Sky-cracking Rider

Having just returned from Miyoshi Xuesen, Chen Fei was immediately summoned by Boss Hanna.

The mobile base vehicle serving as an office contained not only tea but also snacks.

"Rookie," you didn't really give the complete design plans for "Canglong" to National Defense Star, did you?"

Hanna Gagar had her own intelligence channels and was always keeping an eye on those guys on the blacklist, and, by the way, she also kept track of her own company's employees. The sudden outbreak of a confrontational standoff between two massive entities during the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" made headlines, and naturally, she caught wind of it.

In the morning, employees from both sides had fought over this, causing quite a commotion.

Goodness, one second they were indirectly collaborating, and the next they were subtly opposing each other, flipping hands as clouds and covering hands as rain, impressive, my "Rookie"!

"Even you know about it!"

Chen Fei couldn't help but hold his forehead.

If it weren't for Miyoshi Monk's reminder, he probably would have only realized it at this very moment.

If his future father-in-law had been a bit narrower-minded, he would most likely have taken his anger out on him, rendering all his previous efforts futile.

Whether he liked it or not, since it had already happened and the situation had completely spiraled out of control, he truly couldn't shake off this responsibility.

"The guy from National Defense Star is really stupid. He actually made contact with you face to face in a crowded bar. Even if he had someone hand you a note and then called you privately, it wouldn't have turned out this way!"

Hanna Gagar just shook her head at the actions of that National Defense Star employee who had made contact with Chen Fei in the bar, clearly there were better and safer methods, yet he chose the most foolish option, pushing the two industry giants into the storm because of his self-interest, unaware of how many people were eagerly waiting for the two companies to start tearing into each other.

Louis Industrial Company might even be instigating it all from the shadows, given that the two companies had just exploited the opening battle of this season's "Abyssal Gladiatorial" to trick each other.

If there really was manipulation by Louis Industrial Company behind this, then revenge had come too quickly.

However, seeing Chen Fei's reaction, it seemed there was still room for salvage.

"I could never disclose the Northern Weapons Industry Group's project to Uncle Shen's National Defense Star willingly. There has to be some baseline of integrity in a person."

Just for the sake of an empty shell, Chen Fei had almost lost his girlfriend-to-be, which would have been quite foolish.

He was also clear that Uncle Shen definitely wouldn't ask him for the "Canglong" design plans, which was why he had refused the team leader without hesitation.

Hanna Gagar was not surprised at all. "Rookie" wasn't someone short-sighted enough to help Uncle Shen in such a stupid way.

She said, "Don't worry too much. Since it's all unfounded, things will naturally settle down after a while."

After all, without concrete evidence, mere verbal accusations could hardly affect Chen Fei significantly.

However, given the relationship between Chen Fei and National Defense Star, even if Northern Weapons Industry Group had its reservations, even if it didn't affect him and Teacher Shen Fei, it would still bring quite a bit of trouble to Vice President Shen Songling.

"That's a relief, I've been really bothered by this!"

Chen Fei wasn't adept at scheming and manipulation, so having Boss Hanna consider everything thoroughly for him and provide the most appropriate advice was more than welcome.

"So, do nothing and trust in your uncle and Teacher Shen's father. They can handle it well. You can't see the bigger picture from your position, and any unilateral action would only add to the chaos, or even fuel the fire."

This was precisely why Hanna Gagar had summoned Chen Fei; she was afraid he would make a rash decision and mess up.

Her words coincided with Shen Songling's thoughts, who was also troubled by this matter.

At this moment, saying more and doing more means wronging more. Explanations are tantamount to cover-ups, cover-ups are facts, and rather than exhausting oneself with responses, it is better to apply unchanging responses to ever-changing tactics.

"I understand!"

Chen Fei had originally planned to meet up with Teacher Shen, but now it seemed that he needed to be more cautious.

Perhaps changing to a phone call would be better. If he really did nothing, it might lead to misunderstandings.

He was about to make the call when a text message arrived from Shen Fei.

"Stay calm, let's not meet for a few days."

Great, Teacher Shen had thought of it too.

Everyone had come from far and wide to the same place, yet they couldn't meet, what kind of situation was this!?

At this moment, Chen Fei even felt like tearing Peng apart, cursing his meddlesome nature for causing so much trouble.

-

Early in the morning, Chen Fei came to the Comprehensive Center, cursing under his breath. Miyoshi Monk had sent him a message to come and be on standby.

This time's assignment was to capture, not eliminate, but to capture alive, so the preparations had to be more thorough.

The B-level supernatural power user "Plagiarist Ghost" didn't possess combat abilities but could copy the abilities of other supernatural power users through physical contact. Once he accumulated enough special abilities, he became quite a handful. In a sense, this ability considerably restrained other ability users.

However, ordinary people without abilities weren't enough to capture him, as copying others' abilities was a special application of spiritual power. To be precise, "Plagiarist Ghost" was a B-level Psychic Ability User, which meant he had significant spiritual power, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to easily control the abilities he copied.

According to intelligence, aside from the rare skill of copying others' abilities, the opponent was also adept at directly impacting, disturbing, or confusing others with spiritual power. Those with weak mental strength or willpower were easily influenced or even controlled, and his sense of danger was exceedingly sharp. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would flee without hesitation.

