Chapter 841: The Past Unveiled
Chapter 841: The Past Unveiled
As Chen Chuan gazed at the vial of serum in the chest, he remained seated, his eyes fixed on it. The liquid inside began to rise on its own, floating upwards.
He Zhi Lan and He Ru Hai, siblings from the He family, looked on in astonishment. They had never witnessed such a scene before, but they assumed it must be a capability possessed by martial artists.
At that moment, fine cracks appeared on the glass tube, but no sound escaped. The liquid inside transformed into thin strands of blue mist, gradually dissipating.
In the past, Chen Chuan would have needed to absorb the serum internally, but now, he didn't require that. He could directly use his bio field domain to envelop and assimilate the serum into his body.
Closing his eyes, as he absorbed the serum, scenes and images flashed before his eyes, as if he had personally experienced them.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, and within them, a faint glimmer shone.
Was this it...
No wonder those subsequent events had occurred.
This memory serum was a crucial part of the past events, but with a twist—it was left behind by his father.
With this, he had almost pieced together the cause and effect of the entire incident, connecting events from over a decade ago, or even twenty years ago, into a coherent whole.
The disappearance of his parents was indeed not an accident; it was directly and deeply connected to the Origin Human Corporation. The key figure in this was Gao Yuling.
Who could have foreseen that Gao Yuling, who seemed unremarkable among his generation, would hold such significant importance within the Origin Human Corporation? Chen Chuan's parents had been drawn into this, either actively or passively, because of this individual.
If no one pursued this matter, it might have ended there. But he would not let it rest.
Furthermore, this led to another realization. Perhaps the recent events targeting him were related to this. If so, it might have been triggered by his appearance, causing those behind the scenes to associate him with something, and thus, they had acted again.
Seeing that Chen Chuan had been silent for a long time, He Zhi Lan asked with concern, "Xiao Chuan, are you okay?"
Chen Chuan turned to her and said, "I'm fine. I've learned the basic situation, thanks to both of you seniors."
"It's nothing. I'm glad we could help you."
He Zhi Lan explained, "We have a close relationship with Zhen Senior Sister. She rarely hides anything from us, so we know a bit about the situation and that she was involved in an incident.
That day, she sent this chest over and asked us to keep it safe for her. She said someone would come to retrieve it and asked us to avoid contacting her during that time."
He Ru Hai added, "Later, we thought that Zhen Senior Sister might have anticipated something. This chest was probably meant for you, and we could guess that her disappearance was related to someone. We were worried that you might act impulsively after learning the truth, so we wanted to advise you earlier. But since you're a martial artist, it's a realm we can't comprehend, so we won't bother with these unnecessary actions."
"Yes, and also, Xiao Chuan, wait a moment." He Zhi Lan returned upstairs and brought down a letter, "This is the letter Zhen Senior Sister sent. She rarely asks for favors, so we thought this was important and kept it safe."
Chen Chuan took the letter, which was printed in Zhen's style. However, He Zhi Lan inadvertently revealed the truth—the one who sent the serum was not his mother, but his father, Chen Qiyang, and it was done in Zhen's name without her knowledge.
This included the red serum, the password locks, and everything else, which were all arranged by Chen Qiyang. Zhen was unaware of these actions; she only left behind that one memory serum.
He Ru Hai continued, "Later, we waited for a long time but received no news from Zhen Senior Sister. Coincidentally, a fellow disciple we were close with from the Holdrog Confederation sent a letter asking for help. So, we decided to go there to assist."
He sighed, "We originally planned to return after the matter was resolved and teach you. Unfortunately, we encountered a corporate war between confederations. By the time we arrived, that fellow disciple and his entire family had been killed. We investigated and took revenge on the murderer."
"But that person had a powerful background. His half-brother was a high-ranking executive in a major company. Since then, we've been hunted by that company. They also have considerable influence in the country, so we've been hiding abroad all these years. It's only this year, with the Canglong Corporation and Oceanic Expansion Corporation occupying the Outer Ocean, a place beyond the reach of that power, that we've returned."
