Chapter 331: Beyond Tolerance
Chapter 331: Beyond Tolerance
Jiang Yue Xing informed the Alliance about Feng Xiu's situation.
The Alliance expressed its 'grave concern' over the matter.
On the very same day, they dispatched a team to handle it.
This team belonged to the Demon Suppression Bureau, specializing in combating the Zero Organization, a notorious evil force.
So, they were the professionals for the job.
Initially, Li Wu was quite pleased.
But as soon as this team arrived, he immediately realized just how 'professional' they truly were.
Not to mention how useless their Master Rank strength was in the face of Feng Xiu.
Their actions alone made Li Wu feel like they were there to investigate him rather than deal with Feng Xiu.
As soon as they arrived, they sought out Li Wu first.
"It's said that you provided the information about Feng Xiu, one of the Five Messengers of the Zero Organization?"
The leader of this five-person squad, An Lan, asked this as soon as he laid eyes on Li Wu.
"It was me!" Li Wu furrowed his brows slightly, nodding and countering, "The Demon Suppression Bureau only sent you few?"
"The Bureau has many pressing matters, and Noble-ranked experts cannot be easily mobilized without concrete intelligence."
An Lan's response was indifferent.
"What do you mean by 'no concrete evidence'? Didn't tens of thousands witness it at the High School League Championship..."
"They did see a person, but whether it was Feng Xiu is debatable."
An Lan brushed off Li Wu with a single sentence and continued, "How did you know his identity?"
Li Wu frowned, "He stopped me on my way back from the capital and told me himself."
Li Wu's answer gave An Lan a lead, "On your way back from the capital? He stopped you and told you?"
"Is there a problem with that?"
"Let's put the authenticity of this aside for now.
Let's talk about why you knew this a month ago but didn't report it immediately and waited until now.
Also, I'd like you to explain why you suddenly changed your route from returning to Southeast to going to the Chang Ping Mystic Realm, and then stayed there for a whole month.
Finally, according to you, he's been in Realm 1 for a month, so why was there no news during that time, and why did he appear right after you returned to Southeast?"
An Lan stared directly into Li Wu's eyes, each word sharp as a knife, incredibly piercing.
Facing An Lan's interrogation, Li Wu's expression grew even more unpleasant.
"Are you here to gather information or interrogate me?"
An Lan adjusted his glasses, "Mr. Li, you must be joking. Of course, we're here to gather information; after all, this involves one of the Five Messengers, so it's only natural for us to be cautious."
"Is that so? But your so-called caution makes me very uncomfortable."
"I can't do anything about that; we're just following procedure. I can only ask you to bear with us."
"Sorry, but my weakest trait is patience. I've endured enough!"
Li Wu's patience had been completely exhausted by these useless fellows, and he stood up to leave.
But An Lan stopped him, "Mr. Li, you're our only lead for the investigation. If you don't cooperate, it will be difficult for us to proceed."
"That's not necessarily a bad thing for you!"
After saying this, Li Wu pushed An Lan away and strode off.
He had no patience to continue this conversation with them.
However, Li Wu wanted to leave, but they wouldn't let him.
"What do you mean by that?"
An Lan detected a hint of contempt in Li Wu's tone, which displeased him. He stopped Li Wu again, and as he reached out, an intensely insane will enveloped the entire squad.
This terrifying will caused the faces of An Lan's team to pale.
The weaker ones among them had already dropped to their knees.
"What do you mean? This is what I mean!"
Li Wu said, kicking An Lan aside and striding away.
After leaving An Lan's group, Li Wu's expression grew even more unpleasant.
An Lan's team's arrival made it clear to Li Wu that his situation might be more dangerous than he had anticipated.
One of the Five Messengers of the Zero Organization.
The Alliance should have dispatched at least a Noble-ranked team for this matter.
As soon as this team arrived, Li Wu knew that he couldn't rely on the Alliance either.
Not only did he lose hope in the Alliance, but he also failed to gain support from other sources.
As soon as the news from Southeast spread, related organizations quickly issued statements refuting it.
They denied the existence of the Zero Organization and the so-called epic-tier Summoned Beast Baby, and the Alliance even criticized the Southeast media through official channels.
