I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 269

Ling Pingan picked up his shopping items and hurried to catch a bus.

He got on the bus and swiped the QR code. Ling Pingan found a place and sat down.

Meow!

His pet lay at his feet and purred obediently as if she was very grateful.

Ling Pingan reached out and stroked her head.

The bus started.

Siren…

Siren…

The sound of a police car's horn came from afar.

Ling Pingan looked out and saw a police car coming from the other side of the road.

“The police are fast…” Ling Pingan nodded and praised himself for his intelligence act.

He probably wouldn't have any time to do anything that day if he stayed there any longer.

Notes, inquiries, signatures…

He felt a headache, thinking about the similar scenes he had seen on television.

He hated trouble!

Even going shopping was a punishment, let alone waiting like that?

But…

Siren…Siren…

Another police car appeared.

Ling Pingan raised his eyebrows.

Armed police officers with riot shields appeared at the intersection ahead.

Thus, Ling Pingan knew that something big had happened!

“Is there a murder case?” He scratched his head.

He had only seen similar scenes a few times since he was born.

The bus slowly drove past the intersection. There was no inspection. A police officer only took a look at it and let it pass.

Ma Baobao looked at his hand.

He felt the contact not long ago.

The shadowless fist and inner strength that he had immersed himself in for decades disappeared, the moment he touched that young man.

Not only that…

The inner strength in his diaphragm had also disappeared without a trace.

It was as if it had been sucked dry by something.

That made his hair stand on end.

The phone rang at that moment.

Ma Baobao subconsciously picked it up.

“Old Ma, what's wrong with you?” From the other end of the phone came the voice of the person he had bribed. “Why did you let him go?”

Ma Baobao listened, thought for a moment, and asked, “Help me ask Young Master AO…”

“Is there a secret technique that can make people's inner strength disappear out of thin air?”

The man listened but was baffled.

At that moment.

Siren…Siren…

A police car drove directly towards them from the opposite side.

Ma Baobao looked at the police car that stopped in front of him.

The police officer wearing the Federal Empire's police uniform got out of the car. There was a special emblem on the well-ironed police uniform.

That was the emblem of the Blackguard.

The police officer walked directly to Ma Baobao and expressionlessly showed an arrest warrant, “Criminal Ma Baobao…”

“Your actions are a serious threat to national security!”

“According to the internal discipline of the Blackguard, you are under arrest!”

He walked forward and put a specially made handcuff on Ma Baobao's hand.

Ma Baobao raised his head and looked at him.

He understood that the Blackguard had such power!

Because that department was a violent organization that specialized in handling special matters.

They only dealt with special matters and never involved ordinary cases.

But…

Criminal?

Wasn't he only a suspect?

And…

Seriously endangering national security?

What did he do?

Ma Baobao frowned. That young man just now?

He didn't do anything to him!

Why did he seriously endanger national security?

Ma Baobao opened his mouth and said, “I demand to see a lawyer!”

That was a power that even the Blackguard could not take away!

Coincidentally, he knew a few famous lawyers who specialized in dealing with the Blackguard. These people specialized in studying the internal discipline and system of the Blackguard.

They knew how to take advantage of loopholes and find loopholes.

However, that police officer laughed. “Lawyer?”

“Hehe…”

“Your actions have caused you to lose all of your power!”

He directly grabbed Ma Baobao and stuffed him into the police car.

Ma Baobao had no strength to resist in front of the senior law enforcement officers of the Blackguard.

He was stuffed into the police car and was about to protest when he saw the driver sitting in the police car.

That was the Chief of the Jiangcheng City branch of the Blackguard, Xia Ping.

“Chief Xia…” Ma Baobao immediately showed a fawning smile.

However, Xia Ping looked at him with eyes filled with disgust as if he were a dead man.

It was to the extent that Ma Baobao had a feeling that if it were possible, the Chief of the Blackguard would slap him to death.

“What's wrong with me?” Ma Baobao finally panicked.

Even Xia Ping was alarmed!

Why was this matter so serious?

What was the background of that young man?

Could he be the illegitimate son of the Commander-In-Chief of the Blackguard?

No!

It would not cause such exaggerating scene even if he were

Could it be…

That he was the son of the late Emperor?

