Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 408 Battle
Old Bian sat for a while with a gloomy face. He asked his apprentice who was not far away in front of him: "Have you found out the details of that boy?"

The disciple in front of him immediately responded: "Master, I figured it out. The person who came is from the Upper City Processing Bureau."

"Someone from the processing bureau?"

Old Bian was startled, then frowned and asked, "Did you figure it out so quickly? Is it true?"

Although third-level fighters are not without roots, it takes some time to verify them, right? Especially for people from the upper city, their information is not written on their foreheads, so it takes some effort. How long has it been now? When did this stupid apprentice become so efficient?
“It’s true!”

Seeing that Lao Bian was still looking at him suspiciously, the apprentice said quickly: "No, Master, look at this, I got it from above..." He quickly clicked a few times and sent a video clip to Lao Bian.

"The man in the video is him. The other one is Wei Wusheng from the Tianshu Gang. Master told us about him before."

"Wei Wusheng? The disciple of old man Yu from the Tianshu Gang?"

Old Bian watched the recording in amazement, Wei Wusheng was quite famous, mainly because in his age group, Yu Hongming of the Tianshu Gang was the hurdle that his master and even his grandmaster's generation could not cross.

Wei Wusheng was known as Yu Hongming's most proud student in the past thirty years, so he inevitably paid attention to this case and often used this example to admonish his disciples.

Then he saw the scene where Chen Chuan pinned Wei Wusheng to the ground and hammered him hard. His eyelids twitched, especially the last moment, when the palm strike directly pierced Wei Wusheng's chest with such force and speed. When he put himself in that situation, his blood began to accelerate, his breathing became rapid, and his whole body tensed up.

The disciple didn't notice his expression, and said as if he was offering a treasure: "Master, there is also this part..." As he spoke, he sent another video clip over.

This section shows the scene where Chen Chuan comes out of the water carrying the head of Xu Xianwen, leader of the Viper Regiment. The person who filmed it is very skilled and blended the light and shadow of the scenery and the characters very well. For ordinary people, it is quite impactful, but for Lao Bian, it is not as intuitive as the previous one.

He asked calmly, "Whose head is that in his hand?"

"Master, I heard it was Xu Xianwen."

"Xu Xianwen..."

Old Bian frowned, he seemed to have heard of this name somewhere. Generally speaking, a fighter of his level could remember it even from his childhood, but he was too lazy to think about the irrelevant ones.

But before he could recall, his apprentice had already considerately passed on Xu Xianwen's information to him. Not only Xu Xianwen, but also the information of every member of the Viper Group. Then he fell silent.

The apprentice asked for credit: "Master, did I find the information quickly and completely this time?"

Lao Bian slightly twitched his masseter muscle and said, "Okay, very attentive."

The disciple said with great anticipation: "Master, when are you going to teach that kid a lesson? I will call my fellow disciples to go and show support to you."

Old Bian frowned and scolded: "When did I say I would teach him a lesson? They are unkind but I cannot be unrighteous. Have you forgotten what I told you? Fighting and killing alone will not solve the problem."

The apprentice was a little confused. Wasn't that what the master meant just now? But it was true that the master had seldom taken action in recent years. It made sense that he could make his opponents give up just by relying on his past reputation.

He asked again: "Master, what should we do then?"

Old Bian frowned. He had heard before that the one coming was just a third-level fighter who was less than 20 years old. He thought he still had some confidence.

But after seeing Chen Chuan's battle scene just now, he couldn't help but retreat a little. Even if he was in his prime when he was young, he would not be able to withstand such fighting power.

He has long lost his former passion, and hiding here for so many years without taking any action has worn out his will. He just wants to live a peaceful retirement and make as much money as possible, so in recent years he has only relied on his early reputation to intimidate others.

But he really couldn't tolerate the current situation, because he could leave on his own initiative, but he could never be kicked out by others!

He said in a deep voice: "Tell Poison Ant Express that Lutong Express has found a new third-level fighter, and tell them that I don't want to get involved, so they found someone else."

"Master, do you need to pass the information you found to Poison Ant Express?"

"Need not."

Lao Bian said, "You have worked hard to find this out. Let them check it out themselves."

"Master is right. Let them investigate on their own."

Old Bian sneered in his heart. What if the news about Chen Chuan was passed on to Poison Ant Express and they backed down? Wouldn't the matter of him being caught be completely unsolved?
It would be better to let the two families fight.

If Chen Chuan lost, he believed that Lutong's people would let him finish the fight. If the poisonous ants lost, it would be fine. He still didn't believe that if Lutong won this match, all problems would be solved?

