Chapter 189: A Powerful Entrance
Chapter 189: A Powerful Entrance
Upon hearing Lu Wu's intention to call for help, Jin Lili immediately laughed.
Seeking help from parents when unable to win, how very childlike.
However, the issue was, even if they did call for help, would it make a difference in this situation?
Where were they? At Zhenhai Tower!
The strongest military headquarters in Jiangnan, nominally under the command of Jiang Yuesheng, but in reality, her words carried little weight here.
If not for this, Lu Wu wouldn't have struggled to find even a Silver Rank baby, and he certainly wouldn't dare to brazenly attempt a robbery now.
So Jin Lili didn't bother with Lu Wu and his group, planning to deal with the two summoned beasts first.
He truly didn't believe it, and even if he cooked the rice, what could Jiang Yuesheng do when she arrived?
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Wu struck with a Thunderfall aimed at Jin Lili.
"How dare you!" Jin Lili exclaimed, his face darkening in surprise at Lu Wu's audacity.
A protective shield appeared out of thin air around him, blocking the attack.
Even though he endured this assault, Lu Wu's sudden move triggered the Logistics Department's alarm, filling the air with an unbearably shrill sound.
Hearing the alarm, Jin Lili's expression turned grim.
But at that moment, he had no time to deal with Lu Wu.
As soon as the alarm sounded, people would soon arrive, and he had to handle these two summoned beasts first.
However, before he could make a move, Jiang Tianyang had already finished his call and blocked his path.
"This matter isn't resolved yet, why the rush to leave?" Jiang Tianyang demanded.
Jin Lili, unwilling to be stopped by Jiang Tianyang, struck out with a palm, but to his surprise, a gorilla phantom appeared around Jiang Tianyang.
Jin Lili's face paled in shock.
"Beast Spirit Protection!"
This was a Lord-level Summoned Beast ability! He never expected the usually frivolous and dramatic Jiang Tianyang to be a Master-level Summoner.
Possibly even more formidable than himself, Jin Lili immediately retracted his hand and abandoned the idea of suppressing Jiang Tianyang and his group before dealing with the summoned beasts.
Nevertheless, anger still showed on his face.
"This is outrageous! It's truly outrageous!
You two, one attempting to kill a Zhenhai Tower Brigadier General, and the other showing insubordination, well done, both of you!"
"Do you think that by causing a scene, you can take back the summoned beasts?
Let me tell you, it's impossible. No one will leave with these two summoned beasts today, mark my words!"
Jin Lili's voice rang with determination and authority.
Of course, he wasn't bluffing; he genuinely had the confidence to back up his words.
After all, he had powerful connections! The actual leader of Zhenhai Tower was none other than his brother, Jin Lihai, which was why he dared to disregard Jiang Yuesheng's authority.
He had just wanted to leave, hoping to downplay the situation, not truly intending to escalate it beyond his control.
But now, the alarm had sounded.
The team responsible for internal security at Zhenhai Tower promptly arrived, and as soon as they were in position, Jin Lili took charge.
"These two caused trouble in my Logistics Department; take them all down!"
On one side was the Logistics Department Head with the rank of Colonel, the authority here.
On the other side were a group of unfamiliar young people, including the nephew of Governor Jiang Yuesheng.
The choice of which side to support was obvious.
The newcomers immediately followed Jin Lili's command and moved to apprehend Lu Wu and his team.
As for Lu Wu's explanations, these guards paid no heed, nor was it their responsibility to do so.
Their duty was to safeguard the internal security of Zhenhai Tower, and they would first detain any potential threats. Other matters would be handled by others.
However, they couldn't make a move without Jiang Tianyang's permission.
As soon as the group took action, Jiang Tianyang roared.
"Get out!"
With Jiang Tianyang's roar, the beast spirit behind him let out a mighty howl, instantly knocking out the team about to attack and escalating the already piercing alarm to the next level.
Now, the situation had truly escalated, catching the attention of Zhenhai Tower's upper echelons.
One by one, the figures of Zhenhai Tower's top figures appeared, including Jin Lili's brother, the current tower master, Jin Lihai.
After surveying the scene, the disciplinary leader stepped forward, as this fell under his jurisdiction.
"What's going on here? Fighting within Zhenhai Tower, someone give me an explanation!"
Jin Lili promptly came forward.
"It's like this. These three hold Governor Jiang Yuesheng's token and came to the Logistics Department for three Summoned Beast pups. We made arrangements for them to choose three from the Nursery Zone, but they were dissatisfied and looked down on the Nursery Zone's summoned beasts.
So they forced my subordinates to open the warehouse, and from there, they took two Summoning Stones and summoned these two little ones."
As Jin Lili spoke, he lifted the two summoned beasts in his hands.
Everyone's eyes immediately narrowed, recognizing the quality of the summoned beasts.
Jin Lili continued, "The one on the left is Golden Grade, and the one on the right is even a Royal Grade Summoned Beast pup.
Summoned beasts of this caliber are meant for our Zhenhai Tower warriors who fight valiantly for Jiangnan. How could we let them take these beasts away with just any token?
