Chapter 143: Chapter 142: Superpower is, Mind Control? (Please Subscribe)

In a flash, a night passed.

The next day, at dawn, a large truck arrived in front of the Chen Family Fortress.

Many people were sitting on the truck, almost all elderly, women, and children, their eyes full of anxiety.

However, when the fortress gate opened and Chen Fan appeared in front of them, everyone completely relaxed.

"Uncle Liu, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Fan smiled at Liu Yong and others holding guns on the truck.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "What’s the hard work? All right, everyone get off the truck quickly, we still have to go back to pick up the next batch of people."

Everyone got off the large truck, curiously looking around.

Is this the Zhao Family Castle?

Rumored to be a very safe place.

A group of people obediently lined up, entered the fortress while glancing around and whispering.

"Such high walls! It looks like it must be over four meters high?"

"Yes, not only high but also thick."

"It’s not just the walls, this place looks big as well, so many houses, can’t even count them."

"Didn’t Guodong say this place can accommodate one to two thousand people? And there are farms in the back where we can grow food, even if there are no more prey, we can be self-sufficient."

"Exactly, I heard Guodong said that at the right time, everyone will be allotted a piece of land."

Hearing this, the smiles on everyone’s faces became even more bright.

As time passed, the number of people arriving also gradually increased. After a brief period of unease, everyone became excited.

But the people who originally lived within the fortress became increasingly uneasy.

Indeed, Chen Fan treated them really well, but what about these newcomers? What if conflicts break out in the future, Chen Fan would probably side with these people, right?

After all, it’s human nature, if it were them, they’d do the same.

Actually, Chen Fan also noticed this.

It can only be said that this kind of thing is inevitable, and both sides need some time to adapt, it can only be done slowly.

The efficiency of the large truck was very high; within a morning, it transported all the people and luggage from the Chen Family Stronghold.

The process was smooth without any accidents.

Of course, this is just the beginning; next comes the allocation of houses.

Fortunately, Wu Guang and the others were very familiar with the entire fortress, under their guidance, it was done in less than two hours.

Chen Fan led his family to the front of the villa.

Looking at the majestic building, everyone was stunned.

Chen Guodong opened his mouth wide, turned to Chen Fan, and said, "Xiaofan, is this, is this where we’re going to live next?"

Yin Fang and Chen Chen also looked, their expressions showing they couldn’t believe their eyes.

"Yes."

Chen Fan was helpless.

"This, this is too big."

Chen Guodong didn’t know what to say.

This kind of big house, not to mention him now, even ten years ago, he couldn’t afford to live here.

"Dad, Mom, don’t just stand there, go inside and take a look."

Chen Fan laughed, he could already imagine what kind of reactions his parents would have upon entering.

Sure enough, as soon as the three walked in, startled exclamations instantly rang out from inside.

Entering the basement, the three looked as if they lost their souls, sitting on the chairs in the living room, it took a long time for them to come to their senses.

"Xiaofan, am I, am I dreaming?" Yin Fang asked Chen Fan.

Such a big house, with electricity inside, and so many resources in the basement, this scene only appeared in dreams.

"Mom, don’t worry, it’s not a dream."

Chen Fan answered very assuredly.

"Brother, we, can we really live in such a good house?"

Chen Chen asked apprehensively.

"What’s there to worry about," Chen Fan smiled as he patted his head, "there are so many rooms inside, you can choose whichever room you want to live in."

"Xiaofan,"

Chen Guodong hesitated to say something.

"Dad, it’s just a house, if we don’t live here, who do you think will live here? If no one lives here, wouldn’t it be a waste?"

Chen Fan asked.

"True."

Chen Guodong nodded.

He was just a little embarrassed; after all, others live in ordinary houses, while their family would be living in such a big, excellent house.

"Dad, instead of worrying about this, I think you should consider how to ensure that our people from the stronghold can live peacefully with the original residents here."

Chen Guodong paused for a moment, his brows furrowed; if this problem isn’t handled well, it could spell endless trouble.

"And the construction of the stronghold; right now, we don’t lack manpower. Zhao Da previously had people expand the walls and open up more farmland, which was actually the right move, where they went wrong was not treating people like people.

The Hunting Team can also be supplemented with some manpower, and guards for the stronghold can be arranged."

Chen Fan expressed all his thoughts in one go.

Sure enough, Chen Guodong immediately stopped thinking about the house and instead focused on these matters, his face becoming solemn.

Seeing this, Chen Fan apologized inwardly.

