45: Chapter 45 The Burglaryer, Caught for Testing

Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu was entirely devoid of emotion. As the only Descendant of the Dragon coated in Carbon-9 molecular material, his defensive power had reached an almost terrifying level.

Having taken a punch from Tai Yuan, he showed no reaction whatsoever.

One claw gripped Tai Yuan's neck, while the other seized his left leg.

Like a lock, he pinned him in place.

And then!

He lifted him up horizontally.

He held him suspended in mid-air, rendering him completely unable to exert any force!

"Help, help, save me."

Young Master Liu was being held by the back of his neck by Cuihua, his feet off the ground. He had hoped Tai Yuan would save him, only to find that Tai Yuan was in an even worse state, already being held horizontally in the air.

Tai Yuan's strength had reached the B-sequence; if Tie Zhu didn't have the enhancement of the Carbon-9 Molecule, he might not have been able to pin his opponent down.

But!

At this moment, Tie Zhu was like a divine lock. He didn't possess lethal offensive power, but he had a terrifying defensive capability that left others helpless!

He didn't attack Tai Yuan either; he just held him firmly in a lock.

And he locked him in a horizontal position.

No matter how Tai Yuan struggled, he couldn't break through the other's defense.

"What the hell is this thing!"

Tai Yuan counterattacked several times to no avail. He could only maintain this position of being held aloft, cursing loudly.

And at that moment!

The loud shouting and the sounds of fighting in the living room woke up Jiang Chen and Xue Yao in the bedroom.

The two of them hurriedly dressed, came out, and turned on the living room lights.

The two of them watched in astonishment as Tie Zhu and Cuihua both maintained strange postures.

Tie Zhu seemed to be holding something up.

Cuihua was lifting something up.

It was as if they had caught something.

But their eyes could not see any physical objects.

They could only vaguely sense from the sounds of struggling that they seemed to have caught something.

"Reporting to Master, we have caught burglars who broke into the house."

Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu spoke.

Xue Yao frowned and walked up. She picked up a nearby broom and swung it hard several times toward the direction where Cuihua was holding something.

Crack.

The broom snapped in half.

"Fuck, it hurts, it hurts, stop hitting me!"

Young Master Liu screamed; his balls were almost crushed.

Jiang Chen frowned and also threw a punch toward the direction Tie Zhu was holding up.

Pfft!

Tai Yuan had just been looking down on Young Master Liu for not being able to withstand a few hits from a broom.

He suddenly vomited up everything he had eaten the day before yesterday.

He could no longer hold out. His Stealth Talent quickly faded, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

"Holy crap, there really are people!"

Qin Xueyao looked at this scene in amazement.

One was being pinched by the back of the neck by Cuihua, feet off the ground.

The other was being pinched by the neck and left thigh, suspended horizontally in mid-air.

"Isn't this that rich second-generation kid from the Pearl?"

Jiang Chen saw Young Master Liu and recognized him.

Young Master Liu's expression panicked as he hurriedly said, "We might have some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Go tell it to the Longan Department!"

Jiang Chen dialed the number for the Longan Department.

"Hello, Longan Department? I have... two burglars to hand over to the state."

After hanging up the phone.

Jiang Chen searched Tai Yuan's person, wanting to see what his identity was.

The result!

He didn't find any ID cards or anything of the sort.

Instead, he pulled out several bottles and jars.

Tai Yuan's gaze narrowed. Inside those bottles and jars were rare raw materials for synthesizing gene serums. He had spent many years to collect them all!

Seeing Jiang Chen staring at the jars, Tai Yuan pretended to be calm and said, "My health isn't very good; those are my medicines."

"Is that so? Well, they belong to me now."

Jiang Chen put away two of the valuable raw materials.

He had to be joking.

After drinking the Sigma Gene Enhancement Serum, his understanding of chemical materials surpassed that of top-tier scientists.

He knew exactly what these raw materials were for.

Among them was a small bottle of a mineral called [Xiwu]. Its content on Earth was low and required a long time to refine, making mass production basically impossible.

But now, it was fine.

As Xiwu was one of the three major raw materials for synthesizing the Sigma Gene Enhancement Serum, he had managed to get a bottle.

Tai Yuan's mouth twitched as he watched Jiang Chen take the items away; his heart was bleeding.

Not long after!

Minister Zhou Anbang personally brought a team of Gene Warriors over.

When he saw the metal door at the entrance that had been hollowed out by hand, he frowned slightly; this was not something an ordinary person could do.

