Chapter 1140: Devoted to Alleviating Crisis

On January 19th, a large airship arrived outside the Vail Asia Central City. The passenger on board was Dahyel Rosade, a national advisor from the Federation's West Coast.

This man acted faster than many had anticipated. After receiving Chen Chuan's response telegram, he decided to come for the meeting.

Due to his status, the Vail Asia Central City authorities not only dispatched a guard unit in advance but also sent a member of the management team to greet him.

However, Rosade politely declined the invitation to enter the city, saying, "The pressure of maintaining order in the city is significant, so I won't go in." He handed a letter to the official, "Please ensure this letter reaches Mr. Chen."

The official assured him that it would be delivered.

After the official left, Rosade stood alone in the airship's cabin, his deep green eyes gazing toward the city. A hint of worry flickered in his gaze.

With the media's incitement, more and more Twuantinia Tuwantinia fighters seemed eager to become involved in the confrontation.

However, he keenly sensed the danger. If the situation continued to escalate, the conflict between the two sides would inevitably intensify, and the ultimate cost would be borne by Twuantinia.

He was well aware that Twuantinia alone could not stand against Daxun. Unfortunately, many young people failed to recognize their position and the gap in strength. He hoped his intervention could help bring the situation under control at a critical moment.

Chen Chuan received the letter from the Vail Asia official shortly after. Strictly speaking, it was a challenge letter, inviting him to a friendly match outside Vail Asia City in three days. The letter politely asked if the timing was suitable.

He had no objections.

Engaging in a battle with such an experienced fighter was exactly what he wanted. He was also curious to see how this person compared to Su Kong.

From the wording and the speed of the response, he could roughly guess the old man's intentions.

Both of them were martial artists at the Longevity Cultivation level, so their duel could decide the outcome of the conflict, sparing other Twuantinia fighters from unnecessary involvement and preventing greater losses.

He handed the letter to Xie Xie Team Leader for review. After reading it, Xie felt a bit regretful. In his mind, if they could take advantage of this opportunity to deal a significant blow to Twuantinia, their influence in the southern outer ocean would undoubtedly diminish, which would be highly beneficial for Daxun.

He said, "This old man indeed has a keen eye. I've heard he has been sponsoring young people in Twuantinia for years, helping them grow. Many young people look up to him as an idol and role model, but he's taken the wrong path."

Shaking his head, he added, "The more successful he becomes in the Federation, the more it gives Twuantinia's young people a false impression that they can also achieve success here, leading to a growing brain drain."

Chen Chuan nodded. The old man's intentions were noble, but the outcome was the opposite of what he intended. Twuantinia's young people didn't see this as a problem, as they had a mature role model to follow.

Xie asked, "Director Chen, are you confident?"

Chen Chuan replied, "I will do my best."

Xie nodded, though Chen Chuan hadn't given any guarantees, he inexplicably felt confident.

After confirming, they politely sent a reply to Rosade and publicly responded to the challenge.

This time, out of respect for both parties' status, the news was not made public to the general populace. Instead, it circulated among the Vail Asia management, both delegations, and the martial arts circles of various countries. However, the level of attention from around the world was no less significant. Many martial artists close by even planned to come and watch the match in person.

The Vail Asia management quickly made a series of arrangements to ensure the match would proceed smoothly.

On the same day, the parking lot in front of the Non-Body Flow dojo was filled with vehicles, and many company representatives and security personnel were gathered there. The dojo's owner, Luo Weina, had said she would make a decision on the dojo's ownership within the next one or two days.

In reality, the companies could have used more forceful means. They could see that the old lady had no more cards to play. However, she had built a network of connections over the years in the city, and these people, while not entirely unmoved by sentiment, could delay the process of transferring the dojo, though they wouldn't obstruct it, especially since many of them had similar intentions.

At that moment, two company representatives were checking their watches. One, growing impatient, said, "Are we just going to wait here?"

The other replied, "We have our orders. We wait. Once midnight passes, we'll use other methods." He glanced at the other company representatives, "They probably feel the same way."

"With so many eyes on the dojo, no one can take it over completely."

"Perhaps, but it ultimately depends on the old lady's decision."

"Hasn't she come out in the last two days?"

