CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 187: CHI GENERAL GUARD, I HATE FIGHTING AND KILLING THE MOST_2

No one was turned away, as long as there was no enmity.

Because of this, the life seed grew again, and Chen Feng could perceive that the flame in his abdomen had grown significantly.

"Shouldn’t it be difficult for other humans cultivating the Life Seed Awakening Method in the Serpent Spirit World to break through so quickly?"

With a thoughtful glance, Chen Feng leaned back in the leather chair, somewhat puzzled.

He hadn’t used any Breakthrough on this skill, yet this Primordial Seed Awakening Technique seemed to have no bottleneck in him.

As if as long as there was enough Essence Supplement, he could keep improving.

"Perhaps it’s because of my martial arts realm?"

"So before breaking through the Fourth Rank, there might not be too many bottlenecks...."

Not just a groundless speculation, Chen Feng carefully sensed and could feel the subtle changes in the power within his body.

Heavenly Flame Strength.

The Martial Arts True Skill was perfect, supposed to come to a halt, reaching its limit.

Yet, as a result of the growth of Primordial Energy, it had strengthened by several degrees.

This confirmed the guess in his mind.

He even suspected that once the Primordial Seed Awakening Technique broke through to the Fourth Rank, his Heavenly Flame Technique would receive even stronger feedback.

Immediately, he did not delve further.

All the way without a word, the middle-aged driver was an employee of the Martial Arts Hall arranged by Li Shi, reliable in his work, and did not disturb midway.

In the passenger seat sat Cao Tong in a black winter coat. He had taken some time to return to the Mountain Gate in the past two days, and today, coincidentally intended to go down the mountain, just right along the way.

The car was silent until, at last, rows of high-rise buildings rose on both sides.

Entering the city, Chen Feng saw the light sign at the top of a tall building.

[Black Crystal Group]

Located in the city center, the skyscraper with floor-to-ceiling windows was paved everywhere, reflecting sunlight like waves.

Neon projections hovered in mid-air, with flying cars passing overhead, their advertisement images continuously flickering.

[Transformations, Enhancing Potions, Modeling Crafts.....]

"The City Association used to prohibit such things from being traded in Nanjiang, but now... it seems all has been opened up,"

Cao Tong sighed a word, Chen Feng neither affirmed nor denied.

He always felt that there was a hidden reason for Nanjiang’s investment and attracting business, not only due to the internal chaos in Suluo Country.

After all, the Black Crystal Group was by no means an ordinary large enterprise.

This is truly a mega group, a gigantic entity with a certain reputation across Chi Country.

A thought flashed, and the black car passed through the crossroads at the traffic light, arriving at another building.

[Tianhao Security]

"Senior Brother, we have arrived."

The driver said respectfully, and Cao Tong in the passenger seat got off first, opening the car door.

Nodding, Chen Feng got out.

The black sweater looked slightly thin, appearing somewhat unconventional compared to the down jackets of pedestrians on the street.

However, standing beneath the security company building, the burly suit-wearing security guards at the main entrance respectfully hurried to greet him.

"Master Chen, the boss is waiting for you upstairs."

"Please."

"Hmm."

Nodding, Chen Feng signaled Cao Tong to go about his own business, and then followed the security guards into the building.

He went down the mountain today not for anything else, but because Lin Hao had something to give him.

Besides, that Meng Anran was also here, wanting to discuss the matters agreed upon last time with him.

Ding!

The elevator reached the top floor, and the security guards opened the way.

Chen Feng stepped forward, seeing two people standing at the entrance of the chairman’s office.

One was Lin Hao’s butler, Uncle Liu, a Master Level Mechanical Martial.

The other was the transformed bodyguard of Meng Anran, a burly middle-aged man in a black trench coat.

"Master Chen, please."

Uncle Liu, wearing white gloves, seemed like an old gentleman, smiling and gesturing for him to enter.

Chen Feng nodded in return with a smile, glancing at the dark gold pupil of the other’s left eye.

He had guessed that this person was the one who helped him fend off the Silver Wolf outside the Tianheng Building before, naturally having an extra degree of goodwill than towards ordinary people.

As for the transformed middle-aged man beside him.

Although he didn’t speak, he nodded his head in respect.

"Feng Zi, you finally came."

Lin Hao immediately heard the movement, walking out from behind the mahogany desk, wearing a casual gray suit, with a grinning appearance.

