Chapter 786: Holding Power and Smooth Sailing
Chapter 786: Holding Power and Smooth Sailing
At noon, Chen Chuan effortlessly erased the rift, and over the past period, he had not only absorbed a certain amount of spiritual energy but also encountered three things that had come from the other side.
However, their levels were not high, and he easily dealt with them. Only the first one he encountered left behind something valuable; the others were insignificant. It seemed that the first one he met was indeed a rare breed.
But it was understandable. After all, he had only opened a minuscule breach, and only near the World Ring would there likely be enough of such things.
Chen Chuan collected the remains and placed them in his bag. He opened the cabin door and said to the old captain, who had been on duty all night, "You've worked hard."
After a night of vigilance, the old captain still looked full of energy. "It's not hard work, Mr. Chen. I heard from the company that we should teach those people from the Linakses Federation a lesson."
Chen Chuan pondered for a moment and understood his meaning. Did he think Chen Chuan was intentionally targeting the Linakses Federation's fighter?
However, without knowing the inside story, it wasn't strange to think that way.
Soon after the airship returned to the port, his Border Token regained signal contact. As he stepped off the airship, a communication signal appeared on the Border Token. The contact was Huang Weiyi, the agent who had played a role in the investigation of the Li Wei Heavy Industry incident and had been satisfactory in his work. Huang Weiyi was also quite considerate, and he had come to find Chen Chuan at this time...
Chen Chuan tapped the Border Token and connected the call.
"Mr. Huang, is there something I can help you with?"
A surprised and delighted voice came from the other end, "Mr. Chen, you remember me, Huang Weiyi. I'm contacting you because I was once a client who collaborated with you. So, someone has asked me to deliver a message to you.
I'm just the messenger, and I know I'm not qualified to speak with you. Please don't take offense; I'm just a small fry."
Chen Chuan said, "Get to the point."
"Yes, yes," Huang Weiyi replied. "It's like this. A big shot, someone as important as you, has asked me to pass on a message. He wants to meet with you." As he spoke, a message was immediately sent over.
Chen Chuan took a look. The sender introduced himself as a member of the Refinement Sect and suggested meeting at the rest area of the White Hall Inspection Station in the west of the city.
At the end of the communication, there was a fighter's exclusive seal, which Chen Chuan recognized. Each fighter had a unique seal, and the name on this one was... Long Xiang.
A fighter from the Refinement Sect?
It seemed that the Municipal Parliament had sent him.
However, the sender's words were polite and lacked any aggression. By specifically using Huang Weiyi as the messenger and arranging the meeting outside the city, he was implying that he was not representing the Municipal Parliament but meeting Chen Chuan as a third party.
Chen Chuan considered for a moment and told Huang Weiyi, "I understand, Mr. Huang. You're no longer involved in this matter."
Huang Weiyi was relieved and quickly said goodbye before ending the communication with humility.
After getting into the car, Chen Chuan opened the communication signal. Once connected, he said, "Mr. Long?"
The other end burst into hearty laughter, followed by a calm and deep voice, "It's me, Long Xiang. Hello, Mr. Chen."
The laughter followed by the deep voice made it seem like the person on the other end had a mental issue. But Chen Chuan remained composed. In the fourth limit, some people had to abandon certain things or embrace others, and the more they expressed it, the greater the power feedback they received. Chen Chuan understood this.
Long Xiang continued, his tone relaxed and without any tension, "I'm here at the invitation of the Municipal Parliament, and I'm sure you can guess their intentions, Mr. Chen.
But honestly, I don't think this is the best solution. I also support your pursuit of those who have wronged you.
However, I still need to support the interests of my sect. So, I'd like to meet with you, Mr. Chen. I'll share my thoughts, and you can choose to listen or not. It's up to you."
Chen Chuan considered for a moment and said, "I'm free now. I'll be there soon."
"Haha... Great, I'll wait for you here, Mr. Chen."
After ending the call, Chen Chuan made a turn in his Gader Car and headed west towards the National Highway.
The conversation between the two was relaxed, but in contrast, almost all the forces in the central city were anxiously watching this upcoming meeting.
The members of the Municipal Parliament, watching the domain screen, saw Chen Chuan heading west and seemed to have agreed to the meeting, feeling slightly relieved.
One of the parliament members couldn't help but sigh, "If only we had our fighter."
However, no one in the room responded. Cultivate their own fighter?
