Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui was indeed sitting inside the armored command vehicle that the butler had described.

At that moment, he was fully armed, wearing a suit of the custom-made 'Wisdom Dragon' Type 7 exoskeleton armor, with a pair of pistols hanging at his waist and a pair of twin blades placed on the seat beside him.

The reason for choosing 'Wisdom Dragon' for Thunder was to differentiate from Lin Rui's own 'Emperor' type exoskeleton armor.

'Wisdom Dragon' was a brand of exoskeleton armor currently superior to 'Emperor', more widespread among the military and society, and held a higher brand reputation.

Although 'Wisdom Dragon' was very popular among the middle class for its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and intelligence, it was slightly inferior to 'Emperor' in terms of customization.

The high-end battle armor from 'Wisdom Dragon' didn't sell as well as 'Emperor', not because of inferior firepower, but because it wasn't as comfortable and the design wasn't as noteworthy; unlike 'Emperor', which specifically targeted the wealthy class and came up with various patterns for both the interior and exterior of the exoskeleton armor.

His twin pistols and blades had also been modified and enhanced by a famous mechanic from within the Security Bureau, all at a 7SSS grade.

Currently, the Federation's top mechanics either ran businesses or controlled their own powers, so modifying his Type 7 firearms and blades to a SSS grade was the limit.

Lin Rui's own nano-subdermal armor and Nano Assistance Combat Device had also been enhanced, they were 'War God' 7SSS+ and 'Heavenly Harness' 7SSS+, in short, he was armed to the teeth!

The most crucial part was the artificial Outer Elixir embedded inside his body and combined with the back armor.

It wasn't something he had bought himself but a Divine Artifact he had exchanged for with the special grade merit he received from killing Ling Huan and for the Demon Suppression Forest intelligence—a 7SSS+ grade Outer Elixir 'Kui Dragon.'

This was a product developed by the Federation Science Academy, primarily of the Thunder Element and compatible with Light Fire.

What truly made 'Kui Dragon' remarkable wasn't just its SSS+ rating; as an artificial Outer Elixir of Type 7, it possessed all the abilities of a Golden Core belonging to a Divine Skills-level Sixth Realm Martial Cultivator and could even simulate all abilities of a Dragon Transformation Martial Practitioner of the Sixth Realm—such as sensing ability, Divine Thought intensity, strength, and speed—enhancing every aspect!

This meant that Lin Rui, with the help of this artificial Golden Core, could elevate his combat strength to the peak of the Sixth Realm, disguising himself as an expert of Dragon Transformation level.

Besides, the 'Kui Dragon' possessed an extremely powerful ability! He could teleport to a pre-determined location within three thousand kilometers.

Its effect was almost the same as that of the Transmission Talisman Plate developed by the Federation Science Academy, except the distance was only three thousand kilometers.

It was said this function could be used repeatedly, but each use would require about ten days for recharging.

With this thing, the number of people with the capability to kill him in Ninth Base City could be counted on one hand.

Lin Rui, wearing the 'Wisdom Dragon' Type 7, felt that the armor wasn't as harsh on the inside as others had said, and it was actually quite fluid, certainly not affecting the integration with the machine—of course, it wouldn't be as comfortable as the 'Emperor.'

As he moved his hands and feet, getting accustomed to the armor, he watched the situation in front of the Li Family's main gate through the sighting equipment of a Type 7 Dragon Slayer combat robot.

At the same time, he was on the phone with a Congressman.

She was a dignified middle-aged woman named Han Keran, one of the thirteen Congressmen of the Ninth Base City.

"Thunder Admiral, you're going to search the residence of a district council deputy chair based on information of unknown origin? Do you realize what kind of consequences this could have? Mr. Li Zhaokang is an important figure in our party; by doing this, you are seriously affecting our party's election chances, you are interfering with the election and democracy. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation right now, Thunder Admiral, I will immediately report you to the Election Fairness Committee!"

"Mr. Li Zhaokang is a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist; his foundation sponsors two thousand students every year, and he has a great reputation in Area D of Ninth Base City; he is definitely not the drug lord and gang leader you speak of! In fact, if you don't find anything, not only will our party express the most serious protest against your Security Bureau for this wrongful accusation, but we will also sue for the economic and political damages caused, which you won't be able to afford!"