The Moss Gang behind Poison Ant Express will never give up. Even if they are intimidating when they are around, once they leave, Lu Tong will not be able to withstand the pressure and will have to ask them to go back sooner or later, but by then the price will not be the same.

Of course, he is not a bad person. He would leave some soup and water for Lu Tong and the others. He would not have the heart to see this group of people die.

Lan Xinnan acted quickly because some people from Lutong Logistics had already joined Poison Ant Express and there were some information channels between the two sides. So within two hours, Chen Chuan got the information about the fighter on the opposite side.

This man's name is Gai Er, he is 35 years old. In the photo, he has fierce eyes and is wearing training clothes and a thick belt. He is standing there barefoot. There is an indescribable murderous aura on him, and he is holding a metal nunchaku in his hand.

According to the information, this person came from a martial arts school, but because of his outstanding talent, he quickly stood out and was recruited as a son-in-law by the owner of the martial arts school.

However, not long after, he abandoned his wife and children because the competitors of this martial arts school offered higher conditions. But a few years later, he cooperated with the gang to take over the martial arts school. After that, he did illegal work for some gangs and also worked as an underground killer. He attacked government officials and killed company executives.

Because he committed too many crimes, he was wanted and rewarded by companies, governments, and even gangs, so he had to hide in the underground city.

If a third-limit fighter hadn't committed a crime, he would have a place anywhere, but being disliked by many parties is also considered a talent.

From the surface, this person is a complete scum and a lunatic, but Chen Chuan knows that character has nothing to do with strength. He can feel that the third limit stage attaches great importance to one's own thoughts.

This consistent attitude of being an evil person from beginning to end actually shows that this person has a firm mind and has never changed due to external circumstances.

This means that he might be very powerful. This can be seen from the fact that he has so many enemies but is still alive and well.

Then he looked at Lao Bian's information. He was already 69 years old. The more detailed records were about his battle achievements when he was young. At that time, he was also known as "Fierce Bear". Looking at the photos when he was young, he was a burly man over two meters tall. He has shrunk a lot now, but is still over 1.9 meters tall.

However, in the past seven or eight years, this person has not had any reliable combat records, and it seems that he has not fought with anyone during this period of time.

If a martial arts master does not communicate and fight with people of the same level for a long time, his fighting ability will degenerate. Not to mention seven or eight years, if he is not talented enough, not practicing for a few days may lead to a weakening of his condition.

However, it cannot be ruled out that he deliberately concealed his achievements, so we still need to be cautious.

After reading it, he said to Lan Xinnan, "I just came to the Lower City District. I don't know how you guys solve problems here. Is there anything I should pay attention to if I want to fight that guy?"

Lan Xinnan replied: "It is a common practice that if there is a conflict between two organizations, the Third Limit Fighters will usually mediate. If mediation is not possible, they will not take action and let the people below solve it. I heard from the old captain that this is a tacit rule among the Third Limit Fighters in the Lower City."

"Is this so..."

Chen Chuan thought about it and could understand that most fighters practiced skills not to fight with others for their lives, but to gain more enjoyment. And after fighting hard, they might not get more, and it was more likely that they would suffer losses. Therefore, this rule was beneficial to all third-level fighters.

Lan Xinnan continued, "And if the conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable, or one side refuses to give in, then they will fight face to face. Lao Bian used this as an excuse to ask me to give him 20% of the resources."

Chen Chuanshuo said, "Since there is such a method, Captain Lan, please make an appointment with the guy from Poison Ant Express for me."

Lan Xinnan said: "Okay! But if the other side knew that we replaced Lao Bian and also found out about your situation, Brother Chen, then they might pretend to respond while trying to delay."

After all, Chen Chuan is not from the lower city, so he can't stay here for a long time. So if Poison Ant Express was smarter, there would be no need to fight, and they could just delay until Chen Chuan went back.

This is also the situation she is most worried about.

Chen Chuan said calmly: "That doesn't matter. I just checked. Poison Ant Express has a base. If you don't want to go, I can just go to their base directly."

Lan Xinnan couldn't help but nod. The other party would definitely not give in under this kind of almost forced approach.

Because even if the decision makers don't care about the base, they still have to worry about Chen Chuan taking his men to attack their subordinates. Then they will have to lose the territory and business they had previously seized, which is something the entire team cannot tolerate.

She said, "I'm going to challenge Poison Ant Express to a fight right away." As she said that, she went downstairs to arrange this matter immediately.

However, Lan Xinnan's worries were in vain. Poison Ant Express obviously had no intention of avoiding the fight. She sent out the signal for a fight and they responded clearly within half an hour. After both parties confirmed it, they set the fight time for tomorrow morning.
