Villain? No, I'll catch up with the protagonist after passing the civil service exam.

On the North Ring Road of Jinghai City, the most absurd traffic spectacle since the city's founding is unfolding.

A dozen or so traffic police motorcycles with flashing lights were suspended in a semi-circle at a distance.

No one dared to approach, and no one dared to stop them.

On the opposite lane at the front of the traffic flow, a large figure looked extremely out of place.

That was the zoo's star attraction, a Siberian tiger nicknamed "Big Fat".

At this moment, this ferocious beast, weighing over 600 pounds, is performing like an acrobat.

Its two thick hind paws were on the foot pedals of the electric scooter, while its front paws gripped the handlebars tightly.

The poor Yadea electric scooter groaned and creaked, its wheels almost flattened.

On the back seat, there were also two boxes of Shuanghui Wangzhongwang cigarettes that had been stolen from a gas station convenience store.

Lu Jingyan pushed open the car door, and a pair of black tactical boots landed steadily.

He looked up and his eyes twitched violently twice.

Even someone with absolute rationality like him felt a tremendous visual shock from this scene.

"Boss, you've finally arrived!"

Zhao Tiezhu, carrying a riot shield, slipped to the car, his forehead covered in sweat.

He pointed at the tiger in front of him that was practicing "drifting," his voice trembling.

"I just tried to communicate with it, and the beast yelled at me."

"What did it say?" Lu Jingyan asked coldly.

"It said...it said it was going to get a massage to wash away the shabby, poor smell of the zoo."

Lu Jingyan walked around the front of the car expressionlessly and strode forward.

At this moment, the Siberian tiger seemed to realize that the electric vehicle was out of power and was pounding the horn impatiently.

"Beep—beep beep—!"

The piercing sound of horns echoed along the empty ring road.

Its massive tiger head suddenly turned around and stared intently at Lu Jingyan as he approached.

A man and a tiger engaged in a cross-species confrontation on an asphalt road.

"Mortals, halt here."

The Siberian tiger opened its mouth.

Its voice resonated like thunder in the chest, hoarse yet carrying a wild ferocity.

"I have awakened the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, and I am no longer a plaything for you to admire."

The tiger slowly released the handlebars of the electric scooter, landed on all fours, and gracefully flicked its tail.

A visible blue aura swirled around it.

This is clearly not a simple mutation, but rather the initial demonization after spiritual energy enters the body.

"The world is about to change; human dominance has come to an end."

The tiger stood up like a human and roared at the sky in a very serious manner.

"From this day forward, this Jinghai City shall be the original site of my Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom!"

"All those with blood and breath should kneel and worship!"

The surrounding traffic police and special agents were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, and some even touched their gun holsters.

Lu Jingyan, however, maintained that calm gaze he gave her, as if she were looking at someone mentally challenged.

He reached into the folder at his waist and pulled out a thick blue booklet.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on Penalties for Administration of Public Security.

Lu Jingyan flipped the page with one hand, his movements practiced, and stopped at a particular page.

"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters?"

Lu Jingyan let out a cold laugh, his voice sounding crisp in the cold wind.

"Have the formalities been completed? Has it been registered with the Administration for Industry and Commerce? Has the claim to territorial sovereignty been filed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

The tiger froze, its large, bell-like eyes widening in shock.

"What did you say?"

"I said you violated the traffic rules."

Lu Jingyan took a step forward, and a rule-level pressure emanated from his body.

Even the Siberian tiger, which had already begun to demonize, felt a tremor from the depths of its soul in the face of that righteous aura.

"First, you snatched the delivery driver's electric scooter and sausages, which constitutes the crime of robbery, and the amount involved is substantial."

"Secondly, you drove a non-motorized vehicle onto the ring road without a license, seriously disrupting public transportation order."

Lu Jingyan pointed his finger at the legal code, his tone growing increasingly cold.

"Third, and most serious."

"Your remarks just now are suspected of subverting state power and constituting an illegal assembly."

The tiger roared to the sky, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"A legal code? What kind of garbage is that!"

"Before absolute power, only my claws hold the truth!"

"You can try and see if your claws are faster or our country's counter-terrorism plan is faster."

Lu Jingyan remained unmoved, and even leisurely took out a megaphone.

He turned to look at Zhao Tiezhu.

"Tiezhu, what procedures should be followed for handling this kind of protected wild animal that refuses to obey management?"

Zhao Tiezhu grinned and pulled the safety on the stun gun.

"Reporting to the boss, physical control can be implemented for wild animals with violent tendencies."

"If there is a serious threat to public safety, then on the spot... you know what."

The tiger felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

It originally thought that as long as it could speak and had strength, it could dominate the city like in the novels.

But the man in front of him didn't see it as a mythical demon at all.

In this man's eyes, it seemed to be nothing more than a drunkard causing trouble.

"You...aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?"

The tiger lowered its body and growled threateningly.

Lu Jingyan snorted coldly and turned on the loudspeaker.

The piercing sound of electricity instantly drowned out the tiger's roar.

His deep, penetrating voice echoed throughout the entire block through the loudspeaker.

"Listen up, tigers inside!"

Lu Jingyan raised the megaphone, his gaze as cold as polar ice.

"Everything you say now will be used against you in court!"

"You have seriously violated the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China'!"

"Because you illegally entered the expressway, drove against traffic, and ignored instructions."

"Please turn off the engine, get out of the car, and pull over immediately!"

"Please also present your driver's license, which is valid for the type of vehicle you are driving, and your forestry-registered ID card!"

The tiger was completely dumbfounded as it stared at the dense array of red and blue flashing lights along the roadside.

He glanced again at the little Yadea bike that was still smoking under his paws.

At this moment, its grand ambition of establishing the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons was filled with a strange "anxiety about violating regulations."

"I...I didn't get a certificate!"

The tiger roared out this sentence instinctively.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyan's lips curled into a cruel, legalistic smile.

"No license? Great."

"That would constitute malicious evasion of supervision, which is an even more serious offense."

"Zhao Tiezhu, request the maximum dose of potent anesthetic."

"Let's send this 'Tiger King' to the police station to wake him up."

The tiger's eyes widened as it angrily pounded the ground.

"You surnamed Lu! You've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death!"

Lu Jingyan remained expressionless and directly pressed the full-channel call button on the walkie-talkie.

"Attention all units: The target individual is refusing to cooperate and is exhibiting antisocial personality traits."

"Armed Police Detachment, prepare. Electromagnetic animal trap will be deployed in three seconds."

"The Tiger King, is that right?"

"Once you're in the interrogation chair, I'll listen to you tell me all about your founding of the nation."
