Chapter 593
Chapter 593: Chapter 528: Can’t Keep Up with the Version Chapter 593: Chapter 528: Can’t Keep Up with the Version “It’s indeed completely different from Starshine City…”
Tao Yu looked at the images displayed on the tablet before him and felt a trace of admiration in his heart.
There weren’t many surveilled areas in the Inner City of Starshine, and the official networked surveillance only existed in certain special places.
In the city, as long as a murder was cleanly executed, it posed no problem.
As long as one kept a low profile and didn’t attract the attention of the Inspector, it was fine.
And in the Inner City of Starshine, where only World Breakers could soar above the rest, the Inspector was an invincible entity of the highest order.
This was a matter of habitual cognitive dissonance.
In reality, White Star City didn’t have much surveillance either, and even seemed to have even fewer cameras than the Inner City of Starshine!
But the scarcity of surveillance in public areas was one thing; when these powerful Pioneer forces gathered, they would have their own comprehensive ‘access control system’!
The entire Fire Bull Breeding and Cultivation Company seemed, on the surface, to only have those visibly impressive mechanical security guards.
But in reality, it covered nearly the entire Tianxing district!
A complete system of drone surveillance, paired with AI screening.
It might seem like many people passed by every day, but in reality, each and every one of them had already been vetted.
“What?
Just because your company flagged me, that makes me suspicious?”
Tao Yu asked again after watching the fast-forwarded playback of the footage.
“So I’m here just to ask the gentleman to cooperate and remove his mask, please.
If it’s a misunderstanding, I will naturally apologize.”
The voice of the ‘passerby’ with a vigilant tone sounded very formulaic, as if it was the most natural thing in the world!
“I think that is something only the Security Team has the authority to do.”
Under the mask was Teng Lianghong’s face, and who knows if the Yue Family had his information?
But as soon as Tao Yu finished speaking, the other party took out a badge direct from his chest, and he really was from the Security Team!
Yue Tao, member of the third squad of the Tianxing District Security Team.
Wow…
“Even if it’s the Security Team, does that mean they can do whatever they want without any reason?”
Tao Yu seemed somewhat speechless.
Yue Tao also appeared somewhat impatient and didn’t want to continue this tug of war.
Instead, he spoke into the walkie-talkie on his shoulder,
“There’s a suspicious character here, send over an arrest warrant.”
‘Send over’—the certainty in his tone fully reflected the Yue Family’s influence in this jurisdiction.
And almost as soon as Yue Tao had finished speaking, several drones flew in from various directions, surrounding the area.
Over at Fire Bull Breeding and Cultivation Company’s building, three security guards with mechanical enhancements started walking this way.
The passersby nearby immediately cleared out an area, alertly taking detours in other directions.
Some people cast additional glances, but no one lingered!
“Would it suffice to remove the mask?”
Tao Yu’s tone gradually softened.
I just came to check the place out, and I haven’t done anything yet—this really is an injustice.
“It’s too late now, please come with me, the arrest warrant will be here shortly.”
Click~
From beneath the drones came a series of locking sounds.
“You’re really something, pulling a check for just an extra look, it’s really too much.”
Tao Yu didn’t go along with their idea.
Since he’d been discovered, it was time to escalate the conflict anyway!
At least one thing in White Star City was somewhat similar to Starshine.
That is, whatever the powerful do is right!
Why can the other side be so overbearing?
Because the Yue Family is powerful enough!
Zzzt zzzt zzzt~
Blue sparks of electricity began to dance over Tao Yu’s body, his cloak fluttering without wind, and a raging aura immediately burst forth, raising a gust of air and cracking the bricks under his feet.
This aura caused Yue Tao’s pupils to contract slightly, a World Breaker!
Tao Yu originally thought this move would make the other party back off, since he couldn’t exactly use World Breaker techniques here so casually.
There would be an Inspector’s intervention if he exceeded the threshold, and right now, he was actually containing his aura within the limits.
Generally speaking, a World Breaker’s face would be honored anywhere.@@novelbin@@
Just an extra look shouldn’t…
“Quick, notify the Inspector!
It’s a World Breaker!”
Yue Tao quickly retreated, and then spoke into his walkie-talkie.
Almost simultaneously, atop the Fire Bull Breeding and Cultivation Company building, a fiery stream of light flashed past, stopping twenty meters in the air and looking down at Tao Yu, whose body twinkled with thunder.
“Humph, who dares to be so reckless within the City!”
Upon seeing the clothing on the other person, Tao Yu was also somewhat taken aback.
