Chapter 39

The accident at the nuclear power plant once again shocked the central leaders. After the incident, the surveillance footage of Li She and the seven scholars' battle was confiscated by the security bureau and classified as top secret.

Chen Hai watched the less than three-minute video, dumbfounded. In the footage, Li She was not disguised, and after verification, the man in the video was undoubtedly the criminal Li She involved in the Liu family case.

The seven individuals displayed abilities that were identified as those of masters of the Transformational Power and S-class psychics. In an era where Transformational Power masters dominate, the sudden appearance of five centenarian monsters could not be ignored by the central government. Moreover, S-class psychics, as high-level combatants, are already a powerful presence with only two or three dozen in the security bureau, and it was unexpected that more S-class psychics would emerge. How did these strong individuals come about?

After an investigation, the information on the scholars and others was soon presented to everyone. Looking at the information, the scholars, the butcher, the Black Star, the Golden Light Monk, and others were all once famous figures who later went into seclusion and disappeared. No one expected them to reappear.

What about the nuclear power plant being drained of all its stored electricity for no reason? How did Li She manage to escape to Guangdong under heavy pursuit? These questions left the military star, Chen Hai, at a loss. He smoked one cigarette after another, and the central leaders frequently called to inquire. The reputation for inefficiency was already jeopardizing Chen Hai's future.

"This person is too terrifying!" Chen Hai said weakly. He had been confident about capturing Li She, but after seeing Li She's combat power, he suddenly felt powerless.

The video was also shown to the General Secretary, and the leaders repeatedly watched the three-minute footage, speechless.

The Liu family brothers stared with wide eyes. The murder of one's father is an unforgivable crime, but the abilities Li She displayed made everyone wary. Capturing such a person was difficult, and if he infiltrated Zhongnanhai, would these officials still be safe? How many troops would it take to capture him? How many people would die to kill him? When an individual's martial power reaches a terrifying level, even the state must be cautious. In everyone's eyes, Li She was now equivalent to a human nuclear bomb.

The ability to emit scorching and freezing true qi, instantly incinerating a Transformational Power master, and the ability to shoot true qi faster than a sniper bullet, along with the mysterious movement that left afterimages, all made everyone wary.

The General Secretary began by saying, "Speak up!"

Liu Baojia, the second son of the Liu family, said, "General Secretary, such a dangerous criminal must be eliminated. The suspect is definitely still in Guangdong. If we mobilize the entire military district, we can certainly kill him."

Li Shan, the head of the Li family, who was at odds with the Liu family, said disdainfully, "Hmph, what if we can't kill him? Four of the five dead were Transformational Power masters, and one was an S-class psychic. A Transformational Power master might not be killed even by an entire division. How many troops would it take to kill Li She? This is a time of peace. If our country mobilizes so many troops to hunt down one person, how will other countries view it? What if he becomes desperate?"

"Hmph!" Liu Baojia was speechless with anger. The other leaders also said, "Yes, what if this desperado becomes desperate?"

No one wanted to be implicated in the Liu family's affairs. The Liu family had a blood feud with Li She. Originally, it was none of their business, and even if the Liu family used the state's power to seek revenge, they wouldn't have cared. But after seeing Li She's combat power, no one dared to believe what Li She might do if pushed to the limit. Throughout history, a commoner's bravery could lead to bloodshed. If Li She decided to assassinate these officials, it would be disastrous. They didn't want to be buried with the Liu family. Thus, they all turned their guns on the Liu family, accusing them of using state power for personal gain.

Finally, even the Premier spoke up, "It's better to handle it coldly. After the incident at the nuclear power plant, some American media even said China had a 9/11. At this critical moment, all countries are watching us. With the Taiwan Strait, Japan, and the United States, many factors are at play. Li She will definitely flee overseas. We just need to closely monitor and send some people to clean up overseas."

The Premier's words, though tactful, reminded the Liu family that they could seek revenge, but not at the cost of the national interest. Everyone understood that the Premier's words were ostensibly for the national interest but also to avoid provoking Li She. By using the national interest to stabilize the Liu family and the pretext of sending experts to eliminate Li She overseas, the Premier gave the Liu family face.

With Li She's combat skills, sending any number of domestic experts would be futile. Unless the state was willing to launch a nuclear strike, no amount of troops in Guangdong would make a difference.

The General Secretary also decided, "Yes! The Premier's analysis is correct. Our most important task now is stable economic development. It hasn't been long since the 9/11 in the United States. If this incident is classified as a terrorist attack, the consequences would be severe. At this critical moment, all countries are watching us. The criminal must be eliminated, but if it happens domestically, it will be too much of a disturbance. Let's follow the Premier's plan!"