Miyoshi Xuesen chose Chen Fei for help not only because of their reliable past cooperation but also because Chen Fei's ability to generate additional tactical armor could isolate physical contact, preventing his abilities from being copied, using the opponent's tactics against them.

Furthermore, it was because of his decisiveness and brutality; he never hesitated. Eyes, mind, and hands moved in unison. A Heavenly Order expert in the town didn't even get a chance to sense danger before the Mach 600 caliber Demolition Bomb whooshed in. Running was futile; within the blast radius, everyone was doomed.

Third, Chen Fei possessed impressive resistance to spiritual power and had experience in suppressing Psychic Power Users. Ordinary tactics of Psychic Power Users often failed to work on him, such as mind reading, which was basically ineffective.

The difficulty in this capture was that the B-level supernatural power user "Plagiarist Ghost" had blended into a pure supernatural power user team, pretending to be just a Psychic Power User. The other members of the team were from the Dark, Wind, Fire, Light, Thunder, and Earth Elements, covering half of the eleven major elemental systems.

In some ways, this team was like a "Plagiarist Ghost's" special ability warehouse. With a flick of his hand, abilities were at his disposal, giving those attempting to capture him quite the headache. Despite being ranked only as a B-level, he was more troublesome than an A-level. Once he successfully escaped, catching him again would be even harder.

After buying a skewer of candied hawthorns, he stood alone in an open area, nibbling on it. Little Bird perched on Chen Fei's shoulder, looking left and right, according to the surviving ninjas' message from Miyoshi Monk. The "Plagiarist Ghost" and his supernatural power team would dine at the Comprehensive Center and were particularly fond of the signature dish of the "Abyssal Gladiatorial" – Zhajiang noodles.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over, hugged his thighs, and knelt on the ground, crying out, "Mr. Chen, it wasn't intentional..."

Chen Fei almost reflexively kicked the person away.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Ah?"

The person looked up, confirmed they hadn't hugged the wrong legs, pointed at themselves with tear-streaked face, and started wailing again.

"It's me! Don't you remember? We drank together, I'm Little Peng!"

Well, Chen Fei finally recalled who this shamelessly persistent fellow was.

The head of Group C from the National Defense Star Aerospace Design Department, Peng Shutian, whom he had drinks with, along with Xiao Jiu, two nights ago. How could it be that after two days, upon meeting, he ended up clinging to his legs, even calling himself Little Peng?

Initially, when they had first met, this person hadn't shown such a deferential attitude; was he drunk again?

"Wait, get up first; let's talk properly!"

Chen Fei grabbed the collar of his back, yanked upwards, and hissed...

The man didn't rip apart, but his clothes did, tearing open a large gash, exposing a vast expanse of shiny middle-aged back.

And still, he couldn't pull the man away from his leg.

This was damn awkward.

"Mr. Chen, Chen Dada, it's all my fault; I shouldn't have spoken carelessly. Please, speak a few good words to Chairman Chen for me, don't let them fire me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home, the whole family relies on me to earn a living. I was wrong; please give me another chance!"

Peng Shutian clung desperately to Chen Fei's leg, refusing to let go no matter what.

Passersby began to slow their pace, forming a crowd as if to watch a spectacle.

"Let go!"

Chen Fei's mouth twitched. He was busy with important matters and had no spare time to deal with this guy, worrying that he might get splashed with blood and end up crying and crawling in a mess.

This guy was also recently responsible for the tense atmosphere between two fierce rival aerospace manufacturers, and there wasn't even a nodding acquaintance between the two. Why should Chen Fei say nice things about him to his great-uncle? That was pure wishful thinking!

If he was fired, so be it. A man's ambition lies everywhere; if not here, then elsewhere. Was changing jobs really such a big deal, to seek death or cling to life like this?

And that talk of an eighty-year-old mother and three-year-old child, who was he trying to frighten!

"I won't let go!"

Peng Shutian truly acted as if his life depended on latching onto Chen Fei.

"Then I might have to get rough!"

Chen Fei looked around, his gaze sharpening when he spotted "Plagiarist Ghost" and his supernatural team approaching nearby.

The information was correct; seeing the commotion here, they involuntarily slowed their pace, edging closer to take a look, just like everyone else.

"I'll never let go!"

Peng Shutian clenched his teeth, steeled his heart, closed his eyes, and braced for more severe beating.

He would rather endure a severe beating than lose the golden job at the National Defense Star Aerospace Company.

He had suddenly received a dismissal notice from the HR department the previous afternoon, with severance pay immediately deposited into his account, and even a ticket home was arranged. Peng Shutian almost fainted on the spot.

His rash contact with Chen Fei had triggered severe consequences, and the company, to prove its innocence, had fired him.

Peng Shutian immediately realized that Chen Fei was his only lifeline and had been searching everywhere for him, lingering around the Comprehensive Center until he finally caught sight of him.

This was his last chance. He was setting aside all pride, betting that a young man would be soft-hearted and reluctant to lose face.

"To hell with it!"

Chen Fei lifted his leg, raising the entire person, and forcefully kicked.

"Ah!"

Peng Shutian cried out, no longer able to hold on, and like a cannonball, he flew in an arc through the air, crashing into the supernatural team that had just squeezed to the edge of the crowd.

"Ah!"

The "Plagiarist Ghost," who wanted to catch a glimpse of the commotion, suddenly found everything going dark before his eyes.
