Chapter 278: 0277 worrying

Feeling a strength comparable to that of a Martial Artist in the True Qi realm, Cheng Tianhu couldn’t help but laugh unrestrainedly.

"Is this the power of the True Qi realm?" Cheng Tianhu looked at his hands and, with a faint grip, felt as if he could crush steel and concrete, his body brimming with power.

And this was just the superficial strength he showed; once he unleashed his hidden true power, it would increase tremendously.

A dark pride flitted across Cheng Tianhu’s face as he glanced coldly at the moon and murmured, "Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and that damned Ye Qiu, I will eventually make all of you my defeated followers."

Cheng Tianhu didn’t realize his every move was being observed by Ye Qiu, hidden in the shadows, who then quickly returned to base.

"There must be a secret to this man; what exactly is the thing the man in black gave him that could enhance his energy by several levels in such a short time, could it be..."

A lightbulb went off in Ye Qiu’s head as he remembered Mu Zhige mentioning a mysterious force that had developed the technology to create beast-people. Could Cheng Tianhu have ingested that substance?

As a member of the Dragon Group, whose duty it was to fight against external forces, it was incredibly ironic that Cheng Tianhu, also a member of the Dragon Group, chose to work with the enemy, even willing to become a beast-person.

For this, Cheng Tianhu chose to act, sacrificing the interests of the Dragon Group. Ye Qiu guessed that Cheng Tianhu wouldn’t stop at this; he would continue to operate in the shadows within the Dragon Group, likely staying in contact with the man in black, continuing to do things that were against the Dragon Group’s interests.

Although Ye Qiu did not possess the consciousness that every man is responsible for the fate of the world, since he had joined the Dragon Group, he naturally wouldn’t sit back and watch someone undermine it from within.

Ye Qiu had no intention of exposing Cheng Tianhu’s true self immediately. Firstly, he had just joined the Dragon Group and was a newcomer. Secondly, he wanted to find out what Cheng Tianhu was secretly providing to the man in black. As long as Cheng Tianhu was around, he would certainly act again.

Ye Qiu planned to observe Cheng Tianhu in secret. If necessary, he could also report the situation to Mei Huiling.

Otherwise, if he exposed Cheng Tianhu’s true identity too soon, not only would it lead to a relentless fight, it might also abruptly halt the actions being taken in secret.

...

Ye Qiu returned to the secret base silently, and everything seemed calm.

The man in black who obtained the data handed it over to his superiors and soon, that information appeared in faraway San Francisco.

"Chai, I wonder if the item I sent pleases you?" Fujikawa Ueno asked.

"Making a personal call to me, you, the man behind the scenes, are finally stepping forward, aren’t you?" Baron Chai said slowly.

Fujikawa Ueno knew what the other party implied; he was very dissatisfied with Fujikawa Ueno’s performance, and his words were laced with a cold sneer.

"Chai, for your data, I’ve risked a bottle of your latest development. Shouldn’t you bear this cost?"

"Mr. Fujikawa, once the data proves useful for our research, naturally, I won’t let you lose out on an opportunity to become a master."

"Mutual gain is our purpose of cooperation. I hope that this piece of cake—China—is divided only between you and me," Fujikawa Ueno said lightly.

"Mr. Fujikawa, the North-South Martial Arts Competition of China is about to be held. I wonder if your shadow will be there?" Chai inquired.

Fujikawa Ueno didn’t expect this question from him. Laughing, he said, "Baron Chai values China’s Martial Arts Competition so highly. Why not send a couple of your own to join in?"

"Mr. Gu Shan is joking, I hope you won’t disappoint me, and I wish our cooperation can last a long time," Chai hung up the phone.

"Pleasure working with you."

After the call was over, both Baron Chai and Gu Shan Bai Yi were bound together by a common purpose. The elder by Chai’s side said, "Even Gu Shan Bai Yi has personally made a call, it seems they are more eager. In this martial arts conference, there will surely be their people mixed in."

"I hope so. As long as the martial world of China remains in disarray, we will have opportunities to exploit. I’m just afraid that if they really manage to unify China’s martial world with the high echelons this time, it would be very unfavorable for us," Chai said.

"That being said, China’s high-level officials must have already realized this problem. Fortunately, everything is going smoothly so far, and I believe it won’t be long before the latest genetic liquid is completely developed."

Chai nodded. Once the latest generation of the genetic liquid was completed, he could fully activate the plans he had in place in China.

At this moment, he was almost getting impatient waiting.

...

Living at the secret base of the Dragon Group, Ye Qiu was just like always, and nothing had changed.

Mei Huiling occasionally made things difficult for Ye Qiu, creating a rather merry situation for everyone involved.

These days, the members of the Dragon Group were rigorously trained by Mei Huiling, but since Mei Huiling was the team leader, no one dared to defy her.

Cheng Tianhu was very low-profile, and Ye Qiu also developed his understanding of Cheng Tianhu through the mouths of others.

From a more seasoned member of the Dragon Group, Ye Qiu learned that Cheng Tianhu was careful in his dealings, liked to be unique, and often seemed like a proud person, difficult to get along with.

From the first glance at Cheng Tianhu, Ye Qiu felt that this man was full of aggressiveness. If it weren’t for his higher level of strength, he might have been bullied into submission.

Since Cheng Tianhu didn’t achieve his own goals, he naturally harbored hatred towards Ye Qiu, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said what he did after taking the genetic liquid.

This was enough to show that Cheng Tianhu was a person with a strong sense of revenge.

To unravel a matter, one must understand it in greater detail. Now that Cheng Tianhu had sinister intentions, Ye Qiu had to do something for the whole Dragon Group, which was also a way to solve his own troubles.

Luckily, Cheng Tianhu didn’t know that Ye Qiu was already aware of his background. One in the light, one in the dark, Ye Qiu held the advantage.

Cheng Tianhu hadn’t made any moves, always focusing on his cultivation. According to Ye Qiu’s speculation, he should be getting accustomed to the power at the True Qi level.

Ye Qiu also wondered what the force that created the genetic liquid was plotting in China, infiltrating all the way into the interior of the Dragon Group. Thinking carefully, this force was truly terrifying.

No wonder Mu Zhige said the situation in China was not optimistic. It’s likely that this force alone is enough to give China a headache. Both the higher echelons and the martial artists must take this presence seriously.

Putting himself in the shoes of others, Ye Qiu pondered all over again, starting from his encounters with everything related to this power. He gradually realized that this hidden force might be an enemy that is difficult to completely eradicate.

If such a powerful enemy remains and China’s top fighters do not unite but rather act independently, fragmented, the ultimate result might indeed be as Mu Zhige said, with China hanging by a thread.
