Chapter 346: Wouldn’t Dare To Say A Word In Protest

Chapter 346: Wouldn’t Dare To Say A Word In Protest

“I think, with Miss Gu by their side, they only need to focus on one thing—getting stronger.” Yi Tiao quickly added on to Yi Tong’s statement. “Miss Gu should be able to handle the rest of the matters herself.”

“Will something happen to the Peacekeepers if things go on at this rate?” asked Yi Tong with a surprised expression.

They shouldn’t be relying too much on her all the time, right? What would happen if the day comes when Gu Xiqiao won’t be able to oversee their operations constantly?

“Your worries are in futility,” responded Yi Bing. “Perhaps you have forgotten about the commander of the Peacekeepers?”

“Commander?” Yi Tong was puzzled. Why didn’t he know about this? Who was the commander?

“You think Luo Wenlang, the founder of Peace Manor is just there for show? That man’s intellect is arguably on par with that of Miss Gu’s. You two wait and see for yourselves. The men Miss Gu recruits are all masters in their own game.” Yi Bing turned towards Alang.

He wondered what powers were hidden within this newly-recruited member of the Peacekeepers.

Perhaps out of exhaustion, the Peacekeepers sat down on the floor and were chatting away casually. Yi Bing overheard Wu Hongwen chatting with his mates about war tactics when he looked over.

Then, he heard him say the following, “Xiao Yun, you are quite powerful. From now on, we’ll try to immobilize the enemy, which is when you’ll use all your might against him. We’ll strike fear into their hearts whenever they hear about us in the future.”

Xiao Yun looked down at the injury on her arm, which was healing up gradually. Quietly, she mumbled her reply, “Fine.”

Fine? Nothing about this conversation sounds fine! Yi Bing was at a loss for words. Silently, he turned away, not wanting to hear more about their morbid discussion.

“Say, where’s Xixi and Dog Feed?” Wu Hongwen suddenly realized that Xixi and Dog Feed were nowhere to be seen after the battle had ended. Going by how events would play out in the past, those two should’ve been receiving praise from their fellow team members by now. Why did they leave so soon today?

He looked around, only to find his men shake their heads at him, an indication that they too, had no idea where those two were.

Wu Hongwen spun around once but saw no signs of Xixi nor Dog Feed. Instead, he saw Alang, who was standing next to Jiji. His eyes lit up and he got onto his feet immediately. Walking up to Alang, he asked, “Are you the new member they’re talking about?”

Alang’s mind had yet to register Wu Hongwen’s words but he had already started nodding unconsciously. Recognizing that this was the person whom he battled the giant serpent alongside, he muttered under his breath, “I think so?”

Alang was shocked to discover that he’d have such powerful comrades.

“I’m Wu Hongwen from the 1st squad. Still, I couldn’t help but notice how weak you were.” Wu Hongwen patted his shoulder. “You can’t stay like this forever. You’d get crushed to death when we get back to the Ancient Martial Arts World.”

Wu Hongwen’s words reminded Alang of what Yi Tong had said previously. He now understood perfectly what Yi Tong was trying to tell him. What a terrifying organization he was getting into unknowingly. But, many must’ve envied him to be able to do so.

Alang no longer possessed the sense of self-satisfaction he had from the beginning. That was because he was reminded of his place in the hierarchy upon seeing how insanely powerful the rest of his peers were.

“I will strive to get stronger,” replied Alang with his fists balled up tightly. He proceeded to introduce himself, “My name’s Alang!”

“Okay. Well, I wish you good luck with that. Now, Alang, let’s bring you to our captain.” Wu Hongwen brought Alang, whose spirit was at its peak, over to meet the leader of the Peacekeepers.

Xiao Yun glanced at him and answered instantly, “His power is insufficient. Work hard, there are more battles waiting for you in the future.”

“He really does need to sharpen his abilities,” said Gu Xiqiao who walked over from behind. Walking next to her was the tall Jiang Shuxuan.

The sun was already setting on the western horizon at this point, where their shadows beneath their feet started to lengthen. As they had approached from the direction of the sun, it was hard to make out clearly their faces.

The Peacekeepers sprung to their feet right after seeing these two.

