Chapter 511: The Cold Wind
Chapter 511: The Cold Wind
Within the confines of the Processing Bureau, many personnel were left speculating due to Chen Chuan's decision to disable the interdimensional link, preventing them from witnessing the confrontation.
"It seems Captain Chen wanted to question the overseas visitor. That's why he blocked the field domain information. Do you think he truly believed in the foreigner?"
"Is there anything Captain Chen wouldn't consider?"
"Rest assured, Captain Chen won't be careless. We just need to wait. A clash between fighters of their caliber won't last long."
As they spoke, the personnel assigned by the Processing Bureau in the vicinity had already been notified and were keeping a close eye on the situation above.
Half an hour later, there was movement on the mountain path. Everyone looked towards the light screen and saw Chen Chuan and Zhang Cheng Huang descending together, with Zhang Cheng Huang slightly trailing behind.
There were no visible signs of struggle on their bodies, and their clothing remained intact without any tears. As they walked down, they continued their conversation, the atmosphere seemingly amiable, indicating that there had indeed been no fight.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, the two parted ways, and the crowd also witnessed Zhang Cheng Huang intentionally bowing to Chen Chuan before leaving alone.
Only then did Chen Chuan reactivate the interdimensional link and reestablish communication with the Processing Bureau.
Immediately, a staff member inquired, "Captain Chen, how is it? Are you doing well over there?"
Chen Chuan replied, "It's nothing. This Mr. Zhang Cheng Huang is not from the Ferris Wheel Corporation. He sought me out purely for a friendly sparring match between fighters."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm certain."
Words may deceive, but the mind cannot be fooled, unless one possesses a secret art capable of self-deception. However, such practices hold no value for fighters like them.
They remain vigilant at all times, even during friendly sparring, never giving their opponents an opportunity. One of their caliber would not overlook this fact.
After communicating with the bureau, Chen Chuan walked towards the Gader vehicle, opened the door, and got in. As he drove away, he glanced at Qingding Mountain, thinking it would be a suitable place for future sparring sessions.
At the same time, within the Ferris Wheel Corporation, the Security Director, Guan Shangjing, was also closely monitoring the battle. However, due to the field domain shielding by the Processing Bureau, the corporation couldn't view the situation, leaving them to await the outcome.
"Director, we have news!"
A security officer entered the office, and under the questioning gaze of Guan Shangjing, he excitedly reported, "We saw Zhang Cheng Huang leaving Qingding Mountain. Director, Zhang Cheng Huang is unharmed. Does that mean he won?"
Guan Shangjing toyed with a miniature bronze dog in his hand but refrained from jumping to conclusions. Instead, he said, "Let's wait for the news from the Processing 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 they had fought, the high probability was a friendly sparring match rather than the imagined life-or-death battle.
He was dissatisfied with the outcome but not overly disappointed. Zhang Cheng Huang was merely an unexpected factor, and they hadn't intended for him to kill Chen Chuan. Despite his fighting prowess, he was equally renowned for his laziness and caution.
His eyes gleamed with determination. Such matters still required their personal involvement, not relying on others.
He raised his head to look at the light screen on his desk, which displayed several rotating photographs.
These were individuals the Ferris Wheel Corporation needed to deal with, and only six remained. Two were in other central cities, and one was overseas, with agents already dispatched to handle them.
As none of these individuals were fighters, they only had some hired security, making the task less complicated, and the outcome was foreseeable.
The remaining three were Lei Guangcheng from the Review Bureau of the Secret Teachings Department, Chen Chuan, and Deng Xing, the former intelligence secretary of the corporation.
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 fortress-like, filled with hidden bunkers and lookout points. With over a thousand core members and more than ten thousand gathered there, it wasn't an easy target.
Previously, when the Swordfish Gang clashed with the Elephant Gang, they had tried to take advantage of the situation, but to no avail.
The Elephant Gang's upper echelon was entirely comprised of clan members, and as foreigners, they were highly cohesive in the face of adverse external conditions, making it extremely challenging for outsiders to infiltrate.
However, he had recently found a potential solution.
The Elephant Gang wasn't free of internal conflicts, but they were all suppressed by Tu Ge, the eldest of the Tu clan and the binding force among all clan members.
If Tu Ge were gone, the gang would be in turmoil.
Tu Ge, in his youth, had implanted numerous implants, requiring regular injections of large doses of anti-mutation drugs monthly. Recently, due to his advanced age, the anti-mutation reactions had intensified, and the required medication was beyond what the gang could provide. This was the opening they needed.
Guan Shangjing stared coldly at the remaining photographs on the screen and crushed the bronze dog in his hand with a forceful grip.
"The company's enemies must be eliminated!"
