Watching Chen Fan's figure gradually disappear into the crowd, Shao Yuandong's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Before meeting Chen Fan in person, he actually had some doubts about the other party's strength.

Especially after being reminded by the other two presidents.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Han Xu, after all, the two had known each other for so many years, but rather that he felt Qin Jin and the others in Anshan City might have exaggerated their claims.

He had hardly ever heard of this small, obscure city, yet there was a person there who could easily kill a beast king-level ferocious beast. If this were told to others, most people out of a hundred would probably not believe it.

Even when he met Chen Fan, he was somewhat probing, wanting to see if this guy was really that formidable.

A treasure worth over ten million points is no joke. If he lends it out and can't get it back, he'll really lose a fortune. If the other two guild leaders find out, even if they don't say it openly, they'll laugh at him behind his back.

As a result, Chen Fan suddenly produced several treasures that could only be found in secret realms, which completely shattered his worldview.

You should know that he didn't dare to enter those secret realms easily, because in the past, many A-level awakened individuals had died inside them.

At this point, he no longer had any doubts about Chen Fan's strength, because he was able to return safely from the secret realm with a large amount of spoils. Two beast king-level ferocious beasts were really nothing in front of him.

"President."

Han Xu withdrew his gaze and sighed, "Chairman Li is indeed upright and honest. He just handed over more than ten rare and precious materials worth millions to us like that. He's not worried at all that we might do anything underhanded."

"This is a kind of self-confidence."

Shao Yuandong's gaze sharpened slightly. "A kind of confidence in one's own strength."

Han Xu was taken aback, then nodded.

Yes.

Li Ping wasn't worried about him or the chairman doing anything underhanded, or even about him turning his back on the chairman and denying everything.

Because his strength far surpasses that of anyone in the branch, even if you include everyone in the entire Giant City, there are very few people who can pose a threat to him.

That's why he handed over a treasure worth 20 to 30 million points as a deposit.

If he and the chairman dare to do anything underhanded, they will surely regret it later.

"Let's go."

Shao Yuandong turned around.

Next, he should contact the presidents of the other two branches.

On the one hand, it was to fulfill Chen Fan's request.

On the other hand, it also serves as a way of proving himself.

In the early hours of the morning, both of them questioned his gaze.

Now, I wonder what they will think after learning what just happened.

"By the way, President."

Han Xu suddenly remembered something, glanced at the hall, and said, "Qin Jin and the others are back. Chairman Li brought them with him. Would you like to meet them?"

Just as Chen Fan was making the call, he received a call from Qin Jin.

I simply didn't have time to attend to that, so I told the others to wait aside.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Shao Yuandong's eyes lit up.

Where are they?

Although he learned from Han Xu what had happened to An Shancheng late at night.

But Han Xu had only heard about it from others. How could his understanding of the situation at that time possibly match that of Qin Jin and the others who witnessed everything?

Of course, if you want to know, it's better to ask Chen Fan.

He was too shocked at the time, and seeing the latter's hurried manner, he doubted that the latter would have the leisure to stay and talk to him.

"President, please wait a moment while I bring them over."

Han Xu hurriedly replied.

He was actually eager to find them and get to the bottom of things.

A short while later, he led Qin Jin and the others toward the chairman's office.

"President, what does President Shao want to see us about?"

Qin Jin followed behind Han Xu and asked somewhat nervously.

The people behind him also looked very nervous.

After all, he was the president of the association, an A-level awakened one. They rarely even had the chance to meet him, let alone now that President Shao had specifically requested to see them.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing."

Han Xu patted his shoulder and laughed, "Didn't you guys go to Anshan City this time? Chairman Shao just wanted to ask about the situation and what happened early this morning. Just tell him what you have to say then."

"So that's how it is."

The group exchanged glances.

This result was not unexpected.

Han Xu led them to the office door, which was ajar. Han Xu knocked symbolically before leading them inside.

"President."

"President."

The group quickly greeted each other.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shao Yuandong walked over, his gaze softening as he looked the group over. "The road back this time must have been full of ferocious beasts. Did none of you get hurt?"

No, no.

The men shook their heads vigorously, like rattles.

"President, thanks to President Li for bringing us back, otherwise we definitely wouldn't have made it back."

"Yes, there are just too many ferocious beasts. Even the commander-level beasts are everywhere. If it weren't for Chairman Li, we wouldn't be standing here now. We would have been devoured by the beasts long ago, leaving not even bones behind."

"President Li is a really nice person. He wasn't angry when he knew we were leaving. Instead, he offered to see us off."

"cough."

Seeing that the people in the team were talking non-stop, Qin Jin quickly coughed to interrupt them.

Immediately, the excited group fell silent and looked at Shao Yuandong with restrained expressions.

"Hehehe, it's nothing," Shao Yuandong said nonchalantly. "I invited you here because I wanted to hear about your affairs in Anshan City, especially those related to that Chairman Li. Please have a seat."

He pointed to a few sofas on the side.

"Please sit down."

Han Xu saw them looking at him and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

The group then sat down, and Shao Yuandong gave each of them a disposable paper cup and poured them water from the kettle.

"Yes, Chairman."

Qin Jin was startled. While blocking the paper cup, he said, "President, we're not thirsty. Besides, if we were thirsty, we could get it ourselves. There's no need to trouble you."

"Yeah yeah."

The others also looked flattered.

They all knew in their hearts that the other party's actions were partly a performance, but they still felt a warm feeling rising in their hearts.

Seeing this, Shao Yuandong smiled, put down the teapot, and said, "Okay, remember to let me know if you get thirsty later."

The group nodded in agreement.

