A nonchalant smile.
Four icy phrases.
This scene was broadcast live to the public network through countless cameras from Sky Communication, then further spread.
In an era of information explosion, the spread of a single sentence far exceeds your imagination.
The photographer with the long-focus lens was so excited at that moment he was nearly bursting, because the youth had been looking directly at him the whole time.
This was simply the perfect angle!
He was undoubtedly the luckiest media person present that day, so he very cooperatively gave Mu Fan a close-up of his face.
Every twitch of the youth's facial muscles was clearly captured.
Oh no, the youth's facial muscles didn't twitch at all, which made the smile look even more chilling.
This was the effect!
The reporter who came with the photographer excitedly lowered his voice and asked, "Pearson, did you get that, just now?"
After pressing the capture button and transmitting the video, the photographer named Pearson also nodded excitedly.
The few people closest to them looked at them with envy, but only briefly.
Because the event itself was the biggest news, whether it was the fact of the murder, the parties involved, or the atmosphere at the scene. These were all perfect news material.
When Mu Fan's voice fell, the listeners onsite felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet and explode up their backs.
Hiss...
This was, a declaration of war!
And it was a declaration made specifically after waiting for these uncrowned kings to arrive.
Was this guy crazy?
Other than a few people who understood the dark forces, most present had never heard about the Night Teeth Team, but there was a thing called the Light Computer network, an information superhighway in this world.
Immediately, many started searching on Sky Communication.
However, the results left them with goosebumps and profoundly shocked.
[Night Teeth Team, a supernova of the Dark World! An S-level Mercenary Group, nicknamed "Dark Night Executioner"! Entirely comprised of mutants, their exact number unknown, independent from the power rating systems of the Federation and the Empire, possessing supernatural powers. They stop at nothing, their members ruthless, their crimes beyond recounting, and according to incomplete statistics, the number of people killed by the Night Teeth Team's assaults has surpassed 150,000…]
The information available in a short time had completely stunned the spectators onsite.
However...
Their gazes turned to the center of the venue, where the youth stood naturally defiant, having just officially issued the most direct challenge to the Night Teeth Team.
"What a terrifying scheme, what a powerful will!" Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang muttered to himself, his eyes focused on Mu Fan.
He had been enduring until now, just to declare war openly.
This kind of person was not truly crazy, he was truly terrifying to the extreme.
Yet, this event unfolded in a public setting, but still could not serve as a reason for Mu Fan to evade responsibility.
"So this is your justification for publicly committing murder? Within the jurisdiction of Zhongjing City on Blue Capital Star, publicly committing murder."
When Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang spoke, silence fell over the scene again.
It was then that they remembered what exactly they were here for.
Unseen by many and nearly forgotten, the police on the scene, led by an officer whose face bore a curious expression, his brow furrowed as he pondered something after hearing the name Night Teeth Team.
But the focal person of the scene, Mu Fan, directly reminded him with his words what he was pondering.
Mu Fan's left hand closed, hiding the jade-like luster of the Blood Teeth in his palm, his arms hanging by his side, he looked at Gu Jiang with an expressionless face.
Just as Gu Jiang's face showed a hint of disdain and furrowed his brow, Mu Fan finally spoke softly:
"Indeed, I am a Federation Reserve Officer, and under normal circumstances, what you said is beyond reproach. However, your information seems a bit outdated."
When he said this, not only was Lieutenant Colonel Gu Jiang taken aback, but even Lindberg beside him furrowed his brow.
This student seemed overly audacious, and in his view, a moment of bravado was not enough to judge whether a person was truly powerful.
Arrogant words spoken, then tomorrow he'll be dead on the streets.
He had seen this happen many times.
However, Bach did not show any distaste, as he seemed to recall some rumor.
Mu Fan displayed a mocking smile and said on his own:
"I am a holder of the Centurion Medal of the Federation, you should know what this medal can do."
Centurion Medal?
What is that?
A group of reporters started bowing their heads once again, intensely searching Sky Communication for this military-related information.
Lieutenant Colonel Gujiang muttered, "Centurion Medal, distinguished military service, killing without consequence..."
This statement from Mu Fan was even more shocking than his last.
Because the Intelligence Department did not provide him with this information when it supplied the intelligence!
Damn it!
He, a Lieutenant Colonel of the Blue Radiance Special Forces, had been undercut by his own colleagues.
No wonder when he received this mission, he wondered why they didn't choose the geographically closer Second Squadron but instead assigned it directly to him, with the War Department being vague.
And Lindberg, who had recently been too busy to pay attention to lower-grade information, was all the more unaware of this.
The silencing order on the 131 Planet incident, the Centurion Medal which Ruan Xiongfei had discreetly reclaimed, the conferring information that the War Department had always kept secret out of certain considerations.
Finally, today it hit Lindberg hard like a bombshell.
But, this was not the end!
Anger surged in Gujiang's heart, "And now, you plan to use the Centurion Medal to forcefully negate everything?"
Mu Fan simply shook his head.
It was only then that people realized that this young man had been controlling the tempo the whole time, and that everyone had unwittingly fallen into the rhythm of his speech.
But even if people realized it, they still listened, as he was undeniably the protagonist of this incident.
Mu Fan looked at Gu Jiang, then at two senior instructors from the academy, shaking his head.
"With the Centurion Medal, I just want to say that even if I killed someone out of malice today, I could be completely exempted, but unfortunately..."
People saw Mu Fan shrug his shoulders, then casually pointed to the side.
"That dead fat guy, Morris. A level five mutant of the Night Teeth Team, an S-class fugitive of the Federation, with a bounty of 7.5 million Star Coins. Oh yeah, this is the bounty notice issued by the Federation Security Bureau five years ago."
The onlookers were all astounded, inhaling sharply.
A shocking twist in the tale had occurred!
Mu Fan smiled routinely, "And just now, I completed that warrant."
All expressions on Gujiang's face turned to stupefaction; he stiffly turned his head, looking toward the nearly ignored police officers in the corner.
"Is what he said... true?"
The leading officer spoke with difficulty, nodded, and said, "If the information on the deceased is correct, then yes, it's true."
As these words were spoken, flashlights lit up the area.
Reporters and onlookers alike recorded the scene in their own ways.
And of course, they also photographed the corpse of the bald fat man lying in the corner.
Then through the Light Computer network, it quickly spread.
Zhongjing City, Blue Capital Star, the Fourth Star District...
On a distant planet 4.6 light-years away, outside the ruins of a town, a burly man shrouded in a large cape.
He was indifferently looking at the Sky Communication in his hands—the terribly mutilated body on its screen—
It was so conspicuous.
