Chapter 511: Cold Wind
Chapter 511: Cold Wind
Within the Handling Bureau, many were discussing below as they couldn't witness the confrontation between Chen Chuan and the foreigner due to the interdimensional connector being shut down by Chen Chuan.
"It seems Captain Chen wanted to ask the foreigner something, so he blocked the field domain information. Could it be that Captain Chen actually believes the foreigner?"
"Do you really think Captain Chen would be that naive?"
"Rest assured, Captain Chen won't be careless. We just need to wait. A fight between fighters of their caliber won't last long."
As they spoke, the personnel arranged by the Handling Bureau nearby had already been notified and were keeping an eye out for any changes above.
After about half an hour, there was movement on the mountain path. The crowd looked into the light screen and saw Chen Chuan and San Cheng Huang walking down the mountain together, with San Cheng Huang slightly behind.
There were no visible signs of injury on the two, and their clothing showed no signs of damage. As they descended, they continued their conversation, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious, indicating that there had indeed been no fight.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the two parted ways, and the crowd even saw San Cheng Huang bow respectfully to Chen Chuan before leaving alone.
Only then did Chen Chuan reopen the interdimensional connector and reestablish contact with the Handling Bureau.
A staff member immediately asked, "Captain Chen, how is it? Are you alright over there?"
Chen Chuan replied, "It's nothing. This Mr. San Cheng Huang is not from the Ferris Wheel Company. He came to me purely for a friendly sparring match between fighters."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
Words may deceive, but the mind cannot be fooled, unless one possesses a secret art that can deceive oneself. However, such a practice is meaningless to fighters like them.
They remain vigilant at all times, even during friendly sparring, never giving their opponents an opportunity. Their opponent, being of the same caliber, would undoubtedly be aware of this.
After communicating with the bureau, Chen Chuan walked to the car, opened the door, and drove away. He glanced at Qingding Mountain, thinking it was a good place for future sparring sessions.
At the same time, within the Ferris Wheel Company, the security manager, Guan Shangjing, was also closely monitoring the battle. However, due to the Handling Bureau's field domain shielding, the Ferris Wheel Company couldn't see the situation on the other side, so they could only wait for the outcome.
"Manager, we have news!"
A security officer entered the office, and in response to the inquiring gaze, he excitedly said, "We saw San Cheng Huang leaving Qingding Mountain. Manager, San Cheng Huang is unharmed. Does that mean he won?"
Guan Shangjing played with a small bronze dog on his desk but didn't jump to conclusions. Instead, he said, "Let's wait for the news from the Handling Bureau."
Within two minutes, the news arrived, but the result was that Chen Chuan had also driven away, and both seemed to have suffered no losses.
The simple logic was that even if the two had fought, it was most likely just a friendly sparring match and not the deadly battle they had imagined.
Guan Shangjing was dissatisfied with the outcome, but not overly disappointed. San Cheng Huang was just an unexpected factor, and they hadn't planned for him to kill Chen Chuan. Compared to his fighting ability, this person was also known for his laziness and caution.
A cold light flashed in Guan Shangjing's eyes. They would have to handle this matter themselves instead of relying on others.
He looked up at the light screen on his desk, where several photos were being displayed in rotation.
These were people the Ferris Wheel Company needed to deal with, and only six remained. Two were currently in other central cities, and one was in a foreign land, all of whom had already been sent people to handle.
As none of these individuals were fighters, and they only had some hired security, dealing with them wasn't too complicated, and the outcome was foreseeable.
The remaining three were Lei Guang Cheng from the Secret Sect's Review Bureau, Chen Chuan, and Deng Xing, who had once served as the company's intelligence secretary.
The first two were tough nuts to crack, and only Deng Xing seemed more manageable. However, she had been hiding in the Elephant Gang from the start, and her boyfriend was not only a Third Limit Fighter but also a core member of the gang.
The Elephant Gang's stronghold was almost like a fortress, filled with hidden bunkers and guard posts. With over a thousand core members and a gathering of more than ten thousand people, it wasn't easy to take them down.
When the Swordfish Gang clashed with the Elephant Gang, they had tried to take advantage of the situation to eliminate them but failed.
The Elephant Gang's upper echelon was entirely composed of clan members, and as foreigners, they were highly united in the face of harsh external conditions, making it very challenging for outsiders to infiltrate from within.
However, Guan Shangjing had recently found a way.
The Elephant Gang did have internal conflicts, but they were all suppressed by the gang leader, Tu Ge, the eldest of the Tu clan and the binding force among all the clan members.
If he were gone, the Elephant Gang would immediately fall into disarray.
Tu Ge, in his youth, had undergone extensive implantation, requiring regular injections of large doses of anti-mutation drugs every month. Recently, due to his advanced age, his anti-mutation reactions had become increasingly severe, and the drugs he needed were beyond what the Elephant Gang could provide, creating a vulnerability.
