Chapter 53: Fang Tianhe Makes a Move

Fang Tianhe opened his wrist computer and glanced at it, his gaze narrowing slightly.

The name noted in the information bar was Roger. Of course he knew that Roger’s wrist computer had been lent to Lin Xinghai.

The reason Lin Xinghai borrowed the wrist computer in the first place was to guard against unexpected events.

He immediately opened the message to check it. A video popped up first.

The video was not long, ending in just three minutes, but that was more than enough for him to clearly understand what had happened.

Beneath the video was a text message left by Lin Xinghai.

"About to enter the Public Security Bureau, but I noticed Huai Feifu's expression. Far from showing panic or anxiety, he actually seemed somewhat eager."

"Moreover, on the way to the Public Security Bureau, I noticed him conversing in low tones with the escort personnel several times. There might be twists and turns, hoping you can send people over."

He was not the only one who received this message; Shen Han, Wu Yan, and Xu Haishui had also received it, and by this time they had finished reading it.

"Boss, let me take a few brothers and go there!" Wu Yan spoke up at this moment.

Fang Tianhe did not give an immediate answer, instead looking at Shen Han beside him.

The two of them were so familiar with each other that Shen Han naturally understood what he meant. She immediately opened her wrist computer, retrieved the database, and typed in keywords to search.

Very quickly, she found what she was looking for.

"The current Chief of the Public Security Bureau, Michael, entered the Star Shield Refuge three years ago and was directly parachuted into the position of Bureau Chief through the influence of the Morgan Consortium."

"During his tenure, the complaint rate of the Public Security Bureau has skyrocketed, but with the Morgan Consortium's influence backing him, he has only ever received nominal reprimands and written a few self-criticisms."

"With so many gangs in the lower district nowadays, it really cannot be separated from him. The possibility of him knowing Huai Feifu is extremely high," Shen Han concluded.

"In that case, I'll go there personally!" Fang Tianhe said.

Wu Yan: "I'm going too!"

Xu Haishui: "Boss, take me with you."

"Since we're idle anyway, it doesn't hurt for all of us to go. At the same time, send word to Roger that he doesn't need to keep watching the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, and casually ask if he wants to come along," Fang Tianhe said.

"We might be able to make use of this incident," Shen Han said at this moment.

"Huh?" Fang Tianhe looked at Shen Han, waiting for her to continue.

"This time we brought back such a massive amount of energy crystals. Even if confidentiality measures were taken during the handover, it is almost impossible to completely hide it from the Morgan Consortium."

"Even the profile of our mercenary corps has probably already been placed on the desk of their manager."

"In short, since we have already chosen a side, there is not so much to be scrupulous about anymore."

"Right now, the struggle between the Morgan Consortium and the higher-ups of the refuge is almost moving from the shadows into the light. The higher-ups would undoubtedly be very willing to see someone from the Morgan Consortium make a mistake."

Hearing this, Fang Tianhe already somewhat understood what Shen Han was trying to say. "You mean, you want me to leak this matter to the top leader?"

"Yes!" Shen Han nodded.

"What if we analyzed this wrong, and Michael really handles things impartially according to the law? What should we do?" Fang Tianhe frowned and said.

"What of it? If we guess right, pulling the other party down from the position of Bureau Chief will be our merit. If we guess wrong, it will still make the higher-ups understand our stance," Shen Han said.

"Alright! Then let's do it!" Fang Tianhe nodded.

A moment later, Fang Tianhe sent a private message to the top leader, and then led a group of mercenaries away from their base camp, heading grandly toward the lower district.

As for their full-scale mobilization, the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, who had been monitoring them all along, immediately got the news.

Qiu Taifei, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, immediately led his team out to block them.

...

"Yo! What a coincidence." At the elevator shaft leading to the lower district, Qiu Taifei looked at the approaching members of the Heaven-Rending Mercenary Corps and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

"Everyone knows the truth about the Axe Gang's affair. Aren't you tired of pretending like this?" Fang Tianhe sneered.

The reputation of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps was anything but good. They frequently used underhanded methods to suppress competitors, and there were even rumors of them robbing other black-market factions.

Among all these things, the one that brought them the greatest income was the tribute paid by the Axe Gang.

The Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps had been established later than the Heaven-Rending Mercenary Corps, but under the sustenance of the Axe Gang, they had managed to become a Tier 2 mercenary corps even faster.

One could say that the Axe Gang was their cornucopia, and naturally, they would spare no effort in coming to their rescue.

However, no matter how much they helped the Axe Gang, such matters could never be brought out into the open.

"I don't know what you're talking about, and I've never heard of any Axe Gang," Qiu Taifei said in a flat tone.

"Fine! It doesn't matter if you pretend not to know." Too lazy to bicker with the other party, Fang Tianhe headed toward the elevator shaft.

However, Qiu Taifei, leading his subordinates, completely blocked the entrance and exit of the elevator shaft.

"Step aside!" Fang Tianhe walked up to him, his tone turning cold.

"This elevator shaft is currently in use by our Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps. If you want to use one, go find another elevator shaft." Qiu Taifei's tone was also less than pleasant. Right now, truly no Tier 1 mercenary corps dared to speak to him like this.

If they were outside the refuge, he would have already taken action to teach the other party a lesson.

Fang Tianhe did not waste words with him and continued forward, his burly frame directly slamming into Qiu Taifei.

Seeing that the other party really refused to give him any face, a trace of anger flashed obviously across Qiu Taifei's face, and he directly reached out to grab Fang Tianhe's neck.

Seeing the other party make a move, Fang Tianhe also threw a direct punch straight at the bridge of the other's nose.

Qiu Taifei was truly angered this time, and he directly unleashed his supernatural ability, transforming into a werewolf.

That was correct, his ability was also werewolf transformation.

However, even among werewolf transformation abilities, there were differences. When Xu Haishui executed the werewolf transformation, his physical body was enhanced in all aspects.

Meanwhile, Qiu Taifei's werewolf transformation primarily boosted his strength.

His arms visibly swelled, and wolf claws sprouted from his finger joints.

Seeing this, Fang Tianhe naturally unleashed his Heaven-Rending ability as well, his entire fist wrapped in a layer of black light.

Boom!

A fist and a palm collided in mid-air, producing a thunderous explosion—the shockwave caused by the clash of energy between two supernatural abilities.

The very instant they collided, Qiu Taifei's expression changed.

His genetic optimization degree had already reached 95%, and he was a strength-type genetic optimizer to boot, coupled with the amplification of his ability. In such a head-on collision, he had truly never feared anyone before.

Yet at this moment, the terrifying energy erupting from Fang Tianhe's fist almost fractured the bones in his hand.

The collision between the two parted as quickly as it touched. There were a few bloody claw marks scraped onto Fang Tianhe's fist, while Qiu Taifei took a step back, making them look evenly matched.

In reality, however, only Qiu Taifei himself knew that his palm was already mangled into a bloody mess; it was just that under the cover of the wolf fur after his transformation, it could not be seen for the time being.
