Chapter 264 Jurisdiction
Jeanette Wen's Mecha Guardian, Void Walker, was a peak White Mecha just like the three guests from Military High Command.
It was a beautiful shade of dark purple black, and sported a powerful flight system that was leagues better than a standard white mecha's. However, I could sense that compared to the light mecha, it was inferior.
"Still, with her lockdown skill, she should be able to handle Julie and her mecha easily. In the worst case scenario, if she gets overwhelmed by that cocky bitch, I can just boost sister in law's mecha." I thought to myself.
I had only met Julie for a few seconds, and I already disliked her.
"Fine. Julie, beat up that little girl first before you deal with that punk." The lazy voice rang out once more from the lead mecha.
However, before anybody could even think of anything to respond to that, a strange blue dome appeared around the three Military High Command mechas.
"Chrono Vortex." Bruce Pang said calmly.
All three mechas froze completely within the blue dome.
"You come to my school. You try to illegally take away my students. And you want to beat up my wife. You think, I, Bruce Pang, am a joke of a man?" My big bro said in an ominously flat voice.
"Bruce..." Jeanette Wen said warningly in a voice that probably meant "calm down" in wife-speak.
But my big bro ignored her.
"Bruce. Stand down." A voice rang out from the distance as several mechas scrambled to make their way to our position.
"Demoness Wang?" I glanced at the incoming mecha.
"Demoness Wang? Ha! You already know my mother's nickname huh?" Eliana Wang chuckled lightly from behind me.
"Bruce!!" Demoness Wang's voice shouted once more with greater urgency.
But my big bro ignored her as well.
I could tell that he was beyond pissed.
Jeanette Wen was his hot button, and whoever thought that they could threaten her in front of him, and expected him to just stand by and smile, was either someone who had never heard of Bruce Pang before, or a complete idiot.
And there was absolutely no one in the entire Chinese Federation who had never heard of Bruce Pang before.
He sheathed his greatsword and drew his twin swords.
It was a clear indication that he intended to take his time to do whatever he wanted to do.
Like a specter of death, Chronos entered the blue dome unhindered and moved towards the leader of the three mechas.
"You think the Military High Command has jurisdiction here? Let me show you exactly just how much jurisdiction you have." Bruce Pang said with a little sneer as a tendril of emotion finally crept into his voice.
BAANGGGG!!!!
In a lightning fast move that defied even my ability to follow with my eyes, my big bro attacked the lead tin man with his twin swords. But alas! His armor was far too powerful for Chronos and his twin swords failed to penetrate it.
All they managed to do was to create a slight dent in its armor.
It did not look good.
A dent meant that the armor was malleable. It was built to absorb attacks instead of outright resisting it. It was unlike armor that resisted attacks which would have cracked instead of bent after being attacked by my big bro's twin swords.
Malleable armor provided less protection to shockwaves against the internals of the mecha, but it was able to resist piercing attacks much better.
My big bro would have been better served attacking the tin man with a war hammer instead of twin swords.
But it didn't matter.
My big bro could attack with a little cutter if he wanted to, and he would still get what he wanted that day.
Because I, his little bro who was no less pissed off than him, was there to help him.
There was no bloody way I would let my big bro fail to vent his anger after having his wife threatened so publicly!
I would make damn sure that my big bro smashed those three cocky bastards to pieces!!
I smiled sinisterly and withdrew all my power boost from every single mecha and in a quick move, redirected them all into Chronos.
In addition, I squeezed the red mecha core as much as I could and pushed every single ounce of red energy out of it.
As if understanding my intention, the red mecha core obliged and released another ten percent of its power!
Vooooshhhh!!!!!
Streams of invisible red energy surged into Chronos from every single direction and instantly raised its power from a peak white mecha directly towards the boundary of a golden mecha!
My big bro paused for a moment as if acknowledging my little gift, before unleashing yet another blinding attack with his twin swords.
SLASH! SLASH!!
With extreme ease, his twin swords sliced the lead tin man's arms cleanly off!
"HOLY SHIT!! BRUCE FREAKING PANG!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??" Secretary Wang shouted in panic as she finally reached our position.
Ever the diplomat, Secretary Wang was trying her best to maintain peace and harmony between the various powerful factions of the country's leadership.
But she did not make a single move towards the blue dome.
Within the blue dome, Bruce Pang was god. There was absolutely nothing Secretary Wang could do to save the three fools.
None whatsoever.
But there was one who could.
Secretary Wang whirled around to face Jeanette Wen. However, she shook her head before Secretary Wang could even say anything.
"No." Jeanette Wen said.
"For the Federation, you must!" Secretary Wang said loudly.
"For the Federation, I must not. The Military High Command is too cocky. They need this lesson. Better discipline them now before the war begins, rather than later during war time when we would not have the time and luxury to repair their mechas." Jeanette Wen said calmly.
SLASH!! SLASH!!
Another two simple sword swings, and the tin man's two legs were sliced off.
SLASH!! SLASH!! SLASH!! SLASH!!
Without missing a single beat, Bruce Pang sliced off the four limbs of the light mecha.
However, he left the medium mecha alone. The pilot did not say anything earlier, and Bruce Pang had no beef with him.
Calmly, Bruce Pang took all eight sliced off limbs and walked out of his Chrono Vortex.
He stopped right in front of Jeanette and the Demoness, proceeded to tie the limbs up with some sort of metallic rope and then very casually stretched out his hand to present the bundle to Jeanette Wen.
"Thank you Bruce." Jeanette Wen said very sweetly as she accepted the bundle.
My big bro tilted his head slightly in my direction to indicate that he had received critical help from me.
"Roast pork for both of you tonight." Jeanette Wen announced loudly.
"Hmmmm. Roast pork is good." Bruce Pang nodded before turning around and disengaging his Chrono Vortex with a simple wave of his hand.
Voosh.
"YOU INSOLENT BAS-" Julie in the light mecha started to shout.
But Bruce Pang cut her off with yet another wave of his arm as a mini, single mecha sized Chrono Vortex appeared around her and froze her once more.
"This is the National Mecha Pilot Academy." Bruce Pang said in a flat voice to the tin man leader. "And this is the amount of jurisdiction you have. Go, and get the Black General himself to come apologize to me for what you did. And to pick up this little girl. If not, then you will just have to make do without her."
Any reasonable person would have retreated and reported the incident to the Black General.
But when had the Military High Command been reasonable?
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!! Good! Very good!! The Principal of the National Mecha Pilot Academy, Bruce Pang is intending to rebel against the Federation!! Very well! The Military will mobilize to restore order!" The tin man leader laughed out loud as a beam of orange energy exploded out of his mecha's flight module and shot upwards into the sky.
Booom!!!
The orange energy exploded and painted nearly the entire mountain range with some sort of orange energy!
"F***!! You men are all f***ing idiots!." The Demoness Wang cursed loudly before turning around to fly back to her office as fast as possible.
"Orange energy? What's that?" I turned to ask the other five kids.
But all of them shook their heads and indicated that they too had no idea.
I turned around and continued to observe the drama that was still unfolding before us, hoping that I would quickly get a clue as to what was going on.
"Very good. The Military High Command is rotten to its core. This is a good opportunity to cleanse it. I shall start with you." Bruce Pang waved his hand once more and unleashed his Chrono Vortex upon the other two mechas once more!
But at that moment, the completely limbless leader and the medium mecha suddenly shimmered and disappeared from the positions, causing my big bro's Chrono Vortex to catch nothing within it.
