The butler saw a glimmer of anticipation in Su Baadao's eyes, as if he were eagerly hoping they would continue to resist.
“My name is Su Baadao. You probably haven't heard of me before.”
“No matter. I believe that after today, you won't forget it for the rest of your lives.”
He looked at the butler as he spoke, his voice calm.
“Withdraw that pathetic pressure of yours. This is my final warning.”
The butler's face turned ashen, but he still withdrew his pressure. Seeing this, the other Sun family Demigod also withdrew his.
A look of distinct disappointment flashed in Su Baadao's eyes. Seeing this, the butler's heart skipped a beat, and he actually felt a wave of relief that he had complied.
Buzz—
Yet another wave of pressure surged from the inner estate, causing the sky above to shift slightly.
The one who had intervened was actually a Sequence 4!
Bang!
Bang!
The security officers who had rushed in with Wang Gen were all low-Sequence ascenders. The strongest among them were only Sequence 6, and they were completely unable to withstand this pressure, collapsing to their knees one after another.
Wang Gen looked at Su Baadao with an ashen face, only to see Su Baadao wearing a ferocious expression.
“Resisting law enforcement and ignoring warnings!”
“Kill!!!”
Su Baadao's divinity erupted. The instant the words left his mouth, Wang Gen had already charged forward.
He didn't care about the consequences; when his boss said to strike, he struck!
He delivered a straight kick right to the butler's face!
Divinity erupted from the butler, his face twisted in rage, and the pressure from the backyard surged forward like a rising tide.
But this didn't frighten Su Baadao or Wang Gen in the slightest.
Wang Gen's kick knocked out several of the butler's teeth. Yet, compared to the Demigod beside him, the butler's situation could actually be considered fortunate.
Because that Demigod had been instantly obliterated by Su Baadao in their very first exchange!
The bloody scene left the butler utterly dumbfounded, making him completely forget the pain in his mouth.
He stared blankly at the mist of blood, his mind struggling to accept what had just happened.
The prestigious Sun family actually had someone barge in and kill a Demigod right at their doorstep?
No, no, no, I can't resist.
At this thought, he decisively raised his hands, terrified that he would be blown to pieces if he were even a second too slow.
Sure enough, as he raised his hands, he clearly saw a look of profound disappointment cross Su Baadao's face.
Buzz—
The Sequence 4 in the backyard teleported directly to the front courtyard. He was an elder with snow-white hair and a beard, his eyes flashing like lightning as he glared at Su Baadao.
Rumble—
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, a clear indication that this Sequence 4 was currently in an extremely foul mood.
His pressure was incredibly intense, suffocating the security officers until their faces turned red and their lips began to purple.
Su Baadao, however, seemed completely unaffected. He leisurely adjusted his collar, his voice calm.
“My master is Wan Tianqing!”
The moment the name Wan Tianqing left his mouth, the clouds in the sky instantly dispersed.
Su Baadao sneered.
“I have come on His Majesty's orders to investigate cults!”
“From the moment I stepped through your gates, your Sun family has been obstructing my investigation, continuing to hinder me even after I presented a search warrant.”
“You even mobilized your divinity to violently resist the law!”
“I will report all of this truthfully to His Majesty!”
With that, he waved his hand.
“Search!”
Wang Gen glanced at the Sequence 4, then turned back to the security officers he had brought.
“I won't say much about how things were in your previous squads, but my rule, Wang Gen's rule, is that merit is always rewarded!”
“Every single one of you, pull yourselves together! You all know exactly how they just treated us!”
“Now, it's our turn!”
Hearing this, the security officers, their faces still grim, circulated their spirituality and marched inside.
Within seconds, a chaotic clamor erupted from within, accompanied by the shouting of the security officers.
“Why is this door locked? Open it! I said open the door!”
“Back off! Something is wrong beneath the garden; there are faint spiritual fluctuations. Are you going to dig it up yourself, or should we?”
“Don't move! Raise your hands where I can see them!”
Listening to the noise coming from the backyard, the Sequence 4 stared at Su Baadao with an ashen face.
“You had better actually find something.”
Su Baadao burst out laughing upon hearing this.
“Don't you worry about that. Since I've come, I won't be returning empty-handed.”
Seeing Su Baadao's confident expression, the Sequence 4 suddenly realized something was amiss.
Is this bastard planning to plant evidence?
Ever since Kang Ming's incident, the Sun family had transferred or destroyed all 'dangerous' items.
He didn't believe Su Baadao could find anything, yet the man was so confident, which naturally made him suspect that the other party intended to frame them.
“Mr. Su! We found something here!”
“And over here too!”
Sure enough, before even five minutes had passed, the security officers began shouting one after another, making the Sequence 4 even more certain of his suspicion.
He took a step forward, glaring intently at Su Baadao.
“Even as Mr. Wan's disciple, you cannot frame a Sequence 4. You are aware of this, right?”
Su Baadao sneered.
“Frame you? Why would I waste my time on that?”
As he spoke, those few security officers ran back. One of them was carrying half a body.
Indeed, it was half a person.
The Sequence 4 was utterly dumbfounded when he saw this. The estate had clearly been thoroughly cleaned; where did this half-person come from?
He whipped his head around to glare at Su Baadao, his expression virtually demanding an answer.
Didn't you say you weren't planting evidence?
“Sir, when we found this, the Sun family members were in the middle of destroying the corpse to erase the evidence. We have already detained them.”
Hearing this, the Sequence 4's body shuddered as he apparently realized something.
Su Baadao sneered.
“A dog can't stop eating filth, can it?”
“Murder and destroying evidence—I suspect this is a cult's sacrificial ritual. Keep searching!”
“Yes, sir!”
...
“Hahaha!”
“This Central City has descended into chaos without us even needing to interfere.”
“Interesting. Truly interesting.”
“Do you think Qin Qian has lost his mind? Our army has already captured four of their cities in a row, yet he still has the mind to hunt down cults in Central City?”
“Don't be careless. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. There is a reason Great Wei has stood for so many years.”
“Speaking of which, to think we actually collaborated with those cultists from the Shadow Lotus Church for this war. It is rather shameful to speak of.”
A heavy silence fell over the room. After a few seconds, someone spoke up.
“What do you mean, collaborating with the Shadow Lotus Church? I could just as easily say Great Wei is collaborating with them to fight against our Great Qi!”
“Remember, the right to speak always belongs to the victor.”
“As long as we win, whatever we say becomes the truth!”
“History will only record how wise and martial the winners were, and how base and despicable the losers were.”
He wanted to use this method to boost morale.
But while it was easy to deceive others, it was hard to deceive oneself.
“Enough. Their chaos is their own business. Do not forget our objective!”
“We have been hiding in Central City for so many years. It is finally time to serve Great Qi!”
The people in the room exchanged glances, then nodded in unison.
“For Great Qi!”
