It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 689 [107] The Last Breakfast
Haito Ward, located between Ward 1 and Ward 12, is nestled close to the isolation wall like a honeycomb.

Physically it belongs to the East City, but spiritually it belongs to the West City.

This place is not only the settlement of "Gao Hua", but also the headquarters of the Fairy Group.

District Chief Ai Yangding was tormented by insomnia and woke up early. His elbow brushed against the clean pillow stuffed with velvet feathers.

"Sigh... Rumor has it that the Night Dragon Society and the Nean Society have reached a truce agreement. But the Night Dragon Society is clearly actively preparing for war at the Eco Tower. I'm afraid they're planning to betray the Westerners."

"The barbaric nature of the people of Dongcheng is hard to change... When will they ever learn to be civilized?"

While looking worried, Ai Yangding accidentally discovered a blood-red horse head on the pillow next to him!
"Ah...you scared me to death...it turns out to be my wife from Furui. I thought it was Qin Jiandan sending me a warning, imitating a scene from 'The Godfather'."

The district chief's wife slipped and fell in the snow, suffering a severe head injury and being admitted to the regeneration chamber for treatment. She then underwent a transformation, turning into a horse-headed Furei. Ai Yangding has been trying to adjust for a full month.

In order to make Haihu Ward a city where foreigners can travel and live comfortably, Ai Yangding got up early to prepare to work after breakfast.

In the private restaurant, Ai Yangding first cast a disdainful glance toward the East City outside the window, then used a silver fork to pick up a slice of rye bread, along with a boiled imitation egg and a cup of strong coffee brewed with "SP substitute water".

On the recorder on the left, I am reading today's "Angel Special Edition" of the Huan Shi Cheng Daily.

The appearance of giant angels in the outer city's 3rd and 9th districts has caused a great stir and sparked much discussion.

The Huan Shicheng Daily regularly features contributions from the renowned writer Liu Mengxiang.

"A strange phenomenon has occurred in the sky; a six-winged archangel has descended. This is God's warning to the East City!"

"The Night Dragon Society and its leaders, Qin Qi and his son Qin Jiandan, have driven out Westerners and disrupted harmony between East and West for many years. Now, God has revealed their sins through a miracle!"

"The Night Dragon Society advocates 'violent resistance' and its self-built ecological tower is a blasphemy against the gods! Now that angels have descended, it is punishment for their disrespect! The people of East City should be vigilant, no longer be misled by the Night Dragon Society, and return to the path of civilization as soon as possible!"

Below is a video showing residents of Haito Ward holding a "prayer meeting" next to the isolation wall, chanting "God bless Haito," and inviting Western tourists to participate.

This event was organized by the district government at Ai Yangding's behest—it's unclear what the atmosphere was like at the scene, or whether it displeased the Yangding official.

A scantily clad woman barged into the restaurant uninvited, followed by a short, stocky "brain-computer interface" nanny who was holding a small, dark-skinned child in her arms.

"Ai..." The district chief had barely opened his mouth when the woman immediately corrected him, "Call me Barbie. I've said it before, I want to use the name Barbie!"

Ai Yangding sighed. He gestured with his fork for the woman to sit across the table.

"Barbie, that 'Fairy Group' you organized is getting more and more outrageous. If it really can't be left alone, just disband it."

"What are you saying, Dad! Although I'm the leader of the Fairy Group now, the daily work is done by the deputy leader. Even if I resign, the Fairy Group will still have its own vitality!"

Barbie underwent a series of cosmetic surgeries, including tanning and lip augmentation... all of which are unsuitable for Asians, making her look very strange, but she thought it was a "high-class face".

Ai Yangding's gaze fell on the little black child in the arms of the brain-computer interface nanny. His eyes betrayed his disdain.

"Barbie, you got pregnant by that black guy and gave birth to this thing. I have to improve the black guys' treatment, give them money and subsidized housing, so that everyone has the illusion that 'black guys are better, and it's not shameful to be a black guy's 'baby.' Do you even have any men pursuing you now?!"

Barbie seemed to have been touched on a sore spot. She crossed her legs and looked away.

"We fairies don't care about men at all! The men of the East City are not good enough for the women of the East City, let alone someone as noble as me from the Haito Ward! ...Speaking of which, those beast girls are really hateful! They have no self-respect at all, and they especially like to steal our men! Damn beasts!"

The fairies basically do no work, so their chances of encountering danger or turning into beast girls are extremely low. They formed an "Anti-Beast Girl Association" and even kidnapped beast girls to give blood transfusions to their own real dogs.

Barbie picked up a cup of coffee from the table, but because she didn't like it, she took a sip and spat it out on the floor.

"Pah! It's so thick, there's not a single drop of sugar in it!"

Ai Yangding's patience was nearing its limit: "Haven't you had enough? Your mother also turned into a 'pest' last month, are you going to call your mother a 'pest' too?"

Barbie rolled her eyes, and due to the "results" of cosmetic surgery, the eye roll looked particularly ugly.

"Hmm... Dad, you're Hermes, I'm not used to Mom turning into that horse face... The Night Dragon Society is spreading rumors of an impending disaster, urging everyone to relocate to the Border City Special Zone. Not many people believed it before, but since the angels descended, some people in Haihu District actually think it's a sign of the end of the world and have started contacting the Night Dragon Society!"

Ai Yangding hesitated slightly. "Did you find this out through the Fairy Group?"

The little black child started crying, and Barbie glanced back impatiently. The brain-computer interface nanny continued to use the robotic arm as a cradle.

After finishing the last half of the black bread, Ai Yangding got up and strolled towards the French windows—the weather was gloomy, the road below was covered with snow, and there were almost no pedestrians at this time.

