Chapter 698: Chapter 631: Reaction Chapter 698: Chapter 631: Reaction “What’s going on?

What’s the situation?”

“Is there a fight going on here?”

“Are they insane?”

“The Inspector has arrived…”

“This is going to be entertaining…”

“…”

A storefront exploded right on the street, the noise echoing through the area; this was in the Second Ring District after all!

Although the Second Ring District wasn’t absolutely safe—Decaron’s first assassinated World Breaker was killed here—it was still much better than other places.

In the Second Ring District, such a storefront explosion, if not related to other major incidents, could make the headlines today.

Moreover, the location was not far from Tianmei Hotel and was surrounded by many fans of Long Yin’er.

After Long Yin’er publicized the upcoming press conference, even more fans gathered, eager for updates.

There were also some journalists and intelligence brokers.

…

People from the mission hall were around as well, alongside the local Security Team and Shi Di, the area Captain, making it a mixed crowd.

Now, this was getting to be an embarrassment for the Security Team.

But the Inspector had already arrived, arriving much faster than the Security Team.

After leaving the store, Shi Di hurried over.

Yes, when he came over, he was walking directly towards Tao Yu and clearly saw him leaving the scene.

But he acted as if he hadn’t seen anything at all and just passed by with his team members.

Joking aside, the Inspector was already ahead; since the other party could leave safely, it clearly had nothing to do with him!

Even if it did, if the Inspector didn’t make a statement, then it was “not his concern”!

For any reason that could lead to this outcome, one must ignore it.

At least until he got first-hand information from the Inspector, he was to pretend he didn’t see.

This was the way Shi Di survived…

“It’s nothing serious; a few extreme fans attempted to attack, and justifiable defense was made.

Find out the identities of these people, and get the compensation for the damages and the fines for causing disturbances from their families,” said Inspector Boken, his voice hoarse, still recovering under the influence of medication after being threatened by Tao Yu.

His disposal of the situation didn’t mention Tao Yu at all.

“And the attackers?”

Shi Di was forced to ask, stiffening up a bit as technically, the State Capital didn’t encourage solving problems through violence.

Although self-defense usually wasn’t a big issue, compensation still needed to be paid.

Moreover, since the attackers were dead, if their families didn’t have money, or they were loners without families, the Security Team would have to cover the costs themselves.

“Don’t you understand what I said?”

“I understand, I understand.”

Shi Di sighed internally; it looked like he had to just accept his bad luck.

But who exactly was that guy…

Recalling how the man had spoken politely when he entered and how he hadn’t been very appreciative at that time, Shi Di now felt a chill—hopefully, he wouldn’t hold a grudge…

…

As for Long Yin’er, the keyword was speed!

The notice was issued the same day, and the preparations for the press conference were completed by evening.

Although the Aphis family must have been furious about the incident, they still actively arranged the venue at Tianmei Hotel.

It seemed like the staff hadn’t received any special directives.

Meanwhile, in a conference room at Tianmei Hotel, several high-level members of the Aphis family had gathered.

Even the Catastrophe-Level Guardian stationed in Abyss had come back, bringing together two of the deployable Catastrophe-Level powers.

“What exactly are they trying to do…” said a young-looking man in a robe with a small mustache but aged eyes, speaking with a hint of annoyance.

Based on his central position, he was one of the core Catastrophe-Level strongmen of the Aphis family, just returned from the Abyssal Fragment.

“They are quite aware of their own situation and must have some reliance and confidence to act this way, probably related to Heide’s death,” said Bohr Aphis, the clan leader of the Aphis family, looking relatively calmer.

When mentioning Heide’s death, his expression turned somewhat grim.

Not only had a core member died, but they had also been caught off-guard in the extraordinary intelligence war, leading to the current somewhat passive situation.

Now they had to adapt without changing!

Thankfully, it was still their home ground, and they had the advantage.

“Hmph, the message from Boken indicates that the opponent is a mysterious Catastrophe-Level.

Damn it.”

“Heide was also killed by him, and it was he who investigated us.

Could it be someone from Heavenly Dragon?”

“The Flame of Civilization shows no reaction, it must not be it, but we cannot rule out the possibility of someone born here who later became a powerhouse in Tianlong State, though the likelihood is very low.”

