"Jin Ping!"

With Bai Yueming's furious shout, he vanished from the office in an instant.

When he reappeared, Bai Yueming was already at the point where the disturbance had first begun to spread.

Standing before him was a sinister old man.

Beside the old man stood a youth holding a golden balance scale.

The most eye-catching things about the youth were the winged hat atop his head and the Winged Sandals on his feet.

Master Grade Red Quality card, God of Trade Hermes.

This was also the origin of Jin Ping's nickname, Ghost Scale.

At that moment, crimson card materials were continuously fed into the golden balance scale, while whispers proclaiming the completion of transactions echoed through the void.

"Jin Ping! You knew all along that we'd seen through your plan?!" The angrier Bai Yueming became, the calmer his mind grew.

He had now realized that the Association's scheme had been exposed.

"Hehehe." The sinister old man let out a strange laugh and said with a hint of regret, "If Xiao Wu hadn't happened to go deal with those little punks, you might really have fooled us."

Even the wisest person could make a mistake.

Bai Yueming now understood where the flaw had been: Brother Hu, whom Jiang Wang had let go.

But there had been no other choice. If they had not let Brother Hu return, the Spirit Summoning Society would have grown suspicious. In the end, they would either have launched their plan early or gone back into hiding.

A huge black-faced figure gradually appeared behind Bai Yueming. Taking a deep breath, Bai Yueming suppressed the rage in his heart and said word by word, "Then stay here."

Jin Ping sneered. "If you can manage it, then come at me!"

Why did Bai Yueming think he had come here? It was to keep him occupied.

Shanghai City—or rather, Great Ming.

The more chaotic it became, the better.

Back in the office, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Red Robe Judge was still inside. Bai Yueming had ultimately still placed these students' safety first.

Liu Jianghe cast a wary glance at the Red Robe Judge, then waved his hand angrily. "Get out!"

"All of you, get out!"

The students present had all been stunned dumb by the sudden turn of events.

But they had still caught the news that Jincai Credit had colluded with the Spirit Summoning Society.

They immediately prepared to take the elevator back down to the first floor.

But—

"Liu Jianghe, didn't you want to become Diamond Grade? Let me give you a hand right now. Heeheehee."

A sinister voice suddenly rang out in the chairman's office, making it feel as though the souls of every student present had frozen solid.

But with a cold snort from the Red Robe Judge, the students quickly returned to normal.

Meanwhile, Liu Jianghe began letting out agonized screams under everyone's horrified gazes.

"Ahhh!!!"

"This kind of Diamond Grade! This kind of Diamond Grade!"

"I hate this! Bai Yueming, Jin Ping, neither of you will die a good death!!"

Then Liu Jianghe's body slowly split apart and expanded, growing larger and larger.

Lu Su had already noticed something. "A dragon?"

That was right. Liu Jianghe was gradually transforming from a human body into a dragon's body.

If not for the fact that this dragon was made of crimson flesh and blood.

Liu Jianghe's voice gradually twisted.

"ROAR!!!"

The deafening roar shattered the glass on the top floor. The ever-growing dragon of flesh and blood wantonly destroyed the building's walls and structural supports.

"What are you standing around for? Run!" Lu Su cursed inwardly. He had not expected the Spirit Summoning Society to be capable of even this.

Shattered glass and chunks of wall continuously fell from above, setting off screams from the citizens below.

By then, Lu Su and the others had already left the top floor.

There was no way they could use the elevators in this situation. They could only flee through the fire escape.

The problem was that Jincai Credit's building was a full thirty-three stories tall!

And the constant tremors running through the building told the fleeing youths that it probably would not hold up for much longer.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed through Lu Su's mind, and he immediately stopped the students.

"Listen to me. I have a flying mount that can carry all of us down," Lu Su said, rapidly explaining his idea.

The students present exchanged glances, then all spoke up at once. "We're counting on you, Lu Shen."

"Lu Su, I'll never forget this debt for the rest of my life."

On the twenty-ninth floor, Lu Su was the first to push open the fire door.

But the office area that came into view left him frozen once again.

Several Flesh Demons he had encountered before in the Secret Realm stood before him.

Seeing the shredded uniforms on the Flesh Demons, Lu Su realized that these demons had likely once been ordinary employees working at Jincai Credit.

"Spirit Summoning Society!"

Lu Su practically ground out the name of the culprits through clenched teeth.

The youths behind him asked in confusion, "What is it, Lu Su? What's inside?"

Lu Su fell silent and merely stepped aside.

When everyone saw the scene before them, they were struck speechless.

But they were all geniuses, after all. Connecting Bai Yueming's words on the top floor with Liu Jianghe's behavior, they could not help but feel both relieved and furious. "Good thing we didn't sign those contracts."

"Yeah. It's just a pity for these ordinary people."

But there was no time for them to lament now.

Lu Su immediately summoned Luffy, Kaneki, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi, instantly clearing out the few Flesh Demons present.

Kong Cong could not help taking a few extra looks at Kaneki. He had not expected Lu Su to possess a creature card as well.

And judging from his attack just now, he was clearly no weaker than Kong Cong's Bo.

He's monstrously strong, Lu Su, Kong Cong silently marveled.

But now was not the time to think about that.

Kaneki's Kagune instantly shattered the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

Summoning Pidgeot, Lu Su said to the others with a grave expression, "You go down first. I'll stay here and leave last."

Everyone froze at his words. They had not expected Lu Su to choose to go down last.

Logically speaking, Pidgeot was his card. Even if he chose to go down first and then had Pidgeot come back up to fetch them, no one would have blamed him.

"Lu Su."

Hearing his name and seeing through everyone's hesitation, Lu Su frowned deeply and barked, "What are you still dawdling for?!"

The students immediately stopped hesitating. They could save their thanks until everyone had made it out alive!

As Pidgeot carried one person after another down to the ground, Lu Su was eventually the only one left.

Looking at the office area, now a complete mess, Lu Su could not help letting out a breath of relief. "Good thing nothing went wrong."

Just as he was about to loot the corpses through tears and take away the few materials that had just condensed, a deafening crash came from above.

Boom!

A massive crimson figure smashed through the ceiling and landed before Lu Su.

As the smoke gradually dispersed, Lu Su finally saw what the figure looked like.

"Ho ho. Eat, eat, eat."

With heavy rasping breaths, thick saliva dripped from the corner of the massive crimson figure's mouth.

There was also a bloody, enormous mouth on its abdomen.

Seeing the familiar shredded suit on the monster, Lu Su muttered two words. "President Bai."

So none of Jincai Credit's people had escaped this after all.
