Chapter 1199: No Laws Anymore? (Bonus Chapter)
Things simply couldn’t wait until daytime!
The Yu Guo Royal Palace was bombed, bathed in a sea of flames!
To think, the capital’s royal palace—the face of an entire nation—being bombed was practically an international incident!
The internet was buzzing with discussion!
“What’s going on? I live just outside the 11th ring in the capital, and the explosion was enormous! It scared my cat so badly it was parkouring around the room in the middle of the night!”
“Could it be that some foreign country attacked us? Like a satellite orbital cannon or something? A targeted bombardment?”
With such a commotion, who could still sleep?
However, not long after, Yu Guo’s official media posted an announcement on the international headline news!
“Rumor debunking! Yu Guo Royal Palace gas pipeline leaked, causing an explosion accident. Zero casualties. Has been properly handled!”
As soon as the post came out, the comments section erupted with cursing!
“Pfft, I spit! Did they build the royal palace on top of a natural gas storage tank, or on an oil field?”
“Right? Can a natural gas explosion cause that kind of damage? What kind of gas tank would that be? Even an orange-tier gas tank wouldn’t have that power, right?”
“Who are they fooling? Probably got hit by a missile, but they’re too embarrassed to admit it?”
That excuse was way too flimsy; no one believed it at all!
But immediately following the official post, major media outlets started leaking all kinds of inside information!
“Shocking! Inside story of the royal palace bombing incident, live recording! Hua Xia commissioner on a diplomatic mission to Yu Guo suffered inhumane treatment—didn’t get to eat for a whole day! Blew up the royal palace in a rage to vent!”
(Video)▶.mp4
“Terrifying! After not getting lunch and dismantling the Murphy Iron Tower, he didn’t get dinner either. Nuclear Peace Ambassador Jiang Devil leveled the royal palace in anger!”
(Video)▶.Wmv
“Awesome! Hua Xia’s meal king demolishes when he doesn’t get fed. Flattened the royal palace for a hotpot meal. Video proof. Yu Guo’s royal family dares not speak up!”
One by one, reports trended on hot searches, sinking the official post!
All the major media outlets had grasped the winning traffic code!
The video was only 21 seconds long, captured by a drone over the royal palace at the start of the explosion!
In the video, Jiangnan was seen in full glazed armor, glowing red, moving so fast he was a blur!
He teleported around the royal palace, going on a nuclear rampage, popping off over a dozen explosions in one go!
He was also laughing arrogantly, shouting that he’d blow them all to death!
In the end, even the drone was blasted away by the explosion’s shockwave!
After the truth was exposed, netizens were stunned.
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! “Holy crap! A real Nuclear Peace Ambassador? Boss Nan is that hot-tempered?”
(´-﹏-`；) “He bombed the royal palace just because he didn’t get to eat? If someone made him angry, wouldn’t he level the capital?”
(•̥́ˍ•̀ू) “This isn’t just arrogance anymore! It’s lawlessness! Please, just give him food! Housing prices in the capital are plummeting!”
(ﾉ)`Д´(ヾ) “Jiangnan bombed it? Sigh~ This isn’t a commissioner, it’s a Hua Xia tribulation envoy, right? He’s here to bring tribulation to our Yu Guo, isn’t he?”
He really destroys wherever he goes, doesn’t he? Does his destructive power have to be this strong?
From now on, whenever something happens, no need to guess—just pin it on Jiangnan!
The students of Lantis Academy saw this news and were so scared they couldn’t sleep!
They heard the tribulation envoy was coming to give lectures here tomorrow? What if he gets unhappy and blows up the academy?
Internationally, many countries had initially envied Yu Guo for being able to invite Jiangnan to teach spirit pet studies.
But now they suddenly weren’t so envious anymore. Even if they learned spirit pet studies, whether Yu Guo would still exist was another question!
Meanwhile, at Hua Xia Pioneer Academy, Zhong Yingxue watched the news and scratched her head.
୧(๑ŏ﹏ŏ)
He hadn’t even been gone a full day, and things were already this lively?
In the Jing Du office, Ye Ying rushed in, her face full of anxiety.
─=≡Σ(((つ•̀口•́)つ “Secretary-General! Jiangnan nuked the Yu Guo Royal Palace! It’s all over the news!”
Yang Jian’s eyes bulged, and he shattered his glasses on the spot.
Σ(‖ଵ口ଵ‖)
“What the hell? Didn’t I warn him not to set off firecrackers? And he already nuked it?”
Damn it! Could this not end the cooperation before it even started, leading directly to war?
After reading the news, Yang Jian’s face turned green. He really did bomb it! And he bombed the royal palace at that?
All because he didn’t get fed? Wasn’t that slapping the face of Yu Guo’s Sea King?
Wouldn’t Yu Guo definitely come asking for compensation?
Maybe they’d even start a fight!
“Any news from Yu Guo about compensation? Has the supply of Bihai Pearls been cut off?”
Ye Ying shook her head: (๑•̌‸•̑๑) “No, everything is normal. Yu Guo hasn’t contacted us at all?”
Yang Jian was baffled: (·•᷄ࡇ•᷅)ˀˀ̣
What’s going on? Bombing the Yu Guo Royal Palace got no reaction? Was the Sea King really that good-tempered?
“Don’t answer any calls from Yu Guo! They might ask us for money!”
“Don’t know, don’t understand, no money! Got it?”
Ye Ying: “Yes!”
