Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 197 Rescue Operation
"In the name of the Chief Inspector of the Secret Affairs Bureau of Nutao City of the Golden Shield Empire, I order you to surrender immediately! Otherwise... I will kill you on the spot!"
In the lobby of the Rio Consulate, after the Lookout leader and Pan left, Luke issued a surrender ultimatum to the Lookouts gathered here.
In the fog outside the consulate, the imperial spies carrying mysterious props arrived at their location without encountering any attacks or obstacles. They stood in their respective positions facing the direction of the consulate, and all the spies took out their pocket watches and stared at the time on them.
Outside the fog, sheriffs and imperial spies were divided into different echelons. Under the leadership of their respective captains, they checked their equipment, took buff potions, and made magic preparations. The captains explained the assigned tasks to them in detail. When the attack started, they had to capture the mission point as quickly as possible and not give the kidnappers any chance to harm the hostages.
When Councillor Ibul got the news, he immediately rushed over with a group of newspaper reporters. He also brought many magic painters to record the most exciting moments. In the past two days, his newspaper has been at the forefront of the public opinion war in Nutao City. As the official media of the Innovation Society, he will have all newspapers in the city repost his articles and magic images tomorrow.
Everything is ready, just waiting for the fog to clear.
Inside the lobby of the consulate, the lookouts who received Luke's ultimatum were puzzled.
Isn't His Highness Pan discussing surrender with the leader?
Why is Inspector Meteorite so eager to ask us to surrender!
A prestigious lookout replied to Luke: "Inspector, please wait patiently for the chief's reply regarding our surrender. Stand still at your position, as your dangerous actions will affect the outcome of this negotiation."
Luke walked forward and backward, the Taotie tattoo on his right hand burst into flames, and the Tan Crimson Dragon Spear was summoned in his hand. His right eye showed abnormal changes, lightning and fire intertwined in his pupil, and sparks flashed in the space around him.
Sandpaper floated up, her hair flew, turning from pink to metallic. Tools floated out of the attack bag one by one and gathered around her.
Although Yin didn't know what was going on, she could tell that this was the rhythm of a fight. She formed seals with her hands, chanted the ancient golden language, and drew a golden sword from the golden light in her palms. The ancient golden language continued to chant from Yin's mouth, and pieces of golden light appeared around her. These golden lights condensed into pieces of armor components, and then embedded in her body.
In a flash, Yin transformed into a "Golden Saint", shining with golden light and looking heroic.
When the lookouts saw the scene before them, no matter how dumb they were, they knew that Inspector Meteorite had no intention of negotiating.
The fight is about to begin.
The lookout immediately used secret techniques, trying to control the fog outside from spreading in, but there was no response. Instead, strong light shone in through the windows of the hall.
The burden of detour has been lifted!
The lookouts couldn't believe that this improved secret language, which was blessed by His Majesty Pan using the ancient Golden Language, could be broken so easily. But the facts were in front of them. The sheriffs of Nutao City and the imperial spies who were surrounding them had already launched an attack.
This is a trap...
"Quick, kill all the hostages." the Wind Watcher shouted.
But a dragon roar sounded in the hall, drowning out all other sounds.
Taotie flew out from the back of Luke's hand, and instantly turned into a giant beast in the burst of fire. It flapped its wings and set off a hurricane in the enclosed space. Its body smashed the gorgeous chandelier hanging high up, and after shaking off the glass fragments on its body, it rushed to the top of the heads of the lookouts and spewed hot dragon breath at them.
The sweeping dragon breath caused huge casualties to the lookouts, who were unorganized and each resisted the pressure and attacks released by the Taotie. The fire engulfed the people directly covered, and the high temperature produced explosive airflow, which violently impacted the people around.
The lookouts were overwhelmed by the powerful attack. Without the favorable combat environment created by the weight-bearing Qilu, they were just a group of fighters with a maximum rank of four stars. Taotie exhaled all its dragon breath, roared, and crashed into the middle of the lookouts from the air. It swallowed one person in one gulp, and then slapped another person into a pile of minced meat with one claw, killing them indiscriminately.