So, I detained these two summoned beasts.
As a result, the two young masters of the Governor's family became furious. One attacked me directly, and the other lashed out at the guards."
It must be said that although Jin Lili was shameless, his eloquence was impressive.
What started as envy for the summoned beast pups had, by his words, taken on a different tone.
Directly becoming the young master of the Governor's family, Li Wu was unreasonable, forcefully taking the Summoned Beast and even tying himself to Zhenhai Tower, elevating the situation to a conflict between Zhenhai Tower and Jiang Yuesheng.
Dudu couldn't bear to listen to such shameless words.
Trembling with anger, she grabbed Li Wu and shouted in the loudest voice she had ever mustered, "It's not like that! He's the bad guy! Li Wu found these Summoned Beast pups in the garbage heap of the warehouse, and he spent a lot of money for them!"
It was then that Li Wu realized Dudu could make such a loud noise.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Dudu's words.
Zhenhai Tower, like many places, was never a place for reason.
After Jin Lili took the lead in speaking and characterizing the situation, whatever Li Wu said became unimportant.
Even if Li Wu had the most logical argument and could explain everything, even if the people of Zhenhai Tower knew the truth, and even if Li Wu had solid evidence, the case would not be overturned.
Because this was no longer a simple matter.
It involved a high-stakes game between Zhenhai Tower and Jiang Yuesheng, affecting the tower's reputation and prestige.
In the 1619 version of the book, they would never allow Li Wu to take the Summoned Beast pups away, nor would they admit that Jin Lili, the Logistics Department Head, had greedily seized them.
At this moment, the Tower Master of Zhenhai Tower, Jin Lihai, after listening, glanced at the big shot in charge of discipline.
The big shot understood the situation well, "Since the facts are clear, these three will be expelled from Zhenhai Tower. Jiang Tianyang, as a colonel in Zhenhai Tower..."
"Please wait a moment. I'd like to know, how are the facts so clear?
If it's so clear, then I have a video recording on my phone. Can we discuss the content of the video?"
Just as Li Wu finished speaking, his phone in his hand suddenly exploded.
Jin Lili laughed at that moment.
"It seems your phone is of poor quality!"
Li Wu looked at his phone, which had exploded, and his hand, injured by the blast, covered in blood. His expression gradually calmed.
"Isn't this a bit overbearing?"
It would have been better if Li Wu hadn't said anything, but as he spoke, Jin Lili laughed even harder and took a step closer.
"Kid, how old are you? Still so naive?
We're indeed overbearing, and there's nothing you can do about it."
"What can I do?"
Li Wu laughed at that moment.
Looking at the crowd from Zhenhai Tower, he said calmly, "Perhaps no one here knows me, but I feel it's necessary to introduce myself properly. I am Li Wu, the adopted son of Governor Jiang Yuesheng."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room laughed.
The Governor of Jiangnan was the least influential here. Everyone knew the situation Jiang Tianyang, her protege, was in. Even if Jiang Yuesheng's biological son had come, it wouldn't have made a difference.
Li Wu didn't mind this either.
"It seems this identity isn't influential enough?
But it doesn't matter. I have other identities!"
"I am also the Champion of the Jiangnan High School League and an Honorary Professor of Jiangnan University. I am a genius breeder with dozens of professional breeder disciples.
Additionally, I have a King Grade Summoned Beast."
With each title Li Wu mentioned, the faces of the people from Zhenhai Tower grew darker.
Li Wu continued, "I achieved all of this in just one year.
In other words, you are offending a super genius, a rising star like a rocket. I guarantee that within five years, at most, I will reach a level equal to or even surpass all of you here.
Fortunately, I have a broad mind and a good memory. I remember everyone I've met.
So, I'll make this clear: I'm keeping a record of this. In five years, I will settle this score, one by one.
Even with the protection of Zhenhai Tower, I can still target your sons, your grandsons, and your relatives and friends. Everyone here will pay! The only way to stop me is to kill me now.
But unfortunately, you dare not. Although you dare to bully me, you would never dare to kill me because my godmother has my back.
You also don't have the ability to suppress me because my capital for rising is my unparalleled talent."
Li Wu's words truly stunned many people.
However, most people merely considered his words as the outburst of a spoiled child after experiencing failure.
Few took Li Wu's words seriously.
Genius? The world is full of geniuses. Do you want to show off? Grow up first!
Jin Lili, standing before Li Wu, mocked him, "Oh, such a scary statement. Go ahead, I'm waiting for your revenge!"
Unexpectedly, Li Wu shook his head.
"No, you don't have to wait. I was just bluffing to them. As for you? You'll die today!"
"I'll die today?"
Jin Lili burst into laughter.
"This is the best joke I've heard all year. Come, tell me, who gave you the courage to say such a ridiculous thing?"
At that moment, a calm voice resonated.
"Me!"
Simultaneously, Jin Lili's limbs exploded one by one.
Amidst the explosion and piercing screams, a queenly figure appeared, exuding dominance.
Li Wu looked at the queen, narrowing his eyes.
As expected, she had planned everything!
