"Vice Chairman Luo!"
"Welco back, Vice Chairman Luo!!"
"Vice Chairman Luo, you must be tired!"
Voices rang out as if pre-arranged, erging continuously from the surrounding crowd.
Respectful, flattering, ingratiating....
Mixed emotions blended with the rain, under the drizzling, misty sky, Luo Wantao was surrounded by security and his umbrella-holding secretary, glancing at the respectful group of council mbers coming towards him.
"Who arranged this?"
He asked calmly, his voice cold.
Everyone was taken aback, a middle-aged council mber opened his mouth, his cautious expression caught everyone’s eye.
"Don’t let there be a next ti."
His cold words landed, the other party panicked, then hurriedly nodded.
And so, this group of people enveloped Luo Wantao and walked into the building, while the warned figure, ignoring his embarrassnt, hastily ran to catch up.
But soon, surprisingly.
After entering the building, one of the accompanying strong security personnel stopped, turning to look at the group.
"Chairman Luo is a bit tired."
"Please have Wu Chijiang stay, everyone else, please leave first."
Despite the calm tone, though everyone was montarily stunned, no discontent was shown.
Instead, they watched variously at the man who managed to pass by the other’s obstruction.
A black trench coat with a white shirt inside, a black tie.
Height of 1.9 ters, slender physique, slicked-back hairstyle.
"Indeed, Wu Zong now deeply trusts Vice Chairman Luo."
"Truly worthy of Wu Chijiang."
"Hehe, presumably for that matter... "
Soft discussions quietly rose, Wu Chijiang paid no mind but quickened his steps, arriving at the elevator door in the building, half a body behind Luo Wantao.
Ding!
The elevator doors opened, he followed him inside.
Witnessing this, those outside the building expressed different emotions, so sighed and shook their heads, others departed in disappointnt.
Without caring about the outside world, Luo Wantao stood in the elevator, feeling the center of gravity sink as the elevator ascended.
"Talk, how’s it going?"
"We’ve found clues, the other party likely left from South District No. 27 Street, a shop awaiting renovation."
"There’s a sewer passage there, probably an underground tunnel left from thirty years ago, when Yun Gang completed the construction of Central City, it’s not in the city defense plan drawings."
Wu Chijiang said seriously, his face sowhat solemn.
He increasingly felt that Luo Hui’s death wasn’t simple, so major forces might be involved behind it.
Otherwise, whether it’s evading Heavenly Eye investigations, or this tunnel not on city defense drawings, they’re not things common people can access.
"Tell your opinion."
The elevator kept rising, Luo Wantao spoke without turning his head, just quietly looking at the single transparent elevator door in front of him, overlooking the entire Yun Gang Outer City.
Everything was getting higher, as if it could rise indefinitely, touch the sky, gaze at the azure ocean.
"I’ve checked into those few large groups, especially that ng Anran."
"The Heavenly Eye System was accessed by hackers the sa night, though the backend data was deleted, we still found traces, later investigation linked it to Black Crystal Group."
"Sky Shield Heavy Industry also had corresponding situations, but they resolutely denied, only claiming to be hacker attacks...."
With a serious expression, Wu Chijiang explained seriously: "During interrogation, these people all repeatedly denied, especially ng Anran, who was taken away by King City Flying General’s people."
"Initially, I didn’t find anything suspicious, but then reflecting, this person has always been calm and thorough, if she really did it, she shouldn’t have left clues connecting to Black Crystal Group."
"So, you think it’s not her doing?"
Luo Wantao squinted his eyes as the elevator door opened.
The group walked out of the elevator, as he also asked about Sky Shield Heavy Industry.
"The person at Sky Shield Heavy Industry was only loud but weak inside, wouldn’t dare to act so decisively."
"Besides, sotis what seems impossible is highly possible, either soone is framing ng Anran, or she’s intentionally leaving flaws, covering for others."
Wu Zong stated seriously, Luo Wantao’s footsteps paused as he was about to enter the room.
Various security personnel surrounded him, the secretary ahead maintained the door-opening posture.
Outside the hallway windows, drones patrolled watchfully, amidst the faint buzzing, the world seed quiet.
"Then start with her."
In a deep voice, Wu Chijiang felt sowhat troubled.
"Ever since Wang Feijiang returned from Suo Jia City, he’s stayed in Yun Gang."
"What do you think...."
Everyone in Yun Gang knew he had received much help from ng Anran, now as Flying General’s status rises, who dares offend him?
"I’ll find a way, Chi General Guard isn’t only him as Flying General."
"Besides, if it’s really Black Crystal Group covering for soone, who do you think is the most suspect?"