Although the Liu family was powerful, they could not withstand the attack of all the officials. The world is cruel. No matter how prestigious one is in life, death means the end. The Liu family brothers could only grit their teeth and remain silent. Political maneuvering is a game of interests. The Liu family using state power to seek revenge, though resented by many, was not openly criticized, as the murder of one's father is a natural human emotion. However, when it involved everyone's interests, it was a different story.

Disguised as Zhang Yabing, Li She, though puzzled by the decreasing police presence, still drove to Hong Kong. After the completion of the Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, the drive from Zhuhai to Hong Kong took little time, and with his Hong Kong businessman identity, he encountered no obstacles.

Upon arriving in Hong Kong, Li She immediately went to his residence, retrieved the bank card hidden there, and then disguised himself as Daniel, boarding a flight to Las Vegas, USA. Years ago, he had bought a villa in Las Vegas under the identity of Daniel. After over 20 hours of flying and several transfers, Li She finally returned home.

With a thought, Wang Yuyan and her mother were released from the Thieves' Order. Wang Yuyan and her mother, dazed, stepped forward. Seeing the blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned man, they instinctively jumped back, on guard, and shouted, "Who are you? Where are we?"

Li She was taken aback, then remembered he was still wearing Daniel's mask. He quickly removed it, revealing his Asian face.

"Ah! Husband, why is it you? Why are you disguised like this? Where are we?" Wang Yuyan asked in a soft voice.

Wang's mother also said, "Li, has something happened? Why are you disguised?"

Li She smiled helplessly and said, "Let me explain, one by one!" He pointed to everything in the room and said, "This is actually another world!"

"Another world? Is it the Immortal Realm? I remember we ascended with you!" Wang Yuyan looked around at the strange objects and said happily.

Li She's head ached. He picked up a book and began to explain, "How can I put it? If our original world is a page in this book, then this world is another page. I, Li She, am the current successor of the Thieves' Order. I accidentally activated the Thieves' Order's treasure, the Thieves' Order, which can traverse countless worlds and is said to eventually achieve physical immortality." Li She spent a long time explaining how he obtained the Thieves' Order, how he got into trouble with the Liu family and fled to the "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" world, and how he fell in love with Wang Yuyan and her mother. He did not hide the secrets of the Thieves' Order.

After finishing, Li She looked at Wang Yuyan and her mother like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for their response.

Li She even found Jin Yong's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" online for them to read.

After a long time, Wang Yuyan said, "I never thought Cousin Murong would abandon me for his ambition to restore his kingdom. Ha, I ended up with Duan Yu, the fool, and became the Empress of Dali?"

"Hmph, Duan Zhengchun, that scoundrel, still has women around him. I never thought I would die so tragically!" Wang's mother pouted.

The two women looked at Li She, who was visibly uneasy. They burst out laughing. "Ha, Li, where is the Li She who dominated the 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' world and was the strongest martial artist?" Wang's mother laughed.

"Yes, in my memory, you were fearless," Wang Yuyan laughed.

"No, I deceived you two, causing one to lose the chance to be an empress and saving the other's life! If you want to kill or punish me, I have no complaints," Li She said, raising his head.

"Ah, we poor women can only follow our husbands. Who made us meet you, this scoundrel," Wang Yuyan teased.

"At least I saved your life. A life-saving debt should be repaid with one's body," Wang's mother laughed.

Hearing their words, Li She jumped up excitedly and shouted, "So, you two don't resent me?" He hugged Wang's mother and Wang Yuyan and spun them around.

After following Li She, their hearts were entirely with him. The three of them began to plan.

"Li, since you've offended the Liu family, you can't return to China. And the Thieves' Order needs to be recharged to traverse countless worlds. Although we have 120,000 points, we can't just sit and wait," Wang's mother analyzed.

"Yes, Mother is right! And in this United States, we must also build our own power. The best way to face a country is to use another country against it," Wang Yuyan said.

Unlocking the 49th restriction of the Thieves' Order would achieve physical immortality. Wang Yuyan and her mother were determined to help Li She plan.

Li She nodded and said, "Yes! What Ah Luo said makes sense, and what Yuyan said is urgent. But the most important thing now is to get you two identities. And in public, don't call each other mother and daughter, okay?"

Wang's mother teased, "Oh, who likes to call 'mother' in bed?"

Wang Yuyan blushed and pouted, "Mother!"

With Wang Yuyan's words, the repressed lust in Li She's heart burst forth, and a fierce battle began.
