Chapter 229 Be the Fool Who Challenges the Windmill
The atmosphere on the coast was a little weird at this time.

The main thing is that what happened tonight really left the two middle-aged men a little confused.

You said that even if a card maker from another country accidentally entered this sea area and fought with those monsters, it would look more normal than the fight between the Qi Ling Society and the monsters.

The main reason is that they really can't understand why Qi Ling would take action.

But since this bizarre thing has already happened, there is no time to think about it so much.

"Speaking of which," Lu Yan suppressed his doubts and said solemnly, "President Luo, Director Zeng."

"Do you think the news that person just said is credible?"

Russell didn't say anything, just passed the ball to Zeng Bo.

Zeng Bo certainly knew that what Lu Xi said was true, but he couldn't directly say that he could confirm the other party's words because he was a member of the Qiling Society.

Fortunately, he still found an excuse: "It's probably true."

"After all, the reaction of the group of demons was indeed a bit strange. They could have ignored Prime Minister Turtle's blockade and launched an attack."

"And even if the Qi Ling Society wants to throw smoke bombs at us, there's no need to fight them with real weapons."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan nodded repeatedly. He thought so too.

Seeing this, Russell immediately said in a deep voice: "Then I'll trouble you two first. I will go back to the headquarters to explain the situation here to President Sima."

In fact, logically speaking, if Sima Huai had asked for support from his superiors, people should have arrived by now.

The two middle-aged men nodded and watched Russell disappear on the coast.

“Hope everything goes well.”

Listening to the murmurs of the director of the Public Security Office beside him, Zeng Bo's eyes couldn't help but flash.

He still hasn't figured out why that adult did this, and why he didn't inform him in advance.

At headquarters, Russell emerged from the shadows into the president's office.

Sima Huai was startled at first, then he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Why is President Luo back?"

"Could it be that the demons on the coast have been dealt with?"

Russell shook his head and said without further ado: "The people from the Spirit Begging Society fought with that group of demons, and also revealed the information about the existence of Emerald Level demons."

"Qingling Society?" Sima Huai was shocked when he heard this. He seemed unable to connect the person Russell was talking about with the things he described.

But he immediately caught the key words in the words of the young man in front of him: "Emerald Level?!"

The president of the Card Master Association, who had not found this person since Russell came to Donglai, couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Has he made a move?"

Sima Huai was a little panicked at the moment. If an Emerald Grade really appeared, Donglai would definitely suffer great damage.

Even if all the gold-level card makers in the city joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the other side.

Even if we succeed in defeating the other party, it is still a question of how many people will be alive in the end.

Thinking that his peaceful life was about to be disrupted, his face couldn't help but darken.

"Have emergency evacuation arrangements been made?"

Russell shook his head. Now they only confirmed the existence of the Emerald Level Demon, but they did not detect the other party's breath when they checked the situation before, let alone the other party attacking Donglai: "It's just that Qi Linghui said there is an Emerald Level existence, and Director Lu and I didn't sense the corresponding breath."

Hearing this, Sima Huai was stunned at first, then asked with a puzzled look: "Haven't you ever thought that it might be Qi Linghui who is talking nonsense?"

Hearing the doubt in his tone, Russell immediately told him what had happened on the coast not long ago and repeated Zeng Bo's inference.

At this time Sima Huai sat back down again: "I understand, I will report to the higher-ups later."

"President Luo, if you have nothing else to do, you can go back."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Russell couldn't help but frown, and his expression immediately turned cold: "President Sima should report it now."

To be honest, Russell has been unhappy with Sima Huai for a long time. Since coming to Donglai, he has been the one to deal with most of the messes.

People who don’t know would think that he is the president and Sima Huai is the vice president.

It's not that Sima Huai has to do everything himself, but at least he should share half of the work with the vice president, right?
What now?
He was the one who handled the previous secret realm and the Guiyi Sect.

Sima Huai always used the excuse that he had to stay at the headquarters to evade the question.

This time it was even more excessive. Russell didn't even ask him to garrison on the coast together. After all, the city did need to be on guard against the Guiyi Sect.

However, when it comes to reporting such matters to the higher-level association, Sima Huai seems to be willing to delay as much as possible.

Do you really think that Russell is a soft persimmon?

At worst, he could just get Moyu and Zeng Bo to kill Sima Huai together.

