Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 558: Chapter 206: President Zhang Skyrockets to Hot Search, News Explodes!

”What do you want to do? I’m asking you, what do you want to do?”

”Put your hands down immediately, right now!”

When Zhang Beixing forcefully slapped the police officer’s hand away, everyone tensed up, their hearts leaping into their throats.

A seasoned police chief glared at Zhang Beixing and bellowed harshly.

It wasn’t strange for them to react this way. So far, the strength and oppressive aura Zhang Beixing demonstrated were simply too powerful, too dangerous. Additionally, on their way there, their superiors had informed them that Zhang Beixing was a Martial Artist. His personal strength was so formidable that he was incomparable to ordinary people.

They had no choice but to treat him cautiously.

Everyone’s fingers were on the triggers. Now, they only needed to gently pull their fingers back. The firing mechanisms of their firearms would activate, and bullets would shoot out.

At such a close distance, even if Zhang Beixing were a Transcendent Cultivator in the Hidden Essence realm, he might not be able to dodge it.

The situation was hanging by a thread, but Zhang Beixing was not panicking.

After slapping the police officer’s hand away, he simply straightened his clothes. His gaze swept over the faces of everyone present. His expression unchanged, he said, ”Speak with your words. Don’t lay hands on me.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present turned grim. They had never encountered such an arrogant and domineering person! Guns were nearly pressed against his head, yet he still acted so nonchalantly.

”Zhang Beixing, I’m warning you for the second time! You are a criminal suspect. Kneel down immediately and surrender, otherwise we’ll consider you as resisting law enforcement, and we have the right to shoot you on the spot!” the veteran police chief shouted, issuing the final ultimatum.

If Zhang Beixing continued to obstinately resist law enforcement, then they wouldn’t waste any more words with him and would directly take extreme measures. After all, Zhang Beixing was just a criminal suspect. His superiors had also said that as long as they could bring Zhang Beixing back, it would be fine.

But faced with the threat of death, Zhang Beixing remained utterly fearless. This was because, ever since the day he left the country, he had made all necessary preparations. Before coming to rescue Lin Pengfei, he had considered everything thoroughly and was not acting rashly.

At this moment, Zhang Beixing lit a cigarette. He casually took a certificate from his pocket and flung it in front of the veteran police chief. ”Arrest me? Kill me? Are you sure?”

Hearing his words and seeing his demeanor, the police chief frowned. He didn’t understand where Zhang Beixing found the audacity to speak to them so calmly when he was at death’s door.

Out of curiosity, the police chief picked up the certificate Zhang Beixing had tossed over. He examined it intently. After seeing the contents clearly, he was stunned.

On the certificate Zhang Beixing had thrown, four neat lines of text were written:

[Great Xia Martial Arts Association President’s Certificate.]

[By unanimous decision of this association, ’Zhang Beixing’ is hereby appointed as the President of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association, enjoying the treatment and status of a bureau-level cadre!]

[This certificate takes effect immediately upon issuance!]

[Great Xia Martial Arts Association, October 20, 2018]

!!!

Seeing the words on the certificate, the police chief was profoundly shocked.

The position of President of the Great Xia Martial Arts Association might not mean much in itself. But the subsequent status and treatment of a bureau-level cadre—that was a big deal!

Although they weren’t from the same country, the hierarchical systems were more or less the same everywhere. Bureau-level was a rank that, in their jurisdiction, only the Deputy Mayor of Bangkok or the Chief of the Police Department could hold. Furthermore, a bureau-level official in Great Xia held even higher status!

And the man before them was apparently of this high rank. This...

Could this certificate be fake? At first, this thought surfaced in the police chief’s mind. But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because the official Great Xia seal on the certificate could not be forged. The certificate had to be real.

Now this was a problem! The police chief felt a headache coming on.

When they had set out, his superiors hadn’t mentioned this detail to him! They weren’t part of the Martial Arts circle. Additionally, Zhang Beixing was only known in Great Xia; he wasn’t famous enough for the whole world to recognize him.

So, they had always thought Zhang Beixing was merely a strong, unknown fighter. It never crossed their minds that he was such a prominent figure with status!

It was a good thing they hadn’t acted. Otherwise, if this got out, Great Xia would surely not let it go and would demand an explanation. And as soon as Great Xia forcefully intervened in the investigation, even if the official outcome was that everything was normal, their dirty laundry would still be aired.

The dirty deeds committed by those present were numerous. But usually, everyone maintained a tacit understanding, and no one spoke of them. If this veneer of respectability were ripped away, they could face life imprisonment at best, or execution on the spot at worst.

Moreover, since powerful figures backed each of them to some extent, this situation could result in a profound upheaval within the Tai Luo Kingdom. This was absolutely unacceptable!

Dammit, we’ve been set up! the police chief cursed inwardly.

He then looked at Zhang Beixing, momentarily at a loss. On one hand, Zhang Beixing’s identity was terrifying, making him wary. On the other hand, he dared not defy his superiors’ orders.

Caught in the middle, regardless of his choice, he would anger one side, leaving him in an impossible position.