When he saw the strange posture of the two 'burglars' being caught in the living room, he was slightly stunned.

"Reporting to the Minister, this person is a fugitive who escaped from prison two hours ago."

"This is the Emergency Arrest Warrant issued by the prison."

A subordinate identified Young Master Liu's identity.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Liu...

...instantly felt despair and regret!

Damn it, if I had known, I would have left the country immediately.

Now look at this.

It's going to become a life sentence!

Minister Zhou Anbang nodded. He walked toward Tai Yuan. As a B-sequence Gene Warrior, he had a hunch that the metal lock at the door had been hollowed out by this man.

"What sequence are you?"

Minister Zhou Anbang stared at him.

Tai Yuan looked at the man with his head sideways in an awkward position. He snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Not talking, are you? There will be opportunities to make you talk."

Minister Zhou Anbang waved his hand!

The Gene Warriors immediately used special weapons to handcuff and take him away.

"Mr. Jiang, are you two alright?"

Minister Zhou Anbang looked at Jiang Chen and Qin Xueyao and asked with concern.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "We're fine. With these two mecha-men, we are very safe."

With his strength, even if those two had attacked him, they wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

His only concern was Xue Yao.

However, these two mechas could use X-rays to scan for supernatural biological entities with Stealth Talents, so they could protect Xue Yao.

"Good, I won't disturb you then."

Minister Zhou Anbang led his people away.

On the way back to Longan, he instructed his subordinate: "Send a secret telegram to Long Xi. Tell her to come back and protect Mr. Jiang."

The subordinate was surprised: "Doesn't Long Xi only perform SSS-rank missions?"

For example, Minister Zhou Anbang himself was on the SSS-rank protection list.

However, he had B-sequence strength, so he generally didn't need anyone to protect him.

Minister Zhou Anbang said: "Supernatural biological entities have set their sights on Mr. Jiang. I plan to discuss with multiple departments to raise his confidentiality level to SSS-rank."

Once supernatural biological entities targeted an ordinary person, it would be dangerous if there weren't Gene Warriors protecting them at all times.

Those mecha-men, although they had powerful defense, lacked sufficient counterattack capabilities.

Furthermore!

Jiang Chen had already been appointed as the general person-in-charge of the 'Heavenly Soldiers and Generals' project.

His importance was no longer what it used to be!

"Yes!"

The subordinate hurriedly went to contact Long Xi.

Long Xi was an outstanding Gene Warrior from the Longan Department.

Later, she had also gone to the Dragon Group for intensive training.

Having undergone multiple gene serum enhancements and devilish training, she could easily deal with most supernatural biological entities below the A-sequence.

She had protected many important figures, including those at the ministerial level.

...

"Cuihua, you did a great job."

Qin Xueyao pinched the face of Celestial Soldier Cuihua.

Although the name Cuihua was a bit rustic, the face was very well-sculpted, looking like a loli.

Jiang Chen also patted Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu's shoulder: "Not bad. Next time you encounter burglars like this, give them a good beating first."

"Yes, Master!"

The couple spoke in unison, and then stood neatly in a corner of the living room again.

Like guardian gods!

"Let's go back to sleep."

With these two door gods, even if the door lock was broken, Jiang Chen and Xue Yao felt very at ease.

...

Jiang Chen took Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu back to the testing grounds.

But he left Celestial Soldier Cuihua with Xue Yao.

This way, she could protect Xue Yao and also collect social behavioral data everywhere.

This data could eventually be shared with other Descendants of the Dragon through information transmission.

"Little Jiang, I heard that burglars appeared at your place?"

At the testing grounds!

Xia Zhongxun inquired about Jiang Chen with concern.

Yesterday, he had learned from the Longan Department that thieves had appeared at Jiang Chen's residence.

But fortunately, the mecha-men discovered them in time.

Jiang Chen smiled: "Don't worry, with Celestial Soldier Tie Zhu following me, no thief can do anything to me."

"That's good! By the way, about what you told me this morning regarding applying to the Longan Department to have that thief specially transferred over, I've already spoken with Minister Zhou. He said they won't finish interrogating the person until this afternoon, and then they'll bring him over."

After Xia Zhongxun finished speaking, he also asked curiously, "What do you want that thief for?"

"Dean Xia, that thief is no ordinary thief. He is very strong. I plan to use him to test the combat power of the intelligent mechas."

Jiang Chen explained his testing plan to Xia Zhongxun.
