Chapter 797 - 304: Defection and Uprising (Part 4)

How could someone who fought on the battlefield for the Eastern Alliance, never questioning life or death, suddenly betray us?

At the break of dawn, the secretary hurriedly entered the bedroom. Seeing Mo Dongjun, who hadn’t rested well and exuded a low aura, he whispered, "Hierarch, Ying Chenzhou has not been captured yet."

The golden period for capturing a defector is the first five hours.

After five hours, if the police and military couldn’t capture Ying Chenzhou while working together, it’s likely they won’t catch him.

"Where could he go?" the secretary frowned and said, "In the past, renegades could flee to Bai Ze Island for refuge. Now that the Bai Ze Realm has replaced Bai Ze Island, where could Ying Chenzhou possibly go?"

Mo Dongjun squinted, lightly pressing her temple with the thumb of her left hand that held a cigarette.

What she feared was Ying Chenzhou fleeing to the Bai Ze Realm.

That Huo Wen’an...

Thinking of Huo Wen’an’s sword, Mo Dongjun couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Recently, rumors have been flying in the Divine Martial Realm, spreading from the Super Power User class to the common people, prophesying the return of the Divine Hidden Emperor.

There are vague whispers that the rising star of the Bai Ze Realm, Captain Huo, is the reincarnation of the Divine Hidden Emperor.

Whether it’s true or not, the rumor has already planted a seed in the hearts of the people.

Ying Chenzhou was a politician of the Eastern Alliance.

If he indeed joins the Bai Ze Realm and becomes Huo Wen’an’s subordinate, it will undoubtedly cause a massive international uproar.

This would trigger an unforeseen chain reaction.

*

The news of Ying Chenzhou’s defection and escape spread to all the top Eastern Alliance politicians by that night. The military and police jointly attempted to capture and kill Ying Chenzhou in Capital City, but to no avail.

Those in the know expected Mo Dongjun, in his rage, to apply to other alliances for a capture order, seeking to apprehend Ying Chenzhou across the Divine Martial Realm.

But unexpectedly, as dawn broke, the hierarch’s office issued an order to withdraw the capture of Ying Chenzhou.

Upon receiving this order, Mondez, beside himself with rage, stormed into the hierarch’s office floor early in the morning, dragging his illness-wracked body.

The reception secretary, seeing Mondez’s furious arrival, didn’t stop him, instead politely escorting him to Mo Dongjun’s office.

The attendant knocked on the door.

Soon, a green light flashed on the door handle, and the office door opened automatically from inside.

"Governor, please enter." The attendant watched Mondez enter the office, then left.

"Governor Mondez, hello." The intelligent terminal Xiao Zhi greeted Mondez as usual.

Mondez looked up at the camera on the office ceiling, his face filled with anger.

Mo Dongjun sat behind the desk, watching Mondez calmly.

Her composed demeanor only fueled Mondez’s fury further. "Lord Alliance Leader." In a few strides, Mondez approached Mo Dongjun’s desk, pressing his hands on it and bending forward to question her, "Why did you withdraw the capture order for Ying Chenzhou?! Last night, he barged into my house, wounded me, and even burned the Alliance flag!"

"This is national humiliation and betrayal!"

Mo Dongjun listened leisurely before nodding, "You know all too well why he broke into your house."

Mondez’s eyes widened, attempting to refute but finding himself speechless.

He eventually retorted with a cold laugh, "I’m not the only one in this Alliance building registered as a Hell Palace member. I killed Su Qin also for the honor of the Eastern Alliance Government."

"After all, I am the Governor of the Eastern Alliance Police Station. If my image collapses, so does that of the Alliance Government."

"Hierarch, I think you understand my predicament." Mondez dared to reveal these words to Mo Dongjun because he knew that the old witch, Mo Dongjun, was the same kind as him.

They both were people who, for the sake of family reputation and the interests of the Eastern Alliance Government, would stop at nothing.

Indeed, Mo Dongjun showed no change in expression after hearing his outrageous admission. "Killing Su Qin is no problem."

"Yesterday, Ying Chenzhou came to see me, wanting to apply for a thorough investigation on you. I refused."

Upon hearing that, Mondez laughed.

He sat down in a chair, spreading his legs, unabashedly displaying his arrogance as a ruler, saying straight away, "Ying Chenzhou is really stubborn. He’s a good dog, but unfortunately, he’s becoming increasingly disobedient."

"Lord Alliance Leader, why don’t we take this opportunity to arrest and kill him for treason?" Although Ying Chenzhou is formidable, he hasn’t reached the level of power needed to confront the entire Eastern Alliance Government.

Mondez saw this as a golden opportunity to eliminate Ying Chenzhou.

Mo Dongjun observed Mondez’s arrogance quietly. Her expression indifferent, she lit a cigarette and began to smoke.

When Mo Dongjun remained silent, focusing only on her cigarette, the wafting smoke seemed to create an invisible pressure surrounding Mondez.

Instinctively, he sat up straight, adopting a correct and proper posture.

Mondez silently gazed at Mo Dongjun.

In the Eastern Alliance, they were leaders chosen and sent by the superpower families to work for the Alliance Government, but not Mo Dongjun.

Mo Dongjun was both the Hierarch of the Eastern Alliance and the only female Family Head of the Mo Family.

It’s said she is an S-Class Superpower User of the Spiritual type, capable of entering and manipulating dreams to kill without leaving a trace.

Anyone whose spiritual power is weaker than hers cannot escape her deadly grasp.

No matter how arrogant Mondez and his peers were, they dared not truly provoke Mo Dongjun’s wrath.

He belatedly realized that his earlier posture and tone were disrespectful to Mo Dongjun, causing a tingling fear within him.

Mondez sat properly, humbly and respectfully asking Mo Dongjun for guidance, "Lord Alliance Leader, I understand that you have your considerations for withdrawing the capture order on Ying Chenzhou, but as the Governor of the Police Station, I also deserve a reasonable explanation."

Rumor had it there was an ambiguous relationship between Ying Chenzhou and Mo Dongjun; was that really the reason?

Mo Dongjun, holding her cigarette and leaning against the chair, looked with a disgusted gaze at Mondez’s sinister face and asked, "If we issue a primary capture order to arrest Ying Chenzhou across the entire Divine Martial Realm, what will he do when cornered?"

Mondez followed Mo Dongjun’s line of thinking deeply.

"... He would have no choice but to go to the Bai Ze Realm." As Mondez spoke these words, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Hmph." Seeing that Mondez had considered this, Mo Dongjun remarked, "Your brain hasn’t rusted."

Mondez lowered his head in embarrassment.

"We can’t push him to the brink. If we push him too hard and he defects to the Bai Ze Realm, we truly lose face."

Mo Dongjun sat upright, musing, "Now, with the Divine Martial Realm already stirring due to the prophecy of the Divine Hidden Emperor’s return, if Ying Chenzhou aligns with Huo Wen’an at this critical juncture, imagine the chain reaction it would cause."

Mondez dared not imagine.

Mo Dongjun waved a tired hand, "Enough, rather than trying to capture Ying Chenzhou at all costs, think of how to resolve the Death Notice matter."

At the mention of the "Death Notice," Mondez’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
