Because these congressmen all had assets in New Covenant City, and they didn't know that Gu Ran's ability was telekinesis, and that Gu Ran approached them one by one, most of them were hoping for a lucky escape and did not flee New Covenant City.
When Gu Ran killed the last congressman involved in public, there was a sudden uproar among those who had been following him somewhat numbly.
"What should we do? Is New Testament City going to be conquered by one person? Thousands of years of history and honor will be destroyed in an instant!"
"This person from Canglong City is too strong. No matter who he is, he can't fight him even a little bit. Among them are many of the strongest people in New Covenant City. Is this really a realm that humans can reach?"
"What about the governor? Has he already left New Covenant City and fled?"
Everyone was talking about it, and suddenly someone remembered the general who had always been treated as a mascot.
In name, the ruler of New Testament City is General Governor Halis Johnson, who holds the highest authority in New Testament City.
But in reality, due to the strength of the Mellon family and old Mellon, the power of the governor was constantly snatched away by the Julyflower Hunters Club. In fact, it was constantly snatched away by old Mellon, the chairman of the Julyflower Hunters Club.
In recent years, the governor, Halis Johnson, has almost lost all real power and has basically disappeared from the eyes of the common people in New Covenant City.
At this critical moment when the city was almost destroyed, people finally remembered the commander-in-chief, Hales Johnson.
"I remember that the Johnson family did not participate in the persecution of the people of Canglong City, right?"
"Yes, all the people from Canglong City have come here, but it seems that they didn't kill any members of the Johnson family."
"I understand. Go and ask the commander-in-chief!"
Finally, someone realized that Gu Ran was not trying to kill everyone in New Covenant City, but was killing based on principles. The Johnson family was at least temporarily excluded from the killing list.
When the last member of the Julyflower Hunters Club was killed, Gu Ran turned and looked towards the governor's official residence.
Although he had already decided in his mind that the Johnson family would be the "new traitor", he still had to meet with Hales Johnson to put some pressure on him.
When Gu Ran arrived outside the governor's residence, he found that Halis Johnson was already waiting for him outside.
"Dear Governor of New Covenant City, do you have any advice for me?" Gu Ran stopped and said lightly.
Hailis shook his head, his face showing a hint of helplessness and humility: "I have only an infinite request, Lord Gu Ran, please stop, please stop destroying the New Covenant City."
Obviously, Helis did some research and got some information about Gu Ran, at least he knew his real name.
Hearing Helis' humble words, Gu Ran's face showed no smugness, nor did he show any sign of agreement.
Before, after a friendly exchange between the two sides, the New Covenant City obviously knew that it could not do anything to Gu Ran, and it might even be possible that all the strong men in the main city would be wiped out by one person.
By that time, even if the New Testament city had not been destroyed, it would have been almost destroyed.
Without strong men, even a wave of low-level ferocious beasts would pose a huge threat to New Covenant City.
Therefore, those forces in New Covenant City that were not affected bowed their heads, and they all went to the Johnson family, hoping that he could come forward to surrender to Gu Ran on behalf of New Covenant City.
Yes, they were going to surrender to Gu Ran alone.
Gu Ran used his actual fighting power to completely conquer the entire New Testament City!
The top chaebols had almost all their strong men killed by Gu Ran, and now they have basically become second- or third-rate chaebols. Some of them can't even maintain their second- or third-rate status and were destroyed by other originally lower-level families.
Only a few forces that did not get involved in this persecution were left, and they all gathered around Helis.
Helis felt the feeling of being a real governor for the first time in a long time.
Therefore, Helis did not avoid Gu Ran. Instead, after learning that Gu Ran was heading towards the governor's residence, he waited outside the residence in advance, as if waiting for the leader to inspect.
When Gu Ran saw Hai Lisi appear in front of him and wait for him respectfully, he knew that Hai Lisi was a smart man, a smart man who knew how to seize opportunities.
Gu Ran did not communicate with him in advance, but just killed the members of the Julyflower Hunters Club according to his own wishes.
