A Mess Left Behind
Lin Qimeng blushed bright red after being hugged by Old Wang, and then nodded.
Seeing this, Old Wang waved to him and left with the police. He wasn't worried about this at all, because there was nothing to worry about.
After he dealt with that person, he suddenly understood many things.
He felt that he had suppressed himself too much in the past, and that he didn't really need to do so.
As someone with extraordinary abilities, why doesn't he seek revenge and settle scores more quickly?
When Old Wang and the police returned to the Police Station for questioning, the video of his battle with Xiao Guang's Mecha was quickly uploaded to the internet.
Given his reputation Lord of the Elements, he was quickly recognized.
"Is this the Lord of the Elements of the Thousand King? Has he gotten too cocky? Openly summoning Mecha in the street?"
"I don't know if he's gotten arrogant or not, I only know he got into trouble."
"It was probably self-defense, right? From the video, it's clear that the other side summoned their Mecha first."
"The specifics are unclear; let's wait for the official announcement!"
The members of the Future Guild had been keeping a close eye on the online comments, but this time, unlike the flood of malicious comments they had imagined, the online community was quite indifferent to the incident.
They didn't unanimously blame Old Wang; they viewed the situation very calmly.
Moreover, those behind the scenes haven't come forward; it's unclear what they're worried about.
Perhaps their consciences were awakened, perhaps they were terrified by how Old Wang had swiftly turned the enemy's Mecha into a "human pig," or perhaps it was something else entirely.
In short, they stopped causing trouble online. However, even though they didn't cause any more trouble, Old Wang's trip to the Police Station didn't go smoothly.
Even though Old Wang had already given the police all the information he obtained from Ling, they had no intention of letting Old Wang go.
The matter of summoning the Mecha for self-defense is actually over; the police kept Old Wang there because of that Holy Ten.
"Can you tell me how you found out about that organization?" someone asked Old Wang in the interrogation room.
"No!" Old Wang said simply and directly once again.
There's no way to explain Zero's situation to them, because if things go wrong, humanity will face Omnic Crisis.
He's happy just playing games peacefully; he has no desire to fight against Skynet.
"If you can't, then stay here. Based on your behavior, we will place you under 24-hour JL." After saying that, the man left.
24 hours is the limit of what Old Wang has done wrong. As for the issue of compensation to the street and pedestrians, that needs to be determined by the court.
Old Wang's case is a minor matter, but Xiao Guang's is a major one. Premeditated murder, illegally using my Mana Mech, commercial espionage, and so on—none of these crimes are minor.
Old Wang didn't say anything upon hearing this, but he might have to miss tomorrow's team selection, though he was confident about the Future.
Even without his Future appearance, it wouldn't be difficult, and the rules allow for two absences.
He didn't have the time to hire a lawyer to argue, so he treated the day as a rest and a good opportunity to think about what path he should take in the future.
On his way to the cell, he also contacted Lin Qimeng and told them not to wait for him tomorrow.
"Boss, we have a new guy!"
In a place like this, it's impossible to give Old Wang a single room; his room already houses five people.
With Old Wang included, there are exactly six people, which is the maximum number.
Judging from their attire and the injuries on their faces, they must have been brought in for a fight, Old Wang ignored them.
Who are these people, around their age, who are still involved in fights and brawls?
Anyone with the intelligence of someone who has graduated from elementary school wouldn't be doing something like this at their age.
What era are we living in? Still joining gangs?
While some people may indeed be caught in a situation beyond their control, ultimately it is all their own fault.
After entering the room, Old Wang ignored them and found his bed, lying down.
Just as he Thought about something, a pillow flew towards him, and Old Wang instinctively punched it back.
Then he stood up, looked at the group of thugs, and found them smiling at him.
The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease; it seems I have become a tool for their amusement.
Old Wang didn't say anything, but walked towards them. The thugs looked at Old Wang slowly approaching and for some reason felt as if they were being watched by some dangerous animal.
After several people swallowed simultaneously, their leader's voice trembled slightly as he spoke:
"You... you... what are you going to do? I'm telling you... think carefully about where you are, don't make a mistake!"
Old Wang ignored him and went to a thug's bed. He flicked his index finger at the iron railing of the bed, and the railing immediately twisted.
Upon witnessing this scene, the group was terrified.
Old Wang nodded as he watched this scene; his physical fitness was indeed still improving. Then he put his index finger to his lips and said:
I like quiet!
After Old Wang finished speaking, he went back to bed. The thugs didn't dare to breathe, and one of them even held back a fart, his face turning pale from holding it in.

The next day
While Old Wang was still Thought life in bed, the qualifying rounds for the Team Competition began.
Because of yesterday's events, the Future Guild is truly in the spotlight today.
"Since we didn't see the Thousand King, should we take advantage of this information?"
"It's no use, they received the message that he was released within 24 hours!"
"Seriously, shouldn't we take advantage of this opportunity? It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance; if used well, it could severely cripple them!"
"Absolutely not! This is no small matter; whoever touches it will die!"
"Is it really that exaggerated? It's because several President from the 'Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon' guild, who bribed those people to try and make the Thousand King of Gamblers miss this competition, have been taken away for investigation."
"So terrifying!"
"Yes!"
After learning that Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon Old Wang had been captured, the four Lord became extremely excited.
Without conducting any investigation, they used their connections to try and get Old Wang detained for a longer period of time.
In this day and age, they don't ask anything of him; they just want him to miss this event.
However, their request was discovered by the Special Investigation Team established to target the Holy Ten as soon as it was sent out, and then their entire management team was taken away.
Based on these people's intelligence, Old Wang felt they had nothing to do with Holy Ten Ken Ge.
However, they are suspected of accepting and receiving bribes, which is a serious problem. Although there is little evidence, it hasn't brought them down yet.
Old Wang knew these things really had nothing to do with him, and he could get out in a day.
They're not so lucky; they're definitely going to miss today's team match.
While the Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon was incredibly stubborn, it was also incredibly unlucky. A series of mishaps recently meant that if they hadn't had a strong financial foundation, the guild would have collapsed long ago.
We finally managed to recover during this period, and then this happens again. The guild members are absolutely furious!
The competition started quickly, and it was a normal one-on-one battle, one match in the morning and one match in the afternoon, to determine the top 1000 teams.
Since there aren't many teams that meet the registration requirements, two matches are enough.
The specific gameplay involves throwing two teams onto the same map; it's essentially Battle Royale Mode, just with two large teams Battle Royale Mode.
The teams matched in the game were of very different skill levels, and it was basically a one-sided victory for both sides.
However, there were still some unexpected events, but not with the Future Guild.
Although Old Wang only participated in the second game of the Future two matches, he easily crushed his opponents in both.
Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon, the entire leadership of the "Romantic Romance" group disappeared. After a very difficult victory in the first round, problems arose in the second round.
They encountered the team of the Heavenly Thunder Mecha, who had obtained the level 30 Legendary Weapon Elemental Orb.
The Heavenly Thunder Mecha is already a Rare Mecha that excels in team battles, and its Legendary Weapon makes it even more terrifying.
Moreover, because some top players and commanders were absent, no one could limit his performance, and he went on a killing spree.
Although the Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon group fought desperately, they were ultimately defeated by the rolling Heavenly Thunder, losing by a margin of three.
The unexpected elimination of Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon and Moon, one of the top 10 guilds in the game, was truly surprising to many and caused some to go bankrupt.
Then they were met with countless insults from Player, and the investors behind them were completely disappointed.
Two days later, when their guild's higher-ups came out, they found that the world had changed.
What was once a perfectly good guild has been reduced to a complete mess.
