Councilor (Part Two)

Hongning Base City, Extreme Martial Arts Hall Headquarters, Inside the Giant Spaceship Building.

Hong, the man in black, sat cross-legged on the cushion, while Liu He and Iceberg sat on the cushion opposite him, their backs ramrod straight.

"You mean Luo Zhe has already reached the Councilor Level?" The black-clad man's slightly gentle yet still powerful voice rang out. He put down the test report in his hand, looked directly at his two capable subordinates, and a slight smile seemed to appear on Hong's lips.

"Yes, Chief Hall Master," Liu He replied respectfully.

"This time, Iceberg and I went to County 0201 for reconnaissance. At the battlefield, we found a fragment of Li Yao's heart. After testing, it was confirmed that Li Yao's physical condition had reached the Councilor Level."

"However, even so, during the battle, Luo Zhe still managed to kill him directly!"

"Furthermore, according to our intelligence," Liu He paused, "this Li Yao once entered the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins and obtained a piece of the ' Black God ' set! That means—"

"In other words, Luo Zhe killed a councilor who possessed the ' Black God ' suit." The man in black, Hong, nodded and pondered, "Hmm, it seems Luo Zhe's growth rate is much faster than I imagined. It seems letting him leave the Training Camp was actually a step in his development. It's time to make contact with him and have him join the Supreme Council of the War God Palace."

"That's how it should be."

Liu He hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, "But Master, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Hong frowned slightly, glanced at Liu He, and said in a slightly cold voice, "Speak."

Liu He felt a slight chill in his heart. After carefully considering his words, he said, "In County 0201, Iceberg and I discovered that although Luo Zhe has the strength of Councilor Level, his bloodthirstiness is far too great." Iceberg, wearing Golden Mask, hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"Too bloodthirsty?" Hong's gaze lingered on the two, a questioning look on his face.

"Yes." Liu He bowed his head slightly.

"As the saying goes, 'Killing someone is just a matter of beheading them,' but Luo Zhe not only killed Li Yao, he also dismembered him. Such actions are a bit too extreme. I'm worried that if Luo Zhe isn't punished for this, the other councilors might object."

"There's no need to say more about this."

Hong gestured to stop Liu He from continuing, "Hmph, these councilors these days are all bullies among themselves! They're all incompetent at dealing with monsters, making excuses and delaying, but they're quick to turn their blades on their own people. Do they really think I don't know what they're up to behind the scenes?"

"Anyone capable of killing a councilor in the Black God Set wouldn't dare cause trouble. Besides— Thor and I have both met Luo Zhe, and I can tell he's not the bloodthirsty type. There must be a reason for this."

"Yes." Liu He dared not say anything more; he could already sense Hong's displeasure.

Before Hong, the mere presence of that invisible aura was enough to make people involuntarily bow their heads, without a single thought of resistance. It was like an ant before a dragon; the difference in strength was too great, and they could only bow their heads.

Even beings like Liu He and Iceberg Shan, Beyond War God, were extremely respectful and obedient like children in front of Hong.

All of this stems from Hong's godlike power!

"Liu He, I'm entrusting you with the entire responsibility of recruiting Luo Zhe into the Supreme Council of the War God Palace. I don't want to hear of any unexpected events happening. Do you understand what I mean?" Hong's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes, Master. Liu He will remember." Liu He quickly stood up, bowed slightly to Hong, and then left the quiet room.

Outside the quiet room, Liu He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking visibly shaken.

******

In Villa No. 199, Bright Moon Residential Area, Yangzhou City, one of the Eight Satellite Cities in the Jiangnan Base City.

Several months have passed, but everything in the house remains exactly as it was before. A housekeeper comes to clean every day, so there isn't a speck of dust.

Although Luo Zhe did not choose to join any faction after leaving the Elite Training Camp, the managers of the Yangzhou City Extreme General Hall still tacitly acknowledged that Villa No. 199 in Bright Moon Residential Area belonged to Luo Zhe.

Therefore, Luo Zhe did not expect to end up sleeping on the streets after returning.

