Achieving Demon Godhood from Unlocking Talents

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The shockwaves hummed, kicking up dust and debris from the concrete rooftop.

Bamboo poles and clothes hanging out to dry around the buildings swayed violently, buffeted by the flying car’s wake.

Yet, amidst all this commotion, the atmosphere in the central alleyway below was dead silent.

Every member of the Fifth Squad gripped their weapons tightly. Even when facing a Superpower Level expert from a Patriarch family, they showed not a hint of fear or hesitation.

Lu Chao, standing at their forefront, wore an even colder expression, his toughness far exceeding what was expected of someone at the Elite Level.

The Tan family was certainly a behemoth, deeply entrenched in the Red Maple City Circle.

But the Superpower Bureau was the law enforcement arm of the entire Alliance Country.

Otherwise, Yao Jin wouldn’t have given him that prior reminder, indicating she would cover for him.

Besides, he had never feared ordinary first-level Superpower experts, to say nothing of the fact that once this mission was complete, he could start preparing for his own breakthrough to the Superpower Level.

The resources to perfect his potential, the reward of reaching 99 points of Life Energy...

’Anyone who dares to stop me is obstructing my path!’

"Very well!"

Tan Yue spoke coldly, his eyes locked on Lu Chao’s as if weighing the pros and cons of making a move.

In the end...

SWOOSH!!

Another flying car flew out from within the city circle, heading straight for the buffer zone.

The Superpower Bureau’s ringed, six-pointed star emblem came into view.

Seeing this, Tan Yue gave Lu Chao a long, deep look before turning to leave.

In an instant, his figure vanished without a trace.

At the same time, the new flying car finally arrived. Its cabin door opened in mid-air, revealing the figure of a woman with a ponytail.

"Group Leader?"

...

「A few minutes later.」

In the streets of the buffer zone, six or seven wounded members of the Fifth Squad were helped into the flying car.

Professional medics from the field team moved back and forth, constantly checking their injuries, disinfecting, and bandaging the wounds.

Because they were wearing bulletproof vests and Lu Chao’s support had been timely, the overall casualties weren’t too severe. At worst, they had been shot in their limbs—nothing fatal.

Amidst the bustling activity, the bodies of the Iron Sand Army were carried away one by one. Nearby gang members who had been loitering to watch the show were also dealt with. Most were forced to crouch on the ground with their hands on their heads for a second round of interrogation to determine if any hidden members of the [Iron Sand] were still in the area.

Watching the scene unfold, Yao Jin’s gaze swept over the wounded members, her expression complex.

Finally, her eyes landed on Lu Chao, who was waiting on standby, his black combat suit splattered with several streaks of blood.

"You’ve worked hard,"

she said earnestly, her face full of admiration.

Beside her, Sun Jiayuan and the other squad members who had followed her orders also looked shocked. They couldn’t help but size up Lu Chao once more.

’Is he really from a minor city circle?’

’He even killed Ma Kui. That puts him on par with the top captains from East Port and the Yao Capital City Circle.’

"It’s all thanks to the Group Leader’s full support!"

"The Fifth Squad and I were just doing our duty."

Lu Chao replied forcefully, not taking credit for the success.

He knew very well that if Yao Jin hadn’t approved the use of the flying car, Ma Kui might have escaped.

Besides, a trace of doubt flashed through his mind. ’She came to the scene herself?’

’Then why didn’t she come directly? Why do something so unnecessary?’

As if sensing his confusion, Yao Jin waved her hand, signaling for Sun Jiayuan and the others to disperse and help manage the aftermath at the scene.

A brief silence fell. Soon, in the narrow alley, they were the only two people for several meters around.

"I originally thought it might just be one of Red Maple’s other local factions."

"But I never expected a Patriarch family to be involved."

Her tone was one of resignation as she seemed to let out a soft sigh.

All the clues became clear the moment Gao Hu reported the situation. That’s why she had rushed over, just in case.

Fortunately, she had made it in time.

"What are your thoughts, Group Leader?"

Lu Chao asked, wanting to know her stance, as well as the Superpower Bureau’s.

"You’re a member of our Fourth Group."

Yao Jin’s voice was soft, but her words, devoid of any filler, landed with force.

The usual peacefulness on her fair-skinned face was gone, replaced by a trace of decisiveness and grim resolve.

Lu Chao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It seemed the situation was better than he had imagined. Even when facing a Patriarch family, his Group Leader wasn’t backing down in the slightest.

"Besides, there was something you said earlier that I strongly agree with."

"This is Red Maple City, true, but it is also within the borders of the Alliance Country. Not everyone in the Bureau is an indifferent bystander..."

She once again reassured Lu Chao, tactfully revealing some information.

Pensive, Lu Chao understood the situation within the Superpower Bureau.

Some might not want to strain relations with the local factions in Red Maple City, but similarly, there were others who shared his perspective.

In other words, he wasn’t alone.

During the subsequent small talk, Lu Chao mentioned the recruitment offer Tan Yue had made earlier.

Yao Jin frowned at his words and then shook her head gently.

"Recruitment... I don’t know if that’s true or not."

"However, the City Lord’s Mansion’s City Guard Army has indeed clashed with the [Iron Sand] many times. They’ve fought relentlessly in the wilds. So, in theory, the possibility of turning and recruiting them does exist."

’Is that so?’

Lu Chao pondered this, and many speculations surfaced in his mind.

Seeing this, Yao Jin hesitated for a moment before reminding him softly, "The situation between the City Lord’s Mansion and the four great Patriarch families is very complicated."

"Although they’ve already joined the Alliance Country, we are, after all, outsiders who came later."

Nodding, Lu Chao thought about some recent rumors regarding the surging undercurrents between the City Lord’s Mansion and the four great Patriarch families.

He didn’t press the matter further, because he knew there were some things it wasn’t his place to get involved in.

In the end, the group of figures wasted no more time.
