Chapter 970: Chapter 743: Reality Is Truly Ironic
Mu Fan’s eyes…
The AAA peak level [Green Crossbow] mecha was transformed into a field of evenly scattered green fragments.
It was like a scattered and shattered green lotus flower, forcibly pressed into the mountain peak by supreme power.
But half of that mountain peak was wiped out out of thin air. With a slight shake of its arms, dirt and metal fragments shook off from mid-air. The Thunderhawk slowly stood up from half-kneeling on the ground, towering on the mountainside.
The majestic eyes of the Thunderhawk gazed skyward.
All the splendor and wealth, the dignity of all the great families, vanished under this bombardment that descended from the heavens.
“Dead… all dead…”
An officer murmured to himself.
“No, there’s still one person there.”
In the corner of the light screen display, a shivering young man knelt on the ground, holding his head.
He indeed fled to the edge as Mu Fan said, and Mu Fan indeed spared his life as he promised.
Having worked for the Tang family for nearly ten years, he now saw that magnificent scene turn into a devastating ruin in an instant.
The family he once thought nearly invincible crumbled so easily before this mecha.
All his faith collapsed at this moment.
Mu Fan looked coldly at the sky, at the fleet of varying sizes now nearing three hundred.
Councilman Hyman lowered the Sky Communication in astonishment.
The Thunderhawk’s unrestrained killing methods truly stunned him.
At this moment, the old Poison Python of the Tang family was shot in the head by Mu Fan, and the entire Green Wood Villa was destroyed under the overwhelming might of the Thunderhawk.
Two supporting peak Warrior-level mechas also turned completely to fragments.
For a moment, there was no match for the Thunderhawk.
The warships in the sky showed no intention of attacking; all retractable cannon barrels were withdrawn into the warship armor.
For a moment, an eerie calm fell from sky to earth.
The people on Blue Capital Star, watching either on Sky Communication or the light computer screens, were stunned to find that the military had no follow-up response.
That was a mecha bearing military insignia blown up; how could there be no reaction?
Then they realized, just now, the pilot of this Thunderhawk had just killed the head of the Tang family!
In an instant, those momentarily dazed, passionate spectators were thrust to the peak of their emotions.
Creaaak…
Creaaak…
Thunderhawk stepped out of the ruins of the Green Wood Villa, descending the gentle slope.
With every step it took, the surrounding troops couldn’t help but retreat more than ten meters.
Though the heavy weapons weren’t activated, they were all still trained on the mecha.
Mu Fan tilted his head, his gaze sweeping around inquisitively.
Then from Thunderhawk’s head came Mu Fan’s clear, indifferent query: “Anyone else?”
This calm, emotionless voice spread clearly across the land.
But the powerful confidence contained in the voice could be thoroughly discerned.
At this moment, Mu Fan was nothing like the confusion of suddenly gaining immense power.
He was calm, mature, confident.
From extreme violence to extreme serenity, with effortless grace.
In front of Dingchuan Academy, Youshi Wan gasped, covering her red lips in astonishment.
Shao Worshipper’s face froze.
The two seemed as if still in a dream.
“Miss Wan… he, he really just…” Shao Worshipper struggled to speak but couldn’t finish.
“Destroyed the Tang family,” Youshi Wan continued softly yet firmly.
In casual conversation, walking out alone, slaying the heads of the seven major families single-handedly.
Mu Fan, indeed just as the mentor said.
Surpassed age, rising like the morning sun, becoming a towering pillar holding up the firmament in the blink of an eye.
Many others were also awed by Thunderhawk’s serene aura at this moment, and a thought began to spread endlessly in their hearts.
[He achieved what we once dreamed of but never thought possible.]
[In this world, as long as you believe, perhaps miracles truly exist.]
And those Dingchuan Academy students who witnessed this miracle and shocked, repeated only one term in their hearts.
——[Dingchuan, Tyrant]!
A succession of uncontrollable inhalations sounded.
…
After speaking, without hearing any reply, Mu Fan did not linger.
The grand and luxurious thunder wings behind instantly spread wide open.
Then the entire mecha began to slowly ascend, heading for the skies without any attempt to evade.
During Thunderhawk’s ascent, dozens of warships hesitated whether or not to steer clear.
As the on-site commander, Hyman ignored the questioning glances from his subordinates and directed his gaze at the light screen.
On the other side of the light screen, members of the Planet Council were all observing here.
The once-condescending eyes of the silent councilmen now watched the mecha.
“If we just let it leave like this, Blue Capital Star’s government will be disgraced henceforth.”
“Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
…
Everyone’s gazes turned to Councilmen Link and Gaoling Ting.
Representing the seven major families, naturally they were the spokesmen.
“Is Blue Capital Star’s Military Department really planning to keep concealing its strength to the end?” Link said, eyes lowered.
Gaoling Ting remained silent, but his attitude was clearly in agreement.
Tang family’s assets could now be absorbed, but to make themselves look better, it was better to focus attention on that kid.
Thus, unbeknownst to them, some agreement was reached merely through exchanging glances.
Vice Councilman Wilfred Ralph’s holographic avatar projected three-dimensionally into the air, displaying the true likeness of Vice Councilman Wilfred.
Willfred’s expressionless gaze swept around, “He hasn’t even left yet, and you already plan the next step?”
“Link, why not have your Lin family send someone to confront that mecha then.”
“Gaoling Ting, or your family could also step in, and the government will serve as your staunchest backing. Consider it?”
A second of silence…
No one spoke.
“Did I not make myself clear?” Wilfred Ralph smiled seemingly kindly, but his voice was anything but courteous.
The two named showed a hint of unnatural stiffness.
But in the next second, the ever-calm Vice Councilman of the Planet erupted without warning, harshly rebuking, “Nobody dares to go, yet you spout grandstanding nonsense!”
Link flushed with embarrassment after the dressing down, mustering his voice to say, “We’re fulfilling our duties! It’s not our job to take direct action. Given their mode of attack, it clearly exhibits vengeful traits. This person is like a ticking time bomb…”
But Wilfred Ralph’s virtual image raised a hand, signaling Link to stop.
Looking at everyone in the room, he slowly shook his head: “Quietly… let it pass.”
Gaoling Ting’s face turned slightly angry this time: “Vice Councilman, you lead us, but how can we be convinced without reason!?”
Wilfred Ralph, eyes bright and pupils gleaming with intellect, looked at Gaoling Ting, snapping his fingers.
Another stern-faced, authoritative man appeared as an image.
Upon recognizing his face, the soldiers deployed by the military stood in salute.
“Deputy Commander!”
“Hello, Vice Admiral Willcox.”
Politicians at this moment also offered respectful, low greetings.
“S-level peak space-type shooting mecha [Eagle Emperor].”
“S-level peak space-type shooting mecha [Storm God Thunder Eagle]!”
“Do I also need to mention the warship behind them? Now that they have two invincibility medals…”
“Otherwise, shall I give you my position? Consider it?”
A second of silence…
Nobody spoke.
“Is it up to me to move on?” With every word that Vice Admiral Wilfred Ralph’s virtual image said, the temperature seemed to drop a degree.
