Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 160 - 160 Military Zone’s Operating Procedure, Act F
160 Military Zone’s Operating Procedure, Act First, Report Later!
“Hahaha…” With a mouth full of blood and foam, Zhang Yu suddenly laughed madly and spat a mouthful of bloody saliva on the jailer’s face. “You wish!”
“Dammit!” The head jailer wiped the bloody spit from his face and beat up Zhang Yu with his own hands until he was on the verge of death.
His minions rushed up to stop him. This guy Zhang Yu was to be beheaded live in front of the whole city. He could not be allowed to die just like that in jail.
The head jailer could only stop indignantly. Monts later, he reported this piece of news to Hou Tianlai with apprehension.
To his surprise, Hou Tianlai did not get angry, but only said indifferently, “Rember to pay more attention next ti.”
“Thank you for not killing , Honorable City Lord. Your humble subordinate will definitely do his utmost to provide good service.” The head jailer was overjoyed. After kneeling and bowing multiple tis, as soon as he turned to leave, a blade penetrated his back.
The head jailer took a look at the blood gushing uncontrollably from his abdon, and turned his head with difficulty to look at Hou Tianlai. He said resentfully, “City Lord, didn’t you say you wouldn’t kill ?”
“When I said next ti, I ant your next life.”
Hou Tianlai pulled the dagger out. After throwing it on the floor, he wiped away the blood on his hands with a handkerchief. Looking at the corpse on the ground, he said with a flash of hostility in his eyes, “What use is a piece of trash like you to when you can’t even watch over an adult living person securely?”
The servant spoke up at this ti, “Then are we still going ahead with the execution, Honorable City Lord?”
“Of course we are going ahead. We will naturally have ti later to capture the one who escaped.” Hou Tianlai said in an icy tone, “And, next ti, don’t ask such a stupid question, or I’ll have to reconsider your worth in my mind.”
“Your humble subordinate is foolish!” The servant hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.
The day of the planned execution arrived.
By 10 am, Zhang Yu, Wang Kang and others had been escorted to the execution site. The reporters had been waiting for a long ti, with various caras pointing at the people who were about to be beheaded.
“Wow! Live broadcast of the execution. This is the first ti I’ve ever seen such a live broadcast. Surely this is too gory and frightening?”
“Shh! How dare you say this? You have a death wish, do you? This is our newly appointed City Lord, who just wants to flex his muscles after taking up this role recently.”
“But I say, these dia outlets are also too unbecoming. How can they broadcast live such graphic and gory images? It’s not good if the children see it, isn’t it?”
Through the live broadcast by the dia outlets, the citizens of Lunan City looked at the scene in front of them, and spoke with a lot more caution.
When the reporters of the major news outlets doing the live broadcast saw the viewers’ comnts, their eyelids twitched repeatedly as a look of helplessness crept over their faces.
“You guys think that we want to broadcast such gory scenes live? We have no choice. We dare not disobey the new City Lord’s orders.”
Ti was slowly draining away, and the family heads of the powerful families all around the city ca dressed up to the nines. They were waiting for the mont of execution, and so were even flushed with excitent.
The old order was going to be restored in Lunan City again, and the familiar days of lording over the people would be back soon.
And the four dojos have been destroyed, leaving a large vacuum in the power control. During this period, the powerful families gobbled up so many territories that their bellies almost burst, taphorically speaking. A number of families were gradually taking over the four dojos’ jurisdiction areas.
Before long, the four massive entities that were similar to the four big dojos would be born!
It was 12 in the afternoon. It was ti for the execution!
Wang Bo, who was in charge of the beheading, was glowing with joy and announced loudly gleefully, “The ti has co to behead all these scoundrels!”
“Hahaha… Wang Bo, you people shouldn’t be too gleeful. Winners are kings, while losers are criminals. I only lost to you. If the heavens were to give another chance, I would be even more brutal!”
Facing the mont of death, Zhang Yu suddenly laughed, his eyes full of disdain, ridicule and provocation.
“You nefarious villains who collude together, I’ll wait. In 18 years, I will rise again!”
“My only regret is that I wasn’t able to kill every single one of you oppressing, bullying knaves!”
Most of the disciples of Central Dojo were cultivators who suffered the oppression of these powerful families. They howled and roared with anguish at this mont.
When he heard all these people scolding him, the corners of Wang Bo’s lips curled up in a gloating sneer. So what if they cursed him so bitterly? This was only the incompetent roar of the defeated, which held no aning for him, the winner.
At this mont, a row of beheading swords were raised and about to fall to the ground. The citizens of Lunan City sitting in front of the live broadcast, looked at the row of blades gleaming with blinding light under the sun and covered their eyes in fear.
“Execute!”
The mont the order rang out, blood splattered all over violently with whoosh.
However, it was not the blood from prisoners’ heads dropping to the ground, but the blood of those executioners who had raised their beheading swords. They all spewed blood from their mouths and collapsed on the ground.
Suddenly, sharp and fleet-footed figures dressed in military uniforms descended from a helicopter in the sky. They surrounded the whole execution ground like a human wall.
The leader, none other than Li Tieniu, led all the cultivators of the 1st platoon, as well as the mbers of the 4th squad originally attached to Lu Yu, to untie Zhang Yu, Wang Kang and the others.
“People from the military zone?” Wang Bo was shocked. He was very surprised that people from the military zone would interrupt their proceedings at this mont.
After standing there in stunned silence for a few seconds, Wang Bo hurriedly said, “You guys are from the military zone. You are not allowed to intervene in the affairs of any city. You guys have overstepped your authority!”
“Hoho… but there is also a rule in every military zone in the Federation. When the military zone takes action, we act first and report later!” Li Tieniu said in an icy tone, “If you say so more, I’ll hack you down!”
Wang Bo was so freaked out that he did not say anything else.
In this Age of the Spiritual Energy Renaissance where Fearso Beasts ran rampant, the federal governnt gave the greatest autonomy and deciding authority to the military zones. The military and political arms did not interfere with each other, but once there was an ergency, the military zones could deal with it first, and act first and report later!
Hou Tianlai, who was watching all this behind the scenes, naturally understood this, but it undoubtedly hit him hard in the face. His expression was decidedly unpleasant now.
Imdiately, Hou Tianlai ca out. When he saw the platoon captain badge on Li Tieniu’s chest, his gaze turned nacing. With a stiff, superficial smile, he said, “I wonder what brings the people from the military zone here? May I know what business has brought this platoon captain to my place?”
Li Tieniu retorted, “Dammit! Don’t give this lofty wordy crap. I don’t understand them!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Tieniu did not extend him any courtesy. Hou Tianlai’s face froze and his smile gradually vanished. Then he said in an icy tone, “In that case, I will make myself clear. I distinctly rember that the military zone has the power to act first and report later in order to prioritize dealing with matters. But you, a platoon captain, do not seem to have such an authority.”
“I’m afraid you’ve overstepped your authority, Platoon Captain.”
When he said those final words, Hou Tianlai’s voice was so icy cold that it was frightening. He stared fixedly at Li Tieniu, demanding him to give a reasonable answer, or else Hou Tianlai would be the first to make a move to capture this platoon captain.
“A re acting city lord, who does not officially hold the power of the city lord yet, dares to be so aggressive towards the people of our military zone. Are you trying to start a rebellion?” Just then, an explosive shout rang out.
