Chapter 2284 Let’s Get Some Excitement!

The high-speed rails were a public facility to help shuttles increase their speed and save their fuel.

While shuttles could fly in any directions freely, it had a huge consumption on the fuel. Also, when their speed was very high, particularly when they surpassed the speed of sound, accidents tended to happen too.

If hundreds of shuttles were soaring at the speed of sound, and two of them accidentally hit each other, there would certainly be dire consequences.

Therefore, in the “high zone” at the suburbs of the major cities of the Imperium of True Human Beings, convenient rails had been established, which could attract the shuttles to themselves with the electromagnetic force so that the shuttles could fly next to the rail. In such a way, the fuel could be saved, and the security could be greatly enhanced.

At this moment, a black, lengthened, extravagant shuttle was rushing on the rail toward the heavy industrial area at the suburb, surrounded by four fully-armed shuttles that had even exposed the cannons to the air, not disguising their highest alert at all.

At the backseat of this extravagant shuttle sat the president of the Industry Union of the West Coast, who controlled the lifelines of dozens of magical equipment corporations on the west coast. He was from the Dongfang family too.

Over the past half month, a large batch of bureaucrats and magnates had been secretly arrested, which raised the wariness of the Dongfang family. The bodyguard team of the president of the Industry Union had been fully upgraded too. Not only were the high-level agents of the Association of Demon Hunters sitting right next to him, but tremendous experts had also been summoned from the family. Furthermore, he had even hired assassins and killers from the underground world of the capital with his own money. The spacious extravagant shuttle was now crammed with people.

It seemed to be protected by only four shuttles around, but dozens of regular shuttles in a large range were actually also full of special agents, family experts, assassins, and killers. Many of them had already been armed to teeth and could rip the shuttles and unleash their toughest techniques at any moment.

Hundreds of pairs of eagle-like eyes stared at all directions.

Right then—

Theirs was not the only high-speed rail; there were dozens of such rails up, down, left, and right, like dozens of lanes. Four of the rails were specially designed for super-heavy trucks weighing more than fifty tons.

Right then, four trucks in different camouflages passed by the extravagant team of shuttles.

Those four trucks all weighed more than eighty tons. Their cars were so long that they were almost like crystal trains.

Without anybody knowing it, the four trucks moved on parallel with the team of shuttles and adjusted to the same speed. They seemed relatively still.

The experienced bodyguards immediately sensed danger and ordered the team to speed up.

However, the four trucks kept up with them at an unbelievable speed and stability!

The few shuttles in the front and the rear intended to scan the interior of the trucks with mystic rays, but the rays were all reflected back as if they had hit mirrors. Something was definitely greatly wrong!

“Open fire!”

The leader of the bodyguards made the call immediately. Having no time to bother if somebody would be accidentally hurt, he gave the order resolutely.

But before the bodyguards pulled the triggers, the rail before the shuttle team suddenly exploded and broke apart. Two bodyguard shuttles immediately went out of control and flew away!

In the meantime, dazzling electric arcs were unleashed among the four trucks and interconnected into a complicated web of electricity, with countless rune arrays and spiritual stripes glittering in it crazily. It was obviously an extremely brutal array!

Further away, the cars of two of the trucks opened their ceilings and extended glittering bowls that emitted intensive interferential waves, blocking the shuttle team’s distress calls!

Huala! Huala! Huala!

The cars of the four heavy trucks exploded, and a hundred devil huntresses that belonged to the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils charged out.

The long-prepared elite bodyguards broke the shuttles and ran at the devil huntresses too.

A high-speed, heated battle immediately began.

The demon hunters who were out of the range of interference in case of accidents sent out the distress calls immediately to the branch of the Association of Demon Hunters in White Stone Municipality.

Countless demon hunters and elites of the Dongfang family immediately leaped from the downtown area and rushed to the suburb, swearing to capture all the bold and blatant devil huntresses!

Everything that happened was captured clearly by the hundred stealth crystal cameras floating in the stratosphere.

The hundred stealth cameras were all the products of Li Yao’s lifelong knowledge. While maintaining the previous stealth and anti-detection abilities, the range of scanning, the precision, and the distance of signal transmission were all five times better than before.

With the hundred stealth crystal cameras, as well as the spies of the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils and the reformists that were sent to White Stone Municipality a long time ago, Li Yao was able to grasp every detail of the whole battlefield.

The picture from the suburb, through the transmission of encrypted signals, immediately darted to the crowded central business district of White Stone Municipality.

On the thirty-sixth floor of a transparent plaza in the district, in the middle of the office of a seemingly plain business group, thousands of 3D light beams had drowned the small room. Most of the 3D light beams were displaying the pictures taken by the tremendous surveillance cameras of White Stone Municipality. The crystal processor specialists of the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils had found a way to hack the public security platform of the city and intercepted all the surveillance pictures.

