Chapter 1124: Duel and Opportunity
Chapter 1124: Duel and Opportunity
After Chen Chuan issued the order, the team members below carried it out without hesitation.
After the interrogation, they publicly executed all the rioters, including Diego, on the streets, with all of them facing the direction of the Tavatiniya Enclave. This was an immense deterrent.
The actions of the visit team greatly boosted the morale of the Dashun People and the Dashun Company in the Eastern Land Aggregation Area. People on the streets wore smiles, almost ready to cheer out loud. On that day alone, various civilian groups donated a large amount of supplies to the visit team.
Living in the Federation, the Dashun People faced considerable pressure, primarily from the local Central City and the hostility of immigrants from other enclaves.
Although they had advantages in wealth and technology compared to other enclaves, the Federation government often favored other immigrants, even encouraging and inciting them to target the Dashun People. Thus, even though they won in physical confrontations, they still had to pay substantial compensation.
The Federation government, on one hand, used the conflicts between ethnic groups to make them fight each other, and on the other hand, sucked blood from the Eastern Land Descendants.
This time, the situation was different. The visit team not only protected them but also resisted the pressure from Viasia Central City. They executed the rioters, who were Federation citizens, and did not demand any compensation.
This strong stance deeply won their support. Although the Dashun government had always been tough and spoke up for them internationally, it was different from having a powerful martial artist directly stand up and offer support. The entire enclave even celebrated with two additional days of fireworks.
Chen Chuan knew that whether dealing with the Western Party or the Eastern Party, showing weakness would not earn their respect; they would only think you were afraid of them.
However, when you showed strength and were willing to pay any price, they would compromise because they would not only fail to gain any benefits but might even suffer losses.
So when he did this, the Vi Asia Affairs Bureau did not say a word. As a result, many media outlets did not comment much, only briefly reporting that there was a minor conflict between two enclaves on New Year's Day.
After New Year's Day, Ryan provided the promised solution. The Vi Asia Affairs Bureau invited the representatives of various enclaves and some company heads, and also asked Chen Chuan to witness.
The bureau expressed regret over the long-standing conflicts between enclaves and the resulting damage to assets and personnel.
To resolve such incidents, the central city proposed a suggestion: immigrant enclaves could hire the City Guard Unit or purchase corresponding insurance to protect themselves.
The City Guard Unit of Vi Asia would not take sides or have any stance; as long as you could afford the fee and stayed within the city safety rules, they would immediately respond to any situation and suppress the troublemakers with force.
The representatives of the Eastern Land Aggregation Area and the heads of various Dashun companies discussed and agreed to pay the fee.
They understood the central city's intention; this was essentially paying a security fee to ensure their safety. If money could solve the problem, it would be a good thing for the enclaves. Chen Chuan could help them this time, but once he left, many situations might revert to the past.
They also understood that they needed to find a long-term, mutually recognized solution. In the past, doing so might have invited trouble, but now, with Chen Chuan and the visit team as witnesses, if anyone violated the agreement, the Dashun government would have a reason to intervene.
Thus, under the joint witness of Chen Chuan and the management of Viasia Central City, all parties signed a Security Guarantee Agreement.
Chen Chuan knew that the Vi Asia government would still benefit in the end, receiving a security fee without any investment.
However, living on someone else's territory, some things were inevitable.
The telegram informed him that the visit team had not yet reached an agreement with Kavatua and needed to stay a few more days. However, there was one situation they needed to inform him about: the International Investigation Team's Skalerson had gone missing.
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly upon reading this.
After reading the message, Chen Chuan immediately sent a telegram, requesting the secret department to provide intelligence on the investigation team's recent activities.
The intelligence report stated that the application had not been sent out, and the individual in question had gone missing the very next day. It was speculated that they might have encountered something more serious, and so he set out on his own to investigate, after which he vanished without a Trace.
He pondered for a Moment, then called in Gui Zihan, saying, "Team Leader, I need to take some time to handle some matters. After I leave, this place is in your charge."
