Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Latent Threat

[The robbery case at our city’s jewelry store has been solved!]

[According to the investigation by the Security Bureau, Tianheng Company had close ties with the recent jewelry store robbers, and it is suspected that the parties involved had an unequal share of the loot, leading to a conflict yesterday where firearms were used, and both parties perished.]

[After continuous investigation, the United Council found that Tianheng Company is suspected of violating city regulations Article 2, Article 5, Article 13, which are respectively murder for hire, bribery, intentional injury... All shareholders of the company have now been detained...]

On the bus, Chen Feng looked at the news on his phone.

Somewhat surprised, since he didn’t see any information about his own wanted status.

Including the result of the case report, it was obviously incorrect.

"Is the Security Bureau hiding the truth?"

His gaze lingered on phrases like unequal share of loot, naturally aware that the two Half-Modified People he killed yesterday were those robbers.

Their appearances were very similar to the simulation images, but at that time he could not care about anything else and needed to make a quick decision.

"So, the group that robbed the jewelry store were actually under Gao Tianheng’s command."

"But he doesn’t seem to be short of money, so why would he send people to rob a jewelry store?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chen Feng always felt that something was amiss.

Tianheng Society, jewelry store, Security Bureau...

Words flashed through his mind one after another, and that powerful silver-gray Modified Person also didn’t seem like someone Gao Tianheng could be associated with.

Thinking over and over, he couldn’t find an answer.

Until finally, the bus reached the station, Chen Feng shook his head and could only suppress his mixed feelings for the moment, and got off at the station.

Taking steps forward, he soon walked into the Sub Martial Arts Hall on the street.

Floor-to-ceiling windows lined up behind him, showing one after another student arriving.

"The boss of Tianheng Society was actually killed."

"Damn, who did it?"

"Didn’t you see the news? It’s that group who robbed the jewelry store..."

Low murmurs reached Chen Feng’s ears, his steps as usual, his expression calm, giving away nothing.

Since the Security Bureau concealed his existence, it was a good thing.

What he needed to do was to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid exposure.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Individual students blocking the way slightly startled, feeling as if their vision dimmed a bit.

Quickly, turning their heads, they recognized it was Chen Feng.

Most stopped whispering, subconsciously moving aside a bit.

[Fear Value +1!]

The panel prompt came, although the fear value was very low, almost negligible.

But Chen Feng still raised an eyebrow.

Really?

"Haha, blame yourself for beating Wu Tian too harshly yesterday."

Teasing laughter sounded, Lin Hao came a step later and walked to Chen Feng’s side among many surprised gazes, patting his shoulder.

"Besides, many people know about his background, they’d naturally avoid getting involved with you at all costs."

With a smile, Chen Feng turned his head to look at Lin Hao, who was dressed in loose gray sportswear, appearing somewhat gloating.

Chen Fengexpressionless, bluntly said: "Aren’t you afraid?"

"I am, but it doesn’t matter, at worst I’ll just stop practicing martial arts."

Lin Hao shrugged, his tone not really caring.

Practicing martial arts was just his hobby, the worst outcome was just not being able to mix here and leave dejectedly.

Chen Feng relaxed his gaze, but before he could continue speaking, Lin Hao leaned in closer and quietly hinted, "Gao Tianheng was killed yesterday."

"Do you know?"

"Just found out." Chen Feng said calmly.

Keep pretending, buddy. Lin Hao didn’t believe it, but he tactfully refrained from asking more.

Even nonchalantly hinting, "I heard from someone, the real murderer is another person, seems to be a Modified Person."

"And... there are forces looking for him, it seems like they want to avenge that group who robbed the jewelry store..."

Lin Hao looked deeply at Chen Feng for a few moments, finished speaking, and then turned—and headed to the changing room.

Chen Feng stood there slightly stunned, with many thoughts flashing through his mind.

The gang that robbed the jewelry store? Weren’t they all already dead?

Could it be.... Hmm?

His gaze shifted, Chen Feng thought again about the silver-gray Transformed Person he encountered when he was about to leave the building of the Tianheng Company yesterday.

There was a circular pattern on the left side of their chest.

It looked somewhat familiar, but he was too exhausted yesterday to think it through.

Now...

After searching for related images on his mobile phone, his eyes focused and Chen Feng found the answer.

"Utopia...."

No wonder it looked familiar, as it was the organizational emblem of Utopia.

It’s a pattern that frequently appears on wanted posters within Chi Country.

Suddenly, all the key connections came together.

Chen Feng quickly understood Lin Hao’s meaning.

Utopia was looking for him.

Or more accurately, they were looking for his Green Armor Form.

"Seems like I should use the Green Armor Form less for a while."

Narrowing his eyes, Chen Feng thought to himself.

Finally seeing that it was getting late, he went to the locker room to change his clothes.

....

"A tiger gathers strength, standing still as if crouching, punching as if flying through the sky."

"The visualization of Red Tiger Flying Sky Map is to let you comprehend the Red Tiger True Intent, thereby initiating the qi and blood throughout the body, tempering the skin, muscle, bones, and viscera..."

In the training room, sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Cao Tong arrived on time and began instructing everyone.

One by one, the students either were standing or punching; some were gradually becoming Entry-level, but only a very few had mastered the Tiger Form.

As usual, Cao Tong’s gaze lingered on Chen Feng and Wu Tian.

After yesterday’s incident, he had roughly inquired about the friction between the two.

Fortunately, it was just a clash of pride, nothing serious.

Even if Senior Sister Wu took special care of Wu Tian, he could only turn a blind eye.

Thinking this, he looked at Chen Feng practicing alone in a corner, with a group of people obviously avoiding him.

Cao Tong shook his head, but deep down, he grew more appreciative of Chen Feng.

Then, without delay,

Within everyone’s sight, he waved to Chen Feng, signaling him to come over.

"Brother Cao?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"Come with me."

Cao Tong said and quickly led Chen Feng out of the training room.

Seeing this, Lin Hao frowned, and many students nearby also stopped their standing postures.

"What’s going on?"

"Could it be because of Wu Tian?"

"Is he warning Chen Feng?"

Several people murmured softly. Lin Hao glanced over and saw Wu Tian and Pei Yue standing by the window, also stopping their Martial Arts Training.

"It seems, even Coach Cao doesn’t dare to offend Master Wu."

Pei Yue thought to himself, while Wu Tian narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

"My aunt doesn’t know about this."

Rubbing his left cheek, he could still feel some residual pain.

Remembering the humiliation of losing two teeth repeatedly.

But...

Although he was annoyed with Chen Feng, he disdained from complaining to elders.

Thus, he also couldn’t understand why Cao Tong would take him away alone.

It surely couldn’t be something good, could it?