Yang Jian paced back and forth. This commissioner of yours is way too tough, isn’t he?
…
Meanwhile, at the Yu Guo capital Haitang branch!
Pang Badi was squatting on the toilet smoking a cigar, while two maids stood nearby, looking at him with eager anticipation.
(ꐦ˘³˘ꐦ)⋋︴
(ʃƪ˘◡˘)∗❛ั◡❛ั)
Pang Badi gently touched the gold watch on his wrist!
Instantly, his entire body transformed into a golden man in a golden state, shining with golden light!
Even the smoke he inhaled turned into golden dust floating in the air when he exhaled.
(͡°͟ʖ͡°)⋋︴ “Omega, how are the preparations for the auction going?”
In the living room, a man with sunglasses and a golden crew cut was lounging with his legs crossed, eating grapes leisurely.
(｡■͡д͡■)ᕗ
“Smoothly. The news has been released, and some well-known international tycoons are on their way.”
“But are you sure Jiangnan will come? If he doesn’t, our plan will be stranded.”
Pang Badi sneered coldly: “That kid values money more than his life. He’ll take the bait! And you are my trump card!”
“You have power no less than that old swindler Odin. Don’t disappoint me.”
Omega smiled: “Don’t worry. A platinum-level space system, I’m confident. As for Odin? Hah… one day I’ll surpass him!”
“But speaking of which, are you sure what that fish said is true? The ancient kingdom of Lantis? Is the Staff of Origin in Atlas’s hands real?”
“Does the Origin Stone really exist? If it’s fake, then with Haitang making such a big move, the loss would be too great.”
Pang Badi squinted: “The existence of the Yu Guo Atlas royal family is the best proof. I’ve consulted countless ancient records and legends!”
“Although there are some discrepancies, they aren’t far off. I must get my hands on the Origin Stone, no matter the cost!”
“You simply don’t understand what kind of uproar this thing will cause once it appears.”
At this moment, fierce ambition burned in Pang Badi’s eyes.
Pang Badi suddenly remembered something: “But it’s better to be safe. We don’t have any space systems available.”
“Although Jiangnan is the lowest-ranked among all existing space systems, his skills are not small. Too many uncontrollable factors.”
“I remember you told me before that someone found a space system child on a sea ferry, right? Is that information accurate?”
Omega nodded: “It’s true. Should be a newly awakened one. But we didn’t catch her; she escaped.”
Pang Badi grinned: “Go find her! Put out a secret bounty! If we can find her and keep her under control, she’ll be much easier to handle than Jiangnan!”
“Space systems are precious treasures! The Light Society has one, so Haitang must have one too!”
“Consider it a backup plan.”
Omega nodded: “I’ll arrange it. With Haitang’s influence, finding a person isn’t too hard.”
“Also, tomorrow Jiangnan will be teaching at Lantis Academy, lecturing on spirit pet studies. Should we send someone to secretly study?”
“After all, spirit pet studies, if used well, are also a force to be reckoned with.”
Pang Badi shook his head: “I’ll go listen in person. Do you think Merlin and Craig are pushovers?”
“Yu Guo fought hard to get this fat piece of meat. How could they allow others to steal a bite? If exposed, it’d be troublesome to handle. After all, we still have to operate on their turf.”
“Go arrange it. Contact me anytime if there’s news.”
As he spoke, a few “clatter” sounds came from the toilet—the sound of metal hitting porcelain.
Pang Badi stood up and returned to flesh form.
Meanwhile, the toilet bowl shone with brilliant golden light.
-`\-`๑´-/´-
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ)⋋︴ “Yours to keep.”
The two maids were overjoyed. So many gold bars? Although the shapes were a bit unsightly, they were pure gold!
They could sell them for a lot of money!
“Thank you, Lord Pang!”
Pang Badi grinned and touched the air with both hands.
The next second, his entire body turned into a condensed, transparent gaseous molecule!
Everything on him clattered to the floor, but he had already flown out through the window.
He certainly wouldn’t miss the spirit pet cultivation lecture, would he?
He didn’t believe anyone would discover him like this!
…
Early the next morning, Jiangnan got up.
Craig, on the other hand, looked a bit dispirited and lethargic.
(◞⁼̴‸⁼̴◟)…
Jiangnan directly told Craig about wanting to arrange for Yuna’s mother and sister to leave the palace.
There was no obstacle at all; it was done immediately.
The heavy stone in Yuna’s heart fell, and she looked at Jiangnan with even more gratitude.
The group drove to the Lantis Academy in the eastern district. Some princes and princesses also accompanied them.
They were almost all students of Lantis Academy.
The academy had also prepared for the welcoming work.
Haiti had come early in the morning to pick up Jiangnan.
In the car, Haiti smiled frankly: “Brother Jiangnan? The tiger shark has been cleansed. Consider it a bit of revenge for you.”
Jiangnan was startled. He hadn’t seen her overnight, but today Haiti seemed like a different person, a bit more mature?
He grinned: “Well done! Looks like you’ve figured some things out?”
Haiti smiled sweetly, saying nothing.
(◍˃̵ᴗ˂̵)…
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Lantis Academy, Jiangnan was genuinely shocked.
The scale was much larger than Pioneer Academy, and the architectural style was completely different.
It gave a medieval castle feel, rich in the atmosphere of time, like arriving at a magic academy.
And at the entrance, many students and instructors were already waiting.
Everyone looked nervous, and at this moment, every single person in their hands held a hearty breakfast…
