Chapter 336: Summoned Beast Army
Chapter 336: Summoned Beast Army
At Fort City's seaside, on a massive ship, the Demon Suppression Bureau's agents were bustling with excitement, feeling a sense of relief and triumph. In the past few days, they had endured a challenging time investigating Lu Wu in Jiangnan, the territory of Jiang Yue Xing and Lu Wu themselves. The pressure they faced was unimaginable.
Now, the case was finally resolved, and Lu Wu was in their custody. Their spirits soared with satisfaction. As subordinates, they felt vindicated, and Zhou An, their superior, was in high spirits.
Although Zhou An hadn't anticipated Lu Wu's easy capture, he sensed something amiss, but it didn't matter. Whether Lu Wu was genuinely foolish or trying to use him to overturn the case was irrelevant. As long as he fulfilled his task, that was all that mattered.
Moreover, once they reached the capital, Lu Wu wouldn't have the power to overturn the case on his own. Many unseen forces were already at play. If Lu Wu tried to speak up, he wouldn't have the final say.
Zhou An's mood improved further as he thought of Lu Hai Kong's son's misfortune. A smile crept onto his face, but it quickly froze when he saw Lu Wu, who was supposed to be confined in the ship's cabin, now lounging on the deck, fishing rod in one hand and a cup of goji juice in the other, enjoying a leisurely moment.
Zhou An's face darkened as he approached Lu Wu. "Who allowed you to come up to the deck?"
Lu Wu, sipping his goji juice, replied, "The cabin was stuffy, so I came out for some fresh air!"
Zhou An almost laughed at Lu Wu's audacity. "Do you understand your current situation? You're a criminal, and I'm escorting you. Have you ever seen a criminal being escorted with the freedom to enjoy fresh air?"
As he spoke, Zhou An took a step forward, his voice turning sinister. "And don't forget, you boarded this ship alone!"
Yes, Lu Wu had boarded the ship alone, leaving Tie Xiong behind at Jiangnan University to protect Dudu instead of himself. Without Tie Xiong by his side, Zhou An's confidence surged.
"Remember, you're just a criminal now. Where you stay and what you do require my approval. Without it, you won't even be allowed to leave the cabin."
Zhou An's eyes locked onto Lu Wu. "Do you understand?"
After a moment of staring at each other, Lu Wu cowered. "I understand. Whatever you say goes."
Lu Wu then headed back to the cabin, leaving the Demon Suppression Bureau's staff feeling vindicated. The once arrogant Lu Wu had finally humbled himself, marking a victory for the Bureau.
However, just then, a mocking voice rang out. "Are you going to let him get away with that? That's not like you!"
"Who's there?"
The voice startled everyone on the ship from the Demon Suppression Bureau. Zhou An immediately turned towards the source of the voice, and upon seeing the speaker, his pupils constricted involuntarily.
A white hat, white jacket, and black shirt...
(End)
This typical black-and-white duo, if it's not Feng Xiu, then who is it? Zhou An had never met Feng Xiu, but he had seen him at the High School League, and he even had a photo of him.
So, he recognized this guy now, which made Zhou An feel a little intimidated.
After all, although he was the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Bureau, his strength was still a bit inferior to that of one of the Five Great Envoys.
Considering the other party's crazy behavior, Zhou An was indeed a bit flustered.
However, adhering to the principle of never backing down, Zhou An tried to calm his emotions and responded with a smile, "He's a criminal, but he does have some talent, so it's only right to give him some preferential treatment."
Embarrassingly, he only realized after responding that Feng Xiu hadn't even looked at him.
He was completely focused on Li Wu.
It turned out that Feng Xiu's previous words were directed at Li Wu.
At this moment, Li Wu stopped and turned around, "What do you mean by letting him get away with it? Commissioner Zhou and I are partners!"
Li Wu's words left Zhou An baffled.
What partners? Had he ever partnered with Li Wu?
What was Li Wu talking about? At this moment, neither Li Wu nor Feng Xiu paid any attention to Zhou An's anxiety; instead, they chatted like old friends.
After Li Wu's response, Feng Xiu's smile became even brighter, "Partners? The kind where one lives and the other dies?
At first, I thought you were either planning to hide in the capital or lure me out.
But after careful consideration, given your personality, you probably wouldn't go to the capital.
So, if I hadn't shown up, you would have killed him and framed me.
You'd leisurely return to the Southeast, continue hiding, or run away, letting this matter ferment, right?"
"What?"
Zhou An's face paled.
He turned and looked at Li Wu in astonishment.
But at this moment, Li Wu didn't even spare him a glance; his gaze was fixed on Feng Xiu.
After confirming in his heart that it was indeed the real Feng Xiu, Li Wu raised his lips, "Don't talk nonsense; I'm not as vicious and crazy as you.
I admit that the purpose of my so-called crime is simple—to lure you out and kill you, this villain, for the good of the people!"
To this, Feng Xiu surprisingly nodded in admiration, "Hmm, that's a good idea. If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem you've created. This solution is simple and direct, but it's indeed effective."
"However, are you so sure you can kill me?
Who gave you this confidence? Is it the Summoned Beast within you that belongs to Lu Hai Kong?"
"It does have some power, but it's limited, and it's not enough to kill me on its own!"
"Not enough?"
Li Wu raised his lips, snapped his fingers, and a loud snap echoed.
As Li Wu snapped his fingers, the originally calm sea nearby began to churn, and Summoned Beasts emerged one after another. Within ten minutes, dozens of miles around were swarmed with Summoned Beasts, led by Li Wu's Little Dragon.
As the Little Dragon emerged with its subordinates, a Little Skull also crawled out of Li Wu's body, along with 18 new and three old subordinates.
In an instant, an enormous Summoned Beast army took shape.
