Chapter 21: A Great Stroke of Luck
Lin Yi flew rapidly towards the Paris base city, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"I disdain playing word games. 'Letting it go this time' is now a word game for 'next time'."
"As members of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, we have a duty to report and arrest a madman like Li Yao who possesses a dangerous and lethal laser cannon, and bring him to justice for official trial."
While accepting a maid like her aunt might be appealing, she would never leave Li Yao, this ticking time bomb, by her parents' and Xu Xingyue's side.
Li Yao was going to die no matter what; the only question was how.
Lin Yi transformed into a streak of light and entered the Paris base city.
"Little Devourer, pinpoint the location!"
Just now, when the phytophagous vine wrapped around Li Yao, it left a little plant sap on his skin. The sap was colorless and odorless, and was difficult for ordinary people to detect. The phytophagous vine was very sensitive to this smell.
Soon, Lin Yi flew to a building that was entirely blue, with a spire at the top that transmitted satellite signals... the Paris Broadcasting Building!
Lin Yi smiled.
"Li Yao is really clever. He was afraid that I would go back on my word, so he chose a place with such advanced media."
Li Yao's intention was simply to use public opinion and rules to suppress Lin Yi, preventing him from openly trying to kill him.
On the 28th floor of the building, Li Yao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at Lin Yi across the azure blue glass. He had a smile on his face, as if he had just survived a disaster. He was holding a document in his hand and pointing to a line of text.
Lin Yi, with his exceptional eyesight, discovered that it was a clause in the global security regulations—private fighting among martial artists is strictly prohibited within the base city; violators will be executed!
This is a global ironclad rule, an ironclad rule endorsed by all major powers.
Lin Yi smiled at Li Yao's confident and fearless demeanor.
He raised his right hand and waved at Li Yao...
Whoosh!
Before Lin Yi could lower his hand, the golden vines shot out like a venomous dragon, piercing through the glass that was supposed to withstand ordinary bomb attacks as if it were made of paper, and in the next instant, dragged Li Yao out of the building.
The Life-Eating Vine was clearly furious with Li Yao for attacking its master several times.
"Lin Yi, you can't kill me!"
"The use of force is strictly prohibited within the base city, not even by councilors!"
"You'll die if you kill me!"
Li Yao begged for mercy repeatedly.
Lin Yi ignored them, only offering his gentlest smile to the cameras of the reporters and media personnel who rushed over after hearing the commotion.
"Hello, fellow journalists and viewers watching on television!"
"My name is Lin Yi, a current martial artist at the Limit Martial Arts Academy. I have been commissioned by the Suchile family and the Bolenas family to investigate the missing laser cannon, a dangerous and lethal weapon..."
After thorough investigation, I have confirmed that it is indeed the High War God before me, Mr. Vulture Li Yao, who stole laser cannon components from both families. He is now apprehended and handed over to the authorities for trial!
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the reporters surrounding him immediately erupted in uproar.
Whether it's the two major families, the "Laser Cannon," or Li Yao, the high-level war god, every word is full of topics and news material that would normally be unattainable. Now that it's presented to them like this, how could it not drive them crazy?
As for right and wrong, that's none of their business.
Flashes, cameras... all were pointed at Li Yao and snapped away.
Li Yao's face was ashen; he knew he was finished.
Lin Yi cleverly pinned the laser cannon entirely on his head, and those two major families, in order to extricate themselves, would inevitably try their best to trample on him.
Laser cannons are strategic weapons and are under strict surveillance. Any individual who dares to handle them and use them to attack humans is committing a serious crime.
Even if Li Yao is a high-level war god, he will not have an easy time.
Moreover, Li Yao believed that Lin Yi had other tricks up his sleeve and would not stop until he was killed.
News of Vulture Li Yao stealing laser cannons and attacking Lin Yi, fueled by the Sulchile and Bolenas families, swept across Europe in just half an hour.
……
Lin Yi handed Li Yao over to a member of the HR Alliance who had arrived and detained him, and then took Vinina and Sayya back to Jiangnan Base City.
"Master...Master...behind you!" Vinina covered her mouth, pointing behind her in shock.
"Um?"
Lin Yi turned to look behind him.
A man with short black hair, wearing a black jacket and black trousers appeared behind him at some point.
The starry sky seemed to be obscured by him, and his gaze made it impossible for anyone to have the slightest thought of resistance, like a god looking down on the human world!
"First Speaker!"
"Greetings, First Speaker!"
Vinina and Sayya quickly broke free from Lin Yi's arms and bowed respectfully to Hong.
The newcomer was none other than Hong! The world's strongest individual, the First Speaker of the War God Palace! The undisputed number one in the world!
Lin Yi, with a serious expression, nodded slightly. "Greetings, Speaker Hong!"
Hong sized up Lin Yi, especially lingering for a while on the wings formed by the Life-Eating Vine, his tone indifferent yet with a hint of a smile.
"Come with me."
With a wave of his hand, a prehistoric fighter jet, brimming with futuristic sci-fi aesthetics, broke through the clouds and appeared before the crowd.
Swish~!
The heavy metal hatch opened, and Hong led the way inside.
Lin Yi gestured to the two women and followed them.
Vinina and Sayya stood obediently outside the prehistoric fighter jet, their beautiful eyes filled with disbelief!
"Cousin, did I just see Speaker Hong?"
"I saw Speaker Hong in person?!"
Hong and Sayueya had seen each other on TV many times, but this was the first time they had met each other so closely in real life.
Vinina was better off than Sayueya. She had seen Hong many times in the virtual War God Palace, but this was the first time she had met him in real life.
"Speaker Hong seems to value Lin Yi highly, treating him as an equal."
Vinina recalled Hong's actions just now; it seemed as if Hong had made an invitation!
This discovery made Vinina involuntarily clench her legs.
Hong is the number one person on Earth, and apart from the Second Chancellor Thor, no one else can treat him as an equal.
Even the other three speakers were very reserved in front of Hong, and Hong treated the other three speakers with indifference.
Lin Yi actually got Speaker Hong to treat him as an equal... No wonder he was able to withstand the laser cannon!
No wonder even a high-ranking war god was powerless against him... Lin Yi is the Speaker!
……
Hong and Lin Yi sat down.
"Lin Yi, a member of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City, was recruited into the Extreme Martial Arts Academy by Zhuge Tao with an S-level agreement half a month ago..."
Hong recounted Lin Yi's information.
There's an inherent air of superiority about him, and indeed, from the Great Nirvana era to the present, Hong's strength and status have always been undisputedly supreme! If the power of presidents and other figures in powerful nations comes from the backing of their entire country, then Hong's status and power come from himself! He alone is equivalent to a powerful nation, or even more powerful!
"Lin Yi, I appoint you as the Inspector of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy," Hong suddenly said.
"Inspector General?" Lin Yi was taken aback, then a hint of joy appeared on his face.
[Your talent and strength have been recognized, your status has been elevated, and you have gained 1400 points of luck!]
