From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"That's going too far!"

Wugensheng's mouth twitched, somewhat indignant.

He didn't care about the insults from others, but how could Jiang Liu launch such a direct personal attack?

"I didn't have a mother to raise me either."

Jiang Liu's words directly shut Wu Gensheng up, leaving him with nowhere to vent his anger. His lips curled into a strange, bitter smile.

"I'm really scared of you!"

Wugensheng finally sighed, not wanting to actually fight Jiang Liu.

The martial arts tournament in Yuhang

He actually went too, but he didn't register. He just hid in the shadows and watched secretly... Jiang Liu and Zhang Zhiwei's fight was too outrageous. If he were to foolishly fight Jiang Liu, he would only be beaten to death!

# Chapter 462 Teasing the Municipal Council

"May I leave now?"

Wugensheng quietly began to circulate his Qi.

Facing the river—

He had to be on guard.

"can."

"I... um? Is that okay?"

Wugensheng was taken aback. "I'm from the Quanxing Sect."

"Firstly, you just gave this bastard a stupid idea, so you can be considered a 'strategist'? It's hateful, but not a capital offense."

After saying that, Jiang Liu raised his second finger. "Secondly, you haven't really done anything heinous, so I'll give you a chance."

He announced his withdrawal from Quanxing to the world of supernatural beings.

I will attend your ceremony to withdraw from the Quanxing sect.

“You know in your heart that I can’t leave Quanxing.” Feng Yao stopped in his tracks and said this as if possessed.

Perhaps I will die.

But he said it anyway.

"Giving you a chance is my choice. Whether you choose it or not is your business. But if you meet me again, you won't have a chance to escape my grasp."

Jiang Liu stretched out his right hand, grasped with his five fingers, and the five energies in his chest circulated and converged into his palm, actually distorting space and giving Wu Gensheng a sense of déjà vu as if he were in control of the universe.

Actually.

The reason for letting Wugensheng go once was because his ability to "stir up trouble" was quite remarkable, which could help... or rather, create an opportunity for the Confucian Society to become the "leader" in the world of supernatural beings.

The remaining reason is simply that Wugensheng has not actually committed any heinous crimes.

Moreover, Jiang Liu had made up his mind that if he didn't meet Wugensheng a second time during the ceremony of leaving Quanxing, the other party would never be able to escape from his grasp!

As the villa gate opened, Edward and Ilya cautiously stepped out.

Seeing that "Gao Zhuang" was dead, Edward finally felt relieved and hurriedly called the police to come and deal with the body.

"Thank you, dear Jiang Liu!" Edward's eyes were filled with admiration. "Your power is beyond imagination, practically divine!"

Previously, Edward had witnessed the entire battle between Jiang Liu and Liang Ting through the window.

Liang Ting was completely powerless to fight back!

"I am not omniscient and omnipotent, so how dare I compare myself to God?"

Jiang Liu smiled, bowed slightly, and said to Edward, "Then, I'll take my leave now. I'm not used to sleeping on a soft bed... I'll leave the rest to Mr. Edward. I'll go to the Municipal Council at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope Mr. Edward can do as he pleases."

"no problem!"

Edward hurriedly agreed, even though he knew in his heart that the rest of the Municipal Council would never agree, and would even look at Jiang Liu as a clown.

But as Jiang Liu was his benefactor, he had to do his best to secure this opportunity for him!

Once Jiang Liu was out of Edward's sight, he returned to his room and called the remaining directors of the Municipal Council again to prepare for a meeting at nine o'clock the next morning, stating that there was an important announcement to be made, but without specifying the details.

That night.

The other directors of the Municipal Council were all awakened from their sleep by the ringing of the telephone. They learned that Edward had found an Eastern superhuman to solve Gao Zhuang's troubles and that there would be a meeting at nine o'clock the next day... This made them suspect that Edward was trying to use this opportunity to threaten them.

then!

