From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 98 Power Always Changes People

The once noisy arena suddenly fell silent.

Countless people looked in horror into the metal hexagonal cage, where a tall figure slammed the strong Mike to the ground with a heavy palm.

It's hard to imagine that this guy isn't even half as strong as Mike.

Even a surprise attack couldn't have accomplished that.

Everyone immediately looked at the host standing on the sidelines, only to see him standing there, stunned for a moment, before shouting angrily.

"Who are you? Who sent you to cause trouble!"

So it wasn't a pre-arranged plot after all?

For a moment, the distinguished guests present were stunned.

They originally thought it was a program arranged by the organizers, but they never expected it to be such a sudden change.

So who exactly is this guy?

"what!"

Taking advantage of Ye Xiao withdrawing his hand, Mike struggled to raise his head.

He had just been slammed to the ground, and now his face was covered in blood, and he was dizzy and had ringing ears.

But the pain only fueled a stronger resentment. His angry gaze, like that of a hungry wolf, was fixed on the masked man before him, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces.

Regardless of whether it was a sneak attack or not, being grabbed by the head and pressed to the ground like that is unacceptable.

Since being enhanced, Mike has never suffered such outrageous humiliation.

Security personnel outside the venue had already swarmed over, ready to enter at any time.

But at that moment, Mike suddenly roared.

"Fuck! Don't come up here, I'm going to kill him!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone assumed that the mysterious visitor in the hexagonal cage was doomed.

"Kill him!"

"We can't let this arrogant brat get away with this!"

The audience roared and screamed, and even the host from before locked the cage door with a sinister look on his face, giving Ye Xiao no way out.

"gentlemen----"

Clifford stared blankly at Ye Xiao, his numb lips twitching, but he still lowered his head in shame.

If he hadn't risked everything for money, he wouldn't have brought Ye Xiao to such a dangerous place.

As for now, it's too late for Clifford to say anything.

Ye Xiao did not turn around. The boos and curses coming from all around seemed to have no effect on him. He just calmly looked at the angry Mike.

That calm gaze was more provocative than any words, as if Mike was not taken seriously at all.

"what!"

Enraged, Mike roared and lunged forward with outstretched arms.

Rachel's heart suddenly clenched, her eyes widening as she looked uneasily at the familiar figure inside the hexagonal cage.

"He's finished."

Charles sneered: "Mike is invincible. He uses the latest drugs and can squat with a half-ton barbell, tear steel plates apart with his bare hands, and even withstand bullets with his bare hands."

"No one but him will make it out of the cage alive today."

Louise frowned slightly upon hearing her cousin's words.

Could it be that the Superman who wreaked havoc in Seattle was actually connected to Senator Rocky?

If that's the case, then Superman's previous crimes might make sense.

Thinking of this, Louise quietly retreated to the door and silently took out her phone.

Under the watchful eyes of countless crazed people.

Just as Mike was about to reach out and grab Ye Xiao, he suddenly felt an incredibly powerful force coming from his lower abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, he saw everything in his field of vision rushing forward, and he was sent flying backward.

"boom!"

With a thunderous roar, Mike's massive figure slammed heavily against the steel hexagonal cage, startling the VIPs behind him who screamed in terror as they stared at the reclining Mike.

His eyes bulged out, his abdomen was concave, and he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of blood. He had clearly lost half his life from that kick and had passed out.

With just that one kick, he almost killed this terrifyingly strong man.

For a moment, the entire arena fell silent, as quiet as the University of Washington library.

The audience stared in shock at Ye Xiao, only to find him straightening his suit, though the hem was slightly wrinkled.

Shock, confusion, disbelief.

The host, who had just locked the door and then lost the key in front of everyone, panicked and led a group of security guards to frantically crawl on the ground to search for the key.

Yes, this mysterious man is very powerful.

But once the door opens, he is destined to become a dead man.

The distinguished guests present were either rich or powerful; Ye Xiao's actions weren't just beating up Mike, they were slapping them in the face.

Especially the island's owner, Senator Lodge.

