Above Destiny

Chapter 722 Street Fighter
After searching the entire Lou family, I couldn't think of anyone more suitable to step forward at this time than Lou Yanyue.

Having served in the Security Bureau in accordance with federal and local customary practices, Lou Yanyue is now freed from her shackles and completely at ease.

As the face of the Lou family in this generation, he would naturally stand up to defend the family's interests and participate in this blood feud when faced with such a situation.

It is our duty.

and then.

And that's it.

There was no need to wait seven days; Ji Jue had already planned out the rest of the plot—who could have imagined that in this blood feud trial witnessed by seven cities, he would die because of a small 'accident' and 'mistake' when facing the enemies sent by the Sukano family?

At that time, everyone present will be a witness.

Throughout the entire Seven Cities, everyone was a stamper of Lou Yanyue's death certificate.

A blood feud trial means that one is responsible for their own life and death; if someone dies, they deserve it!

You've all signed the death warrant, you've all stepped into the ring, what do you want to say?

Outside the Federation, even if your Lou family wanted to take a stand, where could you possibly go? Even if you wanted to act arrogantly, who could you turn to? The Sukarno family could use this opportunity to escalate the conflict and blow things up. If you're truly shameless, do you think the tyrant will be afraid of you?

At that time, starting with Lou Yanyue's death, the enraged Lou family will jump into this quagmire again... Oh dear, I can't think about it, just thinking about it will probably make the Xu family laugh so hard they can't close their legs.

"Wonderful."

Ji Jue couldn't help but applaud.

"No!" Lou Feng slammed his fist on the table in anger. "Auntie can't come!"

It wasn't that he didn't trust Ji Jue or Lou Yanyue, but as family members, he couldn't allow his aunt to suffer even the slightest risk.

Unlike Lou Feng, a craftsman who is "unorthodox", Lou Yanyue is the most outstanding orthodox member of the Lou family in this generation. He is the successor directly named by his grandfather and the next generation of the "Five Towers and Twelve Cities"!
Absolutely no mistakes are allowed!
It was just like Lou Feng's terrified reaction when he learned that Lou Yanyue had been lost in Jinan.

This is a common problem among the family's members, and it's also a connection to the family's bloodline and emotions. Lou Feng can die, as many as he wants, even Lou Guan can die, but Lou Yanyue absolutely cannot!

"Then they've fallen into the Xu family's trap too."

Ji Jue said indifferently, "You can't catch fish if you don't use the bait. If Lou Yanyue doesn't come, the Xu family will definitely be able to sense the problem. Even if Lou Yanyue comes, the Xu family will keep probing."

"You can't make that decision yourself, Lou Feng. Call your grandfather and talk to him."

"no need."

Another sound rang out, followed by thunder and lightning that swept across the sky.

Lightning travels thousands of miles.

It blatantly tore through the night and descended from the sky!

"What kind of nonsense is this, being so fussy and indecisive?"

Lou Yanyue kicked open the door and glanced at Lou Feng's dumbfounded expression: "So many years have passed, how come you haven't made any progress at all?"

Unlike the Chopra family, where fathers and sons are kind and filial, families like the Lou family have always valued unity. They spare no effort to cultivate any family member who has any potential or strengths. Even if someone is truly useless, they will explain the consequences early on and arrange a leisurely job for him to live a life of leisure.

After all, with the Federation in such a mess, and still daring to fight amongst themselves and sabotage each other, the family would be ruined within three generations.

The same applies to the inherited spiritual shaping; there is much external vigilance, but little deliberate precaution internally.

Even halfway there, Lou Yanyue could hear the conversation clearly through the spiritual crystal on Lou Feng's body. In fact, not only Lou Yanyue, but also the fact that Grandpa in the Federation did not say a word meant that he had entrusted the whole matter to Lou Yanyue.

She said, "It's settled then!"

"Can……"

Lou Feng hesitated for a moment, but seeing his aunt about to take out the family discipline, he ultimately had no choice but to give in. After all, when Lou Yanyue said she would hit someone, she really meant it, and she was ruthless and could hit as hard as she wanted. Lou Feng had been beaten countless times since he was a child.

Moreover, after realizing what had happened, he was stunned by the aura emanating from her.

"Extraordinary?"

Lou Feng was stunned. "It's only been less than half a month, how could you..."

"Oh, a few days ago, in the area east of the Thousand Islands, I found an old man from the Empire and fought him. I wasn't killed, but after being blown up a few times, I suddenly became transcendent."