Chen Feng nodded, his peripheral vision catching Meng Anran sitting on the leather sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Wearing a beige trench coat, her golden hair casually draped behind her, with two straight long legs in pencil pants resting on the brown wooden table, casting a somewhat dangerous gaze at him.

Feeling a bit puzzled, he didn’t think too much about it.

Because Lin Hao clapped his hands, quickly ordering someone to bring a silver metal box.

"The City Association sent it yesterday. As you requested, I’ve converted all the money into Golden Steel."

"But the inventory is limited, they currently only have this much, the rest has to be shipped from Yun Gang."

Chen Feng wasn’t surprised, this was one of the purposes of his visit.

Derived from the transaction of the Golden Guard’s consciousness, the City Joint Council negotiated with Lin Hao.

His perception swept over, inside were square pieces of Golden Steel, five centimeters thick, twenty centimeters long and wide.

Sufficient to elevate Steel Bones even further.

"Thanks."

Chen Feng expressed his gratitude earnestly.

"Ah, there’s no need for pleasantries between us."

Lin Hao waved his hand, then pursed his lips, pointing toward the sofa.

Only then did Chen Feng turn his head to look at Meng Anran, seeing her returning to her usual expression, her straight legs withdrawn.

"Mr. Chen, our agreement still stands, right?"

"Naturally."

Chen Feng nodded, knowing what she was referring to.

Because of the Source Consciousness Liquid transaction, he needed to repay the favor from the Black Crystal Group by visiting a site of ancient civilization ruins.

"Good, I knew I didn’t misjudge you!"

Meng Anran’s slightly furrowed brows completely relaxed, crossing her legs, she nodded with a smile and said, "Since that’s settled, I won’t hold you accountable for the issue with the Transformed People."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng felt somewhat puzzled. The next second, Lin Hao beside him chuckled, and took the initiative to explain: "Regarding this matter, we’re indeed indebted to Big Sis."

"That Luo Hui used a trick, giving the information about you, Green Demon, and White Giant to Chi General Guard from Yun Gang, intending to use them against you."

"Big Sis has connections within the Chi General Guard, learned about it in advance, and ultimately the Black Crystal Group took the fall."

Chen Feng finally understood why Meng Anran’s expression had seemed so dangerous earlier; she had taken the blame for his sake.

But....

"Chi General Guard?" He asked curiously, having never heard of it.

"An official special organization, mostly active near the major Central Cities."

Meng Anran continued, saying calmly: "Mainly involves management of Transformed People in major group companies and civil modification organizations."

"Your Green Demon friend has caused too much trouble, killing many people in the city, including a councilor."

"A Red General from Chi General Guard plans to come to Nanjiang to ask for your cooperation in the investigation, I can only say I’ll do my best to smooth things over for you."

"Red General?"

"Copper, Silver, Gold Three Generals correspond to the first three levels of Transformed People, Red General matches your White Giant friend’s level."

Chen Feng was thoughtful, then saw Meng Anran suddenly smile, asking him: "Considering all this, you still owe me a favor."

"Reasonable?"

Chen Feng remained silent, staring at her for two seconds, noticing a hint of triumph in her eyes.

Pondering for a moment, recalling her support in Yun Gang, he did not refute.

"Fair."

The two of them then discussed the plan for exploring the ancient civilization ruins, departing in three days.

Location is within the Inner City of Yun Gang.

Soon.

Click-clack click-clack!

The sound of high heels faded away, Meng Anran’s golden hair swayed as she gracefully left after the discussion.

"Alright, our place has become her negotiation spot."

Lin Hao teased with a smile, Chen Feng did not respond, his gaze distant, looking far away.

Having accumulated considerable experience, Lin Hao understood his intentions.

"Luo Hui has significant influence in Yun Gang, various forces give his father face."

"Moreover, Chi General Guard is already paying attention to you. If Green Demon and White Giant strike again, you’ll be in a passive position, possibly implicating Flame Tiger Sect."

Solemnly advising, Chen Feng remained silent.

Beneath the floor-to-ceiling window, Nanjiang was bustling, the space between towering buildings varying between brightness and darkness.

Eventually, he suddenly smiled, turned around, and patted Lin Hao on the shoulder.

"Relax, I know what I’m doing."

"I personally detest fighting and conflicts."
