Inside the Processing Bureau, Chen Chuan had later shut down his Realm Token, so no one could see their fight. Many could only gather and discuss it amongst themselves.

"Captain Chen seemed to want to ask that Foreigner some questions, so he cut off the Domain feed. He didn’t actually trust that Foreigner, did he?"

"You think Captain Chen wouldn’t have thought of that?"

"Relax. Captain Chen is never careless. We just have to wait. A fight between Fighters of this level won’t take long."

As they spoke, the Processing Bureau personnel stationed nearby had already been notified to keep a close watch on any changes up above.

After about half an Hour, there was movement on the mountain path. Everyone looked at the light screen and saw Chen Chuan and Mishiro Ara walking down the mountain together, with Mishiro Ara a step behind.

There were no unusual marks on either of them, nor was their clothing damaged. They were still talking as they descended, and the atmosphere seemed quite amicable. It looked like there hadn’t been any fighting after all.

Once at the foot of the mountain, the two parted ways. The crowd watched as Mishiro Ara gave Chen Chuan a deliberate bow before leaving on his own.

Only then did Chen Chuan activate his Realm Token and reconnect with the Processing Bureau.

An agent in charge immediately asked, "Captain Chen, how did it go? Are you alright over there?"

Chen Chuan said, "It’s nothing. Mr. Mishiro Ara isn’t with the Ferris Wheel Company. He sought me out simply for a match between Fighters."

"Are you certain?"

Chen Chuan said, "I’m certain."

Words can deceive, but a person’s spirit cannot. The only exception would be a Secret Technique capable of fooling even its user, but from the perspective of Fighters like them, such a practice was meaningless.

They remained vigilant at all times; even in a simple sparring match, they would never give an opponent an opening. The other man was a Fighter of the same caliber, so he would know this as well.

After speaking with the Bureau, Chen Chuan walked to his Gard Car, opened the door, and got in, driving away. As he left, he glanced back at Qingding Mountain. ’This is a good spot,’ he thought. ’I can use it for sparring matches in the future.’

Meanwhile, at the Ferris Wheel Company, Head of Security Guan Shangjing was also monitoring the battle. However, the Processing Bureau’s Domain block prevented the Ferris Wheel Company from seeing what was happening, so they could only wait for the results.

"Sir, we have news!"

A security officer entered the office and, seeing Guan Shangjing’s questioning gaze, said excitedly, "We saw Mishiro Ara leaving Qingding Mountain. Sir, Mishiro Ara is completely unharmed. Does that mean he won?"

Guan Shangjing toyed with a Pocket-sized Copper Dog in his hand but didn’t jump to any conclusions. "Wait for word from the Processing Bureau," he said.

Less than two minutes later, the news arrived. But the result was that Chen Chuan had also driven away, and neither man appeared to have suffered any harm.

The logic was simple: even if they had fought, it was most likely just a sparring match, not the deathmatch they had imagined.

He wasn’t satisfied with this outcome, but he wasn’t too disappointed either. Mishiro Ara was just an unexpected variable. After all, his laziness and caution were as famous as his fighting prowess.

A cold glint flickered in his eyes. This was something they would still have to do themselves, not rely on others to handle.

He looked up at the light screen on his desk, where several photos were cycling.

These were all people the Ferris Wheel Company needed to eliminate. Now, only six remained. Two had gone to other Central Cities, and one was in the Outer Ocean; agents had already been dispatched to deal with them.

Since none of them were Fighters and only had a few hired guards, dealing with them wouldn’t be much trouble. The outcome was predictable.

The remaining three were Lei Guangcheng of the Esoteric Bureau’s Review Bureau, Chen Chuan, and Deng Xin, a former intelligence secretary for the company.

The first two were tough nuts to crack, leaving only Deng Xin as the seemingly easier target. However, she had been hiding with the Elephant Gang from the very beginning.

Her boyfriend was not only a Third Limit Fighter but also a core member of the Elephant Gang.

The territory held by the Elephant Gang had been fortified into a virtual fortress, filled with hidden bunkers and sentry posts. They had over a thousand core members and a settlement of more than ten thousand people, making them difficult to take down.

During the previous conflict between the Swordfish Gang and the Elephant Gang, they had tried to use the opportunity to eliminate her, but they still failed.

The Elephant Gang’s upper echelon consisted entirely of Clan members. And because they were all Foreigners, they were extremely close-knit in the face of a hostile external environment, making it very difficult for outsiders to infiltrate them.

Recently, however, he had come up with an idea.

The Elephant Gang wasn’t truly free of internal conflict, but it was all suppressed by the gang’s leader, Tu Ge. He was the eldest of the Tushi Clan’s older generation and the linchpin holding all the Clan members together.

If he were gone, the Elephant Gang would immediately erupt in conflict.

Because of the many Implants he received while fighting in his youth, he required large, regular injections of Anti-Differentiation Medicine every month. And recently, due to his advanced age, the anti-differentiation reactions had grown more severe. The amount of medicine he needed was more than the Elephant Gang could procure on its own. This was an opening.

