Chapter 504: Fury Unleashed

Hurry!

Hurry!!

Hurry!!!

At breakneck speed, Lu Haishan, in full flight mode, streaked across the Capital’s sky like a blazing meteor, racing straight toward the coordinates provided by General Huang.

A piercing roar filled the air as the rushing wind compressed the atmosphere like liquid, carving out a sharp, cone-shaped shockwave.

Few knew just how fast Peak Third-Stage speed could be – yet at that moment, every survivor in the Capital witnessed it firsthand.

Undeterred by the chaos it sparked.

Surging to over twice supersonic speed, Lu Haishan accelerated instantaneously to Mach 2.3. His eyes burned red as he fixed his gaze on East City in the Safe Zone!

The man who killed his son was right there!

He would avenge Tianming!

Overwhelmed with rage, he was losing his grip on reason.

Especially after a self-proclaimed friend of Lu Tianming revealed the truth—igniting a flame of anger deep inside him!

“Old Commander Lu, Tianming was actually forced into the Death Duel.”

“I’m amazed that kid could actually kill Tianming!”

“Committee Member Lu repeatedly tolerated the kid’s provocations, yet for some reason, the higher-ups seemed to favor him and approved the Death Duel not long ago.”

“I suspect Committee Member Lu, too concerned with appearances and unwilling to strike fully for fear of seeming oppressive, was taken advantage of by that brat’s devious scheme!”

“It’s a tragedy—Committee Member Lu’s strength should have easily crushed him, but his hesitation cost him dearly.”

“Damn it, I wasn’t there! Otherwise, I’d have saved Committee Member Lu no matter what!”

With evident regret, Huang Yu shared his ‘theory’.

Though he knew Yenir might truly be that formidable and that Lu Tianming had unleashed his full force during the Death Duel, deep down he just couldn’t accept it!

After all the embellishments, even he began to wonder if that was really the case.

In light of everything, Lu Haishan’s grief and fury deepened as he absorbed the full story!

Just as he suspected! Just as he suspected!

Tianming was murdered in secret! With his strength, there was no way he could have lost!

He had been aware of the Death Duel all along, but ever since withdrawing from Military affairs, he treated it as trivial and never took it to heart.

It was nothing more than an outrageous farce.

He’d heard of Yenir and knew bits about his feats.

But being a Peak Third-Stage talent himself, he hadn’t paid much attention—merely assuming Yenir was another rising star favored by the Military.

However, he never imagined that his momentary negligence would cost Tianming his life! Had he known, he would have struck first and taken down that little bastard!

He even wondered if high-ranking officials within the Military were seizing the opportunity to target him!

But…

Whoosh—Boom!!

His speed surged even further.

After leaving a Peak Third-Stage fighter far behind, an enraged Lu Haishan no longer cared about the details.

All he wanted now was for Yenir to die—he would make that little bastard experience the most despair imaginable!

……….

Meanwhile, inside the core complex of the Capital’s Second Square.

Yenir, who had been ‘relocated’ here half an hour earlier, was calmly chatting with Fang Hao and the others.

Standing in the vast hall with neither joy nor sorrow, Yenir asked softly as Fang Hao, ever shifting the topic awkwardly, responded.

“Uncle Fang, so you mean I should lay low for now? And they’ll handle Lu Haishan’s case?”

“In the end, do I even need to apologize personally?”

His voice remained calm, void of any extra emotion.

With a bitter laugh, after receiving the plan confirmed by the Prime Minister and others, Fang Hao sighed helplessly and nodded.

“There’s no choice. Lu Haishan has sacrificed much for the Military and the Huaxia Battle Zone, and he once achieved remarkable feats.”

“The Military Department can’t do otherwise; they must consider the old commander’s feelings.”

“Yenir, just bear with it… I know it might seem unfair, but this is the best outcome we can get.”

Unconsciously patting Yenir’s shoulder, Fang Hao admitted that the situation had grown extremely tricky.

Indeed, in terms of both morality and rules, Yenir had done nothing wrong.

A proper, honorable Death Duel—untouched by interference.

He even suspected that Lu Tianming had played a subtle role in instigating the Death Duel.

Perhaps when things went awry and the Death Duel’s protection failed to kick in, it was largely Lu Tianming’s own accidental misstep that doom him.

But even if that explanation were laid out, Lu Haishan wouldn’t buy it.

When strength and status reach a certain level, rules can no longer hold down the mighty.

After repeated deliberations within the Military, having Yenir apologize or compensate Lu Haishan was deemed the best way to quell his anger.

This has really escalated—the honor of all Huaguo is at stake! It’s the pride of the entire Military!

With a slight flicker in his gaze, Yenir listened to Fang Hao’s counsel as if it were irrelevant, nodding noncommittally.

Heh…

Apologize, huh?

He knew that getting the Military Department to agree to such terms was the best they could do to protect him.

Even the higher-ups considered this as ‘generous enough’ to Yenir—there were even heated debates behind the scenes under great pressure.

But…

To make him bow his head? To force him to apologize?

Sorry, compromise has never been a word in Yenir’s dictionary!

Noticing Fang Hao’s worried look, a flash of determination crossed Yenir’s mind and he was about to speak when suddenly both Fang Hao and Zhao Hongtu, standing at his side, had their expressions turn grim as their muscles tensed instantly.

But in an instant, a staggering, high-speed aura of menace surged from afar, its lethal intent as palpable as a solid force, zeroing in on their location.

Watch out!

Boom!!!

In the next moment, a dazzling flash of blade light, slicing through the darkness as if it could cut through everything, erupted from the distance!

At the peak of his power, surrounded by a tangible surge of spirit energy, the attacker was none other than Lu Haishan!

“You little bastard! Come out and face your death!!!”

Boom, boom, boom! Boom!

The fully charged blade lit up the Capital’s sky. With a furious roar, a nearly berserk Lu Haishan charged recklessly toward the arena!

And his target was none other than Yenir.
