C11 The Disciplinary Committee

"No wonder you had the guts to snatch that monster; turns out you're versed in Summoning Technique!" Third Bro said, chuckling. He brandished the hammer in his hand and added, "Hand over all your possessions and fork over ten pounds of gold bars, and we'll spare you. If not, you're a dead man."

The rest of the group edged closer to Zhang Ze, glaring at him menacingly.

Zhang Ze surveyed the monsters he had summoned and noted the toll of the recent battle: one Hard Armor Turtle had perished, along with one Poisonous Spider, and two Giant Mosquitos. He was left with two Hard Armor Turtles, one Violent Rabbit, one Poisonous Spider, and one Giant Mosquito.

The fight had cost him half of his summoned creatures.

"So, Summon Technique is your Innate Skill? Interesting indeed, but ultimately futile! No matter how many little monsters you conjure up, they're no match for a true master," Money-making Superman declared.

Mid-sentence, he lunged at a Giant Mosquito and with a Flame Punch, he obliterated it!

Third Bro and the others erupted in cheers.

"Nicely done!"

"These monsters don't stand a chance against our captain."

"You better surrender quickly and save yourself the pain!"

System: "Your Giant Mosquito has been slain by Money-making Superman!"

Upon reading the system alert, Zhang Ze's eyebrows twitched.

"I had no intention of getting involved; I just planned to kill the boss and grab the key. But your arrogance leaves me no choice but to put you in your place," Zhang Ze retorted with a cold smirk.

"Hold on!" someone interjected.

Suddenly, a figure burst through, confronting Money-making Superman and his crew, "I'm a disciplinary officer from the Devil Domain Administration. No fighting allowed here!"

The man was known as Judgement of Heaven, a name that suited his role perfectly.

Zhang Ze had seen him before, blending into the crowd, unremarkable at first glance. He hadn't expected him to be an inspector from the Devil Domain Administration.

"You claim to be a disciplinary officer?" Money-making Superman questioned, his brow furrowed. Disciplinary officers were part of the Administration's elite, tasked with covertly gathering evidence of misconduct among officials. Their rank might not be lofty, but their authority was substantial.

Third Bro whispered, "Captain, if this guy spills the beans about us bribing Division Chief Gao, we're in deep trouble! Maybe we should just off him?" He drew his hand across his throat in a slicing motion.

Judgement of Heaven spoke up, "I've documented every word and action of yours. This is all evidence that I'll be turning over to our leadership. I strongly advise you to cease and desist, and turn yourselves in at the Devil Domain Administration immediately!"

After he spoke, Money-making Superman gave him an icy stare.

"Too bad, there's no turning back for you! Take them out, both of them!" commanded Money-making Superman.

To prevent any further complications, Money-making Superman resolved to silence them for good.

His henchmen advanced toward Judgement of Heaven, who backed up to stand beside Zhang Ze and said firmly, "Don't worry, I've got your back."

Zhang Ze paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face before realizing he no longer needed to act.

"Your Innate Skill is quite useful. I see a bright future for you. Once I've dealt with these thugs, I'll introduce you to my superiors," Judgement of Heaven assured him.

He gave Zhang Ze an approving nod, clearly impressed.

"Let's finish them off!"

Third Bro, leading two others, charged at them while another pair tried to flank Judgement of Heaven and Zhang Ze, aiming for a pincer attack.

"Don't underestimate me!" warned Judgement of Heaven. He brandished a magic staff and unleashed an Ice Ray at one of the assailants.

This was Judgement of Heaven's Level A Innate Skill, capable of freezing a target for 30 seconds while inflicting 100-300 points of damage simultaneously!

The target of the Ice Ray was instantly petrified into an ice statue, suffering 275 points of damage and nearly meeting his demise.

The others hesitated, their expressions wary, not daring to make a move.

"This guy's got magic talent! But don't panic, his Innate Skill has a 60-second cooldown. That's plenty of time for us to take him down," Third Bro reassured his crew.

Judgement of Heaven let out a contemptuous snort and retorted, "Magic's not my only strength—my martial arts are just as formidable."

While speaking, Judgement of Heaven swiftly subdued a man with a few deft moves, plunging him into unconsciousness.

In the Devil Domain, targeting a specific body part means the attacked individual will sustain damage in that exact area. For instance, a strike to critical areas like the heart or eyes inflicts severe damage on the victim. Conversely, hitting vulnerable spots such as joints or arteries can cause the target to fall into a coma or similar incapacitated state.

Judgement of Heaven had just struck his opponent's neck artery, rendering the man comatose for a full 30 seconds!

Once again, Judgement of Heaven floored an assailant. Dusting off his hands, he boasted, "I'm a distinguished graduate of Tongchuan Martial Arts University. Never underestimate me!" While Tongchuan Martial Arts University may not have the renown of Qing University Martial Arts School, it's still a prestigious institution within the top ten of Great Xia Country.

Facing Money-making Superman, Third Bro, and their crew, Judgement of Heaven demanded icily, "My allies are on their way. Will you not yield?"

"Surrender is not an option!" declared Third Bro. Without warning, he unleashed a magical skill on Money-making Superman at his side.

A golden aura enveloped Money-making Superman's feet, bestowing upon him a Buff named Magic Resistance!

This was Third Bro's Level B Innate Skill, capable of nullifying 100% of magic effects on the target for ten seconds.

"Excellent work, Third Bro!" Money-making Superman charged at Judgement of Heaven with incredible velocity. Judgement of Heaven's face tensed as he lifted his Magic Staff, releasing an Ice Ray.

An alert chimed: "You've been struck by the Ice Ray. You will be immobilized for three seconds!"

With Money-making Superman temporarily frozen, Judgement of Heaven urgently called out to Zhang Ze, "Get out of here! He's a tough one to beat!"

Judgement of Heaven had just gotten a taste of Money-making Superman's formidable Innate Skills, which were especially potent in close-quarters combat.

Not even the Level 2 Boss could withstand Money-making Superman's skillful onslaught. Given Judgement of Heaven's current defensive capabilities and Blood Volume, he stood no chance in a direct confrontation.

"I let my guard down! Had I known there were adventurers with Level A talent in this group, I wouldn't have ventured here alone!" Judgement of Heaven lamented, but it was already too late for regrets.

Zhang Ze scanned the surroundings and realized they were completely encircled by Money-making Superman's henchmen. Escape was not an option.

"Die!" Money-making Superman launched his attack as soon as his freezing ability ended, targeting Judgement of Heaven. Despite Judgement of Heaven's formidable body technique, Money-making Superman's innate skill was overwhelming. It didn't take long for Judgement of Heaven to be on the brink of death.

As Money-making Superman prepared to deliver the final strike, a Hard Armor Turtle charged in, deflecting the blow with its shell.

Taken aback, Money-making Superman then noticed a spider web descending over his head!

Watching Money-making Superman flail in the web, Judgement of Heaven realized Zhang Ze had come to his rescue.

Zhang Ze clapped Judgement of Heaven on the shoulder and said, "I'll take it from here."

"You're going to fight him?" Judgement of Heaven shook his head. "No, you can't. His attacks are too powerful, and you're just a beginner. You won't survive them!"

Even though Judgement of Heaven was only a beginner mage, he was significantly stronger than the average adventurer. Yet, he could only endure the Flame Punch a couple of times at most. Zhang Ze, being a novice, stood no chance against Money-making Superman.

Zhang Ze simply smiled and replied, "I'm not going to fight him. They will."

The next moment, two enormous shadows loomed behind Zhang Ze.