Luke held his spear and joined the attack on the lookouts. The tip of the spear was emitting a flaming blade that looked like a dragon's head, and the overflowing fire formed a fiery dragon vortex around him. The lightning struck all the lookouts who wanted to attack him, and at the moment when they were struck and their bodies stiffened, the dragon spear would cut their necks.
Amid the spray of blood, seven or eight lookouts died around Luke in an instant.
There were lookouts who wanted to leave the hall and go out along the right corridor. Luke knew they were going to kill the hostages, so he used the Thunder Fire Eye to push away all the lookouts who were attacking him, and took out his pistol and shot at the lookouts who wanted to leave.
All six bullets were fired, and after a brief distraction of the lookouts, Sandpaper arrived. She blocked the corridor, and the tools floating beside her strangled the lookouts in front of her. At the same time, energy balls gathered from the ends of her hair and shot out, like a machine gun, fiercely bombarding all those who wanted to get close.
The battle started in an instant, and within a short time, many bodies fell in the hall. In the turbulent airflow, the smell of burnt flesh and hair filled the air.
Yin stood there blankly. She was elegant and noble in the golden light, which was somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere of fighting here. Yin did not attack anyone, and no lookout attacked her. She watched everything happening in front of her, and still didn't understand why the Meteorite Inspector attacked these lookouts.
Behind Yin, the door of the consulate was violently smashed open. Amid the flying debris, a war machine holding a sharp blade rushed in. Its steps were heavy and swift, and it flashed past Yin and ran towards Sandpaper. The cannon behind it flipped over its shoulder, and while the long blade slashed at the lookout, energy beams continued to be emitted from the muzzle, fiercely bombarding the lookout in front of Sandpaper.
The war machine Boiling began to show its power, and Shelley followed closely behind Boiling.
Shelley had pulled up the eye patch covering her right eye, and the Medusa's eye emitted a strange light. She flashed past Yin's side like a snake and rushed to Luke's side in an instant.
Shelley's shooting skills are much better than Luke's, and every shot is a headlock.
"Chief Inspector, are all the kidnappers here?"
Luke stabbed a lookout and retreated: "Except the leader, the other kidnappers are here. I leave this place to you..."
After the first round of raids, the weaker lookouts were all dead, and the remaining stronger ones were still fighting desperately. At this time, a large number of sheriffs and imperial spies rushed in from outside, and it was only a matter of time to wipe out these lookouts.
Luke did not continue to take risks, and everyone would be happy if everyone shared some of the credit.
"Leave this to us. Chief Inspector, please retreat to a safe area first." Shelley, who had run out of bullets, pulled out a dagger from his boots and pounced on a lookout who looked quite powerful.
"No one alive."
"Yes, Chief Inspector!"
Luke stretched out his hand to take back the Taotie, and when the Taotie sank into the back of his hand, he just retreated to Yin's side.
Yin, who was wearing a golden armor, made Luke exclaim: "How beautiful!"
Yin was not happy about Luke's praise. She asked with a bad look, "Since they are ready to surrender, why do you want to kill them?"
Luke put away the Greedy Red Dragon Spear, but still activated the Thunder Fire Eye.
Facing Yin's question, he glanced at the battle that was coming to an end: "I am an imperial spy, and my duty is to protect national security. These kidnappers kidnapped foreign envoys and wanted to use the international status of Fury City to announce the start of their holy war.
If I allow them to surrender and let them leave alive...what face will the Empire have in the world? Do other people who want to do something internationally have to come to Fury City to commit a kidnapping case?"
Yin couldn't accept Luke's explanation: "But you told me..."
"Please ask you and Pan Yiliu to help me surrender the Lookout with your status as the royal family of Rio?" Luke replied calmly: "This is just to make the Lookout relax his vigilance against me so that I can smoothly implement the encirclement and suppression plan.
sound!
My identity determines that I will do whatever it takes... I have reminded you not to put too much emphasis on me, don't you realize that you have crossed the line?
This is very dangerous for you. Be a good and honest person, and stand in the position of a person who is a good person and see what is happening here. You will feel more comfortable. Let's go and find Pan, he is a qualified person who is a good person. "
Yin was indeed upset, not because Yunxing suddenly killed these lookouts, but because she felt she was deceived. Both she and Pan were used, and Yunxing had always regarded her as a tool.
The golden armor on his body turned into pieces of golden light and dissipated. Yin looked at Luke again, but the passion in his eyes was no longer there.
