Chapter 707: Chapter 661: Execution
Six hours later, at the intersection of Vanguard Street in the eastern district of Ninth Base City.
Shi Yan sat on the steps of the urban rail station, eating bread and drinking milk while listening to the news broadcast from her smart terminal wristband.
“——Today at 9:35 a.m., a violent explosion occurred at the home of Alexander Bagreav, the First Deputy Minister of the Security Bureau’s Twelfth Division and a One-star Marshal. When Security Bureau combat personnel arrived for reinforcement, they found that Marshal Bagreav had already died at his residence. Reports suggest there were extensive signs of combat at the scene, and Marshal Bagreav’s corpse was found to contain severe toxins. He is the sixth marshal-level high-ranking official assassinated since early this morning.”
“According to a source, the attackers are presumed to belong to the terrorist organization ‘Longevity Association.’ This covert society, which has been officially designated as a terrorist group by the President, possesses extraordinary military power. Its members are said to include over a hundred Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators, more than five hundred Eighth Realm individuals, as well as numerous consortiums and banks involved.”
“At 9:45 a.m. today, an interstellar cargo vessel captured footage of a Divine Envoy-level battle in outer space. One of the combatants has been identified as Security Bureau’s First Commander, Li Xianglong. Our station is currently negotiating with the trading company to acquire the video.”
“——The Security Bureau headquarters held a press conference today. According to their spokesperson, the Security Bureau has, as of today, killed over 3,500 Longevity Association members, including twelve Eighth and Ninth Realm individuals, and vows to severely punish the association and its perpetrators!”
“The five major base cities directly controlled by the East Asia Republic are now under martial law starting today.”
“In related news, the Mayor of our city, Huo Bangguo, has accepted an invitation from Lin Hao, a National Guardian of Great Song, Cabinet Minister, and Minister of Commerce, to visit the Star Port. It is reported that the National Guardian of Great Song intends to expand medicinal crop cultivation and improve yield across the eight states of Heluo, seeking technological assistance from Ninth Base City——”
Shi Yan’s lips twitched slightly at the thought that Mayor Huo Bangguo seemed to have learned nothing from his previous encounters.
Despite falling victim to countless ‘lure-the-tiger-from-the-mountain’ ploys, he never seems to learn.
Amidst the intensifying conflict between the Security Bureau and the Longevity Association, with the storm growing fierce, Lin Hao merely beckoned him with a finger, and Huo Bangguo obediently ran to Sky Extreme Star.
Once he’s caught under the Heavenly Curtain, nestled at Great Song’s Star Port, he won’t be back for the next few days.
Or perhaps, he was just unwilling to get involved in the storm altogether, deliberately avoiding confrontation?
Shi Yan finished off her bread in just a few bites and then donned the cloak of her long trench coat.
What do you think?
