CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 258: RETURN!

"Are you out of your mind? Directly going to war with the council, overthrowing the whole council, where would we get so many troops?"

"The Apocalypse Society’s believers across the entire Ninth Special Zone, and my current credibility among the people of the Ninth Special Zone.

The council’s rule over most of the Ninth Special Zone’s policies and considerations do not favor the people, but more so the interests of capital and the politicians themselves.

This has already led to an outcry from the people of the Ninth Special Zone, causing great dissatisfaction with the entire council.

The last coal incident further pushed these feelings of dissatisfaction to a peak.

In the apocalyptic world, humans have become bolder, knowing that to fight for a better tomorrow, they need to take risks.

As long as there is a leader to start a group, they will definitely follow.

The forces I can mobilize are, counting fully, up to 3000 people!"

Chen Che’s number shocked Arabic instantly. He didn’t expect that Chen Che had grown to this extent.

Chen Che wasn’t lying. The forces he can mobilize from Lighthouse, fully counted, exceed 1200 combat-ready troops.

An Nishang’s Other Shore Army, after she left, also fell under Chen Che’s control, with 800 people who can be mobilized.

Plus the security team within the Judicial Bureau and other commanders’ subordinates, his forces amount to 3000 people, and they are fully armed, within the city!

These 3000 troops are an absolutely terrifying military power within the Ninth Special Zone.

"If the Apocalypse Society cooperates with me this time, with the current strength of the Apocalypse Society, the forces we can call upon will be at least 5000 people, definitely enough to overthrow the entire Ninth Special Zone!

Moreover, I also know that the Judging Priest is about to arrive in the Ninth Special Zone. The Judging Priest is sure to seek revenge against the entire Ninth Special Zone, especially since Zhou Shaoyang died at the hands of the Ninth Special Zone.

Everything you are doing now is to weaken the punishment that the Judging Priest will impose on you, but you haven’t achieved any results yet. If I’m not wrong, once the Judging Priest arrives in the Ninth Special Zone, the first target will be your head.

You must show something useful to the Church!

Work with me to overthrow the rule of the entire Ninth Special Zone to show the Judging Priest, telling the Judging Priest that we can take down the Ninth Special Zone now.

With my credibility among the people, just overthrow the council’s rule, and I can let the entire Ninth Special Zone be under our control. I can legalize the Apocalypse Society, let our Apocalypse Society preach throughout the Ninth Special Zone, gather more followers, and finally, without bloodshed, turn the entire Ninth Special Zone into the place of our Apocalypse Society, dedicated to the great Master of Revelation!

Let the Ninth Special Zone become the City of the Apocalypse!

In this way, you, Arabic, would be the first hero!

All the crimes you have committed could disappear, and the Church would not only not punish you but also reward you greatly!"

Chen Che kept painting a rosy picture for Arabic, whose eyes wavered with a touch of excitement.

Seeing that Arabic had not yet made up his mind, Chen Che exhaled and said, "Let me tell you a secret, I have people in the council.

I actually have all the information of the council in my hands.

And I have already contacted that underworld godfather in Lower City District.

He has already agreed with my idea.

If we really initiate the action, really overthrow the council’s rule, and make the Ninth Special Zone independent, the underworld godfather Deer Kamon in Lower City District will assist us.

The entire Lower City District will also send troops to Upper City District.

Our total armed force will exceed 10,000.

By the time the Military Department reacts, the entire power of the Ninth Special Zone will already be in our hands.

Under the surging waves from the public, even the Military Department will have to submit.

What do you think? High Priest, have you thought it through?

The path to success lies beneath your feet, it only depends on whether you dare to take this step."

Arabic thought for a long time, finally looked up, with a hint of madness in his eyes.

Chen Che’s lips curled into a small smile.

...

He returned to the villa, Xia Yuansi just got up, the little princess walked around the villa fully naked, evidently accustomed to it.

Hearing Chen Che and Xia Na come back, she peeked out to take a look, then walked out casually upon noticing there were only the two.

The villa had heating, so she didn’t feel cold without clothes.

"I’m hungry, hurry up and make some food for me."

Xia Yuansi stood with her hands on her hips, Xia Na rolled her eyes, tossed her a set of pajamas, and said, "Put on some clothes!"

"It’s not cold, I haven’t showered yet, will take one later, wearing something now is unnecessary."

"Your Highness, there’s still a man here!"

"That rascal’s seen and touched everywhere on me, it’s pointless to hide."

The little princess had truly let herself go, as being here was far more liberating than in the Imperial Palace.

She walked to the kitchen door wearing only a pair of slippers, her delicate toes neatly arranged while Chen Che fried meat, a peculiar aroma wafted out, making the little princess salivate.

She first looked behind Chen Che, then moved to the other side of the kitchen.

The other side of the kitchen opened to the backyard; Xia Yuansi cracked the door open slightly, the cold wind of minus ten degrees instantly brushed her pale body, causing goosebumps to rise briskly on her skin.

Under such severe cold, everything would be affected.

Where the air turned soft and fragrant strawberries hard and protruding.

Xia Yuansi shivered, immediately shut the door, glanced outside with her peripheral vision, suddenly shrieked, dashed to the sofa, and hastily put on the pajamas Xia Na had thrown at her.

Xia Na looked at Xia Yuansi with confusion and said: "What’s wrong with you?"

"There’s a group of people outside! Damn it, someone looked up this way for a moment, damn it! I was almost seen by them!"

