Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 51: Chapter 49: Execution

Having witnessed Su Jie’s bizarre and terrifying figure with his own eyes, Lu Wenbo finally understood why his staff had reported to him in such a manner.

Because the boss of Jieke Company was really a non-human!

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Su Jie jumped down from the back of the thousand-hand centipede and walked step by step in front of Lu Wenbo.

“You… what exactly are you?”

Lu Wenbo’s pupils shrank to the size of a needlepoint.

The existence of Su Jie shattered his worldview; how could such supernatural powers exist in this world?

Could it be that the ghosts, deities, and devils of legend were all real, and he had been kept in the dark and deceived his entire life?

“I’m just an ordinary businessman.”

Su Jie approached Lu Wenbo with an ever-growing smile on his face.

Lu Wenbo: “…”

“Don’t… don’t come any closer, I told you not to come any closer.”

Shivering, Lu Wenbo drew the gold-plated handgun from his waist; his eyes filled with fear as he pointed the gun at Su Jie, yet it offered him no sense of security.

“Tsk tsk, it was you who called me here to meet, and now you’re telling me not to come closer. Is there something wrong with your brain?”

Su Jie cracked a smile, and in the blink of an eye, the gold handgun was in his hands.

“Nice taste, I’ll add it to my collection.”

After fiddling with it for a moment, Su Jie tossed it into his Storage Bag.

And Lu Wenbo had lost all his courage and collapsed on the ground, powerless, no longer maintaining the air of a warlord who once commanded the winds and clouds.

“I am from the Wu Family, one of the three major families. If you dare kill me, my family will never let you off.”

Faced with such an inhuman monster, he could only invoke the name of his backer now, hoping to scare Su Jie away.

In Chan Country, apart from the government army, various warlords stood in great numbers, and the three major families—the Wu, Bai, and Liu Families—controlled a large part of the economic and political resources of Chan Country. They could influence certain political elections behind the scenes and held significant sway in the country.

Lu Wenbo was a scion of the Wu Family, one of these three major families.

Upon hearing this, Su Jie shook his head repeatedly: “Kill you? No, no, no, you can’t die yet.”

Lu Wenbo’s face brightened, thinking his family’s influence had intimidated the other party.

“Let me go quickly, or else my family…”

“Killing you now would be a loss. There’s nothing more intimidating than an execution on the spot. Many people want to see you executed with their own eyes.”

Lu Wenbo’s voice stopped abruptly. How could he not understand Su Jie’s intentions? This was a demonstration to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!

Su Jie squatted down, casually picked up a bayonet, and shattered Lu Wenbo’s tongue to prevent him from speaking out of turn. Ignoring the other’s screams, he threw him onto the jeep.

At the same time, the pale corpse hands of the thousand-hand centipede had dealt with the last of the fleeing soldiers. On Su Jie’s command, they began digging a mass grave to bury all the corpses.

The aftermath of the battlefield could be handled by the Security Department to clean up, collecting useful firearms and equipment. The barracks of the Mande United Army would be just right for the newly established headquarters of the Jieke Security Department.

After settling all this, Su Jie got into the jeep and headed back to Mande City.

………….

Mande City, at the central square.

A large crowd of citizens had gathered because staff from Jieke Company had been spreading word all over the city about the downfall of the Mande United Army and the capture of Lu Wenbo, who was to be publicly tried and executed for his crimes.

Such news naturally drew the attention of the public.

When the time reached 3 p.m., a squad from Jieke Security brought the limp Lu Wenbo to the square.

At that moment, the entire square erupted.

Mande City had suffered under Lu Wenbo’s misdeeds for far too long. During his years as a warlord, his brutal and greedy actions had caused public outrage, and now seeing him dragged along like a dead dog naturally thrilled the crowd, who applauded and cheered with glee.

Meanwhile, near the square, Su Jie was amiably patting the shoulder of a middle-aged man.

This was the newly appointed mayor, previously the deputy mayor of Mande City, An Sangshen, who spoke, “Mayor An, it’s your turn to go on stage. You should know what to say, right?”

“Understood, Mr. Su, please be assured, I will absolutely follow your instructions.”

As the mayor, An Sangshen was nodding and bowing to Su Jie, almost as if he were ready to cut open his chest and show his loyalty.

Because An Sangshen was acutely aware of how he got his position, and he knew that if the other party wished, they could dismiss him at any time and replace him with another puppet to serve as mayor.

“Go ahead.”