Lou Yanyue crossed her legs and casually sat down in the overly ornate chair that seemed far too extravagant for her, replying nonchalantly, "It's pretty simple, not that complicated. Anyone with hands can do it. I'm way behind Wen Wen already, so what's so strange about that?"

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Chaoba, Chaoba at sixteen!
Even across the entire Federation, you rarely see monsters like this!
Ji Jue, who was used to things going against the grain, was alright, but Lou Feng was on the verge of tears.

No, that's not it! We Chosen Ones aren't like that!

You should gradually improve yourself and resonate with the highest good over the years, like water dripping on stone, slowly carving out the insurmountable barriers between different levels. Then, you should work day and night, studying and practicing theory to achieve results. Finally, by chance, you may suddenly gain enlightenment, break through, and unlock special CGs...

How come you're so outstanding right from the start?

Doesn't this make me look really stupid?!

What pained Lou Feng even more was his aunt's unintentional remark: "Xiao Ji, what about you? You should be getting ready soon, right?"

"Ah, almost there."

Ji Jue, who still maintains his daily routine of refining and frying a secondhand furnace, calmly replied, "The self-transformation of all things is a bit troublesome, but it should be soon."

Okay, that's enough...

Not only was he left far behind by his aunt, but he was also overtaken by Ji Jue. Lou Fengguang thought about it and wanted to have a good tug-of-war with the roof beam with his own head.

Why is this ember so wicked?!
Seeing Lou Feng start to withdraw into himself and draw circles, Lou Yanyue couldn't help but shake her head. He still hadn't been beaten enough!

She had already started talking to Ji Jue.

"Since you're already here, would you like me to help you clean up the mess?"

"No need, please don't." Ji Jue shook his head. "It's enough that people come; the less noise the better."

"Okay, you can make the arrangements. Just tell me who you want to chop."

Lou Yanyue waved her hand dismissively, jumped off the chair, grabbed her unfortunate nephew by the collar, and left.

Only Ji Jue and Minkler were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

The old ghost behind him dared not utter a sound.

"That's... all done?" Minkler asked incredulously.

"All done? It's still early." Ji Jue yawned and got up: "Go to sleep early, Your Excellency. Starting tomorrow, you probably won't get a full night's sleep."

Putting ourselves in their shoes, if we put ourselves in the shoes of the Sukarno family, given their bottom line, they absolutely could not just sit idly by and wait for the blood feud to begin.

I'll definitely try my best to give you some little surprises, little twists and turns, and little accidents.

This allows them to continuously probe the situation in Xiangzhou, while simultaneously keeping their opponents busy dealing with various troubles, leaving them overwhelmed and unable to calmly recharge.

The blood feud trial is not the end, but an alternative declaration of war!
From then on, Xiangzhou was embroiled in many troubles.

In fact, it didn't wait until tomorrow.

Things started happening before dawn.

Even as the notice of the blood feud trial was delivered, trouble had already begun to emerge. However, thanks to the makeshift nature of Xiangzhou and the delays and cover-ups below, by the time Mingkele actually received the news at dawn, he was already in a state of panic.

riot!

A riot has swept across the entire Xiangzhou!
It all started when a police officer from Xiangzhou made a mistake during an arrest, resulting in the death of an immigrant. Then it was revealed that the police officer was using law enforcement as a pretext to extort money from immigrants, and a whole host of other dirty deeds were unearthed, successfully igniting the conflict between immigrants and locals.

Finally, it got out of control.

People died at night, chaos spread that same night, the marches began in the morning, and the ensuing riots had already covered the entire Xiangzhou.

The long-standing conflicts between immigrants and locals, the bloated and corrupt Chopra family, and even the corruption of the Elephant State Police—each problem is like a bomb thrown into a raging fire. Driven by those with ulterior motives, these issues are escalating and are on the verge of spiraling out of control.

A large number of immigrants stormed into the commercial district of Xiangzhou, vandalizing and setting fires. They also engaged in zero-dollar shopping. Locals spontaneously organized themselves to protect themselves, and then several immigrant families were burned to death, including infants...

"They're all a bunch of rioters, Master!"

The Chopra family member, who was originally in charge of security, knelt before Minkler, tears streaming down his face: "A bunch of filthy beggars from out of town. Xiangzhou kindly took them in, but they have no gratitude whatsoever. They're still using the guise of equal pay for equal work to cause trouble... It's all that bastard Fernand's fault. It must be that Pucheng is trying to sabotage us. I...I..."

