Chapter 83

"You should know a piece of news: my helicopters transported a batch of disaster relief supplies, as well as Starlink equipment to restore communications.

But all of them were refused landing, and this made me very annoyed!

Moreover, the six disaster-stricken states prohibit any private rescue; any rescue not organized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency is illegal rescue, and can result in a prison sentence.

You should understand my reaction when I heard this news……"

Ma Kaiyuan complained ruthlessly, not possessing the slightest reserve a World's Richest Man should have on the surface: "Someone needs these six states to restore communication signals, as well as livelihood."

Although he spoke very implicitly, Chen Yaozu understood: "So, six Red States that have been destroyed by disaster into a primitive society, and whose cell phone signals have been blocked, have already become the final chips that determine victory or defeat?"

The other end of the phone chuckled twice — Ma Kaiyuan's signature laugh: "Worthy of the Purple-robed Archbishop. I read your Doctrine; it is a very positive-energy tenet.

And I admire you, the courage to lead your followers into the disaster area to support and rescue; other Religious Sects simply don't have this kind of guts.

You know the reason: although they might be allowed in principle, it's best not to offend people if they can avoid it.

Of course, I don't have any political inclination.

Because I also worry that one day saying the wrong thing will get me taken away by a bullet, so I can only restrain my own words and deeds.

Even then, I can only vent a bit of my anger on Twitter, that's all!"

Chen Yaozu knew that being taken away by a bullet wasn't just idle talk; even the Big Golden Hair almost got Gan Gou, let alone a mere surface-level tycoon.

People like him are not worth a mention in front of those ancient consortiums and families.

After all, he's just a South African immigrant!

Once he gets Gan Gou, the massive fortune and tech companies Ma Kaiyuan has gathered are just a piece of fat meat to be divided up by others.

Even his eldest daughter……

Has there ever been a ruling family that this happened to?

This seems to be a warning, meaning: if I want to mess with you, you can't even protect your own children.

"So I can understand it as: this donation of yours is merely the normal sympathy and sense of justice a person should have.

Is that right?"

Chen Yaozu went with the flow and took over this topic.

"Yes, absolutely correct!"

Ma Kaiyuan felt talking to a smart person was just easy: "Before long, a Top-tier Lawyer will arrive at your Camp together with helicopters.

These helicopters will be temporarily employed by your Religious Sect; the supplies on them also belong to the Church; there will be legal Documents to prove this — of course, all these proofs need you to sign.

And at your request, heavy-lift helicopters will transport Starlink signal transmitter relay station assembly materials.

To help your Church personnel get rid of the inconvenience of walkie-talkies and satellite phones, so they can smoothly use mobile phones.

Of course, it can also conveniently benefit Ordinary People."

Chen Yaozu understood at once: borrow my Religious Sect's name to do your business? Isn't it just wanting this side to restore signals as soon as possible, connect to the internet, understand the outside situation, and also let the outside understand the inside situation?

And you said you don't want to talk inclination?

Isn't this just wanting to have it both ways?

Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Ma Kaiyuan immediately stated his price: "I heard, Mr. Purple-robed Archbishop, that your registered Twenty-fifth Patriarch of the Daoist Gate still doesn't have its own industry.

Even the registered location is just a gang's Territory.

For a proper Church, this isn't a good phenomenon.

If your Religious Sect owns its own Charity Foundation, I'm very willing to, besides charitable donations, also donate a piece of land, so your Religious Sect can have its own Church and land.

After all, for us, charitable donations can offset taxes.

And the registration of a religious Charity Foundation, for the Top-tier Gold Medal Lawyer who will soon fly in with the helicopters, is actually just a very small business.

What do you say? Mr. Purple-robed Archbishop!"

Good fellow, just directly smashing money at it!

Right now he wanted to say one sentence: do you think I'm poor?

Fine, judging people accurately! Thinking of this joke, Chen Yaozu couldn't help but let out a laugh: "For the sake of votes, you're really willing to spend capital! Looks like you very much support the Big Golden Hair!"

Ma Kaiyuan suddenly fell silent for a moment, but spoke again quickly: "Actually, I used to dislike him very much; he was too rigid, and moreover arrogant.

So yes, the previous me disliked him very, very much.

But later I discovered that although he has all sorts of shortcomings, he has one merit: he's a Normal Person!

He likes women, likes money, is a businessman, very redneck in personality, a traditional old white male! But he's a Normal Person!"

Having spoken a bit excitedly to this point, Ma Kaiyuan took a deep breath, then suddenly threw out a question: "Mr. Purple-robed Archbishop, you are an Eastern Person; I don't know how you Eastern People view Lgbtq+?"

Ah!!! Chen Yaozu suddenly felt a bit speechless; how did he get asked this kind of question? "Uh…… actually, Mr. Elron, sorry, I'm just one person, and cannot speak for all Eastern People and express my own likes and dislikes.

But if forced to say, actually Eastern People are comparatively traditional……

So, Eastern People's traditional cognition is: man and woman are not determined by what one thinks or says oneself, but primarily by a doctor's diagnosis and confirmation.

After all, sometimes for curing diseases and saving lives, the medications and surgeries and even many conditions used for men and women are not the same. Nothing is more authoritative than a doctor's diagnosis and confirmation.

Of course, some small groups with self-cognition disorders will also receive respect, understanding.

But we won't promote and support it; after all, everyone knows self-cognition disorder is a Disease.

