“Senior Brother Wang, what happened?” Zhou Penghai, the blue-shirted cultivator, was in his cave abode thinking about how to build a rosy relationship with Wang Baole when he received Wang Baole’s voice transmission. He was surprised, and after listening clearly to what Wang Baole told him, he was shocked and asked about the matter from Wang Baole immediately. He politely addressed him as Senior Brother Wang; it was apparent that he did not want to be careless.
Within the Southern Range Market, Wang Baole was stepping on Sun Fang as he spoke calmly into the voice transmission ring.
“Nothing serious happened. It’s just that some fellow named Sun Fang from the College Administrative Department is threatening me, claiming that he will get me fixed,” Wang Baole said and looked at Sun Fang, who was still on the floor, sneering.
Wang Baole did not turn on the broadcasting function, so Sun Fang was unable to hear the conversation between him and Zhou Penghai through the voice transmission.
When Zhou Penghai heard Wang Baole’s reply, he took a deep breath and did a quick search on who was the one carrying out the enforcement. After realizing that the person did not belong to his team, he heaved a sigh of relief. His eyes, however, suddenly lit up as he realized that it was an opportunity for him.
He wanted to make sure that the entire matter was handled properly and thus contacted the Inspector main team immediately. He sounded extremely stern since he held a high status within the College Administrative Department and was the right-hand-man of Chen Yutong. Furthermore, the Inspector main team had also heard about their newly appointed main team leader.
Now, after hearing Zhou Penghai’s words, the thirty-man strong Inspector main team started moving. Together with Zhou Penghai, they charged directly toward the Southern Range Market.
Along the way, he thought about the matter and contacted the main team leader in charge of the team carrying out the enforcement now to relay the information. That team leader seemed to be refining Dharmic Artifacts as Zhou Penghai heard the sounds resulting from refinement failure.
After explaining the situation, Zhou Penghai heard him take a breath—that person had apparently also heard from Chen Yutong that Wang Baole would likely be the person taking over the College Administrative Department.
“Thank you so much, Brother Zhou! That damned Sun Fang... I’ll go over right now!”
As the entire group charged straight toward Southern Range Market, Sun Fang, who was still under the feet of Wang Baole, looked at him sending out voice transmissions and grew a little nervous. However, he interpreted the situation and still felt that there would be no issues, so he began to laugh condescendingly.
“Chap, you sure are a good actor! What do you mean by you’re not familiar with the Inspector main team and need someone to relay your orders for you?
“Who do you think you are?”
Sun Fang jeered at Wang Baole. He had left his residence early that day and was not aware that Wang Baole had been appointed as one of the main team leaders. If he was not aware of the news, it meant that the disciples surrounding him were even more clueless. After all, Wang Baole’s appointment had just recently happened.
As a result, the group of people started laughing, their laughter becoming even more derisive as they looked at Wang Baole.
“This person is interesting... He made it seem so real by the way he spoke just now and almost duped me!”
“So... the person provoking us is such a prominent character, huh? Haha!”
The disciples from the College Administrative Department were all laughing till their bellies ached. Of them, the long-faced youth’s laughter was the loudest and most condescending.
When Wang Baole heard the words from the people around him, he looked calm as he raised his head, glancing at the sky.
Seeing how calm Wang Baole was, Sun Fang was a little suspicious and surprised. However, he still felt that he should not be frightened over such matters and began to speak with his teeth clenched.
“Chap, I’ll wait and see if you can really assemble everyone from the Inspector main team today. If you...” He did not manage to complete his sentence as his voice transmission ring began vibrating vigorously.
Noticing that it was his main team leader that was sending him the voice transmission, Sun Fang was momentarily surprised. He suddenly had a hunch that something was amiss and a hint of disbelief rose in him as he hurriedly opened his voice transmission ring. Instantly, a torrent of angry roars erupted from the voice transmission ring, exploding into his ears like deafening thunder.
“Sun Fang, you rascal! Just you wait! I’ll f**k your all your ancestors! Are you blind to provoke Wang Baole? Release him immediately, immediately!”
The main team leader’s voice erupted, causing Sun Fang to tremble all over. His mind was buzzing as he had never heard the main team leader so furious throughout his years working there. His breathing became extremely rapid, and his eyes stared wide open as frightening waves crashed in his mind. He was dumbfounded.
Wang Baole pursed his lips and remained silent.
Even though the main team leader’s voice was as loud as thunder, the disciples a distance away, who were still insulting Wang Baole with their words and laughter, did not hear them.
Seeing that their team leader had received a voice transmission, they immediately grew excited. That was especially so for the long-faced youth, who could not resist himself as he shouted, “Senior Brother Sun, are our men from the College Administrative Department arriving?
“Haha, chap! I’ll see if you can still be so arrogant later on!”
As the crowd surrounding him grew excited, Sun Fang’s body trembled, and his neck turned red. “Shut up, all of you!”
As he roared, Sun Fang turned pale as he cautiously looked at Wang Baole. A look of shock and misfortune flashed across his eyes as he asked Wang Baole the following with a trembling voice, “You... are you Wang Baole?”
“You know who I am?” Wang Baole spoke calmly. However, as those words fell into Sun Fang’s ears, they were akin to innumerable claps of thunder exploding loudly, causing him to tremble like a sieve as he turned ghastly white instantly. He was on the brink of tears, and the crowd surrounding him also began to notice that something was amiss. Their breathing quickened, and they no longer dared to create any ruckus. As he prepared to speak, Sun Fang was about to break down.
