The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

As night fell, the eagle-winged mermaids hung upside down on the long arms of the mecha. They opened their short snouts covered with fine teeth and spit out glowing balls of flesh from their throats that hung on the tips of their tongues. The bright white light illuminated a small area around Ai Wanxin and the others.

Further away, there are giant mechas standing silently like mountains.

Xue Muqing frowned, and Fu Meng asked, "What do you mean?"

Sheng Xiuming turned to Ai Wanxin, raised his hand to adjust his glasses, but found nothing.

He laughed and said, "Have I ever told you what job I did before the end of the world?"

You're asking this question, but they haven't said much to each other in total?

But Ai Wanxin knew that Sheng Xiuming was looking for someone to talk to, so she said readily, "No, what do you do for a living?"

Sheng Xiuming seemed to be lost in his memories. After a long while, he said, "Before I encountered that terrible car accident, I worked as a hedge fund manager in the central financial district of Guanghui City for fifteen years."

"At that time, I was already the chief investment officer of Poseidon Global Management, the world's largest fund management company."

“During the last Speaker election, I joined Feng Jingyi’s campaign team and became one of his economic advisers.”

what?

Ai Wanxin widened her eyes slightly. This was really something she had not expected.

But what does this have to do with him stealing Xue Muqing's meteorite? Is he still working for Feng Jingyi?

Obviously, not only Ai Wanxin didn't understand, but Xue Muqing and Fu Meng didn't understand either, but they didn't interrupt him this time.

Sheng Xiuming went on to say, "More than 2,000 years ago during the Warring States Period, the wealthy businessman Lü Buwei met the Qin hostage Yiren on the streets of Handan, Zhao State. He used all his wealth to help him become the King of Qin. Lü Buwei himself became the Prime Minister of Qin, and was granted the title of Marquis Wenxin, with a fief of 100,000 households. This also left a legend for future generations that rare goods are valuable."

"Although Feng Jingyi cannot be considered a rare commodity, since ancient times, the top investments have always been inseparable from the struggle for the highest power."

“The wealthy use their resources to intervene in parliamentary elections in order to promote policies that benefit their own interests.”

"In the last round of the Speaker election, they raised more than 30 billion in total to send Feng Jingyi to the Bingqiao Residence and win more than half of the seats in the parliament."

“Most of them—” Sheng Xiuming paused, smiled lightly, and said, “If you want, you can call them sponsors.”

"Most of these donors chose to hide their names, but within the campaign team, this was no secret."

"The financial industry, shipping industry, traditional media industry, biopharmaceutical group and Pioneer Technology Capital are the main sources of Feng Jingyi's campaign funds."

Sheng Xiuming looked into Xue Muqing's eyes and said slowly, "The man who used the meteorite to transform you into what you are now is one of Feng Jingyi's biggest financial backers, Arthur Friedrich, the richest man in Thunder Bay who holds dual citizenship."

Fu Meng's face turned pale under the dim fluorescent light. He cried out, "General!"

Xue Muqing raised his right hand. He looked at his metal finger bones and said in a low and cold voice, "Isn't the person you are talking about someone who claims to never appear in front of the media? How do you know him?"
