"The Awakening Department is going to collapse, which is a good thing."
Freshly slaughtered veal is grilled on a wire mesh, with butter dripping down, and eaten with sauce—it's tender, juicy, and delicious.
Deng Xian sat by the courtyard, with a maid massaging his legs beside him and another standing behind him massaging his shoulders.
"Have you reviewed the review checklist?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Deng Xian shook his head: "I didn't see it, but I asked around and found out that the administrative staff and the action team are not allowed to move without permission. Within a year, they will have to undergo seven reviews, three written tests, and one ideological verification, including their minister Li Xin, as well as several other cadres in the department."
Jiang Cheng asked, "Where is Qin Che?"
Deng Xian sighed: "Although he is already an advisor, he has not officially taken office in terms of procedures. Moreover, he is in Westburg and has never been involved in the affairs of the department, so he is not on the review list."
Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "I always feel that something is amiss."
"There's something fishy about it."
"I heard that Fu Xian himself backed down at the city council meeting, voluntarily handing over and temporarily shutting down the Awakening Department. If it were you, would you voluntarily relinquish power?"
Deng Xian shook his head: "The Yin Party and the Su Party are pressing us step by step, and there is also the instigation and scheming of the second-in-command, Yu Linfeng. Fu Xian has no choice but to back down. If it were me, I would definitely give in too."
"But Fu Dang's reaction... was very calm..."
Deng Xian glanced at him and asked, "What do you think?"
"Perhaps they accepted this fact in advance, or perhaps... the censorship department did not cause any loss to the Fu Party."
“This…” Deng Xian frowned and said, “Are you saying that the Fu faction might be secretly plotting something?”
"It is highly likely, and it corresponds to the newly arrived extraordinary advisor, Qin Che."
Deng Xian said, "The Scorpion Gang destroyed dozens of tons of his goods, and he didn't say a word. So-called extraordinary, I think he's nothing special."
Jiang Cheng sighed, "Although Wall One has 'weapons' to limit superhumans, it's ultimately not a good thing to be at odds with superhumans."
Lingbi City has stood strong to this day, not without encountering extraordinary events.
There are those who are willing to be friends, and of course, there are enemies.
If the city council hadn't possessed a trump card to deal with the supernatural, it wouldn't have existed until now.
This is also why superhumans rarely gain significant power in this desert. Historically, superhuman dictators or rulers have all disappeared into the annals of history. From the early period of the kingdom, and even further back in history, there have been many instances where superhumans were forced to submit to Lingbi City.
The superhuman is very powerful; it is a weapon of mass destruction.
But Lingbi City is stronger, possessing the power to restrain the extraordinary!
This power should not be used lightly, except when Lingbi is in danger of destruction.
"Hmph, the Fu faction has now made friends with those three extraordinary beings. Not only the Yin and Su factions, but also the Dong faction cannot accept this. This has touched the tacit agreement between the factions. The Fu faction has crossed the red line and will naturally have to pay the price. Whether it is Li Xin or Qin Che, they will be condemned by thousands, and I doubt they will dare to act recklessly."
“Brother, just you wait and see. Fu Xian is definitely not going to have a good time from now on. He has lost the trust of the royal family and has fallen out with Princes Yue and Shu. After all, they are family. No matter what, Fu Xian is just a retired prime minister. In addition, there are many factions within the royal armored forces, each doing what they want. The era of the Fu faction is probably coming to an end soon…”
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes, about to speak.
Suddenly!
The two maids behind them were knocked unconscious with two sharp blows. A blade suddenly appeared out of thin air, and the two maids had no chance to dodge it!
Jiang Cheng's neck was slit with a single stroke, and blood gushed out with a loud spurt!
Just as Deng Xian was about to eat the roasted meat, the meat was stained red with blood. Startled, he couldn't help but wet his pants. Luckily, he was sitting in a chair, otherwise his weak legs would have prevented him from standing up.
Qin Che, draped in a black cloak, stood before him. The flying blade that had killed Jiang Cheng flicked in mid-air, spilling blood, before swiftly returning to its hiding place within the cloak.
"You...you...you..."
Deng Xian was so frightened that his eyes widened, and he stammered, unable to speak clearly.
Qin Che removed the cloak from his head and laughed, "You've got quite the nerve. How are you going to attack me?"
“You are…you are Qin Che!” Deng Xian naturally recognized Qin Che’s appearance.
As an advisor to the Awakening Department, he must have his identity information recorded. Moreover, he is a senior member of the Elders' Council. Excluding Deng Xian, many people in the City Council know Qin Che and know that he can teleport, but they have never actually seen him.
Deng Xian glanced at Jiang Cheng's corpse lying on the ground and cursed, "You bastard! Do you know who he is?! You dare to kill him?!" His voice became much sharper towards the end.
Qin Che was too lazy to waste words with him, so he grabbed Deng Xian by the chin and lifted him up.
Deng Xian couldn't open his mouth, his neck ached and he was panting, his legs were shaking and struggling, and his hands were covering Qin Che's wrists but he couldn't pry them off. He could only cough continuously.
Powerless.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to settle accounts. You let the Scorpion Gang burn my goods, so you have to bear the consequences."
Deng Xian's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and stared fiercely at Qin Che, but he couldn't speak and was in extreme pain.
"Do you want to live or die? I'm giving you a chance to choose."
"……live……"
Deng Xian strained to utter that word.
He knew all too well that he was no match for the extraordinary; they could crush him with a flick of their wrist.
Only now, having experienced Qin Che's power, did he fully realize that things shouldn't have turned out this way.
Doesn't he have any reservations?
He was, after all, the largest shareholder of the Forest Group. How dare he kill him?!
Qin Che threw Deng Xian to the ground and said, "Hmm... judging by the time, my third batch of goods will arrive soon. Send a telegram to Poison Scorpion and tell him to intercept my goods."
"What...what are you going to do?" Deng Xian was startled, and his pupils involuntarily contracted slightly.
"I will have the army postpone their advance and only send supply convoys to Westburg. Scorpions will lie in ambush on the main road. Do nothing else, understand?"
Deng Xian gritted his teeth, already understanding the situation.
He wanted to trap them like turtles in a jar!
Slaughtering the Scorpion Gang on the road!
"Oh, by the way, you need to mobilize the entire Scorpion Corps and bring all of his officers over. Tell them that this escort mission is different from the past, with a large number of personnel, and that he should give it his all."
Deng Xian snorted coldly, "He won't come out in full force; Poison Scorpion is very arrogant."
"This...you don't need to worry about it." Qin Che gave him a half-smile.
When Deng Xian saw that look, he trembled all over. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng's corpse again. Blood had already flowed all over the ground, bright red and terrifying.
Finally, Deng Xian nodded: "Okay... I promise you, I'll send them a telegram right away."
