Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System-Chapter 621 - 224: The Flesh Defies the Bullet, Shocking the Entire Arena!
Everyone in Rome had heard that a Great Xia person had single-handedly suppressed an entire city!
So, the area beneath the D&E Laboratory Building was crowded with people who had hurried over to see for themselves.
"Mighty! Mighty! Mighty—"
A piercing siren wailed.
Police cars led the way, followed closely by fire trucks and ambulances. They arrived one after another.
"Disperse, everyone disperse!"
"This is none of your business! No photographs allowed! Disperse!"
As soon as he stepped out of the car, Baal, the Chief of the Ancient Rome Police Department, began ordering people to leave.
Police officers hurried forward, setting up a cordon and preventing anyone from approaching.
This action inevitably provoked numerous protests.
But it was all in vain.
The police officers were simply following orders; the protests were meaningless to them.
"I really didn't expect this situation to escalate to this extent—it's quite a spectacle," Baal remarked, after the onlookers had been isolated. He looked up at the D&E Laboratory Building, a helicopter half-embedded in its side, belching thick smoke, and sighed deeply.
Although he'd had a premonition that today's events should not be underestimated when Zhou Zhenghua first approached him, the situation had escalated far beyond his expectations, leaving him chagrined.
Good grief, Ancient Rome's only modern skyscraper was damaged by Zhang Beixing's actions. Fortunately, it didn't collapse. Otherwise, numerous historic sites in Rome would have been destroyed. At that point, let alone toppling his superiors to take their place, he'd have to count himself incredibly lucky just to hold onto his own position.
"Zhou," Baal said, turning his head to look at Zhou Zhenghua, "I'm even starting to wonder if you came to cooperate with me today, or if someone sent you to deal with me."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhenghua didn't know what to say for a moment.
He, too, had not expected Zhang Beixing to be so outrageous!
Everywhere Zhang Beixing went, destruction followed. He'd even managed to wreck this D&E Laboratory Building to such an extent.
But... the cost was too great!
Thinking of the live broadcast footage from earlier, Zhou Zhenghua's heart sank.
Although the goal was ultimately achieved, the process had been utterly brutal.
Zhang Beixing had collapsed on the rooftop.
CLICK—
With a crisp sound, Zhou Zhenghua flicked his lighter; the flame leaped out, and he lit his cigarette.
He took a deep drag, looking through the hazy smoke at the D&E Laboratory Building, still belching billows of black smoke. After a moment of silence, he said, "Chief Baal, I hope that when the time comes, you can hand over Zhang Beixing's body to me."
"No matter what, he is one of our Great Xia People, and we Great Xia People believe in returning to our roots."
"Please, you must agree to my request."
Hearing his words, Baal initially wanted to refuse.
After all, the incident had caused such a massive commotion. Even if Zhang Beixing was dead, his body would have to be retained as evidence.
But turning his head and seeing Zhou Zhenghua's solemn expression, Baal realized that if he didn't agree, Zhou Zhenghua would certainly not let the matter rest.
So, after pondering for a moment, he agreed, "Alright!"
"Thank you!"
Firefighters set up ladders to combat the blaze, while medical personnel poured into the building, searching for the injured and providing aid.
During the battle, although Zhang Beixing hadn't significantly harmed others in the building, the aftershocks from his fight with the D&E Laboratory's security forces had inevitably caused collateral damage.
Casualties were unavoidable.
The scene was filled with the urgent sounds of the rescue operation.
As one injured person or body after another was carried out of the building, representatives from all the major factions also arrived.
They stared at the D&E Laboratory Building, already cordoned off and sealed by the police.
"Grandmaster Zhang is truly deserving of his title! He single-handedly tore through the entire building. Utterly terrifying."
"It's just a pity. Such an incredible figure, ambushed by those despicable villains in the end."
"A true shame indeed."
Sitting in his sedan and reminiscing about the scenes he had just watched on the live broadcast, Kaiser felt immense respect, coupled with deep regret.
Zhang Beixing's strength was undeniable. A single man with a gun, like a War God incarnate. He'd charged through the D&E Laboratory Building back and forth, unstoppable, unblockable. If this were ancient times, he would undoubtedly be an enemy to ten thousand, capable of single-handedly dominating an era. But in modern times…
He sighed. "Alas! Ultimately, firearms are not something carbon-based life forms like us can withstand!" he said. "Still, to achieve what he did, Grandmaster Zhang is unprecedented and likely unrepeatable. To meet death standing tall—perhaps that is the highest honor for a warrior."
Kaiser spoke, his voice laced with immense regret.
Completely contrary to him was Orthis, the godfather of the Brotherhood.
Looking at the building, where there had been no sign of movement for a long time, his heart swelled with delight.
Because of the previous night's tragedy at the bar, a conflict existed between him and Zhang Beixing, and they were destined to be adversaries.
However, due to the intervention of the established gang, Golden Wind—which also held sway over a critical vulnerability of his own gang—Orthis couldn't act on his displeasure, no matter how intense it was.
He could only watch helplessly as Zhang Beixing remained beyond the law, unable to do anything.
But now, things had changed.
Zhang Beixing had sought trouble with the D&E Laboratory himself and ended up shot dead on the rooftop by their security guards.
Although Orthis hadn't acted personally, this outcome still filled him with extreme joy.
