Chapter 234: 230 This Is TPC—The Director Who Should Leave Is You

Unfortunately, this "fraudulent claim" ultimately failed to draw out Max.

Having abandoned all illusions, Qi Ming joined Senior Ji Shi Zhun in sealing the Sran alien, while Aizumi Makoto unleashed the Gao Shengjian to utterly eradicate the Sran alien.

"Good, let's end this!" After landing the final blow, Aizumi Makoto felt he had somewhat salvaged his dignity.

Qi Ming gestured, and a blue speck of light entered the Ultraman Arbitrary Key.

【Access/Convert】.

After selecting Access, the silhouette of the Sran alien appeared on the dial.

Sran alien.

Integration: 60%,

Rank: B-class.

The main control interface also changed.

Star Ci: 7.

Fusion: 16/20.

"Team Member Qi Ming, there's still one naturally evil Atlantian left—I kept him alive for you," said Aizumi Makoto.

"Naturally evil…?" Qi Ming remembered that in the original Ultraman Leo series, Feng Yuan had also said the Atlantians were inherently evil and cruel, so he didn't believe Uchida could survive such a horrific place.

Arriving at the deserted island, the three saw the Atlantian reduced to a limbless torso—but felt no sympathy.

This was the fate an invader deserved.

Qi Ming said directly: "Give me your planet's cosmic coordinates. I'll send you to reunite with your people."

The Atlantian rejoiced and readily gave the coordinates.

He thought: No wonder the noble, holy Ultraman warriors have such lofty ideals—they understand giving others a chance to reform.

But then again… true good men are always too soft to kill a true evil like me.

Once I return home and recover, I'll lead my people in a second invasion of Earth to wash away today's humiliation!

After obtaining the coordinates, Qi Ming nodded and said to Senior Ji Shi Zhun: "Jun, your energy is the most abundant—you do it."

The Atlantian sensed trouble: "What? You promised me! Are Ultraman warriors not bound by their word?!"

Qi Ming coldly replied: "I'll kill you first, then use the Super Weapon R1 to blow up your planet. Won't you still reunite down there?"

"What?!" The Atlantian's rage surged—he never expected this Ultraman to be so ruthless!

He spat blood in fury, and Senior Ji Shi Zhun gave him a swift end, shredding him with Cross Storm.

Another green light sank into the Ultraman Arbitrary Key, converted into a single Star Ci.

Until the next Star Gathering, there were only about four days left.

——————————

Inside the offshore base, upon learning the monsters had been defeated, people marveled at how lucky they were to have Ultraman as backup, while beginning to analyze patterns.

They noticed that whenever the base erupted in chaos, Qi Ming was never present.

Last time, aliens had feared his superhuman strength and framed him, sending him to prison.

This time, no alien framing was needed—Director Tuchiao You and Counselor Gao Cang had simply driven him away themselves.

The moment he acted, the crisis vanished.

After discussion, everyone agreed: this godlike figure should never leave the base lightly—so everyone could work in peace.

"But he and Director Tuchiao You seem to have an irreconcilable conflict—it feels like only one of them can stay."

"After causing such a massive scandal, does Tuchiao You still have the face to remain director?" "This is TPC—the one who should leave is the director."

When human safety is at stake, no one—not even heaven's own king—is above accountability.

……………………………………

Public opinion outside was the same.

After the rampaging monsters were defeated, people marveled they had survived another day in an increasingly chaotic world, then began their condemnation.

They had dismissed the veteran Victory Team with its illustrious record and replaced them entirely with aliens, who flew the Victory Feiyan-2 to bomb cities.

TPC, as the origin of this unrest, must give an explanation!

Tuchiao You knew his position was dire—he was now consulting Quan Teng He Zhi on how to resolve this unprecedented public relations crisis.

He Zhi considered: "Team Member Qi Ming is the greatest contributor to resolving this incident—and also the 'victim.' If this strongest member of the Victory Team publicly supports you, it will greatly ease public sentiment."

Tuchiao You understood this logic: even if he planned to eliminate Qi Ming, he must first use him as a shield until this storm passed.

He said to Quan Teng: "Quan Counselor, handle Qi Ming for me."

Quan Teng felt deeply moved—last time Tuchiao You had spoken of Qi Ming, he had been determined to expel this unruly troublemaker.

Now he had reversed course entirely, demanding "forgiveness and reconciliation."

But how could he possibly persuade Qi Ming?

Going to Qi Ming and saying, "Director Tuchiao You has forgiven you—please reconcile," might provoke Qi Ming into beating him to death.

Still, the director had given an order—he could only grit his teeth and try, at least to make a show of effort for both superiors and subordinates.

Arriving at the Victory Team command room, the returning members were chatting about the aliens involved in the incident.

They had just expressed deep sympathy for Lei Da and Lei Lei Geer's tragic romance, and were now discussing the plant people.

Kishida: "Strange—how could plant people develop such an advanced civilization without anyone noticing? That's not scientific."

Yamnaka: "They possess intelligence rivaling humans and even built flying saucers—truly unbelievable."

Zhuxing Tuan: "Such incidents may happen again. Humanity must keep striving to meet these challenges."

Qi Ming: "Still, no matter how advanced science becomes, surviving by sucking blood can never be called a high civilization."

Counselor Quan Teng: "Ah, everyone's safe—excellent. Personnel has already restored all your files to the Victory Team. This farce is over."

Hui Mei: "Over? It's only just beginning."

Qi Ming asked Counselor Quan Teng about casualties from the incident.

Quan Teng thought: Why do I feel like I'm reporting to him? He said:

"We just found Counselor Gao Cang's body. In addition, over a dozen others suffered various injuries."

"But none are in life-threatening condition—they're receiving treatment in Medical."

Xitiao Ning: "So only the director's secretary and Counselor Gao Cang were killed?"

Qi Ming smiled broadly: "What a pity. But no matter—it seems Director Tuchiao You will soon join them."

Publicly cursing the director's death was a clear sign of total refusal to reconcile.

Counselor Quan Teng's face showed distress, but inside he rejoiced—he knew Tuchiao You was now completely cornered.

Someone who brought four aliens into the Victory Team deserved to resign. TPC should be managed by younger, more capable hands.

As for death—he probably wouldn't die outright. It wouldn't get that ugly.

But for Tuchiao You, losing power might hurt more than losing life.
