Chapter 232: Chapter 210: Breaking into the Municipal Building

Audrey looked at Li Chen, her heart full of deers running amok.

On Li Chen’s side, he simply lit a cigarette and walked forward with an indifferent air.

The police officers, watching Li Chen approach, dared not move at all.

Li Chen completely ignored the police officers, and the people in the black sedans, upon seeing Li Chen, had a frenzied look flash in their eyes.

These individuals were members of the Palace of the Nether King, consolidated recently by Chu Pojun and the Five Commanders. They had always stayed close to Li Chen, ready to be summoned at any moment. Should Li Chen face any danger, they would be the first to rush out.

Watching Li Chen completely ignore him and walk towards the outside, the chief of police actually felt relieved. He was now grateful that this guy chose to leave directly.

However, things did not go as he wished. As Li Chen walked, he suddenly stopped and looked at the chief of police, causing a surge of tension in the latter’s heart.

"Next time, you won’t be so lucky," Li Chen said indifferently before leaving.

The burly men coldly glanced at the police before packing up their tools and leaving with Li Chen and the others.

Only after all the black sedans had departed did the chief of police’s hanging heart finally settle, and at that moment, he realized that his back was soaked through.

...

Upon arriving at the next safe house, Li Chen walked straight in. The real estate owned by the Palace of the Nether King was countless, and it could be said that every city in North America had its own property.

Just then, a member of The Dark Division following Li Chen received a piece of information and respectfully said to Li Chen, "Master, we have found some clues."

"Whose?"

"Ghost King’s."

Li Chen’s hand twitched slightly, and his eyes became even colder.

"Ghost King has an underling named Mason, who knows Ghost King’s exact location. We have now obtained his information."

Mason, Li Chen murmured the name to himself, then led his men straight to the Mayoral Mansion.

Anything related to Ghost King, he had to involve himself personally!

Only Ning Wangyang accompanied Li Chen, with Ye Tu, Catherine, and others heading elsewhere to dig for information.

However, they also directly dispatched a part of their force to the Mayoral Mansion.

For a moment, the power of the Palace of the Nether King gravitated towards the city hall.

At that moment, in the city hall.

"Useless!" a bald man in a suit exploded in rage, glaring at the police chief in front of him, "Do you still want your job? You’ve been trying so long and haven’t caught a single person? What am I feeding you for?"

The police chief felt quite aggrieved. From the first day Li Chen arrived in Vancouver, he had received information and subsequently arranged for his men to capture Li Chen, but, to his surprise, not only had they failed to capture Li Chen, but Winchester Prison had also been breached.

This was a loss of face for anyone.

Moreover, the police chief also felt helpless. He was only responsible for setting the overall policy for such matters, while the execution was done by his subordinates. He could not understand why so many people could not capture a single individual.

"I’ll tell you, I’ll give you another week. If you don’t catch him within a week, I’ll remove you from your position as police chief!" the mayor shouted furiously.

The police chief immediately stood up straight and put his feet together, "Yes!"

"Enough, stop putting on a show for me." At this moment, a man with white hair sitting in the mayor’s seat shook his head. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip by himself.

"I just want to see the person, dead or alive. As for your methods, I don’t care," said Mason casually. "The deadline I gave you is also approaching. If I don’t see him, the Ghost King will withdraw his funding for your city government, and you won’t be re-elected next term."

Upon hearing this, the mayor broke out in a cold sweat and hastily assured him, "Please relay to Ghost King to rest assured, it’s just one person, I will surely catch him. Just beg him to grant some more time."

Mason shook his head, "I don’t dare tell him that. The Ghost King is also furious. If I speak up, he might take it out on me. You better get a move on."

The police chief stood there, listening to the conversation between the two, not daring to make a sound.

After the mayor said "yes" several times, he then turned to the police chief and shouted angrily, "What are you still doing here? Go catch him!"

The police chief’s face showed his grievances, thinking, Why take your frustrations out on me?

Just then, a police officer ran into the room in a panic.

"What’s the panic for, how have I taught you all this time?" The police chief glared at his subordinate, also losing his temper and slapping the man across the face, leaving the officer dazed.

The police chief felt much better inside and loudly ordered, "Go catch him, what are you dawdling for?"

The police officer, somewhat timid, said quietly, "Our surveillance has detected that the target is heading towards the city government office."

He’s coming to us?

The mayor was startled but then laughed heartily, "That’s fantastic, just catch him when he shows up. I didn’t expect him to deliver himself to our doorstep."

"It’ll be my pleasure to relay to Ghost King that I caught him," the mayor said to Mason with a sycophantic smile.

Mason smiled, "If you catch him, everything can be discussed."

