Chapter 566 - Hong Lies Thoughts (2/2)

A scientist was an occupation many ordinary people strived for.

Although they would not be as unscrupulous as the life of an apt.i.tude user, it was a lucrative job and if they were recognized then they would be living a good life.

What was more was that this job had the lowest chance of getting randomly killed by people!

By now, Qin Feng’s laboratory had expanded exponentially, there was even a small bas.e.m.e.nt that functioned as an underground research level.

Besides researching mutants, it was also where machinery was being engineered.

“How goes the advanced C-tier beast king experiments?”

“We’re still at a 50% risk factor. We don’t have enough data and we can’t do live experimentation!” The head scientist had been changed recently but that was not important.

“Don’t even think about keeping live specimens!” Qin Feng said in a serious tone. “We’re different from the Dark Coalition. If you want data then I’ll go out and find some for you. Until then, just do your best!”

“Yes, President, Sir!”

Qin Feng went on to inspect the mechanical research wing and introduce to the scientists there the technology that he had picked up while he was in the Perished Lands for them to research on before leaving.

After that, he called his contacts in the Dragon Capital to look for another piece of information.

The Z Organization!

“Back then, I couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Z Organization. Could it be because I knew too little?”

After being reborn as a prodigy, Qin Feng learned that the results of being in a different circle of apt.i.tude users were vast.

Like the Dragon Gate Tower. Without the status of being a prodigy, you could not enter at all and if you missed it then you would have missed a once in a lifetime chance.

Now he had contacts with all kinds of people of different families in the Dragon Capital. The personal network management made things very efficient.

Information took time, so all he could do now was just wait patiently!

***

On the third day after Qin Feng returned to Fengli City, the news of Tian Yan’s death had been confirmed by Wen Hai and pa.s.sed into Hong Lie’s ears, a B-tier apt.i.tude user.

“What? You say it’s Qin Feng?”

The president of the Red Sun Corp rapidly blinked his eyes when he heard the news from Wen Hai.

Although he had not been in Beihua City for a long time due to him clearing ultra beasts on the battlefield but since he was B-tier he would eventually end up knowing things that people of his caliber would naturally know.

Wei Hai did not know what was riling up Hong Lie so much but he bit the bullet and said, “Yes, it’s him!”

“Ridiculous!” Hong Lie said angrily, “He’s a prodigy, a prodigy that made it past the Dragon Gate Tower. Do you know what that means?”

“Sir, we, we just thought that he might be dead and even if he wasn’t dead, it was just to get a few things. Who would have thought that he would personally return and kill Tian Yan!”

“Bullsh*t, he’s the president of Fengli. You pull someone’s legs, wouldn’t they kick back? If someone tried to touch you, you think I’d just stand by and watch?”

Wei Hai was still completely oblivious and remarked, “Sir, how can he compare to you? He’s just a C-tier of some backwater state!”

“Shortsighted!” Hong Lie angrily yelled but realized that there were things that he could not tell his subordinate. Such as the fact that while Qin Feng was C-tier, he could still kill B-tiers.

“You don’t need to follow up on this matter anymore, I’ll handle this myself! Remember, don’t try to act smart otherwise in the end you wouldn’t even find out how you died!”

Once he was done talking, Hong Lie used his contacts to seek out Qin Feng so he could make reconciliation.