Lin Rui picked up a bottle of juice passed to him by Xue Lingxue and, with a lazy demeanor, sipped it through a straw as he continued to watch the video feed in front of him, listening to the female Congressman's angry tirade.

He wondered if killing this woman would make it easier for Fang Ranran to be elected.

In Ninth Base City, out of a total of thirteen Congressmen, only four were women; this fact might endear Fang Ranran to some female voters.

Han Keran noticed Lin Rui's nonchalance.

Although his mask concealed his expression, even from a glance at his eyes and movements, it was evident that he didn't care at all.

This made her even angrier, her facial muscles almost twisted as she spat, "Thunder! Don't think that just because you have the Second General of the Security Bureau and Huo Bangguo protecting you, you can do whatever you want. Just wait to be dismissed!"

She ended the call right after saying this.

At the same time, Lin Rui had also received several other calls for help, all from political figures he had met at the annual meeting of the Civilian Party.

Lin Rui scratched his head in annoyance and glanced at the video image before him.

He had already ordered Wang Tianwu and Fei Yunlai, these two old sixes, to take action an hour ago, yet there was still no movement.

Lin Rui, based on the effects of his drug, analyzed that the latest would be this time period for the outbreak.

Once the fighting started, those annoying politicians should become quiet.

Just then, he received a message from Huo Bangguo.

Huo Bangguo: The whip for the Civilian Party branch, along with several key members of the Social Party, just pressured the judge to revoke the search warrant for the Li Family. I pushed back.

Huo Bangguo: Do you have everything under control, Thunder? Li Zhaokang has packaged himself pretty well over the years. If you can't get enough evidence, the pressure will be huge.

Lin Rui was about to speak when he saw in the video that several of Li Zhaokang's security guards and members of the Loyalty Gang had opened fire on Zhang Long and his group.

This happened when Zhang Long and his team, holding the investigation warrant, were preparing to forcibly enter the door, triggering the other side's retaliation.

Fortunately, Zhang Long and his team heeded advice and not only wore exoskeleton armor but also added bulletproof external modules. Otherwise, several of them would have died then and there.

With the sound of gunfire at the front gate, the entire villa seemed to boil over like a pot of porridge.

The corners of Lin Rui's lips instantly curved upward slightly.

Thunder: Mayor, Li Zhaokang's subordinates have fired upon us, violently resisting our search warrant.

As he replied, he passed the half-drunk juice to Xue Lingxue.

"Xiaoxue, keep this for me. I'll finish it when I get back."

Lin Rui picked up the twin blades that were on the seat next to him and slipped them into his back before kicking open the door of the armored vehicle and leaping down.

The corners of his lips, hidden behind his mask, had reached their peak, his eyes showing an excited, bloodthirsty grin.

It was a pity the occasion wasn't right, for if Lin Rui could sing nursery rhymes, his mood would certainly be many times more cheerful than it was now.

Sitting in the city hall office, Huo Bangguo was momentarily stunned upon seeing 'Thunder's' reply. It was completely unexpected.

Li Zhaokang actually let his subordinates fire on the Security Bureau and the Armed Police Force?

Had the old man gone mad? Did Li Zhaokang truly have something in his home?

Huo Bangguo couldn't believe it and immediately used his authority to pull up the video feed. He saw that Li Zhaokang's mansion was indeed in the midst of fierce exchange of fire, with both sides using a large number of light and heavy weapons to strafe each other.

Meanwhile, inside the villa, Li Zhaokang watched his subordinates engage in a fierce battle around him, as well as the Security Bureau agents and Armed Police Force's assault team who, under cover of gunfire, forcibly entered. He was utterly bewildered.

What was going on? What had gotten into his subordinates? Why were they opening fire?

Had they lost their minds? They actually dared to arm themselves against the Security Bureau and Armed Police Force?

Moreover, there was nothing incriminating in his home; letting the Security Bureau's people check freely wouldn't be a problem; there was no need to resist.

But the reckless behavior of these people might just put him to death!
