CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 208: RIGHTEOUSNESS ABOVE ALL

Black Panther could also guess why Jian Lei and his group wanted to keep him occupied—the atmosphere in Central City was just too tense now.

But could he refuse?

Not to mention the Law Enforcement Team, everyone in the Ultimate Warrior circle knew that it was Jian Lei who helped him, a disabled person, out of a predicament!

In fact, commands for capturing Jian Lei were never given to him.

Because everyone knew that giving commands would not only embarrass him, but might also create another wanted criminal.

Not to mention that even today, there are still a considerable number of people speaking up for Jian Lei.

Now that Jian Lei and his group were having a hard time hiding, came to him for a little cover, it was absolutely impossible for him to refuse.

So he simply decided, "You all don’t rush off, stay and help guard the checkpoint, and at noon, help bring some food."

This invitation was also tacitly approved by others—facing the vicious rebels, having some more experts around was always a good thing.

"Alright then," Xiao Moshan was the first to agree, he knew very well that this was the safest place for now.

Seeing that they were relaxed, Black Panther simply started chatting with them.

Of course, the others ignored him slacking off—if Captain Black Panther was so informal with them, their combat strength couldn’t be too bad, could it?

In fact, Black Panther was also quite curious, "I haven’t seen you for two years, I thought you went to the Gathering Area, why are you still hiding here?"

"I did go to the Gathering Area," Qu Jianlei spread his hands helplessly, "I just got back on the second day."

"Really?" Black Panther looked at him suspiciously, "Is your luck that bad?"

"I’m Terry," Bentley spoke softly, "Jian Lei went to Zone Zhou Character to find me."

He and Black Panther had actually met, right in Qu Jianlei’s small courtyard, but at that time he was in disguise.

"Terry?" Black Panther looked at him in surprise, staring at his broken arm, and said thoughtfully, "It really seems like it."

Bentley nodded slightly to Black Panther, "I must thank you for your long-term protection and care."

"No need to be so polite," Black Panther shook his head with a smile, "I really didn’t expect even you to come."

Bentley rolled his eyes and said wearily, "I was originally from Central City, alright?"

Black Panther really didn’t know much about Bentley’s background, so he asked, "Then why did you run down below?"

Bentley answered helplessly, "You think I wanted to run? I was forced to run away after my entire family was killed."

"Your whole family was killed?" Black Panther couldn’t help but be shocked, "Who did it?"

"There were many people involved," Bentley answered without hesitation, "the mastermind was from the Bunker Clan."

"Oh my," at these words, Black Panther inhaled sharply, "The Bunker Clan was exterminated, did you do it?"

"It was him," Bentley pointed a little at Qu Jianlei.

"I actually wanted to take revenge myself, but... wasn’t I set up by the Douglas Family?"

"Finally, one more unsolved case has been clarified," Black Panther looked at Qu Jianlei, "Jian Lei really is... a good brother."

Qu Jianlei didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids, "You’re not bad either."

While talking, without realizing it, it was already noon, and Bentley volunteered to buy lunch.

At this moment, Black Panther also guessed that the other person must be Clear Wind Shadowless Blade.

He said with a laugh and cry, "You all really trust me, I’m flattered..."

Just then, a motorcade came from the direction of Central City, four cars in total, led by a large off-road vehicle.

Without looking closely, just by looking at the exterior and aura, one could feel the luxury and dominance of the leading car.

The driver stuck his head out and nodded at the guard, "Thanks for your hard work, let us through."

After checking all morning, both inbound and outbound, the checks were rigorous, especially for those going out.

With the major search of Central City, those coming in faced too many checks.

If the rebels managed to escape the city, it really would be "the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish leap."

For the driver of this motorcade to say this, he was being somewhat arrogant.

The guard certainly couldn’t agree, but the driver impatiently said, "Call your supervisor over here."

Black Panther’s face darkened immediately upon seeing this, "This is just... really excessive."

He said it was excessive, but took no actual action, Qu Jianlei understood immediately... Could it be from the Gorge?

However, the affairs of the Gorge weren’t something he could stop—they had A-level permissions and beyond, was he going to risk death?

However, at this moment, Xiao Moshan gave him a meaningful look.

Qu Jianlei really didn’t understand what that look meant.

The two had cooperated for many years, with agreed secret codes, but the codes couldn’t encompass all unexpected events.

But upon seeing that look, he instinctively released his spiritual power, and his face immediately changed.

Just then, Black Panther raised his hand and waved, the meaning was clear: Let them pass!

Qu Jianlei wanted to stop them, but he really couldn’t—right now, he was just a spectator.

So he asked softly, "No problem?"

Upon hearing this, Black Panther’s hair stood on end.

