National Guardian's Gone and We're Done Chapter 45: On Some Matters, Mr. Chu Can Wield the Slaughter
Outside Chu He’s manor, reporters of all kinds surged like a tide.
They held microphones and caras, their eyes glinting with a mix of prying curiosity and anticipation.
Most of these reporters were from the Great Xia Empire, with a few others dressed in foreign attire.
Chu He knew that among this crowd, there were undoubtedly spies from the Great Jing Empire.
But at this mont, he couldn’t care less.
Inside the manor, security was tight.
A King-level expert was also stationed within,
personally dispatched by Her Majesty the Queen of the Great Xia Empire, Lu Yinxing.
He was a mber of Her Majesty the Queen’s personal Guard, the elite of the elite, whom Lu Yinxing trusted most.
Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the manor.
A confidant of Lu Yinxing’s rushed over, clutching a sealed letter.
He quietly relayed to Chu He an urgent summons from Her Majesty the Queen, hoping he would co at once to discuss matters.
A luxury car was already waiting at the manor’s entrance.
As the luxury car carrying Chu He slowly pulled out of the manor,
the reporters surged forward like a tide, shoving their microphones toward the car, desperate to get so exclusive news from Chu He.
"These reporters are so persistent," Liu Yuzhu couldn’t help but complain.
She honked the horn forcefully, trying to drive the reporters away.
But the reporters didn’t back down; instead, their numbers grew.
So reporters had been resting in their work vans,
but upon seeing Chu He finally erge, they imdiately grabbed their caras and microphones and charged forward.
Just as Liu Yuzhu was about to call for help from the manor’s security personnel, Chu He gently pressed the button for the window.
The window slowly opened a third of the way, and the reporters imdiately thrust their microphones inside.
Their questions ca in a rapid-fire barrage: "Mr. Chu, we know you’re very busy, but could you please answer a few questions? It’s been leaked recently that the target of the Black Pearl Evil Spirit Ship might be the Great Xia Empire, and that it’s already drawing near. Is this true?"
Chu He nodded slightly. "That is more or less true."
He didn’t hide this fact, because this was precisely the matter Her Majesty the Queen, Lu Yinxing, had summoned him to discuss.
Hearing this answer, Liu Yuzhu’s expression changed.
This matter was still classified. If it got out, it could very well cause extre panic in the Great Xia Empire.
But Chu He had already said it, and now all she could do was watch as the reporters recorded the news.
"Facing the Black Pearl, which carries countless Evil Spirits and is said to be invincible, does Mr. Chu already have a plan?" another reporter quickly asked.
Chu He answered with composure, "I will handle it."
One reporter asked eagerly, "Mr. Chu, could you reveal the source of your confidence? After all, that Evil Spirit Ship has only appeared three tis globally, and all three tis it has caused unimaginable destruction to humanity."
Chu He’s tone was calm. "Just wait and see."
’He did have so theories about the Evil Spirit Ship,’
’but only by seeing it with his own eyes could he truly understand its secrets.’
’More importantly, he knew that the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was the natural enemy of those Evil Spirits,’
’which gave him an extra asure of composure and calm in the face of the unknown.’
The reporters were not satisfied with this.
Another reporter threw out an even more pointed question: "Mr. Chu, you were forrly the National Guardian War God of the Great Jing Empire, and now you have co to our Great Xia Empire. The Great Jing Empire has appointed a new National Guardian War God. I wonder what Mr. Chu’s thoughts are on this matter?"
Chu He smiled faintly. "With my eyes."
The reporters looked at each other, clearly not expecting such an answer.
Just then, another reporter squeezed forward and took the opportunity to ask an even trickier question: "The current National Guardian War God of the Great Jing Empire has already entered the Demon Cave, claiming that this ti he will completely purge the entire cave.
Do you think the new National Guardian War God, Xiao Cangqing, can accomplish this?
After all, even when Mr. Chu was in the Great Jing Empire, you only suppressed the Demon Cave from above and never eliminated the Evil Spirits within it."
The question was an obvious trap. No matter how Chu He answered, he would be caught in a whirlwind of public opinion.
Chu He, however, did not feel flustered and replied, "I don’t think he can do it."
The reporters were stunned by Chu He’s answer.
Their eyes widened, trying to read more from Chu He’s expression.
But they also grew excited in an instant. No one knew better than a reporter just how much of a bombshell this answer was.
Chu He didn’t want to answer any more questions. He glanced at the ti and said lightly, "I’ve answered enough of your questions. Can you clear the way now?"
However, the reporters weren’t about to give up.
One reporter clung to the car door and pressed on, "Mr. Chu, can you tell us why Xiao Cangqing won’t be able to solve the problem with the Great Jing Empire’s Demon Cave?"
Chu He frowned slightly, clearly growing impatient with the reporters’ pestering.
He lightly tapped the car door, and a gentle force instantly enveloped the entire vehicle.
The reporters only felt an invisible force pushing them away, clearing a path.
Seeing this, Liu Yuzhu imdiately started the car and drove off into the distance.
"What just happened? I felt sothing invisible push away."
"That must have been one of Chu He’s tricks."
"It’s a sha. I hadn’t even finished asking all the questions I prepared."
A large crowd of reporters stood there, aiming their caras at the luxury car driving far away.
What happened today was bound to cause a massive stir.
And the questions that were asked, along with Chu He’s answers, would beco the bombshells of their reports, set to detonate across the entire internet.
The reporters rushed back to their news vans without a mont’s rest, needing to imdiately edit today’s footage and upload it to their respective platforms.
...
"Mr. Chu, I’m actually worried that what you said just now might cause unnecessary trouble."
Liu Yuzhu drove the car, cruising smoothly along the wide road.
She carefully observed Chu He’s expression in the rearview mirror.
His face was as calm as a lake, without a single ripple.
"They’ll find out sooner or later."
Chu He didn’t directly address Liu Yuzhu’s concerns.
"But Mr. Chu, the power of public opinion is imnse.
Sotis, it’s like an invisible blade that can wound people."
Liu Yuzhu frowned slightly. She could foresee the storm of public opinion that was likely to follow.
She worried that this turmoil would affect Chu He, and perhaps even the entire Great Xia Empire.
"Would I be afraid of public opinion?"
A faint smile touched the corners of Chu He’s lips, a smile that betrayed a hint of untad pride.
He had never cared about public opinion. His world was never constrained by the words of others.
Liu Yuzhu gave a wry smile. She recalled Chu He’s experiences back in the Great Jing Empire.
Back then, he had already been ravaged by public opinion.
Now, Chu He seed to have grown even sharper. The sharpness hidden within his calm was like a Supre Divine Sword—
though still sheathed, its edge could already be felt.
Liu Yuzhu couldn’t help but think, ’Chu He really has changed.’
Soon, the luxury car arrived at Her Majesty the Queen’s office.
The area was already filled with the vehicles of high-ranking officials, all clearly here for the upcoming ergency eting.
After Chu He got out of the car, Liu Yuzhu followed closely behind, relaying a ssage from Her Majesty the Queen in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, Her Majesty the Queen asked to pass on a ssage.
She has one hundred percent trust in you.
From now on, Her Majesty hopes to protect the Great Xia Empire with you and, alongside the one she loves, resist the invasion of the Evil Spirits.
The Great Xia Empire is also unstable right now. Her Majesty the Queen says that you will understand that, on certain matters, Mr. Chu is free to wield the Slaughter Knife."
