Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 148: Don’t Look Down on Youth!

What happened? Why is the army surrounding the police station

Who knows? But Ive never seen such a large deployment in my life.

Machinegun, artillery, holy hell, what in gods name is happening?

Just walk away, or you might be the spark that ignites the keg.

Feng Citys police department was encircled by an army coming out of nowhere. There was even a chopper dropping right at their doors.

Mo Ziyang, dressed in major attire jumped off before it could land.

Soldiers lined up in haste and stood with their back straight and giving a military salute, Sir, the situation is under complete control!

Mo Ziyang walked with a wide stride into the police department. 

Liu Yuxuan was watching this unfold from among the gathered crowd in mute shock.

Never in her wildest dreams did she think Li Mos plain card would call over such a bigshot.

Major Mo Ziyang!

In front of the prison cell, Luo Zhengyi was ashen and shaking in his boots. Gone was his tough attitude.

Mo Ziyang stormed in barking, Wheres Luo Zhengyi?

H-here!

What is my nephew charged with?

Major Mo, may I be so bold to ask, who is your nephew?

Mo Ziyangs anger towered, kicking a table.

Are you messing with me? Read my lips, Li Mo.

A-ah, Li Mo. H-he

Is he a drug dealer? I heard this was his crime.

N-not at all. Theres no way Luo Zhengyi wiped the sweat off his brow. Never did he conceive it possible Li Mo would be related to the capitals Mo clan, and being quite close too.

Nephew?

Release him, its been a misunderstanding! Luo Zhengyi ordered.

Major Mo, it was just a big misunderstanding.

Li Mo walked out of his cramped cell, to the relief of Mo Ziyang.

Mo Ziyang pointed at Luo Zhengyi, You, get in.

Eh?

What, you dont want to cool off a month inside?

M-major Mo, this had all been just one huge misunderstanding and I express my sincere apology. But going inside the cell is just not proper. Im after all the chief of this police department.

A soldier walked over with a file.

Mo Ziyang opened it then threw it at Luo Zhengyi, This here is from your father in law, relieving you of your duty.

Luo Zhengyi shuddered.

The Mo clan wielded military power, and military power meant the power of speech. Luo Zhengyi was but a mere chief of police. There was no comparison between the two.

Embezzlement, taking bribes, having a mistress, abuse of authority, involved in debased businesses, the list goes on. I have you checked on my way here, and what did I find? No less than thirty accounts of authority abuse. Luo Zhengyi, do you have anything to say for yourself?

Luo Zhengyis lips moved but no word came out.

He resigned himself and entered the cell lifelessly.

Li Mo was now out among the soldiers in the police station and didnt know what to say.

Uncle, can you not bring the whole army? Wouldnt a simple phone call do?

Of course it would, but I did it to show everyone you are part of the Mo clan. They mess with you, they mess with all of us. This is only setting an example.

Mo Ziyang scratched his head, I have my hands full with military work since the Middle East is once again in turmoil. Your grandfather wants to send me in a few days. What if something happens to you when Im away?

In that case, I will just use my own way to deal with anything that comes up.

Stop right there!

Luo Zhengyis son walked over ashen.

Mo Ziyang, you better get it straight. You disgraced my father and I wont forgive you!

Remember my name, Luo Ying. The man who one day will take your life.

Mo Ziyang was out of it for a second then slapped him.

Damn bastard, I heard youre the one who almost stabbed my nephew today. I chose to forgo it, but instead of standing at the side you dare come to call me out? Are you tired of living?

Luo Yings face swelled but didnt cower, meeting Mo Ziyangs fierce gaze.

Mo Ziyang, you have power and status, but remember this. Change is the only constant. Dont look down on youth!

Mo Ziyang hoised Luo Ying by the neck and dished out slaps galore, not forgetting to drive every hit with curses, Here, Im looking down on you, bullying you. What are you gonna do about it? My anger was mostly gone learning nephew was unharmed but look at you with all that swag and backbone. What change? Youll still be the same garbage fifty years from now!

Mo Ziyang released him and Luo Ying fell like a sack of potatoes, but the fire in his eyes never wavered.

Having vented, Mo Ziyang asked Li Mo, Why not come with me to the capital? Your grandfather misses you dearly.

I will, but later.

Mo Ziyang nodded and left in the chopper.

The army around the station withdrew and peace and order were restored in half an hour.

Li Mo left the station. He hailed a cab home since he had something important to do.

A bruised Luo Ying stood outside the cell with clenched fists.

Wang Dongs brow furrowed in deep thought.

Luo Ying roared, Uncle Wang, I will definitely pay him back for today!

Wang Dong patted his shoulder and walked to the cells door, Brother Luo, you and I both know the power of the Mo clan. They left you with a way out on account of your father in law and brother having your back. But that doesnt apply to me. The Wang clan and Mo clan arent cordial. Im sure you know better than me what will be the outcome if we provoke them.

Luo Zhengyi sighed.

Luo Ying was stunned, Uncle Wang, what are you trying to say?

Nothing, only that I cant help your father out of the cell.

Uncle Wang, theres no need to help us. Our troubles will be dealt with by me!

Wang Dong laughed, Good, thats the spirit. I wasnt wrong about you. Yanyan made the right choice!

Luo Ying promised, I will definitely make Li Mo and the Mo clan pay for what theyve done!

Luo Zhengyi said, Yingying, let it go. We havent lost anything in this, just my office. Even that isnt important. With your grandfathers help, we will soon move to the capital. Any office there is much higher in status than here. Theres no need to provoke the Mo clan further. Let us take this lesson and learn from it.

No, this is far from over. I have never been so miserable in all my life. Luo Ying, if you dont give me vindication, I wont marry you!

Wang Yanyan stomped over in rage.

Luo Ying clenched his fists, Yanyan, I, Luo Ying, vow to get revenge!
