Pledge of Loyalty

Upon hearing Lu Bai's words, Simba's eyes flickered slightly.

To be honest, after Lu Bai defeated him head-on, he had already planned to retreat with the students of Taijima.

It was only because Prison Guard intervened that they had to join forces with the people of Chikan Bay to fight the enemy.

The situation is now clear, and Lu Bai has demonstrated this strange new power. As long as Simba is not out of his mind, he will not choose to start another war.

The problem is that Lu Bai's words implied that he intended to bring him under his command.

As the pinnacle of Weidao High School, Simba's agreement would represent the submission of the entire Ojima power.

This was something he found hard to accept from any perspective.

But he didn't dare refuse, so he had to resort to stalling tactics.

After hesitating for a long time, Simba finally stammered, "Mr. Lu... this Spokesperson is of great importance. Could we please go back and think about it first?"

"Oh?"

Lu Bai an eyebrow. "Are you looking down on me?"

No, that's not what I meant.

Simba has always preferred to solve problems with violence, so I really don't know how to handle this situation.

The other two faction leaders who still retained some fighting strength both kept their eyes down and adhered to the principle that silence is golden.

Let the apex of Tail Island deal with this difficult problem.

A She opened his mouth as if to say something, but was afraid that if he didn't organize his words well, he would only escalate the conflict.

"What exactly do you people mean?"

Lou Yunyi, relying on Lu Bai's backing, urged, "Would it be a loss to follow a man like the Spokesperson? Or is it that your Wei Island looks down on our Chikan Bay?"

What he said made no sense, and even carried a hint of low-class arrogance, yet these bigwigs from Weidao High School dared not refute him.

Lu Bai chuckled and raised his hand to press down, signaling his younger brother to calm down.

After a pause, he added, "I won't force you. How about this, you stay in Chikan Bay and think it over, then come back to me when you've made up your minds, okay?"

Simba licked his slightly chapped lips.

Influenced by the broken windows theory, he accepted the request.

"Alright then."

Lu Bai clapped his hands. "Next, I still need to deal with these Prison Guards."

As he spoke, his gaze naturally shifted to the Section Chief opposite him.

Misa, Heide, and the others had been intently observing Lu Bai's movements, and upon noticing his gaze, they dared not linger in their original spots any longer.

Completely disregarding the thoughts of the numerous Prison Guard present, all three Section Chief quickly slipped away from the scene.

The Prison Guard present, seeing their Warden still in a chaotic and strange state, and the three Section Chief fleeing faster than rabbits, instantly lost their will to fight.

Faced with this situation, even if there were still some determined Prison Guard who were willing to fight the evil to the death, they were indeed a minority. The vast majority of Prison Guard ran after the evil without looking back.

Forget about armored vehicles piled up on the streets; even heavy weapons were simply discarded.

The Prison Guard escaped so decisively that even Lu Bai was stunned for a couple of seconds.

They're supposed to be an official force, how come they're acting like bandits?

Thirteen Yao seemed to sense Lu Bai's confusion and said quietly, "Don't be surprised. These cops aren't good people to begin with. Many businesses in Chikan Bay have connections with the cops."

"Hmm..."

Lu Bai nodded knowingly and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, everyone get back to work."

Even after the war ends, a lot of cleanup work awaits them.

After all, although the main battlefield was the Nanxing Street area, most areas of Chikan Bay were also affected to varying degrees.

It will probably take some time before things get back on track.

Of course, there were many things to do, but fortunately, his subordinates handled all of them, so Lu Bai didn't need to do it himself.

Lu Bai shifted his gaze to Warden Xiong Pi was not far away.

The most urgent task now is to get the Node from this person as soon as possible.

Yes, Lu Bai is certain that the Node is not Xiong Pi himself.

When he came into contact with the Xiong Pi, no countdown timer for acquiring the Node popped up.

This means that the Node to this Deathmatch Arena is not the Xiong Pi, but something on the Xiong Pi.

At this moment, the Xiong Pi was still under "electrotherapy," lying on the ground twitching, with saliva uncontrollably drooling from the corner of its mouth.

Lu Bai walked to Xiong Pi's side. Thanks to Xiong Pi's ferocious appearance earlier, no thugs dared to approach.

He waved his hand, dispelling the darkness in front of the Xiong Pi's retina.

However, even after regaining its sight, the Xiong Pi still rolled its eyes dramatically, albeit somewhat abstractly. "Uh... you... hiss, you dare..."

Lu Bai did not reply, but looked at the Xiong Pi on the ground with a scrutinizing gaze.

As to what exactly this "Node" is, Lu Bai had a guess in his mind.

The martial arts training system in this world is clearly a process of continuously compressing the density of Internal Energy.

From gaseous to liquid to solid.

These correspond to acquired, innate, and Grandmaster, respectively.

The Warden's designation of the next realm as the Golden Core was clearly not unfounded.

Perhaps the "Node" in this Deathmatch Arena is this so-called Golden Core, which is further compressed from solid Internal Energy.

Lu Bai squatted down next to the Xiong Pi, rubbing his chin.

"How do I remove it?"

Shrimp Claypot Rice.

"Whatever you want, whatever I have."

The Xiong Pi pursed its lips, its eyes darting away.

Seeing Xiong Pi's seemingly changed attitude, Lu Bai felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Although he knew that the [Electronic Succubus] ability might have some problems, its outstanding effects still made it somewhat difficult for him to adapt.

After a moment of silence, to ease the awkwardness, Lu Bai turned and waved towards the semi-open kitchen next door. "Sister Shrimp, please hurry up."

It is now the second day after the chaos.

Thanks to the close cooperation of all parties, some shops in Chikan Bay have gradually resumed business after a full day.

The people of Weidao Island did not secretly leave Chikan Bay, nor did they come to Lu Bai to express their submission.

Thousands of people just lingered on Nanxing Street, perhaps hoping that Lu Bai would forget about it after a while.

On the contrary, it was Xiong Pi, the Warden.

Even though Lu Bai had turned off the power to him and restored his mobility, he still couldn't bring himself to attack Lu Bai.

Moreover, not long after he left with a furious expression, before it was even dark, he slunk back, his first words being to offer his loyalty to Lu Bai.

Sister Shrimp quickly placed two bowls of claypot rice on a plate on the Desktop for the two of them.

Lu Bai sighed softly, "Now that things have come to this, let's eat first."
