Chapter 250: Chapter 120: Stepping Down Chapter 250: Chapter 120: Stepping Down God of War Tantai, the War God of Steel Dome City.
Shen Han, the mayor of Steel Dome City, enjoys a very high reputation there.
In the era of the Federation, the major cities were highly autonomous, with the Capital not interfering with their operations, so each city elected their own leader.
The Shen Family Brothers came from humble beginnings, with an extremely motivational career path, and they held very high prestige.
Shen Han was elected the mayor of Steel Dome City a few years ago.
The Old War God and the Shen Family Brothers were both highly representative figures.
Now, the Old War God had accused Mayor Shen Han.
Moreover, it seemed to be a situation where neither would rest until one was dead.
Given the influence of the Old War God, it would be difficult for Shen Han to forcefully arrest the Old Dean in the name of the City Government.
It was likely to cause city unrest and, given that he was dealing with the Old War God, would also face extreme skepticism.
Just now, Steel Dome City had already been in turmoil, with the two Military Districts nearly engaging in total war.
Representatives from all the Extraordinary Academies had also arrived, and if things continued, it would lead to all-out war, with unimaginable consequences.
No one could afford such chaos.
That’s why Shen Han had planned to first forcibly eliminate the Old Dean under the name of a thug.

The Southern Military District had directly organized an ambush to assassinate the Old Dean, only to fail.
Now, with the situation having escalated so heavily, it was difficult to bring things to an end.
Actually, this wasn’t what the public wanted to see.
But by now, it seemed impossible to turn back.
Many supporters of the Old Dean felt a wave of sorrow in their hearts upon hearing the elder’s accusations.
Eliminating the hero of Steel Dome City and forcing an old man to accuse the mayor in front of the entire city was utterly sad!
“I also accuse the mayor of Steel Dome City, Shen Han, and the commander of the Southern Military District, Shen Qianzhong, of conspiring to besiege the hero of Steel Dome City,” announced Dean Nanming as he too stepped forward.
Following that, multiple figures also emerged, all leaders of the Academy Faction.
Previous conflicts had been mild, but today’s situation had reached a point of no return for both sides.
The Extraordinary Academy had to take a stand.
In front of the screens, the citizens of Steel Dome City watched silently, sensing an imminent earthquake in their city.

“Let Shen Han come out and respond,” the Old Dean shouted fiercely.
In such a situation, Shen Han, as the mayor, would find it impossible to hide in the background.
A dead silence followed, as it seemed everyone was waiting.
Waiting for Shen Han to come forth and confront the situation.
In the distance, flying devices approached from the horizon, and several Mechas landed opposite them.
Shen Han, dressed in Armor, emerged from a flying device.
He wasn’t wearing a helmet, revealing his resolute face.
In his forties, Shen Han bore some resemblance to Shen Qianzhong, but unlike Shen Qianzhong’s stern and martial demeanor, he carried a somewhat softer temperament.
“Old Dean, you are a hero of the city, but I am very disappointed with everything you’ve done today,” Shen Han stood apart, addressing Dean Tantai, “Today I received information that someone would attempt to assassinate the City Government secretary Steven, and that they could be heavily armed.
Therefore, I covertly assigned the Southern Military District to set up an ambush.
I didn’t expect that the person we’d encounter was you, Old Dean, leading former members of Noah Academy in an attempt on government personnel and inciting insurgence from the Southwest Military District and the academies, thrusting the city into chaos.
Old Dean, is this what you call acting as Steel Dome City’s spiritual leader?”
“Hypocrite!” The members of the Academy Faction were extremely angry upon hearing the other side’s words.
How could Shen Han not know who the target of the ambush was?
Such a formidable force had clearly been intended for the Old Dean.
“Today’s event, all the former members of Noah Academy were executing my orders, and the Southwest Military District came to assist at my request.
I take all responsibility and am open to an investigation, but you, accused of plotting against Lin Qingze and Noah Academy members, what preparations have you made?” the Old Dean stared at Shen Han.
Shen Han, a modified being, directing the assassination of Lin Qingze, could not be innocent.
The Old Dean did not wish for a civil war to erupt in the city, but the prerequisite was for Shen Han to fall.
“Old Dean, you need to be responsible for what you say.
You know very well your influence in Steel Dome City.
Now, you are suspected of attempting to assassinate government officials and killing military personnel.
If we proceed with your arrest, those present might continue fighting, plunging Steel Dome City into complete disorder.”
Arrest?
Shen Han actually intended to arrest the Old Dean.
“I will take full responsibility and am open to investigation, but I will not accept arrest until the investigation is complete.
I will go back to where I live and not leave a step, subject to surveillance by all parties.
However, I no longer trust a government led by you, Shen Han.
I am willing to face any accusation until proven guilty.
As for you and your team, step down and let us all submit to an investigation!” Dean Tantai stared back at Shen Han.
The onlookers were terrified, as this was a situation of mutual destruction.
The Old Dean knew that if he didn’t back down and continued to wage war, the Southwest Military District and the Academy Faction would follow him into battle.
But that would lead to a massive civil war, a war too costly for anyone to handle, throwing the city into confusion, and that was not what the Old Dean wanted to see.
Therefore, he decided to use his reputation as the War God to accuse Shen Han, demanding Shen Han’s resignation and investigation.
Instantly, the area below became quiet.
Countless citizens of Steel Dome City, watching the screen, could sense the Old Dean’s determination.
Under these circumstances, if Shen Han remained defiant,
Then, perhaps there would be no other choice but war.