They claimed that these media outlets were spreading false information to create public panic and demanded that Southeast rectify the situation.
This series of events not only failed to resolve Li Wu's problem but also caused trouble for Jiang Yue Xing.
Furthermore, the Demon Suppression Bureau's squad, after being suppressed by Li Wu once, didn't back down but continued their investigation relentlessly.
However, their focus was not on the Zero Organization but on Li Wu himself.
They had learned their lesson and didn't dare approach Li Wu again.
Since they weren't causing trouble, Li Wu didn't bother with them either, or perhaps he genuinely didn't have the time.
"How many people has this old man offended?"
At this point, even without delving deeper, Li Wu could sense that many were secretly exerting influence behind this incident.
In this uncertain situation, hiding seemed like the best option.
However, Lu Wu didn't have the chance to hide.
On the first day of Lu Wu's return to Jiangnan, Feng Xiu appeared.
The next day, An Lan's team arrived.
And then, something happened.
That day, while Lu Wu was busy, Li Kai urgently called him to inform him that the Lu Family Ranch was in trouble.
The so-called Lu Family Ranch was where Lu Wu raised his Ironclad Oxen and Steelclad Oxen.
Apparently, just moments ago, a terrifying evil aura erupted within the ranch, and the staff subsequently discovered a horrifying pit of corpses in the direction of the aura.
Additionally, after the pit was discovered, a significant number of the oxen in the ranch were affected, with about fifty percent of them becoming corrupted.
The corruption was spreading rapidly.
Lu Wu then checked the milk, which fortunately seemed unaffected for the time being.
"Isolate the healthy oxen, keep twenty of the corrupted ones for my breeding room, and dispose of the rest."
Simultaneously, Lu Wu instructed Zhang Wentao and his team to halt the sales of the Steelclad Ox Evolution Package.
Lu Wu's emergency response was relatively efficient.
But this was just the beginning.
The incident at the ranch caused Lu Wu a direct and indirect loss of tens of millions of points, not to mention the impact on the Jiangnan Shopping Mall and its customers.
The real threat, however, was the Demon Suppression Bureau.
After waiting for Lu Wu to finish dealing with the situation, An Lan approached him again.
"Mr. Lu, now that you've finished dealing with this, do you have time to cooperate with our investigation?
I hope you can truthfully answer why there are so many corpses infected with evil energy in your ranch."
"Also, I've received information that your high school league teammate, Lin Jianying, was a dark summoner. It's said that his death last year was actually a staged death with help from someone. Do you have anything to clarify regarding this?"
As An Lan posed these questions, he suddenly noticed that Lu Wu's expression had turned grim, and the look in his eyes was utterly ferocious, as if he wanted to devour An Lan whole.
This terrifying gaze caused An Lan's heart to skip a beat.
By the time he realized what was happening, Lu Wu had already left.
Soon after, the Lu Family Group issued a statement regarding the ranch incident.
They provided a detailed explanation, shifting the blame onto the Zero Organization and Feng Xiu.
Lu Wu retreated to Dragon Island and went into seclusion.
...
Jiangnan, the base of operations for An Lan's Demon Suppression Bureau team.
Upon learning that Lu Wu had secluded himself, An Lan scoffed, "The youngest and most talented genius? I thought he had some ability, but it turns out he's just a coward, hiding like a turtle at the first sign of trouble. He's just as trashy as the rest."
An Lan's words immediately garnered agreement.
"Yes, that's right. I feel the same way."
This supportive behavior was friendly, but it made An Lan's face turn pale.
The speaker was a stranger to him.
As he stared at the sudden appearance of a figure shrouded in a black robe, An Lan instinctively took a step back, assuming a defensive stance.
"Who are you?"
"Me?"
The figure responded while extending a hand and grabbing An Lan, who wanted to resist but couldn't move. He pulled An Lan in front of him, revealing the face beneath the hood and saying, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Xiu, one of the Five Great Envoys of the Zero Organization."
An Lan's face paled as he recognized the face beneath the hood.
"No, you're not Feng Xiu!"
"No, I am!"
...
Ten minutes later, the mysterious figure stepped out of the base.
The base was set ablaze.
Amidst the fire, the figure cloaked in black chuckled.
"So you want to play, huh? Fine, I'll play along!"
