Arrest

The sixth Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo! Although he had mentally prepared himself, it would be a lie to say his heart wasn't surging with excitement!

But now, he had an even more important task—to ensure Li Yao and Wenina's demise!

Luo Feng, holding his phone, waved slightly at Liu Yan. "Old Liu."

"I'll be heading out now."

Liu Yan left Luo Feng's study with his laptop, leaving Luo Feng alone in the room.

"Were there others in your room?" Liu He chuckled.

Luo Feng walked to the window. "Yes, he's a representative from a special department of the Huaxia Nation. I just asked him for some evidence and materials! I plan to sue Li Yao and Wenina through the War God Palace, accusing them of orchestrating the murder of my parents. Liu He, what do you think will be the final verdict for Li Yao and Wenina?"

"Oh? Those two, Vulture and Scorpion, dared to lay hands on a warrior's family?" Liu He was greatly astonished.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have been so compelled to openly pursue and hunt them down," Luo Feng nodded.

"No wonder!"

"Those two are far too brazen," Liu He's voice on the phone was filled with anger. "Attacking a warrior's family has always been a grave taboo!"

"Liu He, what do you think the verdict will be if they're found guilty?" Luo Feng pressed.

"Death sentence, an undeniable death sentence! And it must be carried out immediately!"

Liu He fumed, "Luo Feng, don't worry, your status is different now. The War God Palace will directly elevate your status to 'Councilor.' As a Councilor! Your position and power are absolutely incomparable. For those two, Vulture and Scorpion, to orchestrate harm against a Councilor's parents, they will naturally face a severe judgment!"

"Luo Feng, you should know that the War God Palace's Council is composed of 52 Councilors and 5 Speakers."

"The verdict is decided by the Council. Harming a Councilor's family is a taboo! This is tantamount to provoking all Councilors, and they must choose to impose a severe sentence. Only then can everyone be deterred," Liu He explained. "This is an unwritten rule: any threat to the 'status, power,' and so on, of all Councilors will be met with unanimous punishment from all Councilors."

"Therefore, as long as there's sufficient evidence, the Vulture and Scorpion couple will face only one outcome—the death sentence, to be carried out immediately!" Liu He spoke all this in one breath, clearly seething with anger.

Luo Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was exactly as he had thought. In reality... when the Vulture and Scorpion couple made their move, Luo Feng wasn't yet a 'Councilor' or 'Inspector.' But! Precisely because Luo Feng's status had changed, the Vulture and Scorpion couple's fate immediately shifted.

...

Inside the study, files and videos filled the laptop screen. Luo Feng meticulously read and watched them.

"Hmph."

"Their methods are truly vicious and unscrupulous." Luo Feng's expression turned grim. Reading through the extensive files and video evidence, every single tactic employed by Li Yao and Wenina, from beginning to end, was laid bare! Luo Feng felt a wave of trepidation; if his younger brother had been a little less capable, his parents would have truly suffered this time.

Fortunately, his younger brother was ruthless enough to directly use the 'Millennium Black Withered Root' to pull strings and become the eighth largest shareholder of the Industrial and Commercial Bank.

One must understand, in this Base City era, it's almost impossible to massively purchase shares of Huaxia Nation's premier bank, the Industrial and Commercial Bank. Even major powers are reluctant to sell! Money alone can't buy them; only a treasure like the 'Millennium Black Withered Root,' which money also can't buy, could secure such a deal.

"This evidence is more than sufficient."

"Even presenting a tenth of this evidence would be enough to prove their guilt."

Luo Feng immediately closed the videos, Word documents, and other files. He packaged all the evidence, then accessed his personal page to submit and transmit it to the War God Palace, clearly stating the defendants and charges in the accompanying email.

Just three minutes later. His phone's ringtone sounded, and Luo Feng picked it up.

"Councilor Luo Feng, hello." A clear, gentle voice spoke. "We just received your email. Is it Councilor Luo Feng himself who wishes to press charges against Li Yao and Wenina Polenas?"

"Yes!" Luo Feng nodded.

"Alright, once the court location and time are confirmed, we will notify Councilor Luo Feng."

After the phone confirmation, staff members of the War God Palace immediately began making arrangements.

...

Indeed, there were many files and videos, and it took Luo Feng over two hours to read through them all. By the time this news reached Hong, the Grand Hall Master of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, it was already evening.

Inside the colossal spaceship building, the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. In a quiet room. The black-clad man, Hong, held a cup of hot tea, browsing through some online information.

"Master!"

A low voice echoed in the quiet room. "Councilor Luo Feng has submitted evidence, pressing charges against Li Yao and Wenina Polenas for orchestrating the murder of his parents."

"Is the evidence sufficient?" The black-clad man, Hong, frowned slightly.

"The evidence is sufficient," the voice replied.

The black-clad man, Hong, nodded slightly. "Notify the three best lawyers within my Extreme Martial Arts Dojo to take on this case! Also... arrange for a planetary-level expert to personally arrest Li Yao and Wenina, and conduct the trial tomorrow at 3:30 PM in our headquarters' Supreme Court."

"Luo Feng is about to publicly assume the role of Inspector for my Extreme Martial Arts Dojo! I want this case handled flawlessly," the black-clad man, Hong, instructed.

"Yes."

After the low voice uttered that single word, silence once again settled in the quiet room.

...

In Mingyue Residential District that evening, lights twinkled in every home.