Yao Jiamu, Wu Hongwen, and Xiao Yun were all looking at Jiang Shuxuan. During the battle, they were able to sense quite clearly, the forces that were interacting with each other and how powerful each attack was. Gu Xiqiao’s lightning attacks contained the most amount of energy and consequently, had the most destructive power. They were, however, surprised by the person standing next to her.

For some reason, Jiang Shuxuan was able to control the energy within Gu Xiqiao’s attack.

Not only had he managed to bring it under his control, but he was also able to manipulate it as if he understood the mechanism’s ins and outs perfectly. They had speculated about his strength in the past but the Jiang Shuxuan of today, they felt had become degrees more powerful than the Jiang Shuxuan of the past.

He raised his head and his eyes scanned the faces of the Peacekeepers calmly. Despite how tranquil the situation looked to an outsider, chills crept up nearly every one of their spines the moment they made eye contact with Jiang Shuxuan.

“Miss Gu, Mister Jiang,” they greeted.

Jiang Shuxuan bowed slightly whereas Gu Xiqiao acknowledged their greeting verbally. Turning towards Alang, she said, “Today, Xixi and Dog Feed won’t be with us. However, they still are part of the team. I’ll have them explain themselves when they return.”

Alang had by now managed to stomach how a flower could be so powerful. There was a brief pause before he spoke up, “I have already seen them.”

“Seen them?” Gu Xiqiao questioned. “What’s the matter with them?”

Alang glanced back at Gu Xiqiao, wondering if he should say something in response.

Jiang Shuxuan merely shot him a brief glance before chuckling in Gu Xiqiao’s direction. He showed more expressions in the past five minutes than the past combined. His smile melted away the layer of ice that separated him and the outside world, or like dark clouds that were parted, revealing a ray of sunlight that lit up the ground below.

Gu Xiqiao looked up at him. It was definitely a rare sight to see him laughing. “Brother Jiang, do you know anything about their disappearance?”

“They were with him before they left. Dog Feed-” Jiang Shuxuan paused for a while to think about the oddness of this name Gu Xiqiao had come up with for that flower. “Dog Feed wanted to swallow him, but was stopped by Xixi.”

“Pfft!” The Peacekeepers erupted into laughter right after Jiang Shuxuan ended his sentence. Then, some of them asked if Alang had done anything to piss off that flower.

“…”

His weakness wasn’t the problem here, that flower was way too powerful!

Jiang Shuxuan walked up to the leader of the American supernatural organizations and told him, “Get the people in command of your supernatural organizations into your meeting room. We have an important announcement to make.”

Their leader had zero doubts about something which Jiang Shuxuan was claiming to be an important matter. He turned towards his men and hastily ordered them to do as told.

Dusk was approaching as the last rays of sunlight shot up into the clouds. From the rooftop, one could see the cracks on the ground which stretched across the zoo, as well as the carcasses of many different animals. Indeed, it was a gory sight to behold.

Gu Xiqiao and her team had already left, but there were still a number of people not wanting to leave this place behind.

“I’m guessing the person who is behind this plot is crying his eyes out,” said Yi Bing with a snicker. “Maybe they wanted to cripple the United States, or perhaps they wanted to wipe out half of the supernatural forces here but what they got instead, was an ass-whooping by the Peacekeepers.”

If not for Gu Xiqiao, anarchy would’ve descended upon the people of the United States.

Yi Tong, Yi Tiao, and the rest of the men all thought the same.

Their biggest mistake was not taking into account the fact that Gu Xiqiao would come here personally with her Peacekeepers to completely wipe them off the face of the earth, denying them completely the opportunity to proceed with their plans, let alone retaliate.

Li Yu stood at one side, observing the aftermath of the battle. He inhaled deeply as a smile broke across his face. Just as she had said, it really was an interesting show.

He pulled out his phone and snapped a few photos. Then, a notification popped up simultaneously.

[Minotaur Among Men]

Director Cheng: Li Yu, you’re in the cast of ‘Intergalactic Warfare’ aren’t you?

Director Cheng: Did Miss Gu come over to the States for vacation?

Director Cheng: I spoke to Neil today. He told me he’s going to meet her!

Director Cheng: If she has the time to go on vacation, why hasn’t she the time to help me in two more films?

