Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1238 - 1207: News

Listen!

This is the spending mindset of rich kids!

Completely different from how poor people think. When you're made of gold, there's no need to gild yourself.

The two cars, one behind the other, quickly arrived at Chen Shan's home.

As the youngest son of the elder family, before officially starting his own family, he's still living at home.

When Chen Fei and his girlfriend got out of the car, the four elder sisters of the elder family had already arrived. This is likely thanks to Little Shanzi tipping them off when riding the shuttle bus.

Upon hearing something like SPA fruit—which is almost like a cheat item—they'd come even if they had to fly. Never underestimate a woman's love for beauty.

As soon as they entered the villa's gate, Chen Xiao'er was pulled aside unceremoniously by the three sisters.

"Where's the legendary SPA fruit? Hurry up and take it out!"

"Where did you hide it? In a storage magical device?"

"Hand it over quickly!"

The brothers-in-law were hiding not far away with helpless faces.

"You three! Stop fooling around! Get aside!"

The true big sister of the Chen Family Gate, Chen Meizhen's voice was like thunder in everyone's ears.

As a Thunder Series Warrior of the Human Rank Eighth Order, she was considered top-level among the Chen family's war professionals.

"Big sister, it's right for a brother to honor his sister. You shouldn't be stopping us, right?"

The second sister, Chen Meixin, was really straightforward with her cousin Chen Fei. She still refused to let go of his shoulder, determined to grab that giant melon capable of "eating people," not even considering where such a large thing could be hidden on a body. It wasn't like Monkey King's Golden Hoop that could turn into an embroidery needle and be hidden in an ear.

"What if there's a limited supply and it can't be shared? Big sister, are you going to let it go or not?"

The third sister wasn't an easy one either, deliberately setting up a trap, not even sparing her big sister.

"Oh my, oh my, I certainly want one. Even if there's only one, I must fight for it. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and even got a few more white hairs."

The fourth sister, Chen Meizhi, with her timid and delicate demeanor, made it feel like a palace drama, probably even making the emperor husband ready for strict critique, with a bunch of maidservants and old mothers below holding little red books ready for both verbal and physical confrontations. The scene was truly eye-searing.

It seems the Chen Family Gate's internal strife was indeed an old tradition, a typical case of not acknowledging one's closest kin.

The brothers-in-law shivered collectively in the corner. Whether their dear wives had more white hairs, they didn't know; they only knew if this continued, their own white hairs might increase.

"Let's eat first; there's important business later!"

The sacred voice of their father rang through.

The three sisters immediately dispersed from Chen Fei as if nothing had happened.

"Hehehe!"

The instigator, Little Shanzi, snickered on the side.

"Ha, Little Shanzi, you're asking for a beating!"

Chen Fei raised his fist.

"I'm running!" Chen Shan thought he had the home advantage and bolted, believing Chen Xiao'er couldn't do anything to him.

"Mr. Brown!"

"Received!" Heseman Brown snapped his fingers calmly.

What is it to abuse public power for personal reasons? This is it.

Chen Shan, who had just run seven or eight meters away, instantly vanished from sight, only to reappear directly in front of Chen Fei's fist and then collided headfirst out of surprise.

"Ouch!"

He's just a useless little brother!

Chen Fei really didn't use any force, he was only responsible for raising his fist; Chen Shan was the one who ran into it.

"Space series... hmm, ability user?"

The four sisters of the Chen family finally noticed the two "followers" behind Chen Fei and Shen Fei.

The other one was fully armed with single soldier tactical armor and had a two-handed long sword slung on his back, clearly a war professional.

"Heseman Brown, nice to meet you all!"

The S-Class Space Ability User placed a hand on his chest and gave a slight bow as a greeting to the Chen family.

"S-Class Space Ability User, please join us!"

Chen Haiqing immediately revealed Heseman Brown's true identity.

At his level of social class, he often knew some information unknown to the public, including the list of S-Class ability users. There were only a few space series ability users, and considering race and age as determining factors, it was really easy to guess.

"S-Class?"