The door to the hexagonal cage was quickly pushed open, but just as the fierce-looking bodyguards rushed in, a stern shout came from upstairs.

"Don't move!"

Before the host could even lose his temper, Louise came running up in a dashing manner and kicked him to the ground.

The surrounding security guards were dumbfounded and glared angrily at Louise.

Guy, sitting in the audience, glanced around in a panic, then jumped out helplessly and ran quickly behind Louise to confront the menacing security guards.

"Who...who exactly are you people?!"

"You dare to act wildly here? Do you know who's behind us?!"

The host, pinned to the ground, roared angrily, "You've messed with us; it won't do you any good!"

"Oh, that's great."

Louise raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Tell me slowly, and I'll take my time to remember."

What?

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Are the cops here to arrest someone?

They actually traced it back to the councilor?!

"Is that Ms. Louise?"

The host was also taken aback and quickly whispered, "Our husband and your father are good friends. Is there some misunderstanding here?"

He recalled that Louise had recently been transferred to the Seattle Police Department.

If we bring up this relationship, perhaps we can resolve the issue properly.

"Misunderstanding my foot!"

Louise roared and kicked him hard again: "America is ruined by you scum!"

"Louise, what are you doing?"

Charles also ran down, his face behind the mask filled with panic.

"Are you trying to make an enemy of Mr. Rocky?"

Power always changes people.

It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago, Charles treated Rocky with a resentful look and showed him no respect whatsoever.

But now, he has become Rocky's good friend.

"Shut up! This is an FBI case! Everyone, put your hands on your heads and get down!"

With a sharp shout from Louise, dozens of fully armed agents suddenly surged out from all around the arena, startling everyone into a panic.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the scene before him, the host was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

Is a major purge about to begin?

"Louise, you've abused your power so recklessly, targeting Lord Rocky. We must take this to the Federation!"

Upon hearing this, Guy was startled and instinctively looked at Louise.

Is the young lady blinded by good looks?

The other party is a state legislator, after all. They barged in without even a warrant. If they are sued in the federal government, we're all doomed!

Damn it, is it really necessary to protect Ye Xiao?

However, at that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly laughed.

"Oh, so you admit that old man Rocky was behind this?"

"you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire arena fell into a deathly silence.

Are you confident?

Louise leaned closer to Ye Xiao and whispered, "Without solid evidence, this could be very troublesome."

C

Ye Xiao murmured for a moment and then said, "We need to get to the villa quickly."

"I've arranged for people to block the dock; no one can escape."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"He is an important witness, and we must protect him."

Ye Xiao pointed at Clifford, then strode outside, patting Guy on the shoulder as he did so: "Come with me, we're going to raid their house."

WTF?

Guy froze, blinked blankly, and felt his legs trembling.

Ransacking the home of a state legislator?

Isn't this a bit too exciting?

Under Louise's arrangement, the FBI Seattle office mobilized all its resources, along with support from the police department, to completely surround the island.

More than twenty heavily armed agents were waiting outside the villa.

However, they soon saw a Chinese man remove his mask and calmly walk up to them.

"Who are you?"

An agent frowned in displeasure and snapped, "This area is sealed off. For your safety, please do not wander around. Lie down on the ground and wait for our search."

"You've got it wrong, I'm leading you in to search."

Ye Xiao pulled out his identification, which only confused the detectives present even more.

Because he was so young, as young as the sons of many people in the team who were still in college.

How could such a greenhorn be their commander?

These Chinese people still love to lie, thinking they can get away with it this way.

"Stop joking! Hand over this forged document!"

An older detective stepped forward with dissatisfaction, and just as he was about to snatch the identification from Ye Xiao's hand, a shout came from beside him.

"etc!"

Guy rushed out in a panic, shouting breathlessly.

"Roswell, he's the commander Louise placed here!"

"What?"

Roswell was taken aback, not expecting that the young Chinese man in front of him was not lying.

"Do you understand now?"

Ye Xiao's expression was cold and stern as he spoke firmly and resolutely.