Xia Na immediately looked gleeful and said: "Who told the dignified princess to not wear any clothes? I thought you had an exhibitionist streak."

"How could I be such a pervert?!"

Perhaps it was because they were girls of a similar age, had shared toys, and had both been reprimanded before.

There were endless topics to talk about, so Xia Na and Xia Yuansi had a relatively good relationship.

Xia Na teased for a while before realizing something was off, a group of people?

Why would a group of people appear at the villa’s entrance?

Chen Che and Xia Na suddenly turned to look at each other, Chen Che placed the cooked meat onto a plate for the little princess to eat, and then both went to the villa’s entrance.

Xia Na silently carried her Tang sword, opened the villa door, and Big Dog and Little Dog, still loyal guards, wrapped in thick clothing, stood in the cold wind brandishing guns to prevent a uniformed group from approaching.

"Who are you?"

Faced with Big Dog and Little Dog’s inquiry, the leading Judicial Bureau Director Qian Yunshan arrogantly raised his head and said: "Don’t you recognize the badge? I am the current Judicial Bureau Director, Qian Yunshan! Ordered by the council to take suspect Chen Che back for interrogation!

Dare to obstruct official duties and you’ll be killed without mercy!"

"To hell with you, where did you come from, you damn dog? Barking here. The Director of the Judicial Bureau is my master!" Big Dog widened his eyes and roared angrily upon hearing this.

At these words, a hint of fear and an unclear darkness flashed on Qian Yunshan’s face, but thinking that woman couldn’t possibly return, he proudly straightened his chest and said: "Ha, that was in the past, the current director is me!

Get out of the way, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

In an instant, the members behind Qian Yunshan lifted their guns and aimed them at Big Dog and Little Dog.

Seeing the situation, Chen Che couldn’t help but snort coldly, walked to the entrance, looked up at Qian Yunshan, and said: "Director Qian, what wind blew you here? Since when did I become a suspect?"

Qian Yunshan saw Chen Che, and a smile appeared on his face, saying: "Chief Chen, there might be some misunderstanding between us, but this is the council’s orders, and I have no choice.

I’m just executing the council’s orders.

The council told me that there are some things you haven’t clarified, and asked me to invite you back so we can have a good discussion.

It’s my duty, so I ask Chief Chen to forgive me and not make it difficult for me, just come with me!"

"Director Qian is a dignified Judicial Bureau Director, and I am now a demoted nobody without any rank or title, how dare I cause trouble for Director Qian?"

"Then please come with me, Chief Chen." Qian Yunshan smiled.

"But I don’t think I need to go with you. You should know that no matter what crimes I committed, my baron identity has been cleansed completely. I don’t believe you have any reason to invite me for questioning. If there are questions to ask, it should be the council’s people coming here to ask me.

Clarify the hierarchy."

Qian Yunshan’s smile lightly faded away, he sneered and said: "Chief Chen, it seems you still don’t understand the trends of the times? Chief Chen, today you have to come back whether you want to or not.

After all, it’s a council order, so please don’t make it difficult for me, lest I’m forced to use force."

A trace of purple lightning flashed in Xia Na’s eyes, but Chen Che held Xia Na’s waist, stopping her anger.

"Oh? Interesting, a dignified director, yet so willing to be the council’s dog. Director Qian, you don’t even know when you’ve been sold out.

What if I don’t go back, what can you do?"

As soon as Chen Che finished speaking, hundreds more Judicial Bureau members surged from behind, Qian Yunshan didn’t pretend anymore, and sneered: "Chief Chen, why don’t you guess?"

"I guess you can’t take me away."

"Chief Chen, with our numbers, if I really move, can you stop me from harming the lady beside you?"

"Who told you that the only one protecting me is my Nana?"

Hiss!!!

The screech of brakes suddenly sounded, and Qian Yunshan abruptly turned to look back, only to see Security Battalion members and Special Operations Department members pouring in.

The ones leading were the three major captains!

Qian Yunshan’s face instantly darkened, the three confidants of An Nishang had always been the greatest obstacle to him controlling the entire Judicial Bureau, and now the three even dared to come.

Qian Yunshan sneered, he wanted to see if these three dared to defy the council’s orders and openly oppose the council, it would give him an excuse to act.

"The three captains came at the right time, please assist me in executing the council’s order, arresting suspect Chen Che."

Angduo stepped forward, sneered, and began to speak: "Qian Yunshan, you’re waving a feather as if it’s an arrow, why is Chief Chen suddenly a suspect? What gives you the right to order us?"

"Just because I, Qian Yunshan, am the Director of the Judicial Bureau! What, are you three trying to openly defy superior orders? If you three dare to openly defy my order now, I can revoke your positions on the spot, and throw you out of my Judicial Bureau!"

After saying this, Qian Yunshan felt spirited as if he stood at the pinnacle.

There’s no way around it, being a higher rank crushes people like hell!

As he was feeling proud and spirited, opening his eyes, he found that everyone’s gazes were no longer on him but behind him, even some of his confidants showed frightened eyes.

Qian Yunshan was stunned, what were they looking at?

He suddenly smelled a unique fragrance.

Upon smelling this fragrance, Qian Yunshan’s face instantly turned pale with fear, as if he’d seen a ghost.

This scent, he knew it well.

He heard a cold voice, one that was noble, carrying an unparalleled demeanor: "You are the Director of the Judicial Bureau, and who am I?"
