Chapter 216: Truth and Fury
"Masked Stranger, can I do an exclusive interview with you?"
"May I ask about your feud with the two families..."
“…”
As soon as the explosion ended, countless people rushed towards Su Xia from inside the TV tower.
Even though glass was still falling from their heads, they still held up their cameras, hoping to get first-hand information.
The city lord Wei Zhong was dead. This was big news that was enough to shock the entire city and shock countless people. Moreover, the scenes of him holding the photographer hostage and finally self-destructing were all filmed.
If the two families did not deal with this matter specifically, Wei Zhong's reputation would be infamous after his death.
"I'm not free right now."
Su Xia refused and pointed to two buildings in the city center: "The person in charge of the Jiang family should be explaining the cause of this incident. You should still have time if you rush over now."
After saying that, he left the TV tower directly and rushed to the Midnight Tavern at a very fast speed.
The time before his eyes passed by little by little, like a death warrant, urging him to keep going.
It's time for lunch.
The system sent another prompt:
[It is detected that your body on Earth is in a state of hunger. Do you want to return to Earth? ]
Su Xia didn't even think about it and just clicked "No".
You won’t die of hunger if you skip a meal.
Those guys in the dormitory stay up late every day, have irregular schedules, and eat three meals a day depending on their mood, but I don’t see any problems with their health.
On the road outside the TV tower, countless cars were queuing up to flee the city center, and the sound of horns rang out from the streets to the end.
Everyone in the car witnessed the explosion.
"Isn't that masked man over there in the central square?"
"Why did you get here?"
"Damn it, what is the car in front doing? Move faster!"
“Ding Di——”
Wherever Su Xia went, panic and death spread, as if he had really become the spokesperson for the god of death.
When he came out of the building, all the horns stopped honking, the whole street became quiet in an instant, and the people in the cars didn't dare to breathe.
In a car at the end of the street, a child less than one year old had just woken up and started crying normally.
The driver's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Stop crying, the masked man is outside!"
When the child heard the words "Masked Stranger", his crying stopped instantly.
Seeing this scene, Su Xia, who was on his way, felt mixed emotions. His reputation among the people was becoming more and more outrageous. If it were in ancient times, someone would probably put his portrait at the door to ward off evil spirits.
After he left, all the media people in the TV tower went out and rushed to the city center with their cameras.
It is only a few kilometers away from the city center and there is no obstruction along the way.
Now everyone is fleeing the city center and no one is driving back.
The two opposite paths form a sharp contrast.
When they arrived at the two buildings, they saw people in the buildings being evacuated in an orderly manner, and everyone's face was filled with joy at having survived the disaster.
Some hugged and cried with their family members waiting outside, while others vowed to start a new life and treat every day from now on as their last.
"We could see that the planes were intact and parked in the central square and surrounding streets."
"The character of the legendary killer, the Masked Stranger, seems to be slightly different from what has been rumored..."
"Today is another peaceful day..."
“…”
Television reporters from all channels started live broadcasts, fearing that their traffic would be diverted away by other channels. Some internet celebrities and self-media also rushed to the scene.
In this chaotic era, the closer to death, the greater the traffic.
The evacuated employees were all waiting for arrangements in the square. Their salaries and benefits were closely related to the two families. Now that such a big thing had happened, many people had learned about the city lord's death from the reports of reporters on the scene, and they all wanted to know what to do in the future.
All the senior executives of the two families who were in charge were killed by Su Xia in the underworld.
Now only Jiang Zhi is left.
"Please don't panic, the incident has passed."
At the front of the central square, a simple temporary podium was set up. Jiang Zhi stood on the stage, facing the confused gazes of countless people.
As Su Xia requested, he cleared his throat, picked up the microphone, and began to explain the cause of the incident.
"This accident was actually a personal grudge. It had nothing to do with our two groups. It was just that some people in power in the group acted on their own will. They also paid the price..."
Jiang Zhi cleverly distanced himself from the matter. He needed to create an image of himself standing in opposition to Wei Zhong, and then throw all the blame on Wei Zhong and others.
Even if the others had doubts, they could not directly refute him.
After all, he is still alive, while the rest are dead, and this is his biggest evidence.
"As the lord of a city, Wei Zhong should have worked for the welfare of the citizens of the entire city. But I believe everyone has seen what he did. In addition to the previous plane incident, there was also the hostage-taking incident inside the TV station..."
Jiang Zhi is worthy of being a publicity man, he knows what ordinary people are thinking very well.
Everyone below understood.
"It turns out this matter has nothing to do with us at all."
