303: Everything was calm, and we had our second conversation.

“Huh? He disappeared again!”

Cold Peak sensed something was wrong and shot up from the bed!

But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he was startled by the sudden appearance of Chen Beixuan. He instinctively triggered a counter-attack.

His head subconsciously dodged backward, and his hands crossed in front of him to block.

His back foot struck the ground with a ‘clang’!

He was on high alert, as if facing a formidable enemy!

It wasn't until he clearly saw it was Chen Beixuan that he finally exhaled, a hint of resentment on his face.

“Chen Lao, what is this…?”

Instead of using the main door, he had to phase through the wall to scare him. He thought something serious had happened.

“Your Zero Bureau should have a way to test physical strength, right? I want to test mine.” Chen Beixuan didn't pay attention to his expression and directly stated his purpose.

“Yes, I’ll call you once it’s arranged.”

“OK, thanks.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beixuan disappeared again, returning to his room. This time, it was a Flash.

Cold Peak’s mouth opened slightly, just about to ask what was going on with this teleportation-like ability, but the person left too quickly, so he had to let it go.

But before he could even catch his breath, Chen Beixuan was back!

“I almost forgot, quickly tell me what the situation is like outside now.”

Chen Beixuan pulled out a chair and sat down, eager to know United States’s current reaction.

Cold Peak knew what he was asking and calmly recounted some known intelligence.

Good news stays in, bad news travels fast.

It all leaked from the internet, so there was no talk of secrecy.

After listening to his account, Chen Beixuan felt a slight relief and nodded.

His goal was to prevent war, and it seemed very successful now; at least, he wouldn't have to worry for a short period.

With such a major incident, it was likely to stir up another wave of internal power struggles, leaving even less thought for other countries.

“What about the Stick Country and the Philippine Monkey Country?”

“They haven’t reacted. They must have been scared by what happened in United States. Even other countries haven’t dared to utter a sound.” Cold Peak chuckled lightly.

Old Man Chen’s high-profile cross-server actions were well-known. Even if they had grievances, they still had to wait for United States’s instructions to act.

Their big brother had an unexpected incident, and it might even be related to Old Man Chen.

If the big brother didn’t make a sound, the younger brothers certainly wouldn’t dare to.

The Bones had long forgotten what dignity was.

Chen Beixuan nodded secretly. This could be considered killing a chicken to warn the monkeys, paving the way for his subsequent plans.

When he spread Chaos Envoys across all foreign servers, someone would surely realize what was happening and unite with other countries to force a confrontation in reality.

With United States as a precedent, high-ranking officials in various countries were in a state of panic.

Before their next move, they would definitely have to carefully weigh whether they could bear the consequences.

That was enough.

After breakfast.

Xiao Lu followed her tutor back to her room to study. Having nothing to do, he leisurely strolled through the villa area.

The first snow always doesn't last; yesterday's snow had mostly melted today.

The melted snow had frozen into ice by the low night temperatures, forming patches of ice on the ground.

It seemed foggy in the morning; branches and bushes were adorned with sparkling white rime ice, like blooming white flowers, creating an exquisite scene.

Old Xu and Liu appeared beside him at some point, greeting him with smiles.

“Strolling around, are we?”

“Ah, strolling.”

“……”

There was no follow-up.

Finally, Old Xu nudged Liu with his elbow, and Liu then chuckled dryly and spoke.

“Um… Old Xu and I also went to that Ten Thousand Realms Game yesterday, and it was quite fun…”

“Oh, that’s good.” Chen Beixuan said indifferently.

“……”

The two elders were a bit awkward, unsure how to begin.

Old Xu kept winking at Liu.

Go on! Say it!

Why are you looking at me? I’m definitely too embarrassed to speak; it’s all up to you.

Liu rolled his eyes fiercely but couldn't refuse.

He could only brazenly say, “I’ll just say it directly. Old Xu wants you to take us leveling. He’s too embarrassed to say it, so I’m saying it for him.”

Holy crap, selling out a teammate!

Old Xu’s eyes widened, looking at Liu in disbelief.

Two gazes converged on him simultaneously, his face turned beet red, and he stiffly nodded, admitting it.

“...Yes, that’s what I meant.”

“Alright, no problem. Add me as a friend tonight.” Chen Beixuan said nonchalantly.

Just dispatch a few Chaos Envoys and they can easily carry the two old men, it’s a simple matter.

“Ah?”

The two elders didn’t react, saying in disbelief, “You… you just agreed?”

“Otherwise?”

“How about… you treat me to a meal?”

Chen Beixuan rubbed his stomach, suddenly feeling hungry.

The two elders exchanged glances upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.

“No problem, let’s go! Eat whatever you want, eat your fill!”

The three old men walked arm in arm, casually entering a luxurious villa. After a phone call, delicacies were delivered one after another.

Chen Beixuan was not polite, eating and drinking voraciously, inhaling everything like a whirlwind.

He happily filled his stomach.

The two elders were in a good mood, not expecting him to agree so quickly. They immediately stated that he could come over anytime in the future and eat whatever he wanted.

Chen Beixuan certainly wouldn’t refuse. He was just wondering how to get extra food without Xiao Lu finding out, and here it was.

The three old men were not ordinary people, so they were accustomed to exaggerated appetites.

Eating at home, on the other hand, he was afraid of scaring Zhou Xiuya and Xiao Lu.

It’s better for children to know less about adult matters.

The morning was uneventful.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

The Chief took a private jet to Morning Wind City, then rushed non-stop to the villa area to find Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan was already mentally prepared for this and was not surprised to see the Chief arrive.

The two met in a villa and took their seats.

His subordinate timely placed a box of special cigarettes on the table, then retreated to the side.

The Chief pulled out a cigarette, very naturally handed it to Chen Beixuan, and smiled kindly, “Try it, these are all what I usually smoke. If you like them, I’ll leave those two cartons in my car for you.”

Chen Beixuan nodded slightly, calmly reached out and took it, holding it in his mouth.

Just as he was wondering about a light, a lighter was presented to him, and a flame lit up.

“Here, I have one.” The Chief said with a familiar smile.

“Oh, how can I be so rude…”

Chen Beixuan said he was being rude, but his body leaned slightly forward, holding the cigarette to the flame, and smoke immediately billowed.

This kind of treatment, it was probably hard to find more than a few in the entire world.

Halfway through the cigarette, the small talk was over.

The Chief didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked.

“The matter of United States’s President and high-ranking officials from various departments collectively becoming vegetative…”

“Yes, I did it.”

Chen Beixuan did not conceal it, nodding and frankly admitting it.

Since they came to ask, it meant they already suspected he was involved, so there was no need to quibble or lie.

A sharp glint flashed in the Chief’s eyes.

It was true after all!

But then he became worried. Was this ability newly acquired, or had he possessed it for a long time?

What was Chen Beixuan’s purpose in concealing it…

His long-standing mindset as a superior made him subconsciously think about deeper things, even forgetting to speak, just constantly smoking.

From the Chief’s expression, Chen Beixuan couldn't discern anything, but he could roughly guess some things.

So he took the initiative to speak: “This ability has very strict trigger conditions and an extremely long cooldown. It requires gathering all 36 Heavenly Spirits and 72 Earthly Fiends, a total of 108 people, to trigger.”

“I battled with that United States President for dozens of rounds, barely gathering enough people, and finally, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, I activated the skill, successfully beheading the enemy’s high-ranking officials, accomplishing my mission… and retreating!”

The Chief: “……”

……”
