Chapter 356: Storm Brewing, The Assemble of Heroes All Around The World at Tianbei

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

His calm tone was filled with unspeakable confidence and calmness. A supposedly prideful statement turned out as something that was not resentful to the ears, as if that was how things were supposed to be.

Strength! This is strength! When you have sufficient strength, anything that you say would not come off as arrogant and people would just agree with you! Just like a millionaire that drove a tractor or walked on the streets in a beggar outfit, everyone would say that was his personality instead of looking down on him.

“In passing? You want to have a duel with someone in Tianbei City?”

A female reporter’s eyes lit up suddenly. She captured the meaning of Young Hades’s words instantly. The other reporters started taking photos of Young Hades with continuous flashes.

“No, no, no, not a duel. Just to settle someone in passing. Let’s just say, it’s a leisure activity during the concert.”

“Oh!”

Dozens of reporters nodded simultaneously. They began to pray for the man who was about to be beaten up brutally by Young Hades. They hoped that the martial artist who was targeted would run as far as he could. This descendant of the Venus White Tiger was rumored to be the same as his father. Out of ten battles, nine battles would involve the near-death experience of their opponent. As for the remaining one, the opponent would have surrendered automatically before being attacked.

Qin Fen came in front of the computer and the troublesome policemen gave way subconsciously. They looked at Qin Fen carefully and were guessing secretly about what was on the mind of their captain.

“Oh? He’s a lot more handsome than I thought!”

Qin Fen placed both his hands on the table. He looked at the computer screen and carefully observed the martial artist who stood at the peak of the younger generation, Young Hades.

Hades had a slender body shape, his body oozed a faint compelling heroic aura and his looks were even more delicate… Indeed! Very delicate! So delicate that many women would feel inferior in front of him. His fine eyebrows resembled a willow tree, his eyes revealed mist, and his lips were slightly thin. Furthermore, he had that delicate and tall nose bridge, and his skin was fairer and more tender than snow.

Instead of handsome, beautiful would be a word more suited for Young Hades. The strong killing intent from his body, when matched with his good looks, created a unique charm. Many female reporters that were interviewing him flashed a little love in their eyes.

“Actually, we are all very curious. As the peak martial artist from the younger generation, are you stronger? Or is Shang Guan Chuan Qi stronger?”

Hades smiled. This was a question someone would surely ask every single time he accepted an interview, “Of course it’s me.”

When the phone rang once again, Wu Hui looked down to see the caller ID, “Captain, it’s from the bureau chief’s office. It’s probably a reminder.”

Han Jing’s fingers kept tapping the table, “Hello, Little Qin? Are you busy now? Why haven’t you come over yet? You’re coming now? Good, hurry up.”

Han Jing hung up the phone, and both his index fingers were tapping constantly on the surface of the table. He was really scared. Those from the special security detachment wouldn’t go seek their captain and investigate Tianbei City thoroughly on their own accord again, right? No one could take on such a tormenting method.

A knock, a push against the door, followed by the entrance into the room.

With these three simple moves, Qin Fen arrived on the couch.

Han Jing’s worry finally decreased, and his anxious expression turned into a smile in a blink of an eye, “Little Qin, I called you here this time to have a discussion. There is an important task in the bureau that would be assigned to your special security detachment.”

Qin Fen was a little surprised. Although Bureau Chief Han rarely spoke, it was apparent that this Bureau Chief had been praying these past few days for the young men of the special security detachment to retain their old work habits and cease their working.

What happened today? There’s a task? Qin Fen nodded lightly, “What important task?”

“It’s like this.” Han Jing picked up a file, “Flying Hearts will be coming to our Tianbei City concert in a few days. According to the practice from all the places in the past…”

Flying Hearts? The lovely twins from the other day flashed across Qin Fen’s mind. They had petite bodies yet they could exert such fierce heavy metal rock.

“You intend to say, you’re letting our special security detachment be responsible for the safety of Flying Hearts in Tianbei City?” Qin Fen asked quickly, “Then the remedial work of the entertainment venues in the city…”

“This work will be taken over by me for the time being.” Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said quickly, “Little Qin, the special security detachment has achieved great results these days. You won’t mind this old man picking up the fruit of your labor, right?”

