Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 721: Section 716 - Big News
Chen Fei once again shook his hands in front of the man in the suit and leather shoes, asking, "How big is the space inside this?"
It was fortunate that the boss had left someone to answer his questions, otherwise, he would have had to spend a lot of effort to understand those details.
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hmm, only you yourself know for sure. Others, including the supernatural power users, are not aware of it."
This question really stumped him.
The Magic Array storage space was opened by Chen Fei; even the Ability Users who had jointly cast the Psi Skill did not know its size, whether it was one cubic meter or ten thousand cubic meters.
Chen Fei concentrated and sensed it for a moment; it seemed not much smaller in capacity than the Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact on his left wrist, which was enough for him. He had no intention of stuffing in a large airship because there was no need for it. After all, he wasn't engaging in a large-scale battle; he didn't need that much combat supplies for solo fighting.
"Is there anything else?"
Chen Fei lowered his hands and looked at other parts of his body.
The boss might have fully equipped him with real martial gear in one go, even down to his teeth.
The man in the suit and leather shoes seriously said, "No, there is nothing else. The price was too high. Two supernatural power users can't use their abilities for a year, and one of them has permanently lost their ability. However, aside from storage, the Spatial Branding on your hands can also cast a Spatial Blade by consuming spiritual power, limited to a single strike each time."
In the world of the awakened on Blue Star, abilities were diverse and peculiar. The user who lost their ability had a one-time use special ability, and once used, it was gone. Naturally, it was sold for a good price. Louis Industries' CEO, who was not short of money, gave a good offer this time, and the proceeds from the deal were enough for the former power user to live comfortably for a lifetime, or even ten lifetimes.
To leave a permanent effect through special abilities was bound to come with a hefty price; therefore, what Chen Fei received was not replicable. Unless someone could awaken the same ability in the future and manage to organize the relevant Ability Users together, it wasn't just a matter of having the financial resources; it also required astonishing connections. The S-rank Ability Users, firmly held in the hands of sovereignty holders, wouldn't easily make a move. Without the permission of a sovereignty holder, there wouldn't even be an opportunity to make contact.
"Hiss! That's powerful!"
Chen Fei couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
He hadn't expected that aside from storage, there was such a supreme effect that could take adversaries by surprise at a critical moment.
Those who knew he was a Metal Ability User would often be caught off guard, let alone those who were unaware.
"The use of Spatial Blade will consume a lot of spiritual power, please use it cautiously."
The man in the suit and leather shoes paused for a moment, waiting for Chen Fei to take in the reminder, before saying once again, "I have explained everything. Farewell!"
With that, he turned and left, without hesitation or any superfluous words.
Of course, he wouldn't explain to Chen Fei the full principle of the silvery space branding on the back of his hand. Even the Ability Users who had joined forces to cast the Psi Skill which left this stable mark couldn't explain it clearly; they were just one of the participants, not the designers of the space branding. The secret of it was probably known only to a few people, and for Chen Fei, this secret was not necessarily a good thing.
Shen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu approached together and asked in unison, "Who was that man?"
Only now did they dare to approach.
Before, they saw Chen Fei suddenly surrounded by people and wanted to intervene but were stopped by the bodyguards from Louis Landon's entourage.
If they hadn't been informed that it wasn't to Chen Fei's detriment but rather a special gift, they would have intervened.
The cooperation between Louis Landon and Chen Fei had been pleasant so far, with the former providing unwavering support to the latter. Indeed, they found no reason to harm each other.
Otherwise, Teacher Shen's cherished pet, the Shadow Wolf, and Her Royal Highness's Pure Light Sparrow on her shoulder would have struck out. The two of them didn't worry for long; after a quarter of an hour, the supernatural power users dispersed and left collectively, leaving Chen Fei and the man in the suit and leather shoes alone.
Only after the man in the suit and leather shoes had also departed, leaving Chen Fei alone, did Shen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu step forward.
"I don't know him; he was just here to offer an explanation," Chen Fei said with a shrug, spreading out his hands.
He hadn't earned a large sum of money, but he had received the greatest gift.
What a domineering boss! A generous boss!!! Kneeling for the boss!!!
"What did they do to you?"
Princess Lin Ziyu immediately activated a subtle Curse Magic that swept over Chen Fei's body, yet it found nothing, but something seemed slightly amiss.
"They gave me a secret weapon."
Chen Fei clenched his left hand, and immediately, a silver light pattern emerged on the back of his hand, which was the "Spatial Branding" – even more practical than the Spatial Alchemy Storage Magical Artifact.
"What kind of weapon?"
"Don't ask!"
The former query was from Shen Fei, while the latter response came from Her Royal Highness.
