King of Assassins-Chapter 690 - 515 Welcome_4

In order to appease Gao Xuan's anger, offering someone's head is the most effective and least costly option.

Liu Po realized he was in real danger, and he even harbored thoughts of escaping.

But in the heavily guarded Changle Palace, a mere Silver like him had no way to escape.

Liu Po turned to the Celestial Net once more, and he keenly noticed that news about Gao Xuan had nearly disappeared.

Especially those messages depicting Gao Xuan in a negative light; they were all gone. Only the women from the White Alliance were still tirelessly crying out for justice everywhere.

Liu Po was a little impressed by the resilience of the White Alliance people. After months of tossing around, they didn't seem to grow tired.

On the contrary, their fighting spirit grew even stronger. They were practically a bunch of lunatics.

The White Alliance wasn't much to worry about; the key was the ambiguous attitude of the officials. Claims like the greatest demon in history, the reincarnation of the Evil God—all this critical and key information had disappeared. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

In fact, no one was publicly discussing Gao Xuan anymore. It was as if Gao Xuan had vanished.

This abnormal attitude made Liu Po feel even more uneasy.

It was clear that the various Noble Families had reached a tacit understanding. They were no longer vilifying Gao Xuan. This was already a very obvious olive branch.

Just after they finished criticizing Gao Xuan, it wouldn't be good to immediately turn around and praise him. However, based on this trend, soon there would be media stepping up to help rehabilitate Gao Xuan's reputation.

Then, the Celestial punishment warrant from the Alliance would be canceled.

Then, the public would discover that Gao Xuan was actually a hero, a great hero of the Human Race. Gao Xuan defended the dignity of the Human Race and destroyed the Evil God that plagued humanity...

It turned out everyone had misunderstood this greatest hero of the Human Race!

Liu Po had already thought of the title for the redemption article in Gao Xuan's favor. If possible, he could even help Gao Xuan write the article.

He could narrate in the capacity of Gao Xuan's friend, illustrating how approachable Gao Xuan is, how fond of learning he is, how he likes helping the elderly and children, and how he respects teachers and cherishes the Tao...

While Liu Po was lost in his wild thoughts, the door was pushed open, and Liu Zhong walked in lightly.

Looking at Liu Zhong, Liu Po saw the old man's face was inscrutably neutral, and his heart sank.

"Elder Liu, do you have some business?" He stood up, asking with a bit of unease.

"Gao Xuan sent an email, saying he is coming to Chang'an Star Realm in ten days to visit the Glory Company Headquarters," Liu Zhong said with a complex expression.

"Huh?"

Liu Po was a bit confused, "What does Gao Xuan want to do?"

Liu Zhong shook his head, "No matter what he wants, we can only try to meet his demands now."

At this stage, the Liu Family no longer had the courage to refuse Gao Xuan.

Whether Gao Xuan wanted to visit or do something else, the Liu Family could only open its doors and welcome him.

The higher-ups of the Liu Family pretty much knew that closing the doors wouldn't be of any use. Gao Xuan would come and go as he pleases.

For such a major issue, the Liu Family certainly had to seek allies. Yet, the Yuan Family and Qin Family didn't care at all.

As for other Noble Families, even fewer were paying attention to the Liu Family's plea for help.

In theory, all the Golden Families should unite to eliminate Gao Xuan. The problem is, who's willing to take the lead?

The Qin Family and Yuan Family kept silent, so who would help the Liu Family deal with issues?

The Liu Family was helpless and had to pay a tremendous price to invite Song Town over.

At least Song Town had some acquaintance with Gao Xuan. At least with him around, if something happens, there would be someone to mediate.

However, for the welcoming of Gao Xuan, Liu Po seemed a bit unnecessary.

The minor scheming Liu Po was up to was insignificant. Gao Xuan probably didn't even take Liu Po seriously.

Nevertheless, the Liu Family couldn't afford to harbor lucky thoughts.

Liu Zhong sternly said to Liu Po, "Child, remember, in your next life, speak less."

Liu Po's face turned pale, "You really intend to kill me."

"Paying for your mistakes is not unjust."

