Armipotent

Tang Shaoyang peeked through the window, looking at the victim of Su Hong's rebellion against him. The girls were hugging their knees, still crying even after the rescue. The trauma they had experienced was the worst thing women could have experienced.

As Tang Shaoyang looked at them, a thought crossed his mind. What if he was killed by Antorias? What would happen to his women? He did not dare to imagine what would happen to them, especially because of his status as the emperor. His women would be a trophy for the rebels, and he could easily imagine what would happen to them.

That only convinced him to re-investigate to get to the bottom of this rebellion. He believed that Antorias approached more people than just Su Hong.

Tang Shaoyang turned around when more people from the healer division entered the building. He met Tang Shaoyang, who led the Healer Division, staring at him with concern.

"I know compensation can't help them with the trauma, but still give them a huge compensation for what they have experienced. Do everything to help them to get over this incident."

"I will do that even without your order, but are you okay?" Kang Xue was not used to seeing Tang Shaoyang with his dark expression. She could tell that the rebel truly made her man furious, which concerned her. She heard from Marshal Alton that Tang Shaoyang wanted to investigate the Tarrior, and that made her afraid that this incident would cloud Tang Shaoyang's judgment. The last thing she wanted was a bloodbath, as she knew how angry Tang Shaoyang was. She had seen it once in the past, and she did not want to repeat it again.

"I am…." Tang Shaoyang wanted to say, 'I am fine', but he stopped midway. He decided to be honest with his thoughts, "I just imagine what if Antorias successfully killed me? What will happen to you and the other girls? That scared me…."

Kang Xue was caught off guard by Tang Shaoyang's thoughts. It was not something she expected to hear from him. The Tang Shaoyang she knew was very confident; he should not have those thoughts. There was no if; he would always face everything bravely and unwavering.

Instead of consoling him, Kang Xue let out a small laugh, "You are still a human, after all." That was a realization for her; he was the same as the others.

Tang Shaoyang followed with a chuckle, "Technically, I am not the same human as you guys. I am one-third demon, one-third high human, and one-third dragon."

Kang Xue was aware of what Tang Shaoyang talked about because he had told all the girls. The race evolution he had gone through in another world.

The zombie attack caused unrest for the people inside the capital. It concerned them that strong zombies suddenly appeared inside and started to run amok. Even though it was just a short-time of attack, the damage was not small. The zombie destroyed a few buildings, and a lot of citizens were killed.

Most of the surviving citizens gathered around the main base. That was the first sight Tang Shaoyang saw when he arrived in the capital. The crowd forced him to land on top of the main base. He rushed into the building, and the first thing he did was ask Origin about the contracts, "I want all the contracts for the Tarrior to be checked, Origin. I want to know if there are more people who rebelled."

He used the contract to scare the people. The contract said that he or she would die if they breached the System Contract, which was not true. The contract could only indicate if the involved person breached the contract. It was an effective way to discover the people who wanted to rebel. He wanted all the contracts, millions of contracts to be checked right away. He let Marshal Alton do his own investigation, but he would not be idle, too, until he ensured everything was safe, no more traitors and no more rebellion. This once was enough, he would not let the same thing happen, and he had his plan to intimidate people with rebels he caught earlier.

[I am doing it right now, Your Majesty!] Origin's reply came right after.

"Focus on the Tarrior first, then the TEIS, and the other divisions!"

[Yes, Your Majesty. Lady Li Shuang is waiting for you in your office. It seems there's an urgent situation below. Do you want to halt the contract checking and find out what happens below?]

"No. Focus on the contract. I will meet Li Shuang," Tang Shaoyang rushed toward the emergency stairs, running down to his office. He arrived in front of his office, and Li Shuang just came out of his office.

"What happens?"

"People are protesting below about the zombie attack. They are asking for an explanation from you about the attack," Li Shuang said in a concerned tone.

"Hmm!? Asking for an explanation?" Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brows, "What explanation? It's a zombie attack."