Looking at Shao Yuandong sitting right in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

Their own guild leader, a well-known A-level Awakener in Juque City, was right in front of them, and was treating them very kindly. If word got out, they could brag about this for the rest of their lives.

However, they also knew that the reason for this was not because they were so capable, but because they benefited from the influence of Chairman Li.

If they hadn't shared the events of Anshan City in the early hours of the morning with Chairman Li, then this chairman in front of them would absolutely not have shown their faces.

Qin Jin glanced around and couldn't help but ask, "President, what about President Li?"

He's gone.

Shao Yuandong saw what he was about to ask and shook his head, saying, "He's been gone for several minutes, hasn't he? What, do you need him for something? He should be back in a few hours. I'll have someone let you know then."

He didn't know the exact nature of Chen Fan's relationship with these people, so he fulfilled their small requests whenever possible.

No, no, no.

Qin Jin shook his head and waved his hand, "I was just asking, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Hehe, it's nothing. If you have anything to say, you can let me pass it on."

"No, President, we said goodbye to him when we came back. Besides, President Li is so busy, we shouldn't bother him any longer." Qin Jin smiled and asked, "President, you want to know what happened after we arrived in Anshan City, right?"

"good."

Shao Yuandong smiled and nodded.

"Alright, then I'll tell you about it, Chairman..."

Qin Jin began his story by recounting how he and his companions received Han Xu's instructions.

Before long, Shao Yuandong and Han Xu both showed expressions of shock.

"What did you say? Chairman Li predicted the location of the ferocious beast in the city and told you in advance?"

Shao Yuandong opened his eyes wide.

"Yes,"

Qin Jin had anticipated this reaction. He ran his fingers across his spatial ring, and an envelope appeared in his hand.

"President, this was given to me by someone from Chairman Li. I've kept it until now as a memento."

He opened the envelope and took out the map inside.

Shao Yuandong and his companion looked and, sure enough, there were several circles on it, along with annotations.

Clearly, this is true.

"And then?"

Han Xu asked excitedly, "What happened next? Could it be that, as marked on this map, a ferocious beast appeared?"

"Yes."

Qin Jin nodded solemnly, "Whether it's the time, place, or scale of the appearance, it's all exactly as described."

"this!"

Han Xu couldn't believe it.

Shao Yuandong also looked at the other people.

"Yes, guild leader, the captain is absolutely right. At first, we didn't believe it either, until we saw the first wave of ferocious beasts appear with our own eyes."

"The same applies to the subsequent waves; the facts are exactly the same as what Chairman Li told us."

The others also chimed in.

To be honest, they still can't believe it.

However, as people who experienced it firsthand, they know better than anyone that it is real, that everything is real.

"How is that possible?"

Shao Yuandong uttered four words.

What a terrifying ability it is to foresee the future!

There are so many awakened individuals, and the awakened abilities are incredibly diverse, but those who awaken time-related abilities are extremely rare.

But isn't Li Ping's special ability speed? Why can he foresee the future?

"Besides this incident, are there any other similar cases?"

He pressed for an answer.

This is truly unbelievable.

"this……"

Qin Jin thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "Chairman Li only gave us this one task. After we completed it, he let us leave. Oh, I remember now!"

He suddenly realized, "President Li must have known that the beast tide would attack Anshan City at dawn, so he made preparations two or three hours in advance. President, shouldn't that serve as proof?"

Shao Yuandong thought about it and felt that this was a bit of a stretch.

Anshan City is heavily besieged by ferocious beasts. Anyone with a normal mind knows that the beasts will definitely launch another attack sooner or later.

Moreover, for a powerful figure like Chairman Li, it would be an easy matter for him to check on the situation of the ferocious beasts outside.

If the ferocious beast makes any unusual movements, he can easily detect it in advance. To explain it by precognition is a bit of a stretch.

Qin Jin and the others exchanged glances.

That's all they know.

After all, you can't just go up to someone and ask them about something like this, can you?

"President."

At this moment, Han Xu said, "I think we should pretend we didn't hear anything. Regardless of whether Chairman Li really has the ability to foresee the future, if it gets out, it will bring him some unnecessary trouble. If this happens, your chairman should be able to easily figure out that it came from us."

"good."

Shao Yuandong nodded.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

"You too."

He looked at Qin Jin and the others, "If anyone asks you about this in the future, don't mention it, understand?"

"Yes, Chairman."

The group quickly nodded.

Someone opportunely offered a compliment, saying, "It's only because of you, Chairman, that we're saying this. If anyone else had asked, we absolutely wouldn't have revealed a single word."

Shao Yuandong smiled slightly and then asked, "What was the situation when the beast tide broke out? I heard Lao Han talk about it before, but his account was definitely not as comprehensive as yours."

"That's how it was back then."

Qin Jin described in great detail the situation inside and on the city walls, as well as outside the city.

In addition, Shao Yuandong and his companion would occasionally ask about details along the way, and more than an hour passed in the process.

In some places, Qin Jin repeated himself three or four times, but the two still didn't find it long-winded; on the contrary, they listened with great interest.

Even after listening to it all, I still felt like I wanted more.

"pity."

Shao Yuandong slapped his thigh, "If only I could have been there and witnessed this scene."

As the ancients said, "One man can hold the pass against ten thousand."

This Chairman Li was even more ruthless; he single-handedly held off a million ferocious beasts, preventing them from advancing an inch. In the end, not a single one of them was spared.

"Yes, even if we can't be there in person, it would be good to have a video recording," Han Xu agreed.

Qin Jin and the others could only manage a wry smile.

Things aren't as wonderful as they seem.

Those involved must have been terrified!

Even knowing the outcome, the thought of having to go again still fills them with dread. (End of Chapter)
