Chapter 172
Chapter 172 At this instant, Fade Chen's expression was cruel and remorseless. Grim and pitiless, itwas a dreadful sight to behold, and Captain Hu could not help cowering in fear. Captain Hu shudderedin terror, realizing too late that he was facing a martial-artist of the Black Level. Shancus Wan had beenslain by this young man of high skill and strength. Captain Hu had always reveled in his status as aLate Yellow Level martial artist, even if it was not as high a level as Fade Chen's. Also, as the leader ofthe Stealth Team, he had assumed Fade Chen would not act in insurrection. Their disparity in strengthand skill was apparent, and everything that he had prided himself on had no bearings whatsoever. Itwas almost ludicrous. Ultimately he regretted his decisions and understood Sergeant Wang's intentionin trying to come to compromise. After all, they were dealing with a Black-level martial-artist. Parallel tothis, at Bay City's Stealth team department, Officer Qin was tense and agitated. He tapped his fingerson the table, asking, "Any news from Vice Officer Liu? Has he managed to stop Rocky Hu?" Hissecretary looked up, confused at Officer Qin who was in jitters. He had posed this question less thanthree minutes ago. Why the need to pester? However the secretary proceeded to check on the relevantupdates, reporting, "Officer Qin, Captain Hu has arrived at Mr. Chen's mansion. Vice Officer Liu is stillon the way, he said he will reach shortly. ---- "What! Already at the mansion!" Officer Qin stood up inalarm, looking nervous. "Rocky Hu better not cause any trouble, or sacking him ten times would notsuffice." "Try contacting Rocky Hu again and restrain him from further action. Tell Vice Office Liu tohasten, he has to stop Rocky Hu before the situation gets out of hand." Officer Qin said. The secretarycarried out his instructions promptly, answering, "Captain Hu's cell phone is on silent mode and I can'treach him. Vice Officer Liu has replied that he can currently see the mansion at a distance and willarrive shortly." "Get there in time, don't get into trouble!" Officer Qin muttered distractedly. He was stillreeling from the previous phone call. The information he received was so mind-blowing, he wasstunned in disbelief. It took him a few seconds before he could recover from it. It was beyond hiscomprehension that such a legendary character could exist in such a small town like Bay City. Toreceive a phone call from such upper-level authorities was unthinkable. Another thought crossed hismind. If Rocky Hu offended Mr. Chen, not only would he lose his job and title, he might even lose his
life! At this, Officer Qin became even more agitated and distressed. He began to urge the secretaryagain. "Can you find out once more if Vice Officer Liu has arrived?" Silent and confused, the secretaryimmediately contacted Vice Officer Liu via cell phone. "Vice Officer Liu, Officer Qin asked if you havereached your destination?" ----- On the other side, Vice Officer Liu was getting off the car outside themansion. Clutching the phone, he ran towards the mansion, panting. "I'm here, I'm here, rest assuredOfficer Qin, I will stop Rocky Hu immediately." At this moment, in the courtyard of the mansion, RockyHu was still in the grip of Fade Chen, slowly losing his breath With an icy expression, Fade Chenreleased him and threw him to the ground. He then turned around and walked back towards themansion. Rocky Hu fell, gasping and panting. He looked on as Fade Chen left, feeling a whirlwind ofemotions. He wanted revenge, but recalling Fade Chen's cruel and remorseless expression, he felt hisheart lurch and could not bring himself to command his men to continue the attack. "Captain, captain,are you all right? A team member helped Rocky Hu up and asked, "Captain, what is your nextcommand?" "We.." Rocky Hu was hesitant, deciding whether to continue with the attack or retreat. Atthis moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard coming towards them. "Stop, all of you,stop." Rocky Hu turned his head at the sound, and saw that it was his superior, Vice Officer Liu.Shocked, he spoke, "Vice Officer Liu, what are you doing here?" "You're in trouble." Vice Officer Liuspoke in a low tone and glared at Rocky Hu. He walked in great strides towards Fade Chen and said,"Mr. Chen, good evening. I am Bay City Stealth Team department's vice officer, Yosef Liu." Rocky Huwas puzzled at Vice Officer Liu's arrival. He became even more confused with Vice Officer Liu'sdeferential attitude towards Fade Chen ---- Fade Chen stopped. Sizing up the middle-aged man in frontof him who was sweating profusely, he said, "Are you here to arrest me too?" Yosef Liu's expressionchanged. He quickly gestured his hand to deny this, "No, no, of course not. What happened before wasall a misunderstanding. I was specifically tasked to send you this, Mr. Chen." "What's this?" Fade Chenlooked at the small package in Yosef Liu's hands and immediately thought of the old man on the phonejust now. He had promised to get him an identity card or certificate. Fade Chen nodded and withoutemotion, he said, "Bring it over." Yosef Liu respectfully handed him the package and Fade Chenopened it. Inside, to his surprise, was a Stealth Team special unit badge, and on it was his name. His
new identity was to be the special unit instructor of the Stealth team. Moreover, because the Stealthteam organization was part of the military, Fade Chen was given the corresponding rank. He looked atit and saw that he was ranked as General At the sight of this, Fade Chen was speechless. He had toldthe old man that he had ran afoul of the Stealth team, and now the old man had provided him theseStealth Team identifications. He was officially a Stealth Team member, and he was frankly baffled bythis turn of events. Yosef Liu looked at Fade Chen, not daring to breathe in the fear of offending thisimportant and mysterious personage. As Fade Chen kept the documents, he sighed in relief, histhrobbing heartbeat calming down slightly. "Mr. Chen, the Stealth team is to be blamed for this incident.If Mr. Chen would like them to be reprimanded, we will be ----- happy with any form of punishment."Yosef Liu spoke in deference. He pulled Rocky Hu over, saying sternly, "What are you waiting for,apologize to Mr. Chen!" Rocky Hu was at a loss, but he had no choice but to lower his head, speakingreluctantly, "I apologize Mr. Chen, for offending you. Please punish me." Fade Chen looked at ViceOfficer Liu, who was tense and worried, he glanced back at his Stealth team identification documents.He sighed silently. Since he was now a part of the team, these were his men now. He hd to be thebigger person and let bygones be bygones.novelbin