"————"

Seeing that no one objected, Ye Xiao nodded in satisfaction and instructed, "There are many people inside, and the situation is quite complicated. I'll take a few people in to check first, while the rest of you lie in ambush outside, ready to receive anyone who escapes and provide support at any time. Understand?"

"Yes, no problem."

"Wait, Ye!"

Guy suddenly said, "Isn't it too dangerous for so few people to go in?"

"Indeed, then you should come with me."

"What?"

Guy was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect Ye Xiao to be so generous.

Even something as dangerous as this had to be done with him.

Not far away, they watched as Ye Xiao led his men into the villa.

Charles clenched his fist, looked at Louise, and broke the silence.

"Louise, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by doing this?"

"Our family has always maintained friendly relations with all parties, especially your father, who has been able to gain a foothold in Congress entirely because of these relationships."

"Naroch is a state legislator, after all. Now that he's risen to prominence, it's no surprise that he knows some big shots at the level of members of Congress."

"Furthermore, he is a member of the Republican Party, and our family is a member of the Democratic Party. If this matter is not handled properly, it will be a battle of gods, and even your father may not be able to handle it."

"Trouble? What trouble could there be?"

Louise replied matter-of-factly, "I was just following orders."

Acting under orders?

Charles laughed in exasperation.

How could a district attorney be unaware of such an important order?

Louise is incredibly bold!

"Louise, you're old enough to understand some political etiquette!"

Charles said sternly, "This world isn't a place where you can do whatever you want. Are you trying to make our family an enemy of the entire Seattle by acting recklessly?"

rule?

Louise clenched her fists tightly behind her back.

It was because of those damned rules that she was forced to do something so extreme.

However, if Ye Xiao can find out something, then taking such a big risk will be worthwhile.

Inside the villa, we walked through the crowded people.

Ye Xiao led the group to search each room upstairs in the villa.

Guided by professionals, they quickly located a room at the far end of the corridor.

Before they even got close, they heard a strange sound coming from ahead.

The sound was like both a monster's roar and a painful scream.

The air also had a nauseating stench.

Inside the door, two people dressed as priests stood with their arms crossed, loudly chanting a hymn that was incomprehensible to them.

The detectives exchanged glances, whispered "Amen," and then quickly stepped forward, kicking each of them to the ground and skillfully tying them up.

Despite this, they continued to sing.

Even after their mouths were stuffed tightly with duct tape, the monstrous sounds from before hadn't disappeared.

Ye Xiao frowned slightly, his gaze falling on the wall in the middle of the room.

The sound seemed to be coming from inside.

Guy, unable to contain his frustration, strode forward and slammed the door shut twice with a battering ram, and the rest of the men rushed in.

To their surprise, there was another room inside!

This is a bright and luxurious single-level apartment; there is no indication of any danger at the moment.

There were many naked, wrinkled old men kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together and devout expressions, chanting something towards a strange statue, their cloudy eyes filled with excited piety.

That strange sound just now came from here.

"Blessings of the loving Father! Blessings of the loving Father!"

Seeing the bizarre scene before him, even Guy, who had the highest level of education, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and nervously looked at Ye Xiao.

"Ye, what's going on?"

Could this be evidence that Rocky was hiding something?

But this is too outrageous; even if it were taken to court, it wouldn't seem to be of much use.

We can't say they don't believe in Christ, can we?

Ye Xiao frowned, raised his hand to signal everyone not to move, and took two steps forward first. Suddenly, he smelled a familiar scent.

This is... the stench of a corpse?!

"Quickly, put on your gas masks!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's stern reminder, the well-trained group quickly put on their gas masks and looked ahead with trepidation.

Ye Xiao also put on a mask and reached out to the nearest naked old man.

Just as he placed his hand on it, the old man's skin and muscles melted like butter, and his entire arm was easily pressed off.

Is this...is this even human?!

But the old man didn't react at all, and continued to kneel on the ground chanting something.

"teacher!"

At that moment, one of the detectives exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost.

"There's a problem up ahead!"
