Chapter 786: Perseverance will lead to a smooth road
At noon, Chen Chuan wiped out the crack with a knife. In the past period of time, in addition to absorbing a certain amount of spiritual energy, he also encountered things coming from the opposite side three times.
But their levels were not high and they were easily dealt with by him. The only difference from the one he encountered for the first time was that they did not leave anything valuable. I guess the ones he encountered for the first time were also rare species.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, he just opened a tiny hole here, and there are probably enough of these things only near the World Ring.
He packed up all the remaining items into his bag, opened the hatch, and said to the old captain who had been waiting all night, "Thank you for your hard work."
After a night on duty, the old captain was still in high spirits. "It's not hard, Mr. Chen. I heard from the company that we should ruthlessly kill those people from the Linax Federation to put down their prestige."
Chen Chuan thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant. Did he think he was deliberately targeting the fighter from the Linax Federation?
But if you don't know the inside story, it's not strange to think so.
After the airship returned to the port a while later, his Jie Ping also resumed signal contact. When he got off the airship, he saw a contact signal coming from Jie Ping. The contact person was the client Huang Weiyi.
This person had played a certain role in Cha Lianwei's re-control before, and his work was satisfactory. He was also quite sensible. Coming to him at this time...
He clicked on the Netherworld Pass and connected the call.
"Mr. Huang, what's going on?"
A flattered voice came from the other side, "Manager Chen, you still remember me, Xiao Huang. Well, this is the case. I am a client who has cooperated with you before, so this time someone asked me to pass on a message to you.
"Alas, I'm just a messenger. I know I'm not qualified to talk to you. If I've offended you in any way, please be magnanimous and don't bother with a nobody like me."
Chen Chuan said: "Speak to the point."
"Yes, yes." Huang Weiyi said, "It's like this. A big shot, as big a shot as you, asked me to bring you a message, saying that he wants to meet you." As he said that, a message came immediately.
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the other party introduced himself as a member of the Jingxiu School and wanted to meet at the rest area of the Whitehall Checkpoint in the west of the city.
There is a seal on the back of this contact document. He can recognize it. It is an exclusive seal belonging to the fighter. Every fighter has a different seal. The name on the opposite side is... Long Xiang.
A refined fighter?
It seems that this person was sent by the Municipal Council.
It's just that the other party's wording was very polite, without any worldly airs. This time, he specifically used Huang Weiyi to find him instead of anyone else, and he also made a special appointment to meet outside the city. This should be a hint to him that he was not coming on behalf of the Municipal Council, but was meeting him as a third party.
He thought for a moment and then explained to Huang Weiyi, "I understand, Mr. Huang. What happens next has nothing to do with you."
Huang Weiyi felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly said "OK" and then humbly ended the communication.
After Chen Chuan got in the car, he clicked on the contact signal. When the call was connected, he said, "Mr. Long?"
There was a burst of laughter from the other side, and then a very calm and deep voice came, "It's me, Long Xiang, hello, Manager Chen."
This laughter coupled with the sound that followed made people think that the person opposite had mental problems, but Chen Chuan acted very calmly. In the fourth level, some people have to give up or embrace something. The more obvious it is, the greater the power feedback they get. He understood this.
Mr. Long continued speaking in a relaxed tone, without any hint of hostility: "I'm here at the invitation of the Municipal Council. I'm sure you can guess what they're thinking, Director Chen.
But honestly, I don't think this is a good solution, and I support you, Manager Chen, in seeking justice against those who have offended you.
However, I am in the Jingxiu Sect, and I still have to support the interests of the sect, so I would like to meet with you, Director Chen, and tell you my thoughts. If Director Chen thinks you can listen, then listen. If not, that's fine too. Things will be as they are. What do you think, Director Chen?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm free now and will come over later."
"Haha...Okay, then I'll wait here for Manager Chen."
After Chen Chuan finished the call, he arrived at the intersection ahead, turned into the Gard car, and headed towards the National Avenue in the west of the city.
The two of them were actually talking quite easily, but on the contrary, almost all the forces in the central city were nervously watching their upcoming meeting.
At the Municipal Council, several council members stared at the on-site screen and felt a little relieved when they saw his car heading west of the city, obviously agreeing to keep the appointment.
One of the council members couldn't help but sigh and said, "It would be great if we had our own fighter."
