Chapter 438: Chapter 328 Ink Jade Dragon Wolf_2

“A misunderstanding?” Chen Xing sneered, “Whether there’s a misunderstanding can be discussed slowly after you’ve entered the dungeons of Salamander. We have received a report that your Lin Family is involved in serious tax evasion. So, please come with us for an inspection. If it turns out you indeed have no issues, we shall naturally clear your name.”

As Chen Xing’s words fell, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.

“Young man, speaking requires responsibility. If any Tom, Dick, or Harry could come to our Lin Family and randomly arrest people, then would there still be any rule of law in this world?”

From deep within the Lin Family, an imposing voice carried over, booming in everyone’s ears like thunder.

Before the echo faded, a dark green afterimage suddenly flashed, traversing a hundred yards at an astonishing speed, and instantly appeared in front of the Lin Family’s main gate.

On closer inspection, it was an almost two meters tall and four meters long wolf-like Beast Taming.

Although it was only of medium to small size among many Beast Taming, its presence could overwhelm a significant number of Beast Taming.

This Beast Taming stood proudly at the gate, its dark green mane fluttering in the wind, its oppressive aura nearly tangible. Some Salamander members recognized this Beast Taming as the Lin Family patriarch’s Ink Jade Dragon Wolf, rumored to be of high Transcendence.

Not just in Great Xia, even in the Exotic Region, such strength could definitely be regarded as that of a formidable leader.

Chen Xing grinned without humor, his gaze icy, and slowly said, “Are you implying that you would resist by force?”

The Lin Family patriarch’s eyes narrowed. It seemed like this youngster in front of him was trying to provoke him into making a move?

Being old and experienced, he sensed something was amiss.

At this thought, the Lin Family patriarch suppressed his urge to act.

What a cunning and malicious youngster, daring to come to our Lin Family. There must be masters hidden around, and if I act first, I will be breaking the law. This would complicate things.

The Lin Family patriarch continuously pondered for a strategy, suddenly, a thought struck him.

His eyes lighting up, the patriarch hurriedly asked, “Do you have the authority to enforce the law?”

Right! This youngster has no enforcement authority!

Although Salamander has been established for so long, it’s not clear what functions this department is responsible for, nor is there a specific regulation.

It is merely a special intelligence agency similar to the Jin Ye Guard.

Chen Xing slightly smiled on hearing this, pulled out a gold token from his chest, which bore the engraving “Great Xia Law Enforcement”. He shook the token slightly and softly said, “What is this then?”

Standing behind Chen Xing, Zhao Guangming’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat. This token was just a golden token Chen Xing had printed with a 3D printer right before leaving.

Including many of the special cases engraved on it were randomly found online.

The Lin Family patriarch looked bewildered, the distance was too great, and he could not see clearly.

But it appeared to be a gold token.

Whose token was this?

Could it possibly belong to that person?

The Lin Family patriarch’s brow sweated profusely.

Afterward, Chen Xing brought his hands together, deeply bowed in the direction of Longdu, his expression solemn and grave, and said loudly, “Trusted by the Emperor, I am now the Salamander Deputy Chief Commander. Salamander, the new blood of Great Xia, is tasked with monitoring duties both internally and externally. And matters of taxation touch upon the lifeblood of the national economy, the safety of the realm! For anyone who wishes to evade taxes, Salamander will show no leniency!”

Last night, Chen Xing continuously summarized what should be the main focus of Salamander and which issues should be the primary entry point.

Although Great Xia has both Jin Ye Guard and Salamander, many of their powers overlap.

Yet, there still need to be differing focal points.

Jin Ye Guard primarily tracks spies, cults, and gathers intelligence.

After pondering all night, Chen Xing finally decided to make taxation the entry point! In intelligence, he definitely couldn’t compete with Jin Ye Guard, considering Jin Ye Guard, an organization of several centuries, undoubtedly had an unparalleled intelligence network.

Therefore, he decided to forge a new path, and from now on, Salamander would be Great Xia’s IRS!

For a major family like the Lin Family, their tax affairs were definitely not clean.

So breaking into this was definitely not an issue.

