37 Federation Framework (2/2)

Although any faction could not resist the Federation in its entirety, their combined forces was enough to make the Federation apprehensive.

Now that he was Head Prefect, Wang Baole finally got a deeper understanding of this power. After some thought, he determined that the way he had dealt with the situation was fine and that he had a clear conscience. With that, he patted his belly in satisfaction and picked up the inscription dictionary to continue memorizing the inscriptions.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When Liu Daobin came again, he brought with him the Mystic Silver Sand. Each sand particle was resplendent and glaring to the eye. They appeared like gems when they caught the light and appeared extremely hard. After Wang Baole saw them, he felt that these items were extraordinary.

”Head Prefect, this Mystic Silver Sand is given by the Sun family to thank the College Discipline Department for being impartial. Head Prefect, I shall defer its handling to you.”

Wang Baole took a look at the Mystic Silver Sand and then back at Liu Daobin. There was a deep, knowing look in his eyes that made Liu Daobin somewhat nervous. Sweat began dripping from his forehead, and only after some time did Wang Baole say coolly, ”Just this once!”

Upon hearing Wang Baole's words, Liu Daobin immediately gave the affirmative. He did not notice that his back was already wet. Wang Baole's cold gaze had given him immense pressure. He knew that Wang Baole was acutely aware of the dealings he had with the Sun family. Although he had benefited from the Sun family, he had investigated the matter justly and did not show partiality for Sun Qifang.

He gradually understood Wang Baole's principles and knew that Wang Baole's principles were different from his father's judgment. He had made a mistake from the very beginning. Wang Baole's mention of propriety was that he had to go by established norms while doing the investigation and not ask for bribes.

When he came to this realization, Liu Daobin drew a deep gasp. He looked at Wang Baole with an even deeper sense of reverence. He knew how to act in the future.

Wang Baole did not take all of the Mystic Silver Sand; instead, he divided a portion for Liu Daobin so that he could give it to the rest of the College Discipline Department.

After sending off Liu Daobin, Wang Baole did not look at the Mystic Silver Sand. He knew that such refinement materials were not of much practical use to him for the time being.

What I need the most now are some high-quality memory supplements. Wang Baole thought for a moment and decided to take some of the Mystic Silver Sand to exchange them for better pills at the underground black market.

To do exchanges in the black market, one needed to conceal one's identity to prevent any unnecessary trouble. Wang Baole was cognizant of such common knowledge. Therefore, he disguised himself and left the Dao College.

On the way, he looked down at his figure and scratched his head.

This won't do. My figure is too slim. It's easy for others to recognize me… The vexed Wang Baole gritted his teeth and found a store to buy a set of tight clothing. After putting it on, he felt that the effects were not particularly effective with his flesh bound tightly inside his clothes.

Sigh, it's time to lose weight… Wang Baole was somewhat vexed. He felt that he was the person hardest on himself when it came to losing weight, but he could not slim down for some reason.

No, I will continue to lose weight from tomorrow! Wang Baole's eyes effused a look of determination. He bought another seven or eight sets of clothes and wore all of them. Finally, he disguised his figure completely and finally wore a loose robe.

From his body's shape, even someone familiar would hardly be able to recognize him at a glance.

However, it was just so tight that Wang Baole found it difficult to breathe. But in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he put up with it. He found a mask to wear as his entire person changed drastically, and he rushed for the underground black market.

From today forth, I will not eat meals. I'll be dieting! On the way, Wang Baole walked very stiffly, afraid that he would burst his tight clothes accidentally. Therefore, he resolved once again to lose weight. However, the moment he made up his mind, he could not help but pause when he passed by a snacks shop.

This is… Wang Baole licked his lips as he looked at the advertisement stand placed outside the shop. There was a poster hung on it that showed the latest snacks. He struggled for a moment.

Since I start dieting tomorrow, it shouldn't matter if I buy some more today. With this in mind, Wang Baole quickly bought a few bags. He walked as he ate, and when he finished it, the satisfied him had arrived at the underground black market.

The pill exchange process went smoothly. Soon, Wang Baole had exchanged for a sufficient number of high-quality pills and left the black market. As he walked in the bustling Ethereal City to find a place to take off his tight clothes, he suddenly heard a scream from further down the street he was on.

”Quick, dodge!”

”Heavens, how can you drive a cruiser like that?”

”It's falling!”

The shouts came from countless passers-by on the road. The yells in the sky were piercing to the ears as Wang Baole quickly looked over after recovering from his shock. He saw a cruiser emitting thick smoke and plummeting straight to the ground as though it had lost control.

The cruiser was too fast. Even though people fled in panic, there was still some people who failed to dodge in time. One of them was a seven or eight year old girl who was carrying a backpack. She stood rooted to the ground in fear. Before she could even cry, the cruiser had plummet right down at her.

Even though the young girl did not suffer a direct hit, her body was battered and bruised. Immediately, she was covered in blood as she flew out, and by the time she landed on the ground, she was barely breathing.

The bloody face made the hearts of everyone who saw her tremble. The crowd who saw the scene broke out into an angry uproar. When Wang Baole rushed over and saw all of this, his expression changed. Rage filled his eyes when he noticed the people walking out from the crashed cruiser.
