CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 34: DANGEROUS WOMAN

"Ma’am, you don’t want the cops to find out about the hidden tools, do you?"

"You there! Take off the dance shoes and show those feet!"

"And you! What are you reaching for in your pants? Let me see!"

"..."

The exit outside Heaven and Earth.

Wu Liang squatted here, continuously picking out people with supernatural tools among those coming downstairs.

The way to make them voluntarily hand over the tools was actually simple—threats.

He had the Mist Ghost lay down Ghost Walls at all exits.

Ordinary people, realizing the fire behind them and unable to find a way out ahead, would panic and flail like headless chickens.

But those holding the supernatural tools, feeling the fire growing inside the Ghost Walls, would instinctively try every means to escape.

As they used the supernatural tools, Wu Liang and the Mist Ghost would know who was problematic.

That’s when the threats would come in!

"Either die in the fire or hand the tools over!" Wu Liang had lost count of how many times he’d said this.

Anyway, he already had a dozen or so various bizarre supernatural tools under his hand!

For some who couldn’t escape because of the intense fire, Wu Liang had the Mist Ghost bring them all out of the building and then threw them into the Ghost Wall for testing!

So far, it looked like everyone in Heaven and Earth had escaped.

All the customers were also regaining consciousness.

This indirectly proved all the staff’s supernatural tools had been taken by Wu Liang.

Now only one problem remained—where was the mastermind?

There were no more people in the burning building, but none of the tools he had were the source; they were all artificially made products.

Could the person who made them not be in the building?

Wu Liang wasn’t in a rush about this; after all, he never planned to do all the work alone.

From the moment the fire started, wasn’t it already prepared to escalate the situation and hand it over to the authorities and police for handling?

"Kid, you’re really gutsy, deliberately setting a fire in the city causing such severe property damage, that’s at least ten years’ sentence, right?"

Just as Wu Liang was about to leave with the tools, a calm female voice suddenly appeared by his ear.

The words made him shiver as he grabbed the bag of tools, instantly pulling back over five meters.

A woman with waist-length hair slowly stepped out of the shadows where he had just stood.

She wore a gorgeous gown, adorned with expensive jewelry, and even her elegantly styled hair made Wu Liang’s heart skip a beat.

Escaping from such a big fire, she didn’t have a trace of mess on her!

The most crucial point was she had gotten close enough to speak in his ear, yet he hadn’t noticed her at all!

Could this woman be the mastermind!?

"Ha, a sentence? If I could be sentenced to ten years, these little gadgets of yours might end up getting a bullet, won’t they?" Wu Liang weighed the bag in his hand and said.

Behind him, the Mist Ghost silently released thick mist that couldn’t be sensed, quietly covering this alley.

If she were an Awakened, a fight would likely ensue!

The wealth Heaven and Earth brought daily was unimaginable, and having set this cash cow on fire, Wu Liang didn’t believe she would calmly have tea and chat with him.

"The swelling desire, greed for money, the extreme pleasure didn’t consume you... not letting you sink is not quite right; it’s better to say you remained almost unaffected, so steadfast inside?"

"And you’re quite skilled, must have regular exercise, is that guy behind you the one doing the shady stuff your brother?"

"No wonder you dared to break windows and jump, I thought you had some physical strengthening Awakened Ability, turns out it was your brother’s protection."

The woman didn’t pay any mind to Wu Liang, simply speaking her deductions out loud.

But every word she said made Wu Liang’s scalp tingle a bit!

She could see the Mist Ghost!?

This was the first person who had seen his Fierce Ghost Minion since Wu Liang subdued the Fierce Ghost!

"Who exactly are you? I’ll give you ten seconds to answer, or I’ll have to resort to a physical interrogation!" Wu Liang unexpectedly smiled.

He then threw the bag to the ground, raised his fists, and took a stance as if preparing to fight.

Seeing this, the woman spoke in the same flat tone, "Oh? An interrogation? Then go ahead, try."

Whoosh—

Before the words were fully out, Wu Liang was already in front of her, alongside his quick step forward was a straight punch aimed at her face!

"It’s not polite to hit a woman’s face." Though surprised by Wu Liang’s speed, she remained expressionless, sidestepping to evade.

Yet at the moment she sidestepped, Wu Liang’s straight punch abruptly opened into a claw aimed downward.

From the face down was the neck, and below the neck was... voluminous!

At that moment, the woman’s calm facade finally cracked, gritting her teeth she said, "Pervert!"

Sidestepping couldn’t dodge this brat’s claw, so she was forced to attempt to block Wu Liang’s incoming attack with her hand.

However, Wu Liang seemed to have anticipated her move, his hand already claw-shaped, firmlygrabbing her wrist and locking it in place.

Before the woman could react, Wu Liang smoothly stepped forward, stabilizing his stance, and pulled her towards him, using his shoulder as a fierce ramming point.

This Iron Mountain Lean was like a charging train.

Solidly hitting the woman, launching her three to four meters, stopping only after colliding with a wall.

"Cough cough! Grasping psychological gaps instantly, such judgment isn’t typical for a college student, impressive..."

The woman coughed twice, her blood stirring inside not yet calming down, the prior hit made her feel her insides were jumbled up like her five organs had been displaced, the force was vast, seemingly with no restraint.

The reason she didn’t continue to be angry was she realized Wu Liang’s seemingly perverted move earlier wasn’t to cop a feel.

It was simply to force her to block with her hand, allowing him to lock her wrist and land an Iron Mountain Lean!

"You’re flattering me too much, ma’am; is there anything else you need to test me on?" Wu Liang cheekily retracted his hand and stood firm.

This sentence left the woman momentarily stunned.

Ma’am? Test?

Had he guessed her identity!?

"When did you..."

"Right when you mentioned my brother, I guessed it," Wu Liang pointed at the Mist Ghost behind him confidently, "As of now, only Captain He and his team know about my brother, and that was only discovered the day before yesterday, could there be a mole in the officials leaking information?"

"Moreover, this mission is particularly unusual, the difficulty isn’t meant for a novice investigator like me."

"Your appearance offers a perfect explanation."

"You must at least be on par with Captain He to have intel on my brother or be skilled enough to infiltrate and steal official info."

"If you were that good, I wouldn’t have been able to start the fire."

Watching Wu Liang speak his deductions with confidence, the woman frowned, pondering something.

This kid’s reaction was genuinely surprising, deducing so much from just a sentence.

Hmm? Wait? Something isn’t right...

"Since you know I’m from the department, why didn’t you hold back earlier! Jerk!" Her expression was now one of anger and gritted teeth.

"Were you doing that on purpose!?"
