Realized Game: I Hoarded 10 Billion Defense Towers
Chapter 55 - 52: Moral Blackmail? You’ve Picked the Wrong Person
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
High in the sky, Shen Fei ignored the shocked crowd below, having just dealt with the group of foreigners who were killing indiscriminately. Aside from the Mist Tower that concealed him and Sun Yu, which remained in place, Shen Fei instantly retracted the other four Defense Towers.
He had originally deployed five Defense Towers just to be safe. But his opponents turned out to be made of paper, annihilated in an instant. He hadn’t needed so many Defense Towers at all. All that preparation for nothing.
BOOM!
Seeing Yu nod beside him, indicating that Uncle Sun’s phone was still reachable, Shen Fei waved his hand and deployed a Search and Position Tower.
WHIRRR.
The moment the Search Tower landed, it began to scan like a radar. Although it was still a base tower, as a Tenth Tier Defense Tower, its basic effective range was five kilometers. A range like that was enough to cover most of the airport.
"So that’s where he is!"
Three seconds later, Shen Fei pointed, and the Celestial Horse flew directly toward an uncovered concrete hole.
Uncle Sun was still alive. Right below, in that concrete hole!
"Yah!"
"Yah!"
"Yah!!"
Shen Fei and Sun Yu, riding the Celestial Horse, landed with a SWOOSH right in front of Uncle Sun.
Behind Uncle Sun, a group of men and women in suits and formal wear instantly erupted into a clamor of excitement.
"We’re saved!"
They had just been thinking of surrendering to Godzilla. They never expected that someone even more powerful than Godzilla would appear directly before them.
Looking at Sun Yu embracing Uncle Sun, this group of men and women, who had just been manipulating Uncle Sun, realized the two young men were acquainted with him. And upon seeing the two men’s yellow skin, the expressions on the crowd’s faces turned arrogant once more.
"Hello, you must recognize me!" a brightly dressed female celebrity said, suddenly turning to Sun Yu with an eager expression after noticing the look a wealthy businessman beside her shot in her direction.
"Hm?"
Sun Yu, who was still emotional over his father’s safety and the golden guard standing beside him, looked up in confusion.
"Um..."
Staring at the celebrity’s beautiful face and curvaceous figure, Sun Yu was a bit lost. Sun Yu didn’t watch TV or movies. The only thing he liked to do was play games. If she had been a female gamer or streamer, Sun Yu would have definitely recognized her. Unfortunately, this was a celebrity.
Seeing that Sun Yu didn’t recognize her, a flash of displeasure crossed the celebrity’s eyes. She leaned forward slightly and said, "I’m Cheng Jiaojiao! I’ve starred in..."
"Spit it out!"
Before Sun Yu could answer, Shen Fei, looking at the celebrity’s affected and pretentious demeanor, spoke coldly.
What a waste of time. I’m busy here.
After surviving three years of the apocalypse and having seen countless gorgeous NPC super-beauties, Shen Fei felt nothing for this pretentious celebrity. When he had scanned the situation here earlier, he had seen these people standing in the safest spot at the very back while Uncle Sun held the front line all by himself. He understood the situation instantly.
He had no problem wiping out the rampaging Godzilla to save Uncle Sun. But as for getting involved with these people, Shen Fei had no interest whatsoever.
"Huh?"
The celebrity was stunned.
How dare someone speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?
Beside her, a man with slicked-back hair, dressed in a full suit with black leather shoes and a tie, suddenly scolded, "Sir, please show some respect to Miss Cheng. She is the spokesperson for our airport! Your manners represent the people of Qing City! Don’t bring shame upon us!"
"And who are you?" Shen Fei turned to look at the man who had immediately tried to pin a label on him.
"I am the general manager of the airport!"
"General manager?"
Shen Fei looked at the man who didn’t charge to the front lines to face the chaos at the airport, who didn’t try to save the wounded and dying civilians. This general manager, who only knew how to hide in the back during a disaster, made Shen Fei suddenly laugh.