Plus the secret crystal cameras of Li Yao and the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils, the whole city was now naked before Li Yao.

Lying on the ergonomic chair comfortably, Li Yao set it to the relaxation pattern and put his hands below his head as a pillow, his eyes half narrowed as if he were drowsy.

But deep inside his brain, he was inferring what was about to happen again and again to ensure that every procedure was perfect, every flaw had been erased in advance, and every detail was accurate!

The sudden assault at the suburb seemed to be failing.

The scale of the bodyguard team far exceeded their expectation. The reinforcements from downtown came very fast too. This arrest operation was neither sudden nor secret.

However, there was still nothing but tranquility in Li Yao’s eyes, as if he were more interested in the sugar beans made of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the table.

Most of the surveillance pictures around him, on the other hand, were not focused on the fierce battle in the suburb but on a luxury hotel in the downtown not far away from here.

Today, a meeting hosted by the mayor of the White Stone Municipality was to be held in the luxury hotel.

Yes, the “secret arrest” targeting the president of the Industry Union was just a distraction. Their real goal was the mayor of the White Stone Municipality!

White Stone Municipality was a super metropolis that ranked the top ten in the Empyreal Terminus Sector. The industrial city, especially with the production of crystal suits, was famous nationwide. A dozen crystal suit centers had set up their headquarters and the most important production bases in the place.

It was not hard to imagine how important the mayor of White Stone Municipality was.

If such an important person was caught, it would definitely be a serious blow to the Dongfang family, which would plant more doubt in the hearts of the Yun family, the Song family, and other wavering nobles.

Right now, a large batch of advanced agents of the White Stone branch of the Association of Demon Hunters had gone to the suburb, and the real arrest team of the Tribunal of Extraterrestrial Devils had taken position around the luxury hotel. The operation would begin in half a minute.

Everything seemed to be under control.

There were twenty-five seconds to go.

Li Yao suddenly sat straight and stared at the seemingly peaceful light beams. Holding a sugar bean in his hand for a long time, he did not swallow it.

Twenty seconds remaining.

“Hawk ready!”

“Mole ready!”

“Tiger ready!”

The voices of the battle squads of the devil huntresses echoed in his ears.

Li Yao rolled his eyes crazily, and a drop of cold sweat leaked out of his forehead.

Fifteen seconds to go.

“General Yue.”

Holding his earlobe, Li Yao said, “Although I am only here to help you control the surveillance magical equipment, and it is inappropriate for me to meddle in your operation, I strongly suggest you abort all the operations and retreat as fast as possible!

“No, I haven’t discovered any anomalies, but something just doesn’t feel right. Trust me, ‘Vulture Li Yao’ did not become the best specialist of running in the entire Imperium for nothing!

“Do not take action and retreat immediately. I repeat, retreat. Do not take action and retreat immediately. Whatever you say, I’m out of here!”

After saying that, instead of waiting for Yue Wushuang’s reply, he simply took out the communication chips in his ears and every device on his body that could release signals, pinching all of them into pieces, before he activated the time bomb in the office. Then, he finally whistled and walked out with his hands in his pockets.

He did not take the lift. After all, with his speed, taking the emergent exit was as fast as leaving with the lift.

When he left the plaza, he had already become a businessman wearing fashionable clothes and picking a suitcase while he joined the crowd on the street.

Shua!

Li Yao opened all his senses. The jam-packed business district completely fell into stillness before his eyes. Every expression and every movement of the passers-by were caught by him.

Soon, he detected seven guys under stealth mode in the crowd.

It was almost as easy as identifying seven colorful figures on a monochrome picture.

Smiling, Li Yao squeezed through the seven of them. His gesture, posture, and the micro-expression on his face all suggested that he was a businessman completely dedicated to his work.

He even passed right next to a demon hunter, and yet the guy felt nothing abnormal at all.

This is too easy and unchallenging. I might as well go home and take a sleep.

Li Yao recalled the excitement when he was chased and blocked by Guo Chunfeng and his Secret Sword Bureau years ago. That was what life should be about. So, being too strong was certainly a trouble too. Who could understand the loneliness of an expert?

Then, he saw Dongfang Mingyue.

Dongfang Mingyue was sitting at the door of a very lovable dessert shop that was surrounded by colorful decorations and playing with the ice in her juice with the straw. There was nobody on the seat on her opposite side, except for a little cat that seemed as comfortable as her.

She seemed to have completely lost her passion to work because of the hot weather, and she did not even bother to change her plain clothes but simply allowed her black and glamorous long hair to swing in the scorching wind at the same rhythm as the high-heel slippers below her feet.

It was not until Li Yao showed up that she was finally more or less refreshed. After a slight yawn, she picked up the straw with a mouth as if it were a lady’s cigarette and smiled at Li Yao.
