Starting Cultivation in Wasteland

Chapter 165: Good and Bad News; Jamaari Draws His Blade (Part 4)


"Many people have double or even multiple identities," Jamaari was keenly aware of this, and even felt a bit helpless.

"This issue is really not something I, a mere inspector, can solve. Besides the Thirty-Six Noble Families, there's the Gorge!"

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and agreed, "So, do you have any suspects?"

Jamaari did have suspects, but... he didn't dare to speak up.

In recent days, he investigated all possible suspects thoroughly because he had to take this matter seriously.

Besides involving Terry, the only one who understood the cultivation method of electromagnetic attributes, it also involved Jian Lei, who could alter the cultivation landscape!

If either of these situations occurred, he would have to pursue them relentlessly, let alone both?

Then, someone riding a flying device caught his attention; it was an ultimate warrior under the Douglas Clan.

Ultimate warriors often used false identities when going to the Gathering Area below.

This situation was quite normal; Central City did not encourage ultimate warriors to casually go to the Gathering Area—they wouldn't care if they got killed there.

But never going there was impossible, so various false identities emerged.

Such a situation really wasn't something that the Inspection Bureau could prevent—even if they could stop an ultimate warrior, could they stop someone from the Gorge?

Old habits die hard, that's what this situation illustrates.

Bentley could freely travel to and from Central City, exploiting this loophole.

Jamaari appeared clumsy, but he was truly shrewd; otherwise, how could he become an inspector?

Why was an ultimate warrior from the Douglas Clan appearing in the Celestial District, under an alias?

He almost instantly thought of the answer, feeling a chill in his heart.

However, it was his own operational mistake; how could he dare to tell Jian Lei?

Yet, he swore silently... the Douglas Clan, huh? Such audacity, let's see how this unfolds.

Facing Jian Lei's inquiry, he could only express, "You're aware of how much I value Terry, I will get to the bottom of this."

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and then asked, "From my two companions... was there any wealth left on the scene?"

Jamaari hesitated for a moment before answering, "Yes, and I indeed had to kill some people for it."

That night, after the large contingent of City Guard arrived, apart from searching for clues, they were scouring for wealth.

They handed over some guns, ammunition, food, and whatnot as an explanation to Houjing City.

But other items such as Energy Blocks, Gold, Silver Notes, and silver coins were privately divided up.

When Jamaari arrived with people from the Earth Room, those involved didn't dare to admit they had secretly kept wealth.

However, many witnessed these events; when some people benefited more, naturally others felt resentful.

Jamaari, who rose from a small soldier to inspector and had handled cases for years, was well aware of the underlying dynamics.

He applied intense pressure on the City Guard, even threatening that anyone found dishonest would face dire consequences.

Under such circumstances, finally, those who received less couldn't bear the pressure and secretly confessed, while actively reporting others.

What happened afterward needs no explanation; Jamaari indeed killed quite a few people and confiscated family properties.

Eventually, the investigation reached a high-level figure in Houjing, who had accepted a B-level Crystal from the City Guard.

The high-level official was executed as well, along with the entire family, fully displaying the cold and ruthless bloodiness of the Central City Inspection Bureau.

As a result, many other high-level figures were also held accountable and punished.

His actions were so severe that complaints reached Central City, but there were no grievances from Houjing City, only pleas for the Security Team to be sent instead.

Jamaari explained to Jian Lei for a long time, thinking that if the Douglas family's affairs were exposed in the future, the other party might forgive him.

However, what Qu Jianlei was concerned about was not this; he frowned and asked, "How many B-level Crystals were found in total?"