"Eh? Can't I ask?"
Teacher Shen looked puzzledly at the Investigative Agent from the Silan Dynasty beside her.
"If it's a secret weapon, the fewer people know about it the better. You wouldn't want to be taken hostage and used to coerce him, would you?"
Princess Lin Ziyu's comment was full of seasoned wisdom that matched the investigative nature of her job, showcasing an insight into the consequences of a leaked secret.
```
"Teacher Shen won't be taken hostage,"
Chen Fei stamped his foot, and the shadow under Shen Fei's feet trembled slightly, showing he was deadly serious.
If anything happened to Teacher Shen, that dead dog (wolf) would be stewed directly.

Sensing the fluctuations of the Dark Element, Princess Lin Ziyu fell silent for a few seconds before finally nodding and saying, "You make a good point."
It was rare for Ability Users to target ordinary people, and even less expected that an ordinary person would have a Fourth Rank Dark Shadow Wolf of the Human Order by their side.
The Light Series' Pure Light Sparrow and the Dark Element's Shadow Wolf, one light and one dark – not only did they complement each other, it seemed downright premeditated.
"I, I'd better not ask,"
Shen Fei finally came to a delayed realization, after all, the reminder from the female Investigative Agent was quite explicit.
"It's okay, I'll find a chance to show you,"
Chen Fei took Teacher Shen's hand, fingers interlaced, not wanting to put too much pressure on her.
Once a teacher, always a teacher, even if she was now Secretary Shen, she remained Chen Fei's Teacher Shen, and that wouldn't change regardless of time or place.
The Spatial Blade was far too sharp for this place, which was the territory of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation; it wasn't good to use it casually, even if it wouldn't harm the flora. With so much equipment around, any damage caused would be a different story from combat damage. If they sent him a bill for reimbursement, Chen Xiao'er would surely turn green; his pitiful savings balance wouldn't even begin to cover it.
"Holy shit, there's big news!"
"No way!"
A chorus of surprised exclamations arose from nearby.
People who had just escaped from danger took out their personal terminal devices – mobile phones, tablets, and laptops – to check the latest hot news.
Could there be any bigger news than the evacuation of Citizens of Blue Star from the Cangqiong Star's Zilu Continent?
"Agent Yu!"
Someone approached Princess Lin Ziyu from behind, whispering something to her.
Suddenly, there were more people around Her Royal Highness, seemingly in the know but not openly acknowledging it, maintaining the facade of Agent Yu Zilin's outward identity.
Chen Fei had a guess; from the moment they stepped onto the Zilu Continent, they had never escaped the watchful eye of the Silan Royal Family. There was always someone observing and assisting from the shadows, so having some overt presence at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation territory was not strange at all.
"Mmm-hmm, I got it!"
After listening for a moment, Lin Ziyu nodded her head, then refocused on Chen Fei and Shen Fei, and said very seriously, "There's been a major incident on Blue Star; take a look at the immediate news hot topic rankings."
"What?"
Such a big incident shouldn't involve insignificant individuals like himself, Chen Fei thought, puzzled and bewildered as he took out his own tablet, connected to the public network of the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, and looked at the screen together with Teacher Shen.
"Breaking emergency situation, fierce battle erupts at the Lin Family Mansion of the Lord of the Sky!"
"The Lord of the Sky involved in major criminal offenses!"
"Sky Knight in combat, casualties over a hundred!"
"Lin Family Mansion assaulted by government forces!"
"..."
Heart-stopping news headlines from the first to tenth place on the rankings were all about the same event; the entire news realm of Blue Star was about to explode.
Sovereignty was attacking the Lin Family, the residence of the "Lord of the Sky," triggering a fierce localized battle, claiming the "Lord of the Sky" was involved in a major crime, a severity beyond imagination.
"How, how is this possible?"
Shen Fei gasped in shock. The "Lord of the Sky," Lin Mo, was a legendary figure; to be embroiled in such a conflict, didn't sovereignty care at all?
Chen Fei was equally stunned as he looked at Princess Lin Ziyu, as if the "Lord of the Sky" was related to her.
"I also don't know!"
As his daughter, Her Royal Highness the Princess shrugged her shoulders, implying she was uninformed.
Ups and downs between siblings were indeed more significant than those in ordinary families, but there were inevitably also regrets.
"Wait! Mr. Randon's prophecy!"
Chen Fei suddenly remembered something, feeling an inexplicable chill.
In the prophecy made by the big shot Louis Landon, the Parasitic Species launched a large-scale invasion, and the "Lord of the Sky" did not lead the two civilizations to fight back but instead perished in advance. Could this terrifying "prophecy event" really happen?
