The Trickster King

Chapter 562 The Show is About to Begin

In the skies above G City, countless crimson beams fell upon streets, buildings, villages, and residential areas.

As the red light dissipated, beastmen soldiers clad in armor appeared, wielding the latest thunder rifles. They blockaded all major transportation routes and the entrances to special units.

At this moment, a Tulo official said to the mayor, "Mr. Mayor, why is your comprehension so poor?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

The Tulo official crossed his arms. "Fine! Then I'll say it again."

As he spoke, he sat directly on the mayor's office desk. "Humans can only live a good life with the help of us Tulo people."

The mayor frowned. "Why?"

"Isn't it obvious? Before we arrived, you killed each other, suspected each other, and waged war. After we came, the whole world became peaceful. This is the so-called good life."

He then jumped down from the desk and stood face-to-face with the mayor. "Hey! I'm asking if you genuinely don't understand or if you're pretending to be confused?"

The mayor quickly said, "Let me think about it properly…"

After five minutes, the mayor said, "Then can I go out for a walk?"

The Tulo official nodded. "You can." He then said to the nearby Japanese soldiers, "Follow him."

The Japanese soldiers feasted in restaurants and snack stalls in G City. They had never experienced such delicious food.

Meanwhile, in a large plaza, a person holding a whip paced back and forth among the crowd.

Whispers erupted from the crowd, "Who is this person?"

"He doesn't look like a good person."

"Definitely a lackey of the aliens."

The whip-wielding person pointed the whip at the crowd and shouted in Japanese, "No one is allowed to speak or move erratically, do you hear me?"

Another woman shouted, translating the whip-wielder's words. The crowd was enraged. It turned out to be a Japanese person.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers outside the plaza, someone whispered, "Hmph! This is absurd. They're asking us to collectively reflect and acknowledge our mistakes. Isn't this turning right into wrong?"

A person next to him nudged him. "Can't you be quieter?"

That person's temper flared instead. "What's there to fear? We're all fish on a cutting board."

"What about those giant robots earlier? Why aren't they deployed?"

"I'm afraid they are no match for these aliens either."

The Japanese soldiers shouted, "What are you all talking about? Shut up and reflect properly."

At this time, on the Death Star, a Tulo official said, "Your Highness, everything in G City has been arranged."

"Good, very good. Have you found a spokesperson?"

"We have. His name is Oda. I heard he is a very famous noble in a small human country. Most importantly, he possesses an artifact of our clan from a thousand years ago. And he pledged allegiance upon our first meeting."

Chuidiers turned to look at him. "By the way, my daughter mentioned that in G City, there's a young man named Xiao Xun who is quite extraordinary. He might not be human, but he is on the human side. Make sure to find him, and try to keep him alive."

"Yes, Your Highness."

In the plaza, Oda was tired from walking and was resting on a chair, eating pastries.

Just then, a plump little boy approached him. "Uncle, can I have a piece?"

Oda looked at him, then at the female translator. The translator blocked Oda and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but they've stipulated that you must go hungry."

"For the sake of us being human, please give the children a bite to eat! They are still growing."

The female translator reached out and pinched the little boy's cheek. "You've gotten so fat, you should be on a diet. Big sister is doing this for your own good."

The little boy's father pushed the translator away and shielded his child. "Why is it that out of so many people in G City, you've captured us?"

The female translator snorted and said sarcastically, "For that, you'll have to ask Xiao Xun."

"Xiao Xun?"

"Who is Xiao Xun?"

"Who is Xiao Xun?"

Secretary Fan was also in the crowd. She didn't know Oda's true identity, and Oda didn't know hers, but both knew Xiao Xun's identity.

At this moment, a Tulo official walked over. "Mr. Oda, our Guardian God wishes to see you."

Oda said, flattered, "That's wonderful. Where is Your Highness?"

Two Japanese soldiers came forward. "Mr. Pang Jiadong, please come with us!"

Oda entered a building. In the past, he would never have been allowed in here, but today, he moved freely. This was the tallest building in G City.

Entering a banquet hall, he was greeted by a giant monster with a wolf's head and a human body.

"You must be the Guardian God!"

Chuidiers looked at the crowd in the plaza. "You are very sensible."

"My ancestors taught me that there is an old saying in this country: 'He who knows the opportune moment is a hero.'"

Chuidiers nodded. "By the way, I heard you once occupied many places here. Did your ancestors also teach you how to unify human thought?"

Oda thought for a moment. "Destroy all the books in the world, tamper with all the knowledge on the internet, and only leave what you desire."

Chuidiers' eyes narrowed. "Your idea is excellent. Throughout human history, wars and conflicts caused by ideologies and cultures have brought you humans so much disaster. Examples like this are endless. You need simple thinking and unified commands. Only then can you enter a new era and usher in a beautiful new life."

In the plaza, the Tulo official said to the crowd, "As long as you reveal Xiao Xun's whereabouts, you can all go home."