“What wrong with you?” Xia Ping was so angry that he laughed. “What you did almost destroyed the world!”

Ma Baobao was stunned.

How did he destroy the world?

What did he do that almost destroy the world?

“The claws of eagles and hounds from the government officers…” Young Master Ao looked at the police car and cursed silently.

For a second-generation demon like him.

The Blackguard was the government officers.

The eagle and hounds of the imperial court who hindered heroes like them and served justice were like the villains in the novels!

Unfortunately…

The reality was not a novel.

In Wuxia novels, the government officials that caused wrath were the sworn enemy of all martial arts heroes.

Everyone would fight to obstruct the government officials if it was possible.

However, the reality was that the Blackguard was the dominant force.

Any random general would be an existence where he beat up other martial arts heroes.

As for the commander-in-chief, he was invincible in the world!

Therefore, the heroes could only bow their heads obediently, put away their claws, and dress themselves up as law-abiding citizens.

Because they would die if they didn't obey the law!

“Bad luck…” seeing Ma Baobao being pushed into the police car, and hearing the sirens of the police car.

Young Master Ao immediately turned around.

That place was not safe for him to stay longer!

He did not want his father to go to the government's office to get him.

If he did that, he would be beaten to death!

But…

Young Master AO had just taken two steps forward when he suddenly stopped.

That was because he could feel that people were coming from all the passageways.

He was smart. He immediately covered his head with both hands and squatted down. At the same time, he took off all the spiritual tools on his body and restrained all the psionic energy in his body.

That was the correct reaction that the foreign species had learned after two hundred years of dealing with the Blackguard!

That was because the foreign species were dangerous targets with transcendent being abilities.

Therefore, the Blackguard was authorized to use all means to enforce the law under the premise that he or the public's safety was threatened!

And the foreign species were marked as ‘unsafe individuals' by the Blackguard the moment they violated the law broke the law.

Therefore, once they encountered resistance in the process of enforcing the law, or they even suspected that there might be resistance.

Especially in such a public place with so many people.

In order to prevent injuring the innocent.

The Blackguard would usually use the fastest and safest method to enforce the law.

Was there any faster and safer method of enforcing the law than killing the suspect?

The people behind Young Master Ao also understood something at this moment.

They all followed Young Master Ao, squatted down, put their hands on their heads, and put down anything that might be dangerous.

No one wanted to be suspected of ‘possibly endangering public safety'.

Everyone knew the consequences of that.

Tap, tap, tap.

The loud sound of military boots could be heard in front of him.

Young Master Ao raised his head and saw an expressionless major.

He smiled and said, “Sir, what's the matter?”

The man did not even want to answer.

He waved his hand and a dozen Blackguard in police uniforms immediately stepped forward and put the spirit-binding handcuffs on everyone's hands.

Then, one after another black bags were put on their head.

It was almost ten o'clock when he returned to the shop.

Ling Pingan closed the shutter door.

He put the things he was carrying behind the counter.

Then, he collapsed on the chair.

“I'm so tired… so tired…”

Although, he didn't feel tired at all.

But…

That was his habit, a kind of self-psychological guidance.

It was meant for hinting to himself not to work so hard.

Meow!

The kitten Bastet was rubbing against his feet intimately, rolling around very cutely.

From what she was doing, Ling Pingan's action of protecting her today had touched the little one very much.

Ling Pingan looked at her and chuckled.

Then, he picked up the little one and stroked her head. “Little one, you are valuable…”

“Two million… Tsk…”

He recalled the old man's offer.

Two million?

It was a huge sum of money!

But he knew that it was a trap.

Because a pie couldn't fall from the sky!

Anything that went against common sense only meant one possibility, which was the old man had other motives!

“It must be two million West Kunlun dollars…” Ling Pingan smiled.

The West Kunlun Gonghe had been in chaos for a long time.

Its legal currency was a joke known to everyone.

The joke was already well-known when Ling Pingan was in university.

If he remembered correctly, the currency of West Kunlun, cost one billion to exchange for a dime of the Federal Empire when they were in the worst state.

Therefore, Ling Pingan felt that the so-called truth of two million was true.

And the scariest thing was that the old man didn't even want to give him this bit of money. Instead, it was a series of traps.

Television had introduced many similar scams.

