Chapter 375: Analysis
In the parking lot of Wan Sheng Bank, Chen Chuan's gaze was calm. He clenched his fist, and a white mist suddenly appeared between his fingers, then slowly dissipated. He straightened his body.
Those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but breathe rapidly, their hearts pounding.
Even those monitoring the situation through the field domain couldn't help but swallow, for the scene before them was incredibly striking.
The female assistant, Yan Yi, had just retrieved some records of the Fenyajin from the Boundary Vessel, but before she could examine them, she was astonished to see the corpse of the Fenyajin with its head blown apart.
This time, Chen Chuan did not rely solely on absolute speed and strength. Instead, he first influenced his opponent's life field, momentarily intimidating and understanding their situation before making a reasonable countermeasure.
He clearly saw that the opponent's power was concentrated on a single point. With a good weapon, they could unleash an almost unstoppable slash.
However, this distribution was extreme, forcing them to maintain constant offense. If the strongest point was bypassed, the rear would be extremely vulnerable, leaving them at the mercy of their opponent. If this swordsman's skill ended here, they wouldn't have made it this far. Therefore, Chen Chuan believed there should be a way to redirect their force.
His strategy was simple: by colliding life fields, he could dampen their momentum and directly block the strongest point with his body, then use his speed to disrupt their subsequent adjustments.
Although Chen Chuan had used the Furnace Breath technique, he quickly retracted it with his skill, unlike before when he maintained it continuously. He only used it to seize the initiative.
In a battle between experts, seizing the initiative for a moment was enough.
In reality, once Chen Chuan clearly saw the information conveyed by the opponent's life field, he only needed to make a reasonable response.
This was the power of the life field. The Fenyajin probably hadn't undergone systematic training in this regard, so they were at a disadvantage from the start. If they could have concealed some information, they might not have been defeated so easily.
Mr. Jiang's words rang true; those powerful Tier Three combatants were not crippled. This indicated that this Fenyajin was not strong enough.
Chen Chuan turned and gestured to the crowd behind him, "Let's go."
The security team behind him had been standing there all along. When they saw Chen Chuan's gaze, they tensed up involuntarily. After hearing his instructions, they hurriedly quickened their pace, escorting Meng Shu forward. As they passed by the Fenyajin's corpse, they couldn't help but take a few glances.
Soon, they arrived at the side of Meng Shu's extended armored vehicle. Someone inside had already prepared, immediately opening the door for her. Several tall female security guards surrounded her, escorting her into the vehicle.
Chen Chuan glanced around, then his gaze fell on the jade blade on the ground. He walked over, gently lifted it with his foot, and picked it up.
The moment he held the blade, he could feel its fragility and sharpness. With the transmission of unique forces, it could, to some extent, become an indestructible weapon.
It was a valuable collectible. After collecting the blade and its sheath, he walked towards the armored vehicle and got in.
Once the vehicle door closed, he withdrew his gaze from the outside and saw Meng Shu sitting there, looking at him. Her emotions seemed relatively stable.
"It seems your condition is good," Chen Chuan said.
Meng Shu spoke softly, "When I was young, I witnessed many such scenes. Some were accidental, and some were intentionally shown to me. I've gotten used to it."
Chen Chuan acknowledged.
Indeed, Meng Shu, having grown up in that environment, had to endure things that ordinary people couldn't even imagine while enjoying her privileged life.
Yan Yi asked for his opinion, "Mr. Chen, can we depart now?"
"No problem, let's go," Chen Chuan replied.
Yan Yi instructed the driver, and the car slowly started, waiting for the lead vehicle to move first. The security convoy followed one by one.
Not long after they left, Captain Guan arrived at the parking lot. He looked at the Fenyajin's corpse on the ground and the scattered blood and flesh sprayed backward, feeling shocked. He couldn't help but sigh, wondering if this was truly the Fenyajin he knew.
He had just reviewed the Fenyajin's records, and they didn't seem this weak.
But the facts were clear.
Perhaps Chen Chuan's strength had surpassed his.
Captain Guan remembered the rumors within the bureau that Chen Chuan had achieved the Tier Three Limit by killing Wei Wusheng with his bare hands just a few days ago. After so many days, he should have become even more formidable.
He bent down, carefully examined the corpse, compared it with various information, and finally stood up. He contacted the bureau through the Boundary Vessel, saying, "Director Wu, identity confirmed. It's the Fenyajin, yes... Their vehicle has left... Okay, I understand."
