime chain should be purged, but would the council really want to rid themselves of such a profitable scheme? Obviously not.

Since they arranged for their own people to take over and continue reaping profits.

For example, Chen Che’s newspaper, farms, and other businesses.

Yet they found out that when Chen Che left, he took the core of these businesses with him, so what could they do? 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

To continue making money, they could only restart the business routes previously blocked by Lighthouse.

If they restart, Chen Che can speak up.

I was doing this business and got screwed over by you all, barely escaping thanks to a Baron’s status.

Now you’re doing them again, so what status do you have to escape the blame?

Chen Che slammed his hands on the table, with a smile and an aggressive tone, said, "Mr. President of the Council, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation. These businesses are explicitly banned. Although I was involved before, I am no longer related. I’ve cleaned up.

However, the Judicial Bureau will undoubtedly restart investigations. After all, we can’t let anyone else fall so low.

Since the council is reluctant to pursue Qian Yunshan’s responsibilities, there’s no need. The Judicial Bureau will reinvestigate everything, uncover all insider dealings related to these businesses, expose and eliminate every worm hiding within the council."

"Gentlemen, let’s be wise and strive to meet at the summit."

At this moment, everyone’s face in the council turned extremely grim. After saying these words, Chen Che stood up and left the council.

"Where are you going?!"

Councilor Andemon couldn’t sit still, sprang to his feet. This guy isn’t playing by the rules. Usually, in political power struggles like this, there would be hours of bickering to exchange each other’s interests, like haggling in a marketplace.

Afterward, agreeing to let the matter drop.

It was expected that the Judicial Bureau incident would go the same way. Before An Nishang and Chen Che entered the council, a short meeting was held.

Roughly discussing the bottom line they could offer.

How much effort it would take to appease An Nishang, so that this incident could pass.

Such occurrences are not uncommon in a political arena, yet in the end, it all boils down to collective compromise and exchange of interests.

Then the political landscape would stabilize again, returning to its usual route.

But now it seemed different.

Chen Che seemed not interested in negotiating with them.

It’s like you’re at a market, eyeing a doll, haggling over the price, bringing up that the doll is a knockoff.

The vendor thought you’d use this to lower the price and was ready for a big discount, prepared to sell it low, but you suddenly threw down the doll and walked away.

This left the vendor completely unsure about your intentions.

If you just didn’t want the doll, the vendor would find you peculiar.

But what the vendor feared was not that you didn’t want the doll, but that you called the police saying someone here is selling bootleg dolls, violating copyrights.

Ready to flip the table!

Councilor Andemon realized that Chen Che seemed ready to flip the table.

This guy, along with An Nishang, was being uncharacteristically aggressive.

Chen Che halted halfway, turned to glance at everyone in the council with a smile, saying, "Gentlemen, actually, I’ve also noticed, when playing politics, you seem not as good as me.

You removed me, the big tumor, for the harmony and stability of the Ninth Special Zone, and I was quite moved. I’ve decided to turn over a new leaf, and I’ve decided to remove all major tumors from the Ninth Special Zone.

Let’s create a harmonious and friendly Ninth Special Zone without any corruption or violence."

"Trust me, for this great ideal, I will go forward fearlessly, and the entire Judicial Bureau will proceed fearlessly to overhaul the Ninth Special Zone’s public safety!"

After saying this, Chen Che left with large strides.

Leaving behind a council of heavy expressions.

"What the hell does he mean by that, is he out of his mind?" Robbie cursed.

Deputy Director of the Finance Bureau, Guan Ning, already sensed something, his face showing a hint of serious thought. After a brief hesitation, he stood up and said, "Gentlemen, I’ll be taking my leave."

"Guan Ning, why are you leaving so quickly?"

"Haven’t you all figured it out yet? The mad dog is about to bite, and I need to go get a vaccine.

Before you planned to act, I already reminded you that Chen Che is a madman. Before you’re ready to act, you must first have confirmed intelligence, and finally, a confirmed means to completely suppress him, or else this person will turn into a mad dog."

Guan Ning left with long strides. Qian Yunshan fell to the ground with relief, while the other councilors broke into a noisy argument.

Vazmir looked out the window.

The wind was calm.

But his heart was surging with unease, always feeling like a storm was coming, especially with Chen Che’s parting words.

What exactly does he want to do?

Or does he want to do everything?

...