Guan Shangjing stared coldly at the remaining photos on the screen. With a squeeze of his fingers, he instantly crushed the Copper Dog out of shape.

"The company’s enemies must be eliminated!"

Meanwhile, in the Yinglu District, within the Elephant Gang’s settlement.

Deng Xin’s heart suddenly clenched. The vase in her hands fell to the floor, mixing the flowers and soil inside. Petals scattered everywhere.

"How could you be so careless?"

Tu Nai walked over and asked with concern, his Dashun Language a little stiff, "Are you hurt?"

Deng Xin suddenly turned and threw her arms around him, burying her head in his chest. "We have to leave this place, we have to leave..." she said in a panicked, anxious tone, her emotions seemingly unstable as she repeated herself several times.

Feeling his girlfriend’s trembling body, Tu Nai looked helpless. His girlfriend was perfect in every way, except she was always so jumpy. He stroked her soft hair and soothed her, saying:

"I know you’ve been through a lot, but I’ve told you, you don’t have to be afraid while you’re with the Elephant Gang. I’m here on the inside, and we have the fortress on the outside.

We have our own guns, our own armored vehicles, our own trained Fighters, and tens of thousands of brothers. The Ferris Wheel Company can’t get in here."

After comforting her for a while, he saw that Deng Xin had calmed down. He stuck a cigarette between his lips, lit it, and took a drag. "I’m going to take care of something," he said. "If you get bored, watch some shows. If you want to walk around the settlement, have Ah Le take you." With that, he gave Deng Xin a couple of gentle pats, slung a set of Protective Clothing over his shoulder, and walked out.

Deng Xin watched him leave, then paced the living room with her arms crossed. She lived in a large, three-story house built from special bamboo and wood, which retained the multi-tiered roof style of the Sheni Great Peninsula, complete with intricate window lattices and bamboo carvings.

The house was brightly lit, with Domain Creatures beneath it and various combat creatures stationed around it. Tu Nai cared for her deeply, but she still felt no sense of security.

Just then, the bamboo curtain at the door swayed. Although it was spring, the March wind was cool, and she felt a chill seep into her bones, threatening to numb her.

She had what seemed to be an innate precognitive ability. Whenever something bad was about to happen, the feeling was especially strong. It was how she had managed to evade her pursuers time and time again.

It wasn’t just her; her sister had been the same way. But her sister was already...

She sighed softly and rubbed her arms.

"MEOW..."

Just then, a large cat jumped up in front of her. Its long, dense, grayish-white fur was incredibly soft. She scooped it into her arms and stroked it gently. The big cat started to PURRRR, giving her a small measure of comfort.

Then, an idea struck her. She opened her Realm Token and logged into a fringe channel. The main topic of discussion was the duel between Chen Chuan and Mishiro Ara, and the discussion threads below were filled with arguments about whether the two had actually fought and who had won.

Ever since the Ferris Wheel Company had issued its public apology on the public channels, she had been keeping an eye on Chen Chuan’s activities. She knew he was also one of the people the Ferris Wheel Company wanted to target.

But she also knew that even with the apology, this was far from over. The Ferris Wheel Company never gave up on targets like him.

She then switched to the Processing Bureau’s contact information. She wanted to connect, but after a moment’s hesitation, she didn’t press the button. Instead, she spoke to her Realm Token, "Ah Le, help me find someone. The same one as last time."

A young voice came from the Realm Token. "Sis, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. That’s a Processing Bureau agent. They have dedicated Resonators to intercept communications. I almost got caught last time."

Deng Xin said, "Find that Resonator. I want to talk to him."

"Sis, what are you trying to do?"

Deng Xin said, "Don’t ask so many questions. What did your brother tell you? That I have to tell you everything I want to do?"

"Alright, alright! Sis, don’t get angry. You’re not as pretty when you’re angry. I’ll give it a try. But whether it works or not depends on them. Don’t blame me if I can’t get through."

Meanwhile, on his way back to his dormitory, Chen Chuan received a message from the Wing Blade Company, inviting him for a visit. It was about Chaoming, and it seemed to be good news.

He immediately changed course and headed for the Deep Unexplored District. After arriving at the Wing Blade Light Nest Company, he was met by Manager Zhuang, who led him all the way to the cultivation area.

"Mr. Chen, the plan is proceeding quite smoothly—better than I expected. In just five days, a Mutated Organization has started growing on your pet."

Chen Chuan looked at Chaoming through the light screen. It was currently lying in its prepared nest, its body looked slightly larger than before, and the feathers covering it were even more vibrant.

Manager Zhuang said, "Mr. Chen, your pet is very intelligent. I’ve handled many pets, but I’ve rarely seen one this smart. It’s been very cooperative with all the environmental stimuli and drug injections. It’s as if it knows what it needs to do, which is why the progress has been so fast.

Now that the Mutated Organization has appeared, the next step is to find a way to promote its growth. However, we’ll need you to confirm the specific direction of its development, Mr. Chen."

Just as Chen Chuan was about to say something, a call from Wubei suddenly came through his Realm Token. He excused himself and stepped aside. "Brother Wu, what’s up?"