Ning Qing: Director Cheng, stop spamming. Miss Gu’s doing a job over there!

Director Cheng: A job? I don’t buy it. There’s no way she’ll ever treat her job seriously!

Li Yu looked down at the message and thought to himself, ‘But that really was the truth. First, she replaced the head of the Dickens family and then turned the American political arena into a chaotic sh*tshow, before proceeding to raze a zoo to the ground. How could she not be busy?’

Li Yu: [jpeg] “Look what she’s done to this zoo. Director Cheng, read up on the recent events happening in America and you’ll know just what Gu Xiqiao has been up to.”

Director Cheng, who was currently in China, saw the picture and tapped the link which Li Yu sent him. Upon reading the article, he couldn’t help but ask, “She removed the leader of the Dickens family? And she did this to the poor animals? Perhaps it’s time for you to get your brain checked, Li Yu.”

Ning Qing: As expected of her!

Song Guanjing: I’m impressed!

Su Wen: I was wondering about the purpose of Miss Gu’s visit to the United States. I keep seeing discussions in the group about the situation for the Bai gang, but I must say, only Miss Gu is capable of such things.

Director Cheng: …

Song Guanjing: I’m guessing you’re at the scene of the battle? Man, I should’ve accepted that role in ‘Intergalactic Warfare’ too!

Director Cheng: …

Ning Qing: Oh god, I should’ve been there personally. Say, Senior Li, did you manage to record the fight?

Director Cheng: …

Gu Xiqiao had already arrived at the great hall where the supernatural organizations of the United States usually congregated. Seeing that nobody was here yet, she pulled out her phone. Just as she was about to boot up her favorite game, a couple of notifications popped up on her phone.

Upon reading through their conversation, she sent an emoticon.

For A Millenium: ^_^

Cecily and her brother looked for seats closer to Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan. “Miss Gu, what important announcement are you guys gonna make?” Cecil was rather curious about it.

Gu Xiqiao looked up and gave him a cheeky smile. “You’ll know when we announce it.”

Jiang Shuxuan on the other hand, kept his eyes glued onto the main entrance.

The higher-ups of the American supernatural organizations arrived in a timely fashion. Except for the handful whom Gu Xiqiao got to know at the zoo, most of them were fresh faces. They knew who Jiang Shuxuan was but virtually knew nothing about Gu Xiqiao. What’s more, Gu Xiqiao’s seat was behind Jiang Shuxuan so her presence was hard to notice.

“Mister Jiang, everyone is present today,” said the leader of the American supernatural organizations.

Jiang Shuxuan nodded. He rose from his seat, about to say something.

Just then, a young girl smashed through the front door with a loud ‘bang’.

“Uncle, these two are trying to eat your treasured items!”

She was fairly young but her face was filled with rage. She was holding onto a red bird with one hand, and a pink little blossom in the other.

Her unexpected appearance in the hall meant that all eyes were on her. These weren’t ordinary eyes mind you, for the people gathered here today were all high-status members of the supernatural world.

They recognized who this girl was in an instant. She was none other than the beloved niece of the second-in-command.

“Terribly sorry about that,” said Gu Xiqiao who suddenly got up from her seat. She directed an apologetic look at the young girl. “These are my pets. You tell me what these two ate later alright? I’ll provide compensation for the trouble they have caused.”

Their leader’s expression darkened the moment he heard about their treasures being eaten. And this girl must have guts to admit that they were her pets. Was she looking for an early death? Those who did not know her looked at her with sympathy, for they knew this place was where she would die.

Suddenly, Narry shot up from his seat.

It’s all over now, thought the Americans. In the next second, however, they almost fell out of their seats in surprise.

“Carrie, hurry up and return them to Miss Gu!” yelled Narry. “Miss Gu, we are pleased to hear that our treasures are appreciated by these two grandmasters,” he said in a respectful tone.

They all stared at Narry in disbelief. What’s up with him today? God, was this the same, petty Narry that they knew from before?

Only a handful of people present in the hall knew of the truth. Narry of course had not gone mad. The thing is, he was speaking to Gu Xiqiao. In fact, even if her pets decided to turn the United States of America upside-down, he still wouldn’t dare to utter a word in protest!

Just wait and see. You’ll definitely get the shock of your life!
