CHAPTER 268: CHAPTER 171: NO WAY BACK

Qu Jianlei let him sit in the sidecar and continued to race along the way, "Weird, the flying mecha hasn’t caught up yet?"

Xiao Moshan closed his eyes to rest, murmuring softly, "The flying mecha isn’t scary, what’s scary is the A-level warriors."

"Like when I just used wind attribute techniques, as long as they arrive early, they might notice something off about the element concentration."

The capabilities of the Foundation Establishment stage... Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and thought this possibility indeed existed.

Then he curiously asked, "A-level warriors... Do you think you can provoke such beings?"

Xiao Moshan replied indifferently, "Just myself, maybe a bit lacking, but with you, it’s enough."

Previously, he was wanted, but no A-level warrior came forward to deal with him. Firstly, it’s a waste of resources, secondly, it involves seizing others’ merits.

Most A-level warriors are thinking about rushing beyond A-level as quickly as possible to enter the gorge.

"Damn," Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but curse, "Isn’t this dangerous then?"

Unable to hold back from cursing, the two of them are like walking... lots of money and merits now.

Xiao Moshan hummed indifferently, "I’m talking about the A-levels in the gorge..."

"Moreover, even in the gorge, the ones who can master this kind of ability are few, so you don’t need to worry too much."

"Not worrying is a lie," Qu Jianlei mumbled, "Other things aside, their ability to fly is quite a headache."

The next moment, both of them turned their heads at once, "Should go that way!"

The decision was easy to make because there were dark clouds appearing there—clouds mean there might be rain.

Qu Jianlei swerved off the highway and sped through the wilderness, heading straight for the clouds, his mind still churning with a thought.

Why have the flying mecha and A-level warriors not been deployed yet?

What he hadn’t considered was that killing six Ultimate Warriors was trivial; the key was the potential he displayed which frightened the opponents.

The Douglas Clan already knew about the electromagnetic attribute techniques... Terry in the Celestial District is just such a warrior.

The people they sent to the Celestial District to handle affairs dare not return yet, fearing they’ll be intercepted by the Inspection Bureau on the way.

However, their family has informants arranged in the Celestial District, who can help cover up, but also transmit messages.

It was only then that the Douglas Clan realized, feeling that the mechanic consultant from the Inspection Bureau was in cahoots with Terry!

Initially, they had wanted reconciliation, but upon learning Jian Lei’s way of doing things, they gave up.

Unable to reconcile, the only option was to eliminate, yet that wretch kept hiding at home, not coming out.

To act in the Central City is quite risky; if anything goes awry, the family could be stripped from the Thirty-Six Noble Families.

They are actively plotting secretly, thinking about how they can eliminate the opponent without leaving a trace before being exposed.

No matter what potential that wretch has, as long as they kill him, he will have no value left.

This time Jian Lei rarely went out of the city, and the prepared action team quickly mobilized.

Six Ultimate Warriors, only four are from the Douglas Clan, the other two are hires.

Even two mecha were temporarily borrowed from other forces; there was no choice, Jian Lei’s exit from the city was too sudden.

As a result, they not only discovered that Jian Lei knew electromagnetic techniques but were also surprised to find that he actually mastered gold attribute techniques!

This is an Attributeless Warrior! Only existent in legend.

The key is the opponent is a B-level warrior! If time could be reversed, they’d spend everything to gain his understanding.

The appearance of the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade was unexpected. However, whether the gorge would kill Jian Lei for it is hard to tell.

At the very least, capturing Jian Lei alive for experiments, wouldn’t that be good?

Jian Lei’s honorary position at the Inspection Bureau is a minor issue, the gorge surely doesn’t care about the Bureau’s sentiment.

But the crux of the problem is, how the Douglas Clan plans to get the message out, bypassing the Inspection Bureau?

They truly have no channels to contact the gorge directly.

Precisely because of this, the pursuers haven’t caught up yet.

However, this matter cannot be concealed for long; the death of six Ultimate Warriors is already earth-shattering news.

Even the Inspection Bureau doesn’t dare to easily execute an Ultimate Warrior.

What’s more troubling is that more than one force is involved in this matter, and they are likely weighing gains and losses.

The Douglas Clan urgently discussed for two hours, and the Grand Elder made the decision resolutely!

"Go to the City Lord’s Mansion to confess. Otherwise, the family is really finished!"

Chapter 172: Taking Seriously (Fourth Update)

In the evening, Jamaari was summoned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

After understanding the ins and outs, he was momentarily filled with rage.

"Douglas Clan, who gave you the nerve to dare to harm my Inspection Bureau’s people?"

The Douglas Family Grand Elder, Herrit, replied weakly, "I heard he was just honorary, with a monthly salary of twenty silver coins."

The City Lord looked at Jamaari with an unusual gaze, "Twenty?"

"That guy doesn’t want to join the Inspection Bureau," Jamaari answered hesitantly, "I stuffed him with those twenty coins."

"That’s really..." The City Lord was a bit speechless, but such situations aren’t uncommon; people with skills, who wants to be bound?

Taking advantage of this moment, Herrit spoke again, "You let Mike test it; he could directly use the crystal cultivation method."

"Our family took an interest, that’s understandable, right?"

"And then you went to the Celestial District to ambush Terry and Yellow Scorpion?" Jamaari sneered coldly.

Having torn the veil, it’s better to speak openly, "I’ve already investigated those who acted!"
