Chapter 294 Unstoppable Force (Please Subscribe)

Xiao Hong stared intently at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe that this guy would dare to kill him right in front of the president.

Because it's obvious to everyone that the president's attitude is to downplay the matter and let it go. He will return to headquarters to accept punishment, and Chen Fan will receive compensation from headquarters. Isn't that a win-win situation?

But how dare Chen Fan disobey the president's orders? How dare he?

Xiao Hong was filled with grief and indignation.

He was unwilling to accept it, he was really unwilling to accept it!

As the number one person below the True Yuan Realm in the association, how could he die here in such a humiliating way?

He was just one step away from becoming a True Essence Realm martial artist!

The roar in his heart seemed to have exhausted his last bit of life force. His consciousness gradually faded, and finally, with a thud, he collapsed to the ground.

His body remained in the same position, his eyes wide open like copper bells, his death unresolved.

Sun Wei's eyes widened as well. His gaze shifted from the corpse on the ground to Chen Fan, his mind buzzing.

He didn't see wrong, did he?

Brother Chen killed Xiao Hong right in front of the president?

That's the president of the association!

The number one martial arts expert in the entire Jiangnan District Martial Arts Association!

By doing this, Brother Chen has essentially slapped the president across the face! One can only imagine what kind of scene will unfold next.

I'm afraid that kicking Brother Chen out of the association would be the least of our worries. It's possible that the president might even come directly from headquarters to settle scores with Brother Chen!

Why, why make things come to this?

Sun Wei sighed deeply.

Headquarters has already agreed to provide compensation, hasn't it? And it sounds quite generous. More importantly, this time, it was a close call, wasn't it? There were no irreparable consequences.

It's really not that bad.

Chang Fei, watching from the screen, was also stunned.

His body seemed frozen in place, staring motionlessly at the corpse on the ground.

Xiao Hong? Dead?

Xiao Hong, who was the most promising candidate to break through from the Refining Meridian Realm to the True Essence Realm in the headquarters, died just like that.

He died just like a dog on the street... He was a martial artist that headquarters had painstakingly trained with great effort!

Then, his gaze slowly shifted to Chen Fan, who had a cold expression, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He knew it, he knew it, that this young man wasn't so easy to fool.

The first time he dealt with Chen Fan, he judged that this person seemed easy to talk to, but in fact had a bottom line. As long as you don't cross his bottom line, everything is fine.

However, once you cross his bottom line, you will definitely regret it.

The current situation provides an excellent explanation.

Moreover, he had a premonition that Xiao Hong's death was probably not the end of the matter, but just the beginning.

Of course, he was also very worried at the moment, wondering what the president was thinking and what he would do to Brother Chen.

"You killed him; shouldn't your anger have subsided a bit now?"

Just then, Shi Tao's voice rang out. His tone and expression were exactly the same as before, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Fan looked at Shi Tao on the screen.

The latter said calmly, "If you have no objections to the compensation we just discussed, I'll have Chang Fei collect it and send it to you later."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wei's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.

At the same time, he felt more and more that this president was unfathomable.

Chen Fan killed someone from headquarters, someone he was secretly trying to protect, yet the latter remained calm and even said he would continue to fulfill the previous agreement and compensate Brother Chen. Such magnanimity is worthy of the president.

"That's right, Brother Chen." Chang Fei smiled and said, "Seven Demon-Slaying Arrows, plus two Cloud Jade Fruits. If you want anything else, feel free to ask."

Xiao Hong's death was a great pity.

However, it would be worthwhile if it could eliminate the sense of distance Chen Xiao felt towards headquarters.

After all, this was Xiao Hong's own fault.

As for Ling Yu...

A serious look flashed in Chang Fei's eyes. After the video call ended, he would have to remind the president again that Ling Yu needed to be disciplined more. The president was able to protect him this time, but what about next time?

"Need not."

Chen Fan stated firmly, "I don't want any of this compensation. What I want is the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wei, and even Chang Fei, felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Shi Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Didn't Xiao Hong say the truth of the matter before? The whole thing was done by him alone, and you heard it too."

Is that really the truth?

Chen Fan asked.

That is the truth.

Shi Tao answered without hesitation.

The atmosphere quieted down again.

The two stared at each other, and the air seemed thick with tension.

Sun Wei was so frightened that he fell silent, his face turning pale and then red.

Chang Fei's complexion wasn't much better.

