Chapter 883: Uproar at Wayne Tower
Eliza stood there, stunned.
She watched as the two high-ranking security guards, who had been pointing guns at each other just a moment ago, suddenly bowed respectfully and made way for her.
How is that possible?
Security at Wayne Tower is notoriously tight in Gotham City, with security personnel at level 50 or higher who have undergone brainwashing training and only obey Bruce Wayne's orders.
But this gentleman only snapped his fingers, without revealing even a trace of magic. How did these two security guards switch sides so instantly?
Eliza swallowed hard, looking at Zhou Huai's calm profile, feeling even more that he was unfathomable.
Of course, she didn't know that Zhou Huai hadn't used any complicated magic.
In the instant he snapped his fingers, he used Caesar's power to flick two invisible alien parasites into the back of the necks of the two security guards.
With Zhou Huai's current strength as a half-step transcendent being, coupled with the parasitic laws of the Zerg.
Controlling two low-level security guards in their fifties was a piece of cake; they were left no room for mental resistance.
"Let's go in."
Zhou Huai ignored the two bent-over security guards, put his hands in his pockets, and stepped into the revolving door of Wayne Building.
Eliza snapped out of her daze, quickly folded the wings on her back, and followed closely behind Zhou Huai.
The lobby on the first floor of Wayne Building is luxuriously decorated.
The floor was paved with magical crystal tiles, and magical chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The air was filled with a calming fragrance.
However, the two had only been in the hall for less than ten seconds.
"Beep beep beep—!"
The hidden magic scanner lit up red, and a sharp notification sound rang out.
The guards responsible for patrolling and sentry duty immediately noticed the anomaly.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Accompanied by a flurry of footsteps, more than twenty fully armed guards surged out from all directions, surrounding Zhou Huai and Eliza.
These guards were clearly a level higher than the security guards outside the door. They were all level 60 professionals, carrying magic-powered rifles, with their guns locked on the two people in the center of the hall.
"Attention! Jon and Tom seem to be controlled!"
The head guard gripped his heavy broadsword tightly, stared at Zhou Huai, and shouted a warning: "The opponent has mind control abilities! Everyone, activate your mental defense shields!"
"Buzz—"
More than twenty light blue mental shields lit up on the guards.
The captain of the guards, his face wary and his body surging with battle aura, stepped forward and demanded, "Who exactly are you people? How dare you use evil magic to control our people and break into Wayne Tower? What are you trying to do?!"
Faced with this situation, Zhou Huai remained expressionless.
He stood quietly in place, without making any reaction, seemingly not taking these twenty-odd level 60 experts seriously at all.
Seeing this, Eliza feared that this killing machine would level Wayne Tower, ruining their plan to borrow the airship.
She quickly stepped out from behind Zhou Huai, trying to ease the tension.
Please don't misunderstand!
Eliza bowed slightly, trying to keep her tone calm: "I am Eliza of the Arigol family. We are here today with no ill intentions, but we have an extremely important matter to discuss with Mayor Wayne. We would be grateful if you could inform him of our presence."
"The Yalige family?"
The captain of the guard frowned, clearly having heard of the name.
Just as he was hesitating whether to report it.
Who cares what they're here for!
Among the guards, a burly, blond white man stepped forward.
This person was level 65 and was the vice-captain of the guard. Relying on Bruce Wayne's backing, he usually acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and didn't take a girl from a fallen family seriously at all.
He glanced at Eliza with disdain, then stared at Zhou Huai and sneered.
"Have you all forgotten the rules set by Mayor Wayne?"
The blond white man raised a heavy warhammer crackling with lightning, pointed it at Zhou Huai, and roared, "Unauthorized trespassing in Wayne Tower means death! There's no room for nonsense!"
Before he could finish speaking, the blond white man gave no one time to react, and his power erupted instantly.
"Thunderous force!"
He roared and leaped high into the air, his warhammer crackling with lightning and sonic boom as he slammed it down on Zhou Huai's head.
He used all his strength in this attack, clearly wanting to establish his authority in front of everyone and kill the blond youth in front of him.
The wind pressure was so strong that Eliza could barely open her eyes. She cried out in surprise, her face turning pale.
The surrounding guards all wore amused smiles, waiting to see what would happen to Zhou Huai.
However, faced with this fatal blow...
Zhou Huai kept his hands in his pockets and didn't move an inch.
"You?"
Zhou Huai's lips curled slightly, a thought forming in his mind.
"boom--!"
There were no warning signs whatsoever.
Just as the warhammer was less than half a meter above Zhou Huai's head, the void in front of him suddenly distorted.
An extremely imposing and enormous figure appeared out of thin air!
It is none other than the SS-level immortal bulwark—Xiang Yu!
Xiang Yu, nearly three meters tall with bulging muscles, stood firmly in front of Zhou Huai and Eliza, clad in heavy, dark gold armor.
"clang--!!!"
A deafening clang of metal clashing echoed through the hall.
The shockwave spread outwards, shattering several thick Roman columns in the hall.
The blond-haired white man's thunderous strike, enough to instantly kill any professional of the same level, landed squarely on Xiang Yu's broad chest.
"Die!"
However, the next second, the expression on his face froze.
He discovered that his prized Thunder Hammer, when struck on this burly man, hadn't even left a white mark.
The violent power of thunder was completely absorbed by Xiang Yu's body.
To everyone's astonishment, Xiang Yu's health bar didn't even tremble slightly.
"This...how is this possible?!"
The blond-haired white man was filled with horror, feeling his hands gripping the warhammer split open, blood gushing out. A terrifying recoil force swept back along the warhammer, shattering the bones in both his arms.
"ah--!"
He let out a scream and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a wall in the distance. His fate was unknown.
The entire room fell silent.
The guards, who were originally prepared to watch the show, were all stunned, their backs drenched in cold sweat.
"Oh My God......"
"That was a full-force attack from a level 65 berserker! And it didn't even break through their defense?"
"What kind of monster is this burly man?!"
The guards looked at each other, their hands gripping their weapons trembling uncontrollably.
The captain of the guard frowned, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He was also a seasoned expert, and he could tell at a glance that this suddenly appearing burly man was definitely a top-tier tank with unfathomable skill.
The blond youth who always had his hands in his pockets was the real mastermind behind the scenes.
This is definitely not someone to be trifled with!
Alarm bells rang in the captain's mind; he knew that with just their numbers, they simply couldn't stop them.
Without the slightest hesitation, the captain turned around abruptly and slammed his fist into the red emergency button on the wall.
"Woo-! Woo-! Woo-!"
The alarm shattered the tranquility of Wayne Tower in an instant, and red lights flashed on every floor of the building.
