Chapter 444: Showdown, I hunted down the whale shark! ( words, please give me a monthly ticket!)
With this in mind, the 16 high-ranking officials from the 48 cities all turned their attention to Dongcheng District and New Territories City, wanting to see how things would develop.

This is a rare interesting thing in the chaotic Dongye Province recently.

However, what surprised them was that after Qiu Tu submitted his application, it seemed to have fallen into oblivion.

Whether it was Dongye Province, the Shelter, or New Territories City, there were no changes or reactions.

They even tried to ask someone, but still got no response.

The six speakers remained strangely silent about this matter.

Whether it is Ye Mingfeng who is always straightforward and decisive, or Dai Yukang who is deep-minded and likes to smile;
Whether it's Tang Feifei, who has a powerful background and a cold face but a warm heart; or Liu Xiongyuan, who comes from the bottom of society and has no taboos;
Whether it is Huang Shangzong, who has a prejudice against Qiu Tu and acts in a domineering manner; or Li Tingdong, who only cares about political achievements and doesn't care about other things
No information was leaked to the outside world.

Such a strange situation was indeed unimaginable to the top leaders of the 16 cities. So they were even more curious about what the result would be when Qiu Tu applied for the position of Vice Speaker.
And at the same time.

Just when the top leaders of the 16 cities were all paying attention to this matter.

East City, Council, Speaker's Office.

Huang Shangzong sat upright on a large stainless steel chair, looking at Dai Yukang across the stainless steel desk without saying a word.

Looking around the furnishings in Huang Shangzong's office, Dai Yukang said with a smile, "Chairman, it seems that Secretary Han is really tired of purchasing. He even replaced all your desks and chairs with fine steel."

Huang Shangzong snorted coldly upon hearing this and said, "He is just lazy. He drags down my office efficiency just to save himself trouble."

"Someday, I will smash his broken tables and chairs and ask him to replace them with mahogany ones."

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Dai Yukang smiled and joked, "Then Secretary Han will have another headache next."

It was obviously not the first time the two had a secret conversation, so they acted very familiar with each other in private.

"Is the Speaker angry because Qiu Tu applied to become the Deputy Speaker?"

Dai Yukang took a cushion and put it on the stainless steel chair, then sat down and asked with a smile on his face.

Even if the two of them were close friends now, Huang Shangzong would not leave any evidence against him. So he snorted coldly, "Of course not."

"If Qiu Tu has the strength, ability, and merit to be promoted to deputy speaker, I will only welcome and bless him."

"But." At this point, Huang Shangzong changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "The timing of his application was really too deliberate."

"Deliberately applying when there is a fierce conflict between the state and the disaster area, isn't this causing trouble for the state?"

Huang Shangzong was originally tall and strong. Because he had been in a high position for many years and was very powerful, his aura was as deep as a deep abyss.

But Dai Yukang seemed not to notice it. He looked at Huang Shangzong with a half-smile and said, "The Speaker is right."

"It is indeed a bit unwise of Qiu Tu to apply for the position of deputy speaker at this critical juncture."

"Although he has become a pseudo-fourth-level catastrophist and has good strength, his achievements and qualifications are far from enough."

"I feel like he is far from being a deputy speaker right now."

Hearing Dai Yukang's words, Huang Shangzong paused.

He looked at Dai Yukang as if he was meeting him for the first time. His thick eyebrows slightly raised, and his tiger eyes looked at him.

"You're not here to lobby? I was a little surprised."

"After all, more than a month ago, you openly stood on Qiu Tu's side at the Speaker's meeting."

Huang Shangzong was obviously referring to the incident in which Dai Yukang stabbed him in the back when he proposed to transfer Qiu Tu not long ago.

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Dai Yukang laughed immediately.

He said, "In politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies."

"It's all just a matter of interests."

He explained, "Last time, the reason I helped Qiu Tu was because I owed Qiu Tu a favor and I wanted to repay it."

"After the favor is repaid, the matter will be over."

"As for the Deputy Speaker's matter, I am just discussing the matter at hand."

At this point, he said with a deep gaze, "Before, I was indeed very optimistic about Qiu Tu. I thought he was a talented person with great potential."

"I even gave him a second identity and let him work in the security system."

"But... he was promoted too quickly. It was so fast that it was scary, and he was a little too eager for quick success."

At this point, Dai Yukang looked at Huang Shangzong, and then said with a smile, "In less than a year, he went from being a second-level agent to becoming the deputy speaker of the state assembly."

"This speed of promotion is unprecedented, right?"

Seeing Huang Shangzong nodded in agreement, Dai Yukang continued, "So, I think for his own good, we should suppress him."

