Chapter 870 - 529: Situation Out of Control, A Full Set of Framing and Entrapment
"There is such a possibility."
The convoy finally drove away from the Congress Square, and Chairman Li Yun nodded solemnly.
A Second Stage Legend, with individual strength at this level, is top-tier combat power, even in the Platinum Federation, and extremely rare.
Wang Cheng is currently being sent away, obviously making this possibility the greatest.
However.
The aged face showed confusion, and he was somewhat curious about the Federation’s purpose.
A Second Stage Legend is hard to annihilate, the Immortal’s Original Consciousness can return to the Red Capital at any time.
And as envoys of Chi Country, after the conflict at the port, they would not face overt threats, at least not in the short term.
Then, what exactly does the Federation want to do?
The thought flashed through, and Chairman Li Yun slightly tilted his head, looking at Chen Feng.
He was about to speak, but.
BOOM!!
An explosion suddenly resounded from the Black Port City North District, with dazzling flames shooting skyward.
Chen Feng squinted his eyes slightly, looking from afar.
On one side, Chairman Li Yuan received an emergency communication and his face changed slightly.
....
BOOM!!
"No!!"
The sound of the explosion and angry shouts rang out simultaneously, and the faces of many whites in the neon district changed drastically, looking up to the sky upon hearing the sound.
A figure in black clothing was blasted into the air, wrapped in the shockwave and flying glass shards, about to fall from a hundred meters high.
His eyes were full of bloodshot lines, clearly about to fall to the Earth, facing certain death.
But he couldn’t care about his own safety. Instead, as he was falling, he stared dead at the source of it all.
It was a glass skyscraper that appeared intact, with silhouettes coming and going, yet at this moment, it was engulfed in explosive flames.
The walls and windows of several floors burst open simultaneously, debris flew everywhere, and thick smoke swept wildly.
Including several companions and some traces of clues inside, all forcibly destroyed at this moment.
"Ah!!"
He roared in sorrow and anger, not only feeling the mission had failed but also heartbroken by the deaths of his comrades.
With a death wish, watching the asphalt road of the ground coming closer and closer.
He gave up any means of leveraging himself, exceptionally remorseful, just wanting to end his life with this.
Buzz!!
However, a fierce wind swept by.
The figure flying backward was caught, the gravity of the hundred-meter fall didn’t cause even a bit of rebound.
The high-temperature jet tail flames buzzed and roared, vibrating the air.
The masked man, filled with a death wish, trembled, hastily turned his head, and instantly saw that familiar, trustworthy young face.
"My lord!!"
The tone was sorrowful, shaking uncontrollably.
The masked man’s body went limp, almost collapsing to his knees.
They were clearly here to find traces of Han Mingchuan and had found solid evidence, about to succeed in the arrest.
But why did it come to this result?
Ta ta ta ta ta!
Footsteps of people were fleeing in panic throughout the surrounding district, with stimulated screams ringing in his ears.
Wang Cheng stood in place, somewhat not knowing how to face his subordinate in front of him, especially with that direct and heartfelt inquiry.
"I was late."
After a brief silence, his lowered left fist clenched tightly.
Unable to bear looking at his subordinate’s trembling eyes any longer, Wang Cheng raised his head, looking toward the high-altitude smoke and charred building levels.
Even though the colorful Crystal Badge on his chest still shone, a trace of unshakable gloom appeared in his heart.
He could have been faster, preventing all this from happening.
But...
Buzz!!
Moisture spread through the high-altitude cloud layers, forming a vortex.
A tall black-clad woman appeared out of thin air, her long brown hair flowing with the wind, like a god mastering the rain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how heroic indeed."
Her voice was mocking, even pitying.
The suddenly appearing Helena looked indifferent, just casually glancing at the exploded skyscraper before moving her gaze to the ground.
The atmosphere sank, and Wang Cheng, standing on the district road, had a look that turned cold.
The fluorescent veins on his face lit up inch by inch as if charging, staring at her deadly, murderous intent raging in his heart.
From the moment he left the Congress Palace, she had been tracking him, restraining and entangling him several times.
Because of this, after Han Mingchuan’s position continued to move and change, he was a step late and could not save this subordinate team’s tragedy.
"Oh right."
Suddenly, as if she hadn’t noticed Wang Cheng’s murderous intent.
High above, Helena turned her back to the clouds covering the sky, her tone casual, again stirring the patter of rain.
"I forgot to tell you, in this building, there are indeed members of our Federal Old Covenant Faction’s congressmen."
"And now...."
