Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 532 - 347: Below One Person

Chang’an was already in the evening.

Ji Xinghuo let Zhao Manying go home first by herself, while he, Luo Yimeng, and Xing Lie went to meet the leader.

In the car, none of the three spoke.

Ji Xinghuo’s mobile phone vibrated, he picked it up to check the message; the prize money for the Global Marathon champion had been credited to his account. This edition’s prize money had also broken the record, and after taxes, he still had over 12 billion Ya Yuan in hand!

"So much..."

Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised internally.

Even for a Heavenly King, this was a huge sum of money – no wonder "Divine Walker" Jeffrey had participated in several editions of the Global Marathon consecutively.

Earning over a hundred billion just by running for one day was incredibly cost-effective.

The champion took the lion’s share of the prize money, but the top ten finishers also received a handsome sum, and anyone who completed the race got money, at least a hundred million.

After some thought, Ji Xinghuo decided that keeping the money in the bank was of little use, it was better to spend it.

So, he transferred 3 billion to his eldest sister for the family fund and asked her to look for a large villa to serve as the family’s residence and cultivation base.

Then he transferred 5 billion to Zhao Manying.

Her financial team was still in Ivangrad, and this money was all staked on betting that he could beat Li Xuan.

The rest of the money was kept for reserve purposes.

"We’ve arrived."

Ji Xinghuo and the other two entered the Headquarters and met Ji Daosheng in the office. Besides him, the other Heavenly Kings and ministers were all present, waiting for the three to return.

"Leader," the three greeted with a salute.

"You’re back." Ji Daosheng stood up and nodded with a smile, saying, "You’ve worked hard on this trip." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

There was a helplessness on Luo Yimeng’s face, "We failed to complete the mission."

"It’s not your fault." Ji Daosheng’s gaze fell on Ji Xinghuo and he praised, "Xinghuo beating the Sun King is a great victory. It’s a significant boost to the confidence of our country’s citizens, well done!"

"Without the leader’s Sky-controlling Flying Shoes, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to beat him." Ji Xinghuo was very humble, placing a shoe box on the table.

He had cleaned the Sky-controlling Flying Shoes on the plane and returned them to the leader.

Everyone looked towards the box.

The running equipment of Apocalypse One Star, its powerful functionalities had been fully demonstrated on Ji Xinghuo’s feet, attracting everyone’s desire.

"This pair of shoes suits you very well, and you were able to bring out their effects," Ji Daosheng caressed the surface of the shoe box, a hint of reminiscence on his face, and he sighed lightly: "If it didn’t hold special significance to me, I wouldn’t mind giving them to you."

Ji Xinghuo quickly expressed his understanding.

Although he really wanted the Sky-controlling Flying Shoes, they were prized equipment of Apocalypse One Star, invaluable, and the personal property of the leader; even if the leader wanted to give them to him, he couldn’t accept them.

Ji Daosheng placed the shoe box into a drawer and continued, "Luo Yimeng, recount the situation at that time to everyone again."

"Yes," Luo Yimeng replied.

Luo Yimeng reiterated in detail the process of obtaining the "Star Flame Pulse" and provided her judgment.

Ji Xinghuo also took out the "Blazing Star Flame" Alien Species.

Ji Daosheng took a brief look and shook his head, passing it on to others for identification.

"If Luo Yimeng’s judgment is correct and it was New Luo that deliberately swapped the Alien Species, how likely is it that the ’Star Flame Pulse’ has already fallen into the Sun King’s hands?" asked Wu Huai’an, who was usually not very talkative.

The people present all wore thoughtful expressions.

Indeed, upon receiving the news, everyone had considered this possibility, but without sufficient information to confirm it, they couldn’t be sure.

"I believe there’s more than a ninety percent chance," Xing Lie spoke up.

Everyone turned towards him.

Xing Lie spoke gravely: "’Star Flame Pulse’ is only valuable to the Sun King, no one in New Luo could use it. Whether they give the Alien Species to Ji Xinghuo or keep it for themselves, the outcome makes no difference, the Sun King still wouldn’t have it, but they went to great lengths to swap the Alien Species..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

If the Roman Empire did nothing, the Star Flame Pulse would end up in Ji Xinghuo’s hands, which would neither reveal their stance nor lead trouble their way.

However, by choosing to switch the Alien Species in secret, they indicated a strong inclination.

Looking at it logically, there would be no reason to do so unless it was to deliver the Alien Species to the Sun King.

Having clarified this issue, everyone was alarmed.

"New Luo is indeed a wolf that cannot be tamed," Zhu Xiaorong snorted, "The ambition of the Steel Emperor is swelling again."

The others also had grim looks, either annoyed or serious.

Ji Daosheng remained calm, "Ivan must have received some benefits, and that’s why he has betrayed us once again without further disguise."

"Could New Luo have completely sided with the United States?" Luo Yimeng asked.

A chill went through everyone’s heart.

The current global situation was two superpowers and two strong powers transitioning to one superpower and three strong powers. The shift in stance by the Steel Emperor obviously had factors to consider.

If the Roman Empire sided with the American Federation, and the West Alliance was an ally of the United States, then the Asia-Pacific Community would have to face the combined attack of the other three powers alone, making the international situation very serious.

"There’s that possibility," Ji Daosheng nodded, "But given Ivan’s caution, he wouldn’t put all his chips on the United States’ side, there must be reservations."

Wu Huai’an also said, "The United States wouldn’t completely trust New Luo either."

"The most important thing is the attitude of the West Alliance," Li Hui continued: "The West Alliance and New Luo are mortal enemies; even if they put aside their feud with New Luo temporarily due to pressure from the United States, with a little maneuvering, we can break this fragile alliance from within."

"Exactly!"

Ji Daosheng’s eyes showed approval, "So we need not worry too much. On the New Luo side, Li Hui, have the Sword Bureau do more reconnaissance and wait for the right time."
