Chapter 318
318 Gift-giving
The moment the police officer pulled out his gun, the iron-faced man and the Child of Fortune noticed it almost at the same time.
The Child of Fortune issued a warning to Xia ping ‘an. As expected of a master in the seven Suns realm, the iron-faced man immediately set up a thick water curtain to protect himself and Xia ping’ an.
Xia Pingan turned around, but the bullet was already shooting toward him.
“Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!”
The crisp sound of gunfire resounded through the street, breaking the order and peace of the street.
As the police officer fired at Xia ping ‘an, he rushed toward her. His face was numb, but there was a hint of ferocity in the numbness.
The policemen shot rune bullets over here instead of common ones. When the rune bullets hit the water curtain Set by the iron-faced man, they exploded into brilliant and hot flames, burning the surrounding air at once.
Right in front of Xia Pingan’s eyes, the copper bullet pierced into the rippling water curtain. It was still spinning at high speed in the water curtain, like an awl, trying to break free from the restraints of the water curtain shield.
In the water, ordinary bullets would float in the blink of an eye and lose all their power. The killing distance of ordinary pistol bullets in the water was less than half a meter. However, the bullets shot by the policeman made the water curtain of the iron-faced man constantly change its shape like deformed jelly. The bullets continued to rush forward unyieldingly in the water.
This was a rune bullet that had been enchanted with fireball and armor-piercing effects.
Even if Xia Pingan was a Summoner in the five or six sun realm, once he was hit by such a bullet, his body would be instantly penetrated and burned by the flames that could melt steel. If he didn’t die, he would be seriously injured.
Xia Pingan’s expression changed slightly.
The iron-faced man slightly stomped his foot. Closely after that, a light flashed under the foot of the policeman, fixing him in place. Then, a huge net made of water rope flew over and trapped him.
The police officer fell to the ground, and the nine bullets in his pistol had just been used up.
The next second, the police officer’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The entire process only took two to three seconds.
The pedestrians on the street ran away in a panic. The other patrolling police and Garrison Corps soldiers were alarmed and all of them rushed over.
The people in the Donggang inspection department were also alarmed. Luo Laojiao was the first one to run out of the guardhouse, followed by long Chao, Situ Hua, and the others.
If someone fired a gun outside the inspector’s office without the notice of the people inside, all the summoners in the inspector’s office would not be able to survive.
The street was in chaos.
Xia Pingan didn’t pay any attention to the people who were rushing over. He reached out and gently took a brass bullet that had stopped from the water curtain in front of him. Then, he turned around and walked into the inspector’s office. When he passed long Chao and the others, he said with a calm expression, ” take the man to the inspector’s office for interrogation.
“It’s Yingluo.”
When long Chao and Situ Hua rushed out of the door, they saw that the ground where Xia Pingan had just been attacked had been melted by the high-temperature fireball. Even a small part of the inspector’s office’s iron door had been melted into molten iron. Both of their faces changed at the same time. The assassin dared to come to the inspection department. How bold.
……
Half an hour later, long Chao, Situ Hua, Hua ziqin, Fan Gang, Fang nu, and the others were all gathered in Xia Pingan’s office. Their faces were filled with worry and anger.
The assassin actually came to the Donggang inspector’s office to assassinate the inspector. This was a humiliation and disregard for all Summoners in the Donggang inspector’s office. If something happened to Xia Pingan at the entrance of the supervision Department, they would become the laughing stock of the ruling Army. The reputation of being good-for-nothing would follow them for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, everyone had a reason to be angry and were waiting for Xia Pingan’s orders. Everyone knew that their inspector was not someone who could bear to suffer losses.
These people did not know that Xia ping ‘an had also encountered a dangerous assassination attempt in the inspection department yesterday. He had almost turned into sand under the black evil Spirit’s poison.
Xia ping ‘an’s expression was so calm that it exceeded the team leaders’ expectations. Xia ping ‘an, who was sitting behind the office desk, was gently turning and playing with a copper bullet in her hand. Her eyes were deep.
Lord, that police officer has already woken up. However, no matter how we interrogated him, he kept complaining that he didn’t know anything. He even asked us why we caught him. I suggest to torture him and use confession medicament on him at once. We have to catch the culprit! Long Chao reported to Xia Pingan angrily.
don’t bother, that police officer is just a puppet controlled by someone. He can’t do anything. Just hand him over to the police! Xia Pingan said calmly.
The person who did it was the dream demon, and the method was the same as controlling Wei Meiyu. The policeman probably didn’t know how the runic bullets in his gun came about.
“Sir, you already know who attacked?” Hua ziqin raised her eyebrows and asked.
yes, I know a little, but I don’t know where that guy is hiding. I’ll let you know if I’m going to take action. Don’t worry about me, I’m fine. Everything in the supervision Department is as usual. Alright, go back to your work. Shangjing has been a little chaotic these days. Arrange two teams to go out and patrol each time. If you encounter Summoners who harass and harm the people, or those who don’t know their place, deal with them strictly!
