"The evidence has all been gathered, Alice, please stay calm."
Lin Tianming's large hand pressed against Alice's shoulder again, subduing her anger after watching the video.
At that moment, the sound of many people approaching could be heard coming from the corridor outside the laboratory.
Hearing the footsteps, Lin Tianming and Alice looked toward the open laboratory door.
Under their watchful eyes, a group of Beiyin Domain officials were quickly heading their way.
Soon, a large number of Beiyin Domain officials flooded into the area.
"Nobody move, we are the Beiyin Domain officials. Everyone stand still and undergo our search!"
Despite the imposing demeanor of the Beiyin Domain officials, Alice was not afraid.
Because she had called these people here, among them were members of her Holy Light Family.
"Tianming, come with me. The person leading the team is my Uncle Luke from the Holy Light Family, he is a good person and will surely handle this matter fairly!"
Alice spoke to Lin Tianming and took his large hand, hurrying towards the Beiyin Domain officials.
"Uncle Luke, it's me!"
As Alice identified herself, the leading Top Awakened, Luke, gestured with his hand for the others to lower their guard against Alice.
"This is the young lady of the Holy Light Family, Alice, who informed us about the Genetic Sect conducting human experiments with Demon Genes; it was her, now search the others!"
Following Luke's order, the other Beiyin Domain officials stopped paying attention to Alice and Lin Tianming and began searching the rest.
Just as Alice was about to talk to Luke, two high-ranking members of the Genetic Sect in the laboratory approached.
"I...we are high-ranking officials from the Genetic Sect's Genetic Technology research area, we are all insiders of the Beiyin Domain officials... you can't arrest us!"
"Yes! We have a special status, we can't be disposed of so casually... we demand to see the other high-ranking members of our Genetic Sect!"
Hearing the statement from the two Genetic Sect high officials, Lin Tianming glanced at Luke, curious to see how he would respond.
Although Alice trusted Luke and affectionately called him uncle, one must always be cautious of others.
Besides, there were three other individuals with the same strong presence as Top Awakened beside Luke.
From Lin Tianming's observation, these three did not fear Luke like the other Beiyin Domain officials who were conducting searches.
If Luke truly intended to help Alice, the attitudes of these three were unknown.
Upon hearing those two Genetic Sect officials trying to leverage connections and escape responsibility, Alice's eyes suddenly flashed with a murderous intent.
Almost at the same moment Alice revealed her intent to kill the two Genetic Sect high officials, as Lin Tianming had anticipated, one of those three individuals immediately exuded the aura of a Top Awakened.
"Miss Alice, before the investigation is concluded and things are clear, I advise you not to kill anyone casually in front of the Heavenly City Alliance people, this isn't a place where your Holy Light Family gets the final word!"
Upon seeing someone dare to pressure Alice, the young mistress of the Holy Light Family, Luke also released his Top Awakened aura, confronting the other head-on.
"What... Does the Golden Radiance Family intend to shield the Genetic Sect from conducting Demon Gene experiments?"
Luke's words caused the Golden Radiance Family member who had been pressuring Alice to change his expression.
"I warn you, do not slander my Golden Radiance Family! My Golden Radiance Family, alongside your Holy Light Family, is one of the three major families of the Heavenly City, and we are not afraid of you!"
At the same time, another person stood up to speak on behalf of the high officials of the Genetic Sect.
"The people of the Golden Radiance Family are indeed not wrong, the Heavenly City isn't dictated by the Holy Light Family alone; it's completely reasonable for him to see your young lady's killing intent and pressure her to stop!"
Alice, upon hearing this, looked towards the other party with an angry face, not fearing the Top Awakened.
"So the Silver Radiance Family also wants to protect these two Genetic Sect officials, whose sins run deep?"
Faced with Alice's questioning, the last of the three also stepped forward.
"Miss Alice, please refrain from saying such things before the investigation is clear, it is slander. I, representing the Mechanical Sect, agree with the representatives of the Golden Radiance and Silver Radiance Families and advise you to calm down."
Three against one, even though Alice had the protection of her Uncle Luke from the Holy Light Family, the pressure was immense.
"You..."
Before the outraged Alice could finish speaking, Lin Tianming, an outsider, spoke up.
"Before you arrived, Alice and I had already thoroughly investigated this experimental base and found the evidence indicting the Genetic Sect for conducting Demon Gene manipulation experiments. If you three Beiyin Domain dignitaries do not believe us, you can see for yourselves what this is!"
