254: A peerless national hero!

Chapter 254: Peerless Guoshi!

Hearing Lei Tai say that.

The expressions of the Bai family's professionals were all very strange.

Those who knew Lu Ran knew that Lei Tai was telling the truth; they didn't intend to kill Lu Ran, nor could they, by participating in this Bai family operation.

They were just joining in for the money.

As for those who didn't know Lu Ran among them, they scoffed.

They thought, no matter how strong a new professional was, could they, so many people, not kill him?

It was simply a joke!

It was precisely because of the expressions of these people that Liu Xinxin and the others knew.

Even though Lu Ran's performance in the Imperial Capital this time was so exaggerated, many people still didn't understand how terrifying Lu Ran was.

"No choice, Dragon Xia just has a lot of people, and the Imperial Capital also has a lot of people. You can't expect everyone to know how amazing Lu Ran is in every detail," Yu Qingcang said, glancing at Liu Xinxin.

At this moment.

Bai Yunzong shouted, "He's just a provisional member. Can your Four Great Guilds go to such an extent? Is it worth confronting our Bai family?"

Huh?

Yu Qingcang raised an eyebrow.

He subconsciously said, "Is confronting your Bai family very difficult? What's worth or not worth it? With our four guilds here, your Bai family can't go anywhere today."

These words were even modest.

Let alone the Four Great Guilds, even just a single Tiandao Alliance, the Bai family couldn't handle it!

They were far from it!

The reason the Four Great Guilds gathered so grandly was to make things easier for Lu Ran and establish Lu Ran's foundation and status in Dragon Xia.

The Bai family was just an incidental cleanup and was not taken seriously by them.

"Then let's fight to the death! I want to see if you can protect Lu Ran!" Bai Yunzong roared, his face contorted.

Liu Xinxin and the others were all dumbfounded.

This Bai Yunzong must have gone completely mad from the shock of his son's death.

Still want to fight?

What will your Bai family fight with?

"I already told you just now, Lu Ran doesn't need our protection. Are you deaf or something?" Lei Tai shouted, exasperated.

And Liu Xinxin.

Was even more direct.

She glanced at the Bai family's professionals.

And said lightly, "You are professionals affiliated with the Bai family. This time you were used as pawns, and you accomplished nothing. You are innocent and can leave at any time. We are giving you a chance."

Oh, this...

If they left now, wouldn't the five million promised by Bai Yunzong be gone?

Leaving so easily, they wouldn't get anything.

"You only get one chance. If you don't leave and insist on fighting, we will use force to suppress you, regardless of casualties," Liu Xinxin repeated.

Upon hearing this.

The Bai family's professionals instantly became restless.

They could be greedy, they could want money, but they also wanted to live even more!

The Four Great Guilds were right in front of them. If a fight really broke out, how could they fight? Wouldn't that be certain death?

Bai Yunzong saw that the atmosphere was a bit off.

He hurriedly shouted, "Don't listen to their nonsense! We might not necessarily lose! Besides, Lu Ran is just a provisional member. Even if we wanted to kill him, we are innocent before killing him. Their Four Great Guilds are not so lawless as to casually kill you. At most, they'll just control you and restrict your movements."

It must be said that Bai Yunzong's words still had some effect.

This was the Imperial Capital.

It was not a place where the Four Great Guilds could act lawlessly.

And if Bai Yunzong was right, they wouldn't die if they fought, so what was there to fear?

They could still get five million!

This also made the professionals who had originally planned to leave waver again.

But at this moment.

Someone walked over from the other end of the street.

Leading them was a short-haired woman, dressed very appropriately and competently, with several people following behind her.

"We are from the Supervisory Group. I am the team leader, and this is my identification. We are here to notify Bai Yunzong of the Bai family that your Bai family's assets have been frozen due to commercial crimes. You are not allowed to use or transfer any assets until a thorough investigation is completed," the short-haired woman stated directly.

She hadn't considered how perfect her timing was.

These words were like a heavy bomb, instantly igniting the entire scene.

Bai Yunzong's face instantly darkened to the extreme.

What perfect timing!

Although Bai Yunzong had anticipated this, he hadn't expected it so soon!

The state's intervention, standing behind Lu Ran, was terrifyingly efficient!

This was vastly different from the efficiency Bai Yunzong usually encountered when dealing with the state!

From this, one could also see how high Lu Ran's status was within the state.

And the Bai family's professionals were instantly dumbfounded.

Huh?

The Bai family's assets were frozen?

Then what's the point of playing?

Risking a beating, even if they wouldn't die, they wouldn't get any money!

So...

"Mr. Bai, I'm sorry, my wife is giving birth, I have to go."

"Next time for sure!"

"My house is boiling water, oh, I forgot."

"Next time, next time, I'm leaving first."

"I'm not leaving because there's no money, I really have a stomachache, look, I'm already losing blood, probably poisoned."

...

Suddenly, half of the people dispersed directly.

A portion remained, still hesitating, not because of money or no money, because there was no money to be had, they also wanted to leave.

But Bai Yunzong's gaze swept over them, and some of these people had been treated well by the Bai family before, so they felt too embarrassed to leave.

Since they couldn't get money, they might as well fight. A beating wouldn't kill them anyway, so it could save face.

But then.

Another team of people suddenly walked over.

These people were very familiar, and the emblem on their chests was very clear.

People from the Professional Alliance!

And those who came were all high-ranking members of the Professional Alliance.

"Bai Yunzong, you are suspected of murdering a Guoshi. The Professional Alliance has received notification from above and is here to apprehend you first," the leading man said in a deep voice.

What?

Bai Yunzong was stunned.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How many Guoshi does Dragon Xia have now? When did I try to murder a Guoshi?" Bai Yunzong retorted, unconvinced.

"This is a certificate of honor, newly issued by the higher-ups but not yet announced. Lu Ran has been listed as a member of the Dragon Xia Hall of Fame for his meritorious service in defending the city, and simultaneously bestowed the honor of Guoshi," the man said.

He even produced Lu Ran's certificate of honor.

From a distance, it was unclear, but Yu Qingcang, standing nearby, saw it clearly.

Four large characters on it: Peerless Guoshi!

This made Yu Qingcang and the others gasp, something they hadn't expected!

The state's affirmation of Lu Ran had reached such a level!

Guoshi!

But thinking about it, it was understandable: one person solving a Level 6 difficulty monster siege and saving the entire Imperial Capital!

This strength and honor were unprecedented!

Unrivaled!

Combined with his previous suppression of Eagle Nation in the Deathmatch Arena and Nanasheng of Sakura in the Endless Tower.

Such a talent, the title of Guoshi was well-deserved!

Bai Yunzong was dumbfounded, he hadn't expected this either!

The man glanced at the remaining Bai family professionals who hadn't left and continued, "Bai Yunzong's plot to murder a Guoshi is an unforgivable crime. Those who participate and disregard warnings will be punished with the same crime and executed on the spot!"