The teasing tone turned to coldness, her mocking expression looking down on the Earth.
Helena waved her hand slightly, and waves of buzzing air swiftly approached.
"Your people are suspected of plotting city riots, destroying private property, and murdering our Federation Council members."
"The situation is dire, with negative impacts...."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Figures riding personal flying devices descended rapidly.
There were both Mechanical Martial weapons and Transformed People.
They filled the sky like locusts, even activating ion light shields and blue force fields simultaneously to isolate the crowd and seal off surrounding streets.
"Considering all of the above, and further according to the provisions of our Federation laws...."
A slight smile at the corner of the mouth, with a Legendary Mechanical Weapon appearing behind.
Helena was fearless, her pupils reflecting the rain, along with the cold and sullen Red Country Flying General.
"We are authorized to execute you on the spot!"
....
Buzz!!
Communication suddenly cut off, and the faces of Li Yun and others in the Red Country’s convoy changed slightly.
The explosion and flames in the North District of Black Port City were too sudden, inevitably causing an ominous feeling to rise.
"It seems our suspicions were correct."
Chairman Li Yun said in a deep voice, feeling a sense of urgency.
An aging face quietly revealed worry; if not for his plans and considerations, Wang Cheng would not have suddenly left.
To this, Chen Feng did not respond.
The voice of the Star Spirit echoed in his mind, as the other party was intensively linking distant communication signals.
Selin seemed to have sent some critical information, but unfortunately, it was interrupted by abnormal electromagnetic interference at the end.
"It is likely the handiwork of the Platinum Federation."
The Star Spirit stated confidently. Hearing this, Chen Feng’s expression remained the same, but his eyes gradually grew colder.
Wang Cheng’s departure was actually a previous plan of the envoys; long before today’s arrival, Chairman Li Yun had quietly mentioned it to him.
The Platinum Federation occupied geographical advantages, with many forces hidden in the dark.
To be safe, they needed someone to draw out the opponent’s subsequent means, to lay the cards on the table, and expedite negotiations.
Therefore, regardless of whether the Han Mingchuan incident was a trap or not.
Either he or Wang Cheng had to go.
If true, everything would proceed smoothly.
If false, then let the Federation believe the ruse succeeded, thus exposing its forces openly.
"I now only worry that their methods might be more intense than I imagined."
"If so, the diversion really becomes an isolated one without assistance."
Chairman Li Yun said again, his weathered voice carrying a hint of fatigue.
As the highest representative of the envoy, the pressure he endured was beyond ordinary imagination.
He had to bear the consequences of each decision, the corresponding pros and cons having been discussed countless times.
For a moment, looking at the other’s gray hair and aged face.
Chen Feng’s gaze wavered, feeling the other’s fatigue.
Just about to speak.
"Hmm?"
Slightly frowning, he suddenly sensed something, looking around.
The convoy entered the district, with the neon projections on both sides still floating.
Seemingly normal, but.
"Get out!!"
"Red Country’s people, you’re not welcome here!!"
"It was your people who killed Congressman Mengge!!"
Buzz!!
A sudden burst of noise came from outside the convoy, flooding in violently.
Supermarkets, malls, restaurants....
Federation citizens, with skin tones either white or black, rushed out from both sides of the street, blocking the way in an instant.
The normally traveling convoy was forced to slow down, Chairman Li Yun and others’ expressions changed again, clearly seeing the insulting banners those people held up.
"What’s going on?"
"Did something happen to Congressman Mengge?"
During a moment of surprise, the envoy’s people sensed something unusual.
The convoy’s speed slowed more and more, nearly stopping.
Originally leading the way with Federation vehicles and foreign affairs personnel, they had somehow been isolated by the crowd, as if losing contact, helpless.
"Stop them!!"
"These bastards, damn Red Country freaks!"
"They provoked us before, these ignorant imperial fools!"
"Smash them!!"
Bang bang bang bang!!
Someone, leading, shouted angrily, hidden within the crowd.
Eggs, benches, stones....
All sorts of debris were thrown by the blocking crowd, full of insulting expulsion.
Seeing this scene, the envoy’s security scowled, immediately using the force field to isolate and forcibly block the convoy.
The world briefly went silent, with many pieces of debris being blocked outside the convoy.
But quickly, such actions seemed like a fuse, instantly igniting the nearby hundreds or thousands of Federation citizens.
The sound of curses arose again, even more intense, turning into a frenzy.
The situation spiraled increasingly out of control, with the whole Red Country’s envoy convoy surrounded in the center, as if encountering locusts, with nowhere to escape.
