Chapter 1777 - 913: The Cup and the Snake, Winds and Cranes in Alarm (Part 3)

Under a state of high alert, countless changes swept past before my eyes, unfurling, yet I could never see clearly, understand, or grasp any details.

It felt like facing off against an unknown enemy, but all the fierce blade lights that came rushing in were feints, completely unable to discern the true focus of the opponent.

At this critical juncture, no one dared to disarray their own formation, only able to guard the key points vigilantly to avoid greater losses from being lured away.

"Unmanned operation, a truck?"

In the garrison office, the newly employed Ether Chosen One paused for a moment, suddenly slapped their forehead: "Wait, I know this..."

Speaking, quickly pulled out an encrypted file on the computer.

[East City Special Observation Alert Target—Ember Chosen·Ji Jue]!

"Minister, do you think it's possible..."

He turned back, looking at his boss behind him, eyes wide with surprise.

"Great idea!"

The boss sighed lightly in realization, nodding repeatedly: "Write a report, I'll submit it quickly!"

"Really?"

The newbie was overjoyed for a moment, yet hadn't reacted before seeing their boss's face suddenly turn grim.

"Fucking hell!"

With a swing, slapped him on the back of his head, pointing at the corner's Ether series projection, "I'm not even mentioning how much ability and effect automatic control has, but did you even bother to use your brain!

Open your damn eyes and see what that is!"

In the dead silence, nobody spoke.

And in the East City's water mirror observation, Rebirth Form·Nine Types, with firepower fully unleashed, was beating the East City Wilderness Market's organized personnel to death!

Ji Jue is a suspect?

Do you hear the crap you're saying?

Even if you really want to dump blame on Hai Province, at least choose something plausible, you say Ji Jue, Hai Province might laugh so hard their legs can't close.

The whole Desert Market and countless ether spectators there are his alibi, got it!

Or are you trying to say the ghost thing in the West Sea wielding Ji Jue's signature moves and Alchemy passed as a quad is fake?!

You dare to say it, and I don't even dare to believe it!

"So many whimsical ideas, you're idle, aren't you?"

The enraged boss grabbed the Tianlian Slaughterhouse report and thrust it into his arms: "Then go and clarify this report.

Immediately! Right now!! At once!!!"

Thus, the astonished newbie stared at the hot potato shoved into his hands, eyes brimming with unshed tears.

And at this very moment, in the whole of East City, he definitely wasn't the only one on the brink of tears.

At least there was the police chief of the East City Police Headquarters...

In fairness, the East City Bureau's response speed was undeniably swift, their actions cautious, their decision-making rapid, and their execution resolute.

After receiving the emergency call from the East City Bank, the situation was immediately routed to the police chief's office via a direct line. Later, through validation of the East City Bank alarm system, it was essentially confirmed the ongoing robbery event.

The police chief promptly reported to the Security Bureau, yet didn't wait for a response, immediately deploying the headquarters' equipped rapid-response SWAT unit instead.

Controlling the situation firsthand, even if unable to breach, they must swiftly seal the scene, preventing the robbers from escaping.

And once the armed SWAT force arrived, sealing the site and preparing further action, they heard the roaring commotion from above.

It was the wind stirred by the helicopter rotors.

One, two, three, four helicopters...

Helicopters from who knows where hovered mid-air, blatantly revealing their tracks, with bodies hanging halfway out from open cabins, and...shouldering...shouldering...

Fucking cameras!!!

In the temporary command center of DCPD·East City Police Headquarters, everyone stood dumbfounded at the corner TV.

"We interrupt for a breaking news update, East City Bank is under a robbery attack!"

The stern-faced host announced to the camera: "The number of robbers is currently unknown, the situation onsite is unclear. Reportedly, at the time of the incident, the bank still had many customers and employees inside, who now may have become hostages.

Next, let's have the onsite reporter introduce the situation to everyone..."

As the scene switched, the helicopter aerial view was already displayed before everyone's eyes.

Including the completely sealed East City Bank, the police tape drawn on the plaza, and the heavily armed SWAT vehicles, not to mention the bewildered faces raising their heads toward the sky.

Bang!

"Which bastard alerted the media?!"

In the command room, the police chief had already smashed the cup in their hand, roaring in fury:

"I'm going to peel their skin!!!"
