Chapter 304: Chapter 303: Someone Looking for Me? (Please Subscribe)
The most shocked were those Awakened who had heard the name Li Ping before.
Initially, they felt that the person in front of them looked familiar but couldn’t place him immediately.
It was only when they heard the woman say the name Li Ping that they had an epiphany and remembered.
Isn’t this the C-level Awakened who caused a commotion in the Stone City Awakened Association a few days ago?
Some even took out their phones to find the video from that time and compared it with the person in front of them, confirming it was indeed the same person!
But when did this guy named Li Ping become Chairman Li? What kind of chairman is he?
"Chairman Li, please wait a moment." The woman picked up her phone as she spoke.
Chen Fan nodded and glanced at the camera in the hall.
He had a premonition that someone was watching him through this camera.
Indeed, that was the case.
In the president’s office on the third floor, three or four Awakened were watching the screen showing Chen Fan, looking quite tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Chairman, he must have realized we’re watching him," a man on the left took a deep breath and said, "Such powerful Spiritual Perception."
"Isn’t this guy supposed to be in Stone City? Why is he here? Could it be he’s here to cause trouble for us?"
"Hmph, what’s there to fear?" A deep, gruff voice sounded, "We have so many people here, are we afraid of just him? This isn’t Stone City, he can’t come and go as he pleases. If he causes trouble here, let him try!"
"You say that, but this guy isn’t just your average Joe," the man who first spoke said worriedly, "You’ve seen his previous fight; his body defense is on par with an Elite-level Fierce Beast, and he’s incredibly fast. The most terrifying is his Spiritual Power."
"Yep, he seems to have also cultivated Soul-Annihilating Finger. Any one of us hit by that would surely die. So, if we do fight him, we must kill him at the first instant. Otherwise, there will definitely be casualties."
Hearing this, the deep-voiced man fell silent.
Indeed, if a battle did break out, at least one of their side would die.
C-level Awakened aren’t easy to come by; each one reaching this stage didn’t come easy. Besides, who wanted to be cannon fodder?
"You don’t need to worry too much."
At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting in the boss’s chair glanced at the chat window on the computer screen and said, "He seems to be here to find someone, not to pick a fight with us."
"Find someone?"
"Find who?"
"Someone named Gu Ze," Su Yu said.
"Gu Ze?"
The other three in the room all widened their eyes simultaneously.
Did the association have an Awakened named Gu Ze?
It seemed not, right?
"He’s a newcomer,"
Su Yu explained, "He joined the association a few days ago. His superpower is Strength Enhancement, and he’s just an E-level Awakened."
"E-level?"
"An E-level Awakened? Chairman, are you kidding us? This guy named Li Ping came to find an E-level Awakened?"
"It’s not just you; even I find it hard to believe,"
Su Yu glanced at the chat window again and said, "You should come and take a look."
The other three heard this and looked at the screenshot on the screen.
"Chairman?"
"He’s the chairman?"
"When did this guy become the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association?"
The three had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
"I just confirmed it; this Li Ping is indeed the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association."
"This..."
The other three didn’t know what to say upon hearing this.
They could never have imagined that this audacious guy had turned into the branch office’s chairman...
"So, a branch office chairman came personally to find someone?" One of them asked in astonishment, "And it’s an E-level Awakened?"
"I also find it a bit strange,"
Su Yu, with his hands clasped and chin supported, said, "Let’s wait and see. If he’s really here to find someone, that’s good. But if he’s pretending to find someone and is here to cause trouble, we can’t let him act recklessly."
"Yes, Chairman!"
The three responded in unison, but their eyes still showed a trace of fear.
This guy’s combat power among C-level Awakened is definitely top tier, and from him daring to come alone, it showed his absolute confidence in his strength.
If a conflict broke out, their side definitely wouldn’t have it easy.
In the lounge.
Gu Ze had just finished his shower, changed into a white training suit, and was about to grab a meal when the phone on the bedside table rang suddenly.
"Hmm?"
He looked puzzled.
What’s going on?
Could it be the things he ordered? But they arrived a few days ago?
With curiosity, he walked over and picked up the receiver, "Hello?"
