Sky-cracking Rider

Chapter 564: Section 560 - Telephone



The hover infantry armored vehicle slowly moved away. Peng Shutian, the former leader of the National Defense Star Aerospace Design Department who likes to latch onto others for support, had long since disappeared without a trace, and his "Plagiarist Ghost" special ability teammates were nowhere to be seen, probably having recognized the reality of facing the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee behind the Monk. If anyone dared cause trouble again, Miyoshi Xuesen wouldn't mind packing them all together, it would only mean an extra pair of chopsticks in the big jail. Chen Fei pushed the hopping "Plagiarist Ghost" towards Miyoshi Xuesen. "He has been injected with a supernatural ability suppressant, so he'll be safe for at least a week, and update your information, this guy can copy five abilities and maintain them for 24 hours, he's kept it way too deep." "Five abilities, 24 hours?" Miyoshi Xuesen, coming back to his senses, showed a look of surprise; such "ability copying" was simply too exaggerated. The vast majority of supernatural power users, after their Awakening, often have only one of the eleven major elemental systems, and dual-element ability users are extremely rare, not to mention triple-element ones are unheard of. The sudden emergence of a five-element ability user, even if temporary, only able to maintain the abilities for 24 hours, was still shocking. No wonder this "Plagiarist Ghost" had been so difficult to capture, using multiple abilities at once, not to mention ordinary people, even ability users had a hard time catching him. "Hmph!" Having his biggest secret exposed and left with nothing hidden, the "Plagiarist Ghost" snorted, then glowered at Chen Fei, grinding his teeth with a venomous threat. "You just wait, as long as I'm alive, I will copy your ability next time, and then use it to deal with you." This time it hadn't been a success, mainly because he was injected with the supernatural ability suppressant, which made even his original abilities malfunction, let alone the copied abilities of others. Chen Fei said indifferently, "Keep glaring, and I'll break your other leg too, haha, and by the way, you're welcome to try and copy my ability!" The threat from the "Plagiarist Ghost" meant nothing to him. It would be best if he also took the Dog System, which can't even fart after eating three sticks, when copying abilities. This stingy Dog System always hung useless skills in the "Skill Shop" to cheat him of his energy points without giving away any good ones, nothing like the AI "Adam" which was more useful. "Adam" might still not be truly tamed, but at least it was able to work, so what's the use of the Dog System? "You've worked hard, leave the rest to me!" Miyoshi Xuesen nodded and waved his hand. Two people approached from a distance, not dressed as ninjas, eyeing Chen Fei curiously while also offering an awkward smile. They seemed to be new recruits after most of the Bear Hunting Special Operations Division had disbanded and were lacking in real combat experience, otherwise their gaze towards Chen Fei would likely be filled with provocation rather than being devoid of aggression and hostility as it was now. The two, one on each side, neatly took the "Plagiarist Ghost" away, showing some training, at least not entirely clueless. "Newcomers joined later?" Chen Fei glanced at the two, then turned his gaze back to Miyoshi Monk. "They are fairly obedient!" Miyoshi Xuesen understood the meaning behind Chen Fei's gaze, put his palms together, and shrugged his shoulders. Apart from being obedient, they had no other strengths. "That must be tough for you!" Chen Fei expressed his sympathy with a double entendre for Miyoshi Xuesen, who lacked capable subordinates and yet had to undertake high-risk missions. Even if he were still in the Huntsman Squad with his former colleagues, the outcome probably wouldn't be much better now. The zero-tolerance stance of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee managed to kick Chen Fei out of Miyoshi Xuesen's hands which, in a sense, had also helped him dodge a bullet. Miyoshi Xuesen took out his mobile phone, tapped it a few times, then said, "5 million Star Yuan, it's been transferred, check your account." There had been no set price agreed between him and Chen Fei, payment was made and the prisoner was handed over, very straightforward. However, personal income tax still needed to be taken care of by individuals. Chen Fei's mobile phone beeped. After glancing at the screen, Chen Fei waved his hand and said, "Pleasure doing business with you, see you next time." He gestured to the three big fish in his hand and added, "Want one? I just caught it, it can be braised or turned into soup." "Amitabha!" Although he came from a family of Monks, he wouldn't eat meat carelessly, so he politely declined. ``` He really couldn't understand whether Chen Fei was going to catch a person or actually going fishing. "If there's nothing else, then I'm leaving!" "Amitābha Buddha!" Once free of entanglements, the Monk actually became a rather dull