"Who gave you the guts to harm a student of Sunset College?" An Tianzuo asked Liz as he sat in the car.
"Overseer, I'm Liz from the Special Investigation Bureau. I'm under the orders of the Senate to arrest anyone related to Jing Daoxian …" Before Liz could finish her sentence, she suddenly heard a bang.
Liz felt an intense pain and burning sensation from her left thigh. As she screamed, one of her legs involuntarily knelt to the ground. A bloody hole had appeared on the side of her thigh, and there were burn marks on the wound.
And beside the sedan, a man in a military uniform and white gloves was stuffing a pistol into the holster at his waist. At the same time, he said, "Answer whatever the Overseer asks. Don't say anything he doesn't ask."
"You dare shoot at me? You …" Before Liz could finish her sentence, she heard another gunshot. Her other leg had been pierced by a bullet as she immediately fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.
"As the Overseer's adjutant, I have the obligation to remind you once again that you only need to answer the Overseer's questions. If you say anything wrong or say any unnecessary nonsense, it won't be just your legs that will be broken next time," the white-gloved man said gently with a smile.
If he hadn't used his gun to break Liz's legs, perhaps anyone would've thought of him as a gentle man who couldn't even bear to kill a mosquito.
However, Liz's forehead was covered in a cold sweat. It wasn't only because of the excruciating pain from her legs, but also because of the chill that came from her bones.
Seeing the white-gloved man raise his gun again and aim it at her head, Liz snapped out of her daze. Ignoring the pain in her legs, she shouted, "Minister Qiao Siyuan asked me to come."
At that moment, she had completely forgotten the identity she was proud of. She had also forgotten her family's standing in the League. She only felt that if she didn't immediately answer the man's question, the seemingly harmless man would immediately shoot her in the head.
Liz had no doubt that the bullets in the gun possessed such might. Typical bullets could hardly injure her, but that didn't include bullets made of Essence Gold.
There were very few substances on Earth that could injure dimensional creatures. Primordial Gold was one of them, and the An family controlled the largest Primordial Gold mine in the Federation. The Primordial Gold reserves accounted for more than 70% of the entire Earth Federation. It wasn't that there weren't any tycoons who could extravagantly use Primordial Gold to make bullets, but the An family was probably the only one who dared to distribute submachine guns and Primordial Gold bullets to their troops.
"Call Qiao Siyuan." An Tianzuo said casually, but his words were filled with an unquestionable tone.
The white-gloved adjutant handed a cell phone to Liz.
Liz didn't dare hesitate as she immediately dialed Qiao Siyuan's number.
Qiao Siyuan felt a little uneasy. He had a nagging feeling that something was about to happen. Just as he was frowning in thought, he suddenly heard his phone ring.
It was an unknown number. Qiao Siyuan seemed to think of something and pressed the answer button. Then, he said, "I'm Qiao Siyuan. Who are you?"
"I'll give you five minutes. If I don't see you by then, these people who dare offend Sunset College will be executed on the spot." A magnetic man's voice sounded from the phone.
"Hello … Hello …" Qiao Siyuan broke out into a cold sweat. He opened his mouth to say something, but there was a beeping sound from the phone. Clearly, the other party had hung up.
That Liz, what is she doing? I clearly told her to be quick and bring Zhou Wen back before the An family arrives. Why is even An Tianzuo here? Qiao Siyuan felt a headache coming on, but he didn't dare hesitate. He didn't even put on the coat he had placed on the back of his chair before rushing out of the office and heading for Sunset College.
He had long heard of An Tianzuo's style of doing things, but he never expected him to be so domineering. He even dared to execute the daughter of a Senator in the Senate.
The League Parliament was split into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The members of the House of Commons were representatives from various parts of the League and were elected by the citizens.
However, the House of Lords was different. There had always been six seats in the House of Lords. These six seats could only be obtained by people from six families. They were the families of the League's Six Heroes.
The House of Lords had the right to veto the proposals of the House of Commons. It could be said that the entire League government was in fact controlled by these six families.
The Federation President of each realm was also chosen from one of these six families.
And the Special Inspection Bureau that Qiao Siyuan was in was in fact a department directly under the House of Lords. It was also due to the insistence of the House of Lords that a department like the Special Inspection Bureau, which was hated by all, could continue existing in the League.
Liz wasn't considered a smart woman, and the way she did things left Qiao Siyuan uneasy. However, because she was the daughter of a Senator, Qiao Siyuan had no choice but to keep her by his side.
If Liz were to be executed on the spot by An Tianzuo, Qiao Siyuan didn't dare imagine what the outcome would be. He didn't know if An Tianzuo would die, but he knew that he would definitely be killed. There was no way he would be spared.
Outside Sunset College, the nearby roads had been sealed off by soldiers. The students and passersby didn't know what was happening and could only take a detour.
"How long has it been?" An Tianzuo asked casually as he looked at the sky outside.
"Four minutes and forty-three seconds," the adjutant replied respectfully after looking at his watch.
An Tianzuo didn't say a word as he waved his hand. Immediately, a row of soldiers raised their guns and aimed the black muzzles at Liz and the few inspectors' heads from behind.
Liz's body was trembling. She had never been so afraid before. She could tell that An Tianzuo really didn't mind killing her.
Liz wished to say that she was a Senator's daughter and reveal her identity, but she was afraid that the moment she opened her mouth, the seemingly harmless adjutant who always wore a smile would blow her head off.
After looking at his watch for a while, the adjutant turned his head and said respectfully to An Tianzuo, "Overseer, it's time."
"Then carry out the execution," An Tianzuo said indifferently.
"Overseer, wait a moment." Suddenly, they heard a voice coming from the sky. They saw a figure flapping his wings and rushing down from the sky.
The person landed on the ground. It was none other than Qiao Siyuan, whose clothes were drenched in sweat. He had rushed over at full speed and nearly had a heart attack from his anxiety. Thankfully, he had arrived in time.
Upon seeing Liz's broken legs, Qiao Siyuan's heart was filled with bitterness.
"You are Qiao Siyuan?" Although An Tianzuo was sitting in a car and his line of sight was much lower than Qiao Siyuan's, the way he looked at Qiao Siyuan gave him a condescending feeling.
