Sky-cracking Rider

```

The sound of guns being cocked rang out in unison, and everyone in the lobby focused their gaze on Chen Fei.

For the desperados, such provocation was a very serious matter.

The air grew tense, the scene as silent as death, with the aura of killing pervading.

After a few moments, someone finally spoke up.

"Hmph! If you manage to survive later, we'll settle this score properly!"

The menacing looking brute with a ferocious face stared intently at Chen Fei while fiddling with a tactical dagger, his threatening intention unmistakable.

"That's right, none of you are getting away later!"

Chen Fei lifted his hand nonchalantly and pointed at each person present one by one.

These guys were just there to deliver food.

Despite their fierce and difficult-to-deal-with appearance, compared to those who work in the military contracting industry, they were no better than kindergarteners; a slap could make them cry for at least half an hour.

Chen Fei took the elevator and quickly arrived at the third floor, 301, 218, 513, 414... Room number 404, why the floor's room numbers were so chaotic was probably known only to the owner of this private club.

It was evident that if the local police ever raided this club on any pretext, they would be thrown into disarray by these haphazard room numbers.

In the hallway, armed personnel loaded with guns stood everywhere, their eyes fixed intently on Chen Fei, and as he approached, they made intimidating faces and gestures in a show of bravado.

Floral shirts, colored T-shirts, beach shorts, capris, 'hot pants,' all sorts of attire were present except for formal suits; armed with weapons, they looked like a mob getting ready to start a beach party.

The corridor walls were riddled with bullet holes, and amidst the messy soot and large craters, one could even see through to the rooms on the other side of the wall.

To take over this place, these armed personnel had not held back in a firefight with Tianjiu Finance's bodyguards, with both sides unleashing substantial firepower.

Based on actual combat experience, despite the alarming scene, casualties may not necessarily be extensive.

Chen Fei completely ignored these guys, and at the door of room 404 stood the "Heng Ha Generals," puffing out their chests and bellies, trying to look imposing but standing awkwardly, giving off the vibe of a bandit hideout.

Unfortunately, he was not Yang Zirong, and neither were those inside as high-end as a mountain eagle.

Thud, thud!

In front of the "Heng Ha Generals," Chen Fei knocked on the wooden door.

"Come in!"

The two door guards opened it for him, but there was disdain and mockery in their eyes, as if they were certain Chen Fei wouldn't be able to walk out alive.

The solid wood door led to a luxuriously decorated office, at least a hundred square meters in size, with the floor covered in hand-woven natural wool carpets. However, many areas were stained with abnormal dark red, a pungent smell of blood emanating, and in the corner lay a pile of bodyguards who had long since fallen silent.

Ordinary people suddenly smelling human blood often reflexively feel nauseated and vomit, but Chen Fei merely sniffed and seemed unfazed, his expression unchanged as he calmly surveyed the entire office.

The three Li Family Siblings, the clients, were all present. Elder Brother Li Gaogao's face looked extremely unpleasant, Second Sister Li Wanjiji's face was pale, her eyes lifeless as they trembled nonstop, and the Third Brother Li Xingxing was grimacing in anger, hmm, once the adrenaline is metabolized, this guy will probably understand fear very soon.

Under the desperate protection of their bodyguards, the Li siblings were unharmed, though terrified.

In contrast to the three of them who looked unscathed, the surviving bodyguards were in sorry states, blackened eyes and bruised faces, all battered and bearing injuries, with some even sustaining gunshot wounds that had been hastily bandaged, barely clinging to life.

```

A hoarse voice came from the direction of the large desk.

A burly man with a head full of dirty braids and high, straight eyebrows was sizing up Chen Fei, his gaze falling on the small black box on his wrist.

Behind the large desk, seven or eight guys were holding automatic weapons, including machine guns and grenade launchers—this firepower was a bit against the rules.

"Release the hostages first!"

Chen pointed at those huddled in the corner, not only the three Li Family brats but also the surviving bodyguards.

"You're not in a position to make demands."

The man with the dirty braids sneered, seemingly mocking Chen Fei for not realizing who was really in charge here.

"Fine then!"

Chen lifted his hand, casually raising the little black box as well, tapping on the handcuffs and the box, and said, "You figure out how to open it, I won't do it."

He merely asked out of formality, never really expecting the other side to have an epiphany of conscience, especially at this juncture—how could they possibly go soft-hearted now?

The handcuffs were just ordinary police handcuffs, but the box was not an ordinary one. It required a key, a dial combination, and an electronic key for the digital interface—missing any one element would make the box impossible to open.

"And it's not just this, but that Big Cat too. Don't think I don't know anything."

The leader of the armed personnel kept sneering coldly.

It seemed he really did know something.

Li Gaogao, who had been silent up to this point, finally changed his expression drastically, but the impatient Li Xingxing couldn't help blurting out in disbelief.

"How do you know?"

Li Gaogao's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately scolded, "Third Brother, shut up!"

At this moment, the more they said, the more mistakes they would make. The opponent was no fool, quite astute in fact. He turned his gaze towards Chen Fei, with a questioning look in his eyes.

Chen got the hint, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I'm paid to solve problems, not to do extra work."

Li Gaogao no longer doubted; descendants of the Chen Family Gate simply disdained from engaging in deceit over these matters.

"Great White Shark, give him a hand!"

The man with the dirty braids gestured with his mouth towards someone at his side.

"Hey, sure thing, I, the Great White Shark, love to lend a helping hand—hehehe..."

A burly white man pulled out a Big Dog's Leg from behind his waist, swung it a few times in his hand, revealing a cruel smile, and started closing in on Chen, chuckling menacingly.

