Chapter 1140: Devotion to Peril
Chapter 1140: Devotion to Peril
On January 19th, a large airship arrived outside the Central City of Vijiazia. The passengers on board were none other than Dayer Rosad, the Western Coast National Advisor of the Federation.
This man moved much faster than many had expected. After Chen Chuan sent a response Telegraph, he decided to come and meet the challenge.
Due to his status, the Central City of Vijiazia not only sent an Escort Team in advance but also a member of the Governor Council to greet him.
However, Rosad declined the invitation to enter the city, responding, "Maintaining order in Central City is already a significant burden. I won’t enter the city." He handed a letter to the official, "Please deliver this letter to Mr. Chen."
The official assured him that it would be done.
After the official left, Rosad stood alone in the airship’s cabin, his deep green eyes gazing toward Central City. A hint of worry could be seen in his eyes.
However, his keen instincts detected the danger. If the situation continued to deteriorate, the conflict between the two sides would inevitably escalate, and the ultimate cost would be borne by Tavatina.
He was well aware that Tavatina alone could not stand up to Da Shun. Unfortunately, many young people couldn't see their position and the gap in strength. He hoped his intervention could help put the brakes on this situation at a critical moment.
Chen Chuan soon received the letter delivered by the Vijiazia official. Strictly speaking, it was a Challenge Letter, inviting him to a Sparring match outside Vijiazia City in three days and politely asking if it was suitable.
Naturally, he had no objections.
He was eager to engage in battle with such a seasoned fighter. He also wanted to see how this person compared to Su Kuo.
From the wording and the speed at which the letter arrived, he could roughly guess the old man’s intentions.
He passed the letter to Xie Team Leader for review. After reading it, Xie Team Leader felt a bit regretful. In his mind, if they could use this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Tavatina people, their influence in the southern outer ocean would inevitably shrink, which would be extremely beneficial for Da Shun.
He said, "This old man indeed has a keen eye. I’ve heard he has been supporting young people in the Tavatina district, helping them grow. Many young people look up to him as an idol, but he’s taken the wrong path."
Shaking his head, he continued, "The more successful he is in the Federation, the more he gives the young people of Tavatina a false sense that they can also succeed in the Federation. The result is that more and more local talents are leaving for the Federation."
Chen Chuan nodded. The old man’s intentions were good, but the outcome was far from his original purpose. The young people of Tavatina didn’t see this as a problem, after all, they had a mature role model to follow.
Xie Team Leader asked, "Chen Chuang, are you confident?"
Chen Chuan replied, "I will do my best."
Xie Team Leader nodded. Although Chen Chuan didn’t give any guarantees, for some reason, he felt inexplicably confident.
After confirming, they politely wrote a response to Rosad and publicly accepted the challenge.
This time, out of respect for both parties’ status, the news wasn’t made public to the general populace. Instead, it circulated among the Governor Council of Vijiazia, the visiting delegations, and the fighter circles of various countries. However, the level of attention it received worldwide was no less significant, and many fighters close by even wanted to come and watch the match in person.
The Governor Council of Vijiazia quickly made a series of arrangements to ensure the match went smoothly.
On the same day, the Parking Lot in front of the Feishen Style Dojo was filled with vehicles. Many company representatives and security personnel stood there. Dojo Master Luo Weina had said she would make a decision on the dojo’s ownership by the next day at the latest.
Actually, the companies could have used more forceful means. They could see that the old lady had no more cards to play. However, after years of operating in Central City, the old lady had accumulated some connections.
These people weren’t entirely heartless. Although only a little, they could delay the process of transferring the dojo, but they wouldn’t stop it, especially when many of them had their own plans.
At that moment, two company representatives were looking at their watches. One of them said impatiently, "Are we just going to wait?"
The other replied, "It’s the decision from above. Just wait. After midnight, we’ll use other methods." He glanced at the other company representatives, "Their thoughts should be the same."
"With so many people eyeing the dojo, no one can take it all."
