Chapter 307: Chapter 306: Are You Going to Attack Us? (Please Subscribe)
The sky was slightly dark, and from time to time, the roars of beasts could be heard from afar.
The Anshan City Awakened Association was ablaze with lights, creating a lively scene.
Gu Ze followed Chen Fan and stepped into the hall.
In the next moment, dozens of gazes in the hall gathered and fell on Chen Fan.
"President!"
"Good evening, President."
"Greetings, President."
Many people bowed and showed respect in their eyes.
"Hmm."
Chen Fan nodded slightly and glanced around, asking, "Where is the Vice President?"
Everyone exchanged looks, then their gazes fell on a slightly chubby middle-aged man wearing square-framed glasses.
"President."
The middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and said, "The Vice President went out with a few people. He probably won’t be back for a while. If you need anything, you can just tell me."
"I see."
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
The Vice President was likely handling the second task Chen Fan assigned, which was reclaiming land.
"He is my friend. Arrange a rest room for him later."
"Yes, President."
The chubby man cautiously glanced at Gu Ze and imprinted Gu Ze’s appearance in his mind.
Not only him, but everyone in the hall also stared at Gu Ze.
If the President said this person was his friend, their relationship must be close, right?
Just looking at this person, he seems a bit inexperienced, not too difficult to deal with. Maybe in the future, they could build a good relationship with him to please the President.
Chen Fan nodded and looked at Gu Ze, saying, "Follow me."
Gu Ze was startled and quickly said, "Yes, President."
Honestly, he was a bit nervous on the way here.
Although the possibility was small, Chen Fan couldn’t possibly harm him, but he still felt uncertain deep down.
However, everything that happened now allowed him to completely relax.
The two entered the elevator.
Gu Ze stood to one side, slightly lowering his head, not daring to make a sound.
Chen Fan found it amusing.
This boy had grown quite a bit during this time.
In the past, in the village, he was always very cocky, defiant toward everyone. After being outside for a few days, now seeing a strong person, he had learned to be low-key.
However, Chen Fan had no intention of revealing his identity to him.
Of course, it wasn’t because he didn’t trust Gu Ze, it just wasn’t necessary.
The elevator doors opened, and the two of them entered the President’s office one after the other.
Looking at the grand decoration inside the room, Gu Ze took a deep breath and said, "Pres... President, thank you for bringing me from Wang City, Chen Fan, he?"
"He’s in seclusion for cultivation. He should come out in a few days, and he’ll message you then."
"Alright."
Gu Ze silently breathed a sigh of relief.
When he meets Chen Fan, he plans to ask him about how he knows this big figure.
"President, please take this card."
In the next moment, he took out a Points Card worth two thousand points from his pocket and presented it with both hands.
"What is this for?"
Chen Fan frowned, "Do you think that I, a dignified President, would lack the two thousand points on your card?"
"No, no, President, that’s not what I meant, I..."
"Enough, someone gave this to you, just keep it. In the coming days, focus on your cultivation here. If you have any questions regarding cultivation, you can ask me or others. If you go out hunting, be cautious."
"Yes, yes."
Gu Ze nodded repeatedly.
"Hmm, if there’s nothing else, you can leave now."
"Yes, President."
Gu Ze gratefully looked at Chen Fan, put away the card, opened the door and walked out, closing the door carefully.
"Phew..."
After all this, he finally exhaled lightly.
What a terrifying aura.
Just one glance made his heart skip a beat.
However, to be fair, this President was indeed nice, not only bringing him from Wang City but also giving him two thousand points.
Two thousand points!
Gu Ze licked his lips, curious about what kind of good things he could unlock in the mall with these points.
He turned around and hadn’t walked far when the slightly chubby man from the hall downstairs came up smiling.
"Young brother."
"Hel... Hello," Gu Ze greeted quickly.
He wasn’t stupid, from everyone’s behavior earlier, he knew this kind middle-aged man in front of him must have a high position here.
"Young brother isn’t even twenty yet, call me Brother Chu if you don’t mind," Chu He said with a smile, "What’s your surname?"
"Brother Chu, my surname is Gu, as in the flood and expanse of ’Ze’." Gu Ze replied hurriedly.
"So, it’s Brother Gu, haha, I have already arranged the matter the President mentioned earlier. Brother Gu, if you have time, come with me."
