"Luo Chen, you're being a bit too impulsive."
Mei, who was following behind, looked at Luo Chen with concern: "Although the Kugimiya family's sphere of influence isn't very large, they still have a certain influence in Changkong. What you're doing..."
"Do you think the whole of Europe is bigger, or Changkong City is bigger?"
Luo Chen interrupted Mei and turned to ask her. He squeezed Yuno's slender hand slightly with the hand holding Yuno's left hand, causing a blush to appear on her face.
Why are you asking this? That's not what we're talking about right now.
Watching the interaction between the two, Mei couldn't help but feel displeased, staring intently at their clasped hands.
"So, do you think Europe is harder to manage, or is it the long skies?"
Luo Chen still didn't answer Mei's question, but instead became the riddle teller.
"Europe." Seeing that she might not know the answer if she didn't cooperate, Mei continued along with Luo Chen's words.
“That’s right.” Luo Chen looked at Mei, released Yuno’s hand, and then stroked Mei’s head with the same hand, his tone light: “What I want to tell you is that since Europe is more difficult to manage, why should I, who has relatives in the European management, be afraid of that idiot?”
"But Europeans can't control the skies either."
Yuna stopped crying, her eyes still red as she looked at Luo Chen, still very worried.
"Don't underestimate my backer; she's much bigger than you can imagine."
Luo Chen looked at the two of them, still with that same smiling face. He patted their heads, then turned to look at the bustling street.
"Don't worry, she can't cause any trouble. With me here, and you and Kiana, you'll be safe."
Turning around, Luo Chen looked at the two people staring at him and took one of their hands, saying, "Alright, let's go. If we don't leave now, I'll be late for my appointment."
Chapter 8 The storm is coming
"How is Raiden Mei doing?"
Inside ME Company, a blonde woman looked at the monitor in her hand and casually asked the man standing opposite her a question.
"Um, Lady Cocolia, there might be a slight problem with the plan."
The man answered tremblingly, his palms sweating profusely.
"Oh, what's the problem?"
Cocolia stopped what she was doing, looked up at the man, her gaze sharp.
Seeing Cocolia staring at him, cold sweat poured down the man's back, leaving him no choice but to bite the bullet and answer.
"The original plan was to let Raiden Mei lose her way in the public opinion and then spiral out of control, but..."
"But what?"
Cocolia's expression visibly turned cold. She had finally managed to remove the Thunder Dragon from the stage and was about to begin her plan when she was told that the plan had gone wrong, which made Cocolia very unhappy.
"However, according to our observation, Raiden Mei has not been affected by public opinion. Even the people we sent to kidnap her have disappeared without a trace."
"How could this be?"
Cocolia was slightly surprised, knowing that Raiden Mei was just an ordinary young lady before, so it was impossible for her to be unaffected by her arrangements.
“It’s like this, Lady Cocolia.” The man continued, “After several disappearances, I investigated and discovered that Raiden Mei has someone protecting her all along.”
After speaking, the man handed the documents in his hand to Cocolia and silently waited for her to finish reading them.
"Luo Chen? I understand."
Looking at the documents in her hand, Cocolia's face darkened. She said to the man, "I'll handle the rest. You just need to focus on collecting the Conquest Gem."
"Yes. I understand."
"Okay, let's go down."
After the man left, Cocolia crumpled the documents in her hand into a ball and threw them into the trash can. She looked at the person sitting in the chair with a hostile expression and muttered to herself, "Luo Chen, I have to take care of him. My plan must succeed."
……
"I'm so bored, I don't want to listen to the lecture."
Luo Chen sat in his seat, propping his head up with his hand while complaining, completely ignoring the teacher's gaze on him from the podium.
As it turned out, Mei and the others' worries were completely unnecessary. After treating Yuno's injuries, Luo Chen went straight home and called Kiyono Hatsuyuki, who was in Europe, to explain what had happened. The next day, when he went back to school, the entire class acted as if they had forgotten what Luo Chen had done, not mentioning a word about it. This made Mei truly realize the immense power behind Luo Chen.
After spending about three more months at school, Luo Chen constantly lamented how boring life was, finding the same routine every day rather dull.