The Lin Family patriarch’s heart tightened. He secretly asked his Beast Taming, “Can you detect anyone hiding nearby?”

“No.” the Ink Jade Dragon Wolf silently shook its head.

The Lin Family patriarch thought to himself that those hidden were indeed well concealed.

The counterargument he had planned was obstructed, and at this moment, the Lin Family patriarch felt a chill in his heart.

If there was only one person coming over, killing him would have been the end of it.

Simply deny everything in the end.

But now that the opponent has brought so many members of Salamander, unless he kills every witness present, clean and clear,

otherwise, if they make the first move, the Lin Family would have no way out.

But if they do not stop them, once the opponent arrests members of their Lin Family, how could they endure being in the heavenly prison?

Easy to enter, hard to leave; once inside, they’re like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.

Not only the Lin Family Elder, but many top officials of the Lin Family were also eyeing the situation intensely.

This is the trouble with facing such a special agency.

The Lin Family Elder seldom intervened; these top officials were the actual controllers of the Lin Family.

They were also in charge of many industries of the Lin Family, and upon hearing Chen Xing’s words, many of the top officials knew they weren’t clean, evading taxes… Damn, could these families be accused of evading taxes? It was merely reasonable tax avoidance!

Though perhaps just a bit excessive.

“Since there is nothing to argue about, come with me to face the inspection,” Chen Xing decisively waved his hand, commanding, “Go, handcuff our Lin Family Elder.”

Upon hearing this, Rage blazed within the Lin Family Elder’s heart. He, who was usually held in high esteem, hadn’t heard anyone dare speak to him like this in a long time. The audacity of this mere child had ignited a volcano of anger within him.

“How dare you! Who dares to lay a hand on me!” the Lin Family Elder bellowed with an unrivaled authority in his voice.

His steed, the Ink Jade Dragon Wolf, sensing its master’s anger, also let out a deafening roar! This roar echoed across the plains, causing onlookers from Salamander to back away several steps.

Those with weaker hearts clutched their chests, eyes wide with horror.

However, Chen Xing was completely unmoved.

His eyes turned cold as he shouted sternly, “Defiance of commands calls for severe punishment!”

As his words fell, the clouds above suddenly parted, revealing a clear sky. Following that, a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, striking down like divine Judgment!

The Ink Jade Dragon Wolf immediately lay prostrate on the ground.

A spear, gleaming with purple Thunder Plasma and entwined with dense electric arcs, pierced through the neck of the Ink Jade Dragon Wolf, nailing it forcibly to the ground.

The Ink Jade Dragon Wolf, lying wretchedly on the ground, let out a raspy whimper. A large amount of blood hadn’t even had the chance to seep from the wound before it was vaporized by the lightning.

Only then did a rumbling thunder, like a drumbeat of the gods, roll forth.

Boom—Boom—Boom—

Above the heavens, a black silhouette parted the clouds, backed by the blazing sun, hovering above Chen Xing’s head.

“Hiss!”

The onlooking Salamander members incredulously watched the floating silhouette above Chen Xing’s head.

Many recognized it as Chen Xing’s Beast Taming.

This Salamander Deputy Chief Commander was really fierce!

Just moments ago, the arrogantly posturing Lin Family Elder fell to the ground alongside the Ink Jade Dragon Wolf, stumbling on the ground before rising.

He stared in disbelief at the Beast Taming above Chen Xing’s head.

“You… you…”

Wasn’t it said that his strongest Beast Taming was just mid-level Transcendence?

But the power displayed now couldn’t possibly be explained by mid-level Transcendence!

His own Ink Jade Dragon Wolf had Transcended the Seventh Layers, and though constrained by the ceiling of Energy Level, trapped at this bottleneck for years, both its combat experience and skill proficiency were unparalleled compared to ordinary Beast Tamings.

Combined with various Secret Treasures collected over the years,

even though only at Energy Level 162, within the category of the Seventh Layers of Transcendence, it was definitely not weak.

To think that it would be grievously wounded in one strike?

In that instant, the Lin Family Elder seemed to age thirty years.
