108: Lu Chen's open scheme means the whole world has to follow his rules!

When Lu Chen's ultimate ultimatum, filled with god-like dominance and unquestionable authority—“The rules of the world shall be decided by my Xia Nation”—clearly echoed through the live broadcast cameras of all media outlets worldwide, right in front of the Pangu Technology headquarters building.

Burns and the Western Alliance bigwigs kneeling behind him all felt as if they had been struck by a black lightning bolt powerful enough to split the entire Solar System!

It fiercely struck the crowns of their heads!

They were completely petrified!

Join the Xia Nation's technical system?!

Openly and unreservedly hand over all their Western Alliance industrial standards, technical patents, and research achievements—which had led the world for over a hundred years—to the Xia Nation?!

This damn well isn't “cooperation” anymore!

This is clearly a naked, undisguised annexation!

This is about uprooting the Western Alliance's proud century-old foundation and swallowing it whole, sucking the marrow from the bones!

“No! Impossible!”

“We absolutely refuse!”

A hot-tempered Western Alliance General suddenly leaped up from the ground!

Pointing at the indifferent figure of the young man suspended in mid-air, he roared hysterically:

“You are declaring war on the entire Free World!”

“Even if we die!”

“We will never bow our noble heads to you, the tyrant of the East!”

His impassioned speech, filled with the spirit of “freedom” and “democracy,” instantly ignited the last bit of

courage in all the Western Alliance media reporters present!

“That's right! We will never compromise!”

“Freedom above all else!”

“Down with the Eastern Dragon! Defend the Free World!”

For a moment!

In front of the Pangu Technology headquarters building, passions ran high!

It was almost a comical spectacle, as if they were about to stage a “Crusades” right then and there!

However,

Facing the overwhelming, mountain-and-sea-like clamor of “justice” below.

The god-like young man in mid-air showed not the slightest ripple of emotion on his face.

He merely gazed calmly at the pathetic creatures below, who, in his eyes, were nothing more than “clowns jumping on a stage.”

He slowly shook his head.

Then, under the gaze of billions of people worldwide, he uttered a cold statement that made the blood of everyone present freeze.

word.

“Is that so?”

“Since you love ‘freedom’ so much.”

“Then,”

A cold, cruel curve appeared at the corner of his mouth!

“I shall grant your wish.”

“heavenly craft.”

[Present, Master.]

“All countries and regions that refuse to join the Xia Nation Technical Standard System,”

“From today onward, permanently add them to”

“the Pangu Technology Cooperation Blacklist.”

“Forbid the sale or authorization of any of our technologies to them.”

“Furthermore,”

His voice grew even colder!

“Notify all ‘allies’ who have already joined our technical system.”

“Starting today!”

“They are forbidden from exporting any product containing Pangu Technology's technical patents to any country or region on the blacklist. Violators will bear the consequences!”

BOOM!!!

This was no longer an ultimatum!

This was an unprecedented technological

Great Blockade! Great Cull! In an instant!

The entire world fell silent.

All the Western Alliance bigwigs and media reporters who had just been frantically clamoring to “defend the Free World” felt as if an invisible giant hand had clamped down tightly on their throats!

One by one, their faces turned ashen!

Their bodies went cold!

They simply couldn't believe their ears!

This devil!

He actually intended to use their own methods against them!

To impose an even more thorough and cruel

Technological Bullying upon them?!

“No! You can't do this!”

Burns's hoarse voice was trembling!

“This is anti-humanity! You are reversing the wheels of history!”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Lu Chen looked at the completely exasperated Western Alliance intelligence chief below him and smiled faintly.

“How do I recall...”

“...that phrase was just spoken by you not long ago?”

“What's wrong?”

“Now that it's happening to you, you can't handle it?”

“Is this what you call”

“the famous double standard?”

“You!”

Burns was instantly rendered speechless!

His old face flushed purple like an eggplant!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen acted as if he hadn't noticed Burns's discomfited expression at all.

He simply turned around calmly, standing on the anti-gravity skateboard beneath his feet, which was full of futuristic technology, and slowly flew toward the distant sky.

Leaving behind only a silhouette filled with solitude and pride.

And a final declaration, full of god-like dominance and unquestionable authority.

“My rules have been established.”

“Those who wish to board my ship must obediently comply.”

“Those who do not wish to board, that is fine too.”

“Please continue clinging to your ridiculous ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’.”

“In that old era, which I personally eliminated.”

“Wait to be crushed”

“mercilessly by the wheel of history.”
