The moment the policeman pulled out his gun, the iron-masked man and Child of Fortune noticed it almost at the same time.
Child of Fortune warned Xia Pingan, and the iron-masked man was indeed a Seven Sun Realm expert. He immediately set up a thick water barrier around himself and Xia Pingan.
Xia Pingan turned around, and the bullet was already flying towards him.
Pa … Pa … Pa … Pa … Pa …
The crisp sound of a gunshot reverberated on the street, instantly breaking the order and peace on the street …
The policeman fired at Xia Pingan as he rushed towards Xia Pingan. His face was numb, but there was a hint of malevolence in his numbness.
The policeman didn't shoot ordinary bullets, but rune bullets. The rune bullets hit the water barrier set up by the iron-masked man, bursting into brilliant and scorching flames, setting the surrounding air ablaze.
Right in front of Xia Pingan's eyes, the copper bullet penetrated the rippling water curtain. It was still spinning at high speed within the water curtain like an awl, trying to break free from the shackles of the water curtain shield.
Ordinary bullets would float in the water in the blink of an eye and lose all their power. Ordinary handgun bullets had a killing range of less than half a meter in the water, but the bullets shot by the policeman made the water barrier set up by the iron-masked man continuously change shape like deformed jelly. The bullets continued to move forward in the water.
These were rune bullets with fireball and armor-piercing effects.
Even if Xia Pingan was a Five Sun Realm or even a Six Sun Realm summoner, his body would be instantly pierced through if he was hit by such a bullet. He would be severely injured even if he didn't die from the flames that could melt steel.
Xia Pingan's expression changed slightly.
The iron-masked man lightly stomped his foot, and a brilliance flashed under the feet of the policeman who was rushing over. The policeman was instantly fixed in place, and then a large net made of water rope flew over and trapped the policeman.
The policeman fell to the ground, and the nine bullets in his pistol had just run out.
In the next second, the policeman's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The whole process only took two to three seconds.
The pedestrians on the street ran away in a panic. The other patrolling policemen and garrison soldiers were alarmed and rushed over.
The people in the Inspection Department of Donggang were also alarmed. Luo Laoji was the first to run out of the gatehouse, followed by Long Chao, Situ Hua, and the others.
If someone opened fire outside the Inspection Department and no one in the Inspection Department knew about it, then the Summoners in the Inspection Department would be useless.
The street was in a state of confusion.
Xia Pingan didn't care about those people who rushed towards him. He just stretched out his hand and took out a brass bullet from the water curtain in front of him. After that, he turned around and walked towards the Supervision Department. When he passed by Long Chao and the others, he told them calmly, "Take them to the Supervision Department for interrogation …"
"Yes …"
Long Chao and Situ Hua rushed out of the door and saw that a large part of the ground where Xia Pingan had been assassinated had been melted by the high temperature of the fireball. Even a small part of the iron gate of the Inspection Department had melted into molten iron. Their expressions changed at the same time. How dare they try to assassinate someone in the Inspection Department? How dare they?
…
Half an hour later, in Xia Pingan's office, Long Chao, Situ Hua, Hua Ziqin, Fan Gang, Fang Nu, and the others all gathered in Xia Pingan's office. Their faces were filled with worry and anger.
That assassin actually tried to assassinate the Donggang Inspector at the entrance of the Inspection Department of Donggang. This was simply a humiliation and disregard to all the Summoners in the Inspection Department of Donggang. If something happened to Xia Pingan at the entrance of the Inspection Department of Donggang, they would become the laughingstock of the Judgement Army. The reputation of being a good-for-nothing would follow them for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, everyone had a reason to be angry. They were waiting for Xia Pingan's order. Everyone knew that their Inspector wasn't someone who could take a loss lying down.
These people still didn't know that Xia Pingan had been assassinated in the Inspection Department of Donggang yesterday and had almost turned into sand under the Black Demon Poison.
Xia Pingan's face was calm beyond the expectations of those captains. Sitting behind his desk, Xia Pingan was gently turning and playing with a copper bullet in his hand. His eyes were deep.
"Sir, that policeman who tried to assassinate you has already woken up. But no matter how we interrogated him, he kept saying that he was innocent and that he didn't know anything. He even asked why we captured him. I suggest that we immediately torture that person and use a confession potion. We must catch the mastermind behind this!" Long Chao angrily reported to Xia Pingan.
"Don't bother. That policeman is just a puppet controlled by someone. He can't do anything. Just hand him over to the police!" Xia Pingan said calmly.
The person who did it was still Nightmare. His method was the same as how he controlled Wei Meiyu. That policeman probably didn't know where the rune bullets in his gun came from.
"Sir, do you already know who did it?" Hua Ziqin raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Yes, I roughly know a little, but I don't know where that guy is hiding. I will let everyone know if we take action. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Everything in the Inspection Department is going on as usual. Alright, everyone go back to work. These days, the capital is a little chaotic. Arrange for two teams to go out and patrol every time you encounter a summoner or a restless person who harasses the people.
