Chapter 78.2
Editor: Jodi
It was now 11 AM, two hours away from 1 PM.
And during these two hours, the topic’s heat continued to ferment, and more people placed bets. However, the bidding king still held a greater advantage proportionally.
Yuan Hao frowned as he looked at the bets on Starnet, “Father, the organizers are quite shrewd, using Gu Yun for the sake of traffic as a gimmick to divert attention that should solely be ours.”
The old man smiled faintly, his long eyes narrowing slightly, “It doesn’t matter. The higher the attention, the better, because once the bidding king experiences a significant rise, all the traffic will be ours!
What’s more when Gu Yun has a collapse in bet, his previously established image will instantly crumble. This is called— the higher you stand, the harder you fall.”
The old man sighed lightly, “You see, humans are such forgetful creatures.
They only remember your current failures and easily forget your past glories!”
Then his expression suddenly turned grim and he said with resentment, “Just like now. Who remembers the contributions of our Fifth Research Institute!
For the sake of researching mental power, all the experimental subjects were killed, and our Yuan family lost countless elites. Who remembers!”
“If not for our Yuan family’s research results, the Empire would still be at a rudimentary understanding of mental power.
But what did we receive in return?!
Emergency lockdowns, orders to cease experiments, even prohibiting our researchers from participating in core imperial projects—”
The old man sneered, “Do they think they can curb the Yuan family’s development this way? What a joke.
Once the perfect experimental subjects are researched, the imperial royal family, the five major families, the entire Empire will be ours!!”
The corners of Yuan Hao’s lips hooked up, “Father is wise. Experimental subjects SO1 and S02 are ready and synchronizing mental power.”
The old man responded, “Calculate the timing well, catch them off guard.”
Yuan Hao nodded, “Yes, father, I’ll make the arrangements.”
The old man, “Hm, you stay outside to respond, no need to return.”
Yuan Hao was shocked, “Father, what about you?”
The old man smiled faintly, “What’s there to be afraid of? They have no evidence. Even Gu Yuanzhao has to think twice before touching any of the heads of the five major families.”
Yuan Hao, “…then you have to be careful.”
The old man waved his hand, “Go quickly.”
At the same time, Gu Yuanzhao summoned his generals, “Starting now, initiate secondary protection, enhance patrols, and report any anomalies immediately.”
Several voices responded in unison, “Yes!”
Their eyes as they looked at the Major General were filled with absolute obedience and admiration.
Because anyone who had witnessed Young Master Gu piloting a mecha to slay alien beasts would be in complete awe and obedience!
Gu Yuanzhao’s expression was stern.
Within this week, he had already controlled the Yuan family’s people on Capital Star Planet and found their laboratory on the top floor.
Unfortunately, the useless eldest son of the Yuan family had no clue about his father’s plans, and the most important experimental subjects had vanished, leaving only some failed samples.
What would they do? Control others to capture Ah Jing?
However, Yan Ji had shown no recent actions, and even if he did, he couldn’t match Bai Jing’s mental power.
Meanwhile, the Yuan father and son’s actions were nothing unusual, as they just stayed at the venue or the hotel, not going anywhere else.
It seems, in order to capture the Yuan family in one fell swoop, he had to wait for them to act first.
With him around, no one should even think of touching a hair on the teenager’s head!

“Gu Yuanzhao, I’ve found a great opportunity to earn starcoins.”
After the two of them had lunch, Bai Jing turned his light brain on then showed him the bets on Starnet excitedly.
He still remembered how Gu Yuanzhao had earned 600 million starcoins by betting 1 billion starcoins on his Stone Gambling Points Battle against Ying Wenfeng.
En, it simply opened a whole new world for him.
Gu Yuanzhao chuckled, “So Ah Jing plans to bet on himself winning?”
Bai Jing nodded, “Hmm. But wouldn’t that be too obvious?
Never mind, I’ll transfer all my starcoins to you, you place the bets for me.”
Gu Yuanzhao’s voice was filled with obvious amusement, “There’s no need, consider it my investment.”
As he said this, he placed a 500 million starcoin bet on rough stone A02 rising significantly, causing there to be a reverse in odds making the ratio between the Yuan family and Gu Yun 1:1.2.
With only two hours left for betting, the final odds wouldn’t differ too much.
Bai Jing’s beautiful teal colored eyes sparkled, “Okay. Once the final results are out, I’ll calculate the share based on your investment.”
Gu Yuanzhao smiled as he rubbed the top of the teenager’s head, “En, it’s a deal.”

As the afternoon approached, the number of participants in the live stream room reached a staggering figure.
The organizers were overjoyed. Not only had this Jadeite Emporium’s transaction volume created astronomical numbers, even the live stream’s traffic was also at an unprecedented peak!