“Yes, that’s right, Old Liu has just started working, and really needs some achievements, you see…”

Han Jing helped hastily. The entertainment venues in Tianbei City these days had been swept madly by the special security detachment. Although it wasn’t entirely swept clean, it had everyone know that as long as Qin Fen and his special security detachment was in Tianbei City, there would be things that were a hundred percent forbidden.

Recently, many entertainment venues had been greeting Han Jing through special channels. The staff that they had employed in their venue currently were absolutely, absolutely free of forced participation! They were all recruited from other entertainment venues abroad.

Han Jing also understood and confirmed that the venues that greeted him had indeed never done any activities with force. If there was anyone who was selling drugs at their turf, these people would be the first to file a report with the police and had these drug pushers sent to the police station.

Those from the underworld had considered retaliation and had even taken risks by hiring hitmen. They wanted to kill the Deputy Bureau Chief Qin, who was almost like a mad dog that bitten them and refused to let go.

However, those first-rate hitmen whom they employed back-to-back with a high price were all brought back to the station by Deputy Bureau Chief Qin before they even had the chance to fire a shot.

Even poisoning was attempted. It’s just that not long after every poisoning was done, the person who placed the poison would die from “self-consumed poison”. Meanwhile, the target Deputy Chief Qin would still be alive and kicking in this world.

To employ an assassin would cost money, and it would cost a lot! Several hitmen returned only with failure and the underworld felt that it would be a waste of money if they continued to spend money like this.

Threaten? Someone once rushed to Yang Ruoruo’s home to threaten her and as a result, the person who issued the threats was surrounded and beaten up violently at a dark alley at the same time the next day, just at a different location. They were beaten up so badly that they could no longer manage themselves for the rest of their lives.

The underworld were not idiots. Soon enough, they received information from their channels that it was done by the local armed police. It was rumored that the members of the special security detachment were ashamed by the fact that the person their boss tried to protect was threatened, therefore they decided to make a move on their own accord.

Methods through force wouldn’t work, and anyone would welcome soft methods. If they turned their backs against them, they would continue investigations in a fair and just manner. The underworld finally understood one thing.

Deputy Bureau Chief Qin was setting rules! There was a bottom line to this rule. You mustn’t force anyone to work in this special industry, and you mustn’t sell drugs! Anyone who crossed this bottom line regardless of whoever was supporting you, Deputy Bureau Chief Qin would be able to pull off things like having twenty-one raids in a week.

No matter how gutsy the underworld was nowadays, they still needed to eat. Qin Fen’s special security detachment had inspected the same place three times in a day, and every inspection took three to five days. Who would still be a patron? Without patrons, should they only drink the northwest wind [1]?

Since resistance was futile, they decided to adhere to the rules for the time being. Those who could adapt to the rules chose to stay in Tianbei City, and the few who were yet to be caught and unable to adapt to the rules simply chose to move to other cities to run their business!

Qin Fen looked at the two bureau chiefs who were impatient like monkeys and nodded lightly.

Dishonest practices as such had never been swept clean before since the development of human society. Qin Fen never thought that he would be able to sweep away these things with just the power in his hands. Even Tianbei City was not an exception and it would be impossible to eradicate these types of crimes completely.

As he was once positioned at the bottom of the hierarchy, Qin Fen knew that some people did not have the funds to attend school due to their family background. Naturally, they grew up with no means to help them earn a living. Selling their own bodies was also something they did due to the lack of choice.

He once saw a person who sold their own body to provide for their younger brother’s school tuition.

“I don’t have any skills, but I can’t let my brother have no skills too, right?”

A very long time ago, when Qin Fen was working hard in his part-time job, he encountered a woman who sold her body by accident. When she said this, the flashing radiance on her face was still in his mind.

“Little Qin, you should hand over the work as soon as possible.” Han Jing was afraid that Qin Fen would regret his actions, “Little Qin, you can rest assured! We will never damage the new rules and orders that had been built painstakingly. To be honest, I also like the new order today. Especially because of the emergence of this new rule, it has made our intel much smoother than before.”