Care for the patients, but we cannot treat the disease as a normal state! Respect them, care for them, but that doesn't mean letting other people get sick too.

This is just my understanding!"

Ma Kaiyuan listened, then took a deep breath again, and only then said: "Actually, I like Eastern People's traditions!"

"Right! I heard that although your followers are many, many were temporarily pulled in, and among those truly devout followers, only a minority possess Weapons.

I deliver the supplies to you; can you hold onto them? Need a batch of temporary bodyguards?

You know, the most important thing is the Starlink Signal Device; this thing might need people to guard it."

Regarding this question, Chen Yaozu expressed refusal — not needed.

He turned his head, looking at that Mirror on the Altar Table, wondering if this Mirror could be shattered if shot with a Bullet now?

【Ghost Mirror (Master Recognized): The Ghost Mirror's spirit Hu Ying, by a coincidence of fate, was sealed within by the power of heaven and earth; because of the power of heaven and earth, this mirror is sturdy and not easy to break.

Now, after days of absorbing ghost qi and resentful souls within, accumulating merit and undergoing creation's tempering of itself, it has become even more miraculous and sturdy, already possessing the embryo of a magic treasure (continue using this mirror to do good, accumulating merit can upgrade it).

Ghost Mirror Spirit: Hu Ying, resentful ghosts inside the Ghost Mirror that cannot enter reincarnation (36/36) can be upgraded.

Magic Treasure Divine Ability Embryo: Mirror Image Domain (can generate a mirror image domain similar to a ghost wall in a certain area to trap or confuse ordinary people; if the mirror ghost receives your dharma decree, it can trap those below a sixth-rank official)】

This is another harvest from these days of his running to so many places and saving so many people.

Using the ghost mirror to absorb the hostile qi, resentment qi, and death qi produced in the disaster areas and brought by the dead.

Thereby letting the living avoid being contaminated by death qi, resentment qi, and hostile qi and then getting sick or having bad luck, or even dying accidentally and the like.

Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods in the ancient East, there was the Battle of Changping, where a place buried twenty-some or forty-some ten thousand captives, and afterwards that place for hundreds or thousands of years still would not grow a blade of grass.

And now, in the regions Chen Yaozu passed through, the death qi, resentment qi, and hostile qi were all absorbed and cleaned up by the ghost mirror on the altar table before him; for the disaster victims, that is a tremendous merit.

Only they do not know, but heaven knows; every time a place is cleared, heaven bestows merit, and earth also bestows gratitude.

Thus this mirror was refined by merit into this state!

Actually Chen Yaozu is also quite dumbfounded, but no matter how dumbfounded, he knows he has struck it rich; not to mention he now has merit enveloping him! Right, coming to the disaster area to save people, besides letting the Brazilian female ghost gradually recover her spiritual intelligence, and the mirror ghost absorbing resentment qi and resentful souls, he himself also gained no small amount of merit from organizing rescues and saving people himself.

Also his forty-nine protector disciples under him, the karma originally on them was also covered over considerably by merit! "Go call Zhou Jiping and Wenzhou Fish over!"

Chen Yaozu called out to the obedient Ruen Person Uncle beside him; that's right!

This Ruen Person Uncle is older than him, even more than ten years older than his previous life's age; he should be fifty-something, nearly sixty.

Supposedly he came on a tourist visa, and after arriving tore up his passport and went black.

Someone able to get a tourist visa, at minimum has a house back home, and a monthly salary around that range.

Because to get a tourist visa you need to show tax documents of a certain level, deposit certificates, property deeds, and the like; they have to prevent you from coming over, going black, and not leaving.

That is to say, this uncle before us, domestically at minimum has a house, a car, and savings, and a monthly salary of at least 10,000 or 8,000 and above.

Because below 5,000 you don't pay tax!

If you just passed 5,000 they wouldn't approve you either; at minimum you need tax proof of 8,000 or 10,000 monthly salary and above for them to approve tourism! Of course, some get approved, but few!

But with such conditions, after coming to America, tearing up the passport and having no proper identity, can't even find work to do; no work, money doesn't last.

Had to go to Ding Fatzi Plaza to wait for people to come and give alms, one meal hungry one meal full; when Zhou Jiping went to find people, this uncle lied and said he was only in his forties, got tanned in America, and managed to blend in.

Perhaps beaten by life into recognizing reality, even though nearly sixty, working still hasn't slacked much.

Just that physical condition is after all too poor; a couple days ago he just strained his back.

Although after Chen Yaozu gave him acupuncture treatment, these two days he still can't do any physical labor.

He's not one of those forty-nine protector disciples after all, hasn't experienced Chen Yaozu's great seal white light baptism, so his recovery ability isn't that fast.

Can't do much work, can only follow beside Chen Yaozu as a messenger; after all phones aren't easy to use now, walkie-talkies sometimes need to save power too.

Soon, this uncle brought Zhou Jiping and Red Pole Wenzhou Fish over.

"Sir, what is it?"

Zhou Jiping and Red Pole Wenzhou Fish entered, nodded in signal, then asked.

"In a bit Ma Kaiyuan will have a helicopter send supplies and communications equipment; you go arrange manpower to clear out a place.

A Yu, you organize the gunmen, do well the defensive preparation work."

Zhou Jiping and Red Pole Wenzhou Fish nodded, and left.

The uncle to the side looked at the ghost mirror to the side, wanted to speak but stopped, finally unable to endure blurted out: "Sir, actually what you're doing now is not quite right!

Too rough!"