But Helis guessed that he was coming here, and seemed to have guessed a lot about his real purpose, so he made this gesture.
Because if Helis had made a wrong judgment about Gu Ran, leading to wrong behavior, he would not be in this position now.
"It seems that you have accepted the reality." Gu Ran said straight to the point, "Then I will be frank. All the conditions I mentioned before must be agreed to, and New Covenant City cannot have any conditions attached."
Helis nodded and said, "If you don't admit the reality, you are deceiving yourself. I am not that kind of person, so I am here to negotiate peacefully with you on behalf of the New Testament City.
"I already understand the various conditions you mentioned, but I have a small question here, that is, what is the standard for liquidating the consortium? Will you liquidate all the consortiums, or tighten the policy and only liquidate a part of them for later? Or will you only liquidate the consortiums involved in this incident?"
Gu Ran looked at him coldly: "I only care about those financial groups that participated in the persecution of the people of Canglong City. As for other financial groups, I don't have that much energy to care about them."
In fact, when he met Old Mellon before, Gu Ran made clear his demands and position from the very beginning.
But unsurprisingly, old Mellon didn't want to listen, let alone obey.
Since Helis had already started searching for his information, it was impossible for him not to know these words, but Helis still asked this question.
This shows that Helis and the financial groups behind him are hesitant about him and want to get his personal confirmation again.
Because even if he really said that before, the situation at that time was different from this time. At that time, old Mellon and the Mellon family had not yet collapsed.
And now that the situation has changed so dramatically, they may be worried that he has changed the original conditions and expanded the scope.
This time it seems to be nonsense, but it is actually the final test.
If these small financial groups gather together and judge that Gu Ran intends to expand the scope of liquidation, they will definitely come up with other different ideas.
They will not necessarily fight him to the death, because they probably don't have the courage to do so. The most likely scenario is that they will abandon New Testament City, transfer their wealth, and start running away.
If they ran away, the New Testament City would be completely hollowed out.
Gu Ran didn't want to see the New Covenant City hollowed out. It would be more useful to keep a New Covenant City with its foundation intact - anyway, he could break through it with his own strength, so it wouldn't be a big threat.
That's why Gu Ran had no intention of changing his original conditions at all, and still kept them within the original scope.
Because he really had no interest in other consortiums in New Testament City, his purpose of coming here was very simple, which was to investigate the massacre of the research team of Lanxin University.
If it weren't for the fact that Qing Ji had successfully persuaded Old Melon to launch a frenzied persecution of the people of Canglong City and their ethnic groups in New Covenant City, Gu Ran would not have gone to such great lengths to kill them all.
"Lord Gu Ran, your tolerance is enough to make the entire New Covenant City ashamed. In order to show my sincerity in the peace talks, I am here to report a piece of news to you." Helis bowed to Gu Ran and said.
188. Only Gu Ran is the real "General Manager"! 4k
"Speak." Gu Ran's heart moved, but he didn't say anything.
Helis: "I believe that Lord Gu Ran should have understood the whole story of this matter, but there seems to be a hidden story. Whether you have noticed it or not, I must tell you that Envoy Qingji of Jidong City has a grudge against you for killing your husband.
"She hates you deeply and wants to avenge her lover all the time. At the same time, she also hates Canglong City deeply."
Gu Ran nodded in his heart. He already knew all this, but he was sure that Helis would not tell him these things.
These things are not worthy of his seriousness.
Hailis looked at Gu Ran's expression and continued, "Before coming to New Covenant City, she first massacred the research team of Lanxin University, and then had a secret talk with Old Mellon. Soon after the secret talk, Old Mellon immediately promoted the current bill to persecute the people of Canglong City.
"At first, many people in the July Flower Hunters Club clearly expressed their opposition to this. They felt that although Andes was dead, it was not necessary to be hostile to Canglong City. But then Old Mellon announced that the research team of Lanxin University died near New Covenant City, which immediately affected the attitudes of those opposing councilors.
