LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 648 - 407: Another Update
Chapter 648: Chapter 407: Another Update
Watching the steadily increasing comments and a few major topics that heatedly dominated the discussion, Nie Hailong furrowed his brows, unsure of how to proceed.
In terms of the overall situation, it wouldn’t matter much if dozens, even hundreds of people died, or if the entire Antai Group were wiped out; the Federation had the capacity to minimize the impact.
As long as the bigger picture remained undisturbed and social order stable, these were minor issues for the federal agencies.
But now…
A live broadcast, a single video, had exposed the incident to the public eye and put it at the center of a storm, even bringing up extraordinary powers such as “Martial Arts” and “True Qi.”
What impact, what shock would this have on social order, on the overall situation?
Could it trigger a passionate craze for the Martial Path?
What’s more, the Federation’s strategic blueprint, the tacit indulgence of martial artists and superhumans, and other things not fit for the public eye, were now all thrust into the spotlight because of him.
With this incident out in the open, how would the Federation maintain its credibility, how to explain, how to extricate itself?
Just thinking about it gave Nie Hailong an enormous headache.
And they still had no solution at hand; judging by the current performance of the other party, arresting or stopping him seemed impractical, at least beyond the capabilities of the Longhai Security Bureau.
So, what to do?
Nie Hailong fell into silence.
His assistant carried on with their duties at his side.
“We’ve already contacted the official team at Site X, but they say they can’t control it. The servers have been shut down, yet the video remains. They’re completely unable to operate.”
“Not just Site X, but all major video websites and online platforms. The video is now spreading to every corner.”
“The online world is in complete uproar. Just the views on Site X have broken through the ten billion mark. It won’t be long before everyone knows!”
“Unless we shut down the network across the entire region or even the whole of Blue Star, we simply can’t contain the spread.”
Listening to the assistant’s report, Nie Hailong was even more silent, and after a long time, he finally moved his hand, clicking on the avatar “Temple of War God·Martial Frenzied Rascal” to send a private message, “Hello, I am Nie Hailong, the Director of the Federation Security Bureau’s Longhai Sub-bureau. About this matter, could we have a discussion…”
“…”
Watching Nie Hailong promptly seeking a truce left his assistant speechless, who wryly said, “He must be receiving countless messages like this by now; I doubt he’ll reply to us.”
“A drowning man will clutch at a straw.”
Nie Hailong shook his head and sent the private message.
Afterwards…
There was no reply to the private message, but a notification popped up on the screen.
Update alert!
Nie Hailong’s gaze sharpened, he refreshed the page, and sure enough, a new video appeared in the column.
“Damn!”
“So fast?”
“An update just like that.”
Not just Nie Hailong, others also noticed this situation, and soon various comments filled the video interface.
Nie Hailong’s expression darkened, he blocked the comments, and watched the video again.
“Whoosh!”
The sound of the night wind whooshed past, and a brightly lit villa came into view as the opening scene.
There was even a close-up on the nameplate.
Number 27, Jiangnan Residential District… Chen Residence!
Chen Antai!!!
Nie Hailong’s gaze sharpened, he gripped the tablet tightly, then relaxed his hold.
Was it really going to happen like this?
Inside the villa, lights shone brightly, laughter filled the air, as if a banquet was underway.
But now, they were about to welcome an unexpected visitor.
A robust figure, a terrifying shadow, making his way to the villa estate.
“Sir, this is private property…”
“Bang!!!”
The security personnel stationed at the door, seeing the approaching figure in such a state, hurriedly tried to stop him, but were sent flying with a punch, crashing into the manor and causing a burst of alarm.
“Who is this person!”
“What’s going on?”
Guests scattered in panic as a group of people rushed out urgently, and before they could grasp the situation, they were hit by a blast of fierce wind.
“Whoosh!!!”
The fierce punch wind bore down on them, and the leading middle-aged man had no time to react before he was blown away by a heavy punch, smashing into the villa behind, his life or death unknown.
“That is…”
“Chen Antai’s eldest son!”
“The president of Antai Group!”
“Damn it!”
Inside the live broadcast room, everyone exclaimed in shock.
Looking back at the scene, the intruder was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, knocking all the security personnel to the ground.
It couldn’t even be described as a fight, only with the word “bombardment,” as his heavy fists struck like cannons, causing injury with a mere brush and death upon impact.
Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, unstoppable!
In an instant, the manor party and the villa night banquet had turned into a bloody battlefield.
“Stop!”
A thunderous shout resonated through the air, and a figure leaped out, delivering a palm strike from afar.
“Bang!!!”
The Gang Qi formed a forceful strike, lashing out across the air and shaking upon impact with the intruder, causing a loud boom.
However, it was just a loud noise that echoed; the intruder’s body was as steady as a mountain, impossible to shake, and he took the full brunt of the Gang Qi palm strike without a hint of stepping back.
Not only did he not retreat, but he also retaliated with a punch, sending out a fierce dragon strike towards the approaching figure.
“Bang!!!”
When fist met palm, there was a heavy, dull sound, and the approaching figure somersaulted back, landing around thirty feet away, revealing his clear features.
It was an energetic old man with white hair and beard.
“Chen Antai!”
“The Longhai Skyhawk King!”
“As expected, this old undying one!”
“This old fellow, he has mastered Gang Qi.”
Witnessing this scene, several people watching secretly in the live broadcast room were also deeply shocked.
However shocked they were, it was not as great as Chen Antai’s surprise at that moment.
Having just landed and retreated a few steps to steady himself, Chen Antai, while directing his Gang Qi to alleviate the pain in his right arm, looked at the intruder with a mix of shock and suspicion, asking, “I do not know who you are, sir. What brings you to my doorstep late at night to commit such a massacre? Has my Chen family offended you in any way?”
His words were full of probing, voiced with shock.
“Evil deeds will eventually bring about one’s downfall. Chen Antai, your evil has accumulated; tonight is the time for retribution!”
The intruder looked on coldly, not responding at all, but instead continued his relentless assault, “Prepare to meet your end!”
“Hmm!?”
Chen Antai’s pupils contracted and his heart raced, knowing that there was no chance for a good outcome; he had to brace himself and said, “Hmph, making an act out of nothing. With just a bit of brute strength, you wish to take the life of me, Chen Antai? Isn’t that a bit too arrogant and conceited…”
“Pfff!!!”
Before he could finish speaking, there was an explosion, and his tight black shirt burst open. As fragments of fabric flew everywhere, a muscular body emerged, resembling undulating hills and intertwining dragons and snakes, exuding a sense of power and oppression.
“…”
“…”
“…”
In an instant, silence befell the four directions, stunning the entire assembly.
The intruder, however, was unconcerned, his robust body surging forward like a Demon God rising from the abyss, pressing towards his opponent.
“Come!!!”
