A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 954 - 940: Central City

Ivan was clearly terrified.

At this moment, as the eldest son of the Lawrence Clan, half of his body had completely transformed into transparent crystal. It appeared to be a defense mechanism, which had enabled him to survive the Black Moon Giant's attack earlier.

After all, Baiyu's attack was indiscriminate.

It was meant to directly eliminate the supernatural creatures on the airship, preventing anything from escaping and causing greater harm.

Ivan and the others were also caught in the attack.

Of course.

They did not blame Baiyu.

In fact, they still couldn't figure out what the sudden appearance of those large hands was all about.

"Hello, my name is Ivan. I have been an old adversary of Changzhi Shuyuan, but didn't expect him to actually dare to make a move to kill me this time, dragging you into the fray." Ivan politely addressed Baiyu.

The other person carried with him a calm and composed aristocratic air, not panicking even in this situation.

"Well, it's alright, such people collude with human enemies, engaging in evil dealings with the Evil God, demons, and supernatural creatures, and they deserve to be exterminated by everyone. Regardless of the country, as long as they are human, they should intervene upon witnessing such deeds."

Baiyu spoke with righteous fervor.

The conflict between demons and humans is irreconcilable, and the Evil God is the supporter behind the demons.

This is a matter of principle.

Ivan nodded, his gaze becoming more settled. A person who can say such words must have a decent nature and is someone worth befriending.

Soon.

After getting to know each other, both of them had a vague impression of each other.

Ivan used his family's special contacts to reach the Lawrence Clan.

Meanwhile, Baiyu also planned to use the conveniences of the Lawrence Clan to enter Central City and seize the opportunity to complete the task entrusted by Loloya.

Of course.

Before completing the task, Baiyu had to figure out who exactly Machima was.

Logically.

A death row inmate in the Federation must have committed great crimes, but generally antisocial and antihuman criminals often have links with demons and the Evil God.

Machima is likely such a person.

However.

Loloya would never save such a person.

Baiyu was puzzled by this task, and could only take things as they came, as he had already arrived in the Free Federation, with no possibility of returning the same way.

"Brother Bai, what happened to the airship? If Changzhi Shuyuan returns to Central City first, he might turn the tables on me, and things will become extremely troublesome."

Ivan appeared somewhat worried.

When he fell from mid-air, he didn't land beside the airship, so he was unaware of the situation over there.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Changzhi Shuyuan should already be dead," Baiyu said indifferently.

Ivan's eyes subtly changed upon hearing this, and he nodded: "If that's the case, then it shouldn't be an issue. Let's go first."

The three of them moved on, waiting for rescue as they walked.

Not long after.

A pure white airship gradually emerged from the direction of Central City, bearing the Lawrence Clan's family emblem.

Ivan quickly contacted the people on the airship, and the three successfully boarded the vessel, where a Lawrence Clan officer welcomed them.

"Young master, nothing serious happened, right? The family is already arranging things, and they will soon address the aftermath. Several Federation big shots died in this airship accident, what exactly happened?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The officer was not surprised Ivan survived.

He possessed many life-saving artifacts, coupled with a top expert like Mountain King An Shuo beside him for protection. It would be more surprising if he didn't survive.

Ivan was silent for a while: "It's a long story. In short, Changzhi Shuyuan went mad and colluded with Mike Tea, intending to slaughter everyone aboard the airship as a sacrifice."

The officer's eyes widened upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous.

If this is confirmed, even the Changzhi family cannot withstand such a grave error.

It's very likely.

The entire Changzhi family would collapse because of this incident.

The airship began to slowly approach Central City.

This was equivalent to the Federation's capital, covering a vast area with a population exceeding a billion, extremely astonishing.

The environment of Central City was also highly modern.

High-rise buildings and flying cars crisscrossing the sky.

And floating above Central City were numerous war fortresses that could blanket every corner with concentrated firepower, enabling precise strikes immediately in case of any anomaly.

That is to say.

The defense here is comparable to the Great City and the East Prosperity Imperial's Miracle City.

Although Baiyu had never seen the defense of Miracle City, he had witnessed the defenses of the Great City firsthand, where countless cultists and demons attacked simultaneously but were instantly suppressed.

Even after the Blessed Land opened.

It quickly resolved the issues arising from the Blessed Land.

Ancient ruins like the Blessed Land can only be protected by major forces, while minor ones would be inviting trouble despite having precious treasures.

Thus, Central City, rivaling the Great City, wouldn't have weak defenses. Such densely populated mega-cities are the vital abode of humanity.

If such places fall, humanity would face extinction.

"Brother Bai, we're almost entering the Lawrence Clan's territory. Is there anything you need help with? I can offer some conveniences." Ivan wanted Baiyu to stay, but couldn't explicitly say so.

Otherwise, it would be awkward for everyone.

Baiyu did not wish to be too entangled with these large families, shaking his head directly: "Nothing else, being safely transported to Central City is already a great help.

By the way.

Brother Ivan, remember the promise you made to me, keep it confidential.

Once you come to the Great City or the East Prosperity Imperial, I'll host a reception in your honor and properly thank you." Baiyu said with a smile.

He didn't want to make the airship incident public.

Ivan nodded: "Don't worry, I always keep my word. Besides, Brother Bai, you're my friend and benefactor. If I, Ivan, don't honor my promises, wouldn't that make me an ungrateful scoundrel?"

Baiyu nodded.

He trusted Ivan's words.

Based on their brief interaction, Ivan gave Baiyu a good impression, despite having an air of arrogance common among playboys, it wasn't annoying.

Moreover, on the airship.

The values Ivan showed in the face of life and death were also very much to Baiyu's liking.

Very soon.

Baiyu arrived on the bustling streets of Central City.

The flow of people was lively, most wearing proper attire, seemingly comprising office workers.

Furthermore, Baiyu noticed many martial artists among the crowd.

These martial artists appeared inconspicuous amidst the general populace.