Mason didn’t care much; he had joined the Ghost King right after the Ghost King betrayed Li Chen. Therefore, he didn’t know much about Li Chen. Although he was aware of the title of the King of the Netherworld, having followed the Ghost King in taking down the Palace of the Nether King and driving their people away, any respect for the King of the Netherworld had long since dissipated. He merely thought of the King of the Netherworld as someone of empty fame.

Now that Li Chen was heading their way, Mason felt a sense of relief capture him; catching this person would allow him to accomplish his mission.

The Chief of Police instructed the officer to go down and prepare for the capture, but the officer seemed to have something to say, stammering hesitantly.

"Spit it out if you have something to say, how do I usually teach you?" the Chief of Police said loudly.

"The target’s strength is somewhat beyond our imagination, and he’s brought a group of people with him," the officer said quietly.

"What is there to be afraid of? We’ll riddle him with bullets," replied the Chief of Police.

The officer had no more to say and had to go down.

The Chief of Police turned around, only to be met by the cold voice of the Mayor: "You go down as well."

The Chief of Police was stunned, but catching the Mayor’s stern glare, he hurriedly scuttled off.

"Later, speak well of me in front of the Ghost King, and our cooperation will be even more pleasant," the Mayor said with a chuckle.

"Naturally, that’s no problem," Mason replied with a smile.

But not much later, the officer from before came rushing in again, panicked, and this time, the Chief of Police shared his alarm.

"What’s going on? How do I usually teach you?" the Mayor roared in anger.

"Mayor, he... he’s broken in," the officer uttered.

Broken in?

Seeing the panicked look in the eyes of the officer and the Chief of Police, the Mayor suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

At this, even Mason frowned, thinking to himself, could it be that the other party actually managed to force their way into the Mayoral Mansion?

To consider, the Mayoral Mansion is one of the most important places in a city, with terrifying amounts of the garrisoned force. The other party actually managed to break in?

"What did you say?" the Mayor asked incredulously, grabbing the Chief of Police by the collar and yelling.

"It’s... what he said," the Chief of Police, uncomfortable from being grabbed, hurriedly explained.

The Mayor let go of the Chief of Police and instead grabbed the officer, who quickly told him, "It’s true, they broke in, and we couldn’t hold them back."

At this, the Mayor was completely dumbfounded.

How could this be, why was it different from what he had anticipated?

"Quick, check the surveillance!" the Mayor said urgently.

The Chief of Police led the Mayor to look at the surveillance of the Mayoral Mansion, and Mason, feeling tense, quickly followed the two.

Meanwhile, on Li Chen’s end, the group from the Palace of the Nether King fought like madmen, slaughtering all the police officers in front of the Mayoral Mansion.

The Five Commander and the soldiers sent by Chu Pojun wore grim faces, terrifying the remaining staff of the Mayoral Mansion as they watched these people crash in like Demon Gods, not daring to move a muscle.

"Who are you?" someone gathered the courage to step forward to intervene, "This is the Mayoral Mansion, you..."

The words were never finished, as a person swiftly drew his blade, severing the head of the speaker.

"Ah!"

This scene terrified the rest of the staff, who frantically retreated.

Li Chen asked indifferently, "Which floor is the Mayor on?"

"Te... tenth floor," the petrified staff members replied, and upon getting the answer, the group immediately headed for the tenth floor.

At that moment, a large number of armed police officers, carrying riot shields, charged down from the upper floors.

"I’ve recently grasped a new Sword Technique, would you like to see it?" Ning Wangyang said to Li Chen, observing the officers.

"Sure," Li Chen replied.

Waves rippled from the Scabbard on Ning Wangyang’s back, emitting sounds similar to the hum of swords. Then, like a bolt of lightning in the night, he moved and instantly disappeared into the crowd of police officers.

Subsequently, the flash of sword light and screams ensued, and when Ning Wangyang appeared behind the officers, the corridor was littered with their fallen bodies.

Each one was killed with a single, precise strike!

Those from the Palace of the Nether King looked at Ning Wangyang with admiration and respect in their eyes. Ning Wangyang, as a Third Emissary, rarely made a move, but whenever he did, it was always shockingly effective.

Li Chen nodded inwardly; Ning Wangyang’s Swordsmanship had improved again—he was truly a genius in the field of sword arts.

The group pressed on, and to prevent the Mayor from escaping, they split into several teams, some taking the stairs and others the elevator, effectively blocking all possible exits.

Watching the group advancing upwards, the Mayor started to tremble, and the Chief of Police wiped away his cold sweat, wondering why he hadn’t been informed earlier about how frightening these people were. If he had known, he would have resigned immediately.

"There’s no issue, we’ve already called in reinforcements on other floors," the Chief of Police said, but his voice faltered, unable to finish his sentence the next moment.