The police officers, patrolmen, and inspectors suspended their operations, which were still hidden in the city. They also hired magicians and alchemists as temporary guards, preparing to meet the strange people that Edward had brought in the next day.

The directors had already learned of Gao Zhuang's abilities through the magicians and alchemists they had recruited; he was extremely powerful, but he had rather serious psychological problems.

The person capable of killing Gao Zhuang must be extremely powerful!

How could they not be vigilant?

The members of the Guo faction in Shanghai County also received the message and were required to cooperate with the foreigners by sending troops to guard the room outside tomorrow's meeting room, just in case.

Mr. J couldn't refuse, nor dared he refuse, because his betrayal would mean gaining the support of the foreigners...

To everyone's surprise, including Edward Tucker, Jiang Liu did not arrive at the Municipal Council at nine o'clock the next day.

Everyone waited for an hour.

Jiang Liu still hadn't arrived.

Edward Tucker noticed that the other directors and Mr. J were all staring at him, and he also began to wonder why Jiang Liu was late.

He's not a boy who gets stage fright!

Why?

Edward elegantly picked up his coffee and took a small sip.

As is well known, he is an elegant gentleman from England, and his unhurried attitude is the most appropriate thing for him.

[Free rein?]

Suddenly.

Recalling what Jiang Liu had said last night, Edward realized that Jiang Liu had never intended to come!

He has ulterior motives!

and so--

"Gentlemen, we should discuss the system of the police station." Edward stood up and began to speak freely.

"Director Edward, you called us here just for this?"

One of the directors stared wide-eyed.

They were all prepared to break ties with Edward, but he didn't play by the rules. Or was he trying to use this as an excuse?

Do you really think this is a small problem?

Edward slammed his hand on the table, making everyone in the meeting tense. "A sound system is the foundation for the Shanghai Municipal Council's long-term foothold in the city!"

But the police are protecting our own people!

For example: My son-in-law!

He made numerous mistakes, yet he was released after only an hour… Isn't that a huge problem? The police officers frequently oppress local civilians, and you pretended not to see it before! Are you really here to make money? Don't you know that the foundation of making money is providing a stable living environment for ordinary people? You…”

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, completely baffled as to what Edward was trying to do.

However, taking action should be a last resort. A complete break with Edward wouldn't benefit them much, so negotiation is the best option if possible…

···

After Edward Tucker returned home, Ilya handed him a letter.

Written by Jiang Liu.

Edward hurriedly opened it and read:

"Dear Mr. Edward:"

I must have caused you trouble by not arriving on time.

Feel sorry!

But there was nothing I could do. My friends were in trouble and needed my help... Thank you for holding them back. I hope this won't affect our friendship.

—Your friend: Jiang Liu!

"Haha, so that's what you were after!"

Edward understood why Jiang Liu hadn't shown up: he had never intended to join the Municipal Council. His real purpose was simply to attract the attention of the bigwigs in Shanghai, so that he could find a way to bring those ambitious people who wanted to change China away from Shanghai.

He, Edward, was also part of Jiang Liu's scheme!

But Edward was not angry.

After all, Jiang Liu really helped him solve the "Gaozhuang" problem and even gave him a chance to thoroughly humiliate the other directors of the Municipal Council who were targeting him!

This made him feel much better!

As for whether those board members will escalate their attacks on him afterward—

After all, the Municipal Council is an institution jointly led by directors from multiple countries. If his life were truly in danger, the consequences would be dire...

# Chapter 463 Leaving Shanghai (Part 1)

Let's go back an hour.

After handing Ilya a letter, Jiang Liu quickly found Lu Jin, Miss Liu, and ten other people including Mr. Ren, who was dressed simply.

"Mr. Ren, it seems you've lost."

Upon seeing Mr. Ren, whose hair was a mess and resembled a bird's nest, Jiang Liu remarked, "I thought you would be more wary, but it seems you're only wary of us."