He looked at Chen Chuan with apology, "Not being able to teach you is our greatest regret."
"Yes, Xiao Chuan, I'm sorry," He Zhi Lan added, feeling guilty, "Zhen Senior Sister and her husband are both gone, and we couldn't help you."
Chen Chuan shook his head. "I don't blame either of you."
From the memory serum, he learned that his parents' request for them to be his teachers was just a casual suggestion, not a solemn promise. Even if they hadn't come, it wouldn't have mattered, especially considering their circumstances.
Chen Chuan looked at the two of them, "You two haven't been back to Daxun for a long time, right? I still have many things I want to ask you about. I came here by airship, why don't you come back with me?"
The He siblings exchanged glances, and He Zhi Lan said, "Xiao Chuan, thank you. We know you want to take care of us, but compared to the hardships you've endured, we've been doing quite well these years, even though we're abroad. Plus, we have many students to teach here."
He Ru Hai added, "The students on the island have limited opportunities, so we teach them combat techniques, which gives them a chance. The Oceanic Expansion Corporation has also reached out to us, providing financial support. This way, we can ensure that we finish what we start here."
Chen Chuan nodded, respecting their decision.
At this moment, He Zhi Lan said, "Xiao Chuan, are you planning to return so soon? Stay for a couple of days. Although this place is remote, the fruits produced on the island are delicious, and the locals are very warm and hospitable. Also, I haven't seen Teacher Fang for a long time. Can you tell me about Teacher Fang's current situation?"
Chen Chuan readily agreed, and although he had memories of the past, there were still many details he wanted to learn from the two of them. He also wanted to find out more about the company that was after them.
On the west coast of Linaks, a massive cruise ship sailed on the sea, flanked by two warships and followed by three combat airships and a signal airship above.
In the luxurious main cabin of the cruise ship, a meticulously dressed man sat there, wearing the attire of the Eastern Continent and maintaining the demeanor of a scholar from the old era.
His appearance seemed young, but his eyes held a depth that belied his youthful looks, and on his neck, one could barely make out the implantation line.
In front of him were Chen Chuan's photos and his previous resume. He had seen the photos before, but each time he looked at them, he felt...
He murmured, "Too similar."
He picked up the resume and read the description. Becoming a fighter at an age of less than twenty was not unheard of, but it was certainly not something an ordinary person could achieve.
He stared at the photo, his voice low, "That bloodline... must not be allowed to remain in this world." Whether he was right or wrong in his guess, even the slightest possibility was unacceptable.
At this moment, a faint blue light flashed in his eyes, and a voice from outside contacted him. He lifted his head and said, "Mr. Xiang, how do you feel?"
The Boundary Token across from him spoke, "I've reviewed the records, and he's indeed not simple. However, he should have just entered the threshold of becoming a fighter, and there's a difference between fighters. Some boundaries are difficult to cross, and there are gaps that are hard to overcome. If it were a face-to-face situation, I'd be confident in taking him down."
The man said, "But you can't act. As soon as you show yourself, Daxun will surely keep an eye on you, and they'll know it's the company's doing."
The person on the other side said, "So, I plan to engage a professional. I've found a suitable person, Calvino Noche, an internationally renowned cleaner."
The man asked, "Is he capable?"
"This person has considerable strength and extensive assassination experience. His oath is to kill one fighter every year. If he fails, he dies. So, even if he fails, it has nothing to do with the company. If he succeeds, it saves us the trouble."
"Is there a specific arrangement?"
"Yes, I can't possibly act in the central city, and the target holds a position. Doing so would be a provocation to Daxun, so we can only act when he goes to Fusion Land."
The man said, "I heard your previous plan to track his movements didn't succeed?"
"That's right. The target is more cautious than we imagined. Fortunately, the company has other collaborators there, and their desire to kill this person is even stronger than ours. This time, they'll cooperate with us. As long as there's an opportunity, our arranged person can act."
The man said, "I hope to receive your good news soon, and also..." He emphasized, "I want only you to know about this matter."
The voice on the other side paused for a moment before responding, "Okay, Mr. Gao."