At this moment, in the Crystal District, the Elephant Gang was gathering.
Deng Xing suddenly felt her heart racing, and the vase in her hand slipped from her grasp, falling to the ground. The flowers and soil inside mixed together, scattering petals everywhere.
"Why are you so careless?"
Tu Nai walked over and asked with a hint of concern in his Great Shun dialect, "Are you hurt?"
Deng Xing suddenly turned around and hugged him, burying her head in his chest. With an anxious and panicked tone, she said, "We have to leave here, we have to leave..." Her emotions seemed unstable, and she repeated this several times.
Tu Nai felt his girlfriend's trembling body and looked at her helplessly. His girlfriend was great in every way, but she was always startled by the slightest thing. He gently touched her soft hair and comforted her, "I know you were scared before, but I told you, you don't have to be afraid living with the Elephant Gang. There's me inside, and outside, there's the fortress."
"We have our own guns, our own armed vehicles, our own trained fighters, and over ten thousand brothers. The Ferris Wheel Company can't get in here."
After comforting her for a while, he saw that Deng Xing had calmed down. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. "I have something to do. If you're bored, watch some shows or take a walk around the gang. I'll ask Ale to accompany you." As he spoke, he patted Deng Xing gently on the shoulder and left, throwing a protective gear over his shoulder as he walked out.
Deng Xing watched him leave, hugging her arms as she walked around the living room. She lived in a three-story mansion made of special bamboo wood, maintaining the multi-roofed style of the Sheni Peninsula. The mansion had intricate flower windows and bamboo carvings.
The house was brightly lit, and there were realm organisms below, with various combat creatures surrounding it. Tu Nai was very caring towards her, but she still felt insecure.
At this moment, the bamboo curtain at the door swayed. Despite it being spring, the March wind was slightly chilly, and she felt a chill seeping into her bones, as if numbing her.
She had a seemingly innate premonition ability. Whenever something bad was about to happen, this feeling would be particularly strong, and this was the reason she had always managed to escape pursuit.
It wasn't just her; her sister was the same, but her sister was already...
She sighed softly and stroked her arm.
"Meow..."
At this moment, a large cat jumped in front of her. Its grayish-white, long, and dense fur was incredibly soft. She picked it up and gently stroked it, and the cat purred, giving her a slight sense of reassurance.
At this moment, she thought of something. She opened the Interdimensional Link and accessed the Edge Channel, where they were discussing today's duel between Chen Chuan and Zhang Cheng. Below, the discussion thread was arguing whether the two had fought and who had won.
Ever since the Ferris Wheel Company's public apology on the public channel, she had been paying attention to Chen Chuan's movements. She knew that he was also one of the targets the Ferris Wheel Company wanted to deal with.
However, she also knew that even with the Ferris Wheel Company's apology, this wouldn't be the end. The Ferris Wheel Company never gave up on such targets.
She switched to the contact method of the Processing Bureau and wanted to connect, but hesitated for a moment and didn't press the button. Instead, she spoke to the Interdimensional Link, "Ale, help me find someone, the one from last time."
A young voice came from the Interdimensional Link, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you, but that's someone from the Processing Bureau. There are specialized Resonators responsible for interception. Last time, I almost got caught."
Deng Xing said, "Just find that Resonator. I want to talk to him."
"Sister, what do you want to do?"
Deng Xing said, "Don't ask too many questions. Didn't your brother tell you that Sister doesn't need to explain what she wants to do?"
"Okay, okay, Sister, don't get angry. Getting angry won't make you look pretty. I'll give it a try, but whether it works or not depends on others. Don't blame me if I can't contact him."
On the other side, Chen Chuan received a communication from the Blade Edge Corporation while returning to the dormitory. He was invited to visit the company regarding a matter related to Morning Crow, and it seemed there was some good news.
He immediately turned and headed towards the Dense Green District, arriving at the Wingblade Nest Company. He met with the director, Zhuang, who led him to the cultivation area.
"Mr. Chen, the plan is proceeding smoothly, even better than I expected. In just five days, alien organisms have grown from your pet's body."
Chen Chuan looked at Morning Crow through the light screen. At this moment, it was lying in a prepared nest, and its body seemed slightly larger than before, with more vibrant feathers covering it.
Director Zhuang said, "Mr. Chen's pet is very smart. I've handled many pets, but rarely have I seen one so intelligent. It's very cooperative with 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 alien organisms grew, the next step is to promote their growth, but the specific direction of growth needs confirmation from Mr. Chen."
Just as Chen Chuan was about to say something, a communication from Wu Bei came through the Interdimensional Link. He apologized and stepped aside, "Little Brother Wu, what's the matter?"
