The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert

Chapter 1599 - 1904: Intruders (1)

Ling Chen was taken aback. Although he had only thrown a casual punch without even using half his strength, he was still an expert on the Heavenly List. Even without going all out, this punch was not to be underestimated. The fact that the opponent easily and accurately blocked his attack indicated that this person was also a skilled expert—though it was unclear to what extent his abilities reached.

In a split second, the person had already sensed Ling Chen’s presence. In an instant, a fierce gust of energy rushed toward Ling Chen’s body. Sensing the incoming attack, Ling Chen retracted his arm, unleashing his Inner Strength, and instantly freed his wrist from the opponent’s grip. At the same time, he slightly shifted his step to evade the oncoming attack.

Despite the failed strike, the person showed no sign of giving up, continuing to launch attacks and following the direction of Ling Chen’s movement. By this time, the effects of the smoke bomb had begun to dissipate, and Ling Chen could faintly see the vague silhouette of his opponent.

No doubt about it, this person attacked with incredible speed, delivering five ferocious punches within a second. Not bad! Ling Chen nodded to himself in approval; this person’s strength was formidable enough to be ranked on the Earthly List, possibly within its top five.

How interesting! Who would have thought an assassin organization could recruit an expert of this caliber.

As he pondered, Ling Chen casually reached out, quickly and precisely locking onto the opponent’s fist. Without giving the other a chance to withdraw, Ling Chen swung his arm powerfully, sending the person’s body flying into a nearby wall.

As the smoke cleared, all the enemies who had infiltrated the base came into Ling Chen’s view. A quick glance revealed at least fifteen people, each wearing bulletproof vests and holding various weapons. As Ling Chen spotted the enemies, their gazes simultaneously locked onto him. Their reactions were extremely fast, clearly well-trained, as they surrounded Ling Chen almost instantaneously, all weapons aimed at him.

Seeing this, Ling Chen curled his lips into a smile, showing no intention of evasion. He charged directly into the attack.

With Nine Yang Qiankun Step, Ling Chen moved as swiftly as an eel, nimbly weaving through the crowd. Even though the enemies were numerous, not one could touch the hem of his garment. In the blink of an eye, four enemies had already been struck down by Ling Chen.

Hmph! Ling Chen shook his head slightly; he had thought these opponents were formidable, but from the exchange just now, apart from the first Earthly List expert he encountered, the rest were no match. With his current abilities, even experts from the Tiger List and Dragon List would be like children before him, posing no pressure at all.

Noticing their comrades falling one by one, the remaining opponents finally realized something was wrong.

"Retreat!" The Earthly List expert shouted, making the first dash toward the exit. However, Ling Chen had already taken notice of him and wouldn’t allow him to leave so easily. With a swift slide, Ling Chen turned into a blur, appearing behind the person, placing a hand on his shoulder. When the man turned his head, he was met with a smiling face: "Friend, a guest is a guest. Since you’re here, why be in such a rush to leave? Why not sit down and have a cup of tea?"

Upon hearing Ling Chen’s teasing words, the man’s expression changed, and he spun around with a punch, attempting to drive Ling Chen away. Ling Chen remained unfazed, deploying the Nine Yang Qiankun Step, instantly vanishing from in front of the man and appearing behind him the next second.

"Friend, don’t waste your effort."

The voice startled the man, causing him to quickly flee a few steps, avoiding any close encounter with Ling Chen.

"Who are you?" the man asked coldly, staring at Ling Chen.

Ling Chen paused slightly, looking at the man with interest, "Friend, you don’t even know who I am, yet you dare to cause trouble on my turf. Do you think everyone else in the world is an idiot compared to you? Enough! No more nonsense, order your men to surrender, don’t force me to take action, or you’ll all face dire consequences."

Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, Hu Fei’s voice suddenly came through his earpiece, "Ling Chen, things aren’t looking good, the base’s security system has been hacked.

"Can you fix it?"

"It’s a bit tricky, they’ve already breached the system. Damn! I’ve never encountered such an awesome hacker, breaking through the base’s firewall in just a few minutes."

"Can you maintain normal system operation?"

"Currently, the monitoring system is under their control, but everything else is fine. We’re trying to regain control of the monitoring system."

"Alright, the situation here is under control, just focus on resolving your issues. Don’t worry about anything else." With that, Ling Chen directed his gaze toward the monitoring equipment in the corner. Although the external monitoring had been damaged, the internal systems were still intact. Since hackers had taken control of the base’s monitoring system, they could see everything happening inside. At this moment, someone might be watching him through those monitors.

"Who exactly are you?" Ling Chen shifted his gaze from the monitoring equipment to the man and asked.

The man didn’t respond; instead, he kept staring at Ling Chen. Suddenly, he accelerated fiercely, charging straight at Ling Chen at a breakneck speed, reaching Ling Chen in the blink of an eye. Seeing he was still unwilling to give up, Ling Chen decided to stop holding back. With a shift of his foot, his body charged directly forward, thrusting his right shoulder. In an instant, the opponent’s attack was dismantled, and his body was sent flying once again.

"Friend, give up trying. You are no match for me. Cooperate, and maybe I’ll spare your life."

Slowly, the man got up from the ground, his mouth opening slightly as if he wanted to say something. However, before he could utter a word, he suddenly let out a miserable scream. Then, he clutched his head with both hands, groaning in agony. Not only him but all the intruders were the same, rolling on the ground in torment.

Seeing this, Ling Chen was momentarily stunned, unsure of what had happened. They were fine just moments ago; how did they end up like this suddenly? Just as he pondered, a soft ’bang’ was heard, and an intruder’s head exploded gruesomely.

Observing the intruders’ heads exploding one after another, Ling Chen’s face turned grim. Though he had witnessed many storms, he had never seen such a bloody scene. Soon, all the intruders had become headless corpses, including the Earthly List expert.

Stunned for a moment, Ling Chen finally snapped back to reality, somewhat at a loss as he looked at the corpses scattered everywhere.

"Fatty..."

"Hey! Ling Chen, we’ve regained control of the monitoring system; it seems they left voluntarily."
