Steel Do City, countless citizens witnessed this firefight.
Afterward, their attention turned to the live broadcast from Nanming Academy.
Inside Nanming Academy, everyone also witnessed the firefight that occurred on Triumph Street.
"Mayor, the company has assembled ard troops to hunt civilians in Steel Do City in an attempt to cover up its cris. Aren’t you going to order a purge of the company?" Xu Mo asked, looking at Nan Mingyuan in the Battlefield.
By now, if Nan Mingyuan didn’t take action, everything would be self-evident.
But how could Nan Mingyuan act?
He was partners with the company. Lin Qingze’s death, the assassination directed at Xu Mo—he was involved in all of it.
Xu Mo exposing the company was clearly just the first step, pressuring him.
"Wait a mont," Nan Mingyuan spoke and then walked aside. He dialed a number.
After a while, he returned to his position and continued, "I have communicated with the head of the Gene company. The genetic experints in the Underworld were done privately by the Underground leader. The public need not worry about the current batch of Evolution Liquid; these are all newly developed Evolution Liquids. Additionally, regarding the shelters in the Underworld as historical remnants, I will discuss resolutions with the Gene company."
"As for the earlier conflict, the head of the Gene company claid that soone intentionally disrupted the order of Steel Do City and attacked them. In their anger, they dispatched ard troops but have now fully withdrawn and are willing to undergo an investigation by the city governnt and accept full responsibility."
Trivializing and shirking responsibility.
The Gene company’s cris against humanity seed insignificant in Nan Mingyuan’s mouth.
Of course, he was fully aware that Nan Mingyuan also had no way out.
How could he investigate himself?
To investigate the Gene company was akin to sentencing himself—it would an they both perished.
"Mayor Nanming, the Old Dean is a hero of Steel Do City. He was arrested and jailed for participating in the hunt for the mayor’s secretary. Now, the Gene company has committed cris against humanity and attacked the accusers on Triumph Street. Is your only interaction with the head of the Gene company a friendly phone call to resolve this?"
Xu Mo looked at Nan Mingyuan and spoke, "Does the Mayor have a cooperative relationship with the Gene company?"
"As I said, I will investigate and gather evidence regarding this matter. Today is a day of exchange between the Capital and Extraordinary Academy of Steel Do City. Xu Mo, you have been reported for planning and instigating riots, misleading the public, and causing chaos in Steel Do City; you are now under arrest for investigation," Nan Mingyuan said, and imdiately many figures erged around them, moving towards Xu Mo’s location.
"What are you doing?" from the direction of Noah Academy, many students stood up and angrily spoke.
Xu Mo committing a cri?
It was clearly the Gene company that had committed the cri, arresting Xu Mo?
Qin Ye and others also rushed onto the Battlefield, coming to Xu Mo’s side and protecting him in the middle.
"Nan Mingyuan," Xu Mo looked up and spoke, "The last ti I was assassinated at Nanming Academy, I presu the people of Steel Do City still rember it. Since nobody found the mastermind behind it, was it you?"
"I accuse Nan Mingyuan of conspiring with the Gene company to harm Dean Lin Qingze, arresting the Old Dean, and intending to cooperate with the Gene company to control Steel Do City," Xu Mo declared aloud, "Extraordinary Academy is a place for nurturing heroes, for nurturing champions. I hope everyone present here lives up to the na of the Extraordinary Academy."
"I think what Xu Mo says is not without reason; we should first thoroughly investigate to ascertain the truth of the matter," soone spoke at this mont, and it was Lin Jue from the world-renowned academy.
"Lin Jue," an elder from the world-renowned academy scolded, during this sensitive period, rashly picking sides could easily lead to disaster.
When Nan Mingyuan ca to power and the Old War God was arrested, their Extraordinary Academy had already lost its cohesion.
Many students wanted to speak but were stopped.
Xu Mo saw all this, feeling a chill in his heart.
Indeed, hot blood was ant for the young.
For most people, interests ca first.
Even though Nan Mingyuan was accused, he still held great power, and no one believed he could be overthrown.
"Xu Mo, you have already disrupted the exchanges at the Extraordinary Academy. If you do not cooperate with the investigation, I will order you to be executed on the spot," Nan Mingyuan declared strongly, obviously harboring the intent to kill.
Previously, he had planned to gradually erode the opponent’s power. In his eyes, Xu Mo was like a turtle in a jar, with no escape.
But unexpectedly, today Xu Mo had given him a heavy blow.
This incident had an extrely adverse impact.
Officials from the Capital were also present, and although the federated cities operated autonomously, there were still so checks and balances. He dared not do whatever he wanted, otherwise, the Federation had the right to intervene directly.
At that mont, soone walked up to Nan Mingyuan and whispered sothing in his ear, causing his face to turn extrely unsightly.
He raised his head and looked at a screen, only to see Commander Qiu’s face appearing there once again.
"Nan Mingyuan, the Gene company has committed such cris, yet instead of investigating the Gene company, you chose to arrest Xu Mo. Right now, the entire Southwest Military District is preparing for battle. If Xu Mo does not return to the Southwest Military District, the entire army will deploy."
The screen switched again, this ti showing another face.
The middle-aged man raised his head and spoke with just one sentence, "My opinion aligns with Qiu Yuan’s."
Boom...
The citizens of Steel Do City completely erupted.
It was Commander Ben, stationed to guard the eastern part of Steel Do City.
Two major military districts expressed their support for Xu Mo.
If Xu Mo were to be arrested at Nanming Academy, the two military districts would declare war directly.
Who could bear such a cost?
The citizens of Steel Do City trembled inwardly; if the four major military districts engaged in a battle royale, Steel Do City would face an apocalypse, and if monsters were to attack, they would likely have no power to resist.
Nan Mingyuan’s face turned ashen.
"I’ll head back first," Xu Mo spoke to Zero.
Zero looked at him, finally understanding why Xu Mo had been so busy these past few days.
It turned out he really was busy.
"Be careful," Zero said softly.
"Okay, if I have a chance to go to the Capital, you have to treat to a al," Xu Mo said with a smile.
"Okay," Zero nodded.
Xu Mo walked towards the outside, with Qin Ye and others fully ard, guarding him. The interceptors looked towards Nan Mingyuan, only to see that Nan Mingyuan was also hesitating.
Xu Mo and his group had already walked out. Nan Mingyuan, with a grim face, turned to the official from the Capital and said, "I apologize for today’s event. I’ll go back and sort these matters out. The eting will be handled by soone else and will not affect the subsequent events."
"Mmhmm," the official from the Capital nodded, not saying much else. This matter was an internal affair of Steel Do City; they found it inappropriate to get involved.
Nan Mingyuan turned and left, with Li Zelong and many others following him.
The eting continued, but the atmosphere was gone. No one from the Capital was willing to take the stage anymore, making the atmosphere extrely awkward.
"Let’s stop here," a representative from the Capital said, clearly out of mood.
anwhile, Steel Do City was already in chaos.
