373 Banging! (2/2)
”Wang Baole, don't go overboard and feign ignorance here. Do you think…”
”Shut up!” Without waiting for Li Yi to finish what she had wanted to say, Wang Baole bellowed, the late-stage of his Foundation Establishment realm cultivation exploding, instantly forming a strong force that directly suppressed Li Yi!
Li Yi trembled violently, feeling as if her eardrums were about to be broken apart. At the same time, she sensed the transformation in Wang Baole's cultivation and immediately gasped. Even Kong Dao, who was beside her, was shocked, his facial expression changing wildly. He hadn't noticed it with the alarm sounding previously. Furthermore, Wang Baole instinctively tried to hide it when he arrived, which made this sudden activation of Wang Baole's cultivation catch the attention of Kong Dao.
”You still know that I am Wang Baole? Vice Mayor Li, do you know then that you're just an assistant? You don't greet me when you see me and are instead waiting for me to greet you?” Wang Baole reprimanded, without a hint of politeness.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
His cultivation, status, and responsibility were all superior to Li Yi. Right now, whatever he said reigned, putting so much pressure on Li Yi that she was aghast with shock and hyperventilating.
Kong Dao also fell silent, knowing that it was unwise for him to say anything right now.
Seeing that Wang Baole was reprimanding Li Yi, Lin Tianhao gloated in his heart. He had grown extremely annoyed at Li Yi during this period of time, and now, he opened his mouth to speak.
”Mayor, I would like to confess… After Vice Mayor Li arrived here, she made many suggestions that weren't in line with the foundational blueprint for the Eternal Fortress that was given by you. I didn't dare to apply them, which resulted in delays in the construction process…”
Wang Baole raised his brows upon hearing Lin Tianhao's words, and he looked towards Li Yi.
”Mayor Wang went into seclusion the moment he arrived and didn't care about how things were progressing over here, eventually resulting in chaos. As the vice mayor, I would naturally have to oversee the construction of the new city zone. What is wrong with expressing my opinion about it?” Li Yi raised her head, recovering from being reprimanded previously as she looked coldly at Wang Baole.
”You can. From now on, Vice Mayor Li won't only be in charge of the area of the seal, but also the construction of the entire Eternal Fortress. Tianhao, pass a copy of the blueprint for the Eternal Fortress to ViceMayor Li later on.” Wang Baole spoke decisively, shocking Lin Tianhao. Even though he wasn't sure why Wang Baole responded this way, he still hurriedly nodded his head.
Li Yi was taken aback as well. She had originally planned to find a chance to interfere later on, eventually gaining the power to oversee the construction through a dramatic underhand scheme. Her goal was only to be in charge of twenty to thirty percent of the entire process.
However, she had never imagined that Wang Baole would hand over the entire responsibility for the construction to her. However, even though she was suspicious, she immediately accepted the power that she had been bestowed.
Without bothering himself further with Li Yi, Wang Baole turned to look at Kong Dao.
Kong Dao was silent. He thought about the time he made a pact with his foster father and the Mars military when he first arrived, and how Wang Baole had flipped between being the leader and relinquishing his power in a give-and-take manner, which gave him an indescribable gut feeling. He didn't know what it was, but he instinctively felt that there was danger lurking.
However, he still greeted Wang Baole expressionlessly.
”Greetings, Mayor Wang.”
Wang Baole smiled vaguely, nodding his head before speaking calmly.
”Mayor Kong…”
”Say no more, Mayor Wang!” Kong Dao interjected Wang Baole mid-sentence.
”Didn't you already communicate my role with the military previously? I won't participate in any construction, and will only be responsible in guarding the Divine Armament Catacombs while periodically releasing the seal to do an internal cleansing. As for the resources, I have already reported to Mayor Lin, and I won't participate in any audit!”
”The alarm just sounded here, and I need to inspect in greater detail. If nothing's the matter, I will be taking my leave.” As he spoke, Kong Dao didn't pay any further attention to Wang Baole. Instead, he turned and led his army of military cultivators and began stringent inspections outside the Divine Armament Catacombs.
Wang Baole looked at Kong Dao and squinted his eyes. He didn't say anything and turned to lead Lin Tianhao out of the Divine Armament Catacombs's seal. Li Yi threw a glance at Kong Dao before looking away. Thinking about the power she had just gained, her heart palpitated. Even though she was still suspicious, she was no longer hesitant. Even if there were to be anything amiss with this matter, she wasn't afraid!
Perhaps, this is a sign that Wang Baole is bowing down to the White Deer Dao College…
