My career aspirations have come true.

Chapter 73 The Will of the Time Lord

The afternoon sun shines down, bringing warmth and comfort.

However, it couldn't dispel the suffocatingly heavy atmosphere near the main gate of Gouken's headquarters.

The hundreds of special operations team members were like taut bowstrings, their breaths heavy and their eyes fixed on the three figures walking out of the door.

Although there were only three people on the other side, no one present dared to relax for a moment.

The footsteps stopped.

Jingzhe and his two companions stopped about ten meters away from the legion's blockade line, calmly looking in their direction.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then Luo Du's voice broke the silence.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Luo Du, and I am the captain of the North District Detachment."

"Captain Luo's name is known to everyone in the Northern District." Jingzhe said calmly, then paused and added, "Given the Legion's intelligence capabilities, they must already know about the three of us, so there's no need for further introductions."

Luo Du gave Jingzhe a deep look. Judging from his position and expression, this solemn-faced man seemed to be the leader of the three.

He nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Gangquan..."

"It's already destroyed." Jingzhe said calmly, as if describing a trivial matter. "From today onwards, the Gangquan guild will no longer exist in the North District."

Although they had already guessed the outcome when they witnessed the devastation at Gangquan headquarters, hearing it confirmed by the other party still sent a shock through them.

In less than an hour, that behemoth that had dominated the North District for many years and was deeply rooted in the area vanished into thin air.

For a moment, many people felt a dreamlike, dazed feeling.

Luo Du stared at the three of them and slowly asked, "What exactly does Tian Shi want to do?"

This has always been the biggest question on the Legion's mind.

The timing of Tian Shi's appearance was too coincidental, and the actions were highly targeted, specifically targeting those guilds that had committed numerous evils. Their style of doing things was completely different from that of traditional guild forces.

What are they after?

It can't really be just about eliminating evil and maintaining order.

This time, the opening remarks were made on the winter solstice.

He always had a faint smile on his lips, and his demeanor was as elegant as that of a nobleman.

"We were merely following the commands of the Lord of Time."

The Lord of Time?

This unfamiliar title startled everyone present.

Luo Du's pupils contracted sharply as he reacted instantly.

"The Lord of Time...is he your leader?"

"That's one way to understand it." Dongzhi nodded slightly, her smile still elegant. "The will of the Time Lord is the guiding principle for the actions of the Heavenly Time."

When the words "the Lord of Time" were mentioned, both the Winter Solstice and the Awakening of Insects showed sincere reverence on their faces.

Even Shuangjiang, who had been silent and seemed indifferent to everything around him, showed undisguised respect in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Luo Du and Pan De exchanged a glance, both of them somewhat shaken.

What kind of person is the Time Lord, who commands the heartfelt respect of three Level 6 professionals?

Luo Du took a deep breath to calm himself and continued to press, "Then, what is the will of the Time Lord? To clean up the guilds in the North District?"

However, when faced with this question, Dongzhi simply smiled faintly and did not answer.

Jingzhe then calmly spoke: "Our mission is complete. Farewell, everyone."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other side of the street.

Frost silently followed, Winter Solstice nodded with a smile at Chaoluodu, and then stepped forward to follow Awakening of Insects.

Luo Du's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything to stop him.

He simply watched in silence as the three walked further and further away, eventually disappearing at the end of the street.

The tense atmosphere only eased slightly when the three figures were completely out of sight.

"Captain, are we just going to let them go like that?"

One of the team leaders couldn't help but speak up, his tone filled with resentment.

"The copy of Power Fist has most likely already fallen into their hands!"

In the entire North District, only the Gangfist guild owns the dungeon.

The importance of dungeons goes without saying; if we can get the Gangfist dungeon, the entire North District branch will benefit greatly.

At the very least, the number of dungeon challenges that everyone in the squad can get each month will increase.

Luo Du ignored him, staring intently in the direction where the three had disappeared, his expression grave as if he were deep in thought.

Pande glanced at the team leader and sighed softly.

The other team leaders also cast strange glances at that team leader, as if they were looking at an ignorant and naive young man.

Another team leader, who was familiar with the first team leader, couldn't stand it any longer and explained in a low voice:

"Don't talk nonsense. Our opponents are three level 6 professionals. If we really fight, even if we can take them down, we will pay a heavy price."

"Besides, everything Tianshi is doing right now is very favorable to us in terms of results. It would be unwise to go against Tianshi at this time."

The team leader had been blinded by the profits from the dungeon, and now he realized he had asked a stupid question, so he awkwardly shut up and stopped talking.

Zhuang Yi, Tang Wangshu, and Pei Xuan stood in the group, exchanging glances discreetly.

"The timing is incredible." Zhuang Yi lowered his voice, his tone full of amazement. "They wiped out a guild just like that. Their strength is too great."

Tang Wangshu nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Tian Shi's actions today must have been meticulously planned. Taking advantage of Pang Lie's trip and the fact that he was without guards, they quickly killed him, then turned around and launched a surprise attack on the headquarters, annihilating the entire guild with lightning speed."

"The plan is not complicated, but there are two key points that are essential for its success."

"First, we have a precise understanding of Pang Lie's travel patterns; second, we have the strength to kill him in a short time. Any delay could lead to complications, whether it's reinforcements from Gangquan headquarters or intervention from our branch."

"To be able to do these two things, Tian Shi's intelligence capabilities and strength are indeed unfathomable."

After her analysis, Zhuang Yi and Pei Xuan were even more amazed.

Pei Xuan subconsciously looked at Lin Ze, only to find that his team leader's expression was somewhat strange.

"Team leader?" Zhuang Yi also noticed something was amiss.

Lin Ze coughed lightly and nodded in agreement: "Wang Shu's analysis is very accurate."

Meanwhile, Luo Du has ordered regular troops to enter the Gangquan headquarters in an orderly manner to clear the site and take over the area.

After being cleansed by the opportune moment, very few resistance forces remained within the headquarters, and the takeover process went exceptionally smoothly.

A little over ten minutes later, an officer strode up to Luo Du, saluted, and reported: "Sir, based on the interrogation of the survivors, we have located the venue where the Gangquan instance is located, but the instance entrance has disappeared, most likely taken away by Tian Shi. In addition, Gangquan's warehouse and Pang Lie's safe have also been emptied."

This result did not surprise Luo Du. He nodded and asked, "What is the condition of the remaining members of Gangquan?"

"At the time of the incident, Gangquan was preparing to hold a meeting of its officers. Except for Pang Lie, who was on his way, all other officers and above were already present, therefore..."

Luo Du and Pan De exchanged a glance, then both shook their heads with wry smiles.

Now it's certain that Gangquan has truly been completely wiped out.

It's unclear whether Tian Shi knew about the meeting in advance or just stumbled upon it by chance.

If it's the former, then Tian Shi's intelligence gathering capabilities are quite terrifying.

"A guild did the work that should have been done by our legion..."

Luo Du sighed with a complicated expression.

Pande opened his mouth, but then stopped himself from speaking.

His feelings were equally complex.
