Witnessing this scene, Chang Fei and the others felt mixed emotions deep inside.
They knew the President had no choice but to act this way.
But...
"President."
Shen Si glanced at the sleeping Ling Yu and couldn’t help but say, "Brother Chen is coming this time, if he really intends to confront Xiaoyu directly, doing this might be useless because he cultivates the Emperor’s Qi Observation Skill. Not to mention if Xiaoyu is hiding in the headquarters, he won’t escape Chen Fan’s perception even if he hides in Jiangnan City."
"So formidable? He could be found even if hiding in Jiangnan City?" Chang Fei widened his eyes in astonishment.
It’s important to know that Jiangnan City is a major city, with a scale ten times that of a medium-sized city, and its population is close to ten million.
"That’s right, because even I, with some time expended, can achieve that level. Brother Chen’s abilities far exceed mine, so there’s no reason he couldn’t do that, alas."
He looked at Ling Yu and sighed again.
As an elder who watched the latter grow up, he certainly didn’t wish for Ling Yu to have his dantian abolished and become a cripple, because in a certain way, this would be more painful than killing him.
And Chen Fan was a man of clear distinctions between gratitude and enmity.
If his people faced danger, even at the risk of offending powerful individuals, he would intervene. Conversely, if an enemy offended him, no matter the backing they had, he wouldn’t show mercy.
Shi Tao didn’t speak, he extended his right hand, a two to three centimeters high pyramid appeared in his palm.
"Yellow Sand Tower!"
A voice of astonishment arose around them.
"If that’s the case, it could work indeed."
Shen Si murmured to himself.
The Yellow Sand Tower can contain living creatures, humans naturally included, and can isolate external perception.
Only the person holding the Yellow Sand Tower can use Spiritual Power to perceive everything inside.
As his words fell, Ling Yu’s body was absorbed into the tower.
Shi Tao took a deep breath, hid the Yellow Sand Tower close to his body, then looked at the few people in the office with a solemn tone, "If Chen Fan asks about Ling Yu’s whereabouts, you only need to say you don’t know, understand?"
"Yes! President!"
The few people responded in unison.
They naturally wouldn’t disobey Shi Tao’s orders.
"Alright, let’s continue discussing the previous matters."
Shi Tao’s gaze fell on the screen, unaware that the group of people on the screen was quickly hurrying their way.
"President, as we mentioned earlier, Brother Chen likely anticipated these people coming to cause trouble. If this guess is false, that would be ideal, but if true, it will be troublesome."
Shen Si said with a grim face, "Song Daoquan is a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, although only in the early stage, he has surely received guidance from the other two Celestial Realm Martial Artists in the Song Family on many occasions, acquiring rich combat experience, and has mastered a Supreme-level Martial Arts skill. If you confront him, the chances are, you would suffer considerable losses."
The others deeply agreed with his words.
Although the President was also an early stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist, however, only having broken through not long ago, Five-Thunder Transformation Hand, Vajra Indestructible Body in perfection, expertise in Undying Seal Technique, despite all three being Supreme Martial Arts skills, they couldn’t compare with Supreme Martial Arts.
"Besides Song Daoquan, there’s also Carl of the Larsen Clan, he not only interacts with the Song Family but also has considerable ties with several other families in Yan Country. If he exerts his full power, his strength would be equivalent to an early stage Celestial Realm Martial Artist. If they both come, they equate to two Celestial Realm Martial Artists arriving at once. Without Elder Wang stepping in, we definitely can’t withstand them."
Shi Tao nodded.
He was naturally aware of these details, which is why he made some preparations, such as calling Elder Wang, hoping he could return, not to intervene, just to deter them. Yet, after multiple attempts, none were answered.
It was clear that something must have happened with Elder Wang, otherwise, he surely would have answered his calls.
"Don’t worry too much."
He spoke softly, "I’ve already had people inquire about the Song Family’s situation. If there’s any movement over there, we would receive news immediately. Even if the pair decides to come, there should still be some time left, sufficient for us to prepare."
"Alright."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, they all knew the Song Family would eventually come, and sooner or later they would have to face them.
"Try contacting Elder Wang again later, if still unreachable, we may have to seek assistance from other Martial Arts Associations."
Shi Tao thought to himself.
Even one Song Daoquan alone, he wouldn’t have much assurance in a confrontation.
At this moment, the silence was broken by a sudden ringtone.
Shen Si smiled awkwardly at the crowd, thinking the timing of this call was really unfortunate. After checking his phone, his smile froze instantly, his voice tense, "Pres- President, it’s, it’s Brother Chen."
"!"
Everyone in the room simultaneously widened their eyes.
Chen Fan’s call, does it mean he has arrived?
"Answer it."
Shi Tao said.
Shen Si answered the call and activated the speaker so everyone could hear the voice on the other end.
"Hello? Chairman Shen," Chen Fan’s voice sounded, "I’ve arrived at the headquarters lobby, where are you?"
"With the President here." Shen Si quickly replied, "Brother Chen, stay put in the lobby, I’ll come find you right away."
"Alright."
Chen Fan said and directly hung up the call.
"That speed, is it too fast?" Chang Fei couldn’t help but remark.
"Indeed, I remember Anshan City is over a thousand, nearly two thousand kilometers away from here?"
"Did he set off early this morning?"