The team leaders looked at each other and answered with a ” yes ” before leaving Xia Pingan’s office one by one.
……
this can’t be done, Yingluo. after those people had left, the iron-faced man appeared in Xia Pingan’s office and shook his head gently. you can’t always be on guard against everyone around you. If this goes on, even if you don’t die, you’ll probably go crazy. Even I don’t have the ability to maintain a high level of vigilance all the time. If we don’t find the dream demon, you’ll die if you’re careless!
“It doesn’t matter. Let that guy be arrogant for two more days. At worst, I’ll just live in seclusion for a few days and see what he can do!”
Seeing that Xia ping ‘an wasn’t nervous and seemed to be very confident, the iron-faced man didn’t say anything more and went back to his room.
Not long after the iron-faced man left, Wei Meiyu knocked on the door and came in.
“Lord, someone from King Roc auction house is here to give you something?”
“Oh, let the people of King Roc auction house in!”
“Yes!”
A moment later, a man in a black suit, whom Xia Pingan had seen at the auction house, came into the office with a suitcase in his hand. After greeting Xia Pingan, he opened the suitcase and took out a box from it, placing it in front of Xia Pingan.
my Lord, this is the realm Pearl you bought at the VIP auction that night. I’ve brought it to you!
Xia ping ‘an opened the box and saw a realm Pearl that was flashing with a faint red light. The words ” Yan Crown Prince pill ” were flashing in the realm Pearl, and there was also a spiritual will crystal.
This was also an Assassin’s realm Pearl. If it could be fused, it would allow Xia Pingan to summon a level 2 assassin. A level 2 assassin was much more powerful than a level 1 assassin.
This realm Pearl was one that Xia ping ‘an had won at the king Roc auction house that night.
Just by looking at the words on the realm Pearl, Xia ping ‘an knew that this realm Pearl was meant to allow the melding entity to recreate the methods that the Crown Prince pill had used to win over Jing Ke, and to make Jing Ke willing to die in order to assassinate Qin.
The spiritual will crystal that came with the Assassin’s realm Pearl did not appear in the auction that night.
“Only this one?”
“Lord, you bid 40000 gold coins for giant’s realm bead in the auction house that night. After you left, someone bid 42500 gold coins for it. Therefore, you failed to get it!”
okay, I know. I didn’t expect you to pair it with a spiritual will crystal. Thank you. How much is it? ” As Xia Pingan spoke, he was about to take out the gold notes.
“Lady Xuan said this Assassin’s realm bead is King Roc auction house’s gift to you, Lord, you don’t need to pay for it anymore!” The man from King Roc auction house had already stood up and slightly bowed to Xia Pingan again, ” if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave!
“Alright, please send my regards to Madam Xuan!” Xia ping ‘an did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Assassin’s realm Pearl.
Not long after that person left, while Xia ping ‘an was playing with the Assassin’s realm Pearl, Wei Meiyu knocked on the door again and came in to report that a person claimed to have come to deliver something to Xia ping’ an under Lord Lin Yi’s orders.
Xia Pingan let the person in. After that person came in, he directly took out a leather case from his space-teleportation equipment and put it in front of Xia Pingan. After Xia Pingan signed for it, he turned around and left without saying a word.
He opened the leather case. Inside the leather case, there was a total of one million gold notes and ten rare realm pearls. These were the things that Lin Yi had promised to give to Xia ping ‘an, and they had also been delivered today.
“Why are there people lining up to give you realm beads?” The iron-faced man appeared in Xia Pingan’s office. Looking at the realm pearls and gold notes in the box, his eyes were a little red.
Damn it, it was too exciting to be by Xia Pingan’s side. Last night, this guy had just advanced to the five-sun realm, and this morning, there were already people lining up to give him realm beads and gold notes. Was the position of inspector really so good? Why didn’t he know about this before? If every inspector in Shangjing was so well-off, the inspectors of the seven Suns realm would be everywhere in Shangjing.
Xia Pingan smiled and said, ” this is what it means to have a good character, Yingluo. as he spoke, Xia Pingan took out a Gold Note of 100000 gold coins from the box and handed it to the iron-faced man. this is for you. You’ve worked hard these past two days, Yingluo.
Looking at the gold Note of 100000 gold coins-the two small courtyards in Shangjing city-the iron-faced man struggled for a second in his heart. He hesitated between the pride of a powerful man and the glory of the gold Note, but in the end, he wavered,
Before Xia Pingan’s hand could withdraw, the iron-faced man took the gold notes of 100000 gold coins. He struggled for a while and said, ” thank you!