"Because everyone knows the significance of that research team to Lanxin University, and the significance of Lanxin University to Canglong City. No matter who killed the research team, it will definitely be attributed to New Covenant City, and it will be considered as New Covenant City's revenge on Canglong City, and New Covenant City cannot deny it.
"Even if some high-ranking officials knew about it, it would be useless. The people at the bottom would still hate Canglong City, so this was Qingji's conspiracy, which accelerated the process of hostility between Xinyue City and Canglong City. However, what really made Xinyue City completely turn against Canglong City was..."
Having said that, Hailist paused.
"It was then that Qing Ji used immortality to lure the July Flower Hunters Club! And Old Mellon's attitude also indirectly confirmed Qing Ji's promise, so at that time the attitude of the July Flower Hunters Club changed 180 degrees and completely broke with Canglong City.
“On the surface, it seems that Qing Ji persuaded Old Melon to retaliate against the entire Canglong City in New Covenant City in order to avenge her own personal grudge, but I found something strange.
"Old Melon and Qing Ji signed a secret agreement, agreeing to escort all the Canglong City residents who were imprisoned in the concentration camp in Xinyue City to Jidong City, and to minimize the death of these Canglong City residents."
Gu Ran frowned slightly.
Helis smiled and said, "You should have thought about it. If it was really for revenge, why did they try to send the imprisoned people of Canglong City to Far East City safely? Shouldn't they kill as many as possible to vent their anger?"
"Unless she must send these people to the Far East City, she cannot disobey. In fact... she has been doing this for this purpose from the beginning. The so-called revenge is just a cover-up." Gu Ran continued with what Helis said.
Hailis nodded and gave Gu Ran a thumbs up: "Not bad, Master Gu Ran, you are really smart."
After thinking for a while, Gu Ran said: "Her revenge should be real, and at the same time, she really has another mission. Her hatred for Canglong City is not fake, but the mission should be more important to her. If the two conflict, she will definitely give priority to the mission. This should be the reason why she hates Canglong City, but still tries to save the people of Canglong City as much as possible."
Hailis said admiringly: "Master Gu Ran, you have a keen eye. I admire you deeply."
Gu Ran was speechless. He didn't expect that even though Helis had such strong power, he was still so good at flattering others.
However, it is a good idea not to hit a smiling person. Although Helis's deliberate flattery did not make Gu Ran fall for it, he did not dislike Helis either.
"Write a draft of the peace treaty in the name of the general commander and hand it to me. Then I will go back to Canglong City." Gu Ran looked at Hailis, "But I hope you can understand that although I am away temporarily, I can come back at any time. After I leave, you should know how to treat those people in Canglong City, right?"
A glimmer of joy flashed in Helis's eyes, and he quickly said, "Of course, I have just sent people to release all the innocent people imprisoned in the remaining concentration camps. All their property is also being counted and will be returned to them in the end. If there is any loss, New Covenant City will also give appropriate compensation.
"Whether you are from Canglong City or a descendant of Canglong City, they will all be properly resettled. If not, you can always come back and ask me or the Johnson family."
After hesitating for a while, Helis opened his mouth and asked, "I would like to ask, Master Gu Ran, what do you want to do with the Bounty Hunter Association?"
Bounty Hunters Guild
Gu Ran pondered.
Although it was not mentioned later, he announced that he would disband the bounty hunters as soon as he entered New Covenant City.
He has been thinking for a long time.
In fact, the Bounty Hunter Association is deeply rooted in New Testament City. It existed at the beginning of the city and then developed along with New Testament City.
The original purpose of establishing the Bounty Hunter Association was to facilitate the use of money to recruit psychics and warriors to resist the tide of ferocious beasts. The original intention was still very good.
However, with the development of the times, the threat of the beast tide has gradually decreased, and with the development of the commodity economy, bounty hunters have become more and more materialistic.
In fact, the Bounty Hunter Association is a more well-known force than the major consortiums in New Testament City.
Because the consortium, as a form of economic organization, became the mainstream in New Covenant City only after the development of Star Stone Technology, the Bounty Hunter Association was also completely controlled by the consortium.