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu nodded a few times. Although it hadn’t been a long time since he took office, it was indeed easier to deal with cases these days compared to the past. The cooperation of various pipelines was far more active than before.

“Alright…” Qin Fen felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. He got up and said, “Sorry, I need to take a call.”

The phone call was from Lin Liqiang. The moment Qin Fen connected the phone call, he heard Lin Liqiang’s surprised voice rushing out of the receiver, “Old Qin, have you heard? Young Hades came to Earth! And he is now in Tianbei City, where you are currently at.”

“Yeah, he’s here.” Qin Fen leaned his back against the wall, “Tianbei City entertainment news even said that he might look for me soon and have a duel against me. Your news is as fast as always.”

“Tsk tsk… this can be considered a battle between the younger generation’s peaks. When will the fight take place? Tell that Young Netherworld King to not rush into a fight. No matter what, you need to wait for your buddies to come over before both of you fight.”

Qin Fen could only smile bitterly, “How is your confidence in me stronger than myself? You never considered the possibility that I would lose?”

“Haha…” Lin Liqiang whispered very quietly yet smoothly, “If you lose, your wife will be gone! For Jia Jia, you have to work hard. Even though Young Hades is super strong, if you put some effort, you will be strong too right?”

Dudu… dudu…

Qin Fen held the phone while the side of his lips twitched. The phone conversation with Lin Liqiang had yet to finish, and Xue Tian had called as well.

Conference mode…

Qin Fen switched the phone’s mode and it became a three-person chat instantly. When the call connected, Xue Tian’s excited voice struck Qin Fen’s eardrum, “Old Qin! Tell Young Hades, don’t do it yet! I am performing a task, and soon the task would be complete! Make sure to wait for me! I would like to join in the fun too…”

Qin Fen was unsure whether to laugh or cry. This Xue Tian never forgot to join the fun even while executing his task.

Dudu… dudu…

This time, it was Xing Wuyi who called.

Before Qin Fen could connect the calls into the conference mode, Du Peng’s call also came over. Little Dragon King Yang Lie, Creator Brooks, Great Emperor Caesar…

It was as if these people made an appointment beforehand with complete disregard to the high telco charges for calls across borders, and shared the mindset to make a contribution to the telecommunication company.

Conference mode, conference mode, conference mode, conference mode…

“Qin Fen! Don’t start your fight with Young Hades, I am applying for holiday! And if I really can’t make it, you must not lose! You must not lose! The person who defeats you must be me!”

This was the opening speech of Little Dragon King Yang Lie…

“Qin Fen, tatata…”

Xing Wuyi had just opened his mouth when a burst of fierce gunshots accompanied by the sounds of anti-tank rockets explosions rushed into the mic.

Cold sweat could be seen on Qin Fen’s forehead. Was Xing Wuyi performing counter-terrorism right now? I heard from Du Peng a few days ago that Xing Wuyi was performing counter-terrorism tasks. How did he get the news in such a situation? It sounded like a fierce battle was commencing, how can he still remember…

“You must wait for me! Soon! I will soon destroy these bunch of terrorists whose brains are broken!” Dududu…

Xing Wuyi’s call hung up. His task now was obviously intense, but he still called in at the first instant. What kind of spirit is this?

Qin Fen’s heart was touched. In this situation, he still paid attention to himself. Other than wanting to spectate the battle, there was even more concern and encouragement in his call that came at the first instance.

Xing Wuyi and others were clear about the rules issued by Qilin Song Wendong, yet they still stood on his side and supported him. Is this not encouragement?

“What Yang Lie said is exactly what I wanted to say.” Split Sky Brooks said lazily, “I am rushing over, You must wait for me before you start the fight. Also! Never lose to him! Wait for me to finish Xue Tian then I will finish you. You two can only lose to me.”

“Qin Fen, after the spar, my Annihilation of the Whole Clan had improved a lot.” Caesar sounded gentle, “So, the person who defeats you should be me. Wait for me… commanding officer, I have to take time off!”

