Chapter 540 - - Mr. Du makes his move, stirring up opposition everywhere with action 1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Next.

Duge, piloting his mecha, taught Gu Shen and another woman some combat skills, and then, citing his busy schedule, sent the two women, completely dazzled by his aura, out of the training ground.

After that.

Taking advantage of the night, Duge rushed to the principal’s office, and without so much as a word, slapped Tang Houming and his secretary across the face, and left without any explanation.

He had worried about exposing himself before and had been cautious about maintaining relationships with everyone.

Now that he had awakened the ‘Deceive the Eye’ skill, there was no need to be polite with them anymore, and naturally, he used the most straightforward way to remove various hidden dangers.

Duge didn’t even have to worry about his rankings being exposed in a month anymore.

Two slaps left Tang Houming and his secretary dazed.

“Principal, Lin Hong… he… he went too far, how could he dare to hit you…” The secretary, covering his swollen face, was full of grievance and resentment, “I will have someone arrest him right away. Who does he think he is? An outsider, even if he has some skills, can’t just bully people like this. You are the principal of Imperial University…”

Cough!

Tang Houming coughed, interrupting the secretary, spat out a streak of blood, moved his face which felt like it had been slapped by a bear and was nearly numb, waved his hand, and said inarticulately, “Let it go, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have made decisions on my own. Don’t bring this up again in the future.”

What else could he do?

Lin Hong was ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps’.

If he threatened to deal with someone and Lin Hong then went to another academy, his position as principal of Imperial University would be over.

Besides, even the President wanted to ensnare him with a honey trap, so he wouldn’t dare lay a finger on Lin Hong even if he had ten times the courage!

“Principal Tang, you provided the training ground for him!” the secretary said, frustrated, “You gave him two beautiful women, and this is what you get in return…”

“I’ve said it, don’t bring this up again,” Tang Houming snorted, “Get out, and don’t pull any tricks behind the scenes. The situation is unstable now, and if something happens, I won’t be able to protect you. Also, get me an ice pack for my face and cover it well when you leave, don’t let others see…”

…

Duge always pursued caution.

After hitting Tang Houming, he put on the superhero mask and headed straight for the President’s mansion, forcefully breaking through multiple defense lines, and slapped the President twice before escaping amidst the piercing alarms.

That night.

News of the President’s assassination attempt spread throughout the higher echelons of the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Capital was on lockdown, with the security forces on high alert, searching for the perpetrator. The masked superhero was now a national fugitive.

The National Defense Bureau stepped forward again, using the President’s assassination attempt as a pretext, calling for superheroes to register with the government promptly, or else they would be treated as criminals.

Powerful abilities were not a reason for them to be above the law, and once superheroes committed crimes, Green Star would spare no effort to bring them to justice.

However, on the battle network, the superhero who attempted to assassinate the President was being glorified by the people.

After all, no matter who was in control of the world, there would always be some who were dissatisfied with his policies.

Having made a successful getaway after the assassination attempt and never appearing before the media, everyone was left craving his identity, and Duge’s attributes surged once again.

…

“Lin Hong, what are you doing?”

Nalan Li called him immediately, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

Last time it was Mo Shengmin, this time the President, the things Duge was doing were getting out of hand.

Sometimes she wondered if Duge’s keywords were ‘split’ or ‘chaos,’ as his actions never seemed to align with the trend at all!

And.

Every time she turned her back, he would cause trouble, and it was always big trouble that never gave her any peace!

“I didn’t do anything!” Duge played dumb, “After returning to school, I was just having a love chat with Gu Qingyan. Nalan, you couldn’t possibly think that I’m the one who attempted to assassinate the President, do you? If I really had, do you think he would have survived?”

“It really wasn’t you?” asked Nalan Li.

“Really not me,” Duge replied. “However, an assassination attempt on the President is no small matter. I suggest that the National Defense Bureau should take action and capture the perpetrator as soon as possible…”

“Stop, don’t go on…” Nalan Li, feeling a headache, interrupted him, “Go on the battle network. The President wants to see you.”

…

It was the same office as before, only this time Nalan Li was the one accompanying.

“Lin Hong, why did you hit me?” the President got straight to the point, “Because of Gu Qingyan? Or are you dissatisfied with my arrangements for you?”

“Mr. President, I wasn’t the one who hit you,” said Duge.

“Lin Hong, let’s not beat around the bush. I’m not so senile that I can’t recognize faces,” the President in the battle network looked healthy. He sighed and said, “It’s time to talk openly. You want to use me to achieve your goals, and I want to use you, Alien Warriors, to fight against the Hilven civilization to save Green Star. Today, let’s clarify things. Perhaps we can find a path that benefits both sides, instead of this cautious testing.”

This time.

The President directly used ‘Alien Warrior’ instead of gamer.

Clearly, he was no longer interested in playing guessing games with Duge.

“Mr. President, I think, the masked superhero’s attempt on your life can heighten the vigilance of various forces towards Alien Warriors, so they won’t overly trust them. This is beneficial for Green Star in every aspect and harmful in none.