"Thank you, Brother Chu."
"Haha, it’s nothing. After looking at the room, I’ll show you around the Association and introduce you to some people. The more, the merrier, right?"
The two walked away, and naturally, their conversation fell word by word into Chen Fan’s ears.
"Chu He, right."
Chen Fan’s lips curled slightly.
He didn’t mind people having some self-serving motives, after all, that’s human nature. Besides, with their help, Gu Ze’s growth would accelerate.
He really didn’t have much time to spend on Gu Ze himself.
"Next, it’s time to relocate the people from the village into the city. I hope the Vice President won’t disappoint me. Coming up..."
He walked towards the door.
The package sent from the headquarter of the Martial Arts Association had already arrived.
With new equipment in hand, he’d go to test its power against elite-level fierce beasts tomorrow morning, maybe even try it against a few commander-level fierce beasts.
Additionally, he had a Cloud Jade Fruit.
However, he felt that it might not help much now that he’s broken through to the True Essence Realm.
Currently, with twenty to thirty circulations of True Essence, he could increase a point of True Essence in about half an hour.
The last Cloud Jade Fruit he took only increased his True Qi by less than a thousand points, which meant about ten points of True Essence.
It had some use, but not much.
"Since that’s the case, it’s better to save it to help others break through to the Meridian Refining Realm."
This thought emerged in Chen Fan’s mind.
For instance, Uncle Zhang, his father, and Sun Wei.
Because of his unwillingness to compromise, Sun Wei didn’t get compensation from the headquarters. So he’d give him an eighth of the Cloud Jade Fruit to help him breakthrough from Transforming Force to Meridian Refining.
...
Meanwhile, in a villa’s living room on the northern hilltop, it was also brightly lit and crowded with people.
Unlike the Awakened Association, these people included adults, elderly, and children, nearly a hundred people.
At the front, several figures stood, the leader being Vice President Hua Jun.
"Hua Jun, did you call all of us here because you found out who killed my elder brother?" asked a man who looked somewhat similar to Yan Ming, showing no respect.
"Who exactly is the bastard that killed my son?" said a well-dressed old woman with a gnashing expression.
"Damn it, if I find out who he is, I’ll finish him off to avenge my brother!"
"Killing him is too easy, at least he should be chopped into pieces!"
Everyone spoke one after another, clearly, they were either Yan Ming’s friends and family, or former President Gao Jinming’s family.
Therefore, they didn’t have any respect for the people in front of them.
"Alright, everyone quiet down."
Hua Jun had a huge headache.
After several attempts, the noisy crowd finally quieted down and glared at him.
"I called everyone here today to discuss another matter."
"What, another matter?"
"Another matter?"
"What other matter? Hua Jun, you called us here not to tell us about the killer?"
"Sorry, the investigation is ongoing."
Hua Jun apologized, "The headquarters said they would send Hunters, but the specific time is unknown."
"What, you don’t know?"
"Why call us here if you don’t know?"
"It’s been so long, you still don’t know who the killer is? What is the Awakened Association doing!"
"What did you say!"
This statement angered several people beside Hua Jun.
In the past, when Yan Ming and others were around, these people acted superior, but now, Yan Ming and they are dead, most of these people are ordinary, even the few martial artists or awakeners are useless in combat, so what’s with the arrogance?
The person who said this seemed to realize the situation had changed, shrank back, but stubbornly said, "Since you don’t know who the killer is, calling us all here is a waste of time."
"Exactly, Hua Jun, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave and come back when you have news about the killer."
"Not interested, let’s leave."
"Speechless."
A group of people said, getting up and heading for the door.
"President!" Several awakeners were furious seeing this.
"Wait!"
Hua Jun frowned and suppressed his displeasure, saying, "Everyone, I haven’t finished speaking, you can’t leave yet."
As soon as he spoke, two awakeners blocked the path.
Instantly, the atmosphere became tense.
The previously arrogant crowd now showed fear.
After all, they were ordinary people, even skilled ones were limited, and definitely not a match for these few.
Blocked, it was natural to be scared.
Realizing this, many looked at the man who resembled Yan Ming.
He was Yan Ming’s brother, and most importantly, he was also an awakener.
"Hua Jun, what do you mean?"
Yan Hao turned around angrily, "My brother’s body is still warm, and we don’t know the killer, but you’re eager to act against us?"