Not long after Luo Zhe returned to Bright Moon Residential Area, Luo Feng, who lived in the villa next door, knocked on Luo Zhe's door.

"Huh? Luo Feng, what brings you here?" Luo Feng's ability to discover his return so quickly was somewhat unexpected for Luo Zhe. "Shouldn't you be in the main city taking Teacher Yang's A-level test right now?"

"Mr. Yang said I need to pass a Level B test to enter the Elite Training Camp, but the application process for the Level B test in the Base City is quite complicated." Luo Feng shrugged. "Besides, whether I succeed or fail, I will go to the Global Headquarters anyway, so the chairman suggested that we go directly to the headquarters to take the Level B test. That way, it will actually be simpler."

"Brother Zhe, are you alright? Who were those people who invited you to County 0201? Weren't you supposed to be at the Elite Training Camp? Why are you back all of a sudden?"

Luo Feng's barrage of questions left Luo Zhe momentarily at a loss for words. Scratching his head, he thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with my time in the Training Camp."

Luo Zhe spent some time explaining what had happened to him in the Training Camp, and also briefly described what had happened to him in County 0201 and his current strength.

Luo Feng was utterly dumbfounded, stammering, "So... so, you... you're now a being Beyond War God of War?"

That's an existence Beyond War God!

Such a person is someone who can be treated as an equal by an entire nation! The nation has to appease and fawn over such a person; they are absolutely the pinnacle of human society.

Just like at the memorial service for the deceased senior Lu Gang, as soon as the person named ' Zhu Xi ' appeared, all the high-ranking members of the surrounding families, conglomerates, political circles, military circles, and even the most powerful War God gods eagerly came forward to greet him.

This kind of being is like a god among humans.

Good heavens!

Zhe Ge has actually become such a being! How long has he been Fighter!?

"I haven't broken through to the War God Level yet; I'm still at the peak of the High-level War God." Luo Zhe waved his hand and explained, "However, I have a special method whose power is comparable to that of an ordinary 'Councilor' level expert."

"A councilor?" Luo Feng asked curiously, "Councilor Level? Is that the level that Beyond War God?"

"Yes." Luo Zhe nodded.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful sonic boom, several times the speed of sound, exploded in mid-air, the sound like the muffled thunder after a flash of lightning.

Luo Zhe and the other person subconsciously looked up.

"Above the villa," Luo Feng said.

Luo Zhe nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go, let's go out and take a look."

The two went outside together and looked up at the sky. Hundreds of meters above, a purplish-red triangular fighter jet was steadily hovering, and a figure was quietly hovering beside the fighter jet's cockpit door.

The figure seemed to have noticed Luo Zhe and Luo Feng, and immediately flew straight down towards them.

Instinctively, Luo Zhe pulled Luo Feng behind him, his eyes fixed on the descending figure, and said, "It's a powerful councilor. If I fight him later, you'd better take your parents and leave Bright Moon Residential Area quickly."

Fighter have very sharp ears, and Liu He overheard Luo Zhe's words. He naturally knew that the other party might have misunderstood his identity, so before he had fully landed, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, we're on the same side."

After landing and regaining his footing, Liu He glanced at Luo Feng's left arm around Luo Zhe, his gaze softening slightly. His gentle voice rang out, "Hello, Councilor Luo. I apologize for forgetting to introduce myself. I am Liu He, one of the five Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall."

"Inspector?"

Luo Zhe's gaze swept over Liu He, and he didn't seem to harbor any hostility. So he pulled Luo Feng out from behind him, and together they bowed to Liu He, saying, "May I ask what brings Inspector Liu here today? And where did this talk of a councilor come from?"

"Councilor Luo, you're too kind. I wouldn't dare accept such an order."

Liu He waved his hand and smiled, "It's like this, Councilor Luo, your strength has been recognized by our Chief Hall Master, who believes you are fully qualified for the position of councilor. Therefore, the Grand Master specially sent me to invite you to join the Supreme Council of the War God Palace."
