Chapter 65

"Rest assured, I have it all figured out."

Gu Hai responded and hung up the phone.

Ye Xiao put away his phone, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Actually, he had been trying to keep a low profile. At least so far, no one knew his true identity.

But there were always some people who didn't want him to have an easy time.

He suddenly understood the heroes of the previous life's superhero movies.

When your strength surpasses everyone around you, and they can't control you, feeling fear and unease, you are guilty.

Even if you haven't done a single bad thing!

Even if you might be a perfect good person.

You still can't change the prejudice in people's hearts.

People must tie you up, hold you firmly in their hands, to feel safe and to think you are a good person.

Even if at this moment, you occasionally kill a few people, no one will touch you.

Why?

Because at this moment, you are just a dog in their eyes, controlled by them.

You can bring them huge benefits, far exceeding the small cost of your crimes, so the crimes are not wrong.

What so-called justice is just a lie that the weak put on a brave face to maintain.

Ye Xiao is not Superman, nor is he a bad person, but he doesn't mind doing a little bad!

...

In the garden outside the City Lord's residence, Mr. Zhao watched the video, fuming with rage.

"Severe punishment, absolutely no leniency!"

He crossed his arms behind his back, pacing back and forth, occasionally drawing his right hand and shouting:

"Throw all the captured guys in jail, each for ten years! A bunch of fools, good for nothing, bad for everything!"

Du Tianyu said coldly:

"Mr. Zhao, isn't this a bit over the top? They were just dealing with the situation, and it was your people who started it."

"Du Tianyu, what do you mean? You still want to protect them?"

"Not about protecting anyone, just dealing with the facts. I disagreed with this from the beginning. How can you treat such a high-level expert lightly? As a result, they were recognized by a few kids, and now you blame them?"

"You—! Fine! Fine! Fine! Du Tianyu, I see you're really getting cocky. I will report to Zhongzhou that you are incompetent and have found no leads."

"Go ahead and report, report as much as you want! You came here just to build your resume. You can mess around, but I, Du Tianyu, can't. I am the City Lord of Jianghai City!

In terms of background, I can't match the people behind you, Mr. Zhao. If it comes to it, I'll go home and farm!"

"Fine, if you don't want this position, there are plenty of others who do. I will report to..."

Boom!

Before he could finish, a golden blade of light, dozens of meters long, fell straight down, splitting him in two. The blade's momentum tore his body apart, leaving not a trace.

The blade of light continued, hitting the ground and creating a huge gully that stretched for a hundred meters.

Dust and smoke filled the air, and many of the City Lord's guards quickly gathered.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Quick! Protect the City Lord."

The voices were loud and chaotic.

Du Tianyu stood there, stunned.

It was obvious to him, even with his toes, that the person who acted must be one of the mysterious strong individuals.

He just didn't expect that the other party would kill so decisively, giving Mr. Zhao no chance to live.

Too ruthless!

This move scared him so much that he didn't dare to move, and cold sweat started to pour from his pores.

After a while, he finally reacted, looking around. Apart from the guards, there was no one else.

This made him slightly relieved.

It seemed the other party had left.

However, looking at the blade marks on the ground, his expression turned serious again.

The other party could hear their conversation without a sound, indicating a very high level of cultivation.

The other party could have killed Mr. Zhao silently but chose not to. What does this mean?

It means they don't take the Zhao family in the capital seriously, so they killed Mr. Zhao right in front of him.

It's like trampling on an ant.

This also indirectly tells him that they don't want to be bothered.

Otherwise, the next time, it would be him who dies.

It's a threat and a warning.

Taking a deep breath, Du Tianyu said seriously:

"Tonight's incident, no one is to leak any information."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison. In fact, even if Du Tianyu didn't say it, they wouldn't dare to speak.

That's a great master.

Elusive like a dragon, killing as easily as eating or drinking.

Who would dare to provoke such a person? Even if you had a hundred heads, they wouldn't be enough for him to cut off!

"Also, release the young people in the prison. From today, no one in Jianghai City is allowed to discuss the two strong individuals. All posts must be deleted, and no future posts will be allowed to pass moderation."

"Yes!"

After issuing several orders, Du Tianyu quickly walked into the City Lord's residence to report the incident.

After hearing his report, the other party was silent for a moment, then praised Du Tianyu's handling of the situation.

"You did a good job with this. From today, no one should pay attention to those high-level individuals."

"Yes, what about Mr. Zhao..."

"He deserved to die. Write a report and submit it truthfully. I believe the Zhao family won't say anything when they see it."

After hanging up, Du Tianyu let out a long sigh.

He knew that this matter was now completely over.

There's no way around it; power is nothing compared to strength.

The other party might have several great masters!

If he had to blame someone, it would be the Zhao family for raising Mr. Zhao to be so foolish, acting without considering the consequences.

However, this also made him curious.

Why did these strong individuals come to Jianghai City?

Is there some secret in Jianghai City?

He thought for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and went to write the report.

...

At this moment, Ye Xiao had already appeared several streets away.

The reason he didn't show up wasn't because he was afraid of being recognized. He could erase the other party's memory of him with a thought.

He didn't show up because dealing with someone like Mr. Zhao was too low.

If it weren't for the fact that not killing him would cause more trouble, Ye Xiao wouldn't even bother to act.

It would dirty his hands.

Du Tianyu was a good person, a good City Lord, so he didn't touch him.

After this, he figured he had made his point, and the alliance probably wouldn't come looking for him again.

Of course, it would be best if they didn't come.

If they do... they won't be going back.
