The thunder was so great that a leather jacket couldn’t contain it.
Chen Huaian understood that as a combatant, wearing a leather jacket in such a thunderous situation was indeed necessary for convenience, but leaving an intentional gap was excessive! It was the height of summer—testing who?
He had just woken up and was at his most energetic moment of the day.
Unable to bear these actions, he must sternly stop them!
Lin Chen covered her chest, her cheeks slightly red, her sinister eyes spitting out three-tenths of coldness: “Seek death!”
She whipped Chen Huaian, the sharp whistle of the whip reaching before the action itself.
Lin Chen seemed to already see the barbs on the whip tearing off this man’s face.
However, the whip was deflected by an invisible energy wall before it could reach him, instead shattering the glass beside the desk. The force from the whip also caused Lin Chen to stagger several steps.
“Captain Zhao, how much does this window cost?” Chen Huaian flicked his fingers, a glint in his eyes.
In less than 0.5 seconds, he had already reacted.
This big thunder was definitely not a new member; it was likely here to cause trouble!
Since that’s the case…
“This is specially tempered glass, costing over twenty thousand per pane.” Zhao Ying looked at Chen Huaian.
It wasn’t an illusion; within a night, Chen Huaian seemed to have gained a mysterious aura.
Like a sword suddenly sharpened.
Chen Huaian winked at Zhao Ying: “Ahem, Captain Zhao, think carefully, isn’t this glass worth more than that? I remember this glass has a complicated history, seems quite valuable…”
Zhao Ying initially didn’t understand what Chen Huaian meant,
but remembering Chen Huaian’s fear of financial insufficiency, she got it.
Zhao Ying smacked her head, feigning realization: “Oh, Governor, I remember now, this glass is specially tempered, but it also contains rare materials, after all, it protects your office. It costs one hundred and fifty thousand per pane.”
Yes, two thousand expanded sevenfold to one hundred and fifty thousand, not bad.
One shouldn’t go too far; with the shattered glass, pricing it in the millions would be insulting.
Chen Huaian felt it was enough and stared at the angry Lin Chen with a cold smile:
“You heard that? Credit card or EasyPay?”
Lin Chen did not respond, only staring at Chen Huaian: “They call you Governor, you… are Chen Huaian?”
“That’s right, I don’t change my name or surname. I am the super invincible, extremely handsome Chen Huaian!”
Zhao Ying/Xiang Xiaoyuan: “…”
Lin Chen: “…”
The Demon-Slaying Division of Province C chose such a foolish male college student as Governor?
Has their mind gone bad?
She sized up Chen Huaian’s profile, her heart stirring.
Handsome, truly handsome.
Even if he speaks arrogantly and acts immaturely, his incredible looks cannot be hidden.
She even thought about dumping her fiancé.
Lin Chen finally remembered why she came today, forcibly suppressing her inner turmoil, her eyes narrowing: “Chen Huaian, I am now the genuine Governor authorized by the headquarters of Province C. Your documents were not approved, so from today, you will be my subordinate. I still need a secretary, you can be my secretary!”
“Is it the kind of secretary who works when there’s something to do and ganks when there’s nothing to do?” Chen Huaian asked.
Lin Chen smiled coquettishly, her eyes like silk: “You thinking that way isn’t wrong~”
“No, I disagree.” Chen Huaian’s righteous gaze fell on Lin Chen’s thunder, yet he remained upright, words firm: “I will be the Governor, but you can be my secretary. But rest assured, I won’t gank you.”
What a joke, as long as he was in this position, he would have a constant flow of money.
Experiencing ten billion karmic retribution, Immortal Venerable Chen said those days could never return.
“It’s not up to you whether you agree or not.” Lin Chen pulled out her whip, pointing it at Chen Huaian: “Fight me, if you win, I’ll pay up and leave immediately. If you lose, you become my secretary, and I’ll gank you every day!”
Busy with tasks, killing evil spirits, and cultivating demonic arts, Chen Huaian had no time to compete with this fierce woman for the jungle position. He immediately smiled, preparing to step past her, but Lin Chen blocked him again.
Endless trouble?!
A kind smile appeared on Chen Huaian’s face, his eyes revealing a cold gleam:
“Fine, catch my palm. If you can catch it, you win!”
He had already planned it; later, he would send Lin Chen flying, breaking three more windows, netting him sixty thousand. As for this girl’s strength, based on his feeling, she was just above the Qi Condensation level, with spiritual energy fluctuations, though unstable.
It gave the impression of practicing trash internal skills.
“Kid, are you sure about this calculation?” Lin Chen sensed something unusual from Chen Huaian, but she didn’t think she would lose because she practiced breathing techniques and had abilities.
“Stop dilly-dallying.” Chen Huaian stepped back half a step, the sound of his feet landing on the alloy floor and the buzzing of spiritual energy exploding simultaneously. His palm was half-closed, veins bulging, arcs of lightning struggling like seven snakes pulled from their nests between his fingers.
As soon as the stance was set, pressure flooded the air.
Lin Chen subconsciously met the lightning-flashing eyes, a chill running down her spine, feeling like she was facing a demon.
Her confidence as a General-level vanished instantly.
She couldn’t help but doubt—could she really catch this man’s palm?
But her pride, nurtured since childhood, wouldn’t let her bow her head even if she lacked confidence.
She took a deep breath, lightly bit her lip, ready to accept Chen Huaian’s challenge.
At that moment, a Demon-Slaying Master suddenly appeared at the door, dragging the threshold, his expression anxious:
“Captain Zhao, Governor Chen, something happened in Jinde Town!”
“Jinde Town?” Lin Chen was stunned, looking at the Demon-Slaying Master: “Is it the Jinde Town in Linjiang West?”
“That’s right, it’s there.” The Demon-Slaying Master caught his breath, continuing: “Half a month ago, a batch of perfectly glazed porcelain was unearthed in the kiln site there. Many archaeologists and students flocked there, but yesterday, near the site, all the experts and students disappeared, over three thousand people vanished without a trace!”
“This is clearly an abnormal event! Has anyone been sent to check?” Lin Chen was calm.
After all, the Lin family was nearby in Jinde Town, and there were two Generals in Province J, both from the Lin family—one her cousin and the other her uncle. An abnormal event happening near the Lin family didn’t require panic.
“Province J sent two Generals immediately to investigate, but those two Generals have not been heard from since.”
Lin Chen’s body trembled, her face gradually turning pale.
The Demon-Slaying Master continued: “Now, Province J is requesting support from all Demon-Slayers and Resurrectors across the country.
Because just two hours ago… the residents of Jinde Town started disappearing.”