Qin Fen only then realized that Caesar was running and speaking at the same time. He was rushing to apply for time off while making the phone call.

“Hehe…”

Qin Fen felt another touching moment. Although the people he fought in the Recruit Tournament still had the heart that wanted to defeat him, they also had a special kind of friendship. Coming to watch the battle at such a time could be considered a form of support! Support to face Qilin Song Wendong!

“Qin Fen… You can only die in my hands, Mourad Tschick…”

The gloomy voice filled with killing intent came from Shang Guan Chuan Qi’s junior, Mourad Tschick of the Three Heroes of West Asia.

Qin Fen shrugged his shoulders. This guy jumped out suddenly just to say such a gloomy one-liner, yet his stubbornness also made the others feel a little touched.

“Win…”

A sentence with only one word. Besides Enzo Rota, Qin Fen couldn’t think of anyone else who would say this.

The phone was now in the mode where Qin Fen no longer had to connect the incoming phone calls manually. All the incoming phone calls would join the conference call directly.

Lively! It’s so lively! Qin Fen shook his head again and again. He did not expect that the emergence of Young Hades could make so many people rush toward him in the first instance.

“Kid! Don’t bring us shame!” Squad Leader Hao’s voice screamed from the phone, “I’m telling you, Phoenix made a comment. If you lose, she will smack you until your face becomes larger than your buttocks.”

Hehe…

The pleasing voice resembled a silver bell, or somewhat like an Oriole also had a touch of concern.

It was Song Jia’s voice. Qin Fen’s eyes lit up instantly, “You’re here?”

“En…”

Song Jia’s voice revealed a little sadness that could not be said. After she was taken back, she must have suffered a lot.

“I…” Qin Fen scratched his head, “Will you come and watch?”

“I…”

“She will go and watch.”

The low voice that sounded like an irresistible male bass passed from the phone to Qin Fen’s ear suddenly.

In an instant! The body hair of these young martial artists from around the world who were in the phone conversation stood up straight like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and cold air surrounded their scalps.

A strong person! An absolute strong person! Even if it was just across the phone, he gave others a feeling that you needed to concentrate your spirit to counterbalance the impact from that one sentence.

Song Jia’s father! The corner of Qin Fen’s lips twitched, and he was lost for words.

After two seconds, Qin Fen regained his calmness and said into the microphone with a humble tone, “Thank you.”

Dudu…

Song Jia’s phone hung up, and the phone that was in conference mode became silent for another two seconds. Yang Lie said slowly, “So if that strength isn’t even from a divine beast, how powerful is a divine beast?”

“It’s powerful, extremely powerful.” Lin Liqiang sighed repeatedly, “It’s so powerful that with only one sentence, his followers would hit your buttocks until you are unable to sit for a week. Even if you used a pillow made from geese feather, it would still be useless. You can only lie on your stomach when you sleep and only stand on normal days…”

“Ah?” Xue Tian smiled, “Young Master Lin, from the way you said it, it seems like you’ve experienced it before.”

“Of course!” Lin Liqiang said with a little frustration, “Old Qin, the last time I snuck Song Jia out as a favor for you, I was caught by Butler Hou. My buttocks were hit until it could blossom. This time, no matter what, you have to introduce the prettiest policewoman from your station to me! Or else it would be my big loss!”

“Little Qin Qin, do your best!”

Qin Fen was shocked. Wang Ying? Another sister-in-law? How did she get the news? Ah! Fei Wei! They used to be in the same club.

“Qin Fen, who is this woman?” Phoenix’s voice raised.

“Little Qin Qin, is this woman your girlfriend?” Wang Ying’s curious voice followed closely.

Oh no! Qin Fen’s brain stalled for a moment. Both of them seemed to have a deep connection with his brother.

“This… I have a meeting, let’s talk about this later…”

Qin Fen hung up the phone and took a long breath. My brother! What were you doing outside? Both my sisters-in-law are so sassy. If given a choice between facing both of them or challenging Qilin one-on-one, I’d surely choose to fight Qilin one-on-one.
