Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

”Insignificant fools, who else comes to seek death?!”

”FUCK!”

Hearing Zhang Beixing’s outrageously arrogant statement, Charles was the first to lose his composure, cursing under his breath. He immediately pulled out a gun from his pocket, ready to go out and confront Zhang Beixing.

But before he could get far, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him. It was their boss from the D&E Ancient Rome lab, Diablo. He stopped Charles.

”Boss, what do you mean by this?” Charles asked in confusion, seeing Diablo’s action.

Diablo coldly observed Zhang Beixing for a moment, then glanced at the crowd, which had been thrown into utter chaos by Zhang Beixing’s killing. He shook his head. ”There’s no need. His arrogance won’t last long!”

Where were they? This was the city center of Ancient Rome—the liveliest, most prosperous area, and the one with the highest foot traffic. Every day, tens, even hundreds of thousands of people passed through here! Even though it was morning and the crowd wasn’t particularly large, the fact that Zhang Beixing had killed someone here was bound to get out. It would spread like wildfire. When that happened, all they needed to do was fan the flames from behind the scenes. So what if their people had drawn their guns first? They could still easily paint Zhang Beixing as a murderous fiend. Given how much attention Zhang Beixing currently had, the condemnations from all sides would be incredibly intense. Not to mention, after this incident, the Rome police would certainly get involved. Therefore, all they had to do was wait!

With this thought in mind, Diablo was sure of victory. He believed that Zhang Beixing wouldn’t be able to maintain his arrogance for much longer. So he stood there, arms crossed, watching Zhang Beixing with a playful smirk, waiting to see Zhang Beixing captured by the arriving Rome police.

However, Diablo waited for half an hour. The blood flowing from the security guard’s corpse had even begun to dry, but there was still no sign of the Rome police.

What’s going on?! Noticing this, Diablo’s brows furrowed. He turned his head towards Kang beside him. ”Kang, go find out what’s happening. Are the Rome police all dead or something?”

Hearing his order, Kang nodded and left. He wasn’t gone long before returning, his expression as dark as water. ”Boss, the Rome police say they have an emergency to deal with and can’t make it anytime soon!”

”FUCK!” Hearing Kang’s words, Diablo instantly understood the real situation. The Rome police having an emergency was a lie; the truth was likely that they were unwilling to come for some reason! After all, what emergency could be more important than dealing with Zhang Beixing committing murder in public?

”These parasites! All our taxpayer money has gone to waste!” he cursed under his breath. Diablo felt irritated and waved Charles over. ”Charles, you station some men here to watch Zhang Beixing. Don’t let him make any rash moves. Everyone else, return to your posts. I refuse to believe he can keep this standoff going with us indefinitely!”

After speaking, he left without lingering any longer and went straight into the elevator. Kang followed closely behind.

Old Zam cast a lingering look at Zhang Beixing, then shook his head and walked away, his hands clasped behind his back.

Soon after, only Charles and Zhang Beixing remained in a standoff. Watching Zhang Beixing, who stood blocking the doorway with his gun, Charles couldn’t help but recall Zhang Beixing’s earlier words. Rage burned within him. But Diablo had given him orders before going upstairs. Moreover, the sight of Zhang Beixing killing someone with a single, chilling shot was truly unnerving. Therefore, Charles didn’t dare to confront Zhang Beixing rashly and began to deploy his men.

While he was deploying his men, just as Diablo had predicted, Zhang Beixing indeed seemed unable to continue the standoff.

It wasn’t that he lacked patience. Rather, he realized there was no need to keep dragging this out with them.

After shooting the security guard, Zhang Beixing had stood there for half an hour. During that time, other than the crowd of onlookers growing larger, with many taking pictures and videos of him on their phones, nothing else had happened. The police hadn’t come. Interpol hadn’t arrived either.

Noticing this, Zhang Beixing knew Zhou Zhenghua must have held up the local Rome police, preventing them from arriving anytime soon. Since the Rome police haven’t shown up... ”Then I have no reason to keep dragging this out with you,” he muttered to himself. ”Do you really think hiding in there means you’re safe?!”

After half an hour of silence, Zhang Beixing finally moved. He lifted his foot, stepped over the security guard’s body, and walked forward.

Noticing Zhang Beixing’s movement, the security guards inside the D&E Experimental Building all sensed something was wrong. They immediately drew their guns and aimed them at Zhang Beixing. The surrounding bystanders also sensed that Zhang Beixing was about to act, each pulling out their smartphones to take pictures and record.

Under their watchful eyes:

CLANG—!

With a sharp sound, Zhang Beixing kicked open the glass doors of the D&E Experimental Building and strode inside.

Almost simultaneously, the security guards, who were already prepared, aimed their guns at Zhang Beixing and pulled their triggers in unison.

BANG, BANG, BANG—!

Muzzles flashed as bullets erupted from the barrels.

In response, Zhang Beixing merely shot them a sidelong glance. The Postnatal Five Qi he had long been cultivating instantly stimulated the acupoints in his legs. In a flash, terrifying power erupted from beneath his feet. Zhang Beixing took a step, moving like lightning.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH—!

Bullets grazed Zhang Beixing’s clothes, passing behind him.

Those present only saw a blur before their eyes. When they focused their vision again, they found Zhang Beixing had appeared beside them at some unknown moment, swinging his long spear at them. Vaguely, they heard Zhang Beixing utter a single phrase: ”Sweeping Through a Thousand Foes!”

WHOOSH—!

The long spear swept past. Before the security guards could even react to what was happening, they felt a sharp pain at their waists. Their vision tilted, and a pair of familiar legs appeared before them—their own! With that single strike, Zhang Beixing had sliced them in half at the waist!

RING, RING, RING, RING—!

An urgent alarm blared. Red lights began to flash in every room of the D&E Experimental Building, signaling an unauthorized intrusion.

Hearing the commotion, Diablo froze. He had just taken the elevator to the eighteenth floor and was sitting down to review documents. He immediately ordered Kang, who was beside him, to bring up the surveillance feeds and check what had happened downstairs while he was busy.

He saw that downstairs, Zhang Beixing, who had previously been standing outside the door, had already broken in. Wielding a long spear, he was on a killing spree. Seeing his security guards falling one after another to Zhang Beixing’s long spear, Diablo wasn’t furious. Instead, a look of delight spread across his face! He had already figured out how to deal with Zhang Beixing.

”Livestream it, Kang! Start a livestream immediately! Record all of Zhang Beixing’s crimes for me and boost the traffic. I want the whole world to witness this!” Diablo exclaimed excitedly. ”Our lab is not to blame! Zhang Beixing is the one in the wrong! He’s a Demon and should be condemned by the entire world!”

Hearing his words, Kang nodded and did as told.

The livestream was quickly started on Twitter. With the traffic they promoted and the attention Zhang Beixing himself attracted, the number of viewers quickly surpassed fifty thousand. Such massive traffic naturally caught the attention of some Great Xia netizens who regularly browsed foreign websites.

”What the he—” Curious, they clicked on it, only to be instantly stunned.

”Zhang, Zhang Beixing?!”
