Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang.

Chapter 740: Under the seat of Tiantong Sect Master, the Big Ear God will come

On the streets of the International Settlement.

Wang Ai was running around to various places. He did not directly participate in the dispute, but instead met with warlords, high-ranking officials, and some gang leaders.

Just now, he went to meet Wang Yuqiao, the leader of the Axe Gang, who is known as the number one killer in Magic City, and Dai Chunyu, the second in command.

Because Wang Ai's Tiantong Church had been doing a lot of charity work recently, and he had recently quit smoking, Wang Yuqiao looked at him differently and met him.

After learning of his purpose, he waved his hand and said that he would help suppress some of the restless underworld forces, but he could not intervene too much in the white world, and the second in command had to step in.

The second in command that Wang Yuqiao mentioned is the future famous head of the Military Control Commission. Of course, the Military Control Commission has not been established yet.

But even so, he is quite influential in the white world. He is Wang Yuqiao's sworn brother. For Wang Yuqiao's sake, he promised Wang Ai that he would help him to smooth out his connections.

Wang Ai was immediately filled with gratitude, promised a generous reward and left in a hurry.

He went to many places. Some people glared at him and wanted to kill him on the spot. Some people mocked him and some people just gave him a perfunctory response...

However, there is good news from the Axe Gang, he thought to himself.

At Fengming Tower, little Aqiao is using her connections to help negotiate things with her father.

As for the larger warlords in the Magic City, they directly stated that they would not interfere in the matter, and said that if the young master needed help, he could tell them. This clearly showed that they were Senior Brother Zhang's connections.

Wang Ai thought for a while, but still did not ask them for help. He understood that these warlords said this not for his sake, nor for the sake of the Wang family, but for the sake of Senior Brother Zhang.

If he agreed, this favor would be owed to Senior Brother Zhang.

Although Senior Brother Zhang had contacts with some warlords, even not long ago, the Jiangxi governor and a Hunan Army defense officer donated a lot of money to the Tiantong Church.

But Wang Ai knew in his heart that Senior Brother Zhang was not interested in these warlords and had no intention of having too much contact with them.

Therefore, he politely declined the help from those warlords, as they just needed to not cause trouble.

"Next is the Municipal Council in the concession. I hope those foreigners won't be too difficult to deal with."

Wang Ai came to the Municipal Council and wanted to meet with the board of directors, but was turned away and told that there was no appointment.

Afterwards, Wang Ai came to the president’s general office to meet the president.

In the president's general office, there is one general manager, two assistant managers and one Chinese vice president.

They are primarily responsible to the Board of Directors and manage the various departments under the Municipal Council.

When Wang Ai arrived, he only saw the Chinese association inside.

After all, the concession is located in Shanghai, where a large number of Chinese people live. In order to facilitate their management, even if they are very reluctant, they have to set aside a place where the Chinese can run the business.

The Chinese organizer was called Li Qingbai, a tall and thin man in his sixties or seventies. He was in high spirits, wearing a long gown and a jacket that was out of place in the Municipal Council. He had a pocket watch on his chest and spoke with a standard Shanghai accent.

Seeing that the other party was of the same tribe, Wang Ai inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity and quickly explained his purpose.

Li Qingbai knew the three tycoons of Yongxin, but it was the first time he met Wang Ai.

When Li Qingbai learned that the archbishop of the Tiantong Church, which had been in the limelight recently, was actually such an ugly little fat man, he was stunned for a moment. Then he put away his surprise and warmly received Wang Ai.

"Bishop Wang came to the Municipal Council to discuss recent matters, right?" Li Qingbai reminded, "But I can't get involved in this matter."

"I can only remind you that not long ago, the general manager personally led people there to forcibly demolish the slum you built on the grounds that it affects the city appearance and disturbs public order."

"This process will not be gentle. Even if bloodshed occurs, they will not stop. Bishop Wang, you should go over and take a look."

"Forced demolition?" Wang Ai was stunned. "Didn't I have all the necessary documents? I even gave them a large sum of money for this. Now these damn foreigners are taking the money and not doing anything?"

Li Qingbai spread his hands and said helplessly: "They set the rules. When it is in their favor, they are sacred and inviolable. When it is not in their favor, they are just a piece of waste paper. Who let them have big fists?! However, maybe it is because they are soft-hearted when they are paid that they did not come to see you."

Wang Ai answered the question absentmindedly, thinking in his heart that with "Zhang Da'er" over at the tube building, there shouldn't be any problem.