"Alright, shut up."

Minkler looked down at the report, then casually pointed, and the director immediately knelt on the ground, unable to breathe.

The situation was chaotic.

Looking down from the mountain, thick smoke was already rising like a giant pillar.

A deafening roar.

The phlogiston storage facility was detonated.

It just so happens that it happened on the third day after he succeeded as the head of the family!

"Master, the most urgent matter is to make a decision quickly."

Before he could finish speaking, another muffled thud was heard, and a thick plume of smoke rose into the air.

From the direction of the police headquarters...

A crumbling building was gradually engulfed in flames. Immediately following, a phone call revealed that a significant portion of those involved in the riots were retired members of the police and military.

Unless the original institutions are completely dismantled and reorganized, and dismantled and rebuilt from scratch, the law enforcement agencies can no longer be trusted!
This is no longer an ordinary riot; it is a rebellion that has been rapidly expanding with the help of external forces!

It was aimed at family heads like Minkler, whose position was not yet secure!
Even the Chopra family's centuries-long rule!
What can Minkler do?
Will the seven cities unite to bombard the urban areas? Or will they deploy their household gods for indiscriminate slaughter?

"This looks like a lot of trouble."

Lou Yanyue, who had joined in the fun, laughed and looked at Ji Jue while munching on a fruit platter: "You really don't need my help?"

"No need. If we just casually throw out a trump card like Miss Lou, wouldn't we become a laughing stock? There might even be someone waiting for us behind our backs."

Ji Jue calmly waved his hand, "Just sit still and watch the employees defeat the enemy."

Since we are going to take over Xiangzhou, how could we possibly do so without any preparation?

Do you really think my coastal industries are made of clay?!
Finally, Ji Jue picked up the walkie-talkie and looked at Minkler: "Is there anything else you need?"

"..."

After a moment of contemplation, Minkler's ashen face gradually calmed down. He sighed softly, realizing that he hadn't been the head of the family long enough to be a beast: "It doesn't matter if incorrigible people die, but we should try not to involve too many innocent civilians."

"I understand."

Ji Jue nodded and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Hey, Lao Liang, did you hear the client's request?"

"Understood, boss."

In the darkness on the other end, Liang Mo, armed to the teeth with his exoskeleton, grinned, hung up the radio, and said, "Work's here, guys!"

In his hand, the tip of the stun baton emitted dazzling sparks, illuminating the forest of steel arrays in the darkness, as well as the eager, excited faces of the people.

"This is the first time the Central Plains Security Team has been officially dispatched overseas. Everyone better be on your best behavior. If anyone makes a mistake, I'll be the first to beat them to a pulp, understand?"

"clear!!!"

Inside the cabin, the unified response was like thunder.

Liang Mo then laughed.

"action!"

boom!
At Xiangzhou Port, two enormous cargo ships shuddered violently as their massive lifting doors slowly rose. From the darkness of the cargo compartments, gleaming iron light gushed forth like a waterfall.

Before that, a sharp, buzzing sound, like the rise and fall of a swarm of bees, had already begun.

Countless drones rose into the sky like a torrential downpour, turning into dark clouds and quickly covering the city where flames and thick smoke were spreading.

Amidst the piercing alarm, the sound of steel scraping against each other continued.

Giant-like exoskeletons strode confidently through the streets of Elephant Continent, wielding stun batons and accompanied by riot cats ten times their size, seemingly oblivious to the world around them.

The vanguard team had already brandished their stun batons and charged into the chaotic crowd!
They began to generously distribute their kindness to everyone!

At the very end, Liang Mo, as the commander, skillfully flicked his fingers to assign initial objectives and tasks on the tactics board, and then handed the command center over to the commander.

Where in the command post is there anything more fun than an action team?
Don't ask, I just had an itch to do it!
After all, who wouldn't want to be the previous Street Fighter?

He waved behind him, "Let's go, Doggy!"

boom!
Deep within the ship's hold, the fully modified mechanical behemoth impatiently stomped its foot, stepped forward, and emerged from the darkness. Its enormous body, even more exaggerated than a rhinoceros's, reflected a chilling metallic gleam under the blazing sun.

As if it were alive, it opened its mouth and roared loudly.

A formal announcement to all rioters:
The first Elephant Continent No-Limited Fighting Tournament is now open!
