I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 53: All Troubles Caused by Beauty

The Armed Police Department took this matter very seriously.

At first, only Yuan Tianqing came, but by the time Ming Step was being escorted to the car, a dozen or so Secret Guards in black uniforms had appeared around, each with a composed demeanor and sharp eyes like those of an eagle, clearly of extraordinary strength.

They seemed to be from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Soon after, the Criminal Investigation Department also dispatched experts for protection.

Although it was just a single assassin, he was being guarded more tightly than the victim, Xu Lingjun.

And it was evident that not just the mere city lord was disturbed by this; unbeknownst to Xu Lingjun, the Administrative Department had swiftly reported the matter to the Imperial Capital.

Though internal strife is ongoing among Blue Star’s nations, when it comes to external threats... everyone stands united. This is the reason why a planet with such shallow foundations as Blue Star could quickly establish itself in the Extraordinary Cosmos.

Even sects, which are aloof from the Empire’s circles of power, have a consistent attitude when facing the Mysterious Clan, willing to shed blood with no hesitation.

It is precisely for this reason that the Great Xia Dynasty can tolerate the existence of sects, or perhaps it is the presence of sects that has, in fact, spurred the growth of students within the Martial Mansion.

A single dominant power is never a good thing.

And now, the seemingly impregnable Blue Star has been infiltrated by the Mysterious Clan.

Even though there is just one Mysterious Clan member, if there’s one, there might be two; this is a very bad sign.

Xu Lingjun probably doesn’t understand at all what it means to have captured this assassin alive... He can’t even imagine the upheaval this news has caused in the Imperial Capital.

Cangyuan City.

Sitting by the sea, with a pleasant climate, it is one of the rare tourist destinations among the thirty-six cities of the Great Xia Empire, and as the population grew, it gradually developed into an independent town.

Those fortunate enough to reside here are either rich or noble.

And inside a high school academy in the center of Cangyuan City.

All students were working hard for their future.

Students on the science side were diligently writing, for even last-minute preparation brings results, while those on the martial arts side were exhausting themselves on the fighting grounds.

This sweat may become the foundation for them to climb to the heights later on.

Amidst this fervent training period.

A fairly handsome young man, with dark circles under his eyes, clearly drained by indulgence, was boasting to several female classmates around him.

According to him, his father has already paved the way for him; he can enter the Central City Martial Mansion without taking exams. Although it doesn’t match the prestige of the Four Great Martial Mansions, it is still a first-rate Martial Mansion, and a private tutor has already been arranged for him there. As long as he follows the curriculum and cultivates, he has a bright future ahead.

It’s a sure thing.

And those female classmates, looking at the male student who transferred here, had eyes full of longing.

Their grades are average, and the best possible future is probably to become a civil servant, which still requires significant effort.

But now, there are clearly other choices.

Like... marrying into wealth...

Rumor has it that this young man attempted to hire an assassin to kill a fellow student but was caught red-handed by the Criminal Investigation Department.

Yet a crime that normally warrants execution was easily handled by his parents... and now he can transfer peacefully to this school and continue his studies; clearly, his parents’ abilities are extraordinary, far beyond just being wealthy or noble.

He was still showing off.

Outside the classroom, suddenly, more than ten armed police officers with guns and ammunition burst in.

The lively class instantly descended into chaos.

Facing a group of reserve martial artists, below the level of martial artists, these armed police officers were not lax at all, and the sound of bullets being loaded proved that these were not toy guns, and they were indeed filled with bullets.

Immediately, the classroom was filled with rising and falling screams of panic.

Among the crowd, the leader was a disciplined martial artist, who frowned as he looked at the noisy class and fired two shots at the ceiling.

Amid the pungent smell of gunpowder, everyone instantly fell silent, not daring to make a sound.

Yet screams erupted from the floors above, accompanied by cries of terror.

"Someone attacked the teacher."

"The big villain got shot... No, finally someone couldn’t bear it anymore and made a move on the dean."

"Run, quickly... everyone get to the shelter immediately."

............

The leader’s face slightly froze; he pretended not to hear, and sternly asked, "Who is Zhong Dawei?"

"I... I am."

Zhong Dawei, who had just been bragging, scrutinized these people suspiciously; they seemed nothing like those low-level armed police officers he saw on the street, but rather...

As he answered. freewēbnoveℓ.com

More than ten well-trained armed police officers quickly surrounded him, and the leader asked, "Three months ago, did you fund a martial artist intending to frame a classmate of the same grade at that time?"

