Chapter 212: Wu Yue Bravely Breaks into the Secretariat

Chapter 212 Wu Yue Storms the Secretariat

It took Fu Yixue several rings before answering the video call, her expression visibly flustered, with a hint of guilt as she looked at Wu Yue.

"What's going on, Yue Yue? Why the video call?"

Wu Yue noticed the bloodstains seeping through Fu Yixue's white shirt. "How is Uncle Zhou now?"

Fu Yixue waved her hand. "Don’t worry, Yue Yue. Just stay in Blaze. Several of your Uncle Zhou’s trusted aides are there now. Rest assured, no matter what happens, they’ll protect you."

Wu Yue repeated, "How is Uncle Zhou now?"

Fu Yixue’s face stiffened. "He’s injured. There was an unexpected complication in the plan—his wounds are worse than we anticipated. He’s undergoing emergency treatment now."

Wu Yue asked, "Can he be saved?"

Fu Yixue replied, "The DX001 contagion spreads much faster among ordinary people than we expected. If Squire were here, it might be possible. But the Royal Court is breathing down our necks, demanding that the Secretariat hand Squire over immediately."

To make matters worse, Squire wasn’t even at the Secretariat at the moment.

Lu Li was fighting a desperate holding action, but the Royal Court had sent Hall, the only son of Grand Duke Vlad.

Hall, who had just lost his sister, was looking for any pretext to attack the Secretariat.

Fu Yixue gritted her teeth. This gamble had backfired—they had acted too hastily.

She looked at Wu Yue. "Wu Yue, you absolutely cannot return to World City right now. No amount of political maneuvering will change anything, even if you come back. Just stay in Blaze. While the Taoist Sect and Blaze still stand, no one will be able to—"

Wu Yue gave a bitter laugh. "Aunt Fu, if the Secretariat falls now, the first to be picked apart will be the Taoist Sect. When the nest is overturned, no egg survives intact."

Fu Yixue went pale. She knew this better than anyone.

But just because she and Zhou Qianfeng had no way out didn’t mean Wu Yue didn’t. Wu Yue still had more powerful allies!

"Yue Yue, go find—"

She suddenly looked up, only to realize Wu Yue had already ended the call.

Ignoring the repeated incoming call notifications, Wu Yue switched the airship to manual mode and pushed the thrusters to maximum, blazing across the sky.

Arriving at the outskirts of World City in record time, Wu Yue was stunned to see that in just half a day, the city’s guards had been replaced—no longer the White Guard, but disciples from the Chen family, one of the noble houses.

The Alliance Parliament members were swiftly carving up control of the Alliance’s security forces!

After landing the airship, Wu Yue changed into casual clothes and she headed into the city.

"Please present your communicator."

Wu Yue held out her comm.

"Blaze’s Wu Yue, clearance confirmed. Proceed."

"Wait."

Blocked by the figure before her, Wu Yue's expression darkened instantly upon hearing Chen Yuanlang's voice.

Damn it, she thought—just my luck to bump into this trash.

"Chiyan Wuyue? Why does that name sound so familiar? Turn around—let me get a look at you!"

Wu Yue slowly turned around, and Chen Yuanlang's eyes widened in admiration the moment he saw her.

Having undergone physical purification, Wu Yue's psychic energy had recovered to Class A. Her appearance and skin were now completely different from when Chen Yuanlang had last seen her.

Wu Yue blinked in confusion, "What do you want?"

Chen Yuanlang's sleazy gaze crawled disgustingly over her body.

He deliberately blocked Wu Yue's path, preventing her from entering the city.

"Want to go in? Entertain me first."

"Meow!"

Wu Yue looked down and saw it was the same kitten she had encountered once before at the airport.

But unlike its previous well-groomed appearance, this time the kitten looked like a scraggly, pissed-off mess.

Wu Yue scooped up the kitten, "Why are you here alone again? Did other strays bully you?"

"Meow!"

Shen Que had arrived at the airport earlier and immediately noticed World City had gone to hell.

Unable to enter through the main gate, he had just transformed and was about to sneak in along the wall when he spotted Wu Yue being stopped by Chen Yuanlang.

Seeing Wu Yue completely ignore him, Chen Yuanlang's face darkened abruptly.

"Don't make me force you. Blaze might be powerful, but half of World City's guards now belong to the Chen family! No matter how strong Blaze is, they wouldn't dare attack World City!"

Held in Wu Yue's arms, Shen Que locked his icy green gaze on Chen Yuanlang. Feeling the overwhelming psychic pressure, Chen Yuanlang froze, unable to move a muscle.

Shen Que kept pushing something into Wu Yue's palm. Raising it, she found an Imperial Court pass.

Wu Yue was surprised—so this little guy was from the Imperial Court?

Placing the Imperial Court pass on World City's scanner, Wu Yue turned to Chen Yuanlang, "How about now? The Chen family is so mighty, surely they wouldn’t dare cross the Imperial Court either?"

Pinned by Shen Que's psychic pressure, Chen Yuanlang couldn’t even squeak, let alone argue.

Wu Yue shot him an icy look and marched right into World City.

Only after completely leaving Shen Que's psychic control range did Chen Yuanlang collapse like his brains had been scrambled, limp on the ground.

"Young master! Are you okay?!"

"Master Chen, should we go after that woman?"

Chen Yuanlang's legs trembled uncontrollably, his pants soaked with urine.

"After her?! None of you bastards made a move back there!"

"That cat from the Imperial Court had spiritual energy stronger than mine! The Imperial Court—do you know what that means?!"

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare."

"Then get the hell back!"

...

Once inside the city, Wu Yue hurried through the streets with the cat in her arms.

She patted the cat's little head, "We may be on opposing sides, but what fault could a little kitten have? Especially one as cute as you who helped me get into the city.

Once I'm done, I'll send you back to the Imperial Court right away."

Shen Que narrowed his eyes, "Meow!"

The two arrived at the periphery of the Secretariat and found that the situation had indeed changed—the Secretariat was surrounded by forces from all sides.

Inside, various guard teams were engaged in direct confrontation, and even the usually elusive The Five Great Immortals—Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu, and Hui—were all present, taking command.

Through Lu Li, Wu Yue entered the Secretariat's vicinity via a hidden passage two streets away.

As soon as she emerged, Shen Que immediately dashed off with a "Meow!"

Wu Yue reached out, "Hey!! Get back here!!"

Lu Li knew the cat was Shen Que in disguise and that his presence was urgently needed to stabilize the Imperial Court's forces.

Lu Li quickly changed the subject, "Miss Wu Yue, let's head to the Secretary-General first."

Wu Yue nodded, "Right!"

Lu Li continued, "Right now, only Master Fu is by the Secretary-General's side. The Secretariat's DX001 operation was completed against all odds, infringing on many factions' interests.

None of them want the Secretariat to take sole credit. The later stages of the first phase have faced increasing difficulties and resistance, with pushback from every direction.

The Secretary-General thought of using an assassination attempt as a strategic feint, but unexpectedly, the Imperial Court, the Chen family, the Huo family, and the Shadow Strike Team saw their chance, sending assassins outnumbering us ten to one.

If not for Master Fu putting her life on the line to wipe them all out, the Secretary-General would be dead by now.

He's waiting inside. Miss Wu Yue, please."

The door to the emergency room opened, revealing Fu Yixue standing beside Zhou Qianfeng.

Though he'd changed into fresh clothes, his white robe was already stained with blood again. Zhou Qianfeng's condition was far graver than the communicator had shown—

So much worse. Unimaginably worse.
