First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 255: Seems Like You Don’t Take Me Seriously

......

He Geng, in a daze, spoke mechanically: “Because we didn’t want to return the blade.”

As soon as he said that, He Xianxiong broke out in a cold sweat.

It was over.

They had accounted for everything—except Lu Ding showing up.

They never imagined Lu Ding would pull something like this either.

As his mental state started to collapse, he looked at Lu Ding turning his head toward them.

But said nothing.

Inside the mediation room, the atmosphere turned slightly eerie.

“So, how exactly did you frame Zhu Yixuan?”

Hearing that—

The dejected He Xianxiong couldn’t sit still anymore.

Not returning the blade could be explained. Under ordinary law, that was civil—there was room for mediation.

Worst case, they’d return the heirloom and drop it.

But if the framing got exposed—

That wouldn’t be civil anymore.

It would be criminal.

Framing a 749 investigator, and someone ended up dead.

That...

No!

He couldn’t let that come out.

He Xianxiong stood again: “This is suspicious!!!”

“The silver needle he used on my son—it’s suspect! This is coercion!!”

“It’s not credible!!”

He didn’t dare lay hands—because Luoyao 749’s Deputy Director Li was still here.

If he dared lay a finger on a 749 investigator in front of this man—

no trial needed, it’d be straight to execution.

His words drew a glance from the Deputy Director.

If it were any other spell or method, He Xianxiong’s protest might’ve been reasonable.

But—

this was one of Yunmeng’s signature techniques.

Li Qianxing replied, “I vouch for the fairness of this method.”

“You still got a problem?”

Meanwhile, in his dazed state, He Geng finally gathered his words again.

This was the one weak point in Lu Ding’s first-time use of the method.

“We drew lots, picked one person...”

“Shut up!!!”

He Xianxiong didn’t have time to think—he attacked immediately.

No choice. If he didn’t act now, once He Geng finished talking,

and with Li Qianxing backing Lu Ding,

it would mean the entire He Family had been part of framing a 749 investigator.

Everyone had drawn lots, discussed it together.

This would drag the whole He Family down!!

Lightning surged in He Xianxiong’s palm—a green thunderball fired straight at his own son!

At that power,

it was definitely a kill shot.

He didn’t want to.

But for the sake of the He Family, he had to.

As the green thunderball flew—

From the palm of Lu Ding’s hand, a brown cube squeezed out from his flesh.

He punched the cube.

Flesh churned, muscles wrapped around it.

Plates of armor and veins coiled tightly around Lu Ding’s arm.

In the blink of an eye—

a savage armored gauntlet formed, covering from fingertips to shoulder.

He raised his hand and caught it.

Gripping the thunderball tightly.

He slowly lifted it before his face, fingers tightening bit by bit.

The green lightning illuminated half his profile: “Seems like you don’t take me seriously.”

Crack.

The thunderball in Lu Ding’s hand couldn’t withstand the force—shattered on the spot.

As he twisted his waist and hips, sending his fist forward with brute strength,

the sheer force and speed rubbed the air into white streaks, flowing through the gauntlet grooves—

a stark contrast to the black spiritual energy instantly filling those transparent veins.

Under that direct visual shock—

it had to be said, He Xianxiong and He Geng were definitely father and son.

Because, in a daze, he too saw his great-grandmother waving at him.

All defense, all techniques, in that moment—became meaningless.

The Sin Dragon leaped through the Dragon Gate, ascended to the Divine Palace, pushed through two sub-realms, and entered Si Ming.

With all those factors stacked—

this punch,

packed a million pounds, hundreds of tons of force!!!

BOOM!!!

He Xianxiong, the mediation room, and several walls beyond it—

were blasted straight through in a single punch.

Turning his head—

From here,

to the square outside,

the gaping holes in the walls aligned perfectly.

Inside the mediation room, two legs remained,

still planted firmly on the ground.

As for the rest—

not even a scrap left.

Deputy Director Li Qianxing’s eye twitched.

Ever since Lu Ding walked in, he’d had a vague sense of discomfort.

Like a thorn on his back.

Standing in front of him, Lu Ding exuded an impenetrable, unshakable pressure.

At that moment, Li Qianxing understood—

Lu Ding’s physical body was terrifying.

Not strong—terrifying.

That’s also why he hadn’t stopped He Xianxiong.

Though he’d suspected Lu Ding’s body was powerful,

he hadn’t expected it to be this monstrous.

After all, he was just a deputy director of a regional city.

Li Qianxing had nothing more to say.

As for Zhu Yixuan and Wen Ruchu—

they stood frozen like wood, stunned speechless.

Lu Ding...

How did he get so strong?

How long had it even been since they’d seen him?

Click, click, click—

the armored gauntlet folded back, transforming into a brown cube that merged into his flesh.

Lu Ding glanced at He Xianxiong’s two legs.

He could’ve avoided dying so soon.

What a shame.

He just had to try a cover-up kill right in front of him.

The man had shoved the provocation right in Lu Ding’s face—how could he not act?

Holding back for the sake of some higher principle would’ve been nonsense.

Given the situation, all he felt was a little regret.

Yan Feifan, having known Lu Ding the longest, picked up on his mood.

He stepped forward and whispered, “Brother Lu, there’s an old guy in the He Family—first-layer Earth Observer Realm. He might give you a good fight.”

Lu Ding’s eyes lit up.

Right!

He kicked the dazed He Geng: “Keep talking!”

He Geng rattled off the whole story from beginning to end.

Zhu Yixuan listened, chest rising and falling, breathing heavily.

He knew people could be cruel, and he’d always been cautious.

But who would expect someone to frame you with a life on first meeting?

There hadn’t even been any conflict—no face-off.

This time,

Zhu Yixuan and Wen Ruchu were like brides riding to the wedding—

their first experience.

Thinking about it, weren’t they both just greenhouse flowers?

Aristocratic children might understand people,

but most knew nothing of combat’s brutality.

As for genius investigators like them—

they knew the world was unpredictable, that fate and misfortune could strike anytime.

But they still couldn’t see through people.

In comparison—Lu Ding had the best of both worlds,

no weaknesses!!

Turning around, he looked at Luoyao 749’s Deputy Director: “Sir, what do you think?”

Lu Ding gestured toward the dazed He Geng.

Doing business on someone else’s turf—he gave both face and substance to Luoyao 749.

Deputy Director Li had nothing but satisfaction.

Smiling, he spoke:

“The He Family framed a 749 Special Investigator with a man’s life. All involved must be arrested.”

“Due to Luoyao 749’s manpower shortage, we temporarily assign Lu Ding, Yan Feifan, and involved parties Zhu Yixuan and Wen Ruchu to assist in enforcement.”

“All operations will be under the full command of Yunhai 749’s official investigator Lu Ding. I’ll support from the side, as I’m busy with other duties.”

Lu Ding gave face and substance.

Li Qianxing would do the same.

He’d heard what Yan Feifan said earlier.

A Si Ming vs. Earth Observer—rare. Worth watching.

If that old fossil from the He Family refused to comply…

they really might witness something special today.
