Chapter 294: Chapter 293: If Gods Block, Kill the Gods; If Buddhas Block, Kill the Buddhas (Please Subscribe)

Xiao Hong stared at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn’t believe that, in the presence of the President, this guy dared to kill him.

It was clear to everyone that the President wanted to turn a big issue into a small one and then into a non-issue. Xiao Hong would return to the headquarters to be punished, while Chen Fan would receive compensation from the headquarters. Wasn’t that the best solution?

But how could Chen Fan dare to defy the President’s wishes? How dare he?

Xiao Hong was filled with grief and indignation.

He was unwilling; he truly was!

As the number one below the True Essence Realm in the association, how could he die so unjustly here?

Just one step away from becoming a True Essence Realm Martial Artist!

His consciousness began to fade, seemingly exhausting his last life force, until he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

His body remained in its previous posture, his eyes wide open like copper bells, dying with a grudge.

Sun Wei also widened his eyes; his gaze shifted from the corpse on the ground to Chen Fan, his brain buzzing incessantly.

Did he just see what he saw?

Brother Chen, in the presence of the President, killed Xiao Hong?

That was the President!

The number one in the Jiangnan Sub-district Martial Arts Association!

Brother Chen’s actions were like a fierce slap across the President’s face! What would happen next was easy to imagine.

Being expelled from the association would be the mildest consequence. The President might even come directly from the headquarters to confront Brother Chen!

Why take things to this point?

Sun Wei sighed deeply.

The headquarters had already agreed to compensation, hadn’t they? And it sounded abundant. More importantly, this incident concluded without lasting damage, didn’t it? There were no irreversible consequences.

It truly wasn’t necessary.

Chang Fei was also stunned.

His body seemed to be immobilized by the Body-Stabilizing Technique, staring unblinkingly at the corpse on the ground.

Xiao Hong? Dead?

The one with the highest hope of breaking through from the Meridian Refining Realm to the True Essence Realm within the headquarters, dead like this?

Dead like a dog by the roadside... he was a Martial Artist the headquarters painstakingly nurtured!

Gradually, his gaze shifted to Chen Fan, whose face was devoid of emotion, revealing a bitter smile.

He always knew, he always knew, this young man wasn’t easy to deal with.

From the first encounter, he judged Chen Fan to be seemingly easygoing, but internally principled. As long as his bottom line wasn’t touched, everything was negotiable.

But once his bottom line was crossed, he would make you regret it immensely.

This event displayed that perfectly.

He had a premonition that Xiao Hong’s death wasn’t the end but the beginning.

Of course, he was also deeply worried, unsure of the President’s thoughts and what he might do to Brother Chen.

"You killed him, you should feel somewhat relieved, right?"

At this moment, Shi Tao’s voice broke in, his tone and expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Fan looked at Shi Tao on the screen.

Shi Tao calmly continued, "Regarding the compensation I mentioned earlier, if you have no objections, I’ll have Chang Fei collect it and send it to you soon."

Sun Wei felt his heart loosen upon hearing this.

Simultaneously, he felt the President was unfathomable.

Chen Fan killed someone from the headquarters, someone he wanted to protect secretly, yet the President remained calm and continued to fulfill the previous agreement of compensating Brother Chen. Such magnanimity truly befits the President.

"That’s right, Brother Chen." Chang Fei smiled, "Seven Demon-Breaking Arrows and two Cloud Jade Fruits. If you have other requests, feel free to ask."

Though Xiao Hong’s death was regrettable.

If it could help remove Brother Chen’s hostility towards the headquarters, it was worth it.

After all, it was Xiao Hong’s own doing.

As for Ling Yu...

A flicker of seriousness appeared in Chang Fei’s eyes. After the video call, he needed to remind the President to supervise Ling Yu more strictly. This time, the President could protect him, but what about next time?

"No need."

Chen Fan replied firmly, "I don’t want any compensation. I want the truth of this matter!"

These words made Sun Wei and even Chang Fei’s hearts jump.

Shi Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice emotionless, "The truth of the matter was already stated by Xiao Hong. This whole thing was his doing, you’ve heard it."

"Is that really the truth?"

Chen Fan questioned.