If you encounter a summoner or a summoner, you will be severely punished! "Several team captains looked at each other and replied with a" yes "before leaving Xia Pingan's office one after another.
…
"This isn't the way …" After those people left, the iron-masked man appeared in Xia Pingan's office and shook his head gently. "You can't always be on guard against everyone around you. If this goes on, even if you don't die, you will probably go crazy. Even I don't have the ability to maintain a state of high alert at all times. If you don't find that Nightmare, you will lose your life as long as you are careless!"
"It doesn't matter. Let that guy be arrogant for two more days. At most, I will live in seclusion for the next few days and see what he can do!"
Seeing that Xia Pingan was not nervous and seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, the iron-masked man didn't say anything more and returned to his room.
Not long after the iron-masked man left, Wei Meiyu knocked on the door and entered.
"Sir, someone from the Roc King Auction House is here. He said he wants to give you something?"
"Oh, let the person from the Roc King Auction House in!"
"Yes!"
After a while, a man in a black suit that Xia Pingan had seen at the auction house came into the office with a suitcase in his hand. After greeting Xia Pingan, he opened the suitcase, took out a box from the suitcase, and placed it in front of Xia Pingan.
"Sir, this is the Realm Pearl that you bought at the VIP Auction House that night. I've brought it to you!"
Xia Pingan opened the box to take a look. Inside the box was a Realm Pearl that was flashing with a faint red light. The words "Crown Prince Pill" were flashing in the Realm Pearl, and there was also a Divine Sense Crystal to match it.
This was also the Assassin Realm Pearl. If it could be fused, Xia Pingan would be able to summon a Level 2 Assassin. A Level 2 Assassin was much more powerful than a Level 1 Assassin.
This Realm Pearl was the one that Xia Pingan had bought at the Roc King Auction House that night.
Just by looking at the words on this Realm Pearl, Xia Pingan knew that this Realm Pearl was meant to allow the user to fuse with the Crown Prince Pill and win over Jing Ke so that Jing Ke would be willing to risk his life to assassinate Qin Dynasty.
The Divine Telekinesis Crystal that matched this Assassin Realm Pearl didn't appear at the auction that night.
"Is this the only one?"
"Sir, you bid 40000 gold coins for the Giant Realm Pearl in the auction house that night. After you left, someone bid 42500 gold coins for the Giant Realm Pearl. Therefore, you didn't get it!"
"Alright, I got it. I didn't expect you to match it with a Divine Telekinesis Crystal. How much does it cost?" Xia Pingan said as he was about to take out some gold notes.
"Madam Xuan said that this Assassin Realm Pearl is a token of appreciation from the Roc King Auction House. Therefore, you don't have to pay for it!" The man from the Roc King Auction House had already stood up and bowed slightly to Xia Pingan again. "Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
"Alright, please send my regards to Madam Xuan!" Xia Pingan didn't stand on ceremony as he accepted the Assassin Realm Pearl.
Not long after that man left, when Xia Pingan was playing with the Assassin Realm Pearl of "Yan Crown Prince Pill", Wei Meiyu knocked on the door and came in to report that a man was here to deliver something to Xia Pingan on the order of Lin Yi.
Xia Pingan asked him to come in. After that man came in, he directly took out a leather case from his space-teleportation equipment and placed it in front of Xia Pingan. After asking Xia Pingan to sign for it, he turned around and left without saying anything.
After opening the leather case, Zhang Tie found 1 million gold notes and 10 rare Realm Pearls in it. These were the things that Lin Yi had promised to give to Xia Pingan. They were delivered here today.
"Why would someone queue up to deliver a Realm Pearl to you?" The iron-masked man appeared in Xia Pingan's office. Looking at the Realm Pearls and gold notes in the leather case, his eyes turned red.
'Damn it, it's too exciting to be with Xia Pingan. This guy had just advanced to the Five Suns Realm last night. Early in the morning, someone queued up to deliver a Realm Pearl and gold notes to him. Is the position of envoy inspector really so good?' 'Why didn't I know about it before?' 'If every envoy inspector in Shang Jing City was so good, Seven Suns Realm envoy inspectors would be everywhere in Shang Jing City.'
Xia Pingan smiled. "This is my character …" As he spoke, Xia Pingan took out another gold note worth 100,000 gold coins from the leather case and handed it to the iron-masked man. "This is for you. You've worked hard for the past two days …"
Looking at the gold note worth 100,000 gold coins — — two small courtyards in Shang Jing City — — the iron-masked man struggled for a second as he hesitated between his pride as a powerhouse and the glory of the gold note. However, in the end …
Before Xia Pingan retracted his hand, the iron-masked man took the gold note and struggled for a while before spitting out two words, "Thanks!"
