CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 211: SUPREME’S STANCE

When Central City fights the Rebel Army, they rarely leave survivors.

Even if they capture someone alive, they basically interrogate them briefly and then execute them, cases like Charlind are very rare.

It’s not that they don’t want to obtain intelligence from the Rebel Army, but there are many inconveniences, which we won’t elaborate on.

Anyway, identifying the Fallen is relatively easy. If they mingle within the Settlement, they can’t cause too much trouble.

This time, Gorge sent people to support Central City, three A-levels, but they didn’t make it in time for the great battle.

Yesterday, the entire city was searched, and indeed some hidden rebel soldiers were caught, though the numbers weren’t large, most captives are in the hands of Central City.

Chen Weiyu was responsible for coordinating, and she doesn’t have any rebels in her custody.

Gigantic Supreme also contacted two other A-levels, asking them if they had any gains.

The two of them indicated that their teams haven’t captured many rebels, and most are small fry.

The upper and middle levels of the rebel forces are not easy to capture alive. When they encounter difficulties, they choose to commit suicide.

The result of interrogating small fry is also that they want to rescue Charlind, and if they can’t, they’d find a chance to kill him.

Gigantic Supreme found the matter somewhat puzzling, "Making such a big fuss for a mere B-level?"

But he couldn’t be bothered to think too much, "Alright, I’ll take a stroll around. If I sense any rebels, I’ll inform you to catch them."

After he finished speaking, his body just vanished into thin air.

An A-level Warrior couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Supreme is indeed Supreme, but if he were willing to act, capturing the mid-level rebel forces would also be possible."

"Don’t talk nonsense," another A-level Warrior was startled, "It’s already good enough that Supreme is willing to help us find people."

The rebels don’t have systematic cultivation methods, and even if they occasionally obtain some cultivation techniques, they may not suit their mutated bodies.

So having a B-level like Charlind has already allowed him to firmly become the leader of the rebels.

For this kind of ragtag group, being able to invite Supreme to take action is already quite good, let alone expecting him to do it himself?

Chen Weiyu didn’t pay attention to this topic; Supreme has his own style. "Gentlemen, I have some news..."

She mentioned Bellani’s issue, and neither of the two A-levels responded.

After a while, one of them snorted, "It seems Gorge needs a proper overhaul."

The other opposed, "The decision to overhaul isn’t up to you and me. What if it causes panic?"

"It won’t lead to panic," Chen Weiyu had already thought about this issue, "With Supreme in command, no rebels would slip into Gorge."

Yet this one asked earnestly, "And Bellani? How do we investigate sympathizers of the rebels like this?"

"Alright, let’s drop this issue," the other one stated, "Later, have Gigantic Supreme make the final decision..."

"I’m a bit puzzled as to how Central City dares to interrogate our people?"

At this point, communication had already come through; Gigantic Supreme had found a rebel safe house.

No wonder everyone respects him as Supreme, this perception efficiency isn’t something ordinary people can rival.

In the afternoon, Qu Jianlei and the other two were cultivating in a room when he suddenly furrowed his brows and stood up.

"Both of you, come to my room for a moment; there’s a mental fluctuation!"

Xiao Moshan, although having a leg disability, came even faster than Bentley.

Qu Jianlei released an extremely subtle Blinding Technique, and after roughly five minutes, he let out a sigh of relief, "It’s fine now."

Xiao Moshan knitted his brows, "It seems the Supreme from Gorge has arrived."

Bentley curiously asked, "Supreme... can cultivate Spiritual Attributes?"

"It’s not that easy," Xiao Moshan shook his head, "But I heard that after advancing to Supreme, Spiritual Power will increase."

Qu Jianlei gave him a strange look, "I’m a bit curious, is there anything you don’t know?"

"Yes," Xiao Moshan replied without hesitation, "I don’t know how to deduce cultivation methods."

Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes silently, not bothered to engage with the guy anymore...

Gigantic Supreme really didn’t disappoint everyone’s expectations.

He has been in Central City for two days and identified more than twenty rebel hideouts, housing over a hundred and twenty rebels.

However, what made people involuntarily complain is: He really didn’t take action against the rebels.

Some people thought it was pretentious, others believed: Supreme indeed shouldn’t take action over such minor matters, or it would be too demeaning.

The result of him not taking action was that although the warriors have strived to take captives alive, not many rebels survived.

Especially towards the end, due to the interconnections among rebels, many chose to commit suicide once the warriors approached.

Committing suicide was considered better, while some rebels directly triggered self-destruct devices, self-immolating!

Fortunately, most of the rebels weren’t hiding in the city, so not many citizens were affected.

In the end, two minor leaders and seven small fry were captured among the rebels.

One of the minor leaders even hid a self-igniting device inside his body.

