It was as if a storm had swept through the secret chamber. Everyone held their breaths in shock and bewilderment. Li Waner, who had destroyed Zhuo Yixian's sound transmission ring and video, gave Zhuo Yixian another cold stare, then turned around and left expressionlessly.
Her departure didn't lessen the pressure in the secret chamber. Instead, after she left, everyone seemed to have regained some of their composure. When they recalled everything that had happened, their hearts began to pound madly.
Wang Baole saw that everyone around him was incredibly silent. Zhuo Yixian was already in a daze, his eyes filled with confusion. Hence, he coughed dryly, stood up from his seat, and patted Zhuo Yixian's shoulder.
"Oh, Yixian, I already told you that you can't talk about this matter. But you … you just had to ask. What's the point? You've committed a huge taboo." Wang Baole sighed and shook his head. His heart was filled with pride. Under the gazes of everyone around him, who looked as if they were looking at a deity, he clasped his hands behind his back and strode out of the secret chamber.
There were even a few people who hurried over to send him off respectfully. In truth, they had also realized that if the woman in the video wasn't Department Head Li, but she had destroyed it, it would prove Wang Baole's innocence, as well as the power behind Wang Baole.
After all, for the impartial Li Waner to do something like that, it was easy to imagine the depth of this matter.
But if … the woman in the video was really Li Waner, then the two of them had been alone in the catacombs, a man and a woman. Their relationship was definitely not ordinary. No matter what, it was worth it for them to befriend and ease their relationship.
Meanwhile, in the secret chamber, as everyone sent Wang Baole off respectfully, the others also quickly left. However, before they left, they all glanced at Zhuo Yixian. They knew that Zhuo Yixian … was most likely done for.
After all, Li Waner's last four words could be said to have been spoken word by word through gritted teeth. The murderous aura contained within those words was so strong that when they recalled it now, their hearts were filled with fear.
After everyone left, Zhuo Yixian stood there alone. The confusion in his eyes slowly turned into panic. Sweat gradually seeped out of his forehead, and soon, his entire body was drenched. The others might not have seen it clearly because of their different angles, but this video was right in front of him. It could be said that what he saw was clearer than anyone else.
Although the video had been destroyed by Li Waner, Zhuo Yixian's face gradually paled as he tried to recall what had happened. He couldn't lie to himself because he had vaguely seen the woman's face in the video.
It was none other than … Li Waner!!
However, he knew a little more than the others. He knew very well that Wang Baole had disappeared for an entire night … and only reappeared in Huoxing City the next morning.
"An entire night …" When he thought of this, Zhuo Yixian immediately trembled. His face was extremely pale, and his mind couldn't help but imagine countless people's imaginations … After all, it was a moonless and windy night. His leader and Wang Baole were alone in a secret chamber, and they hadn't returned for an entire night …
Most importantly, Li Waner's attitude had turned to anger. It was obvious that there was an unspeakable secret between the two of them.
When he thought of this, Zhuo Yixian trembled even more violently. He was wailing in his heart. He knew very well that he had committed a grave sin. He had gone to investigate his leader's private affairs, and it was a private affair between a man and a woman …
Zhuo Yixian's mind buzzed, and he felt a little dizzy. He couldn't help but think of Li Waner's expression and gaze when she asked him if he wanted to die before she left. This terrified Zhuo Yixian.
He knew Li Waner very well. He knew that she was ruthless and merciless, but she also had a powerful background. She was incomparably powerful and had a violent temper. There were many rumors about her, and her father was the head of the Senate. He was a Secondary First Noble of the Federation. He seemed to be of the same rank as the Martian Colony Governor, but in terms of power, even the Martian Colony Governor couldn't compare.
After all, he was the head of the Senate!
As for the Five Generation Sky Clan, although they were powerful as a whole, they were made up of many family clans. They had also suffered losses during the incident on the Moon. As for the Zhuo family, although they were one of the five giants of the Five Generation Sky Clan, they weren't the only one. After all, Zhuo Yixian was only the eldest son of this generation of the Zhuo family. There was still a huge gap between him and Li Waner.
Especially … here, Li Waner was his immediate superior. This made Zhuo Yixian want to cry. He thought of how he had been cautious and conscientious ever since he came to Mars. While he had scrupulously abided by his duties, he also had grand dreams and had planned to achieve great things. But now … his heart had turned cold.
