Chapter 1424 720: Street Fighter_2
Alright, enough said...
Getting ditched by my aunt until she was out of sight was one thing, but being surpassed by Ji Jue too, Lou Fengguang thought he might as well play tug-of-war with his neck and the ceiling beam.
This Ember is just too wicked!
Seeing Lou Feng already drawing circles in self-isolation, Lou Yanyue couldn't help but shake her head, thinking he hasn't been beaten enough...
She had already started chatting with Ji Jue.
"Since we're here, want me to help clean up some trouble while I'm at it?"
"No need, please don't." Ji Jue shook his head, "Just showing up is enough, the less noise the better."
"Alright, you arrange it. Just say the word if you need someone taken care of."
Lou Yanyue waved off without any reservations, took two gulps from a drink on the table, then jumped off her chair and dragged her hapless nephew away by his collar.
Leaving only Ji Jue and Minkler staring at each other.
Old Ghost Ling dared not make a sound behind them.
"Is that... it?" Minkler couldn't believe it.
"Finished? Hardly."
Ji Jue yawned as he got up, "You'd better sleep early, Family Head. Starting tomorrow, you'll probably find it hard to get a good night's sleep."
Think about it, put yourself in Luo Island's shoes, with the Sujano Family's limits, there's no way they'd just sit and do nothing, waiting for the blood feud trial to start.
They will certainly find ways to surprise you with little shocks, small setbacks, and minor accidents.
Through this, they continuously probe Xiang State's situation, whilst exhausting you in dealing with troubles, leaving you unable to regroup and rest easily.
The blood feud trial isn't the end, it's more like a declaration of war!
Xiang State, from now on, will be troubled.
.
.
In reality, they didn't even wait until the next day.
Before dawn broke, things had already started to happen.
In fact, troubles began just as the notice of the blood feud trial arrived, though due to Xiang State's lackluster structure and delayed reporting from below, by the time Minkler received the news at daybreak, it was nearly too late.
An uprising!
A riot that had swept across the entire Xiang State!
Initially, a Xiang State police officer caused the death of an immigrant during an arrest, which was then exposed as police extorting immigrants under the guise of law enforcement, uncovering a large batch of shoddy accounts that ignited the conflict between immigrants and locals.
Ultimately, it spiraled out of control.
The person died at night, the chaos spread that very night, and demonstrations began in the morning, following which the riot engulfed the entire Xiang State.
Long-standing conflicts between immigrants and locals, the Chopra family's bloated and decayed state, and even the corruption within Xiang State's police force, each issue tossed like a Fuel Element into the flames, escalated with malicious intent, on the verge of losing complete control.
Masses of immigrants flooded into Xiang State's commercial district, looting and setting fires, while locals organized to protect themselves, burning several immigrants, including infants...
"They're just a bunch of thugs, Family Head!"
A member of the Chopra family, originally in charge of security, knelt before Minkler, tears streaming down, "A bunch of stinking beggars, originally Xiang State took them in kindly, yet they showed no gratitude, running around waving the flag of equal pay, causing chaos everywhere... It's Fernan, that dog, to blame. This must be something Pu City is doing to harm us, I... I..."
"Alright, shut up."
Minkler looked down at the report, casually pointed, making the director fall to the ground, gasping for air.
The situation was in complete disarray.
Looking down from the mountain, thick smoke rose like gigantic pillars.
Loud booms echoed.
The Fuel Element storage had been blown up.
Right on the third day after he succeeded as Family Head!
"Family Head, the urgent task is to make a quick decision."
Before the words were out, another dull boom was heard, thick smoke rose.
From the direction of the police headquarters...
A collapsing building gradually engulfed in flames. And during the call immediately after, someone reported that among those involved in the riot, quite a few were retired members from former police and military units...
Unless the original institutions are completely disbanded and reorganized, security institutions can no longer be trusted!
This is not merely an ordinary riot; it's fundamentally an insurrection spiraling out of control under instigation!
Specifically targeting a newly established Family Head like Minkler!
Even challenging the Chopra family's centuries-old rule!
But what can Minkler do?
Should he call up the Seven Cities Defense and bombard the city? Or unleash the Family God in a killing spree?
"Looks quite troublesome, doesn't it?"
Lou Yanyue, joining in the fun, laughed, munching on a fruit platter while looking at Ji Jue, "Really don't need my help?"
"No need. If I casually throw a trump card like you, Miss Lou, out there, won't it just become laughable? Someone might be waiting for it behind the scenes."
Ji Jue waved calmly, "Just sit back and watch the employees take down the enemy."
Considering taking control of Xiang State, how could there be no preparation?
Does anyone really think my Coastal Industry is just built of sand?!
But in the end, Ji Jue picked up the walkie-talkie and looked at Minkler, "Anything else you need?"
"..."
After a moment's contemplation, Minkler's iron-blue face gradually calmed, letting out a light sigh. It turned out the time spent as Family Head was too short, "Those incorrigible can die, whatever, just try not to get too many innocents involved."
"Understood."
Ji Jue nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie, "Hey, Old Liang, did you hear the client's requirement?"
"Got it, boss."
In the darkness on the other end, armed to the teeth under exoskeleton equipment, Liang Mo grinned, hanging up the radio, "Got work, brothers!"
In his hand, the tip of the electric baton spat out dazzling sparks, illuminating the forest of steel in the dark, along with countless eager, excited faces.
"This is the first time Central Earth Security Team is officially dispatched, everyone get your act together, if anyone screws up, I'll be the first to beat them into the ground, got it!"
"Got it!!!"
The unified response in the cabin resonated like thunder.
And so, Liang Mo laughed.
"Action!"
Boom!
At Xiang State's port, two massive cargo ships rumbled, the enormous ramps gradually rising. From the darkness of the cargo hold, metallic light poured out like a waterfall.
But before that, sharp buzzing like swarms already resonated.
Countless drones soared skyward like a countercurrent downpour, transforming into thick clouds, swiftly covering the flame and smoke-spread city below.
Amidst the piercing alarm sounds, the scraping of metal continuously echoed.
One by one, exoskeletons like giants strode forward, holding electric batons, accompanied by Peacekeeping Cats ten times over, storming through Xiang State's streets with indifference, charging.
The upfront breakthrough team already swung electric batons into the chaotic crowd!
Starting to generously dispense favors to everyone!
And at the back, as the commander, Liang Mo skillfully tapped his fingers, assigning initial targets and missions on the tactical board, then entrusted command to the center.
Is there anything more fun than being in action?
Don't ask; if you ask, it's just itching to do something!
After all, who wouldn't want to be the king of the streets once?
He gestured to someone behind him, "Come on, Gou Zi!"
Boom!
From the depths of the ship, the modified mechanical beast impatiently stomped, stepping forward, emerging from the darkness. Outrageously large, even compared to a rhino, its vast bulk sparkled under the scorching sun, casting a chilling metallic sheen.
Like a living thing, it opened its mouth and roared loudly.
Formally announcing to all the rioters:
The first Xiang State Unlimited Fighting Championship now begins!
