Chapter 285: Chapter 283: Something’s Not Right (Please Subscribe)

"Take, take you to see him?"

Upon hearing the request of the strange man in front of her, the woman’s face was filled with awkwardness.

She indeed recognized Chen Fan, but they were merely acquaintances who exchanged nods. Admittedly, the latter never seemed like a pretentious person; he would always give her a slight smile whenever they met.

But after all, he was a bona fide Entry Force Martial Artist! He was not someone people like them could just meet whenever they wished.

Moreover, the man before her was of unknown origin, and he wore a mask...

The man frowned at her hesitation.

At this moment, a man in his early thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, walked over.

"Xiaoxu, what’s the matter?"

As he spoke, the man cast a curious glance at the masked man.

"Manager Wang, this gentleman wishes to find someone here," the woman said hurriedly.

"Find someone?" Manager Wang looked the masked man up and down and said to the woman, "Alright, I got it. Leave this to me, you go and attend to others."

"Yes, thank you, Manager Wang." The woman looked at him gratefully and quickly ran off.

"May I know your name, sir, and who you are looking for in our association?" the man asked with a smile.

The masked man frowned, appearing somewhat impatient, "Where is Chen Fan?"

"Chen, Chen Fan?"

A look of caution flashed across the man’s eyes as he said, "Sir, might I ask what you need with Mr. Chen?"

"Why?"

The masked man let out a playful smile, "Do I need to report to you first before I can find him?"

"I didn’t mean it that way, sir," the man smiled and said, "It’s just a rule of our association. If you don’t tell us the reason, we can’t report it to the higher-ups. We ask for your understanding."

"Report to the higher-ups?"

The masked man muttered under his breath.

It seemed unrealistic to rely on these people to find that kid’s whereabouts.

Very well, then I’ll seek out the chairman first. If the chairman cooperates, that would be best. If he’s too clever for his own good, don’t blame me for using some methods.

"For you to demand a reason from me, you don’t have that qualification. Who is your chairman here? Tell him to come out and see me immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent. Many staff members and martial artists cast astonished glances their way.

Who the hell was this guy?

How could he be so arrogant?

In all fairness, the man did exude an aura of danger.

The man was a bit taken aback but forced a smile and said, "Sir, if you want to meet our chairman, at least give me a business card? Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to..."

He hesitated.

"A business card?"

The masked man sneered, "Just tell him someone from headquarters is here, waiting in the lobby."

"What! He’s from headquarters!"

"Headquarters!"

"Oh my god, he’s from headquarters!"

Instantly, the sound of discussions filled the air.

At first, the martial artists who felt a bit annoyed by this man’s attitude now looked at him with eyes full of admiration, as if they’d seen their idol.

They had always dreamed of going to headquarters, even if just to take a look.

And this man was actually from headquarters. Could his status and strength be trivial?

"Headquarters."

Manager Wang was also shocked, his eyes bulging like saucers.

"What? You don’t believe me?"

The masked man squinted.

"No, no, I believe you, Elder Xiao. Please wait a moment; I’ll go notify the chairman right away."

With that, Manager Wang turned around and hurried upstairs, not even bothering to take the elevator.

"Hmph."

The masked man Xiao Hong swept his gaze across the room, and no one dared to meet his eyes or even breathe heavily.

Seeing this, the disdain in his eyes grew stronger.

A bunch of local martial artists who had not seen much of the world.

It wasn’t even half a minute before hurried footsteps sounded from upstairs, and those familiar with them immediately recognized them as Chairman Sun Wei’s.

Soon, Sun Wei arrived in the lobby in a hurry. Seeing the figure standing there, exuding a powerful aura, especially those eyes that gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Without a doubt, he must be a powerful martial artist!

His pupils instantly dilated, and he quickly walked forward, bowing with reverence, "I didn’t know the senior was visiting. I apologize for not meeting you earlier. Senior, please."

Sun Wei said, making a gesture of invitation.

At this moment, he was extremely nervous inside.

He couldn’t have imagined that after Xia Tian and the others left, another person from the headquarters would arrive, and this one’s aura was even stronger than Xia Tian’s.

Could it be...a True Essence Realm Martial Artist?

The thought crossed his mind.

"Are you the chairman here?"

Xiao Hong looked down at him from his standing position and asked.

"Yes, yes." Sun Wei nodded continuously, beads of cold sweat inadvertently falling from his forehead.

The others were even more awestruck upon seeing this.

This was the demeanor of a powerful martial artist! Even the chairman had to be respectful and dare not offend him in the slightest.

