Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

To be honest, Wang Chen had no interest in bullying ordinary people.

So even though the bartender's attitude was quite poor just now, he did not get angry or retaliate.

Unfortunately, some people just like to push it, and won't be convinced until they get slapped!

"Boring."

After knocking away a few construction workers who aided the evildoer, Wang Chen shook his head, stood up, and prepared to leave the bar.

He didn't want to argue with these people anymore.

"Stay here for me!"

However, just as Wang Chen stood up, a figure shot towards him like an arrow leaving the bowstring, a clenched fist whistling through the air!

Hmm?

Wang Chen's eyes focused, he raised his hand, spread his fingers, and grabbed the opponent's fist.

This punch had at least a ton of impact!

Unfortunately, against Wang Chen, it didn't budge him at all and instead fell into his grip.

The one punching Wang Chen was a young man with an imposing appearance, clearly not expecting his full force blow to be easily blocked by Wang Chen, and he couldn't pull his punched fist back at all.

The young man's face flushed, struggling mightily to tug back, trying to break free from Wang Chen's control.

But his fist, held by Wang Chen, seemed rooted!

Strugging was futile, veins bulged on the young man's forehead as he suddenly lifted a leg attempting a side kick attack.

But just as he moved, Wang Chen abruptly twisted his wrist, causing the world to spin for the young man.

With a forward push from Wang Chen, the young man, who was evidently a superpower, flew out like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed into quite a few people present.

And Wang Chen's move intimidated quite a number of restless individuals.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, a scar-faced burly man suddenly pulled out a revolver, with a hideous look aimed at Wang Chen, about to pull the trigger.

BANG!

A crisp gunshot suddenly resounded.

The scar-faced burly man shuddered all over, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in his forehead, and he collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Old Liu!"

The surrounding construction workers were in uproar, and some were so scared they retreated continuously.

But no one dared to take action against Wang Chen anymore — including the young superpower who was just struggling to get up.

Because, in Wang Chen's hand, at an unknown time, appeared a shiny silver revolver.

Just its quality was superior to the scar-faced burly man's.

Even more superior was Wang Chen's shooting skills!

"Anyone else?"

Wang Chen calmly asked: "Step forward if you're not convinced."

The crowds in the bar looked at each other, revealing expressions of anger and helplessness.

But there were also those fearless ones, gritting their teeth and growling low: "Just you wait, our Blue-collar Workers' Union won't let this death go in vain!"

"Doesn't the Empire's law apply here?"

Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh: "Or are you saying the Tampas Star is under your union's rule?"

He placed the revolver on the bar counter and sat back down: "Then I'll just wait here and listen to what your so-called Blue-collar Workers' Union has to say!"

At this time, a person sitting near the door quietly slipped out while Wang Chen wasn't paying attention.

In fact, his sneaky actions couldn't escape Wang Chen's perception, but Wang Chen didn't bother to stop him.

The atmosphere in the bar turned silent and oppressive, with over a hundred people facing one Wang Chen. Although their hearts burned with anger, they suppressed their emotions, not daring to explode.

They had no choice, how could flesh and blood resist bullets!

"Who exactly are you?"

The only one still daring to speak was the young superpower.

He stared intensely at Wang Chen, gripping his swollen right wrist with his left hand, his voice filled with unwillingness and discontent.

Wang Chen's gaze fell on him, and he asked with interest: "Is your superpower from genetic awakening or natural awakening?"

This young superpower clearly hadn't received any combat training, relying entirely on brute force for attack, belonging to a typical power-enhancing type of ability.

In fact, if he mastered the skill of exerting force, even doubling his attack wouldn't be a problem!

The young superpower didn't want to answer, but under Wang Chen's gaze, he felt like he was facing a terrifying beast, instinctively generating a fear rooted in his genes.

"Na-natural awakening."

After speaking, fine beads of sweat already formed on his forehead.

Wang Chen smiled and said: "Natural awakening is rare, and the growth potential is high, you should cherish your talent."

As one of the founders of the Empire's super ability system, Wang Chen had read a lot of research and experimental data on superpowers, and could be considered an expert in this field.

The young superpower couldn't bear the pressure and lowered his head.

Meanwhile, others around found it strange.

There was still a corpse bleeding on the ground, yet the killer, Wang Chen, was chatting calmly as if life was insignificant, which made them shiver.

A few minutes later, the bar's door suddenly was slammed open.

A group of people burst in aggressively.

Seeing the newcomers, the construction workers in the bar all showed expressions of joy, as if they had found their backbone and were no longer afraid.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a serious expression, who asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"

The next moment, this middle-aged man saw Wang Chen sitting at the bar, and his face suddenly changed dramatically.

Wang Chen smiled slightly: "Major Mu, long time no see."

The man was indeed Mu Haitao, the leader of the survivors of the former B00785 backup base, an Imperial Army major, and an A-rank War Professional!

Mu Haitao gave a wry smile: "Chief Wang, when did you come back?"

"I came back quite a while ago."

Wang Chen said: "You all didn't leave?"

Among the group that followed Mu Haitao, there were a few familiar faces Wang Chen had seen before.

Mu Haitao shook his head: "This is our home, where else can we go?"

The question and answer between the two confused everyone in the bar.

No one expected Wang Chen to know Mu Haitao, and seemingly quite well.

Wang Chen stroked his chin: "What's going on here?"

Mu Haitao hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "Old Liu shouldn't have drawn a gun, he brought it upon himself, Chief Wang, let's talk somewhere else."

Although many showed expressions of resentment, no one protested, indicating Mu Haitao's high prestige.

Wang Chen nodded: "Alright."

So he followed Mu Haitao to a building not far from the bar.

The two sat down in a room, and Mu Haitao sighed: "I'm considered retired now, currently the president of Delray New City's Blue-collar Workers' Union, sorry for causing you trouble."

This A-rank War Professional carried a very humble demeanor, speaking politely.

Because he well understood, Wang Chen was not someone he or his people could afford to provoke.

As for the reckless Old Liu, he could only blame his own bad luck!
