Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 786: Perseverance will lead to a smooth road

At noon, Chen Chuan wiped out the crack with a knife. In the past period of time, in addition to absorbing a certain amount of spiritual energy, he also encountered things coming from the opposite side three times.

But their levels were not high and they were easily dealt with by him. The only difference from the one he encountered for the first time was that nothing valuable was left behind. I guess the ones he encountered for the first time were also rare species.

But it’s normal to think about it. After all, he only opened a tiny hole here, and there are probably enough of these things only near the World Ring.

He packed all the remaining things into his bag, opened the hatch, and said to the old captain who had been waiting all night: "Thank you for your hard work."

After a night of duty, the old captain was still in high spirits. "It's not hard, Mr. Chen. I heard from the company that we should severely punish those people from the Linax Federation for their prestige."

Chen Chuan thought about it for a moment and understood what he meant. Did he think he was deliberately targeting the fighter from the Linax Federation?

But if you don't know the inside story, it's not strange to think so.

After the airship returned to the port not long after, his Jie Ping also resumed signal contact. When he got off the airship, he saw a contact signal coming from Jie Ping. The contact person was the client Huang Weiyi.

This person had played a certain role in the previous situation when Cha Lianwei was in power. He was also satisfactory in his work and he was quite sensible. So why did he come to him at this time...

He clicked on the lower world pass and connected.

"Mr. Huang, what's the matter?"

A flattered voice came from the other side, "Manager Chen, do you still remember me, Xiao Huang? Well, it's like this, because I am a client who has cooperated with you before, so this time someone entrusted me to pass on a message to you.

Hey, I'm just a messenger. I know I'm not qualified to talk to you. If I've offended you in any way, please be magnanimous and don't bother with a nobody like me."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Speak to the point."

"Yes, yes." Huang Weiyi said, "It's like this. A big shot, as big as you, asked me to give you a message, saying that he wants to meet you." As he said that, a message came immediately.

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the other party introduced himself as a member of the Jingxiu School and wanted to meet at the rest area of ​​the Whitehall Checkpoint in the west of the city.

There is a seal on the back of this contact document. He can recognize it. It is an exclusive seal belonging to the fighter. Every fighter has a different seal. The name on the opposite side is... Long Xiang.

A refined fighter?

It seems that this person was sent by the Municipal Council.

It's just that the other party's wording was very polite, without any worldly air. And this time he specifically used Huang Weiyi to find him instead of anyone else, and he also made a special appointment to meet outside the city. This should be a hint to him that he was not coming on behalf of the Municipal Council, but was meeting him as a third party.

He thought for a moment and said to Huang Weiyi, "I understand, Mr. Huang. What happens next has nothing to do with you."

Huang Weiyi felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly said "OK" and then humbly ended the call.

After Chen Chuan got in the car, he clicked on the contact signal. After the call was connected, he said, "Mr. Long?"

There was a burst of laughter from the other side, and then a very calm and deep voice came, "It's me, Long Xiang, hello, Manager Chen."

This laughter coupled with the sound that follows makes people think that the person opposite has mental problems, but Chen Chuan is very calm. In the fourth level, some people have to give up or embrace something. The more obvious it is, the greater the power feedback they get. He understands this.

Mr. Long continued, his tone was quite relaxed, without any tension: "I came here at the invitation of the Municipal Council. I'm sure you can guess what they are thinking, Director Chen.

But honestly speaking, I don't think this is a good solution, and I support you, Manager Chen, in seeking justice against those who have offended you.

However, I am in the Jingxiu Sect, and I still have to support the interests of the sect, so I would like to meet with you, Director Chen, and tell you my ideas. If Director Chen thinks you can listen to it, then listen. If not, that's fine too. Things will be as they should be. What do you think, Director Chen?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I'm free now and will come over later."

"Haha...Okay, then I'll wait here for Manager Chen."

After Chen Chuan finished the call, he arrived at the intersection ahead, turned into the Gard car, and headed towards the National Avenue in the west of the city.

The two of them were actually talking quite easily, but on the contrary, almost all the forces in the central city were nervously watching their upcoming meeting.

At the Municipal Council, several councillors stared at the screen and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw his car heading west, apparently agreeing to keep the appointment. One of the councillors couldn't help but sigh and said, "It would be great if we had our own fighter."

