Chapter 1297: Chapter 49: Fang Tu’s Meeting [Double-Length] (Part 3)
He clearly remembers that Captain Fang passed judgment on him...
Day by day, Ma Pian grows thinner, successfully losing weight.
This day.
Fang Che had just arrived at the prison, ready to interrogate the people captured yesterday, when suddenly a message came: "General Zhao requests your presence."
"No time, I’ll go after the interrogation."
"General Zhao said it’s something good."
"Uh... then I’ll go take a look."
Fang Che tossed the work to Yu Zhongge; "Interrogate well!"
Fang Che left.
That overwhelming aura of killing intent filling the entire prison suddenly reduced by more than half.
All the prisoners breathed a sigh of relief. Even the death row inmates already marked for execution the next day were suddenly at ease.
Living one more day is always good. Especially a day without Fang Tu’s intimidation, it felt even better.
They would rather be executed immediately than be intimidated by Fang Tu’s aura...
Too terrifying!
Southeast Headquarters meeting room.
Zhao Shanhe, An Ruoxing, and about twenty other leaders were all present.
Each one of them was chatting and laughing.
"Tsk, I must say, since Fang Tu took office, the atmosphere in Donghu State has been gradually improving. But his methods... Tsk tsk, not to lie, even I feel a bit uneasy now."
The speaker was a Hall Master from the Battle Platform.
"Me too."
The crowd echoed one after another.
The Great Altar Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, with a black face, a thin build and eyes like a hawk, sitting under An Ruoxing, said: "It’s normal for you to feel uneasy. But if even I feel a bit uneasy, that’s not quite normal..."
There was an uproar of laughter.
The Law Enforcement Hall was meant to work like Captain Fang. Before Fang Che arrived, all these matters were handled by the Law Enforcement Hall.
The Great Altar Master has always been known as the ’Black-faced Yama’, and even the other altar masters feared him.
It was unexpected for even the Law Enforcement Altar Master to say such words, instantly amusing everyone.
The War Altar Master chuckled, "I say, these days Old Yin seems more appealing and less scary, more friendly... Turns out Fang Inspector overshadowed him."
The Law Enforcement Altar Master Yin Guotang eerily said: "I see you’re all itching for a lesson. You must understand, if you commit any offenses, internal matters aren’t handled by Captain Fang but by me. You seem to have forgotten what the Guardian’s staff feels like."
Immediately, everyone was pleading.
They were all Jianghu people, a bunch of roughnecks; each had experienced the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea; they’re used to being unruly.
So, they often made minor mistakes; and all of these were handled by the Law Enforcement Hall.
If caught, they’d face the consequences.
So everyone was quite apprehensive.
An Ruoxing warned: "This is Captain Fang’s first time attending this kind of meeting, so behave yourselves. Don’t corrupt the man."
Everyone laughed: "With Captain Fang’s guts, you think we can scare him? Besides, if anyone’s corrupting, it’s probably him corrupting us!"
Zhao Shanhe sternly said: "Silence! You all act as if you have no decorum. You’re all high-ranking officials, yet gathered here like a bunch of street thugs? If the new guy sees this, he’ll think Southeast Headquarters is unruly!"
"Be serious!"
With the Chief’s order, everyone turned solemn.
At that moment, a cold breath suddenly swept in from outside.
An overwhelming killing aura, moving like the air, headed straight for the meeting room!
"Fang Tu is here!"
Yin Guotang drew a cold breath: "Feel this aura... damn, even ghosts would step aside! Damn, how many people has he killed to gather such a killing aura... Maybe this kid hasn’t learned how to control his aura yet?"
Zhao Shanhe rolled his eyes: "He learns things faster than you can fantasize... As if he hasn’t learned, this guy is doing it on purpose. He keeps the aura to intimidate folks... When he’s with his wife, there’s not a hint of killing aura. Fully controlled."
Everyone was astonished: "So impressive!?"
As they spoke, there was the sound of heavy and majestic footsteps.
Thud, thud, thud...
It was Captain Fang’s large boots!
Deliberately stomping out oppressive footsteps, and that aura of killing intent, was like a mighty wave, crashing towards them.
A raging, furious tide.
Initially, everyone was joking about Fang Che’s aura of killing intent, considering they were all seasoned veterans from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea.
With a typical young person’s aura, they’d just joke about it, not taking it seriously.
Although they praised him earlier, most of it was in jest.
But as Fang Che got closer, the aura tightened into a palpable force pressing down on them.
They couldn’t help but look at each other in shock.
What was a joke before had now surpassed the scope of humor.
Each one of them set aside their senior perspective.
Their expressions became genuinely grave. Regardless of age, such an intimidating aura from the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea demanded respect!
Zhao Shanhe observed and sighed.
He had hoped these old hands would give Fang Che a taste of what to expect, but damn it, before Fang Che even arrived, these old hands were already backing down.
As soon as Zhao Shanhe called a meeting, Fang Che immediately realized.
This old fox must want me to work.
But if there’s a meeting, they’ve probably gathered a bunch to try and press me, surely there must be some show of force.
But I can’t take this hit.
In front of these old Jianghu, only strength speaks volumes.
So, as he approached, he gathered his momentum, even drawing from the Divine Formless Jade bit by bit.
