Chapter 440: Chapter 438: Duties to Fulfill

Chen Ke left objective reality and saw that Ookubo Reiko was still waiting outside for him.

Seeing him unharmed and without a speck of dirt on him, Li Zi was a bit puzzled, but she didn’t ask too much.

"Is your business taken care of?" Li Zi said, her Lady Qiong’s suit beginning to fade in color and becoming faintly transparent, a sign that the saint artifact was being summoned beyond its time limit.

Chen Ke observed Li Zi’s condition, knowing from past experience that after a time modification, everyone’s memories would be altered, things that had been changed would cease to exist, and any contradictions would be corrected by the universe.

Li Zi appeared unchanged, but perhaps it was just that her future had no intersection with Wei Tianyang.

"I guess it’s done," Chen Ke said.

At that moment, a flash of white light, and oops, she was naked.

"Yikes!!!!!" Li Zi suddenly screamed.

"Don’t panic!" Chen Ke hurriedly bent down to pick up the Holy Diamond on the ground and summoned the suits once more.

With her face red, Li Zi put them on again.

It took her some time to get dressed, and although revealing, it was better than being completely naked.

"To be honest, I can’t return like this," Li Zi said.

"I never thought about gifting you these clothes either," Chen Ke said.

He looked around; they were in dense woods with no other options. They had to get back to the city area to get Li Zi a proper set of clothes.

After all, it was he who had wiped out someone else’s team the night before.

"Speaking of which... you should have backup, right?" Chen Ke said.

Li Zi said, "I haven’t made contact with the command center for over 12 hours; they must have already sent people to look for me."

"Do you have forces stationed in this country?" Chen Ke asked.

"You’re really not a pharmaceutical company man. The forces behind us have the authority to mobilize and command the local military. After all, this place is just a small Third World country. Besides, you should have noticed that it is on the verge of civil war, and various factions need money to expand their armaments," Li Zi said with a laugh.

"I killed your people, don’t you hate me?" Chen Ke asked.

"I wasn’t close with them, I was just here on a mission. You are much more interesting than they were," Li Zi said.

Chen Ke laughed and said, "I’ll take that as a compliment then."

"That’s what it was," Li Zi laughed.

Just then, the sound of helicopters roared in the sky, and the two looked up to see two small green dots approaching from the distance.

"Speak of the devil," Li Zi said.

Chen Ke took off his suit and draped it over Li Zi, then with a flash of white light, he retracted the Poor Woman’s suit.

"You’re not even warm," Li Zi said.

"I’ve been frail since childhood," Chen Ke said.

The helicopter had already flown over the cliff they were on. Chen Ke stepped back as a transport portal appeared behind him.

Li Zi’s people came to pick her up; he had to stand aside.

"I’ll remember you, Mr. Chen," Li Zi said with a smile.

"You’d better forget about me; there won’t be another chance to meet," Chen Ke said.

As the helicopter slowly descended, Chen Ke stepped back into the transport portal, reentering objective reality.

When Chen Ke returned to Qiyang City, it was already night. The first task was done; now, it was time for the second.

Tiantai Pharmaceutical was one of the catalysts for Wei Tianyang’s transformation. Even without object 091, there would be other Heavenly Falling Objects, so he had to eliminate Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s presence in Chicken Snake Country.

With nothing to do at night, Chen Ke stealthily hid outside the slums, watching Wei Tianyang’s every move.

It was late at night, and the lights in Wei Tianyang’s small house were still on. Through the window, he could see his mother doing some handwork, while Wei Tianyang carried a bucket outside to fetch water.

Considering what Li Zi had said about the country being on the brink of civil war, even without Tiantai Pharmaceutical and project 091, Wei Tianyang would still be drawn into the conflict...

He might die in the chaos of war or possibly... become Divine Power Tianyang in another way...

Chen Ke didn’t want to take the risk; he had come this far, might as well go one step further...

The next day at noon, Chen Ke went to that intersection again.

Ruan Yu arrived as expected; the car door opened, and he got in.

"Forget about your goods," Chen Ke got straight to the point.

"I was already prepared for that," Ruan Yu seemed indifferent.

"It looks like you’re not too upset about those goods, moreover, you trust me too much," Chen Ke said.

"I know your capabilities; you know, a merchant’s intuition is very keen," Ruan Yu laughed.

She pulled out a cigarette case, ready to shake one out, but seeing Chen Ke’s expression, she put it back.

"I’m professional. Now it’s your turn to keep your promise," Chen Ke said.

"That friend of yours, what’s his name?" Ruan Yu asked.

"Wei Tianyang, a 14-year-old boy. He might be thin, but he’s not a bad person," Chen Ke said.

"I understand. Maybe, we could use him for some business," Ruan Yu said.

"The political situation here is unstable, and war may break out soon. I suggest you find somewhere else to operate as soon as possible. If possible, take him abroad to develop," Chen Ke said.

"I’m not looking to adopt a godson; you’re asking for quite a lot," Ruan Yu laughed.

"For you, it’s just a trivial task," Chen Ke said.

"I’ll do it for your sake," Ruan Yu said.

"There is one more thing I need to ask you," Chen Ke said.

"By rights, you should do one more thing for me... but... I’m in a good mood today, consider it a freebie," Ruan Yu said.

Saying this, she couldn’t help but pull out a woman’s cigarette, light it for herself, but this time, she opened the car window.

"How much do you know about Tiantai Pharmaceutical?" Chen Ke asked.

Ruan Yu’s hands trembled slightly as she lit her cigarette, those beautiful eyes looking at Chen Ke, "Why do you ask?"

"I have some... personal business with them," Chen Ke said.

"Their information is tricky, and as a merchant, inquiring about their matters would raise suspicions," Ruan Yu exhaled smoke.

"They won’t trouble you," Chen Ke’s eyes shone with a blue glow.

"Does your personal business... involve blood?" Ruan Yu said.

"You’re better off not knowing," Chen Ke smiled.

Ruan Yu looked at him, and after a few seconds, she laughed.

"Then make it clean. They’re not many, I don’t know why you’re doing this, but... making them disappear doesn’t seem like a bad idea," Ruan Yu laughed.

As night fell...

In the northwest part of Qiyang City, under the tall office buildings, Chen Ke stopped in his tracks.

This was the most prosperous part of Qiyang City, and these seven office buildings comprised the so-called high-tech industrial park of Qiyang City.

He had found the place Ruan Yu mentioned, Tiantai Pharmaceutical’s research team in Chicken Snake Country, a total of 22 people, also responsible for mobilizing various resources, the center of research and command.

All of them were on the 12th floor of the building before him.

Chen Ke walked towards the glass doors, his right hand drawing a Glock pistol.

He was going to do this the old-fashioned way.