He understood this one too well, he usually didn’t want to speak, much less get involved in daily trivial matters.

```

But it’s too late to change things now, so he softly asks, "Is there a problem?"

"At least a dozen Fallen," Qu Jianlei’s lips don’t move, and his voice is faint, yet extremely clear.

"You can report your suspicions, whether they believe it or not is their issue, it has nothing to do with you."

Black Panther’s brows furrow slightly, he asks in a low voice, his voice even trembling a little, "Are you sure about this?"

Qu Jianlei gives him a sidelong glance, too lazy to even speak—Do I really need to joke with you?

"I must report this," Black Panther raises his watch, glancing at Qu Jianlei, intentionally or not.

Qu Jianlei remains unmoved—I’ve already confirmed it, what more do you want me to do?

Black Panther feels a pang in his heart, he can’t help but sigh, "Those are people from the Gorge."

"So what if they’re from the Gorge?" Xiao Moshan sneers, "Every place has its scum."

Black Panther hardens his resolve, asking in a low voice, "If I seize them, will you help me?"

Qu Jianlei looks at him in surprise, a bit taken aback that he has this kind of courage?

But he answers without hesitation, "No problem."

Meanwhile, both Xiao Moshan and Bentley nod in agreement.

The three fugitives at this moment unanimously ignore the troubles they might face.

"Wait a minute," Black Panther raises his voice, raising a hand to signal, "Check if there are any prohibited devices in the vehicle!"

Four cars slowly pass through the checkpoint, just about to speed up.

A quick-thinking guard steps right in front of the vehicle, while the blocking vehicles not far away also start.

Everyone guessed that the convoy’s identity wasn’t simple, but since someone from the Law Enforcement Team wanted to intercept, intercept they must.

Don’t think too much, don’t ask questions, so as not to bring trouble upon yourself.

The lead driver’s face darkens as he sticks his head out, glaring at Black Panther, "Are you looking for trouble?"

Black Panther, manipulating the wind elements, slowly stands from his seat, hands behind his back, speaking calmly, "It’s my duty."

The driver laughs in anger, "I don’t believe you can’t recognize us, who gave you the guts, huh?"

Black Panther keeps his hands behind his back, not to show off, but to discreetly make hand gestures.

His subordinates, a C-level Warrior and two Modified Warriors, were inwardly surprised upon seeing his gesture.

What’s the origin of the lead car? Even if they aren’t sure, they’ve got an idea.

Seeing Black Panther make a "Level One Battle Prep" gesture was quite shocking.

But then again, working with the Law Enforcement Team, they encounter all sorts of strange things.

Even if they haven’t experienced it firsthand, they’ve at least heard about it.

As for offending the Gorge, potentially causing trouble... that’s a later issue, and merely a possibility.

If they disobey orders, the Law Enforcement Team will definitely not let them get away, there’s no room for luck here.

The C-level Warrior, with an Earth attribute, flashes to the side front of the convoy.

The two Modified Warriors also flash into the fortifications, grabbing the mounted heavy machine guns.

The driver sees things turning bad, his expression changes, "Take action!"

He doesn’t know where he slipped up, but he knows that if they are checked, they’re done for.

The vehicle-mounted machine gun on the car roars to life in an instant.

A guard who was a moment too slow to react is immediately riddled with bullets.

The position where Black Panther is, is also a focus of attack.

However, before the driver’s shout of "take action" and before the gunfire erupts, dozens of golden shields appear out of thin air.

The shields floating in the air firmly protect the four of them.

Seeing this, the driver’s expression changes dramatically, "Damn... it’s A-level, we’re doomed."

He’s only a C-level Warrior, but the Gorge isn’t short on A-level warriors, he can see at a glance that it’s a typical A-level with a Gold attribute.

To have an A-level show up at this unremarkable checkpoint, not only outmatches them, but something’s off!

Qu Jianlei provides the defense, while Black Panther uses a Wind Roll Skill, attacking the last vehicle.

He doesn’t intend to deal with the lead car, that’s a task for the Clear Wind Shadowless Blade, since his advancement is later than Mo Huaitian and he has a disability.

But Xiao Moshan also doesn’t intend to deal with the lead car, because although it looks like an off-road car, the armor is definitely heavy enough.

He directly shouts, "The second car!"

As he shouts, he uses a Wind Roll Skill, rolling towards the second car.

"The lead car is mine!" Bentley shouts, his left hand using a Finger Technique, and somehow a snake-shaped dagger draws from his belt.

Since his injury, he’s slower in releasing Thunder Dragon, but using the electromagnetic attribute this way is still rare.

A lightning bolt as thick as an arm strikes the lead car straight on, followed by a second bolt.

The second car and the last car wobble unstably under the Wind Roll Skill, on the verge of overturning.

This is even with both cars being heavily reinforced; an ordinary truck would have flipped long ago.

The people in the car are thrown about, and even those with seatbelts have no idea where their bullets are going.
