Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 264 - 259: Why Do They Just Collapse at the Slightest Provocation?

Chapter 264: Chapter 259: Why Do They Just Collapse at the Slightest Provocation?

Lao San and Lao Si quickly walked over.

They directly slammed into the officer blocking them, reaching out towards Ji Ning and Ye Tong.

Ye Tong, who was reflexively trained over a long period, dodged his hand and skillfully landed a punch on Lao Si, distancing herself from him, and ran behind the other officers.

Continuing to provoke, she said, "Are you furious out of humiliation?"

The officer protecting her nearly spat out. Is this girl pretending to be dumb or is she actually dumb?

At this point, she should just stop talking...

"Comrade, let’s talk this out..."

"Ah——"

A man’s scream.

Ye Tong thought the officer guarding her had been harmed, but when she turned around, she saw the superpower user attacking Ji Ning kneeling on the ground, his arm bent at a strange angle.

"How dare you—"

A furious shout.

The leader of the superpower users quickly made a move on Ji Ning. His ability was Wood Element, and with a wave of his hand, ordinary trees suddenly swayed their branches and leaves, with the leaves shooting towards Ji Ning like arrows.

At the same time, a wave of spiritual pressure bore down on her head.

Ji Ning coldly smiled, raised her hand, and rapidly drew a circle in the air, causing the kneeling Lao San to directly lift into the air, taking the brunt of all the "hidden weapons."

And Lao Er’s spiritual attack was also countered by an even stronger spiritual control, making him spew out a mouthful of blood with a "puff."

He looked at Ji Ning, clutching his chest in disbelief.

"You’re a superpower user!"

Ji Ning’s lips curled as she softly said, "Correct, but unfortunately, there’s no reward."

Immediately following, Ji Ning suddenly vanished from Lao Er’s sight, but he heard muffled groans from Lao Da and Lao Si. When she reappeared, she was only half a meter away from him.

Severe pain spread from his abdomen, as if his stomach had been punched through.

The sudden development left the onsite officers momentarily stunned, then they cautiously drew their weapons, aiming at Ji Ning.

What’s going on?

Why did things escalate to this point?

Ye Tong panicked at the sight, quickly pushing away the officers in front of her, "What are you doing?"

But a nearby police officer held her arm.

"Don’t move!"

Ji Ning ignored the guns pointed at her, slowly walking up to the leader of the superpower users, asking calmly, "Are you sure you still want to interrogate us?"

The leader’s expression shifted slightly, as his vigilant gaze kept scrutinizing Ji Ning, "Who are you?"

The high-level superpower user in front of him had already seen through their identities but chose not to reveal it publicly, clearly wanting something from them.

Uncertain of Ji Ning’s identity, he dared not act rashly.

Their conversation left the surrounding police officers with a sense of powerlessness from being ignored.

This is the difference in strength.

None of the officers stepped in to interrupt their conversation; instead, they quietly reported the situation, waiting for their superiors to send reinforcements.

Ji Ning crossed her arms, looked at him and sneered, then casually glanced at Ye Tong, saying indifferently, "Her manager."

The leader of the superpower users was momentarily taken aback, then turned to seriously scrutinize Ye Tong.

It seemed he was trying to see what was so special about her that she could make a high-level superpower user become her manager.

Could she have connections with some big shot?

As he was lost in wild thoughts, Ji Ning casually told the two officers restraining Ye Tong, "Be gentle, my artist has to join the ’War God’ crew in a couple of days."

Receiving Ji Ning’s cue, Ye Tong cooperated, "Yes, officer, I’m not a bad person. I’m really an actress. If you don’t believe me, you can contact the ’War God’ crew’s director, Lin Anqing. My Sister Ning has his number..."

Lin Anqing was quite famous, not only in the industry but also having a considerable impact among audiences.

At least all the officers present grew up watching his films and TV shows.

Especially the first edition of ’War God,’ considered a classic, which was rebroadcast every year on various channels during winter and summer holidays.

Lin Anqing’s name had repeatedly appeared in those classics.

"Do you really know Director Lin Anqing?" one of the officers holding Ye Tong’s arm asked, somewhat excitedly.

His colleague beside him quickly coughed, at which he composed himself but loosened his grip on Ye Tong’s arm slightly.

Ye Tong nodded hurriedly, "My Sister Ning is the action consultant for the crew and has a very good relationship with Director Lin."

They couldn’t reveal Sister Ning’s identity as a Security Bureau agent, so other professions were fair game.

"But she’s..."

"Are you saying she’s a superpower user? Who said superpower users can’t be action consultants and managers? My Sister Ning finds jobs based on her interests."

Ye Tong’s words left everyone puzzled.

They looked Ji Ning up and down in surprise, as if she were some rare creature.

But they admired Ye Tong even more; she had a high-level superpower user as her manager, as if it was the most natural thing.

She truly had a big heart, didn’t she?

Ji Ning glanced at Ye Tong, then looked at the leader of the superpower users, saying indifferently, "Shall we talk?"

The leader’s pupils shrank, and after a long while, he said to her, "Please—"

He gestured towards the beach.

The police surrounding them hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to intervene as the two seemed about to leave, looking towards their captain for guidance.

The captain gave them a signal to let them pass.

The sunlight on the beach was still glaring.

Ji Ning’s spiritual power swept through the bushes nearby; the person was still there, which was smart of them.

"So, what’s your next plan?" Ji Ning asked.

The leader of the superpower users looked at her blankly for a moment, then instead of answering, confidently asked, "You’re from the Beijing Security Bureau?"

"At least you’re smart."

The leader was stunned by her candid admission.

Admitting so readily, wasn’t she afraid he would pass the information to Gunan County?

But as if reading his mind, she continued, "Don’t think about reporting; your communicators have been disabled. And don’t think about escaping; as of now, no one has ever escaped from me."

The leader of the superpower users felt uneasy hearing this. How could it be impossible for the four of them to escape?

"Do you feel a slight pain in your abdomen, something like muscle soreness?"

The leader’s expression cracked instantly, clutching his stomach with a pained look, "Did you drug me?"

Ji Ning’s lips curved upward, confirming his suspicion, "So, tell me, what’s your next plan? How do you plan to take people out of Peng City? Who are your contacts within the Huang Family? Are you going to Beizhou or West Continent after boarding the ship? Who’s your employer?"

As Ji Ning fired off one question after another, the leader felt utterly exposed.

This frail-looking young woman in front of him seemed to have almost complete control over their next moves; had they not encountered her in advance and continued with their plan, she could also have used them to board the ship and find their employer.

She might even have quietly replaced them.

The leader’s face turned pale, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides, feeling a lingering sense of powerlessness.

This was the first time on a mission encountering such a troublesome opponent, it was deadly!

"What benefits do we get by cooperating with you?"
