041. Gravity x100, Even God Kneels

Li Aozi's intel had been thoroughly investigated.

Arrogant, self-centered, stubborn, a liar, ruthless, cold-blooded—this was Law III's evaluation of him.

Benjesson talked tough, but deep down, he knew that Li Aozi's behavior wasn't simply reckless arrogance.

From the moment he set fire to the bank, it was clear he was prepared to escape to the outside world. He didn't care about his family, which was understandable—whoever ended up with a family like his probably did something unforgivable in their past life.

Benjesson cautiously held his blade. Before being a 【Warrior】, he was primarily a ruthless agent. His combat style was never about direct confrontation—the real trump card lay with the 【Biochemist】 Zuo Jiajun behind him.

Facing Li Aozi head-on was a bit of a fool's errand.

Li Aozi was someone who had infiltrated the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization by self-harm, awakened Omega Energy through others' methods, and defeated Biogen Kong. He might not be the smartest, but his action capability and cunning were top-notch.

Benjesson didn't believe that Li Aozi was simply streaming for fun. With the palace surrounded, if they really wanted to attack, Sullute Palace would fall sooner or later.

Not to mention, the Biogen Kong that Li Aozi defeated could easily dismantle the palace, and his combat prowess displayed on the streets earlier was proof enough that he had the ability.

So, why was Li Aozi holding back, streaming while eating and drinking on the battlefield?

Benjesson's mind raced, quickly arriving at a possibility:

'He's trying to distract us. There's probably an assassin heading for Grand Duke Gamos right now.'

As he and Zuo Jiajun entered the garden, Li Aozi also leisurely walked in, his carefree demeanor only reinforcing Benjesson's belief.

'Li Aozi is stalling for time!'

The implanted communication device instantly relayed the information to the others. The two Law III agents inside the palace hesitated but quickly understood their captain's intention. They immediately began searching for infiltrators within the palace.

Good, just like that.

Benjesson carefully concealed his emotions, dragging his blade along the ground. Since Li Aozi wanted to buy time, he'd let him.

"That's all for today's stream, folks. See you next time—hopefully, we'll see something other than war."

Li Aozi ended the livestream, his gaze sweeping the area, estimating that the time was almost right.

There was still no word from Alexia. While he understood that maintaining radio silence might prevent detection, Li Aozi was worried about unexpected situations and decided to get involved personally.

Conveniently, he was full and his Omega Energy was continuously converting.

Benjesson estimated the distance between him and Li Aozi, and suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

'Zuo Jiajun, deploy the toxic smoke!'

Bang—bang—!

Two biochemical toxin grenades were launched, exploding mid-air, spreading a yellow-green toxic fog across the entire field of view, effectively blocking Li Aozi's escape route.

The yellow-green fog obstructed Li Aozi's vision. He slowly raised his hand, parting the mist with gravity, holding his breath to avoid inhaling the toxins.