"That is the truth."

Shi Tao responded without hesitation.

The atmosphere fell silent once more.

The two stared at each other, the air thick with tension.

Sun Wei was terrified, his face pale and changing colors.

Chang Fei’s expression wasn’t much better.

He coughed and said, "Brother Chen, regardless of the real truth, Xiao Hong is dead, isn’t he? The President and I can promise you that what happened today will never happen again. If it does, I, Chang Fei, will die to atone for it."

He looked at Chen Fan with a pleading gaze, as if saying, Brother Chen, let this matter end here.

Further pursuit wouldn’t benefit anyone, would it?

Chen Fan looked at Shi Tao, knowing that whether he liked it or not, today’s matter could only end here. Continuing would only waste time.

But precisely because of this, his suspicion deepened.

Could it be that even Ling Yu wasn’t the true mastermind? Is the President before him the real one?

If not, why would he protect Ling Yu?

Finding out was simple: using the Soul Shifting Technique on him would reveal everything.

He took a deep breath, looked at Chang Fei, "Chairman Chang, let’s end it here."

Chang Fei felt relieved, smiling, "Brother Chen, regarding compensation, the headquarters..."

"No need."

Chen Fan interrupted, "I will investigate this matter further."

"!"

Chang Fei was speechless, his throat clogged, unable to speak.

"Ling Yu, right? Please tell Chairman Shi that soon, I’ll come to the headquarters to find him to clarify today’s matter.

If he’s uninvolved, I’ll apologize. If he’s behind it, I won’t let him off even if he escapes to the ends of the earth."

Hearing this, Chang Fei turned pale, instinctively looking at Shi Tao on the screen.

The latter remained calm, "Very well, I’ll relay your message."

"Thank you, Chairman Shi."

Chen Fan said indifferently.

"You’re welcome."

Shi Tao paused, then said, "The Fierce Beast’s activities have stirred, and Anshan City isn’t safe. If you wish, it would be best to move to the headquarters soon."

Chen Fan remained silent.

Shi Tao gave him a deep look and ended the communication.

"Whew..."

Chang Fei exhaled.

Finally, it was over.

The previous tense atmosphere scared him, fearing Chen Fan and Shi Tao would clash harshly.

Whatever the outcome, it wasn’t what he wanted to see.

Nonetheless, he admired Chen Fan’s courage.

Since the association’s founding, besides Chen Fan, no one dared to confront Chairman Shi.

"Brother Chen, why bother with this?"

After reconsidering, Chang Fei sighed, "I understand your anger and suspicions toward the President, wondering if he’s behind this. But I assure you, the President would never do such a thing."

"So, is Ling Yu responsible?" Chen Fan asked.

"Brother Chen, I didn’t say that." Chang Fei shook his head with a bitter smile.

He was stuck between wanting a good relationship with Chen Fan and protecting the President and the headquarters’ reputation.

"Sigh."

He sighed, "Brother Chen, think it over. If you change your mind, call me anytime, and we can add more to the compensation."

Seeing no response from Chen Fan, he sighed again and ended the call.

"Brother Chen?"

Sun Wei cautiously called out, seeing Chen Fan look his way, he smiled bitterly, "Brother Chen, I think it’s best to let this matter go. Anshan City isn’t a place to stay long.

If a beast tide erupts, this place will fall in a blink. If you strain relations with the headquarters, the outcome will be hard to manage."

"Chairman, how can you forget he just almost killed you?" Chen Fan glanced at Xiao Hong’s corpse.

"I haven’t forgotten, but since even the President has intervened, we should..." Sun Wei trailed off.

"I haven’t forgotten either, so I need to find out the truth, regardless of others’ opinions. People can call me obsessive, or ungrateful, I only know retaliation for offenses."

"But..."

Sun Wei hesitated, "Ling Yu is the President’s closed-door disciple. If he’s behind this, killing him will certainly anger the President."

He thought, reminding himself that even now, the President was protecting Ling Yu.

"If it comes to that, he better not stop me, or," Chen Fan’s eyes flashed murderously, "I’ll kill anyone in my way."

"Thud!"

Sun Wei dropped to the ground in terror. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