Good heavens, the Inspector of this district is directly from the Yue Family?
Ah, this…
“A bit behind the times…”
Tao Yu rubbed his temples.
Perhaps he had improved a bit too quickly.
Indeed, it seemed he had truly become able to stand against such a colossal being.
His traditional foothold and stealthy approaches from the Outer City no longer seemed to fit.
However, it was just as he had estimated; among the Inspectors, those of Catastrophe Level were indeed the minority.
The Yue Family had not just one Catastrophe Level powerhouse, but evidently, they wouldn’t readily lower themselves to such tasks.
They might need to oversee the pastures in the Abyss, especially since they’ve been clashing tremendously with the Gu Family lately.
With this thought, Tao Yu felt like he had unraveled the case.
Because of the recent friction between the Yue Family and the Gu Family, the level of guard was perhaps naturally higher, and he just happened to collide with it!
“Forget it, no matter the process, achieving the result is what matters…”
Tao Yu glanced at the Inspector enveloped in scarlet mist.
In terms of aura, slightly inferior only to Teng Lianghong.
With the strength to dispatch regular World Breakers in an instant, and means of controlling the area, indeed fit for the role of Inspector.
As the figure that dyed the streets with an evening glow, using the fiery red of the dusk to limit the surroundings, seemed to be controlling potential destruction, Tao Yu directly removed his mask.
“The audacious one is you!”
“Teng Lianghong?!”
The figure enshrouded in the fiery red mist, whose presence cast a sunset glow over the vicinity, changed color.
It appeared he instantly recognized Tao Yu’s “identity”!
Then he saw “Teng Lianghong” change into a blue streak of light that shot up into the heavens, charging straight at him!
With the Legion’s Strength, Tao Yu could summon almost half of Teng Lianghong’s power to augment himself.
But that was only an augmentation!
It’s not the only ability he could use!
Tao Yu’s own abilities wouldn’t be suppressed in the slightest!
Even though he would be careful with his methods, maintaining the ruse of Teng Lianghong’s identity, but as someone who had already mastered the Thunder Method Artistic Conception and possessed such a weapon as the Yin Yang and the Five Elements Divine Thunder, mimicking many of Teng Lianghong’s techniques with his own body was effortless.
While the red twilight enveloped the vicinity, several Thunder Prisons also sealed off the area.
Tao Yu did not wish to challenge the authority of White Star City, so he would inevitably control any excess effects and damage.
As long as the impact wasn’t too extensive, with the Yue Family having instigated things, a fight was just a fight, and leaving afterwards shouldn’t lead to anyone coming after him.
Well, even if they did investigate, it wouldn’t matter.
The deeds of Teng Lianghong would fall upon the Assassin’s League…
Boom~
The heavens were illuminated by thunder, tearing through the Inspector’s fiery red Shield.
At the same time, Tao Yu did not forget to mutter,
“The old man only took a couple of extra glances, and you question me so, I endured and endured, until I could no longer bear it!”
Five bolts of lightning, like whips, shot out from Tao Yu’s hands, their tricky angles and lightning-fast speed instantly scattered the defense around the figure, hurling the Inspector, Yue Yun, to the ground.
Despite the repression and protection over the surroundings, and the inherent limits set by the World Will, even the robust concrete ground now sported a crater several meters in radius, with cracks spreading out from it.
Yue Yun lay within, his clothes scorched black, hair standing on end and emitting wisps of smoke, appearing extremely disheveled.
However, as both sides intentionally controlled their power fluctuations, it didn’t cause too much collateral damage; only the blast of wind swept through, shattering a few streetlights within the Thunder Prison and bursting a fire hydrant.
High-pressure water sprayed out…
And after giving the Inspector a thrashing, Tao Yu didn’t proceed to capitalize on his victory.
For he had already felt a seemingly indifferent gaze sweep over him from within the building, carrying a hint of warning.
There was a Catastrophe Level from the Yue Family stationed in this building, and a strong one at that!
Yet, he did not seem to have any intention to intervene, allowing a family Inspector of not insignificant status to be taught a lesson.
“Humph, I’ll give you face today; don’t be so overbearing in the future, it’s too much.”
Tao Yu put the mask back on as he landed.
As he said this, his gaze was fixed on the building, not sparing the disheveled Inspector more than a glance.
Then, he brushed off his sleeves and walked away.
“Clean this place up, don’t drag me into it afterward.”
With that, he walked through the sprinkling water from the hydrant and quickly disappeared…
What do you think?