"Just a personal vendetta between the masked weirdo and another guy?"
"These people really deserve to die. They have so much money but are still not satisfied. They actually risk losing their heads to do such a thing..."
“…”
At this time, in the Zero Point Tavern, countless people were watching the live broadcast.
The killers had no special channels and only now knew the cause of this battle.
Xue Liegang returned to the pub and ordered a glass of wine on the ground floor. He sat at the bar and his brows gradually furrowed when he heard the words in the report.
The cause of all this was actually because of his apprentice Xue Lin?
“Bang!”
His face looked grim and he slammed the glass in his hand onto the bar.
The sudden sound startled the others.
Normally, many ordinary people come to the first floor to drink, but the area where the battle took place today was too close to the pub, so people hid at home and dared not go out.
Now there is only a group of killers left here, and they naturally all know Xue Lie.
"Boss Xue is angry."
Thinking of the cause of the incident mentioned in the TV report, many people shrank their necks and quietly took a few steps back, fearing that they would be affected by Xue Lie's anger.
"Is Boss Xue going to take action against that traitor?"
"No, tavern members cannot fight in the tavern, even on the ground floor. This is still the territory of the tavern, unless Xue Lin's official membership is revoked..."
The killers in the corner were talking in low voices, occasionally glancing at Xue Lie out of the corner of their eyes, and found that the anger was becoming more and more obvious.
The wine glass in his hand was cracked and made a crackling sound.
Just at this moment, the elevator deep in the first floor suddenly made a sound.
"bite--"
Someone is coming up.
The elevator door slowly opened, and standing in the elevator car was Xue Lin.
His face was calm, holding a glass of red wine, he walked out of the elevator slowly, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him, and slowly walked to the door.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been respectful to Xue Lie in front of the bar, but now he was too lazy to even call him Master and simply ignored him.
In the tavern, the killers' eyes were all focused on Xue Lin.
"It's him."
This was the first time many people formally looked at the shop owner's apprentice.
Even though things have developed to this point, this guy still looks very calm. His mentality is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Further up the first floor, several more elevators came up, packed with official members.
These guys all followed along to watch and see how this thing would turn out.
"Isn't he pretending to be calm?"
"Or does it not matter anymore?"
“…”
Xue Lin's calmness surprised most people.
He was leaning against the door, only one step away from the land outside the tavern, gently shaking the red wine in the glass and looking into the distance, as if waiting for someone.
Everyone knew who he was waiting for, and they were waiting too.
At this moment, Xue Lie turned around abruptly and shouted at Xue Lin: "Look at what you have done!"
His face was filled with anger and his voice was like thunder. After he drank, the whole tavern fell silent.
Xue Lin took a sip of red wine and said calmly: "Teacher, what did I do?"
"You know it clearly in your heart!"
"Can't I do it?" Xue Lin said calmly, "Teacher, when you accepted me as your apprentice, you said that I could do whatever I wanted and you would not interfere with my growth."
"You are making unfounded arguments and have no intention of repenting!"
Xue Lie's temper flared up, and he crushed the wine glass in his hand with a bang. His spiritual energy was surging, and he rolled up his sleeves, apparently wanting to teach this traitor a lesson.
He strode towards Xue Lin, his fists clenched and fire in his eyes.
However, Xue Lin still leaned against the door, without even moving his eyelids, and pointed calmly at the surveillance camera in the corner.
He swirled his red wine and said, "Teacher, official members are not allowed to fight inside the tavern. As the owner, you are very clear about this rule, right?"
"boom--"
Xue Lie threw a punch suddenly, but it didn't hit Xue Lin, but hit the door next to him.
The entire tavern shook as if it had been hit by some ferocious beast.
There was a deep fist mark on the door, and the hinges connecting the door frame broke, and then it collapsed with a loud bang, raising a cloud of dust on the ground.
The members in the tavern were horrified by what they saw, and many of them trembled, spilling the drinks in their glasses.
If this punch hits them, they would probably be forced to reincarnate and start over.
But Xue Lin remained the same and said to Xue Lie: "Teacher, everyone knows this rule, so you should save your energy."
"you……"
Xue Lie's face turned pale, his eyes were tense, and a flame was surging in his chest.
Xue Lin smiled faintly: "Teacher, please say less. If you get angry and get sick, people will probably say that I am an unfilial disciple."
He calculated that Xue Lie would not dare to do anything to him, so he was so unscrupulous.
As long as he's in the tavern, he won't die!
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from a distance.
"It is indeed unfilial."
