Chapter 293 You Dare to Kill Me?! (Please Subscribe)

Chen Fan stared at the middle-aged man appearing on the screen.

It has to be said that this man, even without saying a word, just standing there, gave people a suffocating feeling of being crushed by Mount Tai. The aura he exuded was the most powerful he had ever seen.

This, on the contrary, fueled his fighting spirit.

Another point is, what about Ling Yu's?

Why didn't he appear on camera with the president?

"This boy is not to be underestimated."

Shi Tao appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

Even the presidents of the other divisions, intimidated by his imposing presence, dared not meet his gaze for long, and there was not a single person under the age of thirty who dared to look him in the eye.

But this young man in front of him, who was only twenty years old, or even seventeen or eighteen, dared to look him in the eye. His spirit was far superior to Xiaoyu's.

This also suggests that today's matter is probably not as easy to resolve as one might imagine.

However, since he had already promised Ling Yu, he would naturally keep his word.

"cough."

Chang Fei quickly coughed and took the initiative to introduce, "Brother Chen, this is the president of our Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association. President, this is Brother Chen Fan."

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

Shi Tao nodded approvingly and said, "Brother Chen, I have understood the whole story. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"it is good."

Chen Fan said, "I'll wait and see."

Shi Tao nodded, then looked at Sun Wei and said, "President Sun, you have suffered an undeserved misfortune because of this matter. Don't worry, headquarters will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"No, I wouldn't dare, I would, Chairman." Sun Wei was too nervous to speak.

He never dreamed that one day he would be able to speak to the president alone.

Shi Tao's gaze finally landed on Xiao Hong. "Xiao Hong, you just said that Ling Yu instructed you to do this, is that right?"

Yes, yes.

Xiao Hong nodded repeatedly, crying, "President, I admit my mistake and I'm willing to accept any punishment from headquarters. But Ling Yu was also involved in this, or rather, he was the mastermind behind the whole thing."

As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

Now, Ling Yu must know that he betrayed him, and given his character, he certainly won't let him off the hook.

Since we've already offended them, we might as well go all the way.

"Yeah?"

Shi Tao replied, "Is that really the case? Think about it again."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Chen Fan, was stunned.

Because his two sentences were quite meaningful, weren't they?

Xiao Hong was also stunned, staring straight into Shi Tao's eyes.

"I just asked Ling Yu, and he said that he did find you last night and mentioned Brother Chen Fan to you. However, he didn't ask you to come to Anshan City to take Brother Chen away, not even a hint. Is that correct?"

Shi Tao's expression was like an ancient well, calm and unfathomable.

Chang Fei turned his head in shock and stared at Shi Tao.

What does the president mean by that?

Was it an implication or a threat to Xiao Hong?

Xiao Hong's body trembled.

The next moment, he replied repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Chairman, I'm sorry, I was wrong, no, last night Ling Yu found me and talked to me about Brother Chen. He was very envious in his words. After he left, I had some wicked thoughts."

I was thinking that if I kidnapped Brother Chen and took him to headquarters, would that be enough to win over Ling Yu? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that way, so I set off from headquarters early this morning and headed here.

I never expected Brother Chen to be so powerful. I was no match for him. To save my own life, I shifted all the blame onto Ling Yu. Chairman, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong.

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present stunned.

It's a complete 180-degree reversal.

"So that's how it is, Xiao Hong, you really are incredibly audacious!"

Shi Tao's eyes were filled with icy coldness. "I trusted you so much and trained you as a key martial artist, and this is how you repay me? Not only did you harm the brothers in the Children's Association, but when things were exposed, you even tried to drag others down with you. You have disappointed me greatly."

"I'm sorry, President. I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. President, I'm willing to go back to headquarters and accept punishment," Xiao Hong said hurriedly.

In reality, he was overjoyed.

Clearly, the president wanted to protect Ling Yu and try to downplay the matter.

That would be perfect for him.

As one can imagine, apart from the few people present, no one else in the association would know about this, so there was no need to worry about their reputation being ruined.

Moreover, with the president mediating, Ling Yu couldn't do anything to him.

As for the consequences, it would mean offending Chen Fan and Sun Wei, and also offending Chairman Chang. However, given the current situation, choosing to stand on the side of the General Manager is the best option.

As for Chairman Chang, he would definitely side with the chairman. Even if he didn't like him, he wouldn't deliberately target him.

Sun Wei, a mere Qi Refining Realm martial artist, what's so special about him?

The most troublesome one is Chen Fan.

This person's strength is unfathomable; it's best to stay away from him in the future.

"Hmph, wait until you get back to headquarters, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Shi Tao said coldly.

"Yes."

Xiao Hong lowered his head, his heart bursting with joy.

Well, I'm sure I'm safe. I'll accept the punishment; it's better than losing my life.

