Chapter 446: Fraud Progress! Warlord Withdraws!

Fraud Progress: /

Since the Talent Evolution, Su Yang has been able to sense the proportion of lies that are "believed."

He tried it at that masquerade ball; now he controls public opinion and dominates newspaper pages, and the Deception effect is outstanding.

"Only thirty thousand people believe it?" Su Yang thought to himself.

Jinshan Daily is the most authoritative news agency in Jinshan City, and since its founding it has rarely made mistakes.

Su Yang spared no expense, throwing three hundred million to bribe the Editor-in-Chief, laying all sorts of groundwork, all for today!

From the moment he heard that Jinshan indeed had such a matter until now, everything he has done is not baseless.

Whether it was selling antiques, killing Chen Gongjin, confronting the Warlord…

A single matter alone is insufficient to let the plan proceed smoothly.

Just like dominoes, toppling the first tile makes the subsequent ones fall in order.

There were also some coincidences, such as having Yan Dongyun feign spreading the news.

Originally Su Yang simply intended to target Donghai Hall and Mingguang Building.

He never expected them to be colluding with the Search Army.

Precisely because of that, he completed the final puzzle piece, sparking chaos!

Xiao Wenxue is indeed scheming, but he never imagined that all of this was under Su Yang's control.

The only surprising thing… is his Innate Talent—'Betting Duel'!

He risked his life on the gamble, even expending a precious All-Purpose Recovery Injection.

Su Yang appeared to step into the trap he set, but in reality Xiao Wenxue fell into his scheme.

Thanks to him, Su Yang stayed away from the battlefield and could briefly remain detached.

"I slept very happily last night, thanks to Guardian Xiao for guarding me," Su Yang's mouth curved slightly upward.

Xiao Wenxue replayed the news several times, his eyes gradually turning incredulous.

He never could have imagined Su Yang would make this move.

"Deliberately creating public opinion chaos, Brother Su, what a fine technique," Xiao Wenxue said, his face grim, each word halting.

"Likewise, aren't you also good at this game? I merely copied the cat to paint the tiger, apologies to everyone," Su Yang said.

Xiao Wenxue snorted coldly, "You don't think a single paragraph can change the situation, do you?"

"What I want is not change, but adaptation!" Su Yang said calmly.

"Just you? A single news piece to make the Warlord withdraw troops?" Xiao Wenxue sneered abruptly.

At that moment, another Little Brother of the Qinglong Gang ran over and whispered into his ear.

Xiao Wenxue frowned at the words, "What did you say?"

"Is Xicheng District full of gold?"

"The information is confirmed accurate; the brothers have already inspected the site," the Little Brother said.

"How large is the scale?"

"Based on the gold acquisition intel, it's estimated to be several tons."

"Several… tons?"

Xiao Wenxue turned his head toward Su Yang's half‑smiling face, instinctively clenching his fist.

"Brother Su, such a grand gesture—spilling massive blood to fabricate false information, handing over his own wealth,"

"Who let Guardian Xiao deliberately guide the Warlord to harm the people? I spent money to avert disaster, also to ease your conscience,"

"This petty trick you could devise, I advise you to give up this desire early; if South City District doesn't locate Jinshan in a day, the Warlord will never withdraw troops!"

"Is that so?"

Su Yang closed his eyes, feeling the Fraud Progress, and his mouth couldn't help but form a slight curve.

Fraud Progress: /

"Whether they withdraw or not depends on how fiercely this fire burns; now it seems my beautiful dream may not be far from becoming reality," Su Yang said with a smile.

Xiao Wenxue saw his confidence, even bordering on arrogance, felt a surge of irritation, was about to retort, when a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared around them.

They were seen forming neat ranks, leaving this area.

Tanks, Armored Vehicles, Troop Transport Vehicles, and so on.

"Go ask what's happening," Xiao Wenxue felt a faint sense of something wrong.

A man of considerable standing in the Qinglong Gang jogged forward to negotiate; after obtaining the result, his face instantly turned as gloomy as water.

When he returned, Xiao Wenxue couldn't wait and asked, "What did they say?"

"Guardian, they have withdrawn…"

"What!?"

Xiao Wenxue's complexion changed abruptly, and he said gravely, "We had an agreement: we would not stop until we find Jinshan; how can they backtrack so quickly?"

"The corpse mentioned in the news has been identified by specialists; it is the Warlord Leader himself…"

"Impossible!"

Xiao Wenxue sharply turned his head toward Su Yang, and upon seeing his smiling face, took a deep breath, striving to stay calm.

"How could the Warlord Leader be left as a corpse in the wilderness? Do those Warlord men have no brains?"

"Actually… it's not just this; intel from Xicheng District says they found a substantial amount of gold at the factory area where the earthquake occurred."

"That place is already in chaos; many have rushed in to pan for gold. If the Warlord doesn't act, a huge fortune may be lost."

Xiao Wenxue felt as if struck by lightning, his eyes full of disbelief.

Jinshan… in Xicheng District?

Absolutely impossible!

Su Yang gazed at his ever‑changing expression and asked curiously, "Guardian Xiao, have you encountered any vexing matter? Why not tell me, perhaps I can devise a good plan to ease your worries."

"The best way to relieve me is for you to die right now!" Xiao Wenxue said coldly.

"Well, sorry, you could have killed me, but you chose to bet with me; now we can only judge win or loss by the outcome." Su Yang said with a helpless expression.

"You…"

Xiao Wenxue gritted his teeth; his proud Innate Talent had become Shackles that bound him.

Looking at Su Yang's face piled with a laugh, he wanted to blast him with a gun right now.

But the Innate Talent is limited; before the result appears, no one can affect either side.

Including the holder of the Innate Talent!

This moment perfectly illustrated moving a Stone to smash one's own Foot.

He never imagined Su Yang could stake such a huge sum, piling a massive amount of gold in the Xicheng District Factory Area.

And that happened to be the site of the earlier Earthquake.

Others are unaware, but Xiao Wenxue knows the inside story well.

Luo San is the one he sent together with other players.

It wasn't an Earthquake at all; it was clearly caused by the enhanced Gravity.

Thinking that his scheme had become a wedding dress for Su Yang, Xiao Wenxue felt an unnamed fire flare within him.

"I'm very curious—how did you transport such a huge batch of gold? If I'm not mistaken, the gold scattered on the streets was your doing, right?" Xiao Wenxue asked.

"To be honest, I'm also surprised; I truly didn't order this," Su Yang said.

"Not you? Could it be that gold just spontaneously emerged from the ground for no reason?"

"Guardian Xiao, you really are one who forgets important matters; have you forgotten that I have someone behind me skilled in Deduction?"

"Huang Hua?"

Xiao Wenxue suddenly realized, a flash of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

Su Yang said with a laugh, "Although he and I didn't discuss concrete tactics, he can Deduce what I think based on the situation and put it into action."

"You may not know, but Yin Yun already brought a batch of gold back the day before yesterday; that was my gift to the Floating Life Business Association."