Su Jie waved his hand, and An Sangshen dared not delay. He jogged up to the temporary platform and, upon seeing Lu Wenbo being brought over, he said into the microphone, “I am An Sangshen, the new mayor of Mande City. Everyone, please look, this is Lu Wenbo, who has poisoned the Mande Region for many years, also known as General Lu in everyone’s words. Here, I would like to especially thank Jieke Company for assisting our municipal government in capturing him. His so-called Mande United Army has also been completely annihilated. From now on, you no longer have to pay exorbitant levies or taxes, nor worry about being oppressed by the Mande United Army… ”

An Sangshen, with a script in hand, spoke eloquently on the platform, drawing cheers like thunder from the crowd below.

Meanwhile, below the platform, Su Jie walked over slowly and sat down next to Liu Yingying.

Liu Yingying, serving as the nominal president of Jieke Company, sat in the best location, accompanied by a group of Mande City officials who were specially invited. Most of these officials were uninvolved with Lu Wenbo, or had only minor connections. Those who were deeply entangled with the official had already been taken into custody by Jieke Company.

Seeing that Su Jie said nothing, Liu Yingying, recalling his earlier admonitions, voiced a warning to the officials beside her.

“Gentlemen, many key positions in Mande City are now vacant. I hope that after you take office, you won’t forget what happened today. Do not repeat the same mistakes. Keep your hands clean, or else you won’t want to experience the methods of Jieke Company.”

Liu Yingying cast her gaze aside, and her words made several officials sweat profusely as they hurriedly assured her, “Not at all, not at all. Whatever Jieke Company asks us to do, we will do.”

After all, Chan Country was a nation full of warlords, and the officials were accustomed to such changes in power. Although Jieke Company was nominally just a company, being able to unite hundreds of thousands of civilians and annihilate the powerful Mande United Army undoubtedly made it the new overlord of the Mande Region. The officials were very clear about who they served.

“That’s good.”

Liu Yingying nodded indifferently, though her heart was far from calm.

She had never had the chance to speak with officials who controlled a city before. Now, not only could she converse with them, she could also reprimand them, which gave Liu Yingying an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

All of this was brought about by Su Jie.

Su Jie had clearly stated that he wanted her to act as the spokesperson for Jieke Company in the Mande Region, overseeing all affairs big and small in his absence.

Liu Yingying raised her head, her gaze complicated as she looked at Su Jie by her side.

She had also been to the Mande United Army camp and saw all the remnants of battle there.

Without a sound, the Mande United Army, which had boasted over a thousand soldiers, was suddenly annihilated, and Lu Wenbo had been captured alive.

Liu Yingying speculated that Su Jie must still secretly control a military force; otherwise, it wasn’t possible to accomplish all this without anyone noticing.

Shaking her head, Liu Yingying cast aside the thoughts swirling in her mind and heard An Sangshen announce the various crimes of Lu Wenbo and the Mande United Army.

“… I hereby declare, 21 counts of crimes have been proven against Lu Wenbo, and the death penalty will be carried out.”

After An Sangshen finished reading, several members of Jieke Security forced the trembling Lu Wenbo to kneel on the ground. One stood behind Lu Wenbo, raised a long spear, aimed it at the back of his head, and pulled the trigger.

The Jieke Security executor was in his early twenties, specifically appointed by Su Jie – Miao Lun.

Crack!

Along with a gunshot, Lu Wenbo fell, his eyes still wide with disbelief, and a resounding cheer rose from the square, celebrating the removal of the largest tumor in the Mande Region.

With microphone in hand, An Sangshen glanced at Su Jie seated below, then addressed the crowd again, “To prevent incidents like that with Lu Wenbo from happening again, our municipal government has signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Jieke Company. We support Jieke Company in providing commercial cooperation and security assurance in the Mande Region. Next, I would like to invite the president of Jieke Company to speak on stage. Please welcome her.”

Liu Yingying took a deep breath, feeling somewhat nervous.

“It’s just reading from a script, you’re a top student, what’s there to fear from such a small occasion.”

Su Jie gave Liu Yingying a push, and with courage, she stepped up onto the platform, picked up the microphone, and her clear voice rang out.

“Fellow citizens, I am Liu Yingying, the president of Jieke Company. Now that the Mande United Army has been destroyed, our Jieke Company hereby solemnly promises that we will not allow any outside forces to disrupt the peaceful lives in the Mande Region. We will protect everyone’s safety and property.

Also, our Jieke Company will increase our investment in the Mande Region. As long as everyone focuses on breeding insects, Jieke Company’s farms will purchase them unconditionally, allowing everyone to become wealthy by raising insects and enjoy a comfortable life.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Jieke Company!”

“Jieke Company!”

“Jieke Company!”

The crowd below shouted one after another, with Jieke Company, having eliminated the Mande United Army, now shining brightly in the eyes of the citizens.
