Chapter 682: Chapter 455: Explosive News

“Mu Fan, you look so eerie right now…”

Black’s voice eerily resonated.

Mu Fan blinked his eyes, feeling that he indeed looked quite strange.

Moreover, in this state, he strangely didn’t mind it.

“What do you think is the background of Senior Sister Lu?”

Mu Fan looked at his reflection in the glass wall, but he was speaking to Black.

“The files show that Lu Qingxue is not from a noble family; her parents are ordinary people from a planet on the edge of the Federation’s territory, and the records about her in the academy are extremely scant.”

“I have also checked her parents’ information before, and they indeed exist; but if we look at today’s incident, it’s definitely not normal. Do you need me to help you monitor it?”

Hearing Black’s response, Mu Fan thought for a moment and then shook his head gently.

“No need.”

Lu Qingxue demonstrated her stance in this way, which showed she was not an enemy, so Mu Fan had no reason to investigate her privacy.

After all…

One ought not bite the hand that feeds them.

He then removed the mask and handed it to a robot that appeared in the research center.

Until now, the plan was still proceeding flawlessly.

Mu Fan re-entered the repair liquid, carefully feeling the cells in his body greedily devouring energy.

The surveillance was restored to normal, and Mu Fan had been in the treatment room of the research center all along, without leaving for a moment.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking and Mu Fan was still asleep,

a scavenger, who wandered the streets as usual, appeared near the building labeled W16, and those corpses whose necks had been crushed by Mu Fan outside were finally discovered.

With the scavenger’s screams of fear and excitement, Zhongjing City welcomed a brand-new day.

However, the headlines of all major media outlets in Zhongjing City were occupied by the same event.

Of course, it wasn’t the military’s Mecha martial arts contest, whose news was blocked by the military, but a horrifying massacre.

This issue came to light because the scavenger first went to a news agency rather than the police.

So, just because the scavenger happily collected the fifty thousand Star Coins for valuable clues, the Tang family did not get an inside report first.

Until reporters from the United New Paper rushed to the scene, took numerous pictures, and published them on the front page right away, the news began to spread like wildfire through Zhongjing City.

Countless devices installed with the news app from Sky Communication instantly popped up the headline news.

“Shocking news—Dozens massacred in Zhongjing City!”

“Our agency exclusively reports that the dead were found in Building W16, one of the properties owned by the Tang family, those…”

At this moment, the police station came to know about the incident, and, infuriated, the police immediately dispatched officers to seal off the scene. Only then did the trembling police chief pick up the Sky Communication to report to the Tang family.

“What!?”

The butler, for the first time ignoring Donatello’s prior orders, rushed into Donatello’s courtyard and finally woke him from his deep sleep.

Donatello intensely disliked being disturbed when he had explicitly stated he needed more sleep.

At this moment, his gloomy eyes woodenly stared at the old butler.

Without a good reason, he was determined to teach the butler a lesson he would never forget.

The old butler, observing his young master’s demeanor, wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed over the Sky Communication tremblingly.

Hmm?

Narrowing his eyes, Donald nonchalantly took the Sky Communication device and looked down.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

The old butler felt as if the air around him had suddenly dropped several degrees, as though he were in an ice cellar.

He trembled as he looked towards his young master.

Donald’s eyes bore a terrifyingly sinister look, but his body showed no other abnormalities.

He lifted his head and said woodenly, “Help me get ready, I’m going to the police station.”

After the butler hurriedly retreated, Donald’s eyes carried an extreme chill.

He wanted to see who dared to commit such a reckless act in Zhongjing City!

Donald’s exclusive vehicle, the fifteenth anniversary limited edition of the Peak Series Floating Car, was the best pass, allowing unobstructed entry directly into the police station.

As the Young Master of the Tang family and one of the directors of the Lan Du Military Group, aristocratic privilege was something civilians could only look up to forever.

When the Floating Car reached its destination, Donald in a crisp suit was immediately ushered into the intelligence hall.

“Director Pine, I need an explanation.”

Ignoring the slew of high-ranking police officials before him, Donald directly took the seat of honor. After perfectly fitting himself into the back of the chair, he began with a displeased tone.

The fat man with brown hair, who resembled an oversized prairie pig, swallowed his saliva, signaled his subordinates around to take their seats with a look, and then sat down in the first position to the right of Donald.

“Young Master Tang, this issue is a dereliction of duty on our part. The Scavenger who first found the anomaly was tempted by the financial benefits offered by the newspapers and didn’t report to us, so now the news in the media is beyond our control.”

In Zhongjing City among the seven major families, the Tang family was one of them, but the number of media outlets is immense, with only a small part being controlled by the Tang family.

“A bunch of… rubbish.”

Donald’s relentless taunt turned Director Pine’s face from pale to flushed, but in the end, he simply lowered his head and offered no rebuttal.

“We’ve completely sealed off the site and dispatched top experts to inspect…”

“Give me the results directly.”

Donald looked at the fat director before him, clearly running out of patience.

How had he ever settled on this fool?

“After analysis, there is only one type of footprint at the scene, so we can confirm that there was only one perpetrator.”

After these words, Donald’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This matter was more troublesome than he had imagined; one person had massacred everyone without any information being leaked.

Sixty-two elites from the Tang family!

They had died silently overnight.

And most critical of all, the spot chosen by the perpetrator was precisely the location where he had hidden the Rodrick family.

Who could it be!?

“Continue.”

“But those footprints are extremely bizarre. The normal size for an adult should be 30-45, yet those we observed were all above size 55. Based on this data, the perpetrator’s height should be over 2.5 meters, but that is impossible in Zhongjing City.”

“There are currently about 20,000 Alien Clan members residing in Zhongjing City. Less than 300 of them meet this height requirement, but after comparison, these 300 Alien Clan members’ foot shapes simply cannot wear human shoes. Moreover, the footprints we found had clear edges, distinctly showing shoe prints.”

Director Pine, sweating profusely, delivered his report, which was absurd to the extreme. Now he could only hope that Young Master Tang wouldn’t chastise him too harshly.

Strangely, Donald didn’t explode in anger but instead gently turned his head to one side.