"Hmph, the Night Dragon Society spreads rumors simply because they covet the wealth of the Haihu people."

"Our wealth didn't come from thin air; it was earned through decades of appeasing foreigners. The Night Dragon Society talks with the Nean Society one day and violently confronts them the next... We can't keep changing our minds like this; we Haihu people still need to do business with foreigners!"

A rare, unmutated puppy approached Barbie's feet, sneezing from the pungent perfume emanating from her. Barbie bent down to play with the puppy, seemingly more patient with it than with her own children. "Daddy, while the Night Dragon Society is unreliable, it's true that the Central Tower's reduction of the Bright Sky Canopy's coverage area has caused the continuous blizzards in the outer city. Also, there are rumors that the Black Fog Calamities are becoming more frequent..."

Ai Yangding turned around and glared at his daughter, seemingly blaming her for using the unlucky word "black mist."

"Even with frequent natural disasters, Haihu District, being right next to the inner city, is far superior to the outer city's outskirts. The Eco-Tower has built its own Bright Sky Canopy; whether it works or not is another matter, but can the company just sit idly by? It'll face liquidation sooner or later..."

Barbie held the puppy on her lap, and the puppy set its sights on the half-eaten artificial egg on the table.

“I know Father doesn’t want to surrender to the Night Dragon Society. But shouldn’t we strengthen the defenses of Haihu District no matter what? Since Haihu District doesn’t pay taxes to the Night Dragon Society, the Night Dragon Society has removed the patrol guards outside Haihu District. Shouldn’t we send people to replace them?”

"Training guards and maintaining combat effectiveness costs money!"

Ai Yangding puts his hands behind his back.

"After all this, he might have spent more money than the Night Dragon Society collects in taxes! Qin Jiandan withdrew the guards just to show us, to scare us into paying taxes. The entire East City is Night Dragon Society territory. Does he really think he'd abandon the entire region's defenses just to intimidate us? I'm not paying taxes, and I'm going to take advantage of the Night Dragon Society's military protection!"

The puppy had already bitten the artificial egg, its mouth full of yolk.

"Large gangs can't bypass the Night Dragon Society's defenses... but what if it's a lone wolf-type psychopathic killer, or even a Black Mist Beast?"

Ai Yangding clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"How can you be so outspoken... Legend has it that the Black Mist can sense when it's being discussed, and the more it's mentioned, the more likely it is to come knocking. Can't you just..."

At this point, Ai Yangding's lips froze.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a dense mass of black particles was condensing and taking shape, eventually coalescing at the ends into sharp, wire-like blades.

Click!

The bulletproof glass was pierced by the wire, and Ai Yangding's heart was also pierced!
Barbie screamed, the stupid dog continued eating its eggs, and the brain-computer interface nanny remained indifferent. Black mist rapidly seeped into Aiyangding's seven orifices and the wound in his chest.

"Hehe...hehe..." Ai Yangding bled profusely, his limbs twitched, and his eyes rolled back, revealing a strange laugh.

"Black mist... Foreign sir... Long live... Hehehehehe!"

The ward chief of Haito Ward exploded from the inside out, and black mist enveloped his inside-out corpse, evolving into an invulnerable and insatiably hungry Yin Beast form.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Barbie was so frightened that she ran away. First, she threw the puppy at the demon beast, and then she deliberately tripped the brain-computer nanny, leaving her little black cub for the demon beast to enjoy.

But in the end, the demonic beast's sharp teeth and claws still caught up with her. In utter terror, she was devoured piece by piece, starting from her shoulders…

※※※

That noon, next to the long dining table in the monitoring room.

Qin Jiandan received the news that "Haihu District was attacked by a Yin Beast, and District Chief Ai Yangding and his entire family were killed."

As pregnant women, Mu Yue and Wang You had food laid out in front of them that emphasized nutritional value. They sat next to each other.

Qin Jiandan sat opposite Mu Yue, with Kazama, who had been on duty all morning, on one side, and Xia, who never had anything to do and just came over to freeload.

Mu Yue's cat ears twitched slightly, her gaze wary.

"Jian Dan, was the murder of Ai Yangding's family really the work of the Yin Beast? Why was no one else injured? Could it be that Senior Brother Ouyang Suixing used the Steel Armor Breathing Technique to kill them and frame the Yin Beast?"

The prerequisite for practicing the Steel Armor Breathing Technique is to implant a 'Black Mist Seed' into the body; therefore, the Steel Armor Breathing Technique is also called 'Shadow Beast Armor'. Both originate from the same source and are very similar in terms of invulnerability and appearance; in low light, they could be mistaken for each other.

Qin Jiandan shrugged: "Although Ai Yangding was a stumbling block for the Night Dragon Society, killing people indiscriminately is not Senior Brother's style. Senior Brother only interferes in people's affairs casually. I was with you when Ai Yangding was killed, so I didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime."

Feng Jie said, "Unless the young master hypnotized that Yin Beast beforehand, making it only kill Ai Yangding's entire family and not anyone else."

A thought suddenly flashed through Qin Jiandan's mind—

I can temporarily change other people's thoughts using 'time rewriting,' does that include hypnotizing Yin Beasts? But I don't remember hypnotizing any Yin Beasts...

My future self, through time prophecy, showed me the disaster in the outer city and the way to defeat Alexander... Could it be that he also hypnotized this evil beast across time and space, making it get rid of Aiyandin for me?
Because of the kinship between the Shadow Beast and the Steel Armor Breathing Technique, only I can use this move, while Alexander cannot.

If it's true, I must find an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Shadow Beasts; this thing is much more useful than ordinary guns and cannons...
