Chapter 1123: Calm the Turmoil
Chapter 1123: Calm the Turmoil
Diego's words were followed by a sudden hiss in his cochlea worm, indicating that the signal had been interfered with.
His face twisted with a fierce expression as he instructed the telegraph team, “Send the message, execute Plan Two!”
By the time the telegraph team had finished sending the message, the team members had already launched tethering darts at the opposite high-rise building. The dart heads embedded themselves firmly into the walls, creating a tether between the two buildings.
Diego immediately leaped onto the tether and ran across it toward the opposite building. A few of his guards followed, while the majority of the team retreated via the stairwell exit.
Despite the sudden change in circumstances, their actions remained orderly, a testament to their rigorous training and confidence in their own abilities. Besides the armed personnel, two Third Limit Fighters were also part of the team, greatly increasing their chances of breaking through.
Diego leaped across three high-rise buildings before finally landing on the ground. Just as he steadied himself, one of his guards pushed him suddenly.
Reacting swiftly, he rolled with the force, taking a quick glance backward. He saw his guard being overwhelmed by a swift and agile figure. The two exchanged rapid blows, creating shockwaves of displaced air around them.
However, the guard seemed to have lost the initiative due to the push, and after a few exchanges, he was struck by a powerful punch, flying backward and crashing into a nearby building.
Diego felt a chill run through him, knowing that his guard was a Third Limit Fighter. This meant the attacker was also one.
As he landed from his roll, he didn't hesitate, activating the implanted burst drugs within him. He sprinted toward the street exit with all his might. Meanwhile, gunfire erupted behind him as his guard team opened fire on the attacker.
Wei Dong ignored the bullets hitting his armor and visor, preparing to charge at the opponent he had just felled. However, as he took a step forward, he stumbled. A distant, street-shaking boom echoed, the sound of a long-range heavy firearm.
His visor and Jie Ping shattered, but before the armed personnel could celebrate, Wei Dong stood up again. To their horror, the bullet lodged in his skull was slowly pushed out and clattered to the ground.
The long-range marksman didn't have time for a second shot, as a blood flower burst from his head, and he fell backward.
From the front building, a cloud of smoke and ash exploded, and a figure charged out. Wei Dong didn't dodge, rushing straight at the figure, and they collided instantly.
Diego's breakthrough was swift, and in less than a minute, he reached the exit of the Dashun Aggregation Area.
He believed the attackers were likely the area's guard team, possibly with hired armed forces. However, they could only operate within their own territory; crossing into other areas would trigger various disputes. Therefore, he thought he would be safe once he made it outside.
However, upon reaching the exit, he found it blocked by roadblocks and patrolled by numerous combat organisms. His heart sank, and a wave of intense anger surged within him.
The retreat route had been preemptively blocked, indicating that his plan had been thoroughly exposed. He immediately suspected who had betrayed them and vowed to take severe revenge if he managed to escape.
Just then, he felt a sudden, powerful push. His vision blurred, and with a thud, he stopped, his back slamming into a brick wall. When he regained his senses, he looked down and saw a spear piercing through his waist, pinning him to the wall.
The neural suppression implant in his body quickly activated, blocking the pain signals. His combat implants also kicked in, releasing a large amount of stimulants. His heart raced, his breathing became rapid, and his face turned red.
He grabbed the spear and, with his free hand, quickly pulled out the Thunder God pistol from his waist, aiming it at the approaching figure. However, before he could fire, the figure threw another spear, which pinned his gun hand to the wall. The gun fell from his grasp, but he didn't give up. With his other hand, he pulled the dagger from his chest.
Before he could stab, the figure deflected his hand with a quick block and then grabbed his chin, twisting it to the side with a sickening crack. Diego's body went limp, but the implanted tissues continued to twitch, causing his limbs to convulse.
Wu Han landed on his feet, brushed off the dust, and examined Diego's eyes to confirm he was no longer a threat. He relaxed, knowing this was likely the leader of the rioters and needed to be kept under watch until the situation was under control.
He waited for a while here, and from a distance, he saw Wei Dong's figure. Wei Dong was dragging a man who was at least two and a half meters tall out of the building.
"Wow, a Third Limit Fighter!"
