381 Trouble! (2/2)

”Mayor, you're letting her off just like that?”

Wang Baole flashed a profound look and hit the table several times, before speaking suddenly.

”Tianhao, transcribe all the conversations today, as well as the details of the entire matter into a jade slip, and send it to the Governor. Since Mayor Li Yi announced that she would correct it, we shouldn't dwell too much on it.”

Without a choice, Lin Tianhao nodded his head and was about to stand up and leave when suddenly, Wang Baole spoke again.

”In addition, use this as an excuse to delay the time to move the people. At the same time, there is no need to keep an eye on Li Yi's western zone any longer. Instead, it is more important to return the areas in the other zones which Li Yi secretly messed up to normal!”

The meaning behind Wang Baole's words was clear. As Lin Tianhao listened, his breathing quickened. He sensed something sinister in Wang Baole's words and immediately abided to the commands before taking his leave.

When everyone had left, Wang Baole, who was sitting on the chair, shut his eyes, appearing to be deep in thought. As the skies darkened and began to shroud the office in darkness, Wang Baole blended within. Only his mumbles could be heard vaguely.

”Li Yi, it would be no big matter if you had stayed honest. However, if you still continue to court death, I will give you what you want!”

Just as Wang Baole had predicted, even though Li Yi sent instructions to carry out investigations after she had left, it was all surface work. She appeared to be making repairs and adjustment, but she didn't do anything to the core position, instead, increasing the speed of construction.

However, as her authority had been reduced, such that she was only in control of the western zone instead of the entire city zone, the most she could do was to transform the western zone into her own Global Dharma City.

She held onto the belief that she would eventually be able to prove that she, Li Yi, was the candidate most suitable to become mayor. Wang Baole, the pig, was merely trying to get into the good books of the public in order to trick them.

However, she also knew that whatever she was doing shouldn't be discovered again, at least before the Global Dharma City was completed. Therefore, she was even more vigilant and even replaced everyone she was in charge of to people from her own White Deer Dao College.

At the same time, she put in place protective measures that made it extremely challenging for outsiders to investigate the situation. That was a different case for the other three zones. With Lin Tianhao in charge, Jin Duoming and Kong Dao cooperated with each other, rectifying everything that Li Yi had secretly changed and rebuilding the area according to Wang Baole's blueprint.

Time flew by just like that, and half a month passed. The Martian Colony Governor seemed to have received the jade slip, but for some unknown reason, she didn't ask about it. Instead, the Martian Colony Governor delayed the moving of the people due to some procedural issues.

In addition, a new round of tests for the new city zone's ability to resist the Beast Tide took place several times within this half month. With each Beast Tide, the new city zone's array formation was activated in all zones, suppressing the Beast Tide each time. As for the western zone that Li Yi was in charge of, no issues surfaced.

That made Li Yi even more confident. That was especially so when there was one instance where the force of the Beast Tide rose significantly, and an illusory circular glow appeared in the western zone that Li Yi was in charge of. As the glow was reflected, it strengthened the array formation in the Divine Armament Catacombs, resulting in severe casualties to the Beast Tide.

That test significantly boosted Li Yi's confidence. She already had some evidence that her Global Dharma City was more suitable and more powerful than Wang Baole's Eternal Fortress!

It's time to take over! Observing the situation, Li Yi grew impatient. She summarized the advantages of her Global Dharma City, as well as its performance in resisting the Beast Tide, and planned to contact White Deer Dao College to issue a challenge to Wang Baole so that the Martian City would reassess the suitability of each of their cities. A sudden change occurred suddenly that very night, one that she wasn't prepared for!

A new catacombs entrance, one that appeared to be branching off the Divine Armament Catacombs, appeared in Li Yi's western zone!
