Dawn of a New Era
Chapter 121: Bloody Wind
CHAPTER 121: CHAPTER 121: BLOODY WIND
The powerful physique of 14.6 gave him extraordinary eyesight, and his retinas were more sensitive to light, so as long as there was the slightest glimmer, day and night were almost indistinguishable to him.
The other two he didn’t recognize, but that square-faced man, he had seen before.
Seeing this person, he still felt a bit shocked and incredulous.
This was a high-profile big shot, a prominent figure in Hedong City and even Jiangnan Province.
Yet unexpectedly, even he was a member of the Pantheon.
But at this moment, Chen Shouyi felt no sense of admiration.
"Kill me?"
"Then let’s see if you have the strength to do so!"
He exerted great control over his murderous intent, now was not the time to act; facing three clearly Martial Artist Level strongmen, he had no confidence at all. Moreover, the bald captain might be even stronger.
No rush at this moment!
The Pantheon members did not linger long, they slightly cleaned up the traces and each picked up a piece of the corpse, walked into the dark construction site, soon a black business car sped out.
In a flash, it disappeared into the distance.
More than an hour later, feeling that quite some time had passed and the opponent shouldn’t return, Chen Shouyi finally emerged from the darkness, glancing at the abandoned taxi nearby.
Only then did he notice that this car didn’t have a license plate.
A chill crossed his mind:
"My social experience is still far too lacking, I haven’t seen much of the sinister nature of humanity, fooled out by a phone call like an idiot."
"But it’s alright! Everything will pay the price for it."
Next, Chen Shouyi took out his wallet and keys from his pocket, tore his blood-stained clothes to pieces, threw them on the car hood, removed his shoes, and then cleaved open the fuel tank with a sword. The sword cut through the metal, sparking a dazzling burst, and the gasoline ignited with a ’boom’, flames soared three or four meters high.
Chen Shouyi stepped back, quickly turning to leave.
Passing through a village on the way, he quietly took a set of clothes similar to his size and left a thousand yuan as compensation.
...
It was already two in the morning, vehicles were sparse on the suburban road, and there wasn’t a single taxi in sight. Probably because he was holding a sword, several cabs accelerated past without stopping despite his attempts to flag them down.
During this time, he even took several wrong turns.
When Chen Shouyi finally sat in a taxi and arrived at the neighborhood, it was already seven the next morning.
Before entering the neighborhood, he scanned the nearby surveillance and, sure enough, they had all been destroyed.
One learns from experience; before, he wouldn’t have paid attention to such details at all.
"Senior, are you back from exercise?"
As Chen Shouyi walked into the residence building, Song Tingting came out of the elevator. She wore a school uniform and carried a backpack, obviously headed to class, her slightly chubby face carried a hint of shyness, with a gentle and lovely demeanor.
"Hmm, morning." Chen Shouyi nodded expressionlessly, not feeling like talking.
"Senior, were the grapes tasty yesterday?" Song Tingting asked softly, looking up shyly.
"Hmm, they were quite tasty!" Chen Shouyi replied politely.
"Oh, then I won’t bother you. Goodbye, senior, I’m off to class." Song Tingting said, turning to leave the residential building, her steps turned into a slight bounce like a joyous lark among the branches.
...
As Chen Shouyi opened the door and entered the bedroom, he had imagined countless scenarios.
For instance, the Shell Lady might have fallen asleep on her own, or perhaps staying up sleepless with worry about not finding him. Or maybe...
But out of all his guesses, he never imagined this situation.
When he took out the key and opened the bedroom door.
To his surprise, she was still watching cartoons, not even sitting on the bed but on the computer desk, her eyes fixed on the screen without blinking, not even noticing his presence.
Just at this moment, an episode of the cartoon was nearing its end.
Chen Shouyi’s expression was gloomy, silently standing behind her, wanting to see how she had managed to watch all night.
A few seconds later, when the cartoon finally ended, the Shell Lady quickly stood up, and her tiny body grabbed the large mouse beside her, eyes still fixed on the screen while her legs kicked busily.
The mouse cursor on the screen darted up and down, left and right, taking quite a while to align with the next episode.
Then, her small hands furiously hit the mouse button.
Quite capable indeed!
Learned quickly, could already click to watch cartoons by herself.
Seeing this, Chen Shouyi’s anger boiled up, just as the Shell Lady was about to sit down, he scooped her up.
The Shell Lady screamed in fright, struggling desperately, her body flailing like a salted eel, but soon recognized it was Chen Shouyi, and her courage immediately returned.
"Giant, let me go." She said angrily.
"Tell me how long you’ve been watching, go to bed immediately!"
The Shell Lady seemed to know she was in the wrong, stopped struggling, huffed and turned her head away: "You are a bad giant, fine, sleep it is."
After feeding her honey, Chen Shouyi put her in the briefcase and zipped it up.
Then, he sat at the computer desk, dazed for a while, suddenly picking up the phone and quickly dialing a number.
"Hello, is this Liaison Bai?"
"You’re looking for Xiao Ling, I’ll call her right away!" The person answering seemed to be her mom.
Half a minute later, the phone had already switched to Bai Xiaoling.
"Hello, Advisor Chen, sorry for just brushing my teeth, are you looking for me to use the car?"
Chen Shouyi paused, speaking: "No, just wanted to remind you, I’m heading out today, you don’t need to follow me."
...
After hanging up the phone, Chen Shouyi pondered, initially considering reporting the big shot, but after thinking it over, decided against it.
He simply had no evidence, might even be counterattacked.
In fact, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Chen Shouyi wouldn’t believe that such a high-ranking Martial Artist would collude with the Pantheon!
But this was also good, at least he wouldn’t alert them. If they escaped, the consequences would be endless; he had family, not alone, he didn’t want an enemy like a venomous snake constantly haunting him.
Only dead enemies are the best enemies.
As for Lu Weifeng...
A chill once again brushed his thoughts.
Chen Shouyi stood up, started packing, here was no longer safe to stay for the short term.
Perhaps when he walked into the residential area, he had already been exposed.
Yet, with the Shell Lady still at home, he had no choice but to risk returning.
...
He walked out of the neighborhood, taking winding detours through alleys; when people were around, he walked normally, but when alone, he traversed roofs and walls, easily leaping over common two- or three-story buildings. With his strength far exceeding an ordinary Martial Artist, the Martial Artist Level power, it was impossible to track him.
Half an hour later, Chen Shouyi entered a hotel.