Who needs keys? Just chop off the hand and the box will be in hand; who's afraid it won't open then?

"Wait, I have the key! Second Brother, the box's code!"

Li Gaogao could no longer restrain himself and shouted loudly while nudging his second sister, Li Wanjiji, with his shoulder.

If they really chopped off Chen's hand, it would likely cause the Li and Chen families to have a fallout right there, and their father was almost ready to make them a sacrificial offering to the heavens.

"Ah! I know the code, it's 62621748! Xingxing, where's the electronic key?"

```

Li Wanji kicked her younger brother Li Xingxing.

Li Xingxing said with a mournful face, "The electronic key is hanging around my neck."

The three siblings were each in charge of the keys to unlock the shackles and box on Chen Fei's hands. According to the original plan, they would return to their homeland two days later, which is when they would unlock Chen Fei.

"Great White Shark, just wait a moment, all three of you, and that big cat!"

The burly man with filthy dreadlocks and a high, straight brow made a withdrawing gesture, and the chubby white man begrudgingly carried Big Dog's Leg back behind the large desk. Find your next adventure on empire

An underling with a walkie-talkie approached Li Gaogao, and meanwhile, glared at Chen Fei.

It was clearly the unlucky kid who had been bluntly told "F**K-U" and then hung up on during the conversation with the latter.

Li Gaogao held two keys in his hand, one to unlock the handcuffs and the other to open the box. Li Wanji's password was really simple; after dialing the eight-digit rotary code and inserting Li Xingxing's electronic key pendant into the box's data port, a twist of the key produced a soft click, and the box opened to reveal a small box fixed in thick foam inside.

Inside the box was a white sphere the size of a ping-pong ball.

The burly man had just taken the white sphere in his hand when an innocent-looking big cat was dragged in by the scruff of the neck.

Er Lang was just a little kitty. How could it harbour any ill intentions!

He laughed when he saw the silly, non-resistant big cat.

"I can't believe you thought of that, Great White Shark!"

The scene that followed was going to be bloody.

"Oh!"

The boss's intention was clear, but the chubby white man seemed lackluster. Killing a cat to prove a point was nonsense to him.

"Meow?" (=￣ω￣=)

Did they really think that little broken knife could penetrate the hide of a Seventh Rank Magical Beast of the Human Order?

Although the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet's racial talents in the Psychic and Wind Series didn't specialize in physical defense, ordinary cold weapons in human hands would still struggle to pose a threat to it.

Seeing this, Li Gaogao hurriedly said, "Wait, I have an emetic!"

But deep down, he let out a sigh of relief.

To bring in a Seventh Rank Magical Beast of the Human Order with bare hands—these guys must be tired of living.

Miss Li Wanji blinked her beautiful eyes, waiting for the big cat to show its might and kill all the thieves in the room.

It would be great if that fatso nicknamed "Great White Shark" could be sliced and dried into fish jerky.

Li Xingxing's eyes widened with anticipation.

The emetic (men's cologne) was handed to the chubby white man, who examined it from all angles, sprayed it aimlessly into the air, sniffed it, nodded his head in approval, and found it quite fragrant!

He spritzed himself a few times before spraying it directly in the big cat's face.

"Bluargh!!!!"

The big cat vomited on the spot.

The scent was so strong it broke through its defenses right away!

The sensory experiences of humans and animals differ greatly. Some scents that humans find pleasing may not be perceived the same way by other creatures.

For instance, castoreum, which is actually a secretion from a beaver's scent gland.

"Damn!"

The chubby white man moved like a nimble fatso, leaping three feet away and narrowly avoiding the murky vomit the big cat spewed out.

A white sphere with sticky mucus was mixed in it.

"That's it, water, wash it clean!"

The burly man behind the large desk jumped to his feet.

A few bottles of water poured down, further ruining the pure hand-woven wool carpet that was already a mess—definitely unsalvageable.

The two white spheres looked indistinguishable on the outside, but to prevent confusion, the burly man immediately made distinctions with a marker—one with a cross, one with a circle, making sure they would not be mixed up.

The burly man carefully placed the two little spheres into a box, securing it close to his body, and then dialed a phone number.

"The item is in hand… Understood!"

After the call, he waved his hand and ordered, "Prepare their farewell gifts, then let's clear out!"

The so-called farewell gifts were actually one explosive vest for each person.

Even the big cat got one, with a bulging little vest, it immediately had a new look.

No one dared to make a move. Any sudden movement, and everything would explode—there would be no escape.

A group of armed personnel with guns quickly left the private club, running away cleanly and efficiently.

"Chen Fei, Er Lang, why didn't you counterattack?"

Li Gaogao, who dared not make any sudden moves, eventually couldn't contain himself.

He couldn't believe the ridiculousness of the situation—a B-grade Metal Ability User, together with a Seventh Rank Dual-Elemental Magical Beast, couldn't take care of these armed commoners?

His "Universal Data Transceiver" bracelet retracted from the explosive vest's data port, and Chen Fei twisted his body, took off the explosive vest under everyone's gaze, and ripped it apart with both hands—shredding it on the spot.

Decrypting the explosive vest's core control drive board through the data port was easier than eating and drinking.

As long as it didn't detonate on the spot, Chen Xiao'er had no problem handling such a device.

He didn't answer Li Gaogao's question but instead asked, "Hmm! Do you have any spare little spheres?"

"You mean…"

Li Gaogao was taken aback, his eyes slowly growing wider.

A possibility involuntarily emerged from the bottom of his heart.

That's impossible!!!
