Chapter 737 279: A Ruthless Person Meets Their Match【4600 words】

In the governance system of Source Star, the Telekinesis Master Institution is a very special entity.

Nominally, it directly obeys the Supreme Elder Council and has multiple functions such as investigation, interrogation, and judgment.

It has absolute power of oversight and judgment over all citizens below the Seventh Level.

Its duties integrate the three pillars of public security, prosecution, and law, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Ming Dynasty.

However, due to the nine Supreme Elders being in long-term cryogenic sleep, the Telekinesis Master Institution normally obeys the Association Elder Council.

Ying Hao, the youngest elder of the Source Star Business Association in the Promotion Association, wields significant influence within the Elder Council.

Consequently, Ying Hao's control over the Telekinesis Master Institution is also profound.

Xiao Xingyue is Ying Hao's trusted aide, and naturally enjoys certain privileges.

Arresting and interrogating on the spot a Fourth Level Citizen with a unique background like Wang Jinsou without any substantial evidence is indeed a violation.

After all, Wang Jinsou has the inheritance right of a Seventh Level Citizen, and the Source Star governance system must uphold the status and interests of high-level citizens.

If high-level citizens can be judged arbitrarily, it would greatly undermine the Source Star people's confidence in the citizen system.

If things continue this way, the Source Star societal system, which barely maintains stability amidst delicate balance, will become turbulent.

If this happened fifty years ago, Ren Zhong's request would, in any case, be rejected by Ying Hao.

But the situation has changed now, with the great migration imminent, and Ying Hao originally intended to initiate a major reshuffle.

The premise of shuffling is precisely to create chaos.

As long as there is disorder, no matter the kind, it is an opportunity for him.

Ren Zhong's request aligns, in some way, with Ying Hao's needs.

Ying Hao is merely going with the flow.

Wang Jinsou never imagined that he would "fortunately" become involved in a top-tier struggle completely beyond his own and even his father's level, and gloriously become the fuse that ignites the world.

Of course, even if he knew, he would not feel honored.

When Xiao Xingyue arrived outside the gates of the luxurious manor, Wang Jinsou was selecting new pets in the vast garden.

About seventy to eighty people stood naked in the garden.

These people were both men and women, mostly with handsome and beautiful appearances and good figures.

Although everyone was afraid, they did not dare to lower their heads, instead raising their necks and staring straight ahead.

Wang Jinsou reclined on the sofa, his head resting on a plump thigh.

Someone fed him fruits, someone massaged his legs, and someone fanned him.

A total of eleven or twelve people attended to him.

This enjoyment was a trick he learned from others, supposedly having an ancient style.

According to historical records, ancient kings or great nobles often did this, appearing both tasteful and cultured.

Wang Jinsou did not lack playthings; it was just that several had died today, so he needed to replenish them.

What does the old saying go? 'One regrets not having enough when one needs them.'

Wang Jinsou's gaze wandered over the dozens of people in front but found himself increasingly dissatisfied.

"What kind of trash are these!"

He spat out a grape seed.

The grape seed fell straight down.

A pale boy squatting at the side swiftly pounced like a cat, catching the seed before it hit the ground to prevent it from dirtying the garden carpet.

Because of the forceful forward motion, the boy's chin thudded to the ground, instantly turning purple-red.

But there was no sign of pain on his face as he hurriedly got up and obediently crouched at the side of the long leather sofa.

Another middle-aged man in a butler outfit quickly approached and said, "Boss, these people were summoned according to the list previously collected by Zheng Dafa. It's not due to my incompetence! Should we send them all away? Select anew?"

Wang Jinsou curled his lips, "Really? Fine, as it's Zheng Dafa's first time helping me choose pets, I'll give him some face and reluctantly keep a few."

Actually, these people were carefully selected wastelanders and destitute citizens from within Chongyi County, with top-notch looks, figures, and temperament under normal circumstances.

The reason Wang Jinsou felt dissatisfied at the moment was because he subconsciously thought of Ju Qingmeng's aloof and cold image.

What is unattainable is always the best.

In comparison, he naturally felt unsatisfied.

But he was not in a hurry; once Zheng Dafa brought back good news, he would immediately send someone to capture Ju Qingmeng, who was in Chongyi County.

Oh right, and that woman in white.

The industries of the Ren Group in Starfire Town are a different matter, but people must be thoroughly enjoyed first.