"President..."

Upon seeing this, Chang Fei hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

Nobody's a fool; anyone with eyes can see what's going on.

Is it really okay for you to do this?

Shi Tao glanced at him, and the latter immediately looked away.

"Brother Chen, this matter was indeed the headquarters' fault. On behalf of headquarters, I apologize to you. How about this, whatever your request is, just say it. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you. Besides that," Shi Tao said with a smile.

"I don't know if you'd be willing to come to headquarters. I have some expertise in martial arts, and perhaps I can give you some pointers."

Upon hearing this, Chang Fei and the others widened their eyes. Even Xiao Hong, who intended to keep a low profile and avoid attracting hatred, cast an extremely envious glance at Chen Fan.

My God, is the guild master planning to take Chen Fan as his last disciple?

As everyone knows, among so many talented young people at headquarters, only Ling Yu has won the favor of the president and been taken in as a disciple for training.

Chang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he felt in his heart that Chen Fan was very likely to be at the True Yuan Realm, there was still a big difference between the True Yuan Realm and the True Yuan Realm.

Take him for example, he's only at the second level of the True Essence Realm.

Even if Shi Tao used the strength of the first level of the True Essence Realm, he would still be no match for him, let alone the former who was already at the third level.

With Brother Chen's talent and the guidance of the president, his future achievements are limitless.

That's right. If Brother Chen goes over and stays with Ling Yu, it's probably unrealistic to expect that no conflict will break out.

"President Shi, do you really think this way of handling things will satisfy me?" Chen Fan asked rhetorically.

Shi Tao chuckled and said, "Isn't this just letting you name your terms? The Demon-Slaying Arrow? Or the Cloud Jade Fruit? Or any other rare and precious materials? As long as headquarters has them, we can compensate you."

"That's not what I want," Chen Fan said coldly.

Shi Tao's smile gradually froze, and he asked, "Then what do you want?"

"I demand an explanation."

Chen Fan pointed at Xiao Hong and said, "I want to know who exactly sent him here."

"Brother Chen, didn't you hear clearly just now? No one told him to come; he came on his own," Shi Tao said.

"Yeah yeah."

Xiao Hong hurriedly chimed in, "Brother Chen, I lied to you before. No one instructed me to do this. I was blinded by greed and acted out of self-interest."

Later I said that Ling Yu orchestrated this whole thing, just to drag others down with him so you'd let me go. Really, I'm telling the truth, do you believe me?

Seeing this, Sun Wei wanted to persuade Chen Fan to let it go, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Even he could tell there was something fishy going on.

The president has made it very clear, he's practically saying I'm going to protect Ling Yu, so there's no point in pursuing this any further.

"Young Master Chen, shall we just let this matter rest?"

Chang Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Didn't you say before that you wanted a full ten Demon-Slaying Arrows? Headquarters has already sent three to you, and there are seven left. Headquarters will try to gather them up and send them to you. Also, here are two more Cloud Jade Fruits, okay?"

"Besides that, please feel free to ask if there's anything else you'd like."

As he spoke, he frantically gave Chen Fan meaningful glances.

You absolutely mustn't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Chen Fan glared at Xiao Hong, then looked at Shi Tao and said, "So, the president thinks that's how it is? That Ling Yu doesn't even need to come out and defend himself, right?"

"Brother Chen, I know you're angry, and I understand your feelings. But this matter really has nothing to do with Ling Yu. I asked him before, and he didn't have the courage to lie to me."

Shi Tao said with a smile.

"Okay, very good."

Chen Fan took a deep breath.

He slowly walked up to Xiao Hong.

"Chen, Brother Chen?"

Xiao Hong felt a tremendous sense of crisis welling up from the depths of his heart. A fawning smile appeared on his face as he said:

"If you have something to say, then say it properly."

"Brother Chen, what are you going to do? Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive!" Chang Fei seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen and hurriedly shouted.

The smile on Shi Tao's face vanished, replaced by a chill in his eyes.

"Since you've admitted that you did this all by yourself, you must be prepared to pay the price."

"You, you dare to kill me?" Xiao Hong was extremely shocked.

You should know that the president is watching right there on the screen.

Not only the General Manager, but also Chairman Chang was there!

Chen Fan did not answer, but walked in step by step.

Xiao Hong turned deathly pale with fright and screamed hysterically, "President, save me! Save me! The..."

"Brother Chen, don't be impulsive, calm down, calm down!" Chang Fei said in a panic.

"Brother Chen, no!" Sun Wei tried to pull Chen Fan back.

But it was still too late.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Chen Fan struck Xiao Hong's chest with his palm, unleashing a torrent of powerful true energy that tore the latter's heart meridian to shreds.

Blood gushed from Xiao Hong's lips like a river bursting its banks.
