Thump, thump, thump.
Shen Zhuo's leather shoes made a steady sound as they stepped on each concrete step.
Outside the building, vehicles braked suddenly one after another, and a team of inspectors filed in, each fully armed and following him with a solemn expression.
Hostile whispers came from all directions from the evolvers: "The Chief Inspector of Shenhai City..." "What are you doing here? Are you here to suppress us?" "It doesn't seem like it..."
Shen Zhuo turned a deaf ear to everything around him.
Although it was his first time here, he seemed to be familiar with the internal layout of this unfinished building. He did not need any guidance and went straight up the stairs to the top floor and pushed open the door.
Chen Miao's wide noodles were in tears: "Inspector!"
Bai Sheng was touched and surprised: "Inspector!"
"What right do you have to blow up the vehicle of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Embassy, Inspector Shen Zhuo?!" Kingston gritted his teeth and said, "As the Inspector of New York State, I solemnly protest and strongly condemn this behavior. I will report it to the International Inspectorate—"
Shen Zhuo stopped and looked down at the little foreigner:
"The year I taught at Pritchett, I personally failed your class because you were too high on drugs. Shouldn't you call me Professor Shen when we meet now?"
The surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
Everyone's mouth opened in a shocked expression.
"… Professor Shen." Kingston almost forced these three words out of his throat. If he had a tail, even the hair on his tail would have exploded into a ball: "Do I need to remind you that you and I are both inspectors now. I have the right to invite Mr. Bai, a free man, to join the New York Inspection Office—"
Shen Zhuo pointed at Kingston and said succinctly:
"Catch him."
The ferocious inspector didn't need his orders a second time, he immediately pounced on the two white bodyguards and pinned them down. Poor Kingston was almost mad to death on the spot: "Shen Zhuo, what right do you have to arrest me? You are abusing your power! I will sue you at the International Inspectorate! I want-"
Shen Zhuo kept walking, brushing past Bai Sheng who was coming towards him with a very attentive look on his face, and went straight to Kingston who was retreating in fear. He grabbed the boy's thin neck with lightning speed, and slammed him against the windowsill.
In full view of the crowd, the wall cracked and Kingston struggled desperately with his legs hanging in the air: "Let me go, let me go!!"
Bai Sheng, who was not even looked at from behind: "..."
"I am one of the ten permanent inspectors of the United Nations. I have a veto over any matters related to Evolvers in the world, including the appointment and removal of ordinary district inspectors like you."
Shen Zhuo leaned forward slightly, and put his beautiful lips next to Kingston's ear, whispering softly, "If you attack my people again, I will strip you naked and hang you in Times Square, just like when you were high and broke into my office, stripped naked and seduced me, and I hung you outside the window of the teaching building with my own hands."
Kingston: “… … …”
"Shen, Supervisor Shen, no, Professor Shen!" The older bodyguard almost went crazy on the spot, and begged for mercy in a panic: "Our boss knows he is wrong, please show mercy, we will leave Shen-"
Before he could finish his words, Shen Zhuo grabbed Kingston's neck and pulled him out of the windowsill, hanging him in the air.