During the conversation, Lin Tianming took out three pieces of evidence detailing Demon Gene experiments from his Storage Space.
These materials bore the official seal and signatures of the Genetic Sect and were carefully selected by Lin Tianming as incriminating evidence during their recent confrontation.
After people from the Golden Radiance Family, the Silver Radiance Family, and the Mechanical Sect reviewed the materials, their expressions darkened one by one.
"The evidence is conclusive. The nature of the Genetic Sect's Demon Gene experiments this time is extremely vile. If not sternly punished, it will be difficult to satisfy the public. Do the three of you have anything else to say?"
Lin Tianming's confident and calm words further provoked the three of them.
"Merely three pieces of paper without authentication cannot prove anything. For now, we cannot deal with the researchers of the Genetic Sect. Let's wait until their other high-ranking officials arrive!"
Despite the situation, these three still sought to protect the high-level personnel of the Genetic Sect responsible for the experiments.
Lin Tianming laughed and, in an instant, took out over a hundred pieces of Demon Gene experiment evidence he had just collected.
"Three pieces of paper? Take a look at these documents and see what they are!"
However, this time he did not hand the documents directly to the three individuals, instead he used the power of Spiritual Power Ascension to make the documents float in front of him.
Seeing so many original documents of the Genetic Sect's evil experiments in Lin Tianming's hands, the three who wanted to protect the Genetic Sect grew fierce in their gaze.
"How… how do you have so many documents?"
"Hand the documents over. We, the Beiyin Domain people, will handle them appropriately!"
"As a person from an Exotic Realm, hand over those important documents immediately. We will conduct a strict review and make the fairest judgment. If the Genetic Sect is indeed guilty, the other official forces of the Beiyin Domain absolutely will not shield them!"
While speaking, they made a move to snatch the documents.
But Lin Tianming, in another instant, retrieved all the incriminating documents back into his Storage Space.
"Alice has also collected quite a lot of such information. I truly do not understand why you all are so keen on protecting the Genetic Sect. Unless... some of you are also accomplices in this evil experiment, deliberately shielding and condoning the Genetic Sect's Demon Gene modification experiments?"
Lin Tianming's pointed words enraged the three people.
"Don't slander us! This is a matter for our own people in the Beiyin Domain. An outsider like you has no place to interfere! If you don't hand over all the experimental materials, do not blame us for being ruthless!"
As soon as they seemed intent on harming Lin Tianming, Alice immediately said, "Uncle Luke, protect Tianming!"
Hearing this, Uncle Luke immediately stepped in to block the three individuals.
"If you dare to hurt him, don't blame me for not being polite!"
"Luke, we're all Top Awakened. You don't really think you can take on three by yourself, do you?"
Even though Luke was a Top Awakened, the combined force of the three still managed to repel him forcibly.
Seeing that they still dared to make a move, Alice's gaze turned sharp, "If you dare to hurt him, it will confirm your collusion with the Genetic Sect in this Demon Gene modification experiment. My Holy Light Family will definitely not let you off!"
However, against Alice's warning, the Top Awakeners of the Golden Radiance Family, the Silver Radiance Family, and the Mechanical Sect remained indifferent and continued to approach Lin Tianming.
Facing the pressure from the three Top Awakeners, Lin Tianming was not the least bit frightened; instead, he revealed a mocking expression.
"It's not too late to back down now, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences of attacking me."
Seeing that Lin Tianming, a person from an Exotic Realm, dared to threaten them on their Beiyin Domain territory, all three were infuriated to the point of laughter.
"That's all you have, and you think you can negotiate terms with us?"
"We represent some of the top forces in the Beiyin Domain, with high status. Do you think we need to pay a price to crush an ant like you? Ridiculous!"
"Forget about status; we're all Top Awakeners. Killing you is as easy as slaughtering a chicken!"
As their words ended, the three were about to strike Lin Tianming.
Seeing that they were really about to take action, Lin Tianming's gaze remained fearless.
Although the three were right in front of him, Lin Tianming did not even glance at them but instead looked beyond them and loudly called out.
"This is the fate you've brought upon yourselves, don't blame me for this, Teacher Jiang Han, they are trying to kill me to silence me!"
Upon his cry, the three who were attempting to kill Lin Tianming suddenly felt a tremendously powerful aura locking on to them.
This immensely powerful aura left the three Top Awakened feeling utterly powerless and despairing.
The very next moment, a cold voice filled with murderous intent accompanied by the roar of thunder came from behind them.
"How dare you harbor intentions to kill my precious student? It's the end for you all!"
