Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Time slipped away like sand through fingers amidst intense training and anxieties about the planet Karen.

In the final two months, Mars and Earth were completely shrouded in the somber atmosphere of the eve of the great battle.

The streets were no longer bustling as they used to be; everyone was hurrying along, their eyes filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Every day, they would watch the live stream of Little Ka Elf's training sessions on Mars on their screens.

They placed all their hopes on Meng Chuan and the powerful members of the Green Gang.

Initially, some people in the comments section shouted "I want to join the war," but when they saw the live broadcast from Mars...

The Green Gang fighters, clad in "Predator" armor, grappled with Number 1 on the training field.

After scenes of smashing rocks with a punch and kicking an aircraft.

All sound disappeared.

They finally realized that the gap between themselves and these "extraordinary strongmen" was as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

They didn't even have the right to go and die, let alone participate in the war.

Political leaders from various countries have also restrained their previous attempts to "force the emperor to abdicate."

The technology and military strength that Meng Chuan now possesses are far beyond what any other regime can contend with.

Some even privately remarked, "If Meng Chuan wanted to become emperor, no one in the world would dare to oppose him."

No one dared to raise the demand for "open technology" anymore; everyone tacitly chose to "obey".

Because they knew that only Meng Chuan could stop the invasion from Karen Star.

On this day, the Martian sky suddenly darkened.

The once azure sky was now covered by a dark, oppressive shadow.

Billions of people around the world are watching in front of their screens right now, their hearts pounding.

The warships from Karen have finally arrived!

Meng Chuan stood in the square of the Mars base, with 200,000 Green Gang warriors in black armor behind him.

Everyone looked up at the sky, gripped their weapons tightly, and breathed heavily.

In the sky, twenty black warships, like giant crows, hovered slowly a thousand meters above the ground.

Each warship was the size of three to five football fields, and its surface gleamed with a cold metallic sheen.

The muzzle of the cannon was visible, radiating a suffocating pressure.

"coming……"

Meng Chuan clenched his fists, cold sweat seeping from the palms of his mecha.

He could sense that each warship contained a world-destroying power.

If even one of these ships were to land on Earth, it could probably destroy the planet.

Just as everyone was getting ready to face the first wave of attacks, the lead warship suddenly flashed a white light.

"Om-!"

The white light, like a laser beam, shot straight down from the bottom of the warship and landed on the open ground in front of Meng Chuan.

As the light faded, three men in the shape of light and shadow appeared out of thin air.

They were not physical entities, but rather descended through projection technology, clad in silver armor, with cold, stern faces and eyes that held the arrogance of those in power.

The man at the head was tall, and his armor was engraved with intricate patterns.

Their eyes immediately locked onto Meng Chuan.

Because Meng Chuan clearly looks like a leader.

Moreover, Meng Chuan was wearing a level three mecha, a unique product of the planet Karen.

His gaze was almost tangible, as if it could penetrate the mecha and see into Meng Chuan's heart.

"So strong."

Meng Chuan felt a chill run down his spine.

Although it was just a projection, Meng Chuan could already feel the terrifying aura emanating from it.

The next second, Meng Chuan felt a jolt in his mind, and an invisible pressure emanated from the other party's projection, surging into his mind like a tide.

That was far beyond his mental strength, carrying an overwhelming aura, as if it wanted to completely devour his consciousness.

"Commander, be careful!"

The warning from Little Card Elf urgently entered Meng Chuan's mind:

"He is at least a four-star warrior! His mental power is almost materialized. Never try to compete with him in mental power, or your consciousness will be directly crushed!"

Meng Chuan smiled bitterly to himself—this was entirely beyond his control.

The other party's mental power, like an all-pervasive tide, had forcefully flooded into his mind, carrying with it a cold scrutiny and contempt.

"Karen Star, four-star warrior, Locke."

The man in the lead suddenly spoke, his voice cold and mechanical.

And the mental force that Meng Chuan had been struggling to resist also receded like the tide.

"Hand over Zero's mothership and the Level 3 mech you're wearing. Everyone kneel down now and submit to me, and I may spare your lives and make you a vassal race of Karen Star."

Locke’s tone was unquestionably arrogant, as if he were bestowing a handout.

Moreover, he spoke fluent and clear Chinese.

It seems that he had already collected a great deal of information about Earth's civilizations before he arrived here.

In his eyes, humans on Earth and Mars are nothing more than ants of an inferior civilization.

They simply don't have the qualifications to compete with Karen Star.

Meng Chuan exhaled a heavy breath, his eyes revealing a resolute look.

Look directly into Locke's eyes:

"You want the mothership and mechs? Fine, but you want us to submit? No way!"

From Zero, Meng Chuan had already learned about the true nature of Karen Star.

This is a civilization that loves conquest.

The so-called vassal races are nothing more than livestock kept by the planet Karen.

They might be able to eke out a living, but they could never live with dignity.

Meng Chuan would rather die than live with dignity.

"Huh? You dare to defy me?"

A sudden burst of pressure erupted from Locke's body.

Nobody knows how a beam of light could unleash such pressure.

However, under this oppressive force, not only Meng Chuan, but everyone present felt as if a huge rock was pressing on their chest!

“If you do not submit, you, like everyone else here, will turn to ashes along with this star.”

Locke then added:

"Although I don't know how you killed Zero and seized his mothership, you should know that this planet can't withstand a single shot from me."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong sense of murderous intent.

Meng Chuan certainly didn't doubt his words.

Destroying Mars would be absolutely easy for him.

But Meng Chuan smiled faintly:

"Of course I know Mars can't stop your shot. But I know even more that you wouldn't dare!"

"Ok?"

Locke looked at Meng Chuan with slight surprise:

"You're betting on my kindness? You're wrong. In the words of you lowly carbon-based life forms, the law of the jungle is the universal law. Kindness has never existed in this universe!"

Everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Yes! In the face of absolute power, where does kindness come from?

Humans never preach kindness to a group of ants.

"Of course not. For you Karen aliens who live by plunder but consider yourselves superior beings, there has never been any kindness."

Meng Chuan spoke calmly, and asked in return:

"But this planet has things you need. Are you really willing to blow it up with a single shot?"

Upon hearing Meng Chuan's words, the man named Locke was clearly taken aback.

But then he laughed:

"It seems that you lowly beings know quite a lot."

"Fine! Then I'll be frank. Submit to me and mine Stardust Titanium Crystals for me, and I can at least guarantee that the flame of your Earth civilization will not be extinguished."

As he spoke, Locke pointed in the direction of Earth:

"Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to bombard this planet with a single shot, but I could destroy your homeworld with one shot..."