Gui Zihan replied, "Director Chen, I understand."
Gui Zihan responded earnestly, "Director Chen, I will ensure the Safety of Every Member of the Visit Team."
After Chen Chuan's Brief instructions, he packed the necessary Items, called in Some Personnel, and left the Viasia Central City by Train the Same Afternoon to the Arcana Continent's Wilderness, He Witnessed Wild Buffalo Carcasses Everywhere, with Dried Blood Almost Covering the Ground, and Flies Buzzing Everywhere.
A Man with Long Hair Braided into Many Fine Braids Sat on a Pile of Buffalo Carcasses, his Upper Body Bare, Wearing a Western Wide-Brimmed Hat, his Muscles Covered in Various Patterns, and Two Daggers Plugged at His Waist.
He Flicked a Bottle Cap Between His Fingers, the Object Jumping Back and Forth Between His Palms, Appearing to Have a Life of Its Own.
With a Grin Curving His Lips, His Eyes Gleamed with a Deceptive Light.
"Lordwedge, the Madman," he said, looking down at the Reporting Personnel.
The Reporter Confirmed, "Yes, he left the Viasia Central City yesterday afternoon."
"Then..."
Lordwedge Stood Up from the Buffalo Carcasses, Stretching His Muscles, Making a Cracking Sound, "I should Go to the Central City and See What's Going On. I Can't Let My Fellow Compatriots Suffer Such Humiliation."
Though He was Brutal, Insane, and Cruel, He Knew What It Meant to Be a Hero.
He Enjoyed the Cheers of the People, and in the Conflict Between the Eastern Land Descendants and the Tavatini Enclave, He Heard the Latter Had Suffered Great Losses, Even in His Nominal Position, He Had Decisive.
Though He Was Insane, Insanity Always Had a Target, When Chen Chuan Was Around, He Couldn't Go Insane, for He Knew He Couldn't Beat a Forbidden Chamber Fighter, and This Wasn't Just Any Forbidden Chamber Fighter, Who Had a Record of Killing Three Forbidden Chamber Fighters in a Day, This Thought Was Enough to Make One's Heart Race.
Since He Had Left, That Was His Chance.
Though the Dashun Visit Team Had a Fighter, He Had Prior Knowledge, the Opponent Wasn't Famous, Even in The Free Star Combat Academy, He Wasn't Willing to Fight, Such a Timid Pusill Was Afraid?
This Time He Would Give the Dashun Visit Team a Warm Welcome and Enthusiasm, Which Made Him Tremble with Excitement.
His Lips Curved into a Cruel Smile, and Then with His Hands Open, His Long Arms Slowly Raised, Pointing at The Viasia Central City.
Two Days Later, The Viasia Central City Received a Message, "Madman" Lordwedge Challenged the Dashun Visit Team's Fighter, Gui Zihan, with a Challenge Letter.
This Matter Stirred the Entire Central City in a Day, and Soon Numerous Media Followed, Making Waves.
The Master of Etiquette Duel on the City Center's Big Screen Said to the Crowd, "Citizens, Compatriots, Have You Heard About This?"
He Enthusiastically Exclaimed, "As the City of Combat, We Welcome Such Public Challenges!"
"I Know You Are Wondering, Will Madman Lordwedge Challenge the More Powerful Mr. Chen?"
Who Knew? He Was a Madman, Nothing About Madmen Was Strange, But He Thought After Defeating Mr. Gui, He Would Challenge Mr. Chen?
Mr. Gui Hadn't Given Any Response Yet, "I Don't Think Mr. Gui Is Afraid, It Might Be Due to the Discipline of the Dashun Visit Team That Doesn't Allow Solo Decisions?"
"Please Forgive Them, Unlike Our Federation Citizens, They Can't Breathe Freely, Act Freely, or Express Freely. They Are Constrained, Unable to Casually Express Their Will and Thoughts, So Please Wait, Give Them Some Time. I Believe Mr. Gui Will Respond Under Permissible Conditions."
