High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery-Chapter 296 - 295: What is He Here For? (Please Subscribe)

"Creak," the conference room door was pushed open from the inside.

Chen Fan walked out.

"Brother Chen!"

"Brother Chen, are you alright?"

"What happened?"

Xu Jie and his group stood at the entrance of the conference room, looking tense as they asked.

Not just them, others in the association also gathered around.

The commotion on the second floor wasn’t exactly loud, but it wasn’t quiet either. Even Xu Jie’s group had received the news and rushed over immediately.

At this moment, the bolder ones in the front took a few peeks inside the open conference room, vaguely seeing the president sitting on the ground. Not far away, there seemed to be another figure lying down.

"Just a little trouble, but it’s been resolved," Chen Fan said with a smile.

Xu Jie and his group looked at each other.

A little trouble?

Was it really just a little trouble?

After all, they could smell the scent of blood in the conference room.

Chen Fan didn’t say much and walked forward.

The crowd quickly made way, watching Chen Fan as he walked to the elevator and then disappeared from sight.

Xu Jie’s group swallowed their saliva again. For some reason, today’s Chen Fan gave them a very dangerous feeling.

Zhao Xuewen swallowed and asked, "How about we go in and take a look?"

"Yes, yes. Why is the president sitting on the ground?"

"President?"

They rushed in and were stunned by the scene inside.

They saw a man lying on the ground in a very strange posture, his eyes wide open, blood streaming from his lips, and the carpet nearby was stained red with blood.

"President!"

"President! What happened!"

Tu Yue and the others hurried forward, pulling the pale-faced Sun Wei from the ground and helping him sit on a chair.

Others who entered afterward also gaped at the scene.

A dead person?

No, if they remembered correctly, wasn’t this person from the headquarters? Although he wasn’t wearing a mask, his attire was the same as before, clearly the same person.

Then the question arose, why was he lying on the ground in such a position? Moreover, he looked mostly dead already...

"No, nothing,"

Sun Wei forced a bitter smile and waved.

He was indeed scared by Chen Fan’s words.

If gods block, kill gods; if Buddhas block, kill Buddhas. In other words, if one day, Chen Fan found Ling Yu, uncovered the truth, and wanted to kill Ling Yu, would the president stop him?

Chen Fan would even kill the president?

After all, the president was the indisputable number one in the association! Could Brother Chen really be a match for him?

"Oh my god, that person on the ground is really dead."

"Of course, he’s been lying there for so long without moving, it’s not surprising he’s dead."

"He’s from headquarters, right? If he dies here, won’t headquarters come after us?"

Discussions at the door rose and fell.

Sun Wei glanced at them, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and it won’t affect you. Put your minds at ease and go back to what you were doing."

With the president speaking, the others, despite their questions, could only turn around and leave in twos and threes.

In a blink, only a few Entry Force Level martial artists remained in the conference room.

"President, what exactly is going on?"

Xu Jie couldn’t help but ask. The others’ discussions were correct; the man on the ground was from the headquarters, wasn’t he? How did he end up dead here?

Could it be the work of Brother Chen?

If so, the headquarters learning about it would have unimaginable consequences!

The others also looked nervous.

Some even recognized the corpse, as if they had seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t recall immediately.

"Knowing this won’t benefit you in any way. Just treat it as if nothing happened," Sun Wei sighed.

"But..."

They exchanged glances.

It’s human nature to be curious, not to mention such a bizarre event right before their eyes.

"Wait a moment!"

Gao Shan suddenly exclaimed. He quickly walked over to the corpse, his pupils contracting, "President, is this man, is he Xiao Hong?"

"What? Xiao Hong!"

"Xiao Hong!"

These words made the others’ faces change dramatically, and they rushed forward.

Some even took out their phones, logging into the association and finding Xiao Hong’s picture to compare with.

Instantly, the entire conference room fell silent. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Xu Jie’s group stood in shock, their hair standing on end, eyes filled with disbelief as they looked at Sun Wei.

Xiao Hong, a name that resounded like thunder!

Yet he died here? Were they hallucinating?

"Sigh,"

Sun Wei sighed.

