The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Yanzu thought to himself: My dear team leader, you only realized this today? We old thief realized it on the very first day we transmigrated!

Therefore, you must become stronger! And the faster the better, because the sooner you become strong, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits.

Wang Miao looked at Yanzu.

"Ah Kun, you're the only one left in our team now. I'm going to apply to Chief Wan to promote you to a full investigator."

"Huh? Well, I haven't graduated yet. This isn't in accordance with the regulations."

"Hmph, someone who has saved countless lives and made countless contributions can be arrested whenever he wants. Does he care about such trivial matters?"

Yanzu smiled secretly. He got promoted? That's great!

……

It is still Beijing.

After receiving the order from the Federation to assist in the investigation and arrest of the bandits, the high-ranking members of the five major guild alliances secretly held a meeting.

"This is outrageous! This decision by the Federation is absolutely outrageous!"

I witnessed firsthand the bandits fighting a bloody battle in the main city. They sacrificed many of their own lives, but also saved many others! Including me!

If they hadn't discovered the loophole that Mirror Man couldn't see himself in a mirror, who knows how many more Triple-Tier cultivators would have died!

The speaker was Hua Chuangjing, the leader of the Yanhuang Guild Alliance and the president of the Yanhuang Guild.

If it weren't for a warning from one of the Seven, Hua Chuangjing would have been hit by a close-range self-destruction from a mirror image, and would have been either dead or crippled.

The senior members of the guild alliances who attended the meeting were in complete agreement.

"I don't know much about bandits, but they seem to be doing things that are very popular with the people. If we really go and catch bandits, will the guild still be able to recruit people in the future?"

"If it weren't for these practical interests, I couldn't possibly do something like helping the emperor kill loyal ministers!"

"Actually, the person who orchestrated the arrest warrant was Zhang Erhe. This person is said to have an improper relationship with the Shi family. I strongly suspect that this arrest warrant is entirely Zhang Erhe's way of settling personal scores for the Shi family!"

"Hmph, these guys are such sore losers! They can't beat the bandits, so they resort to calling in their protectors. What kind of scum are they! Bah!"

"Assisting in the investigation and arrest is impossible. Even if I agreed, none of my guild members would actually do it. This whole thing simply can't be done!"

The five major guilds reached a consensus.

They were in the capital, the center of political power, and were somewhat powerless to control their own destiny.

Therefore, it is impossible to openly oppose the federal order.

However, when it came to execution, they chose to slack off.

Everyone in the guild knew the unspoken agreement.

Not only the major guilds, but also the large and small families in the China region, all faced this thorny problem after receiving the Federation's notification.

The top leaders of the Tong family in Shangjing are holding a meeting to discuss the matter.

Tong Zhan knelt down outside the conference room and shouted.

"If the family is going to aid and abet evil, then I'll rebel! First, I'll rebel against the family! Then I'll rebel against the Federation! And then I'll say the family made me do it!"

The eldest elder, who had raised Tong Zhan, rushed out with his cane and started hitting Tong Zhan on the head.

"You're so filial! Get out! Go to the solitary confinement room and reflect on your actions!!"

Tong Zhan shouted himself hoarse.

"Get out! Fine! Get out!"

The Long family was also having a meeting, with Long Tan standing at the door, knocking on the door every now and then to disturb them.

"Uncles and elders, we've been in this meeting for so long! Take a sip—it's a little sweet! How about some Nongfu Spring mineral water? Special price today! Not 998, not 98, just 9.8 yuan! Take a drop of mineral water home!"

Deputy clan leader Long Cheng, unable to bear it any longer, rushed out.

"Alright! Stop disturbing the family meeting! Go do what you're supposed to be doing!"

Longtan chuckled.

"Don't help the federal government catch bandits, they're good people, they saved my life."

"The family has its own decisions; is it any of your business to interfere?"

"Am I, a supernova, really that worthless? Then I need to go in and settle this score with them."

Long Cheng slapped Long Tan unconscious and arranged for someone to take him away.

Within the Gou clan, Gou Bi also experienced a similar situation.

It wasn't just the three of them.

The students in the hundred-person trial group in the capital were trying their best to plead for the bandits, hoping that their families would not assist the Federation in capturing them.

Everyone knows that bandits will not be caught.

Because if they are caught, they will self-destruct.

That would be even worse!

It would be better to be arrested.

If you get caught, you might survive, but you'll have to go to jail.

The more people who surround and capture the bandits, the more bandits will have to self-destruct.

If this continues, this isn't just a wanted notice; it's forcing them to either never show up again or to self-destruct if they do.

That's malicious.

Compared to the family forces that are caught in a dilemma.

The attitudes of ordinary people are more explicit.

Yunshan City is the only city in this global abyss invasion whose city walls were not destroyed.

Almost all the citizens of the city took to the streets.

This is inevitable.

They just saved the entire city and prevented countless families from being torn apart, and now they're issuing a warrant for their arrest, regardless of whether they live or die.

People are all made of flesh and blood, and given the special bond between Yunshan City and the bandits, the people of Yunshan City simply cannot accept this.

"Protest! Protest! Protest!"

"Injustice! Injustice! Injustice!"

"Protest against federal unilateralism, and issue arrest warrants for the criminal organization!"

"The bandits were wronged; the Federation should not indiscriminately kill loyal and innocent people!"

Citizens held high the flags of the dice-themed group case and unfurled huge banners, marching from the east side of the city to the west side, and then from the west side back to the east side.

Countless media outlets were on-site to report on the incident.

Various self-media outlets are closely following the trend of traffic.

The topic has generated a huge amount of discussion online.

Their banner read:

"Arrest the bandits today, arrest you and me tomorrow!"

"We oppose all acts of dictatorship. Please provide all evidence of the bandits' crimes!"

"Even if the bandits are guilty, their contributions should not be ignored!"

"The bandit who did the bad things was an imposter!"

The mayor of Yunshan City stood on his office balcony, watching the clamor of public discontent on the street, which seemed to be about to engulf him, making his fat jiggle in panic.

"Mayor! The city hall is surrounded by protesting citizens! They're threatening to cut off our water and electricity until we give them a reasonable response!"

The portly mayor was completely speechless.

"This...this...it wasn't me who ordered the arrest of the bandits. I didn't want to issue arrest warrants for them either. Going against bandits is suicide! My front door still hasn't been found! I was just following orders."

Just when the municipal bureau was facing a situation where it was cut off from water and electricity and could not enter or leave.

A man in a white coat walked into the crowd.

"Listen to me, everyone!"

The visitor was Ouyang Dongsheng, the bandit's external representative.

Of course, the moment a bandit appears on the wanted list, this system of responsible persons becomes obsolete.

However, the citizens still showed respect when they saw Ouyang Dongsheng.

In these turbulent times, his courage to show himself as an openly known "bandit" is admirable.

Ouyang Dongsheng said as he took off his white coat.

"Citizens, I understand your feelings, but if our protests and attempts to seek justice affect others, then we are playing right into the enemy's hands. Please maintain order during the march and do not damage public facilities."

After speaking, Ouyang Dongsheng walked to the front of the crowd, stood in front of the security guards in front of the Municipal Bureau building, and stretched out his hands.

"Arrest me! I'm a bandit!"