As Liu Zhong spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Po's forehead, and with a burst of Finger Force, Liu Po's life force was instantly terminated.

Liu Po collapsed to the ground, still showing traces of anger and unwillingness in his eyes.

After a brief silence, Liu Zhong sighed and talked to himself, "For the Liu Family, this was a helpless action too. Don't be angry, maybe I'll come down to accompany you in a few days."

Upon finishing speaking, Liu Zhong gestured with his hand, "Take him away and place him properly."

A few staff members from outside came in, tidied up Liu Po's body, and placed it in a sealed box.

Although Liu Po was a genius, he was insignificant in the context of the entire Liu Family.

Since Gao Xuan intended to come to the Chang'an Star Realm, Liu Po was simply unnecessary.

With the impending visit from Gao Xuan, everyone in the Liu Family got busy. The entire Chang'an Star Realm mobilized.

There was no choice; if the Liu Family didn't want to fall out and resort to violence, all they could do was humble themselves.

The Glory Company, controlled by the Liu Family, took the lead, posting long articles in forums packed with players to voice grievances for Gao Xuan.

The White Alliance often did such things, so there wasn't anything surprising. Regularly, this long post was written with a lot of detail though.

Regarding matters relating to Gao Xuan, numerous details were described. Many insides regarding the Black Banner Alliance affair were also narrated from the perspective of eyewitnesses.

To sum it up succinctly, Gao Xuan was a human hero, and all the bad reputations were just slanders against him.

This long post quickly was pinned and featured on top, becoming the hottest post on the Glory Game forum.

Glory Game had hundreds of sub-forums and tens of thousands of discussion sections. Nonetheless, this post quickly topped all sections across the entire network, sparking countless replies.

Soon after, many important official media outlets reposted the thread.

This further fueled a heated debate on the Celestial Net, with some people trying to clear Gao Xuan's name, while others continued to curse him, causing a huge uproar between the two sides.

Different from previous times, this time although there weren't many supporting Gao Xuan, their words were logical and well-reasoned, making them very convincing.

The most crucial point is that the Alliance President's Mansion announced within twenty-four hours to temporarily revoke the Celestial punishment arrest warrant for Gao Xuan.

The reason being that there were many doubts about the case, necessitating further investigation.

To this end, both the Minister of the Alliance Law Enforcement Department and the Minister of the General Supervision Department held press conferences, apologized for their working mistakes, and resigned on the spot.

This incident had such a massive impact. Even ordinary folks could tell that this was the government admitting fault.

After two days, the Alliance President even released a statement acknowledging that issuing a warrant for Gao Xuan was a colossal mistake...

With the continuous official statements, public opinion immediately turned.

Overnight, Gao Xuan transformed from the greatest demon in history into the greatest hero of the Human Race!

Even though the public had gotten used to all sorts of reversals, this reversal still twisted many minds.

The vast majority of people felt bewildered. After all, it was just days ago when various media were loudly chastising Gao Xuan, and now they began singing his praises collectively.

This reversal was so abrupt, yet so determined. It even seemed somewhat farcical.

However, the rational thinkers remained a minority. With the shift in public opinion, ordinary folks, though uncomfortable at first, gradually came to accept it through various media's in-depth interpretations and explanations.

It turned out we were wrong, Gao Xuan was the real hero. They had mistaken him...

Of course, the happiest ones were the White Alliance. They left messages everywhere boasting, claiming they were right, that brother was the best!

The excited celebrating by the White Alliance wasn't of much concern to many anymore. Anyway, Gao Xuan was the most formidable now, whatever said was correct.

Amidst such public opinion propaganda, Gao Xuan arrived at Chang'an, the main planet of the Chang'an Star Realm, aboard his battleship.

Eighteen escort ships greeted Gao Xuan's battleship with the highest rituals, guiding it to land at Chang'an Taiye Military Airfield.

As Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang emerged from the special passage, they saw the patriarch of the Liu Family, Liu Feng, standing there waiting for them. Behind Liu Feng was a group of well-dressed Liu Family elites.

Liu Feng took the initiative to greet Gao Xuan, he bowed deeply, wearing an impeccably polite smile on his face: "Mr. Gao, welcome to Chang'an..."