"They asked Yu Shun to be executed for the zombie attack. It seems they knew that Yu Shun was the one behind the zombie attack," Li Shuang was in a tough situation. She did not yet know the clear situation regarding Yu Shun, so she did not know what to say to calm the crowd. She was doing her best not to use force, so she wanted Tang Shaoyang to meet them. The Emperor was the only one who could decide Yu Shun's fate, after all.

"Wait, how do they know it was Yu Shun?" Tang Shaoyang paused for a moment, thinking of how the civilians found out about Yu Shun. Luo Lan, Kang Xue, Zhang Mengyao, Wei Xi, and Cao Jingyi were the only ones who met with Yu Shun in the throne hall. He trusted all of them; they would not disclose anything about Yu Shun.

"I see. Antorias got something out of TEIS, huh?" He suddenly remembered that TEIS that surrounded him and Yu Shun during the fight. TEIS should know something about Yu Shun, and these people got information about Yu Shun from the TEIS people.

'But who?' Tang Shaoyang trusted his father-in-law, Kang Jiayi. He would not do something like that behind him. If his father-in-law had something to say, the old man would speak directly to him instead of using public like this.

"Call their representatives to the throne room. I will wait for them there,"

Li Shuang nodded and rushed to the elevator. Tang Shaoyang also walked to a different elevator, heading toward the throne room. As the elevator went down, he remembered something. Instead of waiting for the elevator to reach the floor destination, he broke out of the elevator and the smart base.

Tang Shaoyang rushed toward the Healer Division HQ, where Yu Shun was. Yu Shun was Antorias' apostle, and Antorias might try to get Yu Shun through his other people. As soon as he arrived at the Healer Division, he saw TEIS outside the HQ.

As he was about to enter the building, two TEIS officers came and tried to block him, "You can't enter the building right now. We are currently investigating the suspect behind the zombie attack."

Tang Shaoyang responded by grabbing the officer on the right by the neck. He raised the man and got the man's face closer to him, "Do you not know who I am?"

As he questioned the TEIS officer, Slayer Aura and Dragon Aura flared out. That caused all the people around him to take five steps back. The officer's face went blue as his eyes wavered in fear. Hearing no answer, Tang Shaoyang threw the officer away, and he entered the building.

More TEIS officers were inside, but they did not dare to block him this time. No one dared enough to block him when he released his aura.

Tang Shaoyang quickly arrived where Yu Shun was, and dozens of TEIS officers guarded the door. The door to the room was closed; as he was about to open the door, two officers stood in front of him, "I am sorry, Sir. TEIS is conducting an investigation on a dangerous suspect. TEIS doesn't want you to get hurt, so please stay back until we finish our investigation."

"It seems I need to show my face more often, so you will recognize who you serve," After saying that, Tang Shaoyang summoned Bronson, the Executioner, and Galeon, the Great Demon. Both were Grade SS Spirit; the two should be enough to ward off these officers.

"Kill anyone who tries to enter the room!" After that, he pushed the two officers in front of him. The two officers' bodies crashed into the door and rolled on the floor inside the room.

Tang Shaoyang then saw what was going on inside, and he guessed it right. Ten officers tried to take Yu Shun, but Luo Lan tried to block them all. The girl was in tears, trying to fend off the officers who tried to take the weak Yu Shun off the bed.

"Your Majesty!" Luo Lan cried out as soon as she spotted Tang Shaoyang.

When "Your Majesty" was mentioned by Luo Lan, everyone's attention was on Tang Shaoyang. The nine officers backed out from the bed, leaving a man behind. The man seemed to be the one who led the TEIS to capture Yu Shun.

Tang Shaoyang approached the man and questioned, "Who ordered you to capture Yu Shun?"

"Yu Shun is the top suspect for the zombie attack, Your Majesty. We need to capture him for an interrogation," The officer gave a firm reply.
