Great Chaos

Chapter 46: Great Chaos

"Take her away."

Seeing that she had confessed, Leo didn't bother with any more nonsense.

"Wuwu, I was wrong!"

Accompanied by cries, the female student was dragged away.

Leo scanned the remaining examinees. At this moment, none of them dared to meet his gaze. Even those who were innocent lowered their heads. They had never seen such a scene before and were all extremely flustered.

"Starting from the back row, one by one, take your belongings and go out for re-inspection!"

Su Ming was the first to get up, gathered his things, and walked out under Leo's watchful eye.

In the corridor outside the classroom, soldiers were specifically in charge of the inspections. They had even set up sophisticated inspection equipment in the corridor.

Su Ming glanced over and could clearly see students from other examination rooms being brought out one by one for re-inspection.

Several were caught with cheating tools on the spot and were immediately dragged away, crying and wailing.

Su Ming watched this scene, his expression becoming increasingly interesting. He hadn't expected anyone to dare to cheat in such an important City Exam, and the number of people was not small.

Just then, Su Ming suddenly saw the green-haired examinee, who was undergoing inspection, suddenly being pressed down by the inspecting officer.

"What is this?"

The soldier sternly questioned.

"I don't know what this is. It's not mine."

Green Hair pleaded fearfully.

It was no use. The inspecting officer unceremoniously announced:

"Cheating!"

Upon hearing the verdict, Green Hair wilted like a frost-beaten eggplant and was completely subdued.

At this moment, Red Hair was also dragged out of the classroom by a soldier. He lowered his head, looking resigned.

Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly at the sight.

Red Hair and Green Hair, those two idiots, were actually foolish enough to take the wrong path. But it made sense when he thought about it. Although they had been taking tutoring classes with Teacher Tang Yan, their baseline scores had always hovered around 90, still a significant gap from 120.

Now that these two were caught, there should be one more.

These three had always been thick as thieves, so they must have been up to no good together.

Since Yellow Hair wasn't seen being caught here, he was most likely in another school's examination room.

Thinking of this, Su Ming shook his head slightly.

Thirteenth District Center - Administrative Office Building.

Xiao Lie sat at his desk, holding a cup of hot tea. He blew on the steam, took a sip, and said, "Ailan, how many students do you think our Thirteenth District will have admitted into Imperial Court Academy this year?"

"This year should be better than previous years. I heard Haiheng Academy has produced quite a few geniuses, and perhaps someone will even be able to get into the Inner Academy."

A woman wearing a beige shirt, a black pencil skirt, red high heels, with her long hair tied up, and a delicate face replied respectfully.

"Is that so? If we really get students into the Inner Academy, that would be wonderful."

Xiao Lie replied with a good mood.

Just then, Ye Wei rushed into the office and shouted at Xiao Lie, "Lord Xiao, something's wrong."

Xiao Lie was startled, his hand trembled, and tea splashed out. He then said to Ye Wei with some displeasure, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"The Imperial Court Cult suddenly appeared and took over all the examination rooms. All our security personnel have been kicked out!"

Ye Wei said, panting.

"What did you say? Why would the Imperial Court Cult be here?"

Xiao Lie placed his teacup heavily on the table and asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Xiao, I don't know why the Imperial Court Cult is here, but everything is in chaos now. I heard they caught many students cheating, especially from the First Academy. Many were caught. And the students who were caught were all escorted by people from the Imperial Court Cult onto armed transport vehicles and sent to Starlight City. I heard they're all being sent to the front lines!"

Ye Wei continued.

Xiao Lie's expression kept changing as he heard Ye Wei's words.

Ye Wei anxiously said to Xiao Lie, "Lord Xiao, many of the students from the First Academy are children of important figures in our Thirteenth District. Sending them to the front lines is a matter of life and death!"

"What does that have to do with me? They brought it upon themselves!"

Xiao Lie angrily slammed his fist on the table and replied irritably.

Seeing Xiao Lie's outburst, Ye Wei dared not speak further and quickly shut his mouth.

They were well aware of the cheating situation, after all.

Imperial Court Academy was incredibly difficult to get into, and with the Thirteenth District's limited resources, very few could pass through the regular entrance exams. So, some capable individuals chose to take a shortcut and cheat their way in.

They had turned a blind eye to this matter.

However, they hadn't expected the Federation to directly deploy the Imperial Court Cult this time and take over the City Exam. Now, everyone had been caught red-handed.

At this moment, Ailan softly said to the furious Xiao Lie.

"Lord Xiao, even if the children are disappointing, they are still our children. While it's understandable to be angry, we still need to find a way to handle this."

Ring ring~

At that moment, the phone and mobile phone on Xiao Lie's desk both rang.

Xiao Lie glanced at the caller ID and didn't pick up. He knew without a doubt that these calls were to plead for leniency.

Unfortunately, this time was different from the past. The Imperial Court Cult was not someone he could influence or interfere with. However, Ailan's words had moved him. As angry as he was, he couldn't completely ignore the situation, otherwise, things would truly fall into chaos here.

So, he spoke to Ye Wei.

"Ye Wei, go and find out! Which official from the Imperial Court Cult is in charge here."

"Understood, I'll go right away."

Ye Wei immediately rushed out.

Thirteenth District - Interstellar Military Airport Area.

A Level 4 battleship, the Fish Pig, stretching ten kilometers long with a rounded hull covered in smooth, gray armor, was docked here.

Inside the ship's command center, a middle-aged man with sharp facial features, thick eyebrows, white at the temples, deep-set eyes, and an imposing demeanor, dressed in a Major General's uniform, sat steadily in the command chair.

The massive operation screen in front of him displayed a series of grid-like images, each corresponding to a testing site.

From the visuals, it was clear that each testing site was in disarray.

Just then, a woman with long black hair, a delicate appearance, and a Colonel's uniform walked over and spoke.

"General Amos, all troops have successfully taken over the testing sites. All individuals caught cheating are currently being escorted here."

"Xia An, don't report such matters to me anymore. Send them all to the front lines."

"Understood."

"Also, once the screening is complete, start the exam immediately!"

Amos gave his orders in a deep voice.

"I'll relay the message now. Also, District Chief Xiao Lie of the Thirteenth District wishes to request a meeting with you."

Xia An reported next.

"No."

Amos stated unfeelingly.

"Yes!"

Xia An replied respectfully.