It is not very realistic to drag them into the water. A card maker of Sima Huai's level is unlikely to give up his bright future and get involved with the Qiling Society.

Moreover, the noise of a fight between gold-level card makers could not be hidden, and Russell did not even consider the option of dragging Sima Huai into the fight.

In fact, this was also because Russell was angry.

If Sima Huai, the president, was attacked by the Qi Ling Society, how could Russell, the vice president, not show up?

But he does have a solution to this problem, which is to let Misaka Mikoto and Aizen have a fake match, and Spider-Girl and Furillian will cooperate with Squidward and the others to take action.

In this way, the probability of taking down Sima Huai should be quite high.

However, if Russell just sits on the sidelines and does nothing, then Sima Huai will be even less likely to join the Qi Ling Society. After all, as the president of the Qi Ling Society, shouldn't Russell, the vice president, also join?

This goes against his original intention of hiding his identity as a member of the Qiling Society.

The more Russell thought about it, the more he felt that the plan was feasible.

"We still need to plan it carefully." Knowing that one cannot rush into such things, he calmed down temporarily.

but
As soon as the thought of killing arises, I suddenly feel the world is wide.

It seemed that because of this reason, Russell felt that his thoughts were much clearer at this moment.

Moreover, he did not just want to kill Sima Huai because of his inaction.

Russell still remembered what happened to that old woman Xie Ziying.

Not knowing what Russell was thinking, Sima Huai saw that he had no intention of leaving, and his eyes became gloomy: "President Luo, are you teaching me how to do things?"

Upon hearing this, Russell just replied coldly: "I just think the situation is urgent, President Sima should report it as soon as possible."

"Or"

"President Sima wants me to contact the teacher?"

Russell was just using his power to gain an advantage by saying this, as he couldn't contact Bai Yueming at all right now.

But he was sure that the middle-aged man in front of him would not dare to gamble.

Sima Huai did seem to shrink a little after hearing Bai Yueming's name, but he still managed to say, "Overstepping the level of the leader is a big taboo, President Luo, please don't make the mistake."

Luo Su seemed to be amused by Sima Huai's words, and then he said seriously: "I am just reporting the recent situation to the teacher as a disciple, so President Sima does not need to worry about me."

As Russell finished speaking, the president's office fell into silence.

Finally, Sima Huai lowered his head. He said with a fake smile, "I will report it right away. I won't bother President Luo to alert Master Bai."

After he finished speaking, he started typing away on the computer.

The details of what happened on the coast of Donglai had already been sorted out when Lu Yan came to report last time, but he just hadn't reported it yet.

Now all we need to do is add some words like "suspected jade grade" to the document.

"Suspected to be Emerald Grade." Sima Huai really didn't dare to go against Russell's threat to inform Bai Yueming and not report it, but he could do something.

Although it was just a small trick, the result was completely different.

And he really didn't write it randomly. After all, hasn't the emerald-level demon appeared yet?

Besides, since it was information informed by the Qi Ling Society, if he wrote "suspected", Bai Yueming wouldn't be able to find fault with him even if he came.

It must be said that the documents submitted by the president of the City Card Masters Association were indeed responded to very quickly.

The Qiluka Division Association, to which the Donglaika Division Association belongs, responded almost immediately.

"President Luo, do you want to see what it says?" Sima Huai said to Russell with a smile after checking the reply file.

Seeing Sima Huai's expression, Russell felt something was wrong and turned the computer screen towards himself with a sullen face.

The message in the document was very simple. The Qiluka Master Association was currently short of staff and could do nothing to help with Donglai's situation.

This is not that they are shirking responsibility. The reasons given in the document are so unreasonable that Russell cannot find any fault with them. That is, in other cities of Qi and Lu, especially some cities near the north, the activities of Guiyi Sect are becoming more and more rampant, and personnel have been sent to assist the local Card Master Association in suppressing Guiyi Sect.

In addition, the secret realms appear more and more frequently, and they really have no time to spare.

However, in order to help Donglai relieve some of the pressure, the Qilu Card Makers Association stated at the end of the document that it would send several gold-level card makers to assist.

But that's about it.

after all
The so-called Emerald Level Demon is only suspected to appear, isn’t it?
Russell certainly also saw Sima Huai's report document. How could the young man not see the word game he played in it?

"Good, very good." Russell turned the computer screen back expressionlessly. "President Sima is indeed a pillar of the country. I am impressed by him."

