Chapter 1 Tian Ce Army?

“Tian Ce Army?”

Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately became vigilant. “Are you people from Xiao Tian Ce?”

“Well…”

Liu Yu nodded, immediately explaining in the next second.

“But Mr. Chen doesn't need to be nervous. We are here on official business. Mr. Chen’s personal grievances with the Military God have nothing to do with us.”

Chen Xiao smiled; he wasn't nervous.

Not only was he not nervous, but he also felt a hint of anticipation.

He had wanted to meet the number one on the Heavenly Ranking for a long time, but he just never had the chance.

As soon as Liu Yu's voice fell, Shi Lei said excitedly, “I really hope to see Mr. Chen and the Military God have a big fight! It would definitely be awesome!”

“Chatterbox!”

Liu Yu glared at Shi Lei fiercely. Shi Lei smiled sheepishly, but didn't really care.

Then Liu Yu explained again, “Mr. Chen, Military God Xiao is very busy. In fact, he has never taken your grudges with Xiao Li to heart.”

As she spoke, a complex expression appeared on her face. “In the Military God’s eyes, everything is about the country and the world. His own family affairs are what he cares about the least. As his family, that may be a great regret.”

“Alright, Liu Yu, stop being so sentimental. If you ask me, that little brat Xiao Li brought it on himself. If the Military God had taken him to the Northern Border to train earlier, he wouldn’t be in this situation today!”

As he spoke, Shi Lei gave Chen Xiao a thumbs up. “Mr. Chen, your actions are for the benefit of the people! And that trick of tattooing his face, how did you come up with that? So creative, so awesome!”

Chen Xiao gave an expression that he didn't really want to pay attention to Shi Lei, and changed the subject. “Didn't you say you were here on official business? Then let's talk about serious matters. Since you chose to come to me, there must be something you need me to do, right?”

“More precisely, we are seeking your help!”

Liu Yu said, “Anchen Technology, including Song Anran, is now surrounded by dangers. I believe Mr. Chen can guess that they are all here for the new transaminase.”

“The country is very concerned about this matter, so it sent our Dragon Group to carry out the protection mission. However, we don't have enough manpower, so we hope to get Mr. Chen's assistance.”

“Moreover, Mr. Chen, the fact that you leveled Ten Thousand Crane Mountain with a single sword has already attracted the attention of the country. We also hope that Mr. Chen can be a wise man of the times…”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed again.

“Miss Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?”

If there was an opportunity, Chen Xiao would naturally be willing to do things for the country where he was born and raised.

But volunteering was one thing, being coerced was another.

And Liu Yu's words were clearly laced with hidden barbs. To put it nicely, this was called co-opting.

To put it bluntly, it could be said in a very unpleasant way!

Chen Xiao only released a slight bit of pressure, and Liu Yu immediately felt difficulty breathing, instantly enveloped by a huge fear.

“No, no, Mr. Chen… we didn't mean that…”

Liu Yu gritted her teeth, barely managing to say intermittently, “Please… Mr. Chen… calm down…”

Chen Xiao withdrew his pressure, and Liu Yu instantly felt incomparably relaxed.

And only then did she notice that the pressure just now was completely locked on her alone.

As for Shi Lei and Luo Qian and others on the side, nothing happened to them. They were looking at her with puzzled expressions, obviously not knowing what was wrong with her.

In an instant, Liu Yu's back was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

To be able to control his pressure so precisely, this strength was terrifying!

Liu Yu had only felt the same aura on Xiao Tian Ce, which made her feel uneasy, fearing that she would say something wrong and anger Chen Xiao.

At this time, Chen Xiao said lightly, “Song Anran and I are good friends. Whether it's for personal or public reasons, I am obliged to protect her life. Tell me about the situation you currently have.”

Chen Xiao's tone was like he was ordering Liu Yu.

But Liu Yu didn't dare to show any displeasure at this, and reported in a serious manner.

“According to the information we currently have, there are dozens of companies, large and small, that want to get involved with Anchen Technology. Although they are all pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies on the surface, almost all of them represent the power of a country behind them.”

“Among them, the three most powerful companies are Aid Company from the United States, which represents the entire Western world, and its behind-the-scenes forces are intricate and complex.”

“There is also Mitsui Corporation, the strongest pharmaceutical company in Asia, whose backing is the Toyo Island country.”

“The last one, and the one that deserves the most vigilance, is the Gaeshi Group from Goryeo. The Kim family has wild ambitions. They are different from the other two companies in that they attempt to completely control Anchen Technology, using this as an opportunity to completely get rid of the United States' control over Goryeo!”

Hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully.

“Does the Kim family have such a big appetite? Aren't they afraid of bursting themselves? What is the origin of that Kim Jae-seok? Do you have any information about him?”

Liu Yu was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking, “Mr. Chen, could it be that you have already met Kim Jae-seok?”

Chen Xiao nodded. “I just met him. Is there something wrong?”

Liu Yu shook her head. “That's not the case. In fact, you are already quite an open card in Jiangcheng. The reason why the various forces have not acted yet is probably because of your deterrent power, in addition to their fear of each other!”

“As for Kim Jae-seok, he is not a real member of the Kim family. He is an adopted son of the Kim family and a member of the Night Group.”

Chen Xiao asked, “What is the Night Group?”

Liu Yu explained, “The Night Group is the Kim family's intelligence and assassination organization. They are the Kim family's claws. All members of the Night Group lost their parents since childhood and were strictly trained after being adopted by the Kim family. Those who perform well can reach the leadership of the Gaeshi Group, so they are loyal to the Kim family.”

“To put it bluntly, they are a group of hawks and dogs raised by the Kim family. The leaders of Goryeo often die mysteriously, and it is all the work of the Night Group.”

Chen Xiao nodded and asked again, “Then what is Kim Jae-seok's specific strength?”

“I know this!”

Before Liu Yu could speak, Shi Lei rushed to say, “I fought Kim Jae-seok three years ago. We were evenly matched. According to the international strength division, he is a B+ level ability user. Three years ago, I was ranked eighth on the Heavenly Ranking!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yu ruthlessly complained, “Can you two even call that evenly matched? Please don't mislead Mr. Chen, okay? You were almost beaten to death by him at the time, and you only escaped by luck. You also spent more than half a year recovering from your injuries after returning…”
