King of Assassins-Chapter 650 - 497 War God’s Whip

Gao Xuan spoke with a tone of pity, yet such an attitude was even more provocative than disdain.

Disdain only indicates that the other party detests you.

Pity, however, always comes from a superior position. Only when one can look down on the other does one feel pity.

Rowe was the general manager of the Divine Shield Company. Divine Shield was a top-tier arms company in the Alliance, with branches spread across the Alliance.

In terms of power and influence, Rowe was actually above Qin Xuan. He had long been promoted to the Middle-tier Gold. In terms of combat capability, he was no less than Qin Xuan.

When facing Song Town, Rowe was neither arrogant nor servile. His identity, status, and abilities were strong enough.

Daring to meet Gao Xuan showed he was confident. At the very least, he wouldn't be afraid of Gao Xuan.

Rowe was very angry, but he was also clear-headed. Gao Xuan provoking him like this was surely because he had great faith in Yun Qingshang.

But he didn't believe Yun Qingshang had any exceptional skills! He wasn't afraid of Gao Xuan at all.

Did he really think that killing a Black Banner King made him invincible? Far from it!

The Golden Family's strength lay in thousands of years of accumulation, deep foundations.

Rowe was polite to Gao Xuan not because he feared him, but because he feared causing immense destruction to the City of Victory.

This was a core area, with millions of tourists alone. There were tens of millions of related professionals and residents living here.

With Gao Xuan's current combat power, once a fight broke out, the entire City of Victory could be destroyed.

At that time, not only would there be countless deaths and injuries, but the reputation of the Domain of the Gods would be severely damaged, harming the prestige of the Augustus faction.

The main control Light Computer of the City of Victory noticed abnormal activity from Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang, and did endless data comparisons.

Ultimately, it determined that the identities of these two people were highly suspicious. Even if they had fake identities, these identities could not withstand repeated verification.

The Light Computer could not calculate Gao Xuan's identity and immediately issued an advanced alert.

The Golden Powerhouses of the Augustus faction received the alert and immediately conducted multiple verifications on Gao Xuan.

Several Golden Powerhouses observed repeatedly, and Rowe recognized Gao Xuan. After all, he had seen Gao Xuan before.

Although the video footage was distorted by Spiritual Power, Gao Xuan's unique aura was unmistakable.

Upon recognizing the other person as Gao Xuan, the Augustus faction immediately issued the highest-level alert.

All Golden Powerhouses nearby were to return immediately.

This was Gao Xuan, who single-handedly annihilated the Black Banner Alliance, causing billions of casualties.

Gao Xuan suddenly showed up, and it was certainly not for anything good. The issue was that everyone dared not act rashly.

The price of taking action on the Eternal Star was too high for any ruler to bear.

No one would open a battlefield in their own home. How to deal with Gao Xuan became a problem.

Daring to come to the City of Victory, brazenly roaming the streets without changing his identity or appearance.

He appeared to be completely unrestrained.

The Augustus faction, due to Tifeng, was particularly disgusted with Gao Xuan. However, they couldn't afford to have a grand fight in their own backyard.

The destructive power of the Golden Powerhouses was terrifying.

Rowe showed up first, intending to have a chat with Gao Xuan. If talks failed, they would arrange a fight outside.

In just a few words, Rowe was flushed with anger by Gao Xuan, insisting on fighting Yun Qingshang.

The numerous Golden Powerhouses observing the situation in the background frowned. Rowe was also a Middle-tier Gold Powerhouse, yet he was so impulsive.

Ron said, "We can't have a fight like this. It's utterly absurd."

Ron was the current High Priest of the Augustus faction, the highest administrator.

Augustus wasn't a surname, but an honorary title.

The bloodline of the Augustus legacy had three branches, and they were very closely related by blood, yet their surnames were entirely different.

Together, these three families were referred to as the Augustus faction.

Ron was also a Middle-tier Gold Powerhouse; his character was conservative. During his two centuries of governance, the Augustus family hadn't seen much development.

However, his business acumen was excellent, expanding the business tremendously. He achieved great success in commerce.

In this era, making money was the greatest success.

Thus, Ron's position was very secure.

Ron was a very old-school Golden Powerhouse; he never concerned himself with the lower class. His focus was on families of the same level.

Golden Powerhouses like Gao Xuan, who rose from the lower class, were exactly the kind of people Ron despised.

Ron believed that all people from the lower class didn't understand order, wouldn't respect order.

For this world, order was paramount. Even evil required order.

Having killed Tifeng, Qin Ken, and Qin Xuan, Gao Xuan had clearly positioned himself as an adversary of the Noble Families.

In dealing with Gao Xuan, the Augustus faction was particularly enthusiastic, putting in considerable effort.

Of course, there were other unspeakable reasons behind this. They simply hadn't expected Gao Xuan to dare come to the Eternal Star.

Looking at the situation, it was clear he came to settle scores.

The Augustus faction was furious. Normally, the three families intrigued against one another, but in this matter, they were rarely united.

Ron said to Robin, "Your Excellency, please step in to suppress Gao Xuan. It's best to clarify matters. Under no circumstances should there be a fight in the City of Victory."

Robin was 1,100 years old, and one of the three Golden Upper-tier Powerhouses of the Augustus faction.

The other two Golden Upper-tier Powerhouses were not present, only Robin could restrain Gao Xuan.

With a frail and old appearance, Robin's right eye was blind. He wore a black eyepatch and held a wooden staff. He looked as if he was on the brink of death.