However, right at that moment, a series of shuffling sounds emerged from afar. Cruisers arrived one by one, amounting to over fifteen of them. The cruisers neared in the blink of an eye and tens of disciples dressed in Daoist robes from the College Administrative Department immediately leaped from them. Among them, there were about nine Armament Disciples, all looking extremely stern and serious as they approached.
Four of them led the way. Other than Zhou Penghai and another burly youth wearing a fierce expression, the two other people looked extremely stern and were dressed in black Inspector robes. With a glance, one could see that they were the subordinate team leaders of the Inspector main team.
The moment those people appeared, the people standing around and the College Administrative Department disciples on the ground immediately gasped in shock. Sun Fang trembled even more vigorously as he began to see stars.
However, none of that was the most shocking. What really made their minds buzz with a torrent of activity was when the two subordinate team leaders from the Inspector main team and the thirty or so disciples behind him leaped over the others and rushed toward Wang Baole the moment they saw him, having recognized him instantly despite having only just meeting him in person.
When they neared, they all kneeled down and greeted Wang Baole respectfully with cupped fists. Their words were extremely formal and polite.
“Greetings, main team leader!”
As they spoke, Sun Fang began to see stars. He screamed pitifully and lost consciousness, and his subordinates surrounding him were all overwhelmed with surprise, their minds buzzing noisily with activity. They were dumbfounded and began gasping in immense shock.
“Main... main team leader?”
“He’s... is he really the main team leader of the Inspector main team?”
“Gosh... How... how is this possible?”
Of everyone, the long-faced youth was thrown into the biggest shock. His whole body trembled, and he was completely dazed as he reeled in fear and disbelief.
Wang Baole slowly inhaled. Everything that had happened made him slightly adrift. In reality, he was familiar with this feeling. It was exactly the same as when he was the Head Prefect on the Lower Academy Island. However, when he gained admission to Upper Academy Island, he had lost the power that he had held previously, despite having advanced upward.
It was not until now that he regained authority. Inevitably, he needed a moment to catch his breath but quickly recovered from the unfamiliarity. He raised his leg and spoke calmly.
“Take all of them away!”
The moment he spoke, the inspectors surrounding him immediately carried out the order. They instantly spread out, apprehending Sun Fang and all of his subordinates. All of the apprehended were drowned in fear with bitterness in their hearts, especially the long-faced youth who was trembling with terror. At the same time, Sun Fang also regained consciousness, but when he thought of what had happened, he fainted again.
When the inspectors from the inspector main team had taken Sun Fang and company away, Zhou Penghai and the youth beside him approached Wang Baole to greet him. After an introduction by Zhou Penghai, Wang Baole came to know that the youth was the main team leader in charge of the branch team that Sun Fang belonged to, and he slightly narrowed his eyes.
The youth laughed bitterly, and after a brief explanation, Wang Baole did not pursue the matter further. Soon, the trio were chatting heartily, which brought a wave of relief to the youth. Before long, as the sky darkened, the duo bade farewell and left Wang Baole.
After greeting the store owners in the market, Wang Baole picked up the snacks that he had bought. Old Liu, the store owner, seemed more reserved, but gratitude was evident from his eyes. That made Wang Baole extremely heartened, and he left without saying anything else.
Wang Baole left, and when he finally disappeared from sight, the entire market burst out in commotion. When Wang Baole was around, no one had dared make any comments, but with Wang Baole’s departure, the disciples, including Old Liu, began discussing with much fervor.
“Gosh, I never would have thought... I really wouldn’t have imagined... It’s difficult to tell that this unassuming looking fatty was actually the main team leader of the inspector main team! That’s the second most powerful individual of the College Administrative Department!”
“Wang Baole! I remember now... He is a True Breath expert with an eight-inch Spirit Root, the one who contributed tremendously to the Dao College during his experience in the Spirit Breath Village!”
“It’s him! It’s Wang Baole who was slandered on the Spirit Intranet a while ago! I heard that he was the one and only Head Prefect of the Dharmic Armament faculty of the Lower Academy Island, a position that has never been held before!”
Amid the people’s discussions, Wang Baole sat on the cruiser and charged toward his cave abode. He was full of thought as he recalled some words that his father had told him.
If you do not want to be bullied, you have to be at the top!
With that thought, Wang Baole’s determination to achieve his dream of becoming the President of the Federation grew stronger.
I will not let the time I have used to read the high officials’ autobiographies all these years go to waste. Sooner or later, the slimmest, most handsome Wang Baole from the Federation will definitely...
Wang Baole raised his head proudly and was about to make an oath when a wave of excited sound suddenly reverberated in his ears, growing louder as if it was nearing him.
This sounds familiar... Wang Baole was confused, but even before he could react, the loud boom reverberated in the skies. The cruiser that he was on was suddenly slapped heavily, hurling it directly onto the ground!
“What’s going on?” Wang Baole screamed pitifully. All he could feel was that his world was spinning round and round. As he screamed, he noticed that a gigantic Diamond Ape in the skies!
The Diamond Ape looked excited as it pounded its chest with both hands and gnashed its teeth. It made sounds as if to make fun of Wang Baole. The noises were extremely disturbing, at a level comparable to Wang Baole’s immense capabilities, as it spread out in all directions.