(End of Chapter 786)
How could that be possible? After a fighter becomes a fighter-master, could they still have their position?
That was an uncontrollable power, and uncontrollable power was not a power. They would rather use money and technology to cultivate obedient and useful active consciousness entities. And it was precisely because they didn't have a fighter-master that they could easily obtain the support of the Union.
A parliamentarian said, "Let's be patient. The Union has promised to support our active consciousness entities, which are already being cultivated. Let's take a step back and wait out this period. Once we get through this, we can return to the negotiation table."
As Chen Chuan traveled, he noticed that the vehicles on the road suddenly became scarce, and as he continued, the road ahead was almost devoid of any cars, making it look desolate.
This was probably because the Government Hall knew he was going to meet with Long Xiang, so they made some adjustments and controls to the traffic.
Looking at the road that seemed to stretch to the horizon and the towering buildings on both sides, at this moment, he felt as if the entire city had only him left, and he had detached himself from the hustle and bustle of the city.
In a sense, it was indeed the case.
He stepped on the accelerator, increasing the speed of the vehicle. However, he couldn't help but think that if he were driving the Silver Lightning at this moment, would it feel more real?
With the traffic lights all green, he crossed two districts in just over an hour and arrived at the National Highway in the west.
After driving for another ten minutes, he reached the White Hall Checkpoint on the western edge of Zhongxincheng.
In a 6-1-9-1-bar-1-look-1-no-1-wrong-version!
A car was already parked there, and a middle-aged man with sunglasses and a stern expression was patiently waiting.
The Gader car stopped about a hundred meters away, and Chen Chuan got out, adjusted his hat brim, and walked towards the man.
The patrol cars and guards near the checkpoint had disappeared at some point, and the empty road seemed to have only the two of them.
As Chen Chuan approached, Long Xiang took off his sunglasses, revealing deep black eyes and fine black scales around his eye sockets. He actively restrained his bio field and extended his hand, laughing heartily before quickly turning it into a smile, "Hello, Chen Supervisor. I'm Long Xiang, a member of the Pure School."
Chen Chuan also restrained his bio field and shook his hand, "Chen Chuan, from the Pure School."
Long Xiang smiled and said, "Chen Supervisor, I came here only to act as a bridge for communication. Since they have offended you, it's only natural for you to retaliate. The Municipal Parliament has realized their mistake, and they want to give you a chance to make amends.
I won't beat around the bush. Let me tell you about the compensation they're willing to offer. To make up for the losses to the Handling Bureau and Chen Supervisor's personal reputation, they're willing to unconditionally provide you with resources for your cultivation for a period of time."
Chen Chuan looked at him. As long as the Government Hall didn't block his path, he wasn't interested in dealing with them. Even if he had to take action, it wouldn't be now; instead, he needed to wait for an opportunity.
In fact, if the Government Hall really wanted him to confront the Municipal Parliament, they would have to provide him with certain resources to compensate for the energy consumption that might occur during the process.
Since the Government Hall didn't have this idea now, Chen Chuan wouldn't rush to act on their behalf. And since the Municipal Parliament was willing to compensate him, he wouldn't refuse.
Principal Yao wanted him to stabilize himself and get what he could. This was essentially what he meant.
He asked, "How long is 'a period of time'?"
Long Xiang laughed, "That depends on the level of threat you pose, Chen. If your threat isn't as significant as they imagined, I think they might not be willing to give too much. But if your threat far exceeds their expectations, they might continue to push down their original psychological bottom line.
You might be wondering why I'm telling you all this?
Well, although there are quite a few of our people in the Municipal Parliament, it won't affect the share I'm entitled to. Instead, I might have to deal with you frequently in the future, and I think it's more convenient for us to be honest with each other. It can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and conflict."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I'd like to ask, how do you measure this so-called threat?"
Long Xiang burst out laughing and then sighed, "This is the part I don't like, but it's a task assigned to me by the sect. I have to do it. I think we can resolve this issue through a fight. Rest assured, all the losses between us will be borne by the Municipal Parliament.
If you win, the Municipal Parliament is willing to provide resources for your cultivation for the next three years.
If you lose, the Municipal Parliament is still willing to compensate you for one year's worth of cultivation needs. During this time, please refrain from interfering in any matters related to the Parliament, of course, on the premise that they don't infringe upon your personal interests first. Chen Supervisor, what do you think of these terms?"