The four sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Covering one eye, Chen Shan found it hard to believe. What merit did Chen Xiao'er have to deserve having an S-Class ability user around? He really didn't fall without reason just now.

The other one, though still silent, was likely not simple either.

Of course not simple. A warrior of the Earth Element, ranks even higher than big sister Chen Meizhen.

Chen Fei casually waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "No need to stare, bodyguards! Both of them!"

Heseman Brown and Dang Wei Jun expressed no objection. If Chen Fei were an A-Class, or equally S-Class, he wouldn't need such a super-standard defense force. Even sovereign leaders don't have this kind of defense force regularly; it's one, unnecessary as conventional defense is enough, even more than sufficient; and two, do these S-Class ability users have nothing better to do?

"What have you done? Planning to run for leadership?"

Even after sitting at the dining table, Chen Shan still couldn't fathom why someone like Chen Xiao'er would have such high-spec entourage.

"Do I look like a leader?"

Chen Fei gestured to himself, then arranged a bowl and plate for his girlfriend. At the family-style round dining table, it was all homestyle fare. Such delicacies, if eaten often, are hard to digest and can cause gout, chances of which decrease in larger households as they often eat plainly at home due to bountiful banquets during social gatherings.

"Leaders don't casually hit people, but you're..."

Chen Shan immediately dismissed his own speculation; the answer didn't require others to provide; a little thought and clarity came.

Chen Shan's father, Chen Fei's uncle, Chen Haiqing suddenly said, "Watch the news! Turn on the TV, the news channel!"

Everyone's gaze turned towards the wall besides the dining room, where a large display screen came to life, showing the live news channel report.

"According to news from Reuters, a force from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee is engaged in fierce combat with an alien civilization..."

The screen showed a grand interstellar war scene, with a bright atmospheric planet as backdrop. In its near-orbit, many interstellar warships released countless carrier-based aircraft into head-on confrontations with dense space creatures. Dozens of massive dreadnoughts were steadily approaching the planet.

Occasionally, beams from deep space struck near those giant objects, creating visible ripples in their protective barriers.

This video footage lasted for several minutes, followed by further reports from the news anchor along with expert commentary and various speculations.

Predictably, once this video aired, the entire Blue Star media would explode. News-savvy people might already be pursuing more scoops as if a nuclear strike had just happened.

Chen Fei, calm as ever, quietly swiped his phone screen while sipping on his pre-dinner soup, and then shut it off!

"Those carrier-based aircraft look, look like..."

Chen Shan, who often used tactical jets for practice, found the news video's carrier-based aircraft increasingly familiar—they matched his own ride.

"Exactly the same!"

Shen Fei also found them familiar.

"Which planet is this? In the Solar System?"

Big Sister Chen Meizhen frowned; she hadn't heard of any interstellar war occurring within the Solar System recently, otherwise it couldn't possibly go unnoticed by astronomy enthusiasts and astronomers.

Chen Fei spoke in an utterly ordinary tone, "No.2 Star System, origin of the 'Sagali' civilization."

The damned Gaul, daring to leak top-secret sovereign matters to the public, weren't they afraid of causing social unrest?

The previous "wormhole cloud" incident could barely be glossed over, but the news footage just broadcast was an outright large-scale interstellar war, the battlefield spanning nearly half a star system, with both sides deploying over a million tactical units, the combat exceedingly fierce.

This was even without deploying human warriors; if humans were involved, the sheer casualties would be unbearable for any sovereignty.

"Went straight to 'Sagali''s lair?" Chen Shan widened his eyes; was the Global United Defense Committee so formidable they could attack the dragon's den? It seemed the extinction of parasitic species was imminent.

"This is just the beginning, ten thousand years old lair—who knows where the current one is! Moreover, this is just one of the star systems within the 'Sagali' civilization's sphere of influence."

Putting down his soup bowl, Chen Fei noted that those who haven't confronted "Sagali" themselves have no idea how terrifying their depths are.

Merely three abnormal regions on Blue Star's surface already represented three different star systems.