But no one at the scene took his advice. How could they train their own fighters? When fighters became martial artists, would there still be a place for them?
That is uncontrollable power, and uncontrollable power is not power. They would rather use money and technology to cultivate obedient and useful active consciousness. And it is precisely because they have no fighters that they can easily gain the support of the federation.

One congressman said, "Please be patient. The active consciousness that the Federation promised to support us is already being cultivated. Let's take a step back. Once this period is over, we can return to the negotiation table."

As Chen Chuan came along, he found that the number of vehicles on the road suddenly became very sparse, and towards the back, there was hardly a single car on the road, and it looked very empty.

This is probably because the Government Affairs Office knew that he was going to meet Long Xiang, so they made some adjustments and controls on the traffic.

He looked at the road that seemed to lead to the end of the horizon, and the towering buildings on both sides. At this moment, he felt as if he was the only one left in the entire city, and he was separated from the hustle and bustle of the city.

In a sense, this is true.

He stepped on the accelerator and increased the speed of the vehicle, but at this moment he couldn't help but wonder, would it feel better if he was driving the Silver Lightning at this time?

With traffic lights open all the way, it took him just over an hour to cross the two districts and reach National Avenue in the west.

After driving for another ten minutes, we arrived at the Whitehall Checkpoint on the western edge of the central city.

There was already a car parked here, and a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and with a stern face was waiting there patiently.

The Gardner car stopped about a hundred meters away. Chen Chuan got out of the car, adjusted the brim of his hat, and walked to the other side.

The patrol cars and guards near the checkpoint had evacuated at some point, and it seemed that there were only the two of them on the empty street.

When Chen Chuan approached, Mr. Long took off his sunglasses, revealing his dark eyes and tiny black scales near his eye sockets. He took the initiative to converge the field, stretched out his hand, and laughed first, then quickly changed it into a smile: "Manager Chen, hello, I am a member of the Jingxiu faction, Long Xiang."

Chen Chuan also restrained the biological field on his body and shook hands with him. "Pure faction, Chen Chuan."

Long Xiang smiled and then said, "Manager Chen, I came here only to serve as a bridge of communication. Since they have offended you, your counterattack is of course reasonable. The Municipal Council has also realized their mistakes, and they hope you can give them a chance to make amends.

I won't beat around the bush and just tell you the compensation they are willing to give. In order to compensate for the loss of reputation to the Bureau and Director Chen, they are willing to unconditionally provide you with resources for cultivation for a period of time."

Chen Chuan looked at him. In fact, as long as the Municipal Council did not block his way, he had no interest in paying any more attention to it. Even if he really wanted to take action, it would not be now, but he needed to wait for an opportunity.

In fact, if the Government Affairs Office really intends to ask him to deal with the Municipal Council, it will also need to provide him with a certain amount of resources to make up for the energy consumption that may be generated in the process.

Since the Government Affairs Office does not have this idea now, he will not rush to take over, and if the Municipal Council takes the initiative to compensate him, he certainly will not refuse.

This is what Principal Yao meant when he asked him to keep calm and get what he can get first.

He asked, “How long is a period of time?”

Long Xiang smiled and said, "It actually depends on the degree of your threat, Mr. Chen. If your threat is not as big as they expected, I think they may not be willing to pay too much. If the threat far exceeds their expectations, I think they may continue to lower their original psychological bottom line.

Manager Chen, are you wondering why I am telling you this?
It's actually very simple. Although there are quite a few of our people in the municipal council, no matter how much I do, it won't affect my share. On the contrary, I may have frequent dealings with you, Manager Chen, in the future. I think it will be easier for us to communicate if we are more honest with each other, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and conflicts."

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I would like to ask, how do you measure this so-called threat?"

Long Xiang laughed loudly, then sighed, "This is the part I don't like, but this is the assignment given to me by the faction, and I have to do it. I think we can solve this problem through a duel. Don't worry, all the losses among us will be borne by the Municipal Council.

If you win, Mr. Chen, the Municipal Council is willing to be responsible for your practice resources for the next three years.

If you lose, Mr. Chen, the Municipal Council is still willing to compensate you for one year of practice. However, in the meantime, please stop interfering in any matters involving the Council. Of course, the premise is that they do not infringe on your personal interests first. Director Chen, what do you think of this condition?"