"Bell—ring—"
Hearing the bell ring and seeing the teacher on the podium immediately pack up and leave the classroom, Luo Chen stood up and walked straight out of the classroom.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Feeling his phone vibrate suddenly in his pocket, Luo Chen took it out and glanced at it, only to find that it was Qingye Chuxue calling him, which made him even more puzzled.
"Xiao Chen, my friend in Chang Kong said he saw a creature that looks like a Honkai Beast in the suburbs. Why don't you go and take a look?"
Luo Chen answered the phone and, upon hearing Qingye Chuxue's voice, felt somewhat curious.
"Auntie Chuxue, why did you look for me first when a Honkai Beast appeared?"
"There's no other way," Kiyono Hatsuyuki sighed. "I don't have the authority to deploy Valkyries from the Far East branch, so I have to ask you for help."
“Okay,” Luo Chen replied, “I’ll go right away.”
"Okay, I'll send you the location now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kiyono Hatsuyuki hurriedly hung up the phone, and the next second Luo Chen received the location information.
"Some are busy."
Luo Chen looked at his phone, his eyes gleaming. He then went back into the classroom and said to Yuno and Mei, "I have something to do. Please ask for leave for me."
Mei, unsuspecting, nodded and looked at Luo Chen: "Do you need any help?"
"No need," Luo Chen shook his head. "See you tonight."
……
"Is this it...?"
Luo Chen stood outside an abandoned factory, holding a straight knife he had brought from home, looking slightly puzzled.
"The Honkai energy concentration around here isn't that high, so how come there are Honkai Beasts?"
With that, Luo Chen withdrew his senses of Honkai energy and slowly walked towards the factory in front of him.
Standing at the factory gate, Luo Chen began to sense that something was wrong.
"There's a strange smell around here."
Luo Chen sniffed lightly, sensing a mixture of gunpowder and some indescribable pungent odor inside the factory. He drew his straight knife and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
Gently pushing open the factory gate, Luo Chen saw a completely dark scene inside. He was certain that something was wrong, but he didn't go in. He just stood there.
"Boss, what do we do? That kid won't come in."
Seeing Luo Chen standing there for a long time without coming in, one of the men in black asked his boss with a hint of anxiety.
"No rush. According to the information given by Lady Cocolia, this guy will definitely come in. We just need to kill him inside."
The leader of the men in black said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the knife in Luo Chen's hand, filled with fighting spirit.
One minute, two minutes, ten minutes...
Seeing that Luo Chen had been standing there for more than ten minutes, the man in black who had just spoken was speechless: "Boss, why is that kid just watching?"
"Alright, let's call the brothers to go."
Hearing what his younger brother said, the eldest brother couldn't sit still any longer. Just as he was about to call the brothers, he saw Luo Chen slowly walk in.
"Get ready quickly."
The leader gestured to those around him, then tensed up, gripping his long knife tightly with both hands, ready to strike.
Seeing that Luo Chen had arrived at the designated location, the group of people in the darkness suddenly sprang into action and attacked Luo Chen's position.
Seeing the group of people attacking him, Luo Chen revealed an expression of "I knew it," holding the knife horizontally in front of his chest with his right hand and supporting the back of the knife with his left hand, calmly looking at the crowd.
"Boy, today is your death day! Blame it on you for disrupting Lady Cocolia's plans."
Seeing Luo Chen's calm expression, the eldest brother became slightly angry and shouted at Luo Chen as he slashed down with his long sword.
"is it?"
Luo Chen sneered, gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slashed forward fiercely, unleashing the Honkai energy attached to the blade, forming a sword aura that quickly swept past Luo Chen.
Seeing the blade energy rushing towards him, the leader's pupils contracted sharply in alarm. He quickly stopped what he was doing, desperately pushing off the ground with his right foot, barely managing to jump out of the range of the blade energy.
"what!"
Hearing his underlings' voices, the leader turned around with a sense of lingering fear. He saw that the two men who had just been following him were already separated from their bodies, their upper bodies lying not far from their lower bodies, blood flowing continuously from the cuts, and they were still shouting.
"you you……"
Seeing how terrifying Luo Chen's strike, imbued with Honkai energy, was, the leader looked at him in utter horror, speechless.
"What, continue?"
Seeing that the remaining men in black were standing still and dared not make any rash moves, Luo Chen felt somewhat bored.
"Who was so arrogant just now?"
