Soul Trigger

Chapter 249 Induction
The figure that suddenly appeared on the platform interrupted the regretful voices of the crowd below.

He was a man in a pure black suit, with a masquerade-style mask on his face and a bright red tie on his chest. He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

"Good evening, everyone."

His voice spread throughout the core banquet hall, and some of the whispers stopped, turning into eager looks at the man on the stage.

The moment this person appeared, Li Bingxiao, who was sitting next to the coffee table in the VIP room of the military advisor, tremblingly picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, feeling anxious.

"It's an agent."

The low voice of Chief Prosecutor Jiang Zhenhe came from beside Ji Li, and he nodded slightly, looking at this so-called "agent".

In the core banquet hall session, Li Bingxiao will not appear directly, but his agent will speak on his behalf.

The highlight of the entire core banquet was also in the speech of this "agent":
After explaining the entire "Descendant Walker Plan" in detail and showing all the future cooperation to everyone who can enter the core banquet hall, it was time for Li Bingxiao to appear.

At least that was how the process was arranged in the plan, so the appearance of the spokesperson gradually focused the attention of countless people present.

The "agent" scanned the entire room, and when he didn't find the figure he imagined, his mouth suddenly widened to the extreme:
"Welcome to the grand rally initiated by Councillor Li Bingxiao tonight. I am Councillor Li Bingxiao's agent, and my last name is 'Xiang'."

"As a nobody, my first and last name are not important. On behalf of Councillor Li, I welcome everyone to come and see the 'Descendant Walker Plan' drawn up by the Councillor himself."

"I also thank Miss Qin for coming forward and Shan Street for its support, which has allowed everyone to gather here and participate in this grand event together..."

Following the opening remarks of the "agent," groups of people in formal attire among the large number of awakened guests below entered the crowd with normal expressions and began to move towards the platform.

Wang Guocheng leaned slightly towards Ji Li's split personality:
"The crowd's attention is currently being drawn to the 'agent'. I have already ordered them to take action and start preparing for a backup. What are your plans?"

"Wait for the most appropriate time." Ji Li's lips moved slightly.

"What if there's no opportunity?"

"No..." Ji Li's eyes flickered: "Only false opportunities do not require waiting, because they are random and uncontrollable."

"The opportunity that needs to be waited for is the real opportunity. Because the person who is waiting knows that the opportunity is created by others..."

In the VIP room above, the military advisor who was looking down at the crowd below had a half-smile on his face:
"The plainclothes officers from the Special Management Bureau have started to move... The police always use this trick to blend into the crowd..."

"Do you want to find them out?" asked the masked man in the flowery suit.

"No, we need to confirm Han Xiaofu's situation first. As the strongest person in the Five Type Overlord and the Special Management Bureau, we must eliminate this risk first."

Li Bingxiao was bored and drank a bottle of champagne one sip after another. For some reason, he felt an urge in his heart.

Thinking about the failed experience of asking for help before, and what will happen after this rally, Li Bingxiao felt even more upset, and even directly picked up the champagne and poured it all into his mouth.

Snapped.

With a slight sound, the champagne in his hand was taken away. Li Bingxiao looked up suddenly and saw that it was the ninja from the Black Sun Mansion. He immediately said in a muffled voice:
"what are you doing?"

At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the situation below the window. Even the SIA agent who had been guarding Li Bingxiao most of the time was looking out the window.

And Yuga Tetsuya's lips moved slightly:
"You drank so much, but you're not drunk?"

Li Bingxiao was about to take back the bottle, but found that the liquid in the bottle had been completely emptied at some point.

And just as the other party said, he did not feel drunk at all. With the alcohol content of champagne, he should have been drunk after drinking such a large bottle...

She suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to say something as she stared at him, but Yuga Tetsuya whispered:

"If you weren't drunk, wouldn't you feel suffocated?"

