"Those guys you’re colluding with aren’t partners, they’re merely accomplices. I’m the real partner." Wu Liang said, seemingly emotionless.
In reality, he was also quite shocked inside.
Never thought that the traitor would react ?!
Appearing at the banquet and stopping the impostor Wu Liang, in front of the whole city, was none other than the Puppet Ghost disguised as Wu Ming! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍
However, the ferocious scar on the face was ignored by most of the citizens who didn’t know Wu Liang.
After all, apart from the scar, the form that the Puppet Ghost emerged as was using Wu Liang’s blood, so the appearance was naturally identical.
To others, it looked like two Wu Liangs appeared on camera simultaneously.
"What is this? You prepared such a contingency in advance?" Wu Xiaoyao’s expression turned slightly unsightly.
The banquet was changed from Tuesday to Monday to prevent Wu Liang from preparing in advance, intending to catch him off guard and pin the burden of being a ruthless, violent bandit on him, making him a renegade.
Didn’t expect that besides his strong combat ability enough to directly crush me, he also prepared a doppelgänger!
In fact, neither of them knew this was merely a coincidence.
The Puppet Ghost, returning from finishing its business at the neighboring venue, spotted "Wu Liang" changing into the official uniform and was just about to report back and claim credit when it sensed something was wrong.
This Wu Liang in front of me completely lacks the aura of [Ghost Compendium]!
It immediately realized this was a phony!
Especially when it saw the impostor preparing to act violently with a blade, the Puppet Ghost couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Damn it! I’m the only one who can tarnish the boss’s image! What are you?!"
And so, it attacked...
"Hmph! So what if you have contingencies?"
Wu Xiaoyao didn’t think this was the end, the accomplice pretending to be Wu Liang also had a bunch of supernatural objects!
The doppelgänger downstairs can’t possibly be as powerful as the real Wu Liang, right?
Just as Wu Xiaoyao was thinking, he saw an unbelievable scene on the live news broadcast.
The Puppet Ghost suddenly erupted with dense mist from behind, enveloping the impostor Wu Liang within.
Then, it took out a bizarre and terrifying mask and wore it on its face, walking leisurely into the mist as if the mist, where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, couldn’t obscure its vision.
Within just a minute, strange things started to continuously spew out from the mist.
Upon closer inspection, those were all the supernatural objects his accomplice used for self-defense!
"How is this possible! You taught such important research outcomes to others?"
This immediately reminded Wu Xiaoyao of the doppelgänger wearing the mask and summoning the mist, he naturally understood it as an ability gained from using supernatural objects.
Wu Liang alone not only pushed the research on supernatural objects to this level but was even willing to teach others?
Seeing the incredulous expression on his father’s face, Wu Liang remained silent, appearing as if he acquiesced.
"Ha, full of righteousness and social order, but didn’t you also teach the free usage of supernatural objects? Son, you learned to lie." Wu Xiaoyao sneered at this.
And Wu Liang indeed didn’t know how to respond.
He couldn’t possibly tell his dad that the thing wasn’t a doppelgänger accomplice pretending to be him, nor was what it wore supernatural objects, and even the mist wasn’t Awakened Ability, right?
This was directly three real Fierce Ghosts!
They acted together, and if they couldn’t even defeat ordinary people holding a few supernatural objects, then during the great disaster years ago, the world wouldn’t have suffered so much massacre.
"Why aren’t you talking? Is there any fundamental difference in your actions compared to mine?"
In Wu Xiaoyao’s view, he planned to teach the deep usage methods of supernatural objects to everyone, whereas Wu Liang was only willing to let official Awakened have them.
Isn’t this even worse?
What’s the difference from monopolizing and blocking technology to achieve superiority and gain power over all ordinary people?
Sure enough, even official circles are !
"The fundamental difference is, we take the safety of the people as our responsibility, and won’t use destructive methods to achieve those dirty ends." Wu Liang narrowed his eyes and said this.
He recalled the image of He Zhan.
He’s not sure about others, at least He Zhan, as an official Awakened, truly serves the people wholeheartedly, considering the victims’ safety first in supernatural incidents.
If He Zhan were here now, he’d surely say such things.
"Ridiculous, if you want power and status, just say it, no need to deceive yourself with the reason of worrying before others. Have you been corrupted by interests too?"
Since Wu Xiaoyao had planned until now, how could he change his thinking because of Wu Liang’s few words?
Just looking pitifully at his son who became unfamiliar, he shifted his gaze back to the phone screen.
By now, the impostor Wu Liang at the banquet had been dealt with, the Puppet Ghost stepping on him and grabbing his hair from behind.
This scene made Wu Liang can’t help but twitch his lips.
He had a sense of being pinned down and humiliated, could it be that the traitor wanted to do this a long time ago?
Next second, the Puppet Ghost forcefully yanked off the hair, discovering it was actually a wig with hair like it had Life Force, wildly dancing!
Upon the wig’s removal, the person’s appearance instantly transformed from Wu Liang into a shifty-eyed, hook-nosed man, still trying to struggle under the Puppet Ghost’s suppression.
"Everyone look closely! This is not an official! Just a rat trying to throw dirt!" The Puppet Ghost wasn’t stupid.
Since the other party disguised as the boss, they definitely intended to frame.
He immediately explained to the other cadres lying on the ground at the banquet.
Normally, it would act dumb, tarnishing the boss’s image for fun, but when it came to critical moments, it was clear-headed about whether to lose its mind or not.
"Uh... excuse me, who are you?"
The cadre saved earlier grimaced and asked, although he wasn’t cut, the pain from broken legs was still considerable.
"I am the brother of the person he just pretended to be, named Wu Ming, dispatched by the officials to rescue everyone." The Puppet Ghost said seriously.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop, Wu Xiaoyao confusedly looked up at his son.
What Wu Ming? What brother? What’s this guy talking about at the banquet?
And Wu Liang could only cough awkwardly and say, "Yes, I found myself a brother, Dad, do you think we look alike?"
Alike, meaning both of them looked identical.