However, before Shen Fei could speak, another man, a portly businessman, spoke up. "Oh, Manager Wang, ignorance is no crime. I think this young brother is just a bit impatient, but otherwise, he’s a fine young man!"
"Young brother, we all saw what happened outside. The ability you’ve inherited is very powerful. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. Now that those crazy foreigners have been taken care of, your next step should be to protect us..."
Hearing the portly businessman’s words, Shen Fei was speechless. He pursed his lips and sneered, "And how should I protect you?"
The businessman said, "It’s too chaotic outside right now. I think it would be safer for us to stay here. Young brother, I think that cylinder you deployed earlier could be placed right over this opening to keep us safe!"
Shen Fei said flatly, "And what about the people outside? Should they not be protected?"
As he spoke, Shen Fei pointed upward toward the airport survivors who had been gathered together by the Cultivation and martial arts ability users, along with the remaining military Warriors.
The businessman hurriedly replied, "Brother, people’s lives have different values. How can they be the same as us? You must have heard the phrase ’let the leaders go first’! Don’t worry, once we’re safe, I’ll be sure to write you a letter of commendation!"
"That’s right, that’s right! I’ll vouch for him!"
"Yeah, I can even post on Weibo to thank you!"
"Yes, yes, with great power comes great responsibility!"
Following the businessman’s words, the dozen or so men and women who had manipulated Uncle Sun and were now trying to manipulate Shen Fei all began to speak at once.
"Young brother, don’t let this opportunity slip by!"
"Do you know who we are!"
"Even the scraps that fall from between our fingers would be more than you could hope to earn in a lifetime!"
Seeing the broad smile on Shen Fei’s face, the airport’s general manager spoke up again. He and the others were playing good cop and bad cop. They were perfectly coordinated. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Exactly, young brother. You can’t be so selfish!"
"That’s right, if you have this kind of power, you should help everyone!"
"Indeed! In these chaotic times, you have to seize your opportunities, young brother!"
"Not protecting us is a crime!"
"I’ve seen your face. If you don’t protect us, I’ll..."
With the "bad cop" making his threat, everyone chimed in. It was as if they had rehearsed it beforehand; their coordination was flawless. With their cacophony of voices, they tried to back Shen Fei into a moral corner. It was as if Shen Fei’s refusal to obey their arrangements would make him a villain guilty of the most heinous crimes, an unforgivable sinner.
"Young Master..."
Seeing the same scene play out before Shen Fei, Uncle Sun, who had been manipulated earlier, opened his mouth to speak. He could allow himself to be morally blackmailed by these people, but Uncle Sun didn’t want his son and Shen Fei to remain in this place as well.
"It’s fine..." Seeing Uncle Sun’s concerned gaze, Shen Fei patted his hand reassuringly. "You want me to put the Defense Tower here?"
Shen Fei looked at the group before him with a wide, cheerful grin.
"Yes, yes!"
"That’s right, hurry up! Stop wasting time!"
"Young brother, I can tell you’re an eager helper!"
"The young brother is a smart man. Protect us, and your future will be bright!"
For every one sentence from Shen Fei, they responded with ten.
"Alright!" Nodding, Shen Fei let out a cold laugh.
WHOOSH!
He summoned a Defense Tower three meters in diameter. The moment the Defense Tower appeared, it dropped directly on top of the airport general manager’s head.
CRUNCH!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, the airport general manager was instantly crushed into a meat patty by the enormous Defense Tower.
"Got used to playing your little manipulation games, have you?" Shen Fei said. "Real smooth with the moral blackmail, aren’t you?"
As the men and women in suits watched in horror, Shen Fei directly summoned the Defense Tower and crushed the "bad cop" general manager into a meat patty.
"AHHH!!!"
The splattered flesh and blood sprayed directly onto the face of the celebrity who had spoken earlier. When she snapped out of her shock, she let out a deafening scream.
SPLAT!
Unfortunately, before she could say anything else, another Defense Tower appeared, and the screaming celebrity was also crushed into a meat patty.
