Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 446 - 441: Beijing Training Camp (Part 19)

Chapter 446: Chapter 441: Beijing Training Camp (Part 19)

On this day, the Huazhou Alliance was shaken.

Dozens of family heads were affected, and there were near uprisings within several security bureaus and bases. Although they were quickly suppressed, they still had a considerable impact.

Online public opinion continued to ferment, leaving families who wanted to suppress it powerless, unable to delete it all.

It’s as if countless accounts appeared online overnight, like weeds that couldn’t be eradicated, refreshing and updating continuously.

The students in the conference room received calls from home questioning them, demanding they return home immediately and not participate in the training.

But the students glanced at Ji Ning, hesitantly revealing their situation, even taking pictures of Ji Ning.

This was at Ji Ning’s direction.

The students’ parents dared not act recklessly, gritting their teeth with hatred.

Even though these children might not significantly impact their families, they were still their own flesh and blood, and it hurt to see them suffer.

"I told you not to use Xiao Er’s safety for this. Look at her situation now. If anything happens to her, I won’t live either." A student’s mother looked at the information, breaking down in tears.

The man beside her also had an unpleasant look, "This is all for the family..."

"To hell with the family! Why doesn’t the Family Head use his own child for this?" The mother furiously threw the pillow in her hand at the man, screaming like she was going mad: "I’m telling you, Wang Youde, if anything happens to Xiao Er, I’ll bang my head against the Family Head’s door, make sure his hands are stained with blood, and no one will have a good time!"

"Calm down."

"Calm down? He wasn’t the one pregnant for ten months, was he? Have you been keeping a mistress outside like the Family Head?"

Yet another family battle.

This kind of "war" spread from dozens of families to over a hundred, affecting almost half of the Huazhou Alliance.

It was later recorded in unofficial histories, called the First Scandal of the New Century in Hua Continent.

At the Security Department, the phone on Li Wenxin’s desk kept ringing.

But he didn’t answer any of them.

He calmly admired the scenery outside.

His lips slightly curved upwards.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

A secretary’s knock came from outside the door.

"Come in—"

The secretary pushed the door open, looking troubled, "Sir, ten or more family representatives have already come downstairs, strongly requesting to see you and Leader Ji."

Without turning around, Li Wenxin replied calmly, "Tell them I am not here. If they want to meet someone, they should go to the training camp and talk to Ji Ning."

"Yes..."

The faces of the family representatives turned ashen, inwardly cursing Li Wenxin as an old fox.

Clearly knowing they wouldn’t dare directly confront Ji Ning, he still tells them to face Ji Ning’s wrath.

But the Security Department is Li Wenxin’s turf, filled with highly skilled individuals, and they dared not break in forcefully.

"Young Master, what should we do? Minister Li won’t see us."

"Go, to the training camp!"

...

When some of them reluctantly arrived at the training camp, they saw their younger generations in the conference room looking at them with disappointment.

Guilt washed over them, but more than that, they felt anger.

What was this look? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Was it so unreasonable to ask him to sacrifice a little for the family’s cause?

The student, treated as a pawn, saw that their elder only gave them a warning glare without saying a comforting word, their discontent and disappointment reached a peak, almost wanting to sever ties with the family.

"Are you Ji Ning? If there’s anything, we can sit down and talk. There’s no need to make such a big fuss, right?" The man at the front angrily scrutinized the young woman in front of him.

His eyes revealed a hint of disdain.

Everyone is playing cards on the table, it’s all about mindset and tactics, so why are you flipping the table when you can’t handle it?

Just a substitute pushed out by those three families, acting all arrogant here?

Ji Ning coldly looked at the aggressive family representatives, still calmly seated.

"Talk? That wasn’t your intention earlier."

The man sneered, "So what? Let me tell you, you were the one who started meddling with everyone’s cake, breaking the rules."

Ji Ning sneered, "Cake? Rules? Who’s the cake? Who made the rules?"

The man glanced around, seeing only their younger generations, and didn’t beat around the bush anymore.

He warned, "Ji Ning, let this end here; let’s all take a step back. We’ll let you lead the students to finish this competition smoothly, but stay out of future competitions."

Ji Ning looked at him, assuming she’d agree to his proud attitude, smiled, "No way. What are you going to do?"

The man was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Ji Ning to refuse, his gaze sharpening again as he tried to suppress his anger to continue negotiating.

"Ji Ning, we know you’re also forced into this, but it’s not just those three families you can choose from. We can also provide what you want. Think carefully. This matter only brings you harm, not benefit. Why not come to our side? Your position might even be promoted one level."

Ji Ning saw him endure to win her over, a bit curious to see how far he’d go, and said calmly, "I’m not planning to change jobs yet."

The man, seeing she was unmoved, gave up pretending, pointed at Ji Ning’s nose, and cursed, "Ji Ning, who do you think you are? Just a puppet pushed out by those three families, do you think just because you share a name, you are her? Let me put it straight, either you be a good mascot, keep your hands where they belong, or we can replace the puppet."

Ji Ning raised an eyebrow, "Replace? Do you have new candidates already?"

The man sneered, dragged a nearby chair to sit down, and scrutinized Ji Ning like merchandise.

"The rules are in our hands, so naturally, we decide whose puppet."

Ji Ning’s gaze turned icy, "You don’t believe I’m her?"

The man was stunned, then burst out laughing, "You are her? Hahaha... Just a century-old ruse, not even a child would believe someone dead for 120 years would return. Do you think even inside the Ji Family Army and among those three families, they believe in such nonsense? If they did, you wouldn’t exist."

Looking at him and those behind him, Ji Ning felt utterly calm inside.

"If that’s the case, then you can go accompany her."

Ji Ning’s extremely calm tone delivered chilling words, and the man’s pupils expanded, his body quickly retreating, but it was too late.

A sharp pain struck the brain, and he froze, eyes gradually dilating.

The representatives who came with him shouted grimly towards the door, "Someone—"

But there was no movement outside.

The High-level Superpower bodyguards they brought stood like deaf statues outside on standby.

Fear crept onto their faces as panic surfaced, turning around to flee, only to bounce back against an invisible energy wall.

They desperately gestured for help to their family juniors inside, but they showed no abnormality, their gaze calm and dark.

Ji Ning’s voice carried a chilling playfulness, "Didn’t your old ones tell you that I’m a multi-type High-level Superpower user?"

They clung to the energy wall, warily and fearfully watching her, "What do you intend to do? Killing is illegal. Do you want to be hunted by our forces for the rest of your life?"

But Ji Ning remained seated, her tone slightly amused, "Your forces?"

The speaking man nodded reflexively, only to witness the young woman before him slam the table in anger, "Like hell your forces are worthy of negotiating with me! When I set the rules, your oldies weren’t even reincarnated! Dare to threaten me with a replacement? Believe it or not, if I disable you now, your old ones wouldn’t dare let out a peep?"