"Not in the last two days. She's been hiding inside, not meeting anyone."

As he spoke, his companion suddenly nudged him and pointed forward, "Look!"

Everyone in the parking lot saw Luo Weina emerge from inside.

Is she about to make a decision?

Luo Weina leaned on a cane, draped in a brown silk coat. Despite her advanced age, no one present forgot that she was a third-degree martial artist. This cane could transform into a lethal weapon at any moment. It was only in the City of Martial Artists that many companies had ties with fighters; otherwise, she could have protected her own businesses.

Luo Weina didn't look at the company representatives. After descending the stairs, she was assisted by a few female assistants into her private car and drove away.

Those around couldn't help but wonder where she was going.

However, just ten minutes later, they received a conclusion from the Resonators. If her route was correct, she was heading to the hotel where the Daxun Delegation was staying.

The Daxun Delegation?

Everyone exchanged glances. Was she seeking Daxun's protection?

But that didn't seem right. All the company representatives knew that Luo Weina's father, Luo Xiao, had been defeated by Mr. Chen, leaving her without a protector, which led to their subsequent actions.

Or was she there to demand an explanation?

That would be too presumptuous.

Or perhaps...

They all thought of a possibility, though it seemed incredible, it wasn't impossible given her lack of options.

Inside the Daxun Delegation's headquarters, Chen Chuan learned of Luo Weina's visit. He glanced at the display on the field screen, thought for a moment, and said, "Let her in." At the same time, he opened a communication channel to Xie, the delegation leader.

After a while, Luo Weina walked in and bowed to him, saying, "Hello, Director Chen."

Chen Chuan said, "Ms. Luo, please have a seat."

Luo Weina bowed in gratitude and sat down. After the attendant served her tea, she looked at Chen Chuan.

"I thought you would be cold to me," she said. "Of course, someone of your stature probably wouldn't care about an old woman, the daughter of a pirate."

Chen Chuan replied, "Ms. Luo, your father is your father, and you are you. I remember that your mother took you away from Luo Xiao when you were very young. Your mother was a remarkable person, raising you alone and ensuring you received a complete Daxun education. Your Eastern Continent calligraphy is quite impressive, I recall."

Luo Weina looked at him with surprise, "Mr. Chen, you remember that?"

Chen Chuan said, "I've seen the calligraphy you sent to Daxun competitions when you were young. You had a strong foundation even then."

Luo Weina nodded silently, realizing Chen Chuan was well-informed about her past. There was no need to beat around the bush.

She said, "The reason I am here, Mr. Chen, is to discuss a business deal with you."

Chen Chuan asked, "A business deal?"

Luo Weina said, "Yes, I feel that I can no longer manage my Non-Body Flow dojo. I want to transfer this dojo to you."

When she arrived, Chen Chuan had already guessed her intentions. He asked, "What are your reasons, Ms. Luo?"

Luo Weina said, "I can no longer maintain this venue. I want to return to Daxun and visit my mother's hometown. I have never been back, and I have always heard from my mother that the red maple forests there are beautiful. I want to see them with my own eyes.

Additionally, I heard that you defeated Cui Xuanhui at the Liberty Academy. In terms of both qualifications and strength, you are the most suitable person."

Xie's voice came through the Jie Ping, "Director Chen, if possible, try to buy this dojo!"

The Non-Body Flow dojo is a high-quality asset and is widespread throughout the Federation. All the companies are eyeing it. If possible, it could be a valuable addition to Daxun's assets in the Federation.

Chen Chuan looked at her and said, "Ms. Luo, I assume you have conditions?"

Luo Weina said, "I have only one condition: the founders of the Non-Body Flow dojo are my mother and me, and this must never change. If Mr. Chen agrees, we can sign the transfer treaty today."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and nodded, "Ms. Luo, if that is the only condition, I can personally agree to it."

Luo Weina's eyes lit up, "I trust Director Chen's word." She paused and added, "Can we finalize this today?"

Chen Chuan asked, "Ms. Luo, you are in such a hurry?"

Luo Weina sighed, "You know the situation with the dojo. The sooner it is settled, the sooner I can be at ease. Many people are watching me."

Chen Chuan looked at her for a moment, "Then Ms. Luo, please wait here for a moment."