At that moment, he was no longer in the mood to think about Wang Baole. He quickly walked out of the secret chamber, borrowed a voice transmission ring from someone, and immediately sent a voice transmission to his father.
Zhuo Yixian's father was the head of the Zhuo family. He was also one of the most important figures in the Federation. Even so, when he heard Zhuo Yixian's recount of the incident, even he was shocked. He quickly asked, "Yixian, do you know what happened?
Does Li Waner know that you used your family clan's power? It's fine if she doesn't know. After all, this is your … "
"She knows …" Zhuo Yixian was on the verge of tears. He had no choice but to send a voice transmission to his father.
"She isn't the only one who knows. Many people in the family clan probably know as well. As for the original video … it's still with the family clan."
When Zhuo Yixian's father heard this, he was instantly enraged. After all, if this matter was limited to the younger generation, it could still be resolved. It would merely be a conflict between them. However, if the family clan was involved as well, the implications would be entirely different.
"How did she know that you used your family clan's power?!" In his fury, Zhuo Yixian's father bellowed.
"I said it myself …" Zhuo Yixian felt bitter, but he knew that this was not the time to hide it. Hence, he braced himself and answered.
When he heard Zhuo Yixian's answer, Zhuo Yixian's father fell silent. After a long while, he let out a long sigh. It was a sigh that seemed to be filled with age.
"I'll deal with this matter … Yixian, don't worry about it. I'm old and can't afford to do this. Her father, Li Qidao, is famous for being difficult to deal with. Look at his daughter. Don't you know?"
Naturally, Wang Baole didn't know about the conversation between Zhuo Yixian and his father. At that moment, he was happily returning to the academy. He didn't have time to think about what would happen to Zhuo Yixian. After he returned, he happily continued to cultivate the Dark Flame and the Lightning Dao. At the same time, he didn't forget to perfect and refine the construction puppets.
As one construction puppet after another was refined by Wang Baole, life slowly returned to normal. The donkey continued to leave early in the morning and return late at night. Every time it went out, it would look very excited. When it came back, it would look very satisfied.
When Wang Baole occasionally saw it, he became more and more surprised. However, just as he was thinking about following the donkey to see what it was doing, Kim Do-myung's visit made him put that idea on hold.
This time, Kim Do-myung didn't bring the huge fortress with him. In terms of ostentation, there were at most a few dozen guards and about the same number of maids following him.
After seeing Wang Baole, Kim Do-myung was about to speak, but Wang Baole asked first with great interest.
"Brother Jin, are you here to buy a donkey?"
Kim Do-myung originally wanted to exchange some pleasantries before getting to business. However, when he heard this, his expression changed. Especially when he saw that Wang Baole looked like he was about to introduce the donkey in detail. Kim Do-myung quickly raised his hand to interrupt him. He coughed and didn't want to chat anymore. Instead, he quickly got to business.
"Baole, have you heard about the Divine Weapon New District on Mars?" When Kim Do-myung spoke, his eyes narrowed and his voice was lower than usual.
"Divine Weapon New District?" Wang Baole was taken aback.
"That's right. I heard that because of the appearance of the blood-colored fog, the Divine Weapon development plan that was originally put on hold has been revived. However, due to the difficulty of development, a series of basic preparations have to be made. After all, the manpower and resources required in the future will definitely be huge. Therefore, the Martian Colony Governor has proposed the construction of a new district!
"A new district will be built around the location of the Divine Weapon. It will be mainly responsible for the development of the Divine Weapon … It won't be considered a city. It will be considered the outer administrative district of the Martian Colony City!
"Once you become the district mayor there, you will be promoted to a Primary Rank Four Noble. This is a rare opportunity, and the competition will be fierce. However, I can help you fight for a spot as a candidate … However …" When Kim Do-myung said this, he looked deeply at Wang Baole. He believed that he had already said a lot. Based on his understanding of Wang Baole, the latter should be able to understand.
In reality, this was indeed the case. When Wang Baole heard this, his heartbeat quickened. When he lifted his head to look at Kim Do-myung, the words that Lin Tianhao's father, Lin You, had said to him surfaced in his mind …