Luo Feng stood on the balcony, gazing up at the endless night sky, at the vast Star River.

"Hmm?" His phone rang.

Luo Feng took out his phone and saw it was Xu Xin calling. He answered, "Hello."

"Why didn't you come to pick me up?" Xu Xin asked.

"My apologies, I've been busy with some matters and just finished. How about I come to Jingdu City now?" Luo Feng felt a bit apologetic; his mind had been entirely focused on his parents since his return, and he hadn't thought about picking up Xu Xin.

"I'm here, right at the entrance of your Mingyue Residential District."

Click! The call ended.

Luo Feng was slightly stunned. Xu Xin had already traveled from Jingdu City to his doorstep?

"I'm such an idiot," Luo Feng cursed himself inwardly. He shot out from the balcony, like an afterimage streaking across the sky. Aided by his spiritual force, he flew nearly a hundred meters through the air before landing, then covered the roughly 30-meter distance to the Mingyue Residential District's main gate in a few bounds.

Luo Feng saw at a glance...

At the entrance of the Residential District, under the dim light of a streetlamp, a slightly slender girl stood silently. This sight made Luo Feng's heart ache slightly.

As his girlfriend, Xu Xin hadn't enjoyed any benefits, but instead had suffered quite a bit! Even after his return... he hadn't had time to attend to her, letting her travel alone from thousands of miles away.

...

Xu Xin looked inside through the Residential District gate, her body trembling slightly.

It was deep winter, and night!

Although Jingdu City was also cold, its air was dry, whereas Jiangnan City was damp and cold! After Xu Xin received Luo Feng's call, she hastily took the earliest train, arriving in Yangzhou City several hours later, completely unaware that Jiangnan City was even colder.

"Xu Xin." A voice sounded beside her.

Xu Xin froze, then turned to look beside her. That familiar figure—it was her first love, her boyfriend. For over a year, especially these past three months, Xu Xin had been grieving daily. "Luo Feng!" Xu Xin's voice was hoarse. She cried out, then couldn't help but burst into tears, immediately embracing Luo Feng, holding him tightly!

"I'm sorry, truly sorry." Luo Feng held Xu Xin, feeling her tears soak through the fabric over his chest.

Under the biting winter wind, beneath the dim streetlamp... After one year and three months, Luo Feng and Xu Xin finally met again.

...

Compared to Luo Feng and Xu Xin's reunion, which was tinged with heartache yet also a hint of warmth! At this moment, Li Yao and Wenina, though together, were in utter disarray.

On a passenger plane flying from Jiangnan City to Paris Base City, Europe.

Li Yao and Wenina held each other's hands.

"This is big trouble now," Wenina glanced at the surrounding passengers, then lowered her voice. "He's become a Councilor! Dealing with us in the future will be..."

"Don't be afraid."

Li Yao whispered, "We waited for the passenger plane in Jiangnan City for two or three hours, and they didn't come for us then! Once we're back in Paris Base City, that's our territory. We have Councilors from our HR Alliance there, and my senior is also there. It'll be fine, absolutely fine."

He didn't know if he was comforting Wenina or himself.

"How could this happen? How did he become a Councilor!" Wenina gritted her teeth.

Li Yao's eyes also flickered with fierce light.

"Damn it!"

"Endure, endure, we can only endure," Li Yao whispered, forcing each word through gritted teeth.

The passenger plane finally arrived in Paris, Europe.

The sky over Paris was somewhat dim at the moment, but not completely dark. At the Paris Base City airport, the passenger plane slowly descended. After it came to a stop, the cabin door automatically opened, and the stairs extended.

Passengers disembarked one by one.

"We're back."

"Finally back in Paris," Wenina showed a hint of a smile. Li Yao also rarely smiled, and this was the first time he had since learning Luo Feng had become a 'Councilor.'

The Vulture and Scorpion couple descended the stairs amidst the crowd.

"Li Yao, Wenina!" A voice rang out.

The Vulture and Scorpion couple were startled. They turned to look and saw four figures approaching not far away. One of the two leading figures was a middle-aged man in a black robe with brown curly hair, his gaze like lightning, making people afraid to meet it. Beside him was a person with long, streaked white hair, their entire being resembling a withered tree trunk.

"Councilor Yan, Councilor Bonite." Wenina was startled.

"Senior," Li Yao looked at the old man.

That old man, Yan Hai, was precisely the one with deep connections to Li Yao.

The adjacent Councilor Bonite coldly stared at Wenina and Li Yao, stating indifferently, "We, representing the War God Palace, officially arrest you. Should you resist, we have the right to kill both of you."

Li Yao and Wenina's eyes widened. They had thought they were back on their home turf, but they never expected such a situation upon arrival.

"Senior!!!" Li Yao repeatedly looked at Yan Hai. Yan Hai sighed softly, "Little Vulture, this is an order from the highest echelons of the War God Palace. No one can help you. You... were too reckless this time, far too reckless! Come, don't resist; perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope." Being arrested in the name of the War God Palace meant that resisting was tantamount to opposing the entire War God Palace.

The War God Palace was an organization comprising all Wargods and all beings who surpassed Wargods.

"Resist?"

"Are you looking for death?"

"Click!"

Wenina and Li Yao were handcuffed with specialized restraints. They were somewhat dazed but offered no resistance.

"Senior, Senior," Li Yao looked at Yan Hai. Yan Hai sighed and said nothing.

"Take them away," Councilor Bonite ordered coldly from the side.
