I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 186 - 180: Demon Ape’s Roar
Jiujiang Mansion Top Floor
The office, a middle-aged man exuding a late-tier six aura stood by the window gently pulling open the curtain, his expression grave as he looked towards the opposite side.
On the rooftop of the opposite building, a red-haired young man stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing this side.
Lee Tae-jun recognized that person, the Deputy Minister of the Celestial Punishment Branch in Demon Sea City, a Tier Seven Saint-level powerhouse, someone he dared not provoke in the past nor in the future.
Lee Tae-jun turned back and looked at Situ Hong, who had just put down the phone behind the desk: "Director Situ, haven't you found out what happened yet?"
Situ Hong shook his head: "No, Director Li from the mayor's office, the head of the Law Enforcement Bureau, and Director Gao all aren't answering my calls, avoiding something."
"As for others, some plead ignorance, while some seem to know something but are reluctant to speak."
As he spoke, the face of Situ Hong, who had experienced decades of ups and downs, also became somewhat grave, with a sense of impending calamity like clouds pressing on a city.
Feeling that today's events were beyond his control.
In the past, no matter the opponent or crisis, at least he knew who the enemy was and could respond using the resources and trump cards at his disposal.
But today...
Situ Hong looked at Lee Tae-jun: "Mr. Lee, don't worry about me later, you rush out and take Bai away, go to the Western Continent Alliance."
"Director Situ, although my mission is to escort you away from Dongqin when in danger, today it might not be possible." Lee Tae-jun smiled bitterly.
"We are already surrounded by Celestial Punishment personnel, and even the Tier Seven Saint-level has appeared; even if the boss was here today, it wouldn't help."
Celestial Punishment! Situ Hong was momentarily stunned, then came to a realization; no wonder Director Li and the others aren't answering his calls, it makes sense if it's Celestial Punishment.
"I haven't offended anyone from Celestial Punishment recently, have I? Why are they looking for me?" Situ Hong frowned deeply.
He was naturally aware of how terrifying Celestial Punishment was, so although the company grew larger and amassed astonishing wealth over the years, he acted cautiously and didn't dare to cross the line.
Lee Tae-jun said slowly: "We can only wait to see what they have to say; with the invisible deterrence of the boss, there might still be a turnaround in today's matter."
"The boss's promotion to Tier Eight's ceremony on the front lines has already begun, and once successful, he would be a significant figure worldwide."
While Situ Hong sat in the office, quietly waiting for the Celestial Punishment people to arrive, outside the building on the street under lockdown, two black military vehicles slowly stopped.
At the same time, the nearby street corners were packed with people eager to watch the spectacle.
The Jiujiang Group, a conglomerate with assets worth billions, standing in Demon Sea for over a decade; witnessing the collapse of such a large group is a rare opportunity.
Among these people were Wang Yanfeng's family and the Li Mengwu and Li Mengyao sisters, Bai Qingyun, Yang Zixuan, and others who came to watch the spectacle.
Under everyone's gaze, a young man with an extraordinary demeanor got out of the car.
Immediately, the head of the Law Enforcement Bureau, the team leader of the Celestial Punishment Branch's action team, and a middle-aged man exuding a late-tier six aura led people to greet him.
The head of the Law Enforcement Bureau said politely: "Minister Jiang, according to your request, everyone in the building has been evacuated, and the surrounding three streets are under lockdown and entry is prohibited."
"Currently, only the chairman of Jiujiang Group, Situ Hong, and the group's consultant, Lee Tae-jun, are inside."
"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Hou turned his head to look at the team leader of the Celestial Punishment Action Team: "Team Leader Chen, are there issues with those people?"
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "The issues are significant. After mental hypnosis interrogation, it was found that those Transcendents of the Jiujiang Group are involved in several murder cases."
Jiang Hou nodded calmly: "Since there are criminal facts, they will be dealt with according to the law."
Today Jiang Hou not only wanted to eliminate Situ Father and Son but also aim to uproot Jiujiang entirely, needing a legitimate reason.
For a loose Extraordinary Organization like Jiujiang, as long as there's a strict investigation, none of those Transcendents would have a clean slate.
However, in the past, their actions were clean, leaving no trace unless a mind-powered Superpower User like today was deployed to destroy their consciousness for interrogation.
"Release me, what are you bringing me here for?"
"Even if I committed a crime, I should be judged in court. I want to see my lawyer."
In the military vehicle behind, as soon as Situ Bai was escorted out, he shouted, feeling inexplicably uneasy as he looked at the well-prepared enforcement officers around him.
Jiang Hou glanced indifferently at the struggling Situ Bai and spoke to all, including Zong Zheng Nan Mo.
