Chapter 330: Compensation
Chapter 330: Compensation
October 27, 2024
Upon receiving the news, Yang Chun rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing the multiple corpses in the corridor, his face turned ashen.
These individuals were mostly Seventh and Eighth Rank Force Warriors, yet they had all been killed within their own headquarters.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his gaze rapidly scanned the crowd. Only after spotting Jiang Cheng did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After finally calming everyone down and having the scene cleaned up, Yang Chun finally found the opportunity to speak with Jiang Cheng.
"Little Brother, are you injured?"
"I'm fine, thanks to the treasure you gave me, Big Brother Yang," Jiang Cheng forced a bitter laugh. "Otherwise, I'd be a headless corpse right now."
To be honest, even now, he still felt a lingering fear.
If he hadn't been somewhat vigilant, he wouldn't have noticed the odd look in the lead man's eyes, and it would have been impossible to activate the Sky Net Umbrella in time.
"Dawn Society, you've gone too far!"
He could have let the previous incident slide, but this time, they had directly intruded into the alchemy chamber and killed several people.
"Don't worry, three Ninth Rank warriors are already chasing after him. Even if they can't kill him, they'll make him pay dearly!" Yang Chun said through gritted teeth.
"That's the best-case scenario, of course."
Jiang Cheng nodded, then asked, "Big Brother Yang, do you know how he got in?"
"How did he get in?"
Yang Chun was taken aback.
Yes, indeed.
It was almost impossible for someone to enter without his approval, even if they were a Grandmaster.
"Do you mean there's a mole?"
"Big Brother Yang, I've already asked about it for you."
Jiang Cheng recounted the strange behavior of the man from before.
"After the assassin fled, I learned from his mouth that the assassin was the newcomer, Ge Xiaotian, whom you mentioned in your phone call."
"!"
Yang Chun's face turned pale instantly, and he took two steps back in shock.
The assassin... was him?
"Is... is that true?" he asked, his voice trembling.
"I've had someone keep an eye on him. You can question him later."
"Good, I'll interrogate them when I get back."
Yang Chun nodded repeatedly.
Just as he turned around, his body stiffened.
"Little Brother Jiang, I'm truly sorry. I hold a great deal of responsibility for this matter."
"Big Brother Yang, you're too kind. This has nothing to do with you; it's all my fault."
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"I knew those from the Dawn Society wouldn't let me off so easily, and indeed, they didn't. Even though this assassination attempt failed, they'll try again and again. Big Brother, don't take it to heart."
After saying this, he took a deep breath.
If the first assassination attempt was within his expectations, this one truly angered him.
If he had been a little less vigilant, he might already be a corpse on the ground. Therefore, the first thing he would do after becoming a Grandmaster was to eradicate the Dawn Society! He would show no mercy to any assassin from the Dawn Society who dared to stand in his way!
"No, Little Brother, you've misunderstood me. Ah!"
Yang Chun's face turned shameful.
"I might have inadvertently leaked some information to him, which allowed him to trace it back to you."
"What?"
Jiang Cheng was taken aback and looked at him.
"It's like this..."
Yang Chun clenched his teeth and recounted the events.
"To be honest, I felt a bit of regret after saying those words, but it was too late. Still, I held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that such a coincidence was impossible, but the result... Little Brother, I'm truly sorry, Big Brother. If you want to scold me, go ahead, or even hit me, and I won't fight back."
Jiang Cheng was at a loss for words. After some thought, he sighed and said, "Forget it, Senior Yang. I know you didn't mean it, and if it weren't for the treasure you borrowed for me from the director, I'd be dead too. Let's just leave it at that."
The culprit of this incident was the Dawn Society.
Yang Chun hadn't intended for this to happen, and he had been taking good care of Jiang Cheng lately.
"Little brother, this is my fault. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, as long as it doesn't violate the black market's rules, I'll agree to it." Yang Chun hastily said, feeling guilty as Jiang Cheng spoke.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment.
"Senior brother, since you've said that, there is something I'd like to ask of you."
"What is it, little brother? Tell me quickly!" Yang Chun was excited.
"It's like this, senior brother. I have two meditation techniques. One is the Lotus Meditation Technique, which is quite complete and comes with a meditation diagram. The other is the Golden Bell Meditation Technique, which is incomplete, but I have the introductory chapter and the meditation diagram. Could you lend me a Golden Bell Meditation Diagram so I can give it a try?"
"The Golden Bell Meditation Technique?" Yang Chun's expression turned somber.
"I also cultivate the Golden Bell Meditation Technique, and I have the meditation diagram. But little brother, you're only a Second Rank Mind Master, right? This meditation technique is extremely challenging to cultivate. Why don't you try a lower-level technique first? Like the Flying Flower Visualization Technique, even though it's a bit expensive, I'll speak to the director on your behalf. If that doesn't work, I'll pay for it myself and buy this technique for you!"
He clenched his teeth, knowing this mistake could have been disastrous.
It was a close call, almost impossible to recover from.
"No, no, no, senior brother. I just want to borrow the Golden Bell Meditation Diagram to try it out. Even if you give me something else, I won't accept it." Jiang Cheng said earnestly.
"This, this, are you serious, little brother?" Yang Chun felt embarrassed.
"Very serious." Jiang Cheng affirmed.
"Alright, a Golden Bell Meditation Diagram is about two million. I'll pay for it myself as compensation for this incident. Little brother, rest assured, this will never happen again. As for the Dawn Society, I'll inform the director, and they must give us an explanation! If you're tired, take a good rest today and continue with the alchemy tomorrow. I'll deliver the meditation diagram to you tonight."
After apologizing a few more times, he hurried off.
Jiang Cheng felt a little more relaxed.
Although this incident caused quite a stir, there were some gains. At least he had acquired the Golden Bell Meditation Technique.
If he could cultivate this technique to perfection, he would not only become a Tenth Rank Mind Master but also possess a top-grade Third Rank treasure, offering even better defense than his Sky Net Umbrella.
However, achieving this was no easy task.
At the very least, he would need to perfect the Calming Spirit Pill technique.
"Dawn Society, wait for me," Jiang Cheng's eyes flashed with determination.
