After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 204 - 67: The Flood of Material Desire (3)

"Brother Su, I apologize to you, I don't want the repair fee anymore, you're generous, please let me go!"

Su Mo patted his head, like petting a dog's head: "Brother, you're just lucky you ran into me. If you ran into my Dongzai, he'd smash your head with a stick, and you'd have nowhere to cry."

"I say, you need to change that arrogant attitude of yours, go spend a few years in the slammer to cool off, and come out a new person, don't be so cocky."

Hearing he had to go to the slammer for several years, the buzz-cut man was so scared his legs went weak, crying and shouting nonstop: "Brother, I really was wrong! Brother!!!"

The sheriff gave him two punches and forcefully stuffed him into a courtesy car.

The beauty was also scared pale, begging: "Brother Su, it was him mocking you, I just said a few words... please let me go..."

Su Mo said blandly: "I think you two getting along well with this act, I suggest you should be locked up tight, don't go harm other honest people. You'll accompany him in the slammer, bye~"

The beauty cried out in fear, also dragged away.

The sheriff walked to Su Mo and lowered his voice to ask: "Director Su, how many years do you want these two to be sentenced? We can help with the arrangements."

These words made Su Mo feel helpless, his smile somewhat bitter.

This is the Dawn Realm.

The rich bully the poor casually.

The powerful bully the rich casually.

The even more powerful bully those with less power than themselves casually.

And so layer by layer, a world driven by material desires is formed.

Here, everyone has inflated desires, flailing and struggling in the whirlpool of power.

Aren't I the same?

Wanting to reach the Peak of Dawn, he was already in the whirlpool long ago.

But chasing power isn't a bad thing.

Power, like strength, is a weapon to arm oneself.

In this world, many things can only be accomplished with power.

He would embrace power and use it as a springboard to reach the Peak of Dawn.

But he wouldn't treat power itself as his ultimate pursuit, nor would he use it to cater to lowly pleasures.

Otherwise, he'd just be like those mediocre people, merely slaves to power.

Su Mo waved his hand at the sheriff and said: "I was just kidding around to scare them. These two are just annoying, they haven't done anything heinous, take them back for a couple of cups of tea and let them go."

"Uh... okay, I'll have the general office handle it." The sheriff opened the car door for Su Mo and said, "Please get in."

Su Mo sat in Sikinkov's special car, and under the sheriff's escort, headed towards Lake Heart Island.

Lake Heart Island is the most mysterious area of New Moon City.

The Border District is a gathering place for the fallen.

The Rust Wall District is a mire for the working class.

The High-Tech Park is a place for intellectuals striving to reach the middle class.

Anmi New District is the residence for the wealthy and successful.

While Lake Heart Island is the paradise of the most powerful in New Moon City.

Wanting to live on Lake Heart Island requires more than just money.

Like those parents in the previous Xinghai Cinema hostage incident, even though they belong to the elite class of this city, each with assets over a hundred million, none of them had the qualifications to reside on Lake Heart Island.

The residents of Lake Heart Island are either high leaders of various departments of the authorities or high-level managers of the three major corporations' branches in New Moon City.

These people not only possess over 80% of New Moon City's wealth but also have the power to change the city with their every action and word.

A casually spoken sentence in a meeting can impact the city's development plan for the next decade.

Any document they sign can affect the fate of tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

Even well-known intermediaries like Audiana and Dress can only buy an estate in Anmi New District; they don't even qualify to be neighbors with the big shots on Lake Heart Island.

It's clearly evening rush hour, with all the roads and highways extremely busy, yet Su Mo's motorcade traveled unobstructed, without the driver ever having to brake.

The roads the motorcade needed had already been traffic-controlled, prohibiting any civilian vehicles from entering, and all intersection lights were green, only turning red after the motorcade passed.

At each control point we passed, the guarding sheriffs saluted solemnly to Su Mo, watching him disappear from view.

We traveled smoothly to the Warm Water Lake, where a hovercar was waiting on the helipad.

Lake Heart Island is not connected to the main city by land; it is located in the center of "Warm Water Lake," a vast artificial archipelago.

Warm Water Lake is constantly locked down by guards, prohibiting any civilian vessels from entering the water; only residents of Lake Heart Island may sail on it.

The airspace above Warm Water Lake is also covered by an air defense system, and any unidentified flying vehicles or drones entering will be warned; ignoring the warning results in immediate shootdown.

This level of defense ensures Lake Heart Island's absolute security and privacy.

Even when Rust Wall fell recently and half of New Moon City was besieged by rioters, no rioter could enter Lake Heart Island.

The big shots and the multitude are separated by a lake, lounging on sofas sipping red wine, indifferent to whatever chaos erupts in the Inner City below, as it's just the people down there fighting amongst themselves, a matter of no consequence.

Switching to the hovercar, the driver gently reminded: "Mr. Su Mo, we are about to head to Lake Heart Island, please fasten your seatbelt."

Su Mo inwardly grumbled: Couldn't they just send the hovercar to pick me up at my place? Instead, they have to send a motorcade first to make such a show...

The hovercar gradually ascended, flying steadily over Warm Water Lake, the full view of the lake scene slowly unfolding before Su Mo's eyes.