Moreover, even if something goes wrong with "Zhang Da'er", there are still several masters from Zhulong City Village who can provide a backup, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Bishop Wang, why don't you hurry over there?" Li Qingbai reminded him, "Given the way those people act, they don't care about other people's lives and deaths. They can do anything."

Wang Ai glanced at Li Qingbai and said in a deep voice, "There are tens of thousands of Chinese living in that slum. I... the Tiantong Church promised them a better life. I, the church behind me, and the leader of the Tiantong Church will not tolerate this happening. We should stay here. This is our land."

Li Qingbai stared at Wang Ai's face for a while, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "You are right, keep going!"

Wang Ai pulled his hand away, turned and left.

He walked out of the Municipal Council and headed towards the accommodation area of ​​the Tiantong Church. Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and now he had to join the battle.

He is also an important fighting force. Although his own strength is average, he can ask the deputy leader to take action. In a sense, he, the archbishop of the Tiantong Church, is actually the number one person under the leader.

Wang Ai walked out of the foreign concessions and headed towards the slums. He passed by an alley and was surrounded by silence, without hearing a single sound.

He stopped and had a feeling that there were countless pairs of cold eyes looking at him.

At this time, a number of rotating flying knives attacked his temple. These flying knives were willow-leaf shaped, light and sharp, and aerodynamic. There were so many of them that they almost formed a net that covered him.

This was a premeditated murder. The perpetrator acted without reservation and gave Wang Ai no chance to resist.

However, the attacker underestimated Wang Ai's strength, or rather, underestimated the power behind him.

Wang Ai's muscles began to swell, the sleeping beast in his body awakened, and thick white hair began to grow on his fat face.

At the same time, his frontal bone was protruding, his skull was lengthening, and his upper and lower jaws were protruding forward, forming a bloody mouth with two rows of white teeth.

"Hoar!"

Wang Ai roared and turned into a giant ape. In his pair of small eyes, which were originally black and white, there were flames and lightning intertwined, like flying stars.

At the critical moment, he asked the deputy leader to take action.

The "National Master" was possessed, and his whole body was shrouded in lightning. The willow-leaf flying knives that were attacking him hit his body, and they were as fragile as an egg hitting a stone, and shattered in an instant.

The "National Master" looked at the assassins hiding in the dark around him, grinned grimly, and finally he could relax his muscles.

It walked towards them with a grin on its face.

The killers lurking in the dark looked at this scene in confusion.

When they took action, they actually investigated some basic information about the Tiantong Church and knew that this church could summon some monster-like demons into the body to gain powerful strength.

The monsters they summoned were usually snakes, foxes, and weasels, but this bishop seemed very different, summoning a monkey. And it was an extremely powerful monkey. They felt a sense of oppression, an extreme sense of oppression.

The momentum was so powerful, so powerful that it seemed as if the momentum alone could cut their skin like a knife.

It doesn't look good. With this kind of momentum, they can't be opponents.
They instinctively wanted to escape, but it was too late. A huge black shadow fell from the sky and blocked their retreat.

What followed was a massacre.

On the other side, in the resettlement area of ​​Tiantong Church.

A large number of people are gathering.

Among the people who came, there were people from the Health Department wearing neat suits, as well as people from the Fire Services Department and the Works Department. Of course, the majority were people from the Public Security Department.

The Public Security Department of the International Settlement had a total of about 5,000 people, which was actually an army. There were several hundred of them, fully armed.

Seeing so many foreigners coming in aggressively, the residents in the resettlement area suddenly felt something was wrong. They all rushed out and blocked the entrance of the resettlement area with solemn expressions.

Even though they saw that these foreigners were aggressive, they did not retreat at all.

Because their home is behind them, they have finally settled down and are living a good life with no worries about food and clothing, how could they allow others to destroy it?
Seeing this scene, a bearded foreigner in police uniform hesitated for a moment and looked at the officer next to him:
"Do you want to proceed as planned?"

"The plan remains unchanged, but let's put it in a more gentle way. Let's get the things in first," said the white officer.

Their original idea was to define the Tiantong Church as a cult, directly seal off the resettlement area, arrest some of the believers inside, and then raze the place to the ground.

But given the current situation, if we really speak so bluntly, it might just cause a riot.

Although their men were fully armed, they were not afraid of riots.

However, forcing someone to demolish a house and being attacked by rioters while demolishing the house and being forced to kill people in self-defense to suppress the riot, although the consequences are the same, the nature of the two actions is completely different.

One is a terrorist attack.

