Chapter 299 - Do Both Things Simultaneously (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Yupeng was a superhuman whom the adjudicator court decided to elect as both a secret police officer and adjudicator. He had two forms of authority and the right to act before reporting to his higher ups.

In theory, he had the right to investigate all superhuman criminal cases, regardless of the grade of the case. Of course, he also had absolute brute strength as his backup, which allowed him to have the confidence to subjugate out-of-control superhumans without it resulting in severe collateral damage. He protected the Supernatural Tower’s dignity as well as ensured Dragon City’s safety.

This was the true meaning behind adjudicators.

Even though his looks were really similar to those of his cousin, Shen Yupeng gave off a completely different presence compared to Shen Yulong, who died tragically under Raging Waves.

When the man with the hook nose walked over slowly, he did not even pull out his hands from his pockets. Even so, all people and even the biochemical pets, who had sucked in the gas that made them go wild, fell completely silent.

At that moment, the Black Bone members had already caught up.

When they sensed Shen Yupeng and Lu Siya’s presence, which were completely different from theirs, they paused and looked around. Small Insect seemed to have caused a ruckus, and dozens of guns were directed at their brows from the dark. The sharpshooters did not even bother hiding their murderous intent.

Shen Yupeng arrived beside Lu Siya and Meng Chao and reached out with two fingers to pick up Small Insect. He then shouted to the Black Bone members. “This person is one of the main instigators in the case of the pets murdering their owners in Blessed Paradise. He fired gas that makes pets go wild in an attempt to cause dozens of biochemical pets to go berserk. This put hundreds of innocent citizens in danger, and he also tried to destroy the order in Golden Tooth Lair.

“Is he a member of Black Bone? Will Black Bone be responsible for all that he did?”

The Black Bone members looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

“I’m going to ask again.”

Shen Yupeng’s eyes shone with a bright spark. They were like spotlights burning at hundreds of degrees Celsius while fixed on the Black Bone members.

“Is he a member of Black Bone?” he asked fiercely. “Does Black Bone want the secret police to take up arms and organize a search for the top ten wanted criminals of Dragon City in Golden Tooth Lair, which is the territory of Black Bone, Poison Scorpion, and Golden Tooth? Do you want us to stop the operations of the monster colosseums, finance companies, and everyone else’s businesses for three months?”

Under his intimidating presence, the Black Bone members retreated nonstop.

At that moment, a person with a ridiculous tattoo of two black bones intersecting with each other like a cross on his face received a call.

He appeared to be a leader. After he obsequiously agreed to certain things, he hung up and shouted at Shen Yupeng, “He’s not a member of Black Bone. We don’t know who he is.”

“Big Brother Huang—” Small Insect shouted.

But his voice was silenced by Shen Yupeng’s fist.

“If that’s the case, why are you still here?” Shen Yupeng asked the Black Bone members with a smile.

Soon, the Black Bone members disappeared without a trace.

Before leaving, they even sensibly compensated the damages the pet sellers suffered after their animals were killed.

Shen Yupeng grabbed Small Insect to carry him under his armpit and said to Lu Siya and Meng Chao, “Let’s go.”

“Wait!” Lu Siya glared at him. “This is a criminal the abnormal beast research department wants to investigate!”

“Oh?” Shen Yupeng did not even bat an eyelid. He said faintly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know that the abnormal beast research department has released an arrest order for this suspect.”

Lu Siya found herself speechless.

Shen Yupeng continued, “Of course, the abnormal beast research department has just been built. It’s also a safety department at the same rank as the adjudicator court, so it has the right to execute its authority before reporting to the higher ups.

“So, has the Survival Committee or the Supernatural Tower given the abnormal beast research department any power in regard to the case of murderous pets in Blessed Paradise and allowed you to participate in it?”

Lu Siya could not say anything about it.

“And of course, it’s fine even if you don’t have an arrest warrant or authorization documents when you run into unique, emergency cases that threaten the safety and stability of Dragon City. As long as you have enough power and can handle the situation, it’s fine.”

Shen Yupeng’s expression was relaxed. He smirked at Lu Siya. “Did you have enough brute strength to bring this guy out of Golden Tooth Lair without harming any innocents while ensuring that not a single hair on this person’s head is harmed?”

Lu Siya was so angry that her face turned red. She was practically fuming.

Shen Yupeng’s expression became stern. He brought out a few documents that had just been printed from his trenchcoat. The ink was still very fresh. “This is our arrest warrant for the suspect, Mr. Liao, and these are the authorization documents for my secret police and adjudicator squad, which is led by me. We are charged with investigating the case of the murderous pets in Blessed Paradise.

“As for absolute strength… I believe I won’t need to display it, will I, Ms. Lu?”

More than ten black figures jumped down from the hornet-nest-like buildings behind Shen Yupeng.
