Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 247 42. Tough confrontation! Intimidating Jiang Cheng! (10,000 words for monthly tickets!)

Hearing his words, the already tense atmosphere at the scene tightened once again.

Jiang Cheng, however, seemed oblivious to this tension. He glanced at Fang Ze, then said, "After their mistake of taking me to the Security Bureau."

"I strongly doubt their competence in handling this case."

"And it's not just the Security Bureau that has the capability to suppress Awakeners. The Federal Defense Team does too."

"Therefore, I request that Qianfeng, Qiu Yue, and the rest be taken away, and the case be transferred to the Federal Defense Team of Emerald City."

The Federal Defense Team is the violent institution tasked with protecting the security of the federation.

Composed entirely of Awakeners who have undergone many years of training.

Unlike the Security Bureau, these Awakeners were powerful Martial Artists who had trained for many years before their Awakening. Their abilities were then uniformly allocated by the federal government and Awakened through the Special Awakening Method.

As such, each person's abilities could amplify or supplement one another.

While these Awakeners may individually be less powerful than ordinary Awakeners, their strength as a group is much greater when their numbers are many.

They are the federation's true trump card, stationed in every major city, directly under the command of the Governing Hall. They are not mobilized unless there is a significant event.

As such, when Jiang Cheng spoke these words, the entire conference room fell silent.

Qingping looked towards Councilor Wu, who had an expressionless face that divulged none of her thoughts.

Gu Qing and Xun Yi both had slightly grim expressions and said nothing more.

As for Bai Zhi....

She wanted to retort, but she opened her mouth only to close it again, apparently unsure of how to counter.

Sweeping his gaze around the room and seeing no one reliable, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile. Then he spoke up, "I'm sorry, Commissioner Jiang. You're just a Municipal Councilor."

"You have the right to meet and discuss with other municipal councilors whether to let the Federal Defense Team intervene. I can't oppose that. But you do not have the authority to take anyone away by bypassing procedures, before a meeting."

"You have no idea what the consequences of angering a noble are, nor do you understand what nobility truly represents."

Having said this, he gestured to Councilor Wu, "Wu, come. Let's go fetch them."

As he finished speaking, the temperature in the conference room dropped, as if it was the third month of winter.

The atmosphere was so heavy that it left people speechless.

Councilor Wu looked around at the others, chuckled as she got up, smoothed out her clothes, then prepared to follow Jiang Cheng out.

But just as they reached the doorway, suddenly, they heard Fang Ze's indifferent voice from behind them, "The consequences of angering a noble?"

"What could the consequences be?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Cheng came to a halt.

Fang Ze retorted, "Piles of corpses a million high? Rivers of blood a thousand miles long? But... what does that have to do with me?"

"Or perhaps, exterminate my nine ranks, kill my three generations?"

"Sorry, both my parents are deceased, and I've yet to have children. I am the last person and last generation of our family. You can't threaten me."

Saying this, Fang Ze laughed,

"It's you, though. Have you ever heard of the consequences of angering an ordinary person?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Jiang Cheng slowly turned around, his eyes coldly fixed on Fang Ze, and asked, "What consequences?"

Fang Ze slowly uttered three phrases, "Two corpses at my feet, five steps awash with blood, mourning under heaven."

As he spoke, Jiang Cheng burst into contemptuous laughter,

"Hahaha. You can kill me? Just with you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you haven't even reached the Fusion stage, right?"

Fang Ze smiled, "That's right. But... do I need to be at the Fusion stage to kill you? I'm enough just being a mere Awakener!"
