Chapter 95: The War over the Genius
Translator: Ash Editor: Geoffrey
Lifting his wrist to look at the mini crystal processor, he saw a ssage sent by the district’s police departnt.
"Sir Li!"
Zhao Shude was much like a drowning man grabbing the last straw as he hastily asked, "You ca at just the right ti. Currently, we are facing an unprecedented situation. A large crowd of disabled soldiers has gathered at the entrance of Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School. Quickly help
think of so way to resolve this!"
In the hologram, Commissioner Li, who wore crystal sunglasses, seed as if he was molded from iron and steel. He calmly and coldly said:
"Principal Zhao, I have specifically co to let you know that the Disabled Servicen Association plans to hold a large-scale victory parade for the next three days to commorate the victory in the Battle of 9907 Peak—an extrely arduous battle to regain control of 9907 Peak 153 years ago in which two squads of Federation soldiers put up a fearless fight and had repulsed the onslaught of seven demon beasts four tis by just the afternoon!"
"The police force has already approved their application for the victory parade, so it is a legitimate parade that is protected by the law!"
"Of course, if the opposite party is causing a disturbance, throwing garbage on the ground or destroying public property, or have entered the campus and are destroying property, then your school, by all ans, can report to us, the police. We will definitely take serious action should such a thing occurs. We will absolutely not show favoritism just because the other party is disabled servicen."
Zhao Shude was rendered speechless. He once again peered through the window.
There wasn't any noise nor was there anyone throwing garbage on the ground; absolutely nothing. Thousands of disabled soldiers like a frozen sea stood silently outside the campus.
Sotis, silence was also a kind of noise—a noise more deafening than any other noise.
Zhao Shude's lips quivered. He really had nothing to say. Even if he wanted the police to intervene, he must still provide a reason. However, the other party was neither hitting you nor shouting at you; they just quietly stood outside as they deeply stared at him from all directions. No matter where you looked, they weren't breaking any laws!
Zhao Shude was completely disheartened as he disappointedly said, "Sir Li, I know our Crimson Nimbus Second Senior High School is in the wrong here, but please show us so way!"
Commissioner Li heaved a sigh and said, "As your friend, let
give you a piece of advice—make the person who first asked for Li Yao’s suspension stand before the Disabled Servicen Association to explain everything clearly!"
"As if I could do that!"
In his heart, Zhao Shude really wanted to hand over the Helian father and son duo. However, the two would definitely be skinned alive and swallowed without even having been dipped in vinegar by the large group of disabled veterans—not even dregs would remain of them!
"Alright, that's all I can say. You better take care of yourself. It's ti for
to get off work!"
Commissioner Li gradually stood up. Very slowly and imperturbably, he started unbuttoning his deep blue police uniform before taking it off and opening a suitcase that had been gathering dust for god knows how long.
"Sir Li, you..."
Zhao Shude was sowhat at a loss as he watched the other party change into a well-ironed black military uniform.
Commissioner Li took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of spiritual prosthetic eyes that shone in a red aura from the depths of his eye sockets.
Enunciating word by word, he said, "I should have told you that in the past I had lost both my eyes in Demon Beast Wasteland. I am also a mber of the Disabled Servicen Association. Now that I am off duty, I need to quickly leave and participate in the victory parade. Goodbye!"
"Swish!"
The hologram went pitch black, as the opposite party had simply cut off the connection.
In the darkness, Zhao Shude’s facial muscles began to twitch uncontrollably. His lips quivered for a long ti as if he wanted to say sothing; however, in the end, not one word ca out.
Outside the window, everything was shrouded in a deathly silence. The disabled veterans, as if assimilating into the darkness of the night, looked from afar, giving off an appearance akin to a giant black beast that was trying to thoroughly devour Zhao Shude’s soul.
"Beep Beep Beep!" The mini crystal processor on his wrist started vibrating.
Zhao Shude was already scared out of his wits. He simply wasn’t in any state to care about it; however, the caller seed to be very stubborn, as the mini crystal processor kept on ringing.
Just as he was about to curse, lowering his head to look at the crystal processor, his entire body was struck by a chill.
He suddenly jumped up. First and foremost, he sent everyone out of the principal office and locked the door. Only then did he respectfully receive the call as he bowed and said in a flattering tone, "Elder Zhou, how are you doing!?"
Zhou Yin seed as if he had aged by a dozen years. He very gloomily stared at Zhao Shude for a while before speaking slowly:
"What do you think!? In just a short span of one hour, the shares of our Crimson Nimbus Sect fell by more than 4 points—and it still has not shown any signs of stabilizing! Do you know what this ans? Do you know how much money had been burned off?"
Zhao Shude's whole body started shaking.