person; otherwise, he wouldn't have enjoyed the solitude of dim lights and brewing tea so much. As he watched Chen Fei's figure disappearing into the distance, Miyoshi Monk finally withdrew his gaze, turned his head towards "Plagiarist Ghost," who still had an unruly face, and his countenance fell. His voice seemed to freeze the air instantly, devoid of any emotional fluctuations, he said, "Take him away. If you dare resist, break his limbs!" Chen Xiao'er set a good precedent, and the Monk gladly followed suit. "What the! Hey hey hey, you can't be serious, right? Why are you all like this, eh? Ah? Ahh ahh ahh?" The "Plagiarist Ghost" was shocked, finding everyone followed the same pattern, all so ruthless. Having broken his left leg twice in succession, he simply couldn't stand to hear the words "break" anymore. Cursing and yelling in frustration, he was propped up and taken away by two people. He could sense the eager atmosphere brewing; it seemed these two were actually looking forward to breaking his other three limbs, or perhaps all four... Carrying three fish, Chen Fei got into the driverless taxi and pondered for a moment before instructing the taxi to head towards the Northern Weapons Industry Group's territory. It wasn't exactly appropriate to go there; both parties needed to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The man who had contacted Chen Fei on his own, Peng Shutian, was unconditionally fired, losing his golden job, which meant that National Defense Star had made its position clear. They had no intention of peeking at the Northern Weapons Industry Group's "Canglong" project through such means and wanted to maintain the rules of healthy industry competition. Since the industry peer had taken such a stance, the Northern Weapons Industry Group should also show some response. It seemed the suspicion between Chen Fei and Shen Fei and her father had been cleared, and the stance between the two parties had returned to the beginning. Chen Fei was not adept at these kinds of underhanded dealings, but he could still see clearly. It wasn't National Defense Star who had fired Peng Shutian, but his uncle. If the Northern Weapons Industry and National Defense Star were to reverse roles, the outcome of this matter would probably not be so simple. The driverless taxi stopped in the Northern Weapons Industry Group's residential area. Chen Fei took out his phone and dialed the number. "Hello, Chen Fei, where are you?" Shen Fei lowered her voice, with the sounds of other people occasionally mixing in, seeming to be in a meeting. "I caught three fish and would like to borrow your canteen to prepare them. Call your father over and let's have fish for lunch together." One person couldn't possibly eat so much fish in one meal; it was expected not only to involve Shen Fei and her father but also colleagues from Jiu Defense Company. The more people, the better – the goal was to finish it all in one sitting. Despite how easily he carried them, a regular person would probably need a large basket slung on their back to carry such a distance. The Jiu Defense Company's dormitory area simply lacked the facilities to cook, and even if they had all the pots and pans, they had no ingredients whatsoever. He couldn't produce so much only with his Special Ability. Xiao Jiu's Leg Ring did contain some supplies, but things like green onions, ginger, garlic, and cooking wine were indeed missing. Shen Fei whispered, "Hey, they're talking about you in the meeting right now. It's not convenient for us to meet." Her father, Shen Songling, had already reminded her they needed to lay low for a while to avoid drawing attention. Chen Fei reminded her, "It's convenient, very convenient. National Defense Star has already fired Peng Shutian. You should have received the news by now." "Who fired him? Who's Peng Shutian?" Shen Fei was confused. Chen Fei said, "The one who met with me in the bar. He had a pretty rough morning! You can verify this news. I'm at the main gate of the Northern Weapons Industry Group's residential area, waiting for your message." "I got it!" Teacher Shen immediately grasped the situation and understood the implications. Just then, in the meeting room, a vice president of the group company was challenging Shen Songling. Although it was not explicitly stated, the implications suggested Shen Fei's father was colluding with outsiders. "Wait for my call!" Shen Fei hurriedly told Chen Fei and hung up, raising her hand and immediately standing up. All eyes in the meeting room converged on her. Old Shen didn't know what had happened to his daughter, but after the phone call from who knows where, she seemed like a different person, taking the initiative to stand up to speak at such a critical moment. He gave his daughter a sharp look, signaling her not to act rashly. "Is there something you want to say?" The vice president who had been confronting Shen Songling paused his address, looking perplexedly at Old Shen's daughter. "I just received news that National Defense Star has fired Peng Shutian; he's the one who met with Chen Fei." Shen Fei's voice was clear in the meeting room. ```