But no one at the scene took him up on the idea of training their own fighters? How could that be possible? When fighters became martial artists, would there still be a place for them?
That was uncontrollable power, and uncontrollable power wasn't power. They would rather use money and technology to cultivate obedient and useful active consciousnesses. And it was precisely because they had no fighters that they could easily gain the support of the Federation.
One council member said, "Please be patient. The active consciousness that the Federation promised to support us is already being cultivated. Let's take a step back. Once this period is over, we can return to the negotiating table."
As Chen Chuan came along, he found that the number of vehicles on the road suddenly became very sparse, and later on, there was almost no car on the road, and it looked very empty.
This is probably because the Government Affairs Office knew that he was going to meet with Long Xiang, so they made some adjustments and controls on the traffic.
He looked at the road that seemed to lead to the end of the horizon, and the towering buildings on both sides. At this moment, he felt as if he was the only one left in the entire city, and he was separated from the hustle and bustle of the entire city.
In a sense, this is true.
He stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the vehicle, but at this moment he couldn't help but wonder, would it feel better if he was driving the Silver Lightning?
With traffic lights open all the way, he crossed the two districts in just over an hour and arrived at National Avenue in the west.
After driving for another ten minutes, we arrived at the Whitehall Checkpoint on the western edge of Central City.
There was already a car parked here, and a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and with a stern face was waiting there patiently.
The Gard car stopped more than a hundred meters away. Chen Chuan got out of the car, adjusted the brim of his hat, and walked towards the opposite side.
The patrol cars and guards near the checkpoint had evacuated at some point, and it seemed that they were the only two people left on the empty avenue.
As Chen Chuan approached, Mr. Long removed his sunglasses, revealing his deep black eyes and the tiny black scales around his eye sockets. He actively gathered his presence, extended his hand, and laughed heartily, which quickly turned into a smile. "Manager Chen, hello. I'm a member of the Refined Cultivation Sect, Long Xiang."
Chen Chuan also restrained the bio-field on his body and shook hands with him. "Pure faction, Chen Chuan."
Long Xiang smiled and then said, "Manager Chen, I came here only to act as a bridge of communication. Since they have offended you, your counterattack is of course reasonable. The Municipal Council has also realized their mistakes, and they hope you can give them a chance to make amends.
I won't beat around the bush and just explain the compensation they're willing to offer. To compensate for the damage to the bureau and Director Chen's personal reputation, they're willing to unconditionally provide you with resources for cultivation for a period of time."
Chen Chuan looked at him. In fact, as long as the municipal council did not block his way, he was not interested in paying any more attention to it. Even if he really wanted to take action, it would not be now, but he needed to wait for an opportunity.
In fact, if the Government Affairs Office really intends to ask him to deal with the Municipal Council, it will also need to provide him with a certain amount of resources to make up for the energy consumption that may be generated in the process.
Since the Government Affairs Office has no such idea now, he will not rush to take over, and if the Municipal Council is willing to compensate him, he will certainly not refuse.
This is what Principal Yao meant when he asked him to keep calm and get what he could get first.
He asked, "How long is a period of time?"
Long Xiang smiled and said, "It actually depends on the extent of your threat, Mr. Chen. If your threat is not as big as they expected, I think they may not be willing to pay too much. If the threat far exceeds their expectations, I think they may continue to lower their original psychological bottom line.
Manager Chen, are you wondering why I am telling you this?
It's actually very simple. Although there are quite a few of us on the municipal council, whether I contribute more or less won't affect my share. On the contrary, I'll likely be dealing with you, Manager Chen, frequently in the future. I think being honest with you will facilitate communication and avoid unnecessary trouble and conflict."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I'd like to ask, how do you measure this so-called threat?"
Long Xiang laughed loudly, then sighed, "This is the part I don't like, but this is the assignment given to me by the faction, and I have to do it. I think we can solve this problem through a duel. Don't worry, all our losses will be borne by the Municipal Council.
If you win, Mr. Chen, the City Council is willing to take responsibility for your practice resources for the next three years.
If you lose, Mr. Chen, the City Council is still willing to compensate you for one year's worth of training. However, in the meantime, please refrain from interfering in any matters involving the Council. Of course, this assumes they don't infringe upon your personal interests first. Director Chen, what do you think of this condition?"