The desire to kill is rising.

At this moment, he inexplicably remembered a line from a game he had traveled through time and space in.

"."

Looking at Sima Huai, who looked confused and seemed to have no idea what he was talking about, Russell glanced at him coldly, then turned and left the president's office.

There is nothing more to say at this point. Once things on the coast are over, he will take action to kill this guy.

Sima Huai's face became gloomy as he watched the young vice president disappear into the room.

What was happening now was somewhat beyond his control.

No, it would be better to say that since Xie Ziying's death, the situation has been like a wild horse that has run away from its reins and cannot be stopped.

After all, he didn't expect that Russell, who looked young, could be so cruel and ruthless. The old woman killed people without hesitation.

Taking out his cell phone, Sima Huai stared at the screen with a frown.

The screen shows his chat history with someone.

"They said they would continue to send people to provide support."

"What about people?"

Back at the coast, Russell told Lu Yan and the others with a cold face what had happened in the president's office.

After listening to his story, a trace of disgust flashed across Lu Yan's eyes.

At this critical moment, President Sima was still dragging his feet and playing so-called power games.

He was really blind to choose to cooperate with the other party before.

Glancing at the young man beside him, Lu Yan thought to himself, "It would be great if the president was Russell."

At least the young man's performance after coming to Donglai was much more responsible than Sima Huai.

Zeng Bo still had a blank face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"We can't delay any longer. Once the gold-level card makers sent by the higher-ups arrive, we will take the initiative to attack and try to clear out the group of demons in the distance first."

Russell made the decision without much thought.

Since we can't wait for strong support, we might as well clip the wings of some demons first.

Even if there really is an Emerald-level demon, it would be better to face a lone Emerald-level existence than one surrounded by a large group of subordinates.

"At worst, I can let Cuttlefish put on my skin and let Spider-Man and Flillian attack together."

Russell was prepared for the worst.

He felt that after he had played all his cards, and with so many gold-level card makers affiliated with the association, even the emerald-level monster would be able to fight.

Although so far he has never seen what an emerald-level being looks like in action.

I have seen diamond level and master level.

Zeng Bo and Lu Yan on the side naturally understood the interests involved.

The three of them just stared at the steel fleet in the distance in silence.

Two days passed in a flash, and at this time Russell and the other two were welcoming two gold-level card makers sent by the Qilu Card Makers Association headquarters.

That's right, two.

According to the two card makers, this is the maximum support that can be provided.

The situation in some cities further north is even much worse than in Donglai.

The two card makers are named Wan Lin and Bian Lan, a man and a woman.

"Speaking of which," Wan Lin asked hesitantly after listening to Russell's description of Donglai's current situation, "Where is your president?"

"Isn't the president here?" Lu Yan subconsciously pointed to Russell beside him, but then he realized who Wan Lin was talking about, "President Sima needs to stay at the headquarters to prevent the Guiyi Sect from causing trouble."

After he finished speaking, he curled his lips and said no more.

Wan Lin and Bian Lan were stunned at first, and then looked at each other with unspeakable meaning in their eyes.

Even though something feels wrong, it seems that President Sima's reasons make sense?
Russell shook his head slightly and took the initiative to skip the topic: "The situation is urgent, the coast is left to you two."

"The three of us will go and test it out now."

"If the situation is not right, I hope you two can help me."

Wan Lin and the other two who were ordered to come to support naturally knew Russell's identity, and also knew that he had not been in the gold level for a long time, so they immediately asked tentatively: "How about..."

"President Luo will be here to meet us. Will the two of us and the two directors go and carry out the attack?"

Although the two spoke very cautiously, Russell understood what they were thinking.

Zeng Bo and Lu Yan have been with Russell for so long that they are well aware of his strength.

But Wan Lin and Bian Lan didn’t know.

Now, less than two months have passed since the national competition. In their eyes, Russell's ability to produce two gold-level cards is already a talent, and this is without considering the quality.

After all, not everyone can be a plagiarist like Russell.

It takes a long time to conceive a card, from the world background to the character settings.

"No, thank you very much for your kindness." Russell simply rejected their kindness.

Hearing this, Wan Lin and the others no longer insisted.

The arm cannot twist the thigh, so at worst we can just take the initiative to attack and support them if the situation is not right.

"Okay, be careful, all three."
