Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 238 Reactions from all parties
Before Master Mingyu and his group returned to Tianxia, ​​the video from Berkeley was uploaded to the internet.

Clouds shimmering with multicolored light, figures enveloped in golden light, ordinary people captured and captured, modern buildings destroyed by lightning...

"A new Hollywood movie? The latest Cloverfield?"

"Does it include the movie title? I'll check it out when I have time."

"Haha, great special effects! Zeus versus Odin? Are the Norse royal court or Mount Olympus attacking Earth?"

"It's true! I'll say it again, it's true!"

“My cousin works in Berkeley as a janitor, but unfortunately he was too surprised to record it.”

"The person upstairs is talking nonsense. I'm in Berkeley. I woke up this morning and there was nothing there. There was no alien invasion or the end of the world. I'm still at work as usual today. Why didn't the aliens just strike my boss dead with a bolt of lightning?"

"Let me show you Berklee College of Music this morning. There are still students playing the violin, and nothing has happened."

"The special effects weren't very good. There were a lot of different video angles, and I even saw one that was right across from the Calvin Tower. After the tower was destroyed, even the cars below didn't shake. It was so fake."

"Although I didn't see anything last night, Berkeley's 13th district was placed under martial law this morning. Also, the Calvin Group building really did collapse!"

Apart from those who actually witnessed it last night, very few people believed what happened in the early hours of the morning, but the collapse of the Calvin Group building still left the city residents with mixed feelings.

"Could it be that the White House or the Hexagonal Building did something bad again and then framed aliens?"

"A conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy by the Celestial Dragons!"

Some people habitually expressed their skepticism, and then they discovered that most of the videos about Berkeley were taken down, a few were limited in reach, and they were also labeled as AI-generated or misinformation.

"Hahaha, I knew it!"

"Fake news!"

"There is a conspiracy!"

As it turns out, while the internet is powerful, it doesn't mean that no information can be completely concealed. Those in power have sufficient means to block or restrict the flow of information, or to label or muddy the waters to achieve their desired effects.

But those in positions of power are naturally well aware of the truth.

"Are they really aliens?"

"Maybe... they're not aliens, or rather, they're worse than aliens..."

"How bad?"

"They might be superheroes from the heavens."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"At 4:05 a.m. yesterday, Western Time, the colorful clouds and golden figures appeared, and then many more golden figures split off. The video shows that those people took several ordinary people back with them."

They were an international student from Tianxia and his parents, along with a man named Eric Calvin, the son of the current chairman of the Calvin Group.

The host quickly explained what had happened between Changyi and Eric, his previous situation, and the results of their investigation that morning.

"You mean, those golden figures rescued the exchange student and his parents, killed Eric, and placed his body on top of the ruins of the Calvin Building?"

"Yes, and we just received a report that Eric's parents were found dead in their villa in San Francisco."

"That foreign student's name is... what was it again? Who exactly is he?"

“His parents are just ordinary people, but according to some of his classmates, he comes from the Celestial Master's Mansion, a religious organization across the ocean, and he also knows magic.”

"Spells? Like a priest's mass, a witch playing with a crystal ball, or a scary magic trick?"

"Yes, sir, as you know, our country also has Buddhist monks."

"I know, but they absolutely cannot fly, nor can they destroy a modern building; they can't even withstand a bullet!"

"Are the wizards in Tianxia really that powerful?" "People on the other side call them Taoist priests."

"What they call themselves is unimportant!" the elder in the lead roared. "What matters is that they dare to run wild on our territory!"

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell silent, and the atmosphere became very tense.

"Would this be considered an act of intrusion? Should we send a diplomatic note to the other side of the ocean?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Diplomatic notes are meant to be made public. We just managed to cover up the Berkeley issue. Are you going to expose it again?"

"Tell the whole world that there are extraordinary people in this world, that we have been humiliated by them, but we can't do anything about it!"

"Then what should we do now?"

"Of course we should investigate! We should start with that international student, and then with the religious organization behind him. We need to find out who those flying golden figures are and what their abilities are!"

"Also, we need to ask the mages in our country, go to churches, find witches, and find magicians to ask if they can do what's shown in the video. We must acquire equal power!"

As the most distinguished people on this planet, they instinctively felt fear in the face of this power that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

The Calvin family is undoubtedly a prominent family in California and one of the masters of the country, but the sudden and tragic deaths of the patriarch and eldest son in this generation have deeply affected them, making them feel a strong sense of threat.

……

As for the other side, they naturally received the news as well.

"They made their move."

Wow! What a spectacle!

"Is this lightning magic? In less than a year, it has evolved from striking trees with lightning from the palm of your hand to striking buildings with lightning from the sky?" someone joked.

After all, they're on our side. Our mindset is much better than theirs. Although it's still mind-blowing, we're mentally prepared and can accept it.

"So many golden figures, could they be those old Taoist priests?"

"The distance was too far, and the golden light was too bright, so I couldn't make out what those figures looked like."

"It seems our judgment was correct. Those old Taoist priests have indeed improved, or perhaps we were too conservative in our estimates. They have improved significantly."

Someone's eyes lit up, "If only..."

"Don't rush, take your time. Besides, I estimate there will definitely be significant limitations. Otherwise, why wouldn't Gu Zhao improve the strength of his parents and those two girlfriends?"

“Those old Taoist priests have all cultivated internal energy, and even the youngest one, Li Yunyang, is a genius disciple that the Eight Immortals Palace only produces once every few years.”

"Moreover... they just spoke to us on the phone, and they performed miracles in front of the American people. Although it was indeed a coincidence, they could have easily avoided making such a big fuss."

"Could it be that……"

"Are they calling us out?"

The elderly man at the head of the group nodded. "After all, they are our own people. It would be awkward to speak too harshly, and we are worried that we might have inappropriate thoughts. So, we might as well use the United States to establish our authority, let us know what is important, and correct our mindset."

Some people expressed slight dissatisfaction, asking, "Are we that kind of people?"

However, some people praised him, saying, "After all, he's an old master, he's prudent in his dealings and he made sure things were clear before the talks even started."

Someone asked curiously, "Well, they've gone on a business trip to Citibank. Will they be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow morning?"

"Of course we can make it. We checked the call times from the telecom company. Starting from when Master Zhiqing called Master Mingyu, their speed is much faster than that of a commercial airliner."

"Get ready, we need to board the plane."
