Chapter 698: Chapter 692: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey

But even Mars was unthinkable for Finn Lewis’s parents. Upon hearing this, Hazel Lewis forced a bitter smile before speaking a while later, “Alright, I was just joking with you. We really don’t understand any of this or know what advice to give you. We definitely won’t mention it to anyone. Just don’t mention any specific details either, especially to our relatives.”

“I know, Dad,” Finn nodded his agreement.

“Well, sort out the rest on your own. But there is one more thing. Kay has been staying with us for quite a while now. Regardless of whether you’ve found an alien spaceship or something else, when are you planning to marry her? The wedding has to take place eventually,” Hazel looked at Finn, waiting for an answer.

Kay blushed at hearing this. Although she had been open about her relationship with Finn and even started calling his parents “Mom and Dad”, she felt quite shy discussing it in front of them.

“Mom, we will have our wedding as soon as our home construction finishes. It’s almost done. Once it is, we will start living there. And then, I’ll marry Kay,” Finn sincerely replied, making a promise to Kay.

“Ok, take care of these matters on your own,” Hazel hesitated as if wanting to say more, but refrained. Finn understood his father was concerned about Emma Lewis, but since Emma was already aware, Finn didn’t elaborate further. He had a lot to sort out anyway.

The Heritage Area, where Finn was born and the location of the Virtual World Corporation’s industrial park, was originally known as Bale City, also called Legacy City. Due to administrative changes accompanying the establishment of the industrial park, it had now come to be known as Dream City.

This new name was given by the national and international community. The country’s entire industrial power was being directed here. Infrastructure projects, like high-speed rail and highways that would usually take at least three years to construct, were nearing completion and beginning operations. The rail and highway capacity had also been significantly expanded.

The Heritage Area’s terrestrial transportation capacity had increased by more than 300%. Even if compared to the capital, this dense traffic network is still more than enough. Concurrently, several factories were completed within the Virtual World Corporation’s industrial park, primarily focusing on the new graphene material industry. All sorts of technology, including graphene batteries, graphene screens, and graphene CPUs were being developed here.

Particularly, the advent of graphene batteries caused a significant drop in global oil prices. Besides, the appearance of the graphene CPU revolutionized computer performance, breaking Moore’s Law. In just two years, performance levels increased nearly fifty times—a monumental improvement. However, this leap couldn’t be extended globally due to the limited production of graphene CPUs. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Nevertheless, manufacturers around the world had started reaching out to the Virtual World Corporation, especially individual PC hardware companies looking to make related computer hardware. As for the software, Finn was not worried. With Olivia Thatcher and Luna Starfield’s support, they could create a system similar to existing computer operations, compatible with all existing software on the market.

Dream City was the external alias for the city. Though construction was ongoing, the blueprint revealed that upon completion, all residential and supporting facilities would be quite dreamy and futuristic, unlike any modern city.

However, in terms of Flame Nation’s administrative arrangements, this area would be governed as a separate city, called Heritage City, a term originated from a long-standing local designation. The city, despite being newly established on undeveloped land, enjoyed certain privileges—although belonging to the autonomous region, it was directly under central government control. But for now, Heritage City remained an unrealized vision. The top-level battle also required considering the opinions of the Virtual World Corporation.

The reason was simple. After the completion of Heritage City, nearly all of its estimated million inhabitants would be employees of the Virtual World Corporation. As time passed, their families would also move here, and a significant portion of them would gradually become employees of the Virtual World Corporation as well.

After discussing with his parents, Finn then spent time with Kay alone as Hazel and Fay Wells claimed they were heading to visit Finn’s grandfather and left home. Just Finn and Kay were left at home.

Despite their significant influence in the country, Woodson Wood, was a leading figure among his peers, used to bullying others yet rarely getting bullied himself. But now, Woodson had been taken down a peg.

The issue was, Jack Lewis knew Finn well, or at least he thought he did. Jack didn’t believe that Finn had no idea who Woodson was. Even though what Woodson did was underhanded and went too far, Finn’s response was also quite severe.

It was obvious that Finn was making an example out of him, killing the chicken to scare the monkey. But Jack was unsure if Finn’s assertiveness had gone so far that it was no longer reasonable. Woodson merely spoke, and Finn broke his leg in response.

Plus, Finn even said that if Woodson were to retaliate, he would kill him outright. Jack didn’t think Finn was joking. Having been humiliated this much for the first time, even the Wood Family would be wary of Finn. Yet they would not stand idly by and swallow their anger. If they did that, they would lose their reputation in the country and have nowhere to go.

The entire situation was strange. Jack had no intelligence regarding how Finn appeared there. He had disappeared in Proudshire yet suddenly resurfaced domestically. Their intelligence department hadn’t picked up anything.

After collating the documents on hand, Jack suddenly thought of something, looked up at his deputy, and asked, “Is there any new response from Hustle Spot?”