"Hello, is this Mr. Gu Ze?" A sweet voice came from the phone.
"Yes, what can I do for you?" Gu Ze asked.
"Well, Mr. Gu Ze, someone is here in the hall to see you. If it’s convenient, please come down as soon as possible."
"Someone’s looking for me?"
Gu Ze was even more puzzled, "Who is it?"
"It’s Chairman Li Ping,"
The woman glanced cautiously at Chen Fan and said.
"Li Ping, Chairman Li?"
Gu Ze was completely at a loss.
He tried to recall, but had no impression at all.
It made sense, since he hadn’t been in the association for long, and besides the Crescent Squad members, he knew no one else.
"Yes, Chairman Li is waiting for you. If you’re available, please come down quickly," the woman said with a hint of urgency.
"I don’t know him,"
Gu Ze blurted out.
"Ah?"
The woman was stunned.
"Let me talk to him,"
Chen Fan said.
"Okay,"
The woman quickly handed the phone to Chen Fan.
"Gu Ze, you know Chen Fan, right?"
Hearing this name, Gu Ze was stunned and quickly asked, "You, you are?"
"I’m his friend. He sent me to bring you to Anshan City. You should check your phone; he sent you a message you might not have seen."
Chen Fan got straight to the point.
"He sent me a message?"
"Yes, read the message, and you’ll understand the situation."
After saying this, Chen Fan returned the phone to the woman.
"Mr. Gu Ze, please come quickly," the woman said before hanging up.
"Chairman Li, would you like to sit in the conference room? I’ll make you some tea?"
"No need, I’ll wait here," Chen Fan waved his hand.
Gu Ze hung up the phone and recalled the conversation in his mind. He quickly took out his phone from the Space Items.
Sure enough, there was a new message from Chen Fan.
He quickly opened it and read it carefully.
By the end, his eyes were filled with shock.
Really? Has Chen Fan become so powerful?
He could even be friends with the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association?
Gu Ze couldn’t believe it and read the message several times.
The message was straightforward: Chen Fan was now doing well in Anshan City and had a good relationship with the Awakened Association. So, he wanted Gu Ze to develop his skills in Anshan City. But since Chen Fan was busy, he had asked Chairman Li to fetch him, so he’d be prepared.
Gu Ze couldn’t help pinching himself, wincing in pain.
It was real, not a dream.
So, the person he just spoke with was the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association!
Not only that, but he came here specifically to pick him up?
Unbelievable.
He was just an E-level Awakened. Among ordinary people, he was formidable, but within any Awakened Association, he was among the lowest ranks.
And this Li Ping?
Not only a C-level Awakened, but also a chairman!
"How strong is Chen Fan now?"
His mind was buzzing.
Being friends with a chairman and convincing him to come personally to fetch him—what did that mean?
Thinking about this, he felt a mix of shock and excitement.
Undoubtedly, if he went to Anshan City, with the chairman taking care of him, his treatment and position would be much better than here!
"I should go and confirm if this is true."
With a nervous heart, he walked toward the door.
At this moment, the hall was already filled with people.
The news of Li Ping’s arrival spread like a wildfire through the Wang City Awakened Association.
Especially since this Li Ping was the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association, the excitement reached its peak.
"Is it true that Li Ping is the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association?"
"Yes, absolutely! If you don’t believe it, look it up on your phone."
"I just did. He’s indeed the chairman. It’s amazing; I heard he joined the Stone City Awakened Association not long ago, and now he’s already the chairman of the Anshan City Awakened Association."
"Those who are capable excel everywhere."
"That’s true."
Many of the D and E-level Awakened present had some respect for Li Ping.
They knew the backstory, understanding that Li Ping refused to collude with other C-level Awakened, which led to the fallout with the Stone City Association.
They asked themselves: Would they reject such an offer if they were C-level Awakened?
Probably not.
"What’s he here for? To cause trouble?" someone whispered.
"What are you thinking?"
Someone nearby rolled their eyes, "He’s here to find someone."
"Find someone? Who?"
"I think it’s someone named Gu Ze, yeah, Gu Ze."
"What? Gu Ze?"
Nearby, a giant nearly two meters tall couldn’t help exclaiming.