Rich women wanted children, and Qin Shihuang gave them money…

Once it started, one's rationality was completely stripped away under the influence of greed, and one's IQ would drop to a negative number.

Then, one would be foolishly cheated of everything.

Meow!

The kitten stuck out her tongue and licked the back of her master's hand. She agreed with that.

Situ He put down the phone and looked up at the screen on the monitor.

On the left was the scene of the arrest.

Suspects with black bags on their heads walked out in front of the police cars.

The onlookers were pointing at them.

Gossip was flying everywhere.

On the other side was the mysterious and dangerous bookstore. Everything was very calm.

However, Situ He knew that this was only on the surface.

Commander-in-Chief also said just now.

Tell him to keep his vigor up. He must not let others have a handle on him!

He must stand firm and strictly enforce the law.

Situ He understood. What did that mean?

The owner of the bookstore let go and turned around.

The meaning was obvious, which was ‘I'll give you some reputation'!

Reputation was usually very fragile.

It was the same as trust!

The slightest flaw would cause the trust to fall cleanly.

More importantly, he was willing to give reputation and let the Blackguard deal with it.

If such reputation was humiliated and trampled on.

Guess what would happen?

Anger from humiliation!

No!

Directly start a war!

‘I gave you reputation, but you did not cherish it!'

‘I gave you dignity, but you did not do it right!'

‘Then, there is no other way. I can only teach you what it means to cherish and what it means to be decent!'

‘At that time, everything would be too late!'

Thus, Situ He picked up the phone and dialed Xia Ping's number. “Chief Xia… This is Situ He… bring all the prisoners back and transfer them directly to Jiangcheng City's army base…”

“I'll personally take over the interrogation!”

Situ He knew that there was a difficult problem in front of him now.

This difficult problem was how to balance the law and the target's reputation.

After all, the Blackguard also had their perseverance and pride.

The target was very strong, and it seemed that they could not be defeated!

But…

One had to control the degree of a relationship.

Because, if one were willing to be lowly, then they would be lowly.

People who had lost their personalities would not be treated as humans in the end.

Just like that matter, Situ He could roughly guess some things without needing to interrogate.

Therefore, he needed to grasp the degree of this matter.

The law and the system needed to be respected.

The target also needed to be given sufficient reputation!

That was very difficult!

But he had to do it, no matter how difficult it was!

Situ He stood up and paced back and forth in the meditation room.

“The difficulty of this matter is… I don't know, his attitude and opinions…”

‘Go and ask?'

It was not appropriate!

Because of that involved dignity, and more importantly, the country's dignity and sovereignty.

Situ He was noticeably clear that once such a thing started, then the Blackguard would inevitably become the target's vassal, becoming an obedient insect that obeyed his orders.

If that were the case, then where would the orders of the high sect and the pride and dignity of the Blackguard be placed?

Therefore, maintaining one's independence and dignity was important!

That was an attitude!

It was also a silent declaration.

‘I admit that you're strong!'

‘I also admit that I'm not your opponent!'

‘But…'

‘How can a man bend his knees to curry favor with the powerful?'

‘Respect is mutual.'

‘I respect your strength and recognize your ability.'

‘But, I also have my perseverance and pride.'

That was the Blackguard!

Countless Blackguard had sacrificed and paid for dignity since its establishment.

Tens of thousands of sages had used their flesh and blood to forge the dignity of the Blackguard.

That dignity could not be trampled in his hands.

If that were the case, those heroes who had sacrificed their lives would ask in the afterlife, “Situ He, how is the country now?”? How is the Blackguard?

How would he answer?

Could it be that he was telling them that the Blackguard was now a vassal and a bug that would do anything?

However, Situ He was not a stubborn person.

He also understood that reputation was important for such a strong person.

Especially since the target had already shown respect to the Blackguard.

The moment he let go, the moment he turned around.

It was his attitude!

‘I respect you!'

‘Please respect me too!'

“So… The key is reputation…”

The target's reputation, and the Blackguard's reputation.

Everyone's reputation!

These were all important.

Fortunately, the matter might not be important to the target.

He might only want an attitude.

Situ He's eyes slowly lit up as he thought of that.

“Why didn't I think of it?”

He picked up the phone and dialed the capital's number again.