The spiritual connection with Pan is unobstructed.
He is safe!
"Okay, Inspector Meteorite. Looking at this from the perspective of the Shining Gold Man does make me feel much more comfortable. But your deception has greatly reduced my impression of you. Even if you have your responsibilities, I only see that you have failed our goodwill towards you.
Let's go find Pan. I want to leave here as soon as possible."
Yin was very angry. She strode forward, wanting only to find Pan as soon as possible and leave together.
Luke could only follow helplessly.
As a man, he could certainly feel that Yin's feelings for him were increasing day by day. Maybe it had not yet reached the level of love, but it was a very dangerous trend for Yin.
If Yin is really trapped in it and can't extricate herself, the Shining Gold Man will never let her go. Luke doesn't want the tragedy that will happen in the future to happen again.
It was the right thing for her to do to cut off Yin's vague and unconscious emotions in time.
Luke followed Yin and heard the thump of her boots on the floor, knowing that she was really angry.
When they arrived at the room where Pan and the leader of the Lookouts were meeting, Yin was shocked by the headless body and the large pool of blood on the ground. She walked to Pan's side and asked with concern: "Pan, you are not hurt, are you?"
When Pan saw Luke, he held the golden sword tighter in his hand and said calmly, "I'm fine. The lookout attacked me after he came in, but I killed him."
"The Lookout attacked you?" Yin couldn't believe that the Lookout would attack members of the Rio royal family for no reason.
Luke waved his hand to let all the Imperial spies in the room leave.
He stared at the sword in Pan's hand with his activated Thunder Fire Eyes, smiled harmlessly and said, "I have issued a kill order for all the kidnappers. No lookout in the Rio Consulate incident will be left alive. The majesty of the empire does not allow any desecration."
Pan still remained highly alert in secret. He didn't know what the purpose of the meteorite was, but since no one was alive, there was no witness to point out that he was the mastermind of this incident.
Does this mean that Meteorite has no intention of revealing his identity?
Pan answered carefully: "Although the result is not what I want to see, since this is your plan, Chief Inspector, I am willing to accept it. I just apologize for not being able to help you."
Yin said unhappily, "Pan, why did you apologize to him? He was the one who deceived us and used our kindness to deceive the Lookout."
Pan warned Yin in his heart: Don't talk too much.
Luke knew that Pan's apology was referring to sending the Lookout to carry out the attack.
"I accept your apology..."
He said angrily: "You still dare to accept Pan..."
Pan pulled Yin and said, "Leave this to me. You go out first . I have something to discuss with Chief Detective Meteorite alone."
"Pan..."
Under Pan's stern gaze, Yin had no choice but to walk out of the room.
"Chief Inspector, how do you know my identity? There are still many members of the Rio royal family alive. I am the Gold Shiner who has severed ties with Rio long ago."
Seeing Pan disperse the golden sword, Luke also stopped the Thunder and Fire Pupil state.
"This is my secret. But please rest assured, Your Highness. I have no intention of revealing your identity, nor am I interested in your holy war to restore your country. You should not use the influence of Raging Waves City to spread your declaration of war. This is a city of the Golden Shield Empire, and it is also the city I am protecting."
At this moment, no matter how much Pan hated Luke, he didn't dare to show it.
"I apologize again and congratulate the Chief Inspector for once again performing a miracle in front of the entire city of Fury City. It seems that... the deaths of these lookouts were worthwhile. If this incident can bring me a potential ally, I think my road to restoring my country will be smoother."
Luke smiled meaningfully and said, "You are not qualified to be my ally now. You are ambitious and ruthless, but your vision is too small. Take some time to see the world clearly. You still have a long way to go. Don't destroy yourself before you reach the end.
I will forgive you only this time!"
Pan saluted Luke and said, "Thank you for your advice, Chief Inspector. I will follow your instructions and see the world clearly. I'll leave the aftermath here to you. Yin and I will go back to the hotel. I can feel that she is in a bad mood."
"Take good care of your relationship. Don't wait until you lose her to realize that she is the person closest to you."
Pan didn't know why said that.
“Yin has always been the person closest to me, and I won’t let anyone hurt her.
Goodbye, Chief Inspector!"