Wu Han poked his head out, his face full of envy. "Wei Dong, you've done it again." He noticed Wei Dong looking around and asked, puzzled, "Hey, I'm talking to you. What are you looking for?"
Wei Dong casually threw the man aside and said, "I'm looking for another Third Limit Fighter."
Wu Han chuckled, "That won't be your job. We can't take all the credit, can we?"
At the same moment, Yuan Qiuyuan encountered another Third Limit Fighter. This man was hired by Diego's team and was a true tough guy with a strong sense of professionalism, willing to fight to the death. So, Yuan Qiuyuan had no choice but to shatter his opponent's skull.
With the high-level fighter gone, the remaining people had no fighting power. In less than fifteen minutes, they were either shot dead or captured. Not only did the operation go without any casualties on their side, but due to the sound of fireworks and the effective isolation measures, most of the residents in the settlement were unaware that an attack and arrest had taken place.
Inside the hotel, Chen Chuan received news of the successful operation. However, at about the same time, he also received another piece of news.
A severe explosion had occurred in the Tavatini Aggregation Area, which was right next to the Eastern Land Aggregation Area. Most of the residents there were Tavatini descendants, with some immigrants from the Overseas Islands. There had been long-standing tensions between them and the Eastern Land descendants, and after the explosion, someone secretly incited the crowd, blaming the Eastern Land descendants for the attack. Immediately, some prepared gang members and civilian militias rushed into the Eastern Land Aggregation Area.
By the time Chen Chuan received the news, at least a hundred people had been injured or killed. However, due to the well-equipped Eastern Land descendants and the presence of his security team, most of the casualties were on the other side.
He thought for a moment. There was no doubt that these two incidents were not isolated. The other side must have been well-prepared to escalate the situation, but fortunately, the conflict in the Eastern Land Aggregation Area had been promptly contained.
However, he couldn't ignore this matter. At this point, the Viasia Central City authorities could not stand idly by.
He immediately tapped his Jie Ping and requested a call with Ryan Kavadisi. After a while, the call was connected.
Ryan's voice came through, "Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?"
Chen Chuan said, "Mr. Kavadisi, you should be aware of what happened today. I need to ensure the safety of the residents in the Dashun Aggregation Area. If your side cannot control the chaotic armed groups, I will take necessary measures."
Ryan replied, "Mr. Chen, I deeply sympathize with the plight of the Eastern Land immigrants. After all, they are also citizens of our city. However, the immigrants from the Overseas Islands are also our people. We do not wish to see civil unrest. We hope both sides can exercise restraint.
The Bureau of Comprehensive Services can provide a platform for both sides to sit down and negotiate, to resolve their conflicts and reach mutual understanding."
Chen Chuan asked, "When?"
Ryan said, "Today is your traditional New Year. How about tomorrow? I will have the Bureau of Comprehensive Services contact your side."
"Alright, then. Thank you for your assistance, Mr. Kavadisi."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure. Mr. Chen, if you have any thoughts or change your mind, feel free to contact me."
After ending the call, Chen Chuan reviewed the summary report from the settlement. The riot involved fifty-seven people, including two Third Limit Fighters, both of whom had criminal records—one was a mercenary, and the other was a Federation fugitive.
However, a few of them had Federation citizenship, so they had requested a lawyer's application.
This situation was usually very complicated. Those without citizenship could be dealt with, but those with citizenship had to be handed over to the Central City government.
However, this destruction activity could be defined either as an attack on the settlement's civilians or as an attack on a visiting delegation. The nature of the crime would differ based on the target, and if it was the latter, it could bypass this legal clause.
After a brief interrogation, it was discovered that the attackers were from an anti-government militia, with their superior being Madman Lordwedge's subordinate. This Lordwedge was a notorious fighter on the Federation's wanted list, and most of the violent incidents in the western coastal states of the Federation were linked to him.
During the interrogation, some of them even hinted that if the delegation let them go and provided enough compensation, they could serve the Da Shun Federation, participating in the overthrow of the Federation government.
The report concluded by asking how to handle these people—whether to hand them over to the Central City or detain them.
Chen Chuan glanced at everyone's criminal records, took a pen, and wrote a few brief words on the report, "Execute on the spot after interrogation."
