Chapter 1897: Chapter 1897

"I didn’t expect these guys to only care about their own interests," Li Mengyao said helplessly.

Xi Qianxue nodded slightly, "It’s not just about being self-centered; they’re also very brainless. Don’t they understand that the strong need to be respected? Yet they still complain about this and that."

It’s really "Promote rice, fight rice revenge," and they don’t see that I’ve left them a tenth. A company, just one faction among humans, having a tenth of the share is already the most, what else do they want?

The two of them were somewhat regretful at this time. Had they known these people were , they wouldn’t have fought for them. This originally belonged to Du You, yet they treated it as the company’s, as something they deserved. I really don’t know what to say.

No way around it; people are never satisfied, and there are always some people who think too highly of themselves. Such people, when they voice their opinions, those vested interests will very consciously come together to speak for them, turning into a group of clueless folks. When everyone says it’s right, they think it should be.

Even as Professionals, even with a certain level of power, these people are still unable to escape this strange cycle.

No way around it; when interests reach a certain level, the problems caused by excessive interests become very hard to cut off. Some normally shrewd folks at times also become muddleheaded.

Think about it; when one’s strength was relatively low, wasn’t there a similar situation?

Why did it become forgotten when I became strong? These years of doing such things often, it seems like I’ve been led by the nose a bit.

Perhaps, I should find some time to relax properly and think about what to do in the future.

The people in the company still don’t know that their actions have completely disappointed the two top leaders. Such internal discussions are escalating and even expanding in scale.

Some people are even rallying the masses, wanting to talk to those seventh-tier and eighth-tier powerhouses and get them to continue coming to Du You’s side to fight for interests. What is this? Are they already relegating Du You outside the company?

When fighting for interests from Du You, don’t they know that the company is Du You’s own?

Knowing this situation, the upper class became even more disappointed in these people. Some of the relatively clever eighth-tier and seventh-tier powerhouses also didn’t want to get involved in such matters and simply let them make their fuss.

Upon discovering this, Xi Qianxue said calmly, "Don’t worry about them, let them fuss more. It’s just right to see how many in the company have this mindset, how many parasites there are. Our company’s development has been too fast; it’s time for a good cleanup." Xi Qianxue meant to use this opportunity for a thorough cleanup.

"You’re right. The company’s system needs some reforms. Some people have too much power, so much so that they can’t figure out whose subordinates they are any longer. Our company shouldn’t become a tool for their profit-making."

Although Du You might scorn at this, it is something they built from scratch, holding great significance for them. And it’s also their own property; how can those overly self-serving people occupy it?

While the internal commotion was happening in Duo’s company, various major alliances also began fighting for interests.

The upper echelons of the five major alliances rarely gathered in person. That’s right; this time, it wasn’t through holographic projection but in person.

"In any case, the Dark Venerable comes from our Asia Alliance, so we, the Asia Alliance, should take half of this technological weapon share, at least half. This is non-negotiable."

"No, we of the American Alliance have the strongest technological power. Only our American Alliance can maximize these weapons; thus, we demand a larger share," the representative of the American Alliance declared loudly.

"I don’t oppose Asia Alliance taking a bit more since indeed you are the strongest. But taking half is unacceptable; we have five alliances in total. Why should you take half? That’s unreasonable,"

The European Alliance loudly voiced their opinion, subtly acknowledging Asia Alliance’s strength.

They are now united to resist the Asia Alliance. If they have inner conflict now, it won’t end well later. Others also got the gist, so they quieted down a little. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

Unlike some brain-damaged people, they understand that since Du You has already given orders, and Xi Qianxue and Li Mengyao agreed, nothing else matters except for the matter of shares now.

But when it comes to interests, even these elites get muddled, hence the struggle began.

Ninth-tier powerhouses completely ignored these matters, while eighth-tier powerhouses shook their heads watching the farce. Small wonder why with such mindsets they reach the pinnacle of power yet lack real strength.

These people don’t understand that power is external; what’s truly effective is one’s own strength.

If one can reach the eighth tier, one could ignore these so-called alliances entirely.

Yet while they might ignore it, seventh-tier arms are too tantalizing for those at the seventh tier. A seventh-tier weapon can directly double one’s combat strength, if not more, and provide crucial defense in critical moments. Those seventh-tier powerhouses who’ve cooperated with protectors know how powerful these things are.

Or rather, the bitter struggles in the alliances are actually egged on by them in the background.

Regardless of mutual exploitation or promises of benefits, in short the alliance’s insides are now a chaotic mess of competing demons.

Initially, these individuals came to fight, but gradually, even those worlds beyond Earth began joining the fray. They aren’t forming their own forces but know their say is limited.

Thus, they joined the troops of the five major alliances or collaborated with them, to secure a larger share together. How they split it internally is their business, unrelated to outside issues.

This debate has been ongoing without interruption since it began. Eventually, due to the media onslaught, even ordinary Professionals and regular people started supporting their favored sides.

During this period, the public discourse focused entirely on how those technological weapons should be distributed.

If you think about it, though Du You has stirred up big trouble before, this time’s impact is undeniably the largest. Many civilians, unable to win the argument, even resorted to fighting, and brawls have been quite common lately.
