Just then, a majestic and solemn voice echoed through the sky.
“What audacity, Master Qin.
A simple phone call, and you’ve stripped the Chief of Police of Donghai City of his office.
I wonder, can you also strip me of my position as Governor?”
Space began to warp, rippling like waves, and then a middle-aged man with an ancient appearance appeared out of thin air.
He was expressionless, radiating an aura of authority from his long years in power, chilling to the bone.
Behind him, numerous imposing figures followed.
Upon seeing this middle-aged man, everyone’s faces showed reverence, bowing in unison: “Greetings, Governor!”
This man was the Governor of Donghai Province, a 68th-grade Yuling Zunzhe, Chen Beiguo!
However, Qiu Bo beside Qin Xian, along with the other Qin family powerhouses, stood expressionlessly, exhibiting blatant disrespect.
They were powerhouses under the Qin family, the Qin family’s retainers.
Although Chen Beiguo was the Governor of Donghai, a high-ranking official with an extraordinary position,
He held no authority over them.
In their eyes, only Qin Xian mattered, and they were fiercely loyal to the Qin family.
They wouldn’t even acknowledge the Regent!
Qiu Bo’s face hardened, Chen Beiguo was a 68th-grade powerhouse, a top expert in the entire human world!
Qin Xian’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he then smiled: “Governor, you’re joking, you are the Governor of a province, a high-ranking official.
To strip you of your position would at least require the Imperial Cardinalate and the Imperial Council to hold a meeting, and even then, it’s the Regent who has the final say.”
He hadn’t expected Chen Beiguo to return so quickly.
Chen Beiguo had left Donghai City to handle the Void Sacrifice incident.
That Void Sacrifice incident, in fact, was part of Qin Xian’s plan.
Qin Xian had sent people to carry out that incident.
The goal was to lure Chen Beiguo away.
Chen Beiguo had served as Governor of Donghai Province for over a decade, with immense prestige.
If he hadn’t left, many things Qin Xian couldn’t have done.
For instance, the current operation to capture Lin Yu, had Chen Beiguo been present, Qin Xian’s side would have barely taken action before Chen Beiguo intervened!
Qin Xian had thought Chen Beiguo would return at least tomorrow or the day after.
He hadn’t expected him to return to Donghai City so suddenly.
But Qin Xian wasn’t overly surprised.
Chen Beiguo was not a simple character.
Or rather, no one who could reach the position of Governor would be a simple character.
They were all heroes of their time!
Now that he had Lin Yu under control, it was a done deal.
Even Chen Beiguo couldn’t stop him…
............
...........
Chen Beiguo stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Qin Xian, his brows slightly furrowed.
Upon learning of the events in Donghai City, he immediately sensed something was amiss, returning promptly.
The Qin family dared to forcibly kill people in the city, there must be something behind this, perhaps some great secret!
Moreover, Donghai City was the recovered territory of Donghai Province, a stronghold of the empire.
With such a significant incident, he naturally had to rush back to take charge.
Looking at the bustling city now reduced to ruins, and the countless dead civilians, Chen Beiguo remained expressionless, but his eyes flashed with anger.
Good heavens, the Qin family, truly audacious and arrogant!
He and the Qin family were not on the same side.
He was promoted by Regent Lu Ji, and was Lu Ji’s close confidant.
He knew that Regent Lu Ji and Prime Minister Qin Ming, these two giants, were constantly vying for power in secret.
Therefore, he rushed back, wanting to see what the Qin family was up to!
Chen Beiguo looked at Lin Yu who was under control, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
A 52nd-grade powerhouse, at this level, he was considered a top-tier expert.
He had been hidden in Donghai City for so many years!
And the Qin family spared no resources in pursuing this individual, there must be an untold secret behind him!
Chen Beiguo said calmly: “This person, is he the Void Believer you mentioned?”
Qin Xian smiled slightly, remaining unfazed, and nodded: “Yes, the Imperial Police Department and the Imperial Conscription Department have been investigating this person for a long time, I have been granted temporary investigation authority.
Governor, do you wish to have a look?”
“No need,” Chen Beiguo said faintly.
The Imperial Police Department and the Imperial Conscription Department were all Qin family people, those documents weren’t just handed out?
It was pointless to dwell on these formalities.
He looked at Lin Yu and said in a deep voice: “However, this is after all the territory of Donghai Province, the Void Believer is my responsibility.
Hand this person over to me, I will handle the aftermath.
As for the orders of the Imperial Police Department and the Imperial Conscription Department, I will explain to Minister Sun and Minister Qin.”
Lin Yu, who had been in despair, felt a flicker of hope upon hearing these words.
If he fell into Chen Beiguo’s hands, perhaps he could still survive!
Qin Xian, upon hearing this, the smile on his face slowly faded.
Chen Beiguo was going to use the authority of the Governor to forcefully seize Lin Yu.
And this, Qin Xian couldn’t really refuse!
After all, this was Donghai Province.
And Chen Beiguo, as Governor, had the right to mobilize anything and anyone within the territory of Donghai Province.
Lin Yu held many secrets, let alone the K77 tragedy.
Just the Secret Source alone, Qin Xian wouldn’t hand Lin Yu over to Chen Beiguo!
If Lin Yu fell into Chen Beiguo’s hands, who knows what other variables might arise…
Qin Xian looked at Lin Yu, who was under control, and the smile slowly returned to his face.
He directly and decisively refused: “No need, Void Believers… they should all be eliminated!
There’s no need for interrogation!”
Qiu Bo beside Qin Xian immediately understood Qin Xian’s intention, directly controlling the flame spear in front of Lin Yu, piercing through his heart!
The terrifying, scorching energy instantly shattered Lin Yu’s life force!
Lin Yu screamed, his face still filled with disbelief, he hadn’t expected to die so suddenly!
He continued to bleed, using every bit of his remaining strength, looking at his adopted son, Lin Feng.
He muttered on the ground: “Live…”.
And then he breathed his last!
No one had expected Qin Xian to act so suddenly, even Chen Beiguo hadn’t reacted!
Qin Xian had actually killed Lin Yu right in front of Chen Beiguo!
Completely disregarding the authority of Chen Beiguo, the Governor!
