Chapter 659: Chapter 511: Sorry, I’m Rank 9

“Teleportation?!”

What’s it like when you think you’re safe standing behind a wall of guards, only to suddenly find your opponent is actually right behind you?

The look on Fatty’s face said it all.

His face instantly turned pale.

It was the kind of white you see on a student jolted awake by a chalky eraser to the face. Pale, pale, pale…

As for this so-called teleportation…

‘Bullshit!’

As a councillor of the Supreme Council, Fatty’s own power had reached the Tier Eight Mid Stage. He knew all too well what the word “teleportation” truly meant.

The Strongest could create the illusion of teleportation.

But in reality, it was just an illusion created when their movement speed surpassed what a normal person’s eyes could track.

‘Gao Neng says he can teleport?’

‘No matter how much of a genius he is, he’s only at Tier Eight right now.’

‘How is that possible?’

‘But if not, what was with that speed just now? It was too fast. Never mind the thousand members of the Guard Team between us, the distance alone was at least over a hundred meters.’

‘A distance of over a hundred meters…’

‘And you just fucking appeared here because you said you would?!’

“It seems you don’t quite understand. What about the Yellow Flash, then? You must have heard of the Flying Thunder God, right?” the voice behind him spoke again.

“F—your Yellow Fl—”

BAM!

Fatty didn’t get to finish his sentence before a hand clapped down on his shoulder, followed by a force as immense as a mountain pressing down on him.

He didn’t even have a chance to resist.

Fatty was forced to his knees.

CRACK!

The sound of breaking bone rang out.

“AHH!!”

Fatty let out an agonized scream.

It all happened in a flash.

…

Liang Qi, the Eagle-eyed Man, and the others were equally stunned.

They also wanted to ask what the hell was going on. How had Gao Neng passed through the thousand-strong Guard Team to suddenly appear in their midst?

But at this very moment, they obviously didn’t ask.

Because they had an immediate decision to make.

Gao Neng was here!

He had appeared right in the middle of the four of them.

And he had captured the councillor, Fatty.

Logically, the three of them should have immediately joined forces to attack Gao Neng and rescue Fatty.

But the moment they saw Gao Neng strike, they instinctively retreated.

“Retreat!”

The three of them retreated in unison.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

In an instant, Liang Qi, the Eagle-eyed Man, and the third councillor were ten meters away.

“And here I thought the four of you were close. I guess not so much, huh,” Gao Neng chuckled, then followed with another kick.

CRACK!

Fatty’s spine snapped.

It wasn’t a fatal injury.

But it was an injury absolutely no one would ever want to suffer.

Because it would leave a person paralyzed…

“No!!!”

A horrifying scream tore from Fatty’s throat.

He never would have imagined that with a thousand members of the Guard Team standing right in front of him, they wouldn’t be able to lay a single finger on Gao Neng.

Most importantly, Gao Neng hadn’t even said a word of warning before viciously attacking him, a councillor.

It wasn’t just Fatty who was caught off guard by this turn of events. The Guard Team on site and the crowd of citizens holding up their phones to film and livestream were just as shocked.

“Gao Neng… he attacked?!”

“He broke… Councillor Zhang’s bones!!!”

An uproar erupted.

…

The entire plaza in front of the Federation Government Building was in turmoil.

The Guard Team, under Linhe’s command, also snapped to action.

“Gao Neng, release Councillor Zhang immediately, or we will be forced to take extreme measures!” Linhe bellowed, his eyes wide.

CLICK!

In an instant, every Guard Team member had their weapon aimed at Gao Neng.

“Gao Neng, don’t do anything rash!” Luna was snapped back to reality. As a Tier Eight assassin, she had always been confident in her absolute speed advantage.

‘And yet, just a moment ago, he’d been standing right in front of me… and then he truly, simply vanished into thin air!’

‘What kind of speed is this?’

‘We’re both Tier Eight, and I’m even at the Late Stage… yet I… I can’t keep up at all!!!’

“Gao Neng, you dare to injure him?! Are you trying to make an enemy of the Alliance? An enemy of all humanity?!” Liang Qi finally spoke up after retreating.

“Hahaha… Councillor Gao truly is a super genius among men! In the battle for the North District, he single-handedly held off the alien Allied Army of two hundred thousand. The merits he earned are truly unparalleled. And now he’s ‘starting a massacre’ in front of the Federation Government Building. Is Councillor Gao planning to be king? Or perhaps restore the ancient imperial system?!” the Eagle-eyed Man suddenly burst out laughing.

“That’s right! We should all revere Councillor Gao. Even if his decisions are flawed, even if he recklessly attacked Ice City, even if he instigated a battle between the Strongest, even if the Alliance is now facing annihilation because of it, we should still support Councillor Gao’s every decision! Isn’t that right, everyone?” the thin councillor, who had also retreated, immediately chimed in after hearing the Eagle-eyed Man.

…

A buzz went through the crowd.

Some in the crowd fell silent, while others began to murmur amongst themselves.

“Liang Qi, stop your nonsense! Gao Neng’s attack on Ice City was for the stability of the Human Alliance! The situation at the time…” Wu Qingjing, who had naturally seen through Liang Qi and the Eagle-eyed Man’s scheme, immediately stood up to defend Gao Neng.

“Teacher Wu, I respect you as my former teacher, and I also know how much you care for Gao Neng. However, what’s wrong is wrong. The predicament the Alliance now faces is a direct consequence of Gao Neng’s actions alone. No one can shirk this responsibility, not even Gao Neng, no matter how great his past contributions have been!”