"Later on, don't follow me up, evacuate the surrounding crowd, this building is going to collapse." Saying this, Jiang Hou nodded slightly at Wang Yanfeng and others in the distance, then grabbed Situ Bai by the neck.
Bang!
The tiles under Jiang Hou's feet shattered, and in a rumbling sound, he soared into the sky, crashing through the glass and entering the top floor.
Seeing his instantly vanished figure, and the nearly uncontrollable Evil Energy exuding from Jiang Hou, the team leader of the Celestial Punishment Action Team immediately reacted.
"Quick, evacuate the crowd, Jiujiang Mansion is about to collapse."
Whoosh!
Lee Tae-jun's figure flashed and blocked in front of Situ Hong, his expression tense as he looked at Jiang Hou, who exuded an early-tier six aura but gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.
"Dad, save me, save me!" Seeing Situ Hong, Situ Bai became instantly agitated.
But Situ Hong merely glanced at him and then looked gravely at Jiang Hou: "This Celestial Punishment powerhouse, can you tell us what crime our Situ Family committed?"
"Even if we committed a heavenly crime, let us die knowing why."
Until now, Situ Hong still didn't know what happened, completely confused up to now, but he knew he might not survive today.
Jiang Hou said in a low voice: "It's not impossible to tell you, but before that, you must answer me a question."
"Eleven years ago, why did you kill Jiang Feng's family?"
"Jiang Feng..." Situ Hong's face first showed confusion and then gradually recalled something, looking at Jiang Hou's young face, his eyes widened suddenly.
"You, your last name is Jiang!"
Jiang Hou said slowly: "It seems you have remembered."
Situ Hong fell into silence, looking at Situ Bai, who was unable to move, held by Jiang Hou: "...If I tell, can you spare him?"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Hou's gaze was indifferent; the blood feud which nearly exterminated his entire family, leaving only him alive, could only be repaid with the blood of the entire enemy family.
"If you tell, you all might die easier today; if not, I will tear off his arms and legs, letting him die slowly in pain and cries."
Situ Hong's face turned pale, not expecting this young man to be so ruthless, and said with some difficulty.
"Actually, I had no grudge against your family, and as for why that happened, it was because my wife was on the verge of losing control, her jealousy in her heart unable to be suppressed any longer."
"And the object of her jealousy was Wang Jiaqi, who was prettier and more popular than her at the research institute."
"You know, the loss of control of a Transcendent is actually an extreme state of a certain desire or emotion; when it reaches that point, the only option is to release it."
"Helplessly, I..." At this point, Situ Hong stopped.
And at this moment, the entire office fell into silence, only Jiang Hou's uncontrollable terrifying murderous aura permeated, freezing the air.
Jiang Hou had thought of many reasons, such as significant breakthroughs in research at the institute, necessitating silencing by murder, or perhaps it was a crime of passion in anger at a failed pursuit.
But he didn't expect the final reason to be so 'absurd.'
Just because his mother was prettier than Bai Xiaoman, jealousy arose in the other party's heart, which ultimately magnified step by step into a Heart Demon, nearly reaching an uncontrollable state.
"Haha... So this is the reason..." Jiang Hou threw Situ Bai on the ground, covered his face with his right hand, and let out an almost mad laugh.
"Now's the time!"
Boom!
From the moment Jiang Hou appeared until now, Lee Tae-jun, who had been quietly waiting, gave a long howl as his body expanded violently, an aura of a fiend rising to the sky, transforming into a five-meter-tall gray monster and shooting out.
As for Situ Hong and Situ Bai, he didn't care, nor could he; surviving today would be considered lucky for him.
Bam! The glass shattered, and the face of the demon fiend, resembling a Mountain Demon, instantly showed a smile.
But at this moment, behind him, an indescribable terrifying aura burst out.
Roar!
A violent and ruthless roar shook the heavens and the earth, a monstrous hand reached out and grabbed Lee Tae-jun, crushing him.
Boom boom boom!! Beneath the eighty-meter-tall colossal beast, the floors of the building collapsed layer by layer, the oppressive black Celestial Fire on its surface leaped, burning and destroying everything.
In just a moment, Jiujiang Mansion turned into ruins, the ground trembled beneath, stones flew everywhere, kicking up a sky full of dust.
Within the dust, the terrifying beast stood firm, emanating a Heaven and Earth Destruction-like terrifying demonic aura; even hundreds of meters away, it pressed all watching into weakness at the knees.
Roar roar roar!! The dust-covered Purgatory Demon Ape looked up and roared to the sky, the roar filled with extreme anger.
"Is this his true form?"
Seeing Jiang Hou's beast form for the first time, Li Mengwu's eyes were filled with shock, her mind subconsciously recalling the roar accompanying the explosion on the river that night.