He instructed the team around him, "Have the city patrol come and take the corpse away."
He glanced at Wan Sheng Bank. Despite all the commotion outside, there was no response from inside, and the security guards at the entrance stood motionless. Wan Sheng Bank never involved itself in external affairs. No matter your status, once you stepped out of their doors, they had no connection with you.
Meng Shu's motorcade didn't return to the Fusion Boundary Corporation, as it was Meng Huang's headquarters. Now that the latter had made his move, she decided to avoid it and headed straight for the Mo Tie Mountain Estate.
Although not returning to the company seemed to give up control, Meng Shu could only manage a portion of the company's business with the resources and income her grandfather had entrusted to her.
Chen Chuan spoke up, "Although this doesn't concern me, I'd like to ask, if you don't return to the company, you'll never be able to intervene in its affairs. So, how do you plan to turn things around?"
Yan Yi replied, "Although Meng Huang is handling many company matters as a proxy, he's just a proxy. Duke Meng Lei is the real brain behind the company. Now that he's retired, the company's financial control and most critical R&D department are still in his hands."
"Additionally, over sixty percent of the company's employees and management have the company's implants. They enjoy the company's benefits and use the medication provided by the company. Meng Huang hasn't obtained the biometric keys and special medication supply channels for these biological implants."
"Meng Huang has his own team, but he only has surface-level operational authority. In reality, he only possesses the development and expansion rights for the new market, and even these haven't fully taken off. Although he still controls part of the sales end, there's not much room for expansion due to the company's government defense industry contracts."
She spoke with conviction, "As long as Duke Meng Lei hasn't officially decided on a successor, nothing is set in stone.
Right now, Miss Meng is Meng Huang's bottleneck. The simplest thing he can do is to get rid of Miss Meng. That's the only way he can have sufficient room to maneuver.
So, as long as Miss Meng is alive, nothing is more important than her safety at this moment."
She looked at Chen Chuan and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, Meng Huang will undoubtedly continue to send people. Mr. Chen, I entrust Miss Meng's safety to you."
Chen Chuan said, "Since I've promised, I'll keep my word."
Meng Shu spoke seriously, "I'll keep my promise too."
At that moment, inside a meeting room at the Fusion Boundary Corporation, a large holographic screen repeatedly played the scene of the Fenyajin's death.
A man sat on an expansive, luxurious sofa, watching the scene.
Standing before him was a tall, bespectacled man with a refined air, looking like an elite graduate from a prestigious university. He was explaining the situation to the man:
"This fighter, Chen Chuan, is very strong. I've seen him fight a wanted fugitive, and his speed was clearly superior to Wei Wusheng's. His strength wasn't much weaker, and their techniques were essentially on par.
So, from the start, Wei Wusheng had little chance of winning. If the fight hadn't ended quickly, it would've continued, and without outside intervention, he would've been unable to escape.
And from this recording..."
He turned to face the man, "This fighter's physical abilities haven't significantly improved, which is understandable given the short time since the last fight, about a month. But his grasp of combat rhythm is excellent; he seems to have anticipated every move of the Fenyajin."
As he spoke, he stepped back a few paces and used his finger to rewind the recording to a specific moment, then slowed it down slightly.
"Look here, the Fenyajin's strike has a barely noticeable hesitation. But the Fenyajin never hesitates when striking, and such a minor mistake wouldn't appear in his performance.
So, we believe his opponent used some kind of life field technique, causing the Fenyajin to be slightly affected. In a fighter's duel, such a mistake can be fatal. This put the Fenyajin at a disadvantage from the start, and he was gradually destroyed step by step. As a result, he didn't even get a chance to use his sword and was annihilated by his opponent's bare hands."
The man on the sofa asked, "Can you handle this?"
The tall man replied, "Although this fighter is powerful, he's not unbeatable. He's not at the top tier, and we can deal with him, especially since he's alone."
"Then it's up to you."
"I only care about the outcome."
After saying this, the man stood up from the sofa. He didn't seem imposing while seated, but standing, he revealed his height of over two meters, not much shorter than the tall man. The latter felt a heart-pounding aura from him.
After the man left under the escort of several security guards wearing protective goggles, the tall man touched the boundary vessel and said, "Boss, as expected, the Fenyajin lost quickly. I've obtained the recording and watched it. The opponent is strong, but the employer wants us to handle it. I'm on my way."