"Hmm."

Xiao Hong nodded, "You have someone named Chen Fan in your association, correct? Where is he? Take me to him immediately."

"Ah?"

Sun Wei’s mouth opened wide with surprise on his face.

This guy was here to find Brother Chen?

"What ’ah’?"

Xiao Hong’s face turned cold, "Do you not understand human language, or do you need me to repeat myself?"

"No, no, I understand, senior."

Sun Wei waved his hands frantically.

"If you understand, then take me there now."

Xiao Hong said.

Indeed, he was here under Ling Yu’s orders to take Chen Fan, who was practicing alchemy, back to Jiangnan City.

If Chen Fan cooperated, that would be best.

If he refused, he would first make him suffer a bit and then make him comply.

Before he set out, Ling Yu specifically instructed him not to reveal his true identity. Hence, he wore a mask. Otherwise, if the matter got out, it would be hard for Ling Yu to explain, and he would be the one to suffer.

"Well..."

Sun Wei hesitated for a moment, thinking that maybe it was Chairman Chang who sent this man to take Brother Chen to headquarters? But why didn’t Brother Chen mention it yesterday? Perhaps Chairman Chang only decided today?

Although he was reluctant to part with Chen Fan, going to headquarters would be safer and beneficial for Chen Fan’s development.

But why was this man wearing a mask?

To be safe, he tentatively asked, "May I know your name, senior? What is the reason for taking our Brother Chen?"

Xiao Hong shot him a cold glance.

Had it been before, he wouldn’t have even bothered to look at, let alone answer the questions of a mere Transforming Force Martial Artist.

But to prevent complications, he decided to answer.

"It’s a direct order from the chairman to bring Chen Fan to the headquarters base. It’s an urgent matter and cannot be delayed. Do you understand?"

"An order from the chairman?"

"Heaven, the headquarters sent someone to take Chen Fan away!"

"Headquarters values Chen Fan so much!"

Everyone around was filled with envy.

For one, headquarters was a hundred times safer than Anshan City! Not to mention all the various powerful martial artists there.

"An order from the chairman? You mean Chairman Chang?"

Sun Wei asked subconsciously.

"Hmm."

Xiao Hong responded, urging, "I’ve told you what you need to know. Now, isn’t it time to take me to him?"

"Yes, yes."

Sun Wei quickly agreed, but internally he had doubts.

Strange, because during his last call with Chairman Chang, Brother Chen had clearly stated he wouldn’t go to headquarters in the short term. Chairman Chang had understood and said that if Brother Chen changed his mind, he could inform him anytime.

And when Brother Chen returned at noon yesterday, he hadn’t mentioned leaving. They even had private opportunities to talk. If Brother Chen had said anything to Chairman Chang, he would have informed him, surely.

But he didn’t.

Why had Chairman Chang suddenly sent someone to take Brother Chen?

Maybe it was a sudden event, and there was no time to notify him.

Chang Fei headed toward the elevator.

"Things are going smoother than I thought."

Xiao Hong noticed, a smirk forming under his mask.

Next, he should be able to meet that alchemy kid. freeweɓnovel-cøm

Being able to refine nine top-grade True Qi Pills in one furnace, that’s indeed a remarkable skill.

Once he brings this kid back, having him refine pills for Ling Yu would not only benefit Ling Yu, but Xiao Hong would also have enough True Qi Pills to potentially break through to the True Essence Realm.

Thinking of this, his arms shook with excitement.

Suddenly, Sun Wei in front halted, as if he remembered something important.

"What’s wrong?"

Xiao Hong’s voice was cold.

"Senior, you haven’t told me your name yet,"

Sun Wei said with a smile.

He remembered Chen Fan, who liked to wear a mask when out, hiding his identity.

This person in front of him also wore a mask, probably for the same reason.

Of course, it was personal freedom; he had no right to interfere.

But since this person was now taking Chen Fan to headquarters, shouldn’t he at least know who the person from headquarters was?

Even if it wasn’t said now, it had to be said when they met Chen Fan later, right?

Xiao Hong’s expression changed, and his voice grew colder, "What do you mean by asking that? Do you think I’m lying to you? Or don’t you trust the headquarters?"

"No, no, senior, I meant no disrespect,"

Sun Wei was startled and quickly said, "I was just asking."

"Don’t ask unnecessary questions. My identity is a secret of the headquarters, understand?"

"Yes, yes."

Sun Wei heard this and became even more uneasy.

Even if what this person said was true, if his identity was so confidential, then Chairman Chang would have specifically called to explain, wouldn’t he?
