However, as a second-tier planetary-level mentalist, Ister's strength is similar to these two, so he can be included as well.
So, currently, there are only three people on the entire planet who can be considered to be on par with "Liu Ting," at the same level.
The first and second-ranked Hong and Thor are temporarily unattainable for her, and the third, fourth, and fifth-ranked are no longer a threat to her with the Dark God Set. On the entire Earth, there are only two humans left who can threaten her life.
From then on, the sky was high and the sea was wide, allowing her to roam freely.
It was precisely because of this confidence that she dared to personally travel to America six months later to deal with Ronan herself.
A planetary-level mentalist is already powerful enough to roam freely on this earth.
Of course, this is on the premise of not provoking the two freaks, Hong and Thor.
Compared to other planetary species on Earth, these two are practically not even the same species.
While most people were only at the first or second level of the Planetary Realm, these two, one at the sixth level and the other at the seventh level, had created a gap of dozens of times between themselves and the others, and their martial arts realm was also far ahead of everyone else.
It wasn't until Liu Ting herself mastered the Devouring Star system that she realized just how monstrous these two were.
Although she is now a planetary-level mentalist, if she were to fight those two, she would probably still be completely crushed.
At least until she possesses the strength to rival Hong and Thor, she cannot be too arrogant.
If it weren't for the presence of Hong and Thor maintaining the rules of Earth, and the fact that she still couldn't defeat these two powerful beings, she would have stormed into the Colenwall family in America and slaughtered Elliott along with them.
However, there's no need to be overly low-key.
If America insists on pursuing her relentlessly, she doesn't mind demonstrating her strength and letting them know they have to swallow their pride.
A planetary-level expert is not someone that America or the HR Alliance would dare to easily handle.
Liu Ting stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the darkening sky in the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She wanted to see what tricks that old man, Elliott Cromwell, could pull.
You, a first-level planetary martial artist, wouldn't dare to go against me, a first-level planetary mentalist, would you?
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in New York City, America, at the Cromwell family estate.
Elliott Cromwell stood in a dimly lit study, his face so somber it was almost dripping with gloom.
Don't ask him why he didn't turn on the lights; the dimness only serves to highlight his mood at that moment.
Two reports were spread out on the desk in front of him.
One document is a preliminary investigation report on the attack on Milo Cromwell's intelligent fighter jet by a King-class monster.
The other document is the on-site investigation record regarding Ronan Cromwell's death.
Milo is dead.
Ronan also died.
The patriarch of House Cromwell and his designated successor both died on the same day.
This is by no means an accident.
He stared intently at the two reports, his jaw clenched.
Who did it?
He already had an answer in his heart, or rather, a doubt.
Liu Ting.
Han Xia was a junior academician, oh no, he's now a senior academician.
The nineteen-year-old girl who was hailed in a small circle as the "world's number one scientist".
That ant who dared to glare at him with wide eyes at the Virtual War God Palace meeting half a year ago.
She had done nothing for the past six months, remaining as quiet as a stagnant pool, but Elliott knew that such quietness was abnormal.
She must be waiting, waiting for an opportunity.
And now, she has finally gotten what she's been waiting for.
She took advantage of her trip to America to oversee the construction of the electromagnetic railgun and made her move, and he, surprisingly, didn't raise any awareness beforehand!
As someone who knew about Ronan's behavior six months ago, and considering the relationship between Gao Jiyuan and "Liu Ting," as well as the fact that "Liu Ting" had recently been directing the installation of the electromagnetic railgun in America, he immediately suspected Liu Ting.
Liu Ting had the motive, the ability, and happened to be there. Elliott put himself in her shoes and felt that she was definitely the one who did it.
Elliott closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and, having identified a suspect, suppressed his anger and ordered a full-scale investigation into "Liu Ting," hoping to find any evidence linking her to the deaths of Milo and Ronan.
Unfortunately, after several days of investigation and the use of a large amount of manpower and resources, no evidence was found that "Liu Ting" was responsible. Instead, evidence was found that Ronan had arranged for someone to add a mysterious substance to the Milos fighter jet.
Further investigation revealed that Ronan was responsible for Milo's death at the hands of a King-level monster, leaving him momentarily stunned.
I am the one in charge of the Cromwell family. How did you all end up fighting each other for power and turning against each other?
Even being the second child requires fighting?!
Elliott's punch unleashed a burst of primal energy that instantly destroyed the entire manor; he was enraged and berserk.
Do you even respect me? You started fighting amongst yourselves without even asking me?!
Elliott suppressed his anger and, amidst the horrified gazes of many, took flight and flew to another family's manor.
There is still no conclusive evidence as to who killed Ronan, but that's no longer important.
Milo didn't die from someone else's conspiracy, but from an internal family struggle. This outcome was of no benefit to the Cromwell family, and he couldn't accept it.
We must make a fuss about this and profit from it to make up for the loss that Milo's death has caused to the family!