He needed a lot of time for martial arts training and simply didn’t have the energy to manage these things, but after yesterday’s incident, it should be much easier for his father to manage here.

After a sumptuous lunch, Chen Fan took a short rest, chatted with his mother for a while, and then headed to the training ground.

The training ground here was ten times larger than the open space in front of the warehouse at Chen Family Stronghold, and at that moment there were already some people present, who greeted him enthusiastically upon seeing his arrival.

Chen Fan then found Zhang Ren.

The latter seemed to have just finished cooking and was about to eat. When he saw Chen Fan arriving, he tapped his bowl with the chopsticks and said, "Want a bowl?"

"I’ve already eaten." Chen Fan chuckled helplessly, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I think you should move in with us."

The latter laughed and shook his head, saying, "No, I’m more used to living next to the warehouse."

"..."

Chen Fan was momentarily speechless.

Zhang Ren chuckled and asked, "How was it yesterday? Any troublemakers?"

"There were about a dozen people."

Chen Fan briefly recounted the events.

Zhang Ren listened, nodding frequently, and then said:

"From what you said, those few people you picked out performed quite well?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan nodded, "So, I think we should let them join our martial arts training. As for the others, no hurry, let’s observe their character first and then decide."

"Let’s go with your plan."

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, actually something bad happened last night too..."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly and recounted the subsequent events.

"So, someone knew about this?"

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhang Ren’s reaction was very strong.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, and the situation is deeper than we anticipated."

Chen Fan took out a notebook from his pocket, "I found this diary on that bandit leader. According to the records, Guan Dexi, the deputy captain of Song Family Castle, is actually the mastermind behind these bandits."

He wasn’t worried about Zhang Ren knowing about the space items inside.

Firstly, the latter wouldn’t have any ulterior motives, and secondly, it might lead to some valuable information.

Zhang Ren’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this.

Such things were not secret, but they couldn’t be put in the open.

"Uncle Zhang," Chen Fan looked at him, "according to that man, the Guan Family seems to have an unusual status in Anshan City?"

"Indeed unusual."

Zhang Ren said, "There are quite a few Awakeners in Anshan City, but there are only a few C-level Awakeners, and the Guan Family’s Awakener is one of them, his superpower is quite special."

Saying this, his expression became grave.

"Quite special?"

Chen Fan asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Mind Control."

Zhang Ren put down his bowl and chopsticks, speaking slowly.

Chen Fan was taken aback.

Mind Control?

This superpower does seem quite special?

"I told you before, it’s very difficult for martial artists to contend with Awakeners, no matter which kind, it’s always very troublesome, especially those with mind control, more terrifying."

Zhang Ren smiled bitterly, "It’s not just me, even more powerful martial artists of Transforming Force, once controlled by such a person, at best, they can’t move; at worst, their actions are completely uncontrollable, even suicide is a thought away for the Awakener.

Oh yeah, speaking of this, I remember, there are several martial artists of Entry Force Realm in Anshan City who have been completely controlled by him, obeying him from the bottom of their hearts, the kind that genuinely sacrifices their lives for him."

Chen Fan listened, feeling a chill running down his spine, and couldn’t help asking:

"Is it because our spiritual power is too low?"

"Should be."

Zhang Ren nodded, sighing lightly.

Actually, martial artists who can reach Entry Force Realm are all mature and resilient individuals.

But even so, in front of that person, they can’t last a moment, utterly crushed.

Chen Fan, however, sighed in relief.

Thinking carefully, apart from the difference in spiritual power, he couldn’t find any other suitable reason.

Whether martial artists or ordinary people, compared to Awakeners, it’s exceedingly difficult to enhance spiritual power.

However, if that’s the case, then he doesn’t need to worry too much. Of course, just in case, it’s still necessary to quickly elevate Moon Observation Technique to Perfection Realm for the sake of spiritual defense.

"Uncle Zhang,"

He thought of something and asked, "Can this mind control Awakener control fierce beasts?"

Zhang Ren paused, looking at Chen Fan,

"Seems like, he can’t."

He carefully recalled, during his time in Anshan City, several events of fierce beasts besieging the city had occurred.

The Awakener was present, but he didn’t see him controlling the attacking fierce beasts, instead, he made controlled martial artists defend him.

"I see."

Chen Fan nodded, looks like that person can only control humans?

"Xiaofan, this matter might be quite tricky."

Zhang Ren frowned deeply, saying, "This guy named Guan Dexi should only have the strength of Muscle Refining Realm, eliminating him is not hard, but if the Awakener behind him finds out, it’ll be troublesome."