"What do you want to do?" An Nishang looked at Chen Che, who smiled softly, "Nishang, during the time you were gone, I had no choice but to stir up quite a bit of trouble.

If you hadn’t come back, I would have been ready to shout that we should all rise and seize power.

But now that you’re back, I don’t plan to stop.

However, we can change our approach."

"If I hadn’t come back, you were planning a rebellion?"

"Exactly, if you hadn’t returned, I was ready to launch a rebellion to overthrow the entire Ninth Special Zone’s council and control it myself, becoming a dictator.

I would turn the entire Ninth Special Zone into a military district, and within two years, make its military strength peak.

And then launch a rebellion against the entire Night Empire, storming into the Royal Capital.

But since you returned, we can take it slow and avoid such risks; we can transform from rebellion to a coup."

An Nishang didn’t care if he was a madman, or if he wanted to overthrow the entire Special Zone’s rule; she was just wondering, curious about one thing.

"Why do you want to do this?"

"Why what?"

"Why want rebellion."

"Isn’t it obvious? If you couldn’t return, you were certainly trapped in that Royal Capital. If you died there, I would slaughter the entire royal family of the Night Empire for revenge. If you were trapped there, I would fight my way in to rescue you.

I had even thought it through at the time; I’d even use the little princess, possibly leveraging the entire Great Yan Dynasty to crush the Night Empire."

An Nishang’s beautiful eyes stared at him, at his face, with no excess expression, and said softly: "If I really hadn’t died, was trapped inside, you surely know what I would have faced; everything would be different then. Is it meaningful?"

"It is meaningful.

Be it the change of time or the constancy of things.

Nothing can stop the purpose of my actions.

If by then you really had been tormented, I would massacre the entire royal family of the Night Empire top to bottom, kill everyone in the Night Empire who knew about it, you would still be you."

"When did you become so hopelessly in love with me, willing to do these things for me?"

"Haha, maybe I have some perverted psychology, I just like you, such a ruthless fiend before others, a queen high and mighty, yet before me, exceedingly gentle, enduring all my desecrations. I like it when others kneel before you, showing off that high pride on your stunningly beautiful face, yet when you voluntarily kneel before me to seek pleasure, you deliberately pretend to be aloof.

How does that saying go?

I might just like you being a queen in front of others, but my own... slut..."

Chen Che’s insulting yet flirtatious words not only didn’t anger Annie, but her red lips curved into a meandering smile.

"I also like... you mad dog, you really fascinate me."

"Do you love me?"

"Love." No hesitation.

The driver hearing their conversation, got goosebumps all over, wishing he were deaf.

The ruthless fiend also could utter the word love.

Chen Che laughed heartily.

"Nishang, you’ve laid it all out, returned to this place, so shouldn’t I do the same, build you an indestructible base of operations?

Start with these council members.

Eliminating one by one those who don’t belong to us."

"Have you thought it through, beyond dealing with the council... all the forces in this area... you have to consider how to deal with the military department and the troops of the six districts."

"Tsk tsk, a Tang Taotie, and a Yan Chong... Tang Taotie is easy to deal with, just satisfy his insatiable appetite, really, he’s not loyal to the council. Like you, his fundamental strength isn’t even here.

He won’t waste his troops.

Just need you to act, go personally, do as I say, and we can resolve our Commander Tang."

"Oh? Me?"

Chen Che whispered a few words in An Nishang’s ear, her eyes flashing a hint of surprise, looking at Chen Che with interest: "How did you learn this secret?"

"I told you, I haven’t been idle, there is a lot of intelligence in the entire Ninth Special Zone, I know more than you can imagine."

A crow perched on the passenger seat.

Cawed twice, seemingly taking credit.

"Alright, I will personally go find our Commander Tang, but... Yan Chong is not so easily handled. He holds so much military power, is a local force in the Ninth Special Zone, what we are doing will surely affect his core interests, if he allies with the council..."

"Yan Chong... huh, before you came back, I had already thought of a way to handle him.

This guy is also an old pervert, over 40 years old, only likes young girls. Previously, a family gave their daughter to him, she’s from the Snow Clan. You should know Snow Clan girls are exceptionally beautiful, natural furnaces, called Enchanting Snow Maidens... This old pervert, after defiling her, often shows her off, and shares with others.

He’s only focused on enjoying the Enchanting Snow Maiden’s body, the pleasure of the flesh.

Forgetting that Enchanting Snow Maidens naturally carry a curse, possessing extremely intelligent minds, retaliatory by nature."
