“Kid, are you the one attempting murder? Why aren’t you running?” Captain Lee, accompanied by a group of people, approached Robin Bailey and raised an eyebrow, questioning.
“It’s him, he pushed us into the river and almost killed us,” pointed out a guy with yellow hair, referring to Robin Bailey.
“Yeah, that’s right, we almost died because of him.”
“This guy doesn’t look like a good person at all,” exclaimed two others.
However, Robin Bailey remained kneeling, showing no reaction.
This irritated Captain Lee, who angrily demanded, “Kid, what do you mean? Stand up and speak! Do you know who I am? Dare to ignore me!”
Clang.
Captain Lee drew his gun and pointed it at Robin Bailey, threatening, “Kid, I told you to speak. Otherwise, believe me, I will shoot you.”
But Robin Bailey still showed no response.
This enraged Captain Lee completely.
He wanted to walk over and use the gun to intimidate Robin Bailey by aiming at his head. However, a city official interrupted, “Captain, someone is coming over. Should we chase him away?”
Such matters were best kept away from public eyes.
Captain Lee turned to the approaching person and scolded the city official who suggested chasing him away, “Get lost! Do you know who he is? Dudley, the secretary of the mayor, the chief secretary, his trusted aide! How dare you chase him away!”
He was very angry.
Because he truly knew this person, Dudley. If he only had this identity, perhaps he wouldn’t be so fearful. The key was that this person was the mayor’s secretary, the chief of police!
A big shot in Yushan City.
Definitely not someone like him.
So, he was afraid of Dudley. If Dudley said something to the chief, he would be done for.
When Dudley approached, Captain Lee shouted repeatedly, “Dudley, we are here to siege a criminal, an attempted murderer. You better not come closer, lest this criminal harms you!”
Criminal!
Upon hearing this, Dudley’s eyes widened in anger.
How dare you call him a criminal!
Have you lost your mind?
He quickened his pace and approached, and Captain Lee, seeing him insisting on coming over, reluctantly lowered his head and smiled, “Dudley, this criminal is really dangerous. He attempted murder, and we came after receiving a report.”
However, crack.
Dudley slapped Captain Lee across the face.
“Criminal?”
Dudley’s eyes were full of anger!
Another slap followed.
Dudley struck Captain Lee again.
“Attempted murder?”
This person commits murder and even attempts it?
Another slap followed!
Crack!
Very loud!
“Reporting? Since when do you guys have a say on police matters.”
Dudley said in anger.
Captain Lee felt the fury but dared not speak out. He was even stunned by the continuous slaps, with no mercy. His face had turned into a mess after several hits.
The point was, he dared not resist.
He didn’t want to mess with Dudley.
He thought Dudley was angry because their city officials were interfering with police matters. Yet, Dudley’s anger stemmed from something else.
After Dudley finished slapping him, he turned and half-knelt in front of Robin Bailey, bowing with extreme fear, “I am Secretary Dudley, It’s my honor to meet you. These people are accusing you falsely due to our lack of discipline.”
Captain Lee and the others were dumbfounded.
Dudley was half-kneeling before him.
At this moment, Dudley gave them a stern look and said, “You still don’t realize who you have offended. This person’s status surpasses even the chief. The chief himself would kneel before him!”
Higher than the chief!
Even the chief would kneel!
Instantly, Captain Lee and the others turned pale.
Higher than the chief!
What level was that? Even if it was higher by just one or two tiers, that didn’t warrant kneeling. Kneeling was the greatest form of respect in Kisia, signifying submission or acknowledging the other’s superior status.
And for the chief to kneel, the status of that person…
Unimaginable!
Just the thought made their legs weak, and many fell to the ground, eyes filled with despair. Especially Captain Lee, his pale face showing the gravity of the situation.
This was trouble, burning hot magma, not just a mere problem.
My goodness!
They couldn’t afford to offend a mere secretary. And now, to offend someone with a status higher than the chief, beyond comprehension!
However, they didn’t know that this person was also a present-day war god.
Had they known, they would have been petrified.
Meanwhile, Robin Bailey slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing before returning to calm. But in that split second, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts.
As if life and death were no longer in their control!
Then, it disappeared.
Many fell to the ground, breathing heavily, sweat pouring down their bodies.
That feeling, terrifying.
“Yushan City, you disappoint me.” Robin Bailey uttered these words before leaving with the urn tightly held.
After his departure, many people sighed in relief. Yet, those who understood, especially Dudley, knew that trouble was brewing.
He immediately called the chief.
“Chief, big trouble ahead…”
Meanwhile, Robin Bailey, now calm and even smiling, had broken through. Yes, he had broken through from Grandmaster Initial Stage to Middle Stage.
The shortcomings of his childhood were finally compensated today.
His Dao had become more complete.
“Mom, I have broken through again. This time, it was unexpected even for me. Perhaps, it’s due to my improved state of mind. The Shadow Killers dared to come to Kisia, they must have planned it well. There’s bound to be experts among them, perhaps even someone who can match my Middle Stage Grandmaster level. But they might not expect that I have broken through. As a Middle Stage Grandmaster, I can fight even a High Stage Grandmaster.”
Robin Bailey muttered to the urn.
This breakthrough truly took him by surprise.
Shadow Killers were not known to take risks lightly. Coming to Kisia, they must have prepared, likely with a Middle Stage Grandmaster among them. After all, his combat power had been revealed during the South Province battle.
As a Grandmaster Initial Stage, he could fight and defeat a Middle Stage expert.
If faced with a Middle Stage expert, even if he couldn’t win, he could still escape with his skills.
They probably didn’t expect Robin Bailey to advance so quickly to the Middle Stage. It was a pleasant surprise for him.
He was about to face a formidable opponent. And even if he couldn’t defeat him, he had no intention of backing down.
After all, he had just advanced, and his confidence had soared.
This time, Shadow Killers would face a different Robin Bailey, one who was stronger and more determined. And despite the odds, he was ready to confront them head-on.