"But we don't know this person you speak of."

"If even one person speaks up, everyone can go home."

"Whoever knows this Xiao Xun, hurry up and say it!"

"I have no impression of this person."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "I know! He was the technical director of the Saint Roman Group."

"I know too! He's a famous kept man in G City."

The Tulo official smiled. "Then tell me, where is he now?"

"He found the former CEO of the Saint Roman Group, Mu Jiahe, as his wife. He should be in the wealthy villa district in the eastern suburbs."

"Very good! Anything else?"

Han Yuanzong raised his hand. "My lord, I know. I was the HRBP of the Saint Roman Group. The company has his detailed file, including his family members."

The crowd cast looks of disdain at him. The Tulo official walked up to him. "Give me his information, and you can all go home. Furthermore, you will be the next CEO of Saint Roman."

"Really?"

"Of course…"

Wang Sucheng hid in the crowd and snorted, muttering, "Shameless fellow."

"He doesn't know as much as I do. I was Xiao Xun's college roommate."

Zhang Ming walked up to Han Yuanzong. "I got into this company thanks to Xiao Xun's recommendation."

Lu Qiaoya grabbed Zhang Ming's arm and cursed, "Zhang Ming, I misjudged you. You ungrateful wretch."

Zhang Ming pointed at Lu Qiaoya. "He is also Xiao Xun's college roommate."

The Tulo official beamed. "Excellent, you three can go home. The rest of you stay."

Due to the Tulo's face-altering technology, they had transformed their faces into the most handsome and beautiful among humans. Everyone felt favorably towards the Tulo officials. Perhaps this was the legendary 'beauty is justice.'

Xiao Xun saw that G City had been invaded. The entire Sector Eight was hesitant to act, as the enemy had not harmed the citizens, making it difficult to make a move.

"Why was G City invaded so quickly? Did the head of Sector Eight do nothing? That's also the location of Sector Eight's base!"

Su Xiang explained, "Perhaps it happened too suddenly, and Pang Jiadong didn't have time to react."

Xiao Xun spun around. "This is bad. Sector Eight is still connected to the Door Gods Association's internal network."

He immediately pushed the door open and went to the server room, calling for Black Shark, Ark Survivor, and Golden Finger. "The three of you, come with me. We're going to hack into the entire Sector Eight base's internal network."

"Why?"

"Now that Sector Eight's base is in enemy territory, there are too many variables. We need to hurry."

"Alright."

The four world-class hackers tried for a long time but couldn't break in. Xiao Xun, angered, picked up the phone. "Hello? Call all the computer experts from our headquarters."

Despite the efforts of the hackers, they managed to break through to the last point and were about to gain control of Sector Eight. Unexpectedly, the opponent's underlying logic directly rebounded, causing everything to fail.

"Listen to my command, immediately disconnect the internal networks of all sectors, set up new lines, and initiate complete network silence."

"Yes!"

At this moment, a beautiful blonde woman walked in. "Mr. Xiao, the President wishes to see you in his office."

Xiao Xun put down his work and hurried to the office.

Kensett looked distressed. Seeing Xiao Xun, he said, "Sector Eight is in big trouble."

"What big trouble?"

"The head of Sector Eight, Pang Jiadong, defected under the instigation of the Japanese Oda."

Xiao Xun's brow furrowed. "Then what should we do next?"

"I am now ordering the dismissal of Pang Jiadong and all Door Gods Association personnel in Sector Eight from their positions. Now, take a few trustworthy people and regain command of Sector Eight, then seize the opportunity to drive out the invaders."

"Yes, I understand."

On the Death Star, "Your Highness, these were collected from every household."

"Confession format, face-to-face interviews…"

"All face-to-face interviews? Then when will that be finished?"

"Our goal is not to eliminate humanity entirely. Let's find a few prominent figures to talk to!"

"Yes!"

A few hours later, Orcas looked at the people brought back. "Mr. Mayor, what are the problems with you humans?"

"The problems of humans must be solved by humans themselves."

Orcas said with a smile, "You humans are patients. How can patients treat themselves?"

Then, ignoring the mayor, he looked at another person in uniform. "You are the public security officer here, aren't you?"

"You could call me that."

Orcas asked him, "Can humans like you manage things?"

"I think not."

"Very good. But can you completely solve the problems?"

The answer he received was solemn. "I have always been solving problems."

"But conflicts and contradictions have always existed, haven't they?"

"It seems so."

Orcas nodded. "Then, after we arrived, did these still exist?"

"No."

"What does this indicate?"

"Because new troubles arrived, the old problems ceased to matter."

"…"

Orcas nodded. "Humanity's biggest flaw is to argue when they've made a mistake. Fortunately, facts speak louder than words. Sophistry is useless. You may go."

"Alright, then let facts speak louder than words!"

At this moment, leaflets like snowflakes flew down from the sky above G City. The content was: "Dear compatriots, the darkness is about to pass, and dawn is coming. Let us unite closely and fight the evil Tulo people tirelessly."