The tone was calm, the authority remained.
Wu Chijiang hesitated for a mont and uttered a na.
...
Crunch!
The door to the Quiet Room opened and then closed again.
Amidst the hot steam, a fragrant aroma filled the air. Chen Feng walked into the adjacent room and, as usual, finished his breakfast with hot porridge.
Disciples of the Martial Arts Hall were responsible for clearing away the dishes, and a faint stream of heat surged in. While it didn’t have much effect, Chen Feng persisted in this routine.
Day after day, over a long period.
Relying on Essence Items for enhancent, conserving just a bit of the Breakthrough can be enough.
Thinking of this, he looked at the panel before him.
[Holy Fla Awakening thod: Fourth Rank (53%)]
With four High Order Life Potions, the progress had only increased by nearly half.
Ordinary people might be disappointed, but Chen Feng was even more eager.
The reason lay in the numbers below.
[Strength: 61.2→63.2]
[Agility: 47.6→50.1]
[Constitution: 63.9→66.4]
[Will: 66.4→68.4]
Even with the sa rank transition, the Four-dinsional attributes had increased by a full nine points, demonstrating its powerful effect, far surpassing the previous Primordial Seed Awakening thod.
Apart from this.
Buzz!
The Heavenly Fla Power flowed out, wrapping around his palm like actual Red Flas.
Upon closer inspection, a faint gold hue was visible, giving it a divine and majestic appearance.
"Almost there."
Chen Feng felt a small incrent in his Martial Arts aspect, seemingly ready to step into the Strong Fifth Order at any mont.
Not just in physique, but his power had also undergone so subtle changes.
Not surprising, since this is the Sixth-Order Awakening thod. Even just half of the volu has high quality.
Far surpassing the Heavenly Fla Strength of the Fla Tiger Sect, even the Martial Arts True Skill of the Northern Sacred Sect cannot compare.
"Considering this, if following previous circumstances..."
"The enhancent of the Awakening thod is closely related to my Martial Arts realm. Even without Breakthrough, I should be able to continuously improve until I reach the Fifth Order Holy Fla."
"Then, the only thing lacking is Essence Items."
With clear thoughts, Chen Feng retracted the circling Red Fla Power.
He knew that Advanced Life Potions were difficult to obtain; this isn’t a problem money can solve.
In consideration, he planned to try using his status as a mber later, to see if he could get so information from Chu Shihong or find another channel.
Additionally, he thought of sothing else.
"Snake Spirit Fruit..."
He instinctively looked at the snake pattern on his palm, still sensing the aura of the Snake Spirit Secret Realm and the small stone statue.
Oddly, he suddenly felt that the Snake-man Tribe wasn’t without significance.
At least, growing Snake Spirit Trees and cultivating Snake Spirit Fruits for him was one of the values.
With these thoughts clear, he then instructed the small stone statue to communicate with Molly and others, trying to obtain a map of the Snake Spirit Continent regarding various Snake-man Tribes.
Furthermore, he retrieved his phone and sent a micro-chat to Chu Shihong, inquiring about the Life Potion matter.
Buzz Buzz!
Soon, the phone vibrated, a ssage replied.
[Chu Shihong: The City Association has a certain quota of Advanced Life Potions every year; the specific distribution is determined by the votes of the mbers and contributions of that year.]
[The mber Code has relevant regulations, you may want to check them.]
Chu Shihong patiently sent a paragraph of text, reminding Chen Feng that on the day he attended the eting at the Union Building, he received corresponding docunts.
Then, before he could look up the regulations and explanations.
Chu Shihong sent another ssage.
[Chu Shihong: Luo River City Association has investigated and confird that the factory explosion and residential building fire cases have traces of the Snake Spirit Sect behind them.]
[They suspect it to be the return of the Snake Spirit Sect once eradicated in Nanjiang, and have agreed to our cooperation request.]
[Do you confirm your participation in this matter?]
Chen Feng’s gaze sharpened, not forgetting his previous stance at the City Association.
The Second-ti Dream of the Snake Spirit Secret Realm requires the Snake Spirit Power; although he doesn’t lack it for now, it’s good to be prepared.
He promptly gave an affirmative reply and ended the chat with Chu Shihong.
Exiting the micro-chat interface, he slid the phone screen.
But soon, his perception was stirred.
The movent to check the mailbox files quietly stopped, and the long-lost aura appeared again.
Like a Snake Spirit, as if a revenant, and also a calamity...
A peculiar sense of probing, he turned to look out of the Martial Arts Hall window, his eyes narrowed.