"If he can hone his skills as director more, he will be able to fly higher in the future."

Dai Yukang paused for a moment, then continued, "This is also what Councillor Tang Jiye meant."

"He contacted me directly after receiving Qiu Tu's application."

Tang Jiye is Tang Feifei's father, a member of the Supreme Council of the Eighth Sanctuary, and one of the top five bigwigs in the "Fengtian Clique".

However, Huang Shangzong is also a member of the Supreme Council and one of the top leaders of the shelter.

So, when he heard Tang Jiye, although he was slightly stunned, his expression did not change much.

After thinking for a while, Huang Shangzong nodded with a deep look in his eyes, and then said, "My opinion is the same as yours."

"Qiu Tusheng was promoted too quickly, and whether it is his achievements, abilities, or qualifications, he is far from being qualified to be promoted to deputy speaker."

"So, let's put this application on hold for now."

Seeing the answer he wanted, Dai Yukang smiled.

Next, the two chatted about other business matters, and then Dai Yukang said goodbye and left Huang Shangzong's office.

After Dai Yukang left, Huang Shangzong looked at the closed office door for two or three seconds, then suddenly chuckled.

"These people who play political tricks have really dirty hearts."

Huang Shangzong has been gradually luring Dai Yukang to his camp over the past month.

The reason is simple: Dai Yukang became the vice speaker in his capacity as the head of the security bureau system.

Therefore, the source of his power and legitimacy comes from the security bureau system.

However, the security system in major cities is actually still within the military system and is restricted by the military in every way.

Therefore, since Dai Yukang became the vice speaker, the thing he has done most is to find ways to make the security department system independent from the military.

But for the military, the Security Department is not just a department that handles extraordinary affairs, but also an important intelligence and espionage system.

Once the security department is separated, the military will immediately become blind.
In addition, the security department at the grassroots level is relatively weak and needs to rely on the military to carry out tasks.

Therefore, even though the shelter is constantly raising the status of the Security Department, the separation at the grassroots level is still progressing slowly.

At this time, under the reminder of the elegant man Lao Guo, Huang Shangzong decisively seized the opportunity and gave Dai Yukang some support.

Because the split and upgrade cannot be completed in one day.

Therefore, during this period of time, in order to obtain Huang Shangzong's continued support, Dai Yukang decisively approached Huang Shangzong and began to get closer and closer to Huang Shangzong.

Huang Shangzong speculated that the honeymoon period between the two would last at least until the separation and upgrading were completed.

However, this is enough.

Dai Yukang's status is relatively low among the deputy speakers, so it is convenient for him to step forward and do many things - for example, the denial of Qiu Tu's promotion this time was something Dai Yukang figured out Huang Shangzong's intention, so he took the initiative to propose.

In this way, Huang Shangzong could maintain his style as the speaker of many things, letting the vice speakers discuss first before making the final decision. This approach allowed him to regain the dominant position in the speaker's meeting.

In addition to Dai Yukang, the Security Department is also very important to Huang Shangzong.

The Security Department itself is the most important intelligence and supernatural affairs department. During war, the importance of such a department will reach a new level.

Being able to win Dai Yukang over to his side, and with the support of Ye Mingfeng from the military, Huang Shangzong can achieve almost any military goal he wants!
Thinking of this, Huang Shangzong picked up Qiu Tu's application for promotion to vice-chairman from the table, snorted coldly, and threw it aside.

A few days ago, Qiu Tu's promotion to the fourth-level Catastrophist really shocked him.

However, this application for promotion to deputy speaker only made Huang Shangzong feel ridiculous.

Just after being promoted to the fourth-level Cataclysm, you want to be promoted to the deputy speaker?

Does Qiu Tu really think that the Deputy Speaker is a rotten cabbage on the street?
And at this moment, just when Huang Shangzong was thinking this.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on his door.

Huang Shangzong withdrew his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Please come in."

With Huang Shangzong's nod, the office door opened and his secretary Han Xuan pushed the door open and walked in quickly.

When he came in front of Huang Shangzong, Secretary Han lowered his head and whispered a few words in Huang Shangzong's ear.

The next second, Huang Shangzong looked at Secretary Han in shock, and then said, "What did you say? Qiu Tu hunted down an evil god independently!?"

After seeing Secretary Han nod, Huang Shangzong's thick eyebrows were already furrowed so tightly that they were about to be squeezed together.

He said, "How is this possible?"

"Didn't he just get promoted to the pseudo fourth level?"

"Besides, what kind of cabbage is the evil god? Can he kill him whenever he wants?"

"Could it be that he got a piece of the Infinite Divine Crystal from somewhere and wanted to cheat us?"

Hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Secretary Han quickly lowered his head and whispered, "Speaker, the fourth-level evil god that Qiu Tu hunted did not appear out of thin air."

"It's a whale shark."

"One of the three evil gods who tried to take over New Territories City."

"According to the information reported by Qiu Tu, the whale shark should still be plotting to invade the 'New Territories', and Qiu Tu happened to run into it, so he killed it."

Huang Shangzong:
Huang Shangzong had also killed a fourth-level evil god, so he knew how powerful the evil god was.

I just happened to meet him and killed him.
For some reason, Huang Shangzong felt that these two words were extremely unfamiliar.

'How could such a coincidence happen?'

'How could Qiu Tu have such strength?'

At this time, perhaps sensing Huang Shangzong's disbelief, Secretary Han continued, "In addition, Qiu Tu said that in order to avoid disputes, he recorded the entire process of killing the whale shark."

"He copied six copies of Hundred Eyes Vision and sent them over."

Seeing that Qiu Tu was so confident, Huang Shangzong couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart.

He said in a deep voice, "Bring it to me and see it."

Secretary Han had obviously been prepared. So when he heard Huang Shangzong's words, he immediately handed over the "Hundred Eyes Vision" that Qiu Tu had sent to Huang Shangzong.

Huang Shangzong took the "Hundred Eyes Vision", squeezed it, and slapped it directly into his left eye!
The next second, the scene around him changed, and he seemed to be on the battlefield where Qiu Tu and Whale Shark had fought!
This video indeed recorded the whole process.

Because on the battlefield, the two hadn't started fighting yet, and the whale shark was still taunting Qiu Tu.

Seeing this scene, Huang Shangzong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he focused on the interaction between the man and the god, fearing that he would miss any details.

Then he saw Qiu Tu's two extremely stunning swords!

One sword breaks the shield, one sword kills!

Moreover, they used tree branches!
It was just two ordinary sword strikes, and the fourth-order evil god Whale Shark was like a fish on a chopping board, with no power to fight back at all, and died instantly!

Huang Shangzong was stunned when he saw the scene that went beyond common sense. He almost thought he had seen it wrong.

As a result, at this moment, the video ended, the surrounding scene changed, and Huang Shangzong reappeared in the office.

And the "Hundred Eyes Vision" has popped out of his eyeballs.

As a result, Huang Shangzong grabbed the eyeball that wanted to escape and stuffed it back again!
He wants to watch it again!
Just like that, the surrounding environment changed, and Huang Shangzong came to the battlefield again.

Still a taunt, still picking branches casually, still two simple swords, still one sword to break the shield, still one sword to kill!

The whole process is no different from before.

However, the shock it brought to Huang Shangzong was even greater than before.

'Level 4 peak! Definitely level 4 peak strength!'

'If it weren't for this strength, it would be impossible for a sword to have such power in mid-air.'

'How can he have such strength?'

With the end of "Hundred Eyes Vision", Huang Shangzong returned to the real world again.

But this time, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Perhaps sensing that Huang Shangzong was a little upset, Secretary Han asked in a low voice, "Speaker, did you really record the entire video?"

Hearing what his secretary said, Huang Shangzong reached out and handed him the "Hundred Eyes Vision".

So, two minutes later, there was another petrified person in the office again.

Compared to the calm and introverted Huang Shangzong, Secretary Han is obviously much worse.

After watching the video five times, Secretary Han turned pale and said in disbelief, "This is fake, right?"

"How could Qiu Tu kill a fourth-level evil god with just one move?"

"Isn't he really faking it?"

Huang Shangzong's face became uncertain when he heard what Secretary Han said.

After a moment, Huang Shangzong said, "It's impossible for him to fake it."

"Let's not talk about the difficulty of forging 'Hundred Eyes Vision'. Let's just talk about secondary verification."

Huang Shangzong said, "Since he killed the whale shark with one sword, then there must be a trace of his aura left on the whale shark's "Infinite Divine Crystal."

“You can tell at a glance.”

After hearing Huang Shangzong's words, Secretary Han was silent for a moment.

He asked tentatively, "Could Qiu Tu not know that the state and the shelter are checking for aura?"

Huang Shangzong's face was as gloomy as water. "I don't rule out this possibility."

"But." At this point, he changed the subject, "I don't think Tang Feifei would not tell him."

"So. Is this really true?" Secretary Han's face was filled with shock.

Huang Shangzong leaned on the stainless steel chair, his broad and resolute face expressionless.

"It's probably close to ten."

Secretary Han asked, "With his strength and his contribution in killing the evil god independently, should we really promote him to the position of Vice Speaker?"