"As I said before, pretend nothing happened. It’s for your own good, understand?"

If Xu Jie’s group had been curious and unwilling to let go before,

now they were scared pale. Even if Sun Wei were willing to explain, they would be too scared to listen.

Because even fools knew this matter was extraordinarily significant!

"President, won’t this matter cause us trouble in the future?" Xu Jie stammered.

"Don’t worry. This issue has nothing to do with you or me. Just continue your usual activities—hunt Fierce Beasts, or train at the base."

"Alright, alright."

The group let out a sigh of relief.

"President, about what’s inside?"

"I’ll handle it," Sun Wei nodded.

"Alright, alright."

"President, if you need anything else, just let us know."

"Hmm, go on."

They quickly walked out, heaving a sigh of relief once they reached the elevator.

Although they didn’t know what had happened or why the person from headquarters died here,

it was surely related to Brother Chen.

It was highly likely Xiao Hong was killed by Chen Fan, even though it sounded far-fetched. Xiao Hong was the number one expert below the True Essence Realm in the association, while Brother Chen seemed only at Transforming Force, not even a match at Meridian Refining Realm.

"The president is right; this matter is too deep for us. Let’s pretend we didn’t see anything," Gao Shan said, looking at the group, "Don’t mention it to anyone."

They all nodded quickly.

They knew their limits.

It just felt like Anshan City was becoming less peaceful.

Chen Fan, who had left earlier, didn’t go to the third-floor training room or return to the Alchemy Room but instead exited the branch office directly.

The day’s events reminded him not to put all his eggs in one basket.

"Fortunately, I have another identity in the Awakened Association," Chen Fan thought.

Even if he clashed with headquarters today, he wasn’t worried about lacking resources in the future.

Of course, the best solution would be having his own forces, so even if something happened with the Awakened Association, he wouldn’t struggle for weapons, elixirs, and other resources.

But having his own forces was easier said than done. Not to mention, the upcoming Beast Tide would be a challenge.

"Sigh, I can only do my best and leave the rest to fate," Chen Fan sighed, found a deserted corner, and changed into Li Ping’s appearance, then headed toward the Awakened Association.

He needed to trade the Fierce Beast materials he hunted last time for points. Though it wasn’t much, leaving them piled in space items was pointless.

Trading them for points sooner would allow him to exchange for powerful martial arts earlier.

Also, he wanted to gather information.

As he walked into the Awakened Association hall, Chen Fan noticed the atmosphere was off.

It was too quiet.

Unlike before, where people gathered in groups, chatting and laughing.

Now, every Awakener was either staring blankly or frowning with a heavy heart.

When Chen Fan entered, many eyes turned to look at him.

"Li Ping?"

"It’s him!"

"He dares to come back?"

Exclamations erupted.

They remembered the president had tried to recruit this man, and he had directly refused.

They thought he had left the place for good, only to see him now?

Chen Fan looked straight ahead, ignoring the stares, and walked to the counter.

"Hello, I’m here to submit a task," Chen Fan said.

"Ah, yes, Lord Li Ping, please wait a moment; let me check."

The woman quickly typed "Li Ping" into the computer. Shortly, three task entries appeared on the screen.

The woman’s eyes widened in shock, her jaw nearly dropping.

The two women next to her, curious at their colleague’s expression, also looked at the screen.

They were soon equally stunned.

"Is there a problem?"

Chen Fan frowned slightly, asking.

"No, no problem. Sorry, Lord Li Ping,"

the middle woman swallowed and asked cautiously, "Can I confirm the task details? You took on three tasks: hunting a Black Feathered Eagle, a Lion Ape, and a Fire Scaly Pig, and collecting their important materials, right?"

Her words left the entire hall in silence.

Everyone looked at Chen Fan in disbelief.

Black Feathered Eagle, Lion Ape, Fire Scaly Pig?

These were all elite-level Fierce Beasts. Any one of them was an opponent they would never want to face.

Especially the Fire Scaly Pig, the most formidable among elite-level Fierce Beasts. Even Yan Ming would struggle with it.

Yet this Li Ping took on all three tasks at once?

And he had said he was here to submit the tasks!