One is self-defense.

As members of the Municipal Council, they still had their dignity to save, so naturally they used the second method.

Then, someone from the Health Department walked over and said to the people inside:
"We just received a report that the sanitary conditions inside are poor and have caused infectious diseases. We need to enter immediately for quarantine."

One of them took a look at the fully armed security team and asked suspiciously, "Aren't they here to prevent the spread of the virus? Why are they carrying so many weapons?"

The person from the Health Department said, "Because we need to quarantine those infected with the plague, they may not necessarily cooperate, so it is normal to bring the security team. Please get out of the way quickly. For the sake of your families, please let us in quickly."

Since it was a family-related matter, everyone's attitude immediately softened and they cooperated to make way.

Subsequently, a large number of foreigners began to enter the resettlement area.

"Huaiyi, are we just going to watch them go in? It's obvious that they are up to something!" Tian Jinzhong, who was hiding in the dark, looked at this scene and said with a puzzled look on his face.

Some of the immortals and disciples stationed here to protect the hall were also puzzled.

This is the base camp of the Tiantong Church, so there have always been many immortals stationed here. While ensuring the safety of the resettlement area, they are also responsible for maintaining security within the resettlement area.

In this era, legal awareness is very weak, so the crime rate is very high, especially in slums.

However, under the control of these immortals, the resettlement area of ​​the Tiantong Church seemed very peaceful, and basically no major cases occurred.

Originally, those responsible for security would not allow these people to enter.

But just now, Zhang Huaiyi secretly told them that there was no need to stop them and let them in.

Out of trust in the leader's junior brother, they stopped trying to stop them and allowed the foreigners to enter the resettlement area.

After entering the resettlement area, the people from the Municipal Council quickly occupied the gate and then asked the people inside to come out on the pretext of epidemic prevention.

At the same time, a number of bulldozers drove in from the gate and were about to tear down the house.

The people in the resettlement area immediately realized something was wrong and went over to stop it.

The tube-shaped building is a kind of inner corridor-style residence with simple structure and low construction cost. It is named because of its shape like a long tube and is made of prefabricated panels.

It has a lot of shortcomings, but the advantage is that it can be built quickly, so Wang Ai built a lot of them. How can they stop the bulldozer?

Seeing that the place where they live is about to be destroyed, a group of people are ready to fight to the death.

But the security team, armed with live ammunition, pointed their guns at them, with bullets loaded. Anyone who dared to move would be shot to death.

No one dared to move and could only watch their homes being pushed down by those bulldozers and the things inside being crushed?
This feeling was so despairing that several workers who were pushed back home shouted that they would not live anymore and wanted to fight to the death. The people from the Municipal Council were also ready to shoot.

But at this moment, Tian Jinzhong, who was instructed by Zhang Huaiyi, rushed over, stopped them and said:

"We are all believers of the Tiantong Church. The Tiantong Sect Master will protect us. Let's pray quickly and pray that the Tiantong Sect Master will send his Dharma protectors to save us."

The people who were in a state of panic suddenly found spiritual comfort and began to call for the appearance of Master Tiantong.

"We've been waiting for this moment. We can't delay any longer. It's time to take action." Zhang Huaiyi clapped his hands and said to himself.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he should let the foreigners bully everyone for a while. It would be best to take action when the situation escalated and the hatred was full, so that the effect would be best.

But if this happened, there was a high probability that someone would die, and he would have a hard time explaining to his senior brother afterwards.

So, he came out directly.

Amid the roar of the bulldozer, a ball of blazing human-shaped lightning fell from the sky and landed on a bulldozer.

Amidst the flashes of lightning, the bulldozer was blasted to pieces, leaving only a frame, and the foreign driver inside was turned into a pile of charcoal.

Zhang Huaiyi stood on the front of the car, his whole body wrapped in lightning, like the god of thunder descending to the earth. He looked around and his voice was like thunder.

"I am the Great-Eared Divine General under the seat of the Tiantong Sect Master, holding the power of heavenly punishment. I have ears that can hear everything in the world and listen to everything that happens in the world. Now that I have heard something unfair, I have come to bring down heavenly punishment!"

In fact, Zhang Huaiyi really disliked the title of Big-Eared General coined by Wang Ai.

But because of his big and recognizable ears, the Big Eared God General has already spread widely in the Tiantong Church. If he makes a new one, it will only cause a lot of trouble.

So after much deliberation, Zhang Huaiyi did not change the title, but directly inherited it and added some new abilities.