With a completely deadpan look, Zhou Yin continued, "In addition, I had recomnded a Core Formation Stage cultivator's wife to invest $200,000 in Crimson Nimbus Sect's shares just yesterday. This cultivator has quite a bit of influence in the northeastern region. I have already been communicating with him for over two years, and it was highly possible for
to persuade him to heavily invest in our Crimson Nimbus Sect, or perhaps even join our Crimson Nimbus Sect as an Interim Elder. It would have helped the Crimson Nimbus Sect to disseminate its influence in the northeastern area. Now, he is telling
that he wants to reconsider the whole investnt plan—tell , how do you think I should be feeling?"
Zhao Shude face completely went pale; he was almost about to faint.
He was extrely angry to the point that he was ready to do anything. While gritting his teeth, he said, "Elder Zhou, after all is said and done, it was all that little bastard's, Li Yao's, fault. He brought such big trouble to the Crimson Nimbus Sect. We must definitely kill him!"
"Alright, go ahead and kill him," Zhou Yin coldly said.
"? Elder You, as you know, I'm just a teacher; I am not a battle-type cultivator..." Zhao Shude stamred as he was taken back for a mont.
"Oh, so you were a teacher. But from the way the Slaughter Qi that keeps pouring out of your mouth, I thought you were the boss of so triad... Zhao Shude, do you even have a brain!?"
Zhou Yin stared at him and even furiously roared, "Who do you think you are!? Do you think you so ancient cultivator from forty millenniums ago!? Do you think you can kill anyone at the drop of a hat? Don't you know about the federation's laws? Don’t you know the punishnt for a cultivator is even more serious than a normal criminal? Don't you know how many eyes are watching our Crimson Nimbus Sect? Don't you know the Crimson Nimbus Sect has eight Elders, seven of which are just waiting for
to make a fool of myself? If truly sothing happens to Li Yao, there will be no need for a police investigation—even an idiot would know that it was us! Do you want to completely destroy
and the Crimson Nimbus Sect, ah!?"
Zhao Shude was frightened out of his wits from his scolding; he did not dare to reply with even one word.
The more Zhou Yin spoke, the angrier he got. If he could co out of the hologram, his finger would have already co out and pressed down on the tip of Zhao Shude’s nose. "At least use your f**king brain! Our Crimson Nimbus Sect is an honest and upright sect who respects justice and abides by the laws. There is still room to salvage our current predicant; however, the mont we are associated with murder or have murdered a mber of the Disabled Servicen Association, then it will be beyond redemption! Murder… If you like to kill so much, then why didn't you join so devil path sect and beco a devil cultivator? Tell you what, if killing soone was not a cri, then the Sect Master and the other Elders would have already killed . Before they could kill , I would have first chopped a pig like you into pieces!"
"I, I—" Zhao Shude looked mournful as if he was in bereavent; he didn't know what to do.
Zhou Yin glared at him with a gaze that was as fierce as a tiger’s.
His gaze seed to be able to penetrate space and directly pierced two holes in the pits of Zhao Shude's stomach.
Only having stared for a full minute did he finally speak while gritting his teeth, "Forget it. This is not going to help us in any way. In short, soone has to take the fall for such a big incident. Who do you think should be responsible for this incident? You, , or Helian Ba?"
Zhao Shude was stunned for a mont before quickly replying:
"Elder Zhao, in fact, I know little of this matter. The whole thing was orchestrated by Helian Ba behind my back. As you also know, the Helian Family's influence in Floating Spear City is not small. Although he is just a trustee, many people are very much willing to give him face. It is easy for him to go behind my back and do so shady dealings. Additionally, since you, Elder Zhou, have to deal with thousands of problems every day and are busy with work, it is quite possible for you to hoodwinked by him once."
Zhou Yin's complexion finally eased up a little. He nodded his head and said, "En, this is reasonable. It would be better for you to think it over and give
the specifics. I will also go to Sect Master and explain it to him. Are you clear? Right... Old Ding of the Seventh Primary School affiliated with our Crimson Nimbus Sect is going to be retiring in a month. After his retirent, you are going to take over his position as principal!"
"Ah?"
"Why, don't want it? There is also a kindergarten. The Ninth Kindergarten is lacking a vice principal, do you want to go?"
"No no no, the Seventh Primary School... the Seventh Primary School is ok!"
Zhao Shude turned pale with fright as he stamred before taking a look at the hologram once more. However, by the ti he looked up, he had discovered that Zhou Yin had already cut the connection.
Zhao Shude was frozen for a mont. The gloomy look on his face suddenly changed as he ruthlessly stomped and broke seven or eight tiles.
"Helian Ba, Helian Lie—you father and son can both go to hell!"
...
Most of Floating Spear City had been shocked by the victory parade. As far as the instigator of the entire situation, Li Yao, was concerned, he was totally oblivious to the whole thing, as if he was in the eye of the storm.
In an open space just outside the low-rent residential area—the "Morning Sun Village