Guan Shangjing coldly stared at the remaining photos on the screen, and with a forceful squeeze of his fingers, the bronze dog instantly deformed.
"The company's enemies must be purged!"
At this moment in the Dewy Zone, the Elephant Gang's gathering place.
Deng Xing suddenly felt her heart race, and the vase in her hand slipped from her grasp, shattering on the floor. The flowers and soil mixed together, and petals were scattered everywhere.
"Why are you so careless?"
Tu Na walked over, speaking in a somewhat stiff Dachun dialect with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Deng Xing suddenly turned around and hugged him, burying her head in his chest. With a worried and panicked tone, she said, "We have to leave here, we have to leave..." Her emotions seemed very unstable, and she repeated this several times.
Tu Na felt his girlfriend's trembling body, and his expression was filled with helplessness. His girlfriend was great in every way, but she was easily startled. He gently stroked her soft hair to comfort her, saying:
"I know you were scared before, but I told you, living in the Elephant Gang, you don't have to be afraid. I'm inside, and there's a fortress outside."
"We have our own guns, our own armed vehicles, our own trained fighters, and thousands of brothers. The Ferris Wheel Company won't be able to break through."
After comforting her for a while, Deng Xing calmed down. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. "I have some business to attend to. If you're bored, watch some shows or ask Ale to take you for a walk around the gang." As he spoke, he gently patted Deng Xing twice and then threw a protective suit over his shoulder and walked out.
Deng Xing watched him leave, hugging her arms as she walked in the living room. She lived in a three-story mansion built with Shenyi Peninsula's multi-layered roof style, adorned with intricate flower windows and bamboo carvings.
The house was brightly lit, and beneath it was a field domain beast, while various combat creatures surrounded the premises. Tu Na was very attentive to her, but she still felt insecure.
At this moment, the bamboo curtain at the entrance swayed in the breeze, and despite it being spring, the March wind carried a chill that seeped into her bones, making her shiver.
She had an innate premonition ability, and whenever something bad was about to happen, her senses would become especially heightened. This was the reason she had always managed to evade capture.
It wasn't just her; her sister was the same, but her sister was already...
She sighed softly and rubbed her arm.
"Meow..."
At that moment, a large cat jumped in front of her, its long, dense fur soft and grayish-white. She picked it up and hugged it, gently stroking it. The cat purred contentedly, bringing her a moment of peace.
She thought of something and opened the interdimensional connector, accessing the edge channel. There, they were discussing Chen Chuan's duel in the Three Cities Wilderness today. The comments below debated whether the fight had actually taken place and who had won.
Ever since the Ferris Wheel Company's public apology, she had been keeping an eye on Chen Chuan because she knew he was one of the targets the Ferris Wheel Company wanted to deal with.
However, she also knew that even with the apology, it wouldn't be the end. The Ferris Wheel Company never gave up on such targets.
She turned to the resonance channel and wanted to connect, but hesitated and didn't press the button. Instead, she spoke to the interdimensional connector, "Ale, help me find someone, the one from last time."
A young voice came from the interdimensional connector, "Elder Sister, it's not that I don't want to help, but that's the person from the Handling Bureau. There's a dedicated resonator responsible for interception. Last time, almost getting caught.
Deng Xing said, "Just find that resonator. I want to talk to him."
"Elder Sister, what do you want to do?"
Deng Xing replied, "Don't ask too many questions. Didn't your brother tell you that Elder Sister wants to do something, she has to tell you about it?"
"Okay, okay, Elder Sister, don't get angry. You're not pretty when you're angry. I'll give it a try, but if I can't get through, don't blame me."
Meanwhile, Chen Chuan received a message from Wing Blade Company while returning to his dorm. They invited him to Wing Blade Lumina Corporation regarding a matter concerning Dawn Crow. It seemed like there was some good news.
He immediately changed course and headed towards the deep interior zone, arriving at Wing Blade Lumina Corporation. He met with Manager Zhuang, who led him to the cultivation area.
"Mr. Chen, the plan is progressing smoothly, even better than I expected. In just five days, an aberration has grown from your pet's body."
Chen Chuan looked through the light screen at Dawn Crow, currently lying in a prepared nest. Its body seemed slightly larger than before, and the feathers covering it were more vibrant than before.
Manager Zhuang said, "Mr. Chen's pet is very smart. I've handled many pets, but rarely have I seen one so intelligent. It responds well to various environmental stimuli and drug injections, as if it knows what it needs to do, which is why the progress is so fast."
After the aberration grew, the next step was to promote its growth, but the specific direction of growth required Mr. Chen's confirmation.
Just as Chen Chuan was about to speak, a message from Wu Bei suddenly came through the interdimensional connector. He apologized and stepped aside, "Brother Wu, is something the matter?"
