Doomsday Descends: My Villainous Destiny

Chapter 34: Entering the Decision-Making Circle

Upon hearing that Qin Jun had already become a Level 2 Evolver, the core members of the Qin family all smiled.

Although the Qin family's core members had also awakened abilities, with some even having A-level or S-level abilities, they were still far inferior to Qin Jun's SSS-level ability.

Qin De laughed and said, “Xiaojun has an SSS-level ability, which is the highest known level, right? I think it won't be long before Big Brother will have to step down and make a way for you.”

Everyone laughed.

While it was true that top-tier families like the Qin family had their fair share of internal conflicts and power struggles, the Qin family had a significant difference compared to typical nouveau riche families.

The Qin family members were exceptionally clear-headed. 

They knew that despite the dangers everywhere in the apocalypse and although the Qin family had quickly established themselves as one of the rulers of this new era, the future remains uncertain.

They understood the power of unity better than ordinary people.

Qin Yuan turned to Qin Jun and said, “Now that all the factories and research institutes in East Capital are on track, you should take a tour and inspect them tomorrow.”

Qin Jun nodded, understanding that this meant his father had formally inducted him into the family's decision-making circle.

This also signified that he would become one of the decision-makers of the vast entity that was the Qin family, which governed millions of people, commanded an army of 400,000, and had nearly a thousand evolvers under its control.

The others smiled approvingly, showing no surprise and considering it entirely appropriate.

Although Qin Jun was only twenty years old, he was not only Qin Yuan’s son but also an SSS-level evolver…

……

The next day, accompanied by Xie Han and a group of attendants, Qin Jun left the Qin family mansion to begin his tour of his territory.

As for Su Ya, Qin Jun had to admit he was impressed by her ability. Although Su Ya’s ability was only B-level and not top-tier, it was a rare mind-related ability.

Her mind control ability could cause immense pain, making it impossible for people to hide secrets from her.

At Qin Jun’s suggestion, the Qin family established an intelligence department with about 600 people, specializing in monitoring and suppressing internal instability.

Su Ya became one of the interrogation officers. She was delighted with this role, as she had been pondering how to secure her place by Qin Jun’s side.

Now, she could finally demonstrate her value. Qin Jun did not need a mere decoration—he needed a useful decoration.

The motorcade drove down the street, and after a month of adjustment and stabilization, East Capital’s situation had become calm.

There were even pedestrians on the streets again. However, there were still military and police officers stationed at intersections, which had become the norm.

In the car, opposite Qin Jun sat a middle-aged man named Zhou Yunlong, Qin Yuan’s secretary. Zhou was fiercely loyal to Qin Yuan and highly capable, privy to many of the Qin family’s secrets, making him a high-ranking member of the Qin family.

Zhou Yunlong continuously briefed Qin Jun on the resources and various industries under the Qin family’s control. Although Qin Jun was Qin Yuan’s only son, he was still young and had been a student before the apocalypse.

Therefore, he had only a general understanding of the Qin family’s specific industries and did not know the details.

Now, with Zhou Yunlong’s explanation, he finally had a clear understanding of the Qin family’s specific industries and strengths.

Zhou Yunlong smiled and asked, “Young Master, where would you like to visit first? The office building, the military district, or the industrial area?”

Qin Jun thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the industrial area first.”

Zhou Yunlong nodded and immediately arranged the route. Previously, Zhou Yunlong had always been courteous to Qin Jun, but now his politeness had a touch of reverence.

Because from now on, Qin Jun’s status was not just that of Qin Yuan’s son but also the new leader of the Qin family…

……

East Capital, Industrial Zone, Third Military Factory

It was time to eat.

The workers returned to their workstations with their lunch boxes, expressionless and silent, making the large workshop seem like a morgue.

Li Deng forced himself to eat the foul-smelling, mushy food. Although it filled his stomach, he felt increasingly weak…

These mushy foods had little nutritional value! Coupled with the high-intensity work every day, Li Deng felt dizzy and had a constant ringing in his ears.

As a young man in his prime, if he was already in such a state, the others were undoubtedly worse off.

Last night, Uncle Song fainted while working overtime. Yet that despicable Hu motherfucker wouldn’t allow Uncle Song to rest and deducted a significant portion of his merit points!

Li Deng looked around and saw that the others were all emaciated and sickly, with no spirit left. He clenched his fists tightly, telling himself that he couldn’t go on like this.

If he continued, he would likely die of exhaustion at his workstation within two months!

He had to resist! He had to change his fate!

While Li Deng was lost in thought, a commotion suddenly broke out.

Everyone looked over to see a group of well-dressed men in suits and ties surrounding a handsome young man as they walked into the workshop.

Li Deng had seen these people before—they were high-ranking officials of the Third Military Factory, people who were usually far above them.

They rarely ever set foot in the dirty workshop and the workshop supervisor, Hu Weimin, was trailing behind, bowing and scraping.

This man, who held the power of life and death over the workers, didn’t even have the qualifications to stand beside the young man, appearing as nothing more than a lackey…

Li Deng couldn’t help but feel curious. Who was this young man? He stared intently at the youth, a flame of unquenchable anger igniting in his heart.

This young man was around his age, yet why was there such a vast disparity in their statuses?!
