Doomsday Roulette

For someone who once held great power, facing such a choice is quite painful.

In the past, the strength of the Ogre Chain far surpassed that of Cloud Summit Villa, and Wang Hanran's personal ranking was also above Ye Zhongming's.

But at some point, it was as if Cloud Summit Villa and Ye Zhongming had taken off like a rocket, leaving the Ogre Chain far behind.

By the time they realized this, the distance between them had grown so large that Wang Hanran felt despair.

However, he was not discouraged or disheartened before; he always believed that there was nothing that money couldn't solve. Perhaps, this process would be long, but there would come a day.

Whether in the apocalypse or before it, Wang Hanran had witnessed the magic of money countless times.

He didn't believe that with the Ogre Chain's profit-making ability, they couldn't eventually surpass Cloud Summit Villa, which was only supported by one person.

Even later, as Cloud Summit began to build markets, explore secret realms, open pharmacies, and sell delicacies, Wang Hanran still didn't lose heart; he continued to work quietly.

If the domestic market wasn't doing well, then he would open up foreign markets. If Cloud Summit's goods were rare, he would collaborate with Cloud Summit.

He didn't have any moral purism about not cooperating with Cloud Summit just because he wanted to surpass them; in fact, Wang Hanran even thought it would be more thrilling to rely on some of Cloud Summit's specialties to surpass them.

Previously, when Cloud Summit Villa suddenly surged ahead, growing stronger in the domestic area to an extent where rankings seemed meaningless, Wang Hanran had felt a sense of powerlessness.

He had even prepared himself to comfortably become a wealthy man.

But Ye Zhongming's sudden departure gave him hope.

Not just him, everyone in the domestic region knew that Ye Zhongming was the soul and foundation of Cloud Summit Villa. Once they lost him, Cloud Summit would decline at a visibly rapid pace.

At that time, that place would be a piece of fat meat, enough for all other forces in the domestic region to feast on.

There was indeed a hidden cooperation agreement at that time. Everyone was restless, preparing to strike against Cloud Summit at the right moment.

Of course, the previous attacks on Cloud Summit left a shadow in everyone's hearts, so this kind of alliance was secretly ongoing, with no one making it clear; everyone was just "understanding" each other.

Unexpectedly, before they could do anything to Cloud Summit, the temporarily leaderless Cloud Summit Villa went insane, starting to attack other forces and occupying large areas.

There were those who resisted, but at this time, everyone realized that Cloud Summit Villa, which they had once regarded highly, was now powerful to the point of being blinding.

It seemed that casually deploying a battle team could wipe out a major force; in this battle where Cloud Summit faced them all, they found themselves utterly powerless.

Many forces resisted while trying to unite with others, yet they were continuously defeated.

This was still under the circumstance that the so-called red dress guard, which was said to be fully equipped with eight-star gold gear, hadn't even made a move!

And many believed that with Cloud Summit’s nature, they certainly had more than one trump card left to play.

Many forces privately stated that the current Cloud Summit was so powerful that it left others feeling as if they had no knees.

The surrender of forces like Longevity Villa, the Five Rings Society, and Commander Mu was like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of other factions.

In terms of money, battle beasts, and warriors, Cloud Summit had received significant supplements. How could such a behemoth be defeated?

Now, as Cloud Summit occupied half of the domestic region in just a few months, forces like the Ogre Chain, which had spread nationwide, suffered tremendous losses.

At this point, they had to make a choice.

Perhaps this choice meant life or death.

The future of the Ogre Chain rested on Wang Hanran's shoulders.