“Right, it’s probably a native Catastrophe Level.”

Everyone had their say.

Originally, Long Yin’er was considered off-limits, a new line of succession for the family!

Everything had been set up, and other families with ideas also took their own influence into consideration—it would be impossible for them to provide support now.

And the options available to Long Yin’er were limited, choosing her own family was the best solution.

This should have been a mutual endeavor!

One could say that it was only a matter of time before Long Yin’er compromised if this path were followed.

But who would have thought that a completely unexpected interloper would suddenly appear!

Thinking that the other party was a Catastrophe Level, and their identity still unclear, gave them all severe headaches.

“This is a matter the Xing Family cannot interfere with.”

“Yes, we’ll directly use the company’s name to question them, an identity investigation of an unknown Catastrophe Level, the Bai Family will likely consent.”

The Aphis family was already one of the members of the White Star Group!

If they pulled the White Star Group into this, even a Catastrophe Level would have to weigh their options carefully!

With influence spreading across three states and having a giant like the Bai Family at its core, they were not afraid to confront them outright, as long as they could show some strength.

“Catastrophe Levels vary in strength!”

“If it’s just an ordinary Catastrophe Level, let’s see if they dare to wade into this trouble!”

“Being secretive and evasive basically shows that they lack backbone.”

“The advantage is still on our side.”

“It’s about to start—let us meet them.”

Though the news was sudden and disrupted the rhythm of the Aphis family’s plans,

they had still been investigating Shi Di’s death and had tried to seek the Xing Family’s help.

It was unexpected for Long Yin’er to make such a move at this critical juncture.

Now, being able to quickly finalize regulations showed that they were ‘experienced’ in such matters…

As a minor affiliate, what the Aphis family excelled at was leveraging the name of the White Star Group to gain benefits, and they always managed to do it nobly enough not to displease the Bai Family.

And as for the Bai Family, when they feasted, they would surely take care of those below them, giving them soup to drink…

…

The venue had been fully set up; Tao Yu and Long Yin’er were already in formal attire sitting on the stage, with Long Yin’er’s chubby agent aunty beside them.

Tao Yu knew that this agent aunty was arranged by the Aphis family, limiting and monitoring Long Yin’er somewhat.

This event was specifically organized without her notifying the media.

Since Tao Yu’s return, she hadn’t stopped talking.

She continued to whisper persuasively on stage,

“Miss, why did you suddenly announce this?

Don’t be fooled by sweet words.”

Though she spoke in a lowered voice, it was clear she intended for Tao Yu to hear as well.

While speaking, her gaze constantly darted towards Tao Yu, with anger and even resentment in her eyes.

Given her position, she obviously wasn’t among the first to receive intelligence feedback—just a tool for surveillance.

She was still unaware of Tao Yu’s identity and status.

At this moment, all she felt towards Tao Yu was endless resentment.

All because of this pretty boy, her task review would likely be very poor.

Making such a big mistake, she didn’t know how she could make amends!

If not for her status as Long Yin’er’s agent, she might be facing severe punishment from her family.

For someone who mucked up, a good attitude would be surprising.

“Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?”

Long Yin’er glanced at the agent, she was already somewhat displeased with her, but had resisted replacing her due to pressure from the Aphis family.

Now, after publicly announcing her relationship, she could rightfully make the replacement.

She glanced over the venue, with many reporters and even some representatives of interested powers present.

Regardless, Long Yin’er came from Tianlong State, and she had a Catastrophe Level elder behind her.

𝑛𝗈𝘃𝕘𝘰.co

Even a crippled Catastrophe Level, was still a Catastrophe Level!

Although the majority were still unaware of Tao Yu’s power and identity, it was enough to draw some attention.

Moreover, for many who had eyed Long Yin’er before, the Aphis family’s intentions were clear as day.

They were curious about how the Aphis family would handle the situation.

Would they disrupt the lovers?

Or would they appear to not obstruct on the surface, while doing something underhanded behind the scenes?

Like ‘Long Yin’er, you wouldn’t want your husband to suffer…’

That sort of thing…

Regardless, if the waters got muddied, it was uncertain who might benefit…