He coughed and said, "Brother Chen, no matter what the truth is, Xiao Hong is already dead, isn't he? Moreover, the chairman and I can promise you that what happened today will never happen again. If it does happen again, I, Chang Fei, am willing to atone with my death."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Fan with a pleading look in his eyes, as if to say, "Brother Chen, let's leave it at that."

If we continue to pursue this matter further, it won't be good for anyone, will it?

Chen Fan looked at Shi Tao and knew that whether he liked it or not, things could only go this far today. Continuing to stalemate would only be a waste of time.

But it was precisely because of this that his suspicions grew even stronger.

Is it possible that even Ling Yu isn't the real mastermind behind this? Is the president standing before him right now the real mastermind?

If that weren't the case, why would he insist on protecting Ling Yu?

Finding out these things is simple in a way, because as long as you get in front of him, he can use the Soul Transfer Technique to find out everything.

With this in mind, he took a deep breath, looked at Chang Fei, and said, "President Chang, let's call it a day."

Chang Fei immediately felt relieved and smiled, "Brother Chen, as for compensation, headquarters..."

"No."

Chen Fan interrupted him, saying, "I will investigate this matter further."

"!"

Chang Fei was dumbfounded, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak.

"Ling Yu, is it? Please tell him, Chairman Shi, that I will go to headquarters to find him soon and find out what exactly happened today."

If this matter has nothing to do with him, then I am willing to apologize to him. If he instigated this, then even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, I will not let him go.

Upon hearing this, Chang Fei's face turned pale, and he unconsciously looked at Shi Tao on the screen.

The latter maintained a calm expression and said, "Alright, I will convey these words to him for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Shi."

Chen Fan said calmly.

"You're welcome."

After Shi Tao finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said, "Recently, the ferocious beasts have been behaving strangely, and Anshan City is not very safe. If you are willing, you would better move to the headquarters as soon as possible."

Chen Fan remained silent.

Shi Tao gave him a deep look and then cut off the communication.

"call……"

Chang Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, it's finally over.

He was genuinely afraid that the tense atmosphere just now would lead to a violent conflict between Chen Fan and Shi Tao.

At that time, whatever the outcome, it will not be what he wants to see.

However, he also secretly admired Chen Fan.

Since the association's inception, apart from Chen Fan, there has been no one else who has dared to challenge Chairman Shi.

"Young Master Chen, why are you doing this?"

After gathering his thoughts, Chang Fei sighed and said, "I know you must be furious about what happened, and you might even suspect that the chairman is behind it all. But I guarantee you with my integrity that the chairman would never do such a thing."

"So, this was done by that Ling Yu?" Chen Fan asked.

"Young Master Chen, I didn't say that."

Chang Fei shook his head with a wry smile.

On one side is Chen Fan, whom he has carefully cultivated a good relationship with; on the other side is the chairman, and the reputation of the headquarters is at stake. He cannot afford to favor either side.

"Ugh."

He sighed and said, "Brother Chen, think it over carefully. If you change your mind, you can call me anytime, and I can add more items as compensation."

Seeing that he had not received a reply from Chen Fan, he sighed again and cut off the communication.

"Chen, Brother Chen?"

Sun Wei tentatively called out twice, and seeing Chen Fan looking at him, he smiled wryly and said, "Brother Chen, in my opinion, why don't we leave this matter here? Putting everything else aside, Anshan City is ultimately not a place to stay for long."

"To put it bluntly, if a beast tide breaks out one day, this place could fall in the blink of an eye. If you ruin your relationship with headquarters like this now, it won't be easy to clean up the mess later."

"President, have you forgotten that this person almost killed you just now?" Chen Fan asked, glancing at Xiao Hong's corpse.

"Of course I haven't forgotten, but since even the president has intervened, perhaps we should..." Sun Wei hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"I haven't forgotten either, so I must find out exactly what happened. No matter what others say about me, whether they're being serious or ungrateful, I only know that I won't offend others unless they offend me, and if they do, I'll repay them tenfold."

"But……"

Sun Wei couldn't help but say, "Ling Yu, he, he is the president's closed-door disciple. If this was really Ling Yu's doing, the president will definitely stop you if you try to kill him."

He thought to himself, just like this time.

Anyone with eyes can see that Ling Yu is definitely involved in this matter, but the president is determined to protect him.

"When that day comes, he better not stop me, otherwise," Chen Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "I'll kill anyone who gets in my way."

"Thump!"

Sun Wei plopped down on the ground, a look of horror on his face.