Luckily, Gorge also learned from previous underestimations and detected it with instruments.

The small leader, seeing the situation was unfavorable, decisively self-destructed, but only destroyed a piece of equipment.

The remaining eight people were naturally to be interrogated by those from the Gorge, yet there were still no new findings.

Charlind couldn’t be bothered with the follow-up developments. Having cleared the surroundings of Central City, he planned to return to the Gorge.

At this time, three A-level Warriors and several B-level Warriors requested an audience, bringing up the matter of Bellani.

Charlind had already heard about it, but had not paid attention, and his attitude remained unchanged.

Upon hearing that the three hoped he would step in and straighten out the Gorge, he frowned.

"Alright, I know. After I get back, I’ll have a word with them... How big a deal is this, really?"

However, one A-level Warrior expressed, "Central City has gone too far this time."

"Not only did they interrogate our people, but they also made a spectacle of it... yet, when it’s their problem, they protect their own!"

"Is that so?" Charlind was hearing this for the first time, and couldn’t help but inquire further.

He then stated, "Central City has the authority to deal with their own issues, so let them handle it, but..."

"Anyone who dared to mess with the Gorge convoy should be noted, and when the opportunity arises, let them understand... there should be reverence!"

Another A-level Warrior spoke up, "Wei Wushuang protects them vigorously."

"Wei Wushuang..." Charlind rarely hesitated, knowing that guy has a chance of ascending to Supreme.

However, in the end, he still unconcernedly said, "If he really advances, I can’t control him."

He’s unwilling to target Wei Wushuang now, but when that person becomes Supreme too... they’ll talk then.

Charlind wasn’t very interested in the topic, and after speaking, he disappeared in a flash, leaving behind only a sentence, "I’m leaving now."

The three A-level and several B-level Warriors looked at each other: Truly carefree and uninhibited to be Supreme.

At this time, a B-level Warrior couldn’t help but speak up, "That A-level with Gold Attribute... could it be Jian Lei?"

Actually, he wasn’t the only one who thought of this possibility, he was just the first to say it out loud.

In the Gorge, there aren’t many who have a good impression of Jian Lei, but Chen Weiyu somewhat appreciates his talents.

She spoke up, "Don’t guess wildly, the lost data from the research institute relies on that guy."

Jian Lei took the backup storage, resulting in a resource loss, unfortunate as it may be, but it is what it is.

What’s worse is that he took all the research institute’s data in a bundle, leaving the institute in agony.

Many unique copies were lost, the involved value aside, many ongoing projects came to a halt.

So, it’s understandable that Chen Weiyu thinks this way.

But an A-level Warrior wasn’t satisfied, "Our Gorge has always been impartial toward Central City... this is a basic attitude."

"Lost data can be reorganized slowly, but certain indulgences breed a mindset of taking chances, which is absolutely unacceptable."

Another A-level Warrior also said, "Supreme has spoken, definitely can’t let this go... pity Charlind won’t act."

Not let this go? Chen Weiyu glanced at him speechlessly, "So now... we go search for him?"

Isn’t that courting death? This A-level Warrior clearly knows Jian Lei’s strength, the Gorge has studied him quite a bit in the past two years.

He could only reluctantly answer, "The mission is done, we should return, let’s wait for him in the Gorge!"

Chen Weiyu couldn’t help but retort, "What if he doesn’t go to the Gorge?"

That person smiled indifferently, "Unless he doesn’t want to achieve Supreme..."

From the moment Qu Jianlei sensed Charlind probing with Spiritual Power, he felt uneasy.

The opponent’s Spiritual Power quality might not be higher than his, but their skillful application was significantly better.

Previously he thought, having mastered an un-cultivable Spiritual Attribute and being A-level, entering and leaving the Gorge posed little danger.

But reality showed him that Supreme not only crushed him in Combat Power but even his proudest Spiritual Attribute couldn’t match up.

Moreover, he clearly understood that his reputation in the Gorge "probably wasn’t very good."

This time the Supreme moved, next time... might again be an exception because of him.

Thus, the three of them stayed hidden in the small courtyard, always ready to make a run for it.

Five days later, Black Panther finally arrived, informing them that the main forces of the Gorge had withdrawn—the crucial part being Supreme’s departure.

He was grateful that Jian Lei’s group of three took the risk of being recognized to make a move.

So he proactively asked, is there anything you want to do, is there anything I can help with?

The three discussed briefly and decided to follow Bentley to the tomb first.

Worried they might stir up trouble again, Black Panther decided to drive his specialized vehicle to take them to the cemetery.

However, when they arrived at the cemetery, Bentley looked puzzled, "Why is the cemetery here?"

Black Panther, hearing this, asked him in surprise, "How long has it been since you last visited the grave?"

Bentley blinked, "What do you mean?"