Almost immediately, Elliott decided to pin the blame for Milo and Ronan's deaths on Liu Ting.
It doesn't matter if we can't find evidence. We can fabricate some evidence to solidify the charges, and then go to the War God Palace to initiate a resolution to detain Liu Ting. As long as the chain of evidence is logically sound, he is confident that he can win the support of more than half of the councilors.
The emergence of Liu Ting in Hanxia is generally beneficial to all of humanity, but for some countries and forces, she is a real threat. The stance is subjective, and there are many people who do not want to see Hanxia rise.
If this allows us to detain Liu Ting and use the name of the War God Palace to conduct overall oversight of the Earth Alliance...
From then on, the things she researched would not be exclusively for Hanxia, but would be available to everyone, which would benefit everyone!
As for how unfair this is to Liu Ting... few planetary-level beings would care about the personal wishes of ants below the planetary level.
It is an honor for you that people recognize your abilities.
After making the decision, Elliott quickly had someone retrieve some documents that the family had acquired more than six months ago but had kept hidden away.
Among them are videos of how Han Xia and his two War God-level mentalists attracted a King-level monster to chase Murphy and others, delaying their takeover of the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins.
There were also satellite images of "Liu Ting" briefly appearing in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, in the territory of a certain king-level monster, when the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins were attacked by a beast tide.
And the video of Milo being attacked by a King-level monster, etc.
Through a series of deliberate edits, the content of various videos was pieced together to form a chain of evidence that Liu Ting colluded with a King-level monster to attack the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins in order to avenge her master, and murdered Milo in the same way.
There are also some carefully designed supporting materials that form a complete chain of evidence proving that these were done by Liu Ting.
These are all facts, not fabrications by the Cromwell family, but none of them prove anything when taken individually.
However, if these are put together, along with biased inferences and interpretations, it is enough to cause a huge uproar in the Ares Palace.
A group of planetary-level beings dealing with an ant below planetary level doesn't need any solid evidence; all they need is for the fifty-odd councilors to vote and for a majority to pass.
Elliott hadn't originally planned to use these things so soon; he intended to wait for a more suitable opportunity to use them against Hanxia.
But now that this has happened, it's a perfect opportunity, and we don't need to wait any longer.
The Cromwell family had professionals who handled the video editing and the deduction of the chain of evidence flawlessly.
Without hesitation, Elliott quickly checked it and submitted it directly to the Ares Palace.
At the same time, he began to contact powerful council members who were also unwilling to see Han Xia rise to power on his own.
These legislators are located all over the world.
There are high-ranking military officials from America, top-tier retainers from the HR Alliance, unparalleled powerhouses from Europe, super-ruthless individuals from the Soviet Union, and the mastermind behind a super mercenary group...
They might not really believe Liu Ting would do such a thing, but they needed an excuse to suppress Han Xia's growing influence.
After making the contact, he put on the consciousness-sensing helmet and entered the virtual War God Palace.
Faced with the intelligence of the War God Palace, he resolutely issued his demands:
"You should have already verified the materials you just presented. Contact all the members of parliament for me; I need to initiate an emergency resolution."
"The topic is—the accusation that Han Xia, a senior academician and alternate member of the War God Palace, is suspected of colluding with a king-level monster to attack the No. 26 ancient civilization ruins and murdering the patriarch of the core family of the HR Alliance."
His voice was cold and resolute, without any hesitation.
As for why Ronan wasn't mentioned... what level of matter is this? Is there any room for his name to appear?
When news of the impending emergency meeting at the Ares Palace reached Han Xia, Yao Weiwu was reviewing documents in his office at the National Defense Science and Technology Research Institute.
He put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and remained silent for a long time.
Then, he picked up the communicator and dialed Liu Ting's number.
"Xiao Liu."
"Ok?"
“Elliot has made his move. He submitted a resolution to the Ares Palace, demanding your detention and investigation on charges of colluding with a King-level monster to attack the No. 26 Ancient Civilization Ruins, resulting in the deaths of six Ares, and murdering the patriarch of the core family of the HR Alliance and his heir.”
"Three hours later, there will be a hearing to explain the resolution and vote. You will be present as the defendant and confront Elliott in court."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a soft chuckle.
"Oh? He actually dares to do that."
The voice carried a hint of ease, even a touch of amusement, as if this were not a matter of life and death, but rather a fun game.
“I’d like to see what kind of ‘evidence’ he can come up with to accuse me.”
"By the way, Mr. Yao, do you have his contact information? Give him a call and tell him to be prepared."
“If the evidence he presents is not convincing enough for me… then Cromwell will bear the brunt of my wrath.”
Yao Weiwu listened to the calm and confident voice of the young woman on the other end of the phone, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
"...You're getting more and more courageous, girl."
"Okay, I'll pass on the message for you."
He hung up the call, gazing at the darkening sky outside the window, a complex light flashing in his eyes.
