Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Troublesome Little Devil

The situation ahead was dire.

Before Qin Tianxuan could even give the order, Battle Pavilion Wutian let out a roar and charged forward.

As a renowned general of the battlefield and a former War God, Wutian’s attacks were lethal. The burly men from the security department fell one by one, screaming in agony.

”Ma’am, are you alright?” Wutian cleared a path as he fought his way over and helped Han Biwei to her feet.

”Ah, you’re a friend of Tianxuan’s? Quick, save my teacher!”

Teacher Wang had already been struck with a baton, and her head was bleeding profusely.

But the security guards were in a much worse state. Wutian’s attacks grew even more ruthless, and he soon returned with Teacher Wang and a few injured parents.

Ahead, dust and sand filled the air.

Qin Tianxuan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face a mask of fury. ”Using long batons and shields... Has the Su City security department gone insane?”

Wutian sneered. ”They’re clearly used to throwing their weight around. Sir, let’s find a place and ask what’s going on.”

So they took the handful of pathetic-looking parents and, supporting Teacher Wang, retreated to a nearby alley.

Two of the parents, who had come from the countryside, burst into tears and immediately knelt to thank them.

Wutian helped them up and carefully questioned them.

Upon learning the full story, even a battle-hardened veteran like Wutian was trembling with rage.

He turned and said through gritted teeth, ”Sir, we have to do something about this!”

Han Biwei, having calmed down by now, quickly stopped them. ”Let’s report this to the proper authorities. We can’t be reckless!”

Wutian shook his head. ”Ma’am, if we don’t handle this right now, who knows what story they’ll tell later? They might even frame us for starting this whole mess!”

Han Biwei stomped her foot. ”That’s exactly why you can’t just go in fighting! There are only two of you. Do you really think you can take on the entire security department?”

At that moment, Qin Tianxuan spoke up. ”Weiwei, take them and find somewhere safe to wait. Wutian and I won’t do anything rash. We’ll report this to the higher-ups right away.”

Han Biwei’s face was filled with worry. ”Promise me you won’t do anything reckless. You can’t get into trouble. If you get arrested for assault, what will our child and I do?”

Qin Tianxuan squeezed her hand and smiled. ”There’s no one in this world who can arrest me.”

His powerful presence took Han Biwei by surprise.

’Maybe it’s because he was a soldier?’

Han Biwei led the others away.

The moment they were gone, Qin Tianxuan’s expression darkened. ”Schools are the foundation of a nation! Education is a plan for the ages! Wutian, you have free rein.”

Free rein!

’Alright!’

Wutian immediately took out his phone and dialed Governor Chen Hai’s number.

The call went through, but someone else answered. ”Hello, who is this? This is an internal line for the Su City municipal office. How did you call this number from a cell phone?”

Wutian frowned. ”I’m looking for Chen Hai.”

”Hah! And who are you? You think you can just say our Governor’s name like that? Have some respect!”

Wutian was furious. ”Put Chen Hai on the phone!”

”Fuck, you psycho!” the person on the other end cursed before hanging up.

Wutian was stunned.

”Is Chen Hai looking for a death wish? He won’t even take my call!” Battle Pavilion Wutian was furious.

Qin Tianxuan raised a hand slightly. ”Call again.”

He called again, and the same idiot answered, this time spewing a stream of curses. ”What the fuck is your name? Believe it or not, I’ll have the communications department trace you! This won’t be a simple matter for you then, you motherfucker!”

Chen Hai was currently in an important meeting and, as was his custom, didn’t have his cell phone on him. The internal line was being answered by a junior section chief in his office.

Relying on his position in the Governor’s office—the highest authority in Su City—the man couldn’t be bothered with some inexplicable phone call.

Back at the school, Wutian was livid and about to contact the highest-ranking official in Jiangnan County directly.

Qin Tianxuan said coldly, ”Connect me to the Second Elder of the Celestial Hall. Repeat my words verbatim. Since Governor Chen is incapable of handling this, I have no choice but to go to him.”

’He’s truly enraged now.’

Wutian immediately used his personal access to contact the Celestial Hall Elder responsible for the Jiangnan Region.

The moment the call was made, the Imperial Capital Celestial Hall was also alerted.

A secure line directly from the Imperial Capital, marked as urgent, was patched through to the Su City Strategic Office.

Someone from the office rushed the secure phone into the meeting room.

Chen Hai was stunned. ”From the Imperial Capital Celestial Hall? They... they skipped four levels of command to reach me?”

Anxiously, he stood up straight to answer.

On the other end, the Second Elder of the Celestial Hall directly relayed the events at Tianjiao Primary School.

Then his tone grew harsher, practically a verbal finger pointed at Chen Hai’s forehead. ”I will convey Mr. Qin’s exact words to you. He said, ’Governor Chen is incapable of handling this, so I had no choice but to find him’! So let me ask you now, Governor Chen, are you truly incapable? Hmm?”

Chen Hai was already drenched in sweat, the veins on his forehead bulging.

The Grand Elder from the Imperial Capital began to roar, ”Are you mute? Fuck! You’re forcing an old man like me to curse! If you can’t do it, then get the hell out! I’ll find a new Governor of Su City myself!”

Chen Hai nearly dropped his phone. He gritted his teeth and roared back, ”I will handle it, sir! Rest assured! If I can’t deal with those bastards, I’ll bring you my head!”

”I don’t want your head! I just want you to get this done! Weren’t you once one of the Night Emperor’s subordinates? Try showing some of that Battle Department spirit!”

The call disconnected.

Governor Chen Hai felt like he was about to suffocate from the sheer frustration.

And just then, the phone rang again.

It was his old commander from the Battle Department, Li Changshan!