Zhong Dawei was immediately puzzled, thinking, for this matter?

Could it be that the background of that pretty boy is so extensive, that even after I’ve arrived in Cangyuan City, he could still settle the score?

He stammered, "This, is... yes."

"Very well, you’re under arrest."

The person produced an arrest warrant and said, "We now suspect you of colluding with the Mysterious Clan. Please come with us to assist with the investigation!"

"Wha... what?!"

Zhong Dawei’s eyes widened in disbelief as he exclaimed, "That’s ridiculous, right? Me, colluding with the Mysterious Clan? I’m not even eighteen yet, I’m just a kid, I need to call my dad..."

"Your parents and family need to cooperate with the investigation as well. Come with us, you’ll meet them. Take him away."

Someone stepped forward to restrain Zhong Dawei and dragged him away.

"No! You can’t arrest me, I’m innocent, I’m not guilty. I just set up a classmate, how did it become colluding with the Mysterious Clan... I’m innocent..."

Zhong Dawei roared furiously, "My master is Martial Elder Xia, you can’t arrest me, I want to find my master, if you arrest me my master won’t let this go."

He shouted, jumped, but there was no resistance at all, just like that he was forcibly taken away.

His parents were taken away as well...

And in another city.

Someone else suffered the same fate as him.

When Li Zhonghan heard the charge of colluding with the Mysterious Clan, his first thought was... just how influential is this Xu Lingjun?

Could he be the secret son of the Emperor visiting incognito?

Even a charge like this could be pinned on me?

Then came a huge sense of despair.

Suspected of colluding with the Mysterious Clan, it appeared as merely suspicion, and it wasn’t even an arrest, just called for investigation, but being taken away so openly, even if cleared of guilt...

The past black history would surely be dredged up too.

If this crime doesn’t count, there are others.

Anyway, both Li Zhonghan and Zhong Dawei knew well, it’s over... this time, utterly over.

Not just them, their parents too are doomed.

With such a grave charge involved, the chances of getting out unscathed are nearly nonexistent.

And at this time, in Qingzhou City.

Inside the Criminal Investigation Department, Investigator Wu Jun solemnly looked at the report in his hands—this was the report and physical data of the captured Ming Step.

He glanced at it, then handed it to City Lord Yue Jinyan.

Yue Jinyan read it for a while, sneering, "Chi Yu Race, huh? Just as expected, I’ve heard that on Chi Yu Planet, the Execution by Owl Wing is only used against the most heinous criminals, who would have thought they could make such a decisive move, it’s indeed admirable!"

He asked, "Has the poison extracted from the assassin’s mouth been identified?"

"It’s not poison."

Yuan Tianqing replied, "It’s explosives!"

Yue Jinyan was surprised, "Not suicide by poison, but self-detonation? Could it be meant to die together with the enemy?"

"Or perhaps, used to destroy the corpse and hide traces."

Wu Jun adjusted his glasses, a gleam flashed in his eyes as he coldly said, "We have attempted to detonate the explosives, and then compared its explosive yield with all accidental explosions in the past decade... and found a very interesting data."

Yue Jinyan’s pupils contracted slightly in surprise, "These explosives are not isolated cases?"

"Or rather, the infiltration of our Great Xia Empire by Chi Yu Race isn’t an isolated incident, but organized and premeditated. The Empire has already collated all explosion data, and found over thirty cases with effects similar to these explosives; this means that more than thirty Chi Yu Race members have self-destructed for certain, and what about those who didn’t self-destruct?"

"It seems the Chi Yu Race’s ambitions are not small."

Saying this, he looked at a document in his hand puzzled.

He exclaimed in surprise, "The Li Group and Muzhong Corporation, they too have been implicated?"

These two enterprises once were the pillars of Qingzhou City, naturally, he remembered them.

"They had once attempted to assassinate a student named Xu Lingjun, and the arrest of this Chi Yu assassin is also related to Xu Lingjun, so they are suspects."

"Isn’t it a bit far-fetched?"

Wu Jun adjusted his glasses and said, "I’ve heard, when those documents were received in the Imperial Capital, a female official accidentally saw Xu Lingjun’s photo and said it’s alarming that they would target such an adorable child, and two assassinations aimed at the same person can’t have no connection... So why not investigate, if there’s no issue then release them."

"A female official, huh?"

Yue Jinyan recalled a breathtaking glimpse from that day, even as a man, he was amazed...

He instantly understood.

It’s all the trouble stirred up by beauty.
