Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: Schemes & Support

Rover Base.

In a dark, secluded corner of the Rover Base, a group of men and women huddled together, their faces twisted with greedy intent.

One of them, an older man with graying hair, spoke in a low voice, his eyes gleaming with malice.

“Did you hear? That Boss Su, she’s old. People say she has a fortune that would make even the richest man jealous,” he whispered, glancing around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

A younger woman nodded, her lips curling into a smirk.

“Yeah, and she’s been giving away apartments and making deals like it’s nothing. She must be sitting on a mountain of wealth.”

Another man, his arms crossed over his chest, leaned in closer.

“We could take advantage of her. I mean, who would suspect us? She probably won’t even notice if we slip a few things past her.”

The older man grinned, showing yellowed teeth.

“Exactly. She’s just an old lady. We can play on her sympathy, maybe pretend we’re too old or sick to move. She’ll probably feel sorry for us and give us even more.”

A woman sitting nearby raised an eyebrow. “You really think that’ll work?”

“Of course,” the man replied confidently.

“Old people are soft-hearted. We’ll act pitiful, and she’ll fall for it. Once we’ve got her trust, we can start squeezing her for more. And when the time’s right, we’ll take over.”

The group chuckled quietly, their minds filled with schemes.

They had seen Su Jiyai from afar, with her veil and quiet demeanor.

To them, she seemed like a frail, elderly woman—an easy target for manipulation.

Meanwhile, in another part of the base, a small group of young, handsome men sat together, their expressions smug as they discussed their plan.

One of them, a man with sharp features and slicked-back hair, was the first to speak.

“Guys, I’ve got a brilliant idea. Do you know that Boss Su? She’s filthy rich, owns a base bigger than a city, and she’s old, right?”

The others nodded, intrigued.

“So,” the man continued, “what if one of us seduces her? Think about it. She’s probably lonely, and if we play our cards right, we could inherit her entire fortune.”

A blonde-haired man leaned forward, grinning.

“You’re saying one of us should become her lover? That’s… actually not a bad idea.”

“Exactly,” the first man said, his voice full of confidence.

“I mean, she’s old. We just need to act like we’re interested in her and make her feel special, and before long, she’ll trust us. Once we’re in, we’ll have control over everything she owns.”

Another man, who had been quiet until now, raised an eyebrow.

“But what if she’s not interested?”

The leader of the group scoffed.

“Please, she’s old. Old people get lonely. She’ll be flattered by the attention. Besides, with all the money she has, she’ll want someone to help manage it. We just have to make her think we’re that someone.”

The men laughed, imagining themselves living in luxury, all thanks to their plan.

They didn’t see Su Jiyai as a person—just a means to an end, someone they could take advantage of for their own gain.

Meanwhile, in yet another part of the base, the mood was different.

The people who had been speaking with Su Jiyai earlier were now sitting together, talking excitedly.

“I think Boss Su is amazing,” one man said, his voice full of admiration.

“She’s done so much for us. I’m just… really grateful.”

“I agree,” another woman said, nodding.

“She gave us a place to stay, and she didn’t have to. People like her are rare. We should do something to show our thanks.”

“I don’t know about you guys,” a young man said, leaning forward with intensity in his eyes, “but I’m willing to do anything to repay her. She’s helped me and my family so much. I’ll protect her with my life if I have to.”

The others nodded in agreement, their faces lighting up with determination.

They could see the kindness in Su Jiyai’s offer, and they were ready to repay it in any way possible.

“She’s taken a risk by trusting us,” one of the older men said, looking around at the group.

“And now it’s our turn to watch her back. We’ll protect her, make sure no one tries to harm her.”

Some of the people who had already decided to sell their houses or move into the apartments whispered to each other, making plans to protect their new home and their benefactor.

They talked about how they would form groups to make sure Su Jiyai stayed safe from those who might want to take advantage of her.

“I swear, no one will harm her on my watch,” one of the women said fiercely, clenching her fists.

…………..

In another part of the base, a small group of citizens approached Ge Chunli. They looked serious and concerned.

“Leader Ge,” one man said, his voice low, “we’ve been thinking about Boss Su. She’s… old. And with all these people trying to get close to her, well…”

“What do you mean?” Ge Chunli asked, sensing their urgency.

“We’re worried about her safety,” another woman chimed in.

“There are people who will try to take advantage of her, especially with the power she holds. People like that… they’ll stop at nothing.

We think you should assign some guards around her, just to make sure she’s protected.”

Ge Chunli nodded thoughtfully, clearly taking their concerns seriously.

“You’re right. I’ve already been considering that. I’ll have a few men follow her, and make sure no one tries anything suspicious. She’s not just anyone, and we can’t afford to take any chances.”

The citizens looked relieved.

“We just want her to be safe,” one of them said.

“Don’t worry,” Ge Chunli assured them.

“I’ll make sure she’s well protected. No one’s going to get close to her without us knowing about it.”

As Ge Chunli turned to leave, the citizens watched him with a hopeful look in their eyes, glad that someone was taking the matter seriously.
