298: Chapter 298 Recruiting Ah Xin

The woman naturally knew what the two were going to do, but she did not voice any words of dissuasion.

Although Chen Fan had already given them a lot of wealth.

But having lived her entire life in the City of the Demon Dragon, how could she not understand the situation here?

Possessing wealth without the power to protect it would only end up benefiting others.

And this time, it might be a heaven-sent opportunity for the mother and son.

Although it was very dangerous, her son's mind was made up, and she had no ability to stop him.

"Mom, don't worry. I will make sure you live a good life."

A Xin clenched his fists, his tone firm.

Leaving some more food and drinking water for the woman,

Chen Fan took A Xin back to the unlucky guy's home.

A Xin checked around and didn't see the corpse, feeling a bit confused.

"Sir, where did you throw his corpse?"

Chen Fan raised his hand slightly, and the fat corpse fell to the ground.

A Xin had no intention of asking how Chen Fan did it; the moment he saw the corpse, intense hatred welled up in his eyes.

"You damn fatty, you finally got what you deserved!"

He rushed into the kitchen, grabbed two kitchen knives, and hacked away with both hands.

Blood, yellowed by being soaked in fat, splattered everywhere.

"Ugh..."

Jiu Jiu covered her mouth and turned away, unable to watch this disgusting scene.

Death was quite calm; after all, before meeting Chen Fan, he had eaten this kind of minced meat for many years.

It wasn't until the corpse was hacked into a bloody mess that Chen Fan pulled him away.

"What kind of grudge or enmity is this?"

A Xin's chest heaved rapidly. He gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"If it weren't for him, my dad wouldn't have died, and my mom wouldn't have to rely on selling blood to support the family. Everything our family is going through today was caused by him."

Hearing this, Chen Fan nodded slightly. "Hack a few more times."

"Huh?"

A Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and swung the kitchen knives again.

...

"Sir, what do you want me to find inside? Energy?"

A Xin put on a slightly luxurious robe, adjusted it, and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing A Xin, whose demeanor had completely changed, Chen Fan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Clothes really do make the man.

"Look for the place that produces energy; it's most likely on the roof or in the basement."

"By the way, who is in charge of the City of the Demon Dragon?"

A Xin frowned, a bit uncertain. "I heard it's the Pope, but the last time the Pope appeared was twenty years ago. Only warriors who have made outstanding contributions or possess extremely high Talent are granted an audience with the Pope."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow. "Is there anyone in the city now who has been granted an audience?"

"Yes, but they all live permanently in the church, serving the Pope."

Chen Fan nodded slightly and extended his right hand. "Don't resist."

"Recruit."

"Spirit Control."

Instantly, a strange feeling emerged in A Xin's mind.

It was as if he were omnipotent within the city.

The Chen Fan before him also became more intimate in his subconscious.

"I... what happened to me?"

A Xin looked at his own body, feeling a bit confused.

"You can borrow my domain power now, and I can also observe the inside of the church through your eyes."

A Xin's eyes lit up. "Then after I go in, I can talk to you, Sir?"

Chen Fan did not speak aloud but said through the Crew Member channel: "Of course. You don't need to speak; just sense it with your heart."

A Xin closed his eyes slightly, tested it, and replied on the Crew Member channel: "Sir?"

"I hear you. Let's go."

A Xin's eyes gleamed as he jumped onto the fat man's boat. "Once I'm inside, I will follow your instructions, Sir."

Chen Fan nodded, transferred 5,000 Energy points to A Xin, and then teleported with him all the way.

When they reached the corner near the church, A Xin nodded fiercely at Chen Fan, took a deep breath, and rowed the boat into the church.

With the ornate robe and a decent boat, the gatekeepers only glanced at him a few times before letting him in.

One young guard even respectfully cupped his fists at him.

This scene made A Xin tremble all over, almost giving himself away.

"Calm your mind."

Chen Fan's voice appeared at the right moment.

A Xin took a deep breath. "Understood, Sir."

The boat rowed slowly inside the church, getting closer and closer to the central building.

Chen Fan was looking at several bottles in his space.

Originally, he had intended to take the Talents of the people from District 3300 and others back for the women to fuse with.

But as it currently stood, there were a few Talents he urgently needed.

Shaking his head, Chen Fan took out two of the bottles.

"Fuse!"

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the player for fusing Talents.]

Scanning his skill bar, Chen Fan felt slightly reassured.

The skill he needed most right now was Shapeshift Exchange.

Chen Fan's plan was to switch positions with A Xin once he found the target.

This way, the moment he was discovered, he could steal the equipment capable of producing energy and then activate Spirit Realm Walking to make his escape.

As for the combination of Thin Burial and Self-Destruct, it added a terrifying burst capability to Chen Fan.

"Distinguished guest, please show your energy balance."

Just as A Xin walked to the entrance of the central building, a worker in black approached him.

When he met the worker's gaze, A Xin subconsciously grew nervous.

"Don't be afraid. Show him the energy bottle." Chen Fan spoke again.

A Xin acknowledged, then lowered his head and fished the bottle out of his pocket.

After averting his gaze, his nervousness dissipated a lot. His palm gripped the bottle tightly; the number "5000" displayed on it gave him immense confidence.

"Five thousand. Is that enough to go in?"

The worker shuddered instantly upon hearing this.

He looked at the bottle in A Xin's hand in disbelief, and after confirming that he wasn't lying, his back noticeably bowed.

"Of course it's enough, Sir, you're joking. Please, this way."

With that, he stepped slightly to the side, clearing the way for A Xin.

A Xin's eyelids twitched, then he suppressed the nervousness in his heart and stepped onto the stairs.

Chen Fan's gaze was fixed intently on A Xin, ready to issue instructions at any moment.

Only when he stepped through the door did Chen Fan breathe a sigh of relief.

There was nothing unusual ahead; A Xin walked into the building smoothly without triggering any alarms.

"Sir, can you see?" A Xin walked gently.

Through his eyes, Chen Fan scanned the area and then nodded:

"I can see. Don't arouse suspicion; just act like them and walk around."