The Tulo official shouted, "No picking them up! Burn them all."

Guardian God Ancole clenched his fist and shouted, "It seems we have been too lenient with humans."

An hour later, that sinister voice echoed in the sky again. "People of G City, all who wish to live must repent to the Tulo. Our patience is limited, and opportunities are limited. Do you understand? Do you understand? Three days. We only give you three days."

Late at night, several Tulo soldiers were attacked. Although they did not die, they suffered considerable injuries.

Oda, as the Tulo's spokesperson in G City, was furious. He had his Japanese soldiers round up almost everyone in the city and bring them to the plaza.

"I will punish you doubly, so you know what pain is. You've gone too far. Do you know why? Because as fellow humans, I don't want bloodshed. I can't bear to do it."

He then looked at the public security officer. "As G City's highest law enforcement agency, what do you intend to do?"

The public security officer said expressionlessly, "I've retired."

"What about Mayor?"

"I'm rather eager to experience your Japanese methods."

"Very well, you are very eager to learn."

"Always have been."

Oda waved his hand. "Bring that person named Pang Jiadong here."

"Yes!"

Seeing the person brought forward, Oda handed him a whip. "Take this whip and hit him hard."

Pang Jiadong looked at the whip in his hand and asked curiously, "Hit who?"

"The Mayor."

"This…"

Oda turned to him. "Do you have any questions?"

"No, no."

Pang Jiadong walked up to the Mayor. "Mayor…"

Oda urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up. Do you want me to do it myself?"

"Mayor, please just yield a little!"

"I'm not like you, acting like a dog. Get started! Your master is getting angry."

People behind them cursed, "Lapdog."

"Traitor."

"Pah…"

Pang Jiadong took a deep breath. "Mayor, don't blame me. I have to consider the bigger picture."

As he raised his hand, a bullet pierced his hand.

"Ah!"

Oda took a step forward. "How many floors in a bag of rice?"

"I'll do it…"

Oda picked up the whip that had fallen to the ground, walked towards the Mayor, and shouted, "I gave too much rice in a bag."

At this moment, the people in the plaza began to move forward.

"Stop, or face immediate execution."

But the people in the plaza did not compromise and shielded the Mayor.

"Fire, open fire."

Oda shook his head. "Look at these people, what have they done? They've sacrificed their lives in vain…"

He scanned the crowd. "It seems there are still some misunderstandings. This is understandable, as our interaction has been very brief. Today, I will assign you a new leader, Pang Jiadong. From now on, you will be the new Mayor of G City."

"I believe Mr. Pang Jiadong will maintain the prosperity and peace of G City. Rejoice! The dark past is over, and humanity's future will be even brighter."

Pang Jiadong stood up, clutching his right hand. "Please, citizens, believe me, I will…"

The person holding the gun had already aimed it at Pang Jiadong's head. At this moment, his hand was pressed down. "Don't rush, the show is about to begin."

Suddenly, Pang Jiadong was sent flying.

Then, a beam of purple light appeared from nowhere and exploded Oda's head. The scene immediately descended into chaos.

At this moment, Ancole appeared in the plaza.

The purple light beam then struck Ancole's crocodile head, and a hexagonal light shield appeared in front of Ancole, blocking the fatal blow.

"You dare to sneak attack me?"

Ancole flew up and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

As everyone was bewildered, a handsome middle-aged man wearing a golden crown and white robes appeared before them.

He looked at the blood on the ground and the fallen crowd, shaking his head. "What a sin!"

He took the microphone from the Japanese soldier and said to the survivors in the plaza, "This is truly a huge misunderstanding. Let me introduce myself, I am the son of the King of Planet Tulo, the Death Star King Orcas."

"I believe our methods were too simplistic and have frightened you. Recently, we have discovered multiple deaths of Tulo people in G City, which you have all witnessed. Therefore, we have been somewhat rash in handling certain matters. We are looking for Xiao Xun because he is not one of your Blue Star people; he is an alien, our enemy, and also your enemy. His presence among you will only bring you misfortune.

In general, we Tulo people are polite and respectful towards you. Although we were a bit anxious, we have not truly harmed you, because we understand that you humans are our friends. Therefore, I hope you can forgive our momentary recklessness.

I have specifically come today to announce our decision."

He then looked at a nearby Tulo official. "You read it out."

"The decision is as follows: From this day forward, all of us Tulo people will withdraw from G City. To express our goodwill and trust, we are entrusting you with the task of finding Xiao Xun. From now on, all matters concerning humans will be handled by humans themselves. Our purpose in doing this is to avoid infringing upon your rights.

As long as you find Xiao Xun and our alien traitor, and hand them over to us, we will immediately leave Blue Star and sign a non-aggression pact.

Orcas loudly declared, "From now on, all Tulo people, withdraw to the Death Star."

"Yes!"