"Perhaps, but it ultimately depends on the old lady’s decision."
"Has she not come out at all these past two days?"
"Yes, these past two days she has been hiding inside and hasn't come out, nor has she met with anyone..."
As he was speaking, his companion suddenly pushed him and pointed forward, "Look!"
Everyone in the parking lot saw Luo Weina come out.
Was she about to make a decision?
Luo Weina was leaning on a cane, wearing a brown silk coat. Despite her advanced age, no one present forgot that she was a Third Limit Fighter. The cane could transform into a deadly weapon at any moment. In the City of Fighters, many companies had ties with Gou Dou Jia; otherwise, she would have been able to protect her own assets.
Luo Weina did not look at the company representatives. After descending the steps, she was directly helped into her private car by a few female assistants and drove away.
The people around couldn't help but wonder where she was going.
But 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 looked at each other, was she seeking protection from Daxun?
But that didn't make sense. The company representatives present all knew that Luo Weina's father, Luo Xiao, had been defeated by Mr. Chen, leaving her without a support system, which led to their subsequent actions.
Or was she going to confront him?
That would be too presumptuous.
Or perhaps...
They all thought of a possibility, though it seemed unbelievable, it might happen if she had no other options.
Inside the Daxun Delegation's Residence, Chen Chuan learned about Luo Weina's visit. He glanced at the Aetheric Field screen, thought for a moment, and said, "Let her in." At the same time, he opened a communication signal with Xie Team Leader.
After a while, Luo Weina walked in and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Chuan said, "Ms. Luo, please sit."
Luo Weina bowed her head in thanks and sat down. After the attendant served her tea, she looked at Chen Chuan.
"I thought you would be unfriendly to me", she said. "After all, someone like you probably wouldn't care about an old woman, the daughter of a pirate."
Chen Chuan said, "Ms. Luo, your father is your father, and you are you. And I remember that your mother took you away from Luo Xiao when you were very young?
Your mother was a respectable person, raising you alone and ensuring you received a complete Daxun education. I remember, Ms. Luo, your Eastern Continent calligraphy was quite good."
Luo Weina looked at him in surprise, "Mr. Chen, you remember this?"
Chen Chuan said, "I have seen the calligraphy you sent to Daxun for the competition when you were young. You had a strong foundation even then."
Luo Weina nodded silently, clearly aware that Chen Chuan knew everything about her and her mother. There was no need to beat around the bush.
She said, "This is the reason I came here today. I want to discuss a business deal with you."
Chen Chuan said, "A business deal?"
Luo Weina said, "Yes, my Feishen School Dojo. I feel I can no longer manage it, so I want to transfer this Dojo to you."
Chen Chuan had guessed a bit of this when she arrived. 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 am so old and have never been back. My mother always told me how beautiful the red maple forests are there. I want to see them with my own eyes.
Also, I heard that you defeated Cui Xuanhui at the Free Celestial Academy. In terms of both qualifications and strength, you are the most suitable person."
Xie Team Leader's voice came through the Jie Ping, "Mr. Chen, if possible, try to buy this Dojo!"
The Feishen School Dojo is a high-quality asset, and it is widespread throughout the Federation. Haven't you seen how all the companies are eyeing it? If possible, this asset can be a beneficial addition to Daxun's holdings in the Federation.
Chen Chuan looked at her and said, "Ms. Luo, I assume there are conditions?"
Luo Weina said, "I have only one condition: the Feishen School Dojo was founded by me and my mother, and this fact must never change. If Mr. Chen agrees, we can sign the transfer agreement 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 when she heard this. "I trust Mr. Chen's promise." She paused and added, "Can we finalize this today?"
Chen Chuan said, "Is Ms. Luo in such a hurry?"
Luo Weina sighed, "Mr. Chen, you know the situation of the Dojo. The sooner it is arranged, the sooner I can be at ease. There are so many people watching me from outside."
Chen Chuan looked at her for a moment, "Ms. Luo, please wait here for a moment."