Following the toilet that Yuya Zhe turned his head towards, Li Bingxiao was suddenly shocked and looked at him with some doubt.

Then he suddenly stood up, attracting the attention of everyone in the room:
"…What? I just want to go to the bathroom!"

The military advisor glanced at the empty wine glass on the coffee table and the wine bottle in Yuya Zheye's hand. The latter was shrugged to show him the empty wine bottle, and smiled faintly:
"It seems that you are under a lot of pressure and need to drink to relieve your worries..."

Yuya Zhe also yawned and put the wine bottle down. An invisible sword quickly disappeared from the bottom of the wine bottle without anyone noticing:
"After all, they are ordinary people. Even if they are members of parliament, it is normal for them to feel stressed after staying among us for a long time... Is the champagne delicious?"

“Not… not bad.” Li Bingxiao said with evasive eyes.

The military advisor smiled immediately, seeming to be very satisfied with his frightened attitude:

"Don't be nervous. If you feel like you can't hold it in, just go for it."

"But don't do those little tricks again... You can't do anything in the bathroom, you have to understand that."

"I...I said I just want to go to the bathroom!" Li Bingxiao glanced at Yuya Zheye's face and said with difficulty.

A few seconds later, he went into the VIP room's toilet at the urging of the SIA operator with a hesitant look on his face.

The military advisor turned his head and looked at the situation below again.

The agent was following the established process, talking non-stop:

"…'Descendant Walker Project' aims to gather the light and dark forces of Aurora City, the awakened and ordinary people, the political and business circles, the streets and the chaebols, to jointly push this city towards the process of publicizing soul psychology…"

“Everyone who participates in this will be able to work with Councillor Li Bingxiao to take charge of the future of Aurora City.”

At the same time, his eyes kept scanning the crowd, still looking for something.

Yan Xiyu, who was among the guests with Jin Misha, was now scanning the crowd around him with an increasingly solemn expression.

Gaoxing Group, Yinchi Group, Hunter's Guild, West City Mutual Aid Association...the total number of top overlords here has reached as many as ten.

Adding to that the other second-rate associations and organizations around, the known peak masters, and some potential peak masters who entered this place alone, the number is definitely more than twenty.

Here she couldn't use soul trigger to directly sense the existence of these peak masters, she used the information in her mind.

Even the president of the Hunter's Guild and Old Man Jiang from the Gaoxing Group, the two more outstanding ones, especially the latter, have seen their strength weakened due to the loss of one of their arms.

But the Special Management Bureau, even with the addition of Ji Li's allies, would gain absolutely nothing if a fight broke out... No, to say they would gain nothing would be an understatement.

If a direct conflict breaks out with Li Bingxiao's side, these idiots will definitely attack in droves and suppress the Special Management Bureau first...

I can only hope that Ji Li's plan will succeed. However, Misha, who was very generous, yawned loudly:

"What is this bastard on the stage pretending to be? It's all nonsense..."

And a male voice suddenly came from her ears:

"Not really."

The bunny girl's face suddenly lit up and she let out a low cry, causing Yan Xiyu to turn his gaze instantly:

"Lao Ji?"

She turned her head to glance at the position of "Han Xiaofu" and saw Ji Li's split personality acting as usual.

"Don't look at it, it's my real self talking to you."

"Where are you? Why don't you use the public channel?" Yan Xiyu leaned close to Misha's ear and questioned Ji Li, but was pushed away by Bunny Girl:

"Don't disturb the intimate conversation between brothers!"

Kiss your ass... You can even have a conversation in this kind of situation...

Veins bulged on Yan Xiyu's forehead. She didn't know whether she should envy Misha's big heart or the relaxed and happy relationship between her and Ji Li.

Then Ji Li's voice echoed in her miniature headset:
"It's just a final chat. You can't use your phone here. Let's test the communication situation. The main course will be served soon."

"So how long is this guy going to keep talking nonsense?"

