NOVPUBChapter 789: 193. Shocking the entire audience! The Devil Sect’s trump card!_3
The flying ship touched down on the ground, and after a moment, the hatch opened, revealing a towering and formidable man, over two meters tall, with a presence like a mountain, exuding an aura of authority without anger. It was the Deputy Inspector Tiger King from the military base!
After disembarking from the flying ship, Tiger King’s eyes, fierce as a tiger’s, swept across the battlefield and immediately fell upon Jing Tai and Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng was a legitimate descendant of the Jiang Family, and Jing Tai was a student of He Weidao, both well-known among the younger generation in the Provincial Government, and Tiger King had obviously heard of them, also knowing that they were the first and second Commissioners of Emerald City.
Therefore, he looked at the two and then barked sharply, “What the hell is Emerald City doing? How could you gather so many Awakeners, have a major Yang Transformation battle, and even provoke Mortality-Shedding beings to intervene!”
“Do you realize how serious the Law Fluctuations this will cause are?”
“Nearby is a low-level city without comprehensive defensive measures and a population of a million! Do you want these million people to end up displaced just like the citizens of Miaohua City?”
Hearing Tiger King’s scolding, Jing Tai, injured all over, alternated between flushing and going pale, obviously feeling extremely embarrassed by the situation.
But Jiang Cheng was different. Having successfully accomplished the “Commoner Faction’s” plan tonight, and capturing the entire Rejuvenation Society, he was feeling quite smug.
Plus his arrogant nature meant that he shot Tiger King a glance and retorted, “You actually know that such a serious accident has happened here!”
He looked at his watch and said, “Look at the time! It’s already been 20 minutes since I made my move! Is this the mobility speed you have?”
Seeing Jiang Cheng actually daring to argue back, Tiger King’s brow deeply furrowed, and he snorted coldly as he suddenly overwhelmed him with his imposing manner!
At that moment, Jiang Cheng felt as if a great mountain suddenly weighed down on him, the terrifying pressure nearly making him kneel on the spot.
Fortunately, although his mouth was defiant, his knees were strong too, so he glared fiercely back at Tiger King, gritting his teeth and standing his ground.
Seeing the two in conflict at such a time, Jing Tai sighed softly and stepped forward. He explained to Tiger King, “Inspector, Commissioner Jiang has been on leave recently and isn’t aware of the temporary notice issued by the military base.”
With that, he turned to Jiang Cheng and explained, “Commissioner Jiang, the military base recently issued a new notice. At the State Council’s request, the base is temporarily anchoring in the Provincial Government, leaving only the Sky Mother Ship to patrol regularly.”
“As a result, the province’s emergency response time has increased from six minutes to 25 minutes. All high-level cities are asked to take precautions during this special period to prevent accidents.”
Hearing Jing Tai’s words, Jiang Cheng’s expression darkened. After a moment, he looked at Jing Tai and then at Tiger King, who was still coldly watching him and continuing to exert pressure, and was forced to bow slightly, “My apologies, Sir.”
“Hmph!”, Seeing Jiang Cheng submit, Tiger King grunted coldly, withdrawing his mountain-like demeanor, then took a stern glance at the two before saying unapologetically, “I will report tonight’s incident honestly. The State Council will naturally make a judgment. As for now… I am going to deal with the Law Tide. You all must leave quickly!”
Having said that, he turned and headed straight for the battlefield!
Watching Tiger King’s massive figure leave, Jiang Cheng straightened up, huffed discontentedly, and then turned to Jing Tai, saying, “Fame is truly inferior to one’s own judgement. I’ve heard that Tiger King has a notoriously bad temper, and it seems it’s true.”
“We cooperated so well tonight, capturing over a hundred members of the Rejuvenation Society, and one of the three Yang Transformation Rejuvenation Society leaders died, one fled, and one was captured alive, which is a perfect accomplishment of the mission! This is clearly a meritorious deed, yet he not only fails to commend us but also threatens us, pah!”
Hearing Jiang Cheng’s words, Jing Tai also came back to his senses, looking at Jiang Cheng with a puzzled face. For a time, he couldn’t quite tell whether Jiang Cheng was speaking his true feelings or being sarcastic.
Captured over a hundred people from Rejuvenation Society?
One of the three Yang Transformation leaders died, one fled, and one was captured?
Perfectly accomplished the mission?
Meritorious deed?!
At that moment, Jing Tai really wanted to crack open Jiang Cheng’s skull to see what was inside!
‘When did I ever say we were going to catch the Rejuvenation Society tonight!’
‘What on earth is the Rejuvenation Society!’ he wondered.
‘Who gave Jiang Cheng the confidence to dare claim that he had established merit?’
Thinking this, Jing Tai couldn’t help but carefully observe Jiang Cheng, wanting to see whether Jiang Cheng was pretending to be foolish or was genuinely clueless.
After watching him for nearly a minute, Jing Tai came to a conclusion…
To be honest, at first, Jing Tai really thought that Jiang Cheng was being sarcastic. But upon closer inspection, he felt that wasn’t the case.
So, a very strange thought emerged in his mind, ‘Could it be… everything really is a misunderstanding or coincidence?’
With this thought, he grew somewhat perplexed, ‘But if it is a misunderstanding, how did it come about?’
‘On what grounds does Jiang Cheng think he belongs to the Commoner Faction?’
‘And why does he think my target is the Rejuvenation Society?’
After thinking for a while and because there were too few clues, Jing Tai couldn’t deduce any valuable leads.
However… he felt that all of this must be related to the Devil Sect and Fang Ze.
Otherwise, why would the Devil Sect be the biggest beneficiary tonight?
With this thought, Jing Tai suddenly paused.
Wait a second… It seems like the Devil Sect wasn’t the only beneficiary tonight, right?
Thinking so, he couldn’t help but look at the smiling faces of the Federation’s Defense Team soldiers and the Security Bureau’s Executive Commissioners on site, and his eyes brightened slightly: Seems like it wasn’t just Jiang Cheng who misunderstood the mission tonight and thought they had made a great achievement, right?
Then, thinking about how his own side had indeed eradicated a dangerous organization tonight, capturing hundreds of Fusion-stage individuals and one Yang Transformation-stage, Jing Tai suddenly realized: Hey, this really seems like a significant accomplishment…
And what he needed to do was to simply modify the objective of tonight’s action that was recorded at the Governing Hall…
With this thought, Jing Tai couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Cheng again, and made up his mind: It seemed that for now, it wasn’t necessary to confront him openly, it would be better to follow Jiang Cheng’s plan for the evening, to lower his guard.
Then he could take this opportunity to seek out his teacher or other titans of the Commoner Faction to investigate Jiang Cheng’s affairs…
To find out whom he had really sided with and what secrets he harbored behind his back…
…
Meanwhile, as everything settled down in Qingshan City.
Provincial Government.
Fang Ze was also escorted by the motorcade to the banquet location agreed upon with the Jia Family.
Upon stopping the car, Hei Yu was already waiting by the car door, opening it for Fang Ze.
Fang Ze stepped out of the car, adjusted his clothes, and then he heard Hei Yu’s quiet report,
“Young Master, the family has just sent word. The Ascension-stage members of the Sima family have surrounded the manor, demanding that you immediately release Sima Liu and Sima Jin…”
