I have an eye of truth

#234 - Take down a city lord

The city's top officials couldn't all leave. In the end, some respected elders who hadn't been involved in the incident stayed behind to continue presiding, especially since a memorial service had to be held.

Also, the live broadcast hadn't stopped, so they couldn't just go back like that.

As a result, almost all of the city's top officials left, and even the largest photo was taken down. The memorial service display had an empty space in the middle where the photo should have been, creating a strange sense of humor.

At that moment, the others were pulling Wang Yang around, checking him over.

"That's great, you're okay. We were so worried when we heard you were dead," He Yingxue said, with tears in her eyes.

Wang Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm really fine. But this time was really dangerous. I didn't expect them to use that kind of weapon. If I hadn't avoided the very center and had decent defense, I would have really died."

"By the way, since you're okay, why didn't you notify us?" Zi Qing asked, also relieved.

After all, she had taken on this task, and it was her idea to have Wang Yang act as bait. Originally, with Wang Yang's strength, he should have been able to run back no matter what enemies he encountered.

Unless there were high-level Awakened, but based on their understanding of the surroundings, high-level Awakened were unlikely to appear. That's why Zi Qing made such a decision. But she didn't expect the upper echelons of Trap City to be so insane.

If Wang Yang had really died, Zi Qing would have felt guilty for the rest of her life.

Now that she saw him return unharmed, Zi Qing's originally guilty heart finally calmed down.

"There was no way. That thing destroyed all the communicators, so they couldn't be used at all."

Wang Yang explained why he used the camera; otherwise, he would have used the communicator directly. This time, the city's recording communicators, as well as his own, were all destroyed.

The electromagnetic attack was really devastating to such technological items.

The others nodded, finally understanding why Wang Yang hadn't notified them immediately.

"Later, I thought, since they did this kind of thing, I couldn't suffer in vain, so I hid my identity and came in through the city gate. Anyway, as long as they didn't know my identity for a while, there wouldn't be a problem."

That was true. He was cunning enough, Wang Yang played a time difference, so they didn't have time to discover that Wang Yang had already entered.

Plus, with the space bracelet, he directly brought the evidence in without being discovered.

"As for why I came back so late, it's because I was really seriously injured. If I didn't have the ability to revive, I'm afraid I would have really died outside."

Wang Yang was also afraid for a while. Thinking of the dangerous situation before, if it happened again, he wasn't sure he could survive.

Fortunately, he usually paid great attention to his own safety, constantly increasing his defense and recovery abilities. He originally thought it was a bit much, after all, it was difficult to encounter such a powerful force that could kill him.

But after this incident, Wang Yang knew that he had done the right thing, and even not enough.

If his defense had been stronger at the time, he wouldn't have been so seriously injured.

Speaking of which, if he hadn't upgraded his Battle Qi Armor by another level on the way to the mission, he would definitely not have survived that explosion.

Of course, everyone knew what Wang Yang's life recovery was all about. Seeing the adventurers gradually gathering around, Zi Qing said loudly, "You must be tired after being busy for so long, let's go back and rest."

When the others heard this, they made strange noises, making Zi Qing's face a little red.

These guys must have misunderstood something, but no one intended to explain. After all, the team was all women, and Wang Yang was the only man, so it was normal to be misunderstood.

As for Li Shuang, everyone ignored him; who told him to have a woman's face?

The matter was handled very quickly, because people from other cities nearby also came. Everyone was in this area, so they joined a city alliance.

Many cities formed alliances like this for their own survival. Because it was a matter within the alliance, everyone was qualified to come and inquire.

Precisely because of this, the next day, after a day of arguing, under the pressure of the alliance, the matter was finally resolved. So on the third day, the solution was announced.

As the city lord who made such a major mistake, and even constantly tried to cover it up afterwards, he was no longer qualified to remain in the position of city lord. So he was stripped of all his original duties as city lord on the spot, and at the same time, he would never be hired again. Even the surrounding cities, as long as they were within the alliance, would not hire him.

It could be said that the city lord's political career was over.

Unfortunately, he was not young anymore, and he was not a high-level professional, so he couldn't go anywhere else.

As for being an adventurer, he would definitely be rejected by other adventurers, so that wouldn't work either. What awaited him next was retirement.

At the same time, the people involved in this matter, from the city lord to the executors, and everyone at every level who participated in this matter, as long as they participated, were arrested and interrogated.

Along with this, some things from a long time ago were interrogated. Even if these people could still survive, they would be completely disassociated from power.

These people's resentment towards Wang Yang could be said to be difficult to extinguish.

But Wang Yang didn't care about this. Who told these guys to plot against him?

Similarly, the new officials who replaced them, or the officials who were qualified to replace them, didn't have a good look on their faces towards Wang Yang and others either. After all, Wang Yang had ruthlessly slapped their Trap City in the face this time.

Even if some people were very happy, such as the acting city lord. But in order to show that he was standing on the same front as the others, this person also couldn't show any goodwill towards Wang Yang.

Even after becoming the acting city lord, that person didn't ask Wang Yang once, let alone meet him.

At this moment, as the heroic Sky Battle Team, although there were constant visitors, there wasn't even a single high-level official. This strange scene rarely appeared in history.

"How is it, are you relieved now? None of those guys had a good outcome."

"Aren't they still alive?" Wang Yang rolled his eyes. He wanted to see these people executed.

"Don't be like that. For these people, losing power is more uncomfortable than death. But they represent the city's former high-level officials. For the city's honor and the family's interests, they can't die. This is called being worse than death."

Hearing He Yingxue's words, and seeing Zi Qing nodding, Wang Yang finally felt better. Wanting to die but not being able to, although he couldn't experience it himself, it was relieving to hear.