After receiving the information from Yuya Tetsuya, Ji Li's party has completely confirmed the true identity of Li Bingxiao and his group. They are the predators they predicted -

The "Beast Stable" organization.

Although Jiyuga Tetsuya did not know the details of this organization and was just cooperating with it under the orders of his family, he told Ji Li that the other party had once encountered the pursuit of Inukai Saburo in Inuzuka Castle and had finally managed to escape.

So Ji Li knew that the other party was the "Beast Pen".

After sharing Ji Li's information, Misha felt that the guy in the stands looked like a wolf in sheep's clothing, with his wolf-hair face sticking out and his skin not even wrapped tightly.

"Didn't you notice that the people around him were enjoying listening to him fart?"

After hearing this, Misa looked around and said:
"Really? Everyone is still smacking their lips when they hear this."

"It's probably because of the hint related to personal interests..." Yan Xiyu said with understanding.

The agent's previous sentence actually identified the big forces among those involved in the plan and named them.

Those forces that were named showed meaningful smiles to their sides, because they will be the biggest beneficiaries of this future plan.

The next sentence established Li Bingxiao's dominant position. As long as everyone supported Li Bingxiao and did not interfere with his power at will, the future of this city would belong to everyone.

Neither this sentence nor the entire opening statement mentioned the consequences of failed implementation.

Because that was destined to be impossible. The so-called plan was just an excuse to concentrate resources and redistribute them. Everyone present knew it well.

"But what these people don't know is that this so-called 'profit sharing' is just a trap set by predators."

After listening to it, Misa exclaimed:

"I didn't expect that you, Old Ji, also have the potential to develop into a politician. You have analyzed all kinds of subtexts..."

"Enough of the small talk, let's get started..."

At the same time, in the military advisor's VIP room, Yuya Zhe, who was leaning in the corner, also looked up at the military advisor by the window, with a gleam in his eyes.

The military advisor was pressing the micro-earphone beside his ear:

"Avengers, it's time to begin."

The Avengers who were talking below suddenly paused:
"... Then we are about to enter the official stage. For the bright future of Aurora City, I believe that everyone can't wait."

Then, he suddenly changed the subject:
"But unfortunately, before that, on behalf of Councillor Li Bingxiao, I have a question that needs to be answered by the Special Management Bureau..."

Before he finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from the crowd, which made his pupils shrink suddenly:
"The bright future of Aurora City you just mentioned, is it the bright future with you predators?"

In an instant, countless eyes focused on the crowd, looking for the figure who was speaking.

Seeing "Han Xiaofu" slowly walking out from the crowd of high-level officials of the Special Management Bureau, his expression suddenly changed——

"What did he just say?!"

Amidst the countless astonished gazes, the eyes of the Silver Pool Group representative suddenly turned cold:
“…You’re struggling to survive in this way?”

"It's not surprising. When the official start came, they didn't even have a chance to speak."

The old man not far away said lightly. He was Mr. Jiang from Gaoxing Group. At this moment, his one arm had been reattached, but there was still a sense of weirdness and incoordination.

Because his young master lost an arm, his loyalty would not blame Park Dong-geun, and his hidden hatred would only be directed at the Special Management Bureau together with Park Dong-geun.

He was happy to see the ugly side of the Special Management Bureau, and Park Dong-geun was even more so.

However, he was looking for Ji Li's trace at the moment. What he wanted to see was Ji Li's miserable defeat. Only in this way could he soothe the great humiliation that made his teeth itch and his blood boil whenever he thought about it.

As for Han Xiaofu's words, he didn't listen at all -

He is just a police chief. Without the chaebols' contribution to the country's economic recovery decades ago, people like Han Xiaofu would not even have been born.

Amid the crowd's doubtful voices, the agent's shrunken pupils slowly straightened up:

"You may not look sober..."

Ji Li raised his hand and took out a small instrument:

"Then release your spiritual essence to prove that you are a pure human spirit."
