[Our city's gold store robbery case has been solved!]
[According to the investigation by the Safety Bureau, Tian Heng Corporation has close ties with the recent gold store robbers. The two sides allegedly had a dispute over the division of stolen goods, leading to a gunfight, resulting in both parties' deaths.]
[After further investigation, the United Coalition found Tian Heng Corporation in violation of the city's regulations on articles 2, 5, and 13, which cover hiring assassins, bribery, and intentional injury. All shareholders of the company have been detained.]
On the bus, Chen Feng glanced at the news on his phone.
He was a bit surprised because he didn't see any information about him being wanted.
The report on the case also seed clearly off.
"The Safety Bureau is hiding the truth?"
His eyes lingered on words like "dispute over the division of stolen goods," and Chen Feng naturally understood that the two half-modified individuals he killed yesterday were part of that gang of robbers. Their appearance matched the sketches quite closely, but at that ti, he didn’t have the luxury of considering anything else, so he had to act quickly.
"So, the gang that robbed the gold store were actually Tian Heng's subordinates."
"But Tian Heng doesn't seem to be short on money. Why would he send people to rob a gold store?"
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. He felt sothing was off.
Tian Heng Corporation, the gold store, the Safety Bureau—these words flashed through his mind, along with the powerful silver-gray cyborg, who didn’t seem like soone Tian Heng could easily associate with.
After thinking for a while, he still couldn’t find an answer.
Finally, as the bus reached his stop, Chen Feng shook his head, pushed the thoughts aside for now, and got off.
Walking down the street, he soon entered the Fla Tiger martial arts hall.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were behind him, and one by one, students poured in.
“Did you hear, the boss of Tian Heng Corp was killed!”
“Who do you think did it?”
“You didn’t watch the news? It was the gang that robbed the gold store.”
The murmurs reached Chen Feng’s ears. He continued walking calmly, his face expressionless, betraying nothing suspicious.
Since the Safety Bureau was hiding his involvent, he was not stupid enough to expose himself.
What he needed to do was keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid exposure.
Soon, the sound of footsteps echoed. A few students in front of him stopped, feeling a slight darkness in their vision.
As they turned to look, they saw Chen Feng and instinctively stepped aside.
[Fear Value 1!]
The system prompt appeared, though the fear value was minimal, almost negligible.
Still, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow.
"What is everyone so afraid of?"
"Ha, you should bla yourself for smashing Wu Tian so hard yesterday," Lin Hao’s teasing voice ca from behind.
He approached Chen Feng with a smile, slapping his shoulder. “And, you know, a lot of people are aware of his background. They don’t want to get involved with you, so of course, they’re keeping their distance.”
Chen Feng turned his head to look at Lin Hao, who was dressed in a loose gray sports shirt and shorts, seemingly amused by the situation.
Chen Feng remained expressionless and asked bluntly, "What about you then?"
"? To it doesn’t matter. If it gets too bad, I’ll just stop practicing martial arts," Lin Hao shrugged, unconcerned.
Martial arts were just a hobby for him, and the worst-case scenario was that he'd leave in disgrace if he couldn't make it here.
Chen Feng’s gaze softened, but before he could speak further, Lin Hao leaned in close and quietly whispered, “I heard the real killer is soone else—a cyborg. And so forces are looking for him, apparently to avenge the robbers.”
Lin Hao gave Chen Feng a aningful look before turning toward the locker room.
Chen Feng stood still for a mont, several thoughts flashing in his mind.
The gang that robbed the gold store? Hadn’t they all been killed?
Could it be…?
His gaze shifted as he rembered the silver-gray cyborg, he encountered the day before while leaving the Tian Heng building.
The person had a round pattern on their left chest.
It seed familiar, but he had been too exhausted yesterday to think it through properly.
Now, he took out his phone, searched for related images, and after a mont, his eyes sharpened.
“Utopia.”
No wonder it seed familiar; that was the logo of the Utopia organization.
It was a symbol often seen on wanted posters within the borders of the Red Nation.
Imdiately, everything fell into place.
Chen Feng quickly understood what Lin Hao ant.
Utopia was looking for him.
Or more precisely, they were looking for him in his Azure Armor form.
“Looks like I need to avoid using Azure Armor form for a while,” he mused quietly.
After a mont, he checked the ti, realizing it was getting late, and went to the locker room to change clothes.
"Strengthen the tiger’s stance, when still be like a crouching tiger, when moving be like the flying tiger."
"Understanding the true aning of the Red Tiger’s form will guide you to harness all your energy, strengthening your flesh, muscles, bones, and organs."
In the training room, sunlight stread through the windows. Cao Tong arrived on ti and began instructing the students.
So students were either standing still or throwing punches, and while so were slowly grasping the basics, only two or three had mastered the Tiger form.
Cao Tong’s eyes fell on Chen Feng and Wu Tian.
After yesterday's incident, he had inquired about their friction. Fortunately, it seed to be just a rivalry, nothing serious.
Even though Wu Tian’s Senior Sister had taken good care of Wu Tian, she couldn’t do much to prevent the conflict.
Looking over at Chen Feng practicing alone in the corner, surrounded by students keeping their distance, Cao Tong shook his head but couldn’t help but admire Chen Feng more.
He didn’t waste any ti.
In front of everyone, he waved at Chen Feng to co over.
“Brother Cao?”
Chen Feng asked in confusion.
“Follow .”
Cao Tong said, leading Chen Feng out of the training room.
Seeing this, Lin Hao frowned, and many nearby students stopped their practices.
“What’s going on?”
“Could it be because of Wu Tian?”
“Is Cao Tong warning Chen Feng?”
Many whispered, and Lin Hao looked over, noticing Wu Tian and Pei Yue standing near the window, also stopping their practice.
“Looks like even Coach Cao isn’t willing to offend Wu Shuang,” Pei Yue thought to himself, while Wu Tian narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
“My aunt doesn’t know about this,” he muttered, rubbing his left cheek, still feeling so lingering pain.
He had lost two teeth and the mory still felt like a disgrace.
Despite his anger at Chen Feng, he didn’t feel the need to report it to an elder.
So, he didn’t understand why Cao Tong would take Chen Feng away alone.
There couldn’t possibly be sothing good coming from this, right?
