Chapter 458: Behind the Scenes Mastermind [3 updates]
Seeing the man, the lord of University Town was shocked, “Li Xini… Director?”
Indeed, such a bombing would certainly fall under IBI’s jurisdiction, so their arrival was a question of sooner or later.
This time, IBI reacted quickly; it had been merely a little over three hours since the explosion began.
But the town lord had never considered the possibility of the IBI Director being involved.
Even during attacks with far more casualties, Li Xini always commanded from IBI headquarters remotely.
Why had he personally come this time?
The lord of the town subconsciously became tense.
Aside from talents from various countries, who else was buried here?
The lord knew a few things.
The high ranks of IBI were all named after emperors from Ancient Rome.
Like Director Li Xini, and similarly, Deputy Director Dai Ya, or Airship Commander Anthony.
It wasn’t just a reflection of strength but also symbolized absolute authority.
However, few knew that within IBI, Li Xini didn’t hold the most power; above him was a Supreme Executive Commander.
This Executive Commander wasn’t part of IBI’s official staffing, yet all IBI personnel were at his disposal, including Li Xini.
Li Xini frowned as he glanced at the University Town lord, “Have all the people been rescued?”
“There are still a dozen or so.” Nearby, the rescue team captain handed over the list, lowered his head, and let out a bitter laugh, “The poison gas is too severe, we can’t get through.”
But it was different for IBI.
IBI possessed the world’s most advanced defense weapons and technology, which enabled them to maintain global peace.
Li Xini took the list and a map before saying indifferently, “Let’s go, into the site.”
The utmost principle of IBI was to prioritize the lives of all citizens on Earth.
Everything else came second.
Including their own lives and deaths.
“Yes, Commander,” the high-level detective saluted.
Before coming here, they had prepared rescue supplies and all protective measures.
Yet, before the IBI detectives could enter, the sound of an airplane’s roar echoed once more.
Li Xini narrowed his eyes and looked up, taken aback by what he saw.
It was also an airplane, but it had a strange shape, being flat.
When the airplane landed, a group of people debarked.
Their attire was school uniforms.
On the right breast of the uniform was a golden emblem.
Norton University Action Department!
Leading them was the head of the Action Department.
Blond hair, blue eyes, handsome, and very young, definitely not over twenty-five.
“I figured you would be here,” the head of the Action Department nodded slightly, “Let’s go in together.”
This startled even Li Xini, “You all…”
IBI had cooperated with the Norton University Action Department a few times to capture international criminals.
However, in those few collaborations, the Action Department would only come out if there were Norton University students involved.
He had confirmed that there were no students from Norton University among the ruins.
So, what brought the Norton University Action Department here?
The lord of University Town was puzzled, “Director Li Xini, who are they…?”
Li Xini waved his hand to stop him and instead addressed the head of the Action Department, “Then let’s go together.”
Both teams immediately went in.
The remaining high-level detectives helped the rescue team to settle the wounded, set up temporary tents, and distribute food.
The lord of the town finally let out a sigh of relief, and the tension in his nerves eased.
With IBI here, it meant there was absolutely no danger now.
The town lord waved his hand, signaling the guards to rest in turns.
He also took a piece of bread to eat, and as he turned around, he bumped into a car that was speeding towards him.
The lord was startled.
The car managed to stop just in time before hitting him.
The high-level detective looked up and saw a young man quickly getting out of the car.
“Seems like I’m late,” the young man glanced at the time and frowned, “IBI has already arrived.”
The high-level detective subconsciously looked at the insignia on the side of the car, which was recognizable by anyone in O Continent.
The Lorentz Family!
“Hello, you must be the University Town lord,” the young man extended his hand for a handshake, “I am Colin Lorentz, fully responsible for the Lorentz Family in dealing with this incident, including everyone’s safety.”
The lord was stunned, letting his hand be shaken, “Ah? Right, right, you all…”
The high-level detective wiped sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath.
All three globally recognized untouchables gathered today?!
Their presence was normal, but what was up with Norton University and the Lorentz Family?
