No? You've really mastered the Five Thunderbolts of Orthodox Magic from online shopping?

Chapter 207 Why didn't I strike first and kill them?

Upon hearing this, Su Aoxue and everyone in the branch office changed their expressions.

The ten major sects and families joined forces...

This whole setup... are they really determined to take down Luo Chen?

To be honest, even if Luo Chen were to be killed, it would be an unprecedented event.

He was alone, yet so many powerful figures came to deal with him.

I ask you... who else gets this kind of treatment!

Even in defeat, there is honor!

If Luo Chen can survive or even win under these circumstances, he will truly be unprecedented and a groundbreaking figure.

Su Aoxue's face was also filled with shock, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't headquarters send anyone to provide support?"

"Isn't Luo's talent and ability enough to warrant headquarters' intervention?"

Upon hearing this, Old Su shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He didn't explain to Su Aoxue, but simply said, "Since Enforcer Luo isn't here, let's disperse!"

"Manager Bai, make the arrangements. Make sure the branch office and all the people we brought are settled in. West Lake City is destined to be anything but peaceful for the foreseeable future!"

"By the way, please inform the relevant departments as well, just in case something goes wrong!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Bai nodded and left with his men.

Soon only Old Su and Su Aoxue remained in the branch office.

"Grandpa, can you tell me now?"

Su Aoxue was so curious that she couldn't help but ask.

Elder Su then spoke up: "Because there are also people at headquarters who want Luo Chen dead!"

This answer left Su Aoxue completely dumbfounded.

She looked at Elder Su in disbelief and said, "This...this is impossible! How could someone with Luo's talent and strength..."

Old Su could only manage a wry smile: "The Super Management Bureau has been established for many years, and its nature has long since changed. It's internally corrupt. Luo Chen's appearance has not only disrupted the current balance between the Super Management Bureau and the hidden families and sects, but also the delicate balance within the Super Management Bureau itself!"

"In their view, the future or fate of the Supermarket Management Bureau is irrelevant to them; what they care about is that they can still sit in their positions and continue to reap the benefits!"

This explanation left Su Aoxue dumbfounded; she found it hard to believe.

But Old Master Su stood up, patted Su Aoxue on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaoxue, some things aren't as simple as you think!"

"You'll find out some things sooner or later!"

"The reason these ten major sects and families entered West Lake is supposedly because the hidden sects wanted to kill Luo Chen, but in reality, it's because someone at headquarters wants to suppress him, or rather, wants Luo Chen dead!"

Old Su still didn't continue.

Some things are best left unsaid; it's not appropriate to go into detail.

He looked at the dazed Su Aoxue and said again, "Alright, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest!"

"The next few days are destined to be anything but peaceful in West Lake City!"

After saying that, Old Su slowly walked out.

But Su Aoxue was still in shock!

She seems unable to process these things!

the next day!

early morning.

On a cliff, Luo Chen suddenly stood up.

Feeling the surging power within him, he finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The laughter was extremely arrogant!

Although his cultivation level was still only at the first level of the initial stage, his combat power had increased several times.

The Bodhi Breaking Illusion Sword Qi has been enhanced, and the Nine Heavens Thunder Control Technique has also been strengthened considerably.

The golden statue of the prison-suppressing deity has undergone a qualitative change.

What pleased Luo Chen the most was that he had managed to create a soul attack.

He named it Soul Storm!

As for its power... Luo Chen hasn't tried it, but theoretically it should be very strong.

"It's time to go back!"

He took out his phone, only to find that it had been switched off for a long time!

Luo Chen didn't linger, but considering it was daytime, he had no choice but to fly his sword to a deserted highway before summoning BYD and rushing back to the city.

Around noon, Luo Chen finished showering and was eating when he finally turned on his phone and found a series of missed calls from Su Aoxue, as well as Wang Qiudie.

Then came the flood of messages.

Luo Chen's lips twitched, but he also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he quickly opened Su Aoxue's chat dialog box.

After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it wasn't those bastards who made the move.

However, he was somewhat surprised that Elder Su and Steward Bai came in person.

He then called Su Aoxue back.

Su Aoxue was overjoyed; who could understand this feeling of redemption?

After giving a brief explanation, Luo Chen hung up the phone.

After finishing his meal, he went straight to the branch office.

Inside the branch office, Elder Su and Manager Bai were waiting. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Luo Chen had finally appeared.

Manager Bai couldn't help but say, "You brat... I almost thought you'd run away!"

Luo Chen smiled awkwardly, not expecting so many things to happen on this trip.

Looks like I'll need to bring a power bank when I go out from now on!

Old Su coughed lightly before speaking, "Enforcement Officer Luo, you should already know why we've come!"

"I'll be frank, we now know of at least ten reclusive sects and families that are planning to take action against you!"

"And this doesn't even include people from Siam and Japan..."

"So, do you understand what situation you're facing now?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen frowned, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know their names and exact locations?"

"Ideally, I'd also like a copy of detailed information about their family or sect!"

Steward Bai: "????"

What does "no" mean?

Old Su was also dumbfounded. Was this right?

Is this what you should be saying right now?

Old Su paused for a moment, then suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

But she still patiently said, "Luo Chen, this matter is no small thing, don't be so... impulsive..."

Luo Chen said, "I wasn't acting impulsively!"

"They want to fuck me to death, then I'll fuck them to death!"

"That makes perfect sense!"

"Besides, there are only two possible outcomes now: I'll be killed by them, or they'll be killed by me!"

"So why can't I strike first and kill them?"

These words left Old Master Su and Steward Bai speechless, unsure how to respond.

But upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense.

But this...

They couldn't quite put their finger on what was wrong, but it was just very strange.

Luo Chen added, "Furthermore, their main force should already be in West Lake City. Wouldn't it be perfect for me to go directly to their sect's stronghold and wipe those guys out?"

Old Su had fallen completely silent.

He didn't know how to answer!

I have never found these words so difficult to say.

Just then, the man with the slicked-back hair walked in, and his expression was not good.

But in his hand he was holding a letter.

"Um... this is the challenge they sent over..."

He didn't even dare to speak loudly. After handing the letter to Old Master Su, he quickly hid to the side, worried that Luo Chen would be angry and promote him...
