"This guy looks familiar, like I've seen him sowhere before. Is he... Beixing Zhang?"
"Beixing Zhang?"
"That's right, Zhang Beixing! The guy who openly mocked Black Ghost... oh no, I an Black people on Twitter yesterday. How did he get here? And it looks like he has a feud with soone inside that laboratory building."
The leaders of the various factions understood what was happening, but the ordinary onlookers did not. Consequently, upon hearing Zhang Beixing's words regarding the D&E Laboratory, ceaseless discussion and imnse curiosity arose among them. So even recognized Zhang Beixing and quickly pulled out their phones to take pictures of him.
Just as the onlookers were gathering around...
「Inside the D&E Laboratory building.」
Charles was montarily startled by Zhang Beixing's words. He quickly recovered, a mixture of anger and amusent at Zhang Beixing's arrogance washing over him.
"Interesting!"
This Great Xia person really doesn't take our security departnt seriously at all.
Who gave you the courage to say such things?!
Do you really think we're all just for show?!
"You, go out there and test him. I want to see what he can do to us when we step out!"
Turning his head, Charles casually selected soone from the security personnel behind him to go out and test the waters.
Hearing his words, the chosen man nodded. Then, under the watchful eyes of Charles and the others, he pushed open the door and walked straight out. As he walked, he drew a gun from his waist.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd grew frightened and hastily scrambled to the side, distancing themselves from the area.
Zhang Beixing, however, rely observed the security guard's posture. A hint of cold light flashed in his eyes, but he showed no other reaction.
Not until the man was four ters away from him.
BUZZ—
Without warning, Zhang Beixing moved. He gripped his long spear, and it thrust out like a dragon, a cold light glinting.
Everyone saw only a blur before their eyes and heard the sound of sothing slicing through the air.
The next second...
CLATTER—
SPLURCH—
Zhang Beixing cleaved the handgun the security guard had just drawn in two. Simultaneously, that flash of cold light bisected the guard's body diagonally!
The cut was perfectly clean. Blood and viscera gushed out, instantly drenching the ground!
In an instant, the entire area fell silent.
!!!
Everyone's eyes widened, staring dumbstruck at the scene.
The scouts from the major factions, recording the situation with their phones, had hands so unsteady the footage beca blurred. But the gang godfathers and financial magnates present paid no heed to the blurry footage. Their minds were consud by the image of Zhang Beixing felling the guard with a single, devastating strike.
"How does he dare?!" The Brotherhood's godfather shot up from his chair, watching the shaky video in utter disbelief. To strike a guard dead with a single thrust of his spear, in broad daylight, in front of everyone... where did Zhang Beixing get the audacity to do such a thing?
Has he gone mad?
This is a direct challenge to the laws of Ro!
The Brotherhood's godfather couldn't comprehend it, but he quickly abandoned any attempt to.
There was no need to understand.
Zhang Beixing's actions were all that mattered.
This video alone was enough to seal his fate.
"Quick, get the Maro police station on the line! Tell them to dispatch officers and arrest this guy!"
"And grab this video! Post it online, create a stir, sway public opinion! Make sure everyone knows about this!"
"Zhang Beixing, let's see how you get out of this one!" the Brotherhood's godfather ordered.
Hearing his words, his n nodded and were about to act.
However, before they could...
DING-A-LING—
An urgent ringing emanated from the cell phone in the Brotherhood godfather's pocket. Hearing the ring, the godfather furrowed his brow. Who could be calling at a ti like this?
He pulled out his phone and looked. His gaze sharpened instantly upon seeing the caller's na.
It was Brono from Golden Wind.
"What does he want from at this hour?" the godfather muttered, then chose to answer the call.
He heard Brono's voice, tinged with a London accent, co through, "Hello, Godfather Orthis. Long ti no see. I've missed you. We at Golden Wind have recently co across so very interesting information. I was wondering if you might be interested in taking a look?"
As he spoke, a multidia ssage arrived on Orthis's phone. Hearing the notification, Orthis looked at his phone.
His expression changed drastically.
The multidia ssage contained photos of their Brotherhood's recent clandestine dealings: selling active military arsenal of Ancient Ro!
"How did you get your hands on this?!" Orthis roared, murderous intent flaring in his eyes.
If word of their dealings in active Ancient Roman military armants leaked, the Brotherhood would be finished!
Every single mber, from top to bottom, would have to die to appease the Ancient Roman governnt's wrath.
Therefore, the n he had assigned to this task were his most trusted confidants, carefully selected.
Yet, despite his precautions, the affair had been exposed. Golden Wind knew and even had photographic evidence.
"What do you want?" Orthis asked, taking several deep breaths to force himself to remain calm.
Brono hadn't sent these photos rely to inform him. He definitely sought sothing.
Upon hearing Orthis's words, Brono chuckled. "Nothing much, really. However, you must have noticed the situation with Zhang Beixing. Our godfather feels the situation is already chaotic enough; there's no need to stir it up further. Do you take our aning?"
Hearing this, Orthis was stunned.
Wasn't this a clear warning not to fuel the online public opinion?
But why would Golden Wind do this?
Zhang Beixing was just an outsider!
Why...
Wait a second!
Orthis suddenly recalled the incident at his bar the previous night—Golden Wind had been involved then too. Connecting these two incidents, a chilling realization struck Orthis, and he drew in a sharp breath.
He then nodded, "I understand!"
"Good. Thank you for your cooperation. In that case, we won't disturb you any longer. Have a pleasant day. Goodbye." Brono's voice remained as gentle as ever.
After these words, he hung up.
Orthis, after the call ended, urgently summoned his confidant and ordered him to forget the previous instructions. Then he sank onto the sofa, watching the video and mulling over the information revealed during the call, his expression grim and uncertain.
「At the sa ti, other factions also received calls and 'friendly greetings' from Golden Wind.」
Without exception, they were all warned to stay out of the matter and refrain from any online machinations.
There was only one power Golden Wind hadn't contacted: the Ancient Roman police departnt!
Although the Ancient Roman police departnt had connections with several mafia factions, it was, after all, an official arm of the Ancient Roman authorities. Golden Wind had been able to ddle in the previous day's affair because there was no conclusive proof against Zhang Beixing, and few witnesses were present, giving them a loophole to exploit.
But today was different.
Zhang Beixing had committed murder in front of so many people; the evidence was undeniable. Photos of Zhang Beixing killing soone on the street were already circulating online. This would inevitably draw the full attention of the Ancient Roman police departnt. Even if Golden Wind interfered, it would be pointless.
"This is all we can do. The rest, you'll have to handle yourself. I hope you don't disappoint , my dear Zhang," Kaiser, the godfather of Golden Wind, watched Zhang Beixing on the screen dispatching lives as effortlessly as if plucking fruit from a tree. He took a sip of tea, his face a mask of shock and keen anticipation, and said.
