Chapter 1898: Chapter 1898

As the situation grew more severe, even Du You, who had been absorbing the Origin’s power to enhance his own strength, was alarmed. On this day, Du You came out and rarely looked at the reports, which were all about such matters.

"Recently, is everyone discussing issues of power struggles? Some tier-seven mass-produced weapons are enough to make them act this way. If tier-eight could be mass-produced in the future, it truly couldn’t be simply revealed."

"Your Majesty jests. How could tier-eight be mass-produced, unless the Starry Sky Emperor himself advanced to tier-ten?"

Because of Du You, the people at home seemed to gradually believe that there was a tier-ten level. Of course, such words could only be spoken at home; when they were outside, they wouldn’t casually say anything.

Du You waved his hand, "Not necessarily; who knows, maybe one day I’ll reach tier-ten."

It was indeed uncertain, as Du You currently didn’t feel any bottleneck or difficulty. As long as the resources were sufficient and his strength reached the necessary level, breaking through barriers was always smooth sailing.

Even the two sisters, many times, felt they needed to rely on his power to move forward; their own advancements had somewhat reached a plateau. There was no help for that; it was an innate foundation that couldn’t be changed.

If the two sisters were to improve by themselves, who knows how long it would take. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

"You two are back. Seems like you’ve been busy lately," Du You said with a smile.

Just returned, Li Mengyao and Xi Qianxue saw Du You, and a hint of joy unmistakably flashed across their faces. Du You had spent too much time in closed-door cultivation and planning, leaving less time to spend with them.

Everyone knew Du You always wanted to attempt reaching the legendary peak of tier-nine. Only at this level would they not fear any danger. Because even other tier-nines, even with the augmentation of their world, would at most reach the tier-nine peak. With Du You’s combat power, within the same level, he truly feared no one.

"It’s just as well that you’re back; you should sign this."

"What is this? Internal cleansing plan? Are there that many issues?"

Even Du You’s brows furrowed. Although the company was no longer useful to him now, it was one he had painstakingly established, and he had poured a lot of effort and that of his family into it.

Even to help some relatives and friends improve, he still needed to use it. Du You couldn’t completely abandon the company. Perhaps in the future, he might be indifferent, but not now.

Du You wasn’t that old to have reached the unfazed state of others.

With his growing power, Du You’s mental age had always remained very youthful.

"I didn’t expect that so many people would cause trouble for me. Fine, I agree, start the cleansing."

Without wasting words, Du You signed directly. This was the highest order. As a direct command from Du You, no one would oppose it. The two were very satisfied, putting away the items without setting off immediately.

After spending a few days with Du You, they finally began their operations.

When the document bearing Du You’s name was revealed, those tier-eight powerhouses closed their mouths and fully cooperated. Du You’s might was such that even typical tier-nines dared not confront him directly.

It was known that quite a few tier-nines had already perished at Du You’s hands. Among the tier-nines, Du You in his later stage was an absolute powerhouse. Moreover, Du You’s side was far from just a single tier-nine.

Thankfully, the powerful weren’t involved in these matters.

But there were some tier-sevens who weren’t wise, and they were entirely entangled in it. In pursuit of their interests, they didn’t hesitate to sacrifice the company’s benefits, a behavior everyone despised. Now that evidence had been found, while they couldn’t be killed directly due to their strength, some punishment was still possible.

Of course, the severity of the punishment would depend on the severity of their offenses.

With the issuing of the command document, what followed was a thunderous purge. In just one day, countless upper and middle-class members were arrested, and some problematic lower ranks were also identified.

The sisters’ brother himself was a junior upper class member within the company, having just reached tier-six through his own efforts. At least among the Professionals, he was middling.

"I didn’t expect such issues within the company. Thankfully, I wasn’t involved."

Due to his sisters, he did not lack resources and could see the situation objectively. As the company’s disturbances grew, he recognized that something was amiss, knowing that Du You would not mismanage the company so poorly.

In all these years, for it to have escalated to this extent was indeed a first.

Thus, he dared not touch these matters. Sure enough, in a few days, his two sisters discreetly sent him warnings. Now, witnessing this, he understood that the upper management intended to cleanse the company.

Luckily, over the years, he feared upsetting Du You and did not engage in any unnecessary actions. Thus, upon investigation, no issues were found with him. Moreover, due to his connection with his sisters, many upper-class members knew his identity and didn’t trouble him much.

Now, he could watch the storm, seeing each of those unfortunate individuals being purged.

Quite a few rotten ones he had long disapproved of. However, the lower-tier issues couldn’t be brought to the attention of his sisters or Du You, which was why it had waited until now. Now, these culprits exposed themselves.

Now they knew whose company this was, and whose word was final. Sadly, they realized too late. Their previous conduct had been too extreme, and now repayment was due.

These internal issues within Du You’s Other World Development Company immediately startled all outsiders. This company’s vast scale spanned many worlds, covering the entire earth. Due to Du You, its influence was massive, and it wasn’t an exaggeration to call it the largest company on earth.

However, unexpectedly, so many people were purged at once, including many in the upper class and even some tier-seven powerhouses faced punishment. The strength of this action was impressive, deeply shocking outsiders.

Even he had started internal cleansing, so who knew if the alliance or one’s own forces would also begin such purges? Or perhaps, observing this situation, would the upper echelons likewise want a cleanse, which could be dangerous?
