Chapter 294 - Covert Operation Unit of Samsung (2/2)
Chen Fan flicked a finger and remembered Lee Hyun-bin’s gaze on Fang Qiong’s face. The promise of blood and killing brought a cold smile on his face.
Yu Qin remained quiet and kept her thoughts to herself.
She knew Chen Fan well and had registered Chen Fan’s deadly intent to kill.
Afterward, Yu Qin briefed Chen Fan about other unsavory individuals that had been lurking behind the scenes. Chen Fan was taken by surprise to see the amount of elite martial artists and Extraordinary Ones hiding in plain sight in Jin City.
Yu Qin spent some time telling Chen Fan about the leader of the Dark Totem: Theseus, the Phantom.
The intel showed that Aid International had spent three billion to mobilize nearly half of the Dark Totem. Not only were they going to avenge Jason, but they were also going to steal the secret of the Vitality Serum.
“Theseus was the most powerful of them all and his power was recognized by the international underground world. He was listed as the second most powerful man in the world, right after you. He had awakened the Shadow force inside of him and could control shadows. That ability had made him the most feared a.s.sa.s.sin in the world.” Yu Qin said as concern flickered in her eyes.
“Don’t worry. You can let me handle them while you make sure about the safety of my family.” Chen Fan cracked a smile and said.
Chen Fan had foreseen the coming of the Dark Totem ever since he killed Jason.
The Aid International also rubbed Chen Fan the wrong way. They had faked cooperation during the research, but as soon as they saw the profit in the miraculous serum, they revealed their true colors, and eager to gobble up the prize entirely.
Like Jason said, the pharmaceutical world was a dog-eat-dog world. The powerful companies were always hungry for new profit and new markets, and would never sit around and let the others claim the lion’s share. They might be afraid of Chen Beixuan’s name and his power at first but when they grew more comfortable, they would become restless. There were over trillions of profit at stake, and they would even wage a war with a nation for it much less getting rid of a teenage boy.
“You can be rea.s.sured. We have upgraded your family member’s security rating to SS and havd dispatched Cang Dragon unit to protect them.” Yu Qin said confidently.
Chen Fan nodded.
Securing his family’s safety was one of his top priorities while he negotiated with the military.
Powerful as he was, he could not stay with his family and protect them all the time. If anyone sent a Grandmaster-level a.s.sa.s.sin to harm his family, Chen Fan would not respond in time. The protection jade talisman could save their lives once or twice, but not forever. However, the involvement of the government forces should deter most of the a.s.sa.s.sination attempts.
“There are also some agents of the Hong Sect in the city. Our source in North America told us that the Hong Sect had dispatched their Dark Moon unit.” Yu Qin said seriously. “The Dark Moon of Hong Sect had the same reputation as Samsung’s Covert Operation Unit for its deadliness. Each member of the unit is an elite martial artist and a master of all kinds of weapons. They were lead by three underbosses, one of them is Thunder King, Zoro.”
“Hong Sect is going to take advantage of the situation.”
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
Samsung’s Covert Operation Unit, Dark Totem, Dark Moon of Hong Sect… so many powerful forces converged at Jin City where they conspired and plotted against him. Alongside them were spies and agents of powerful nations such as Russia and America.
The amount of attention attracted by the Vitality Serum had far exceeded Chen Fan’s expectations.
He had thought that the mortals on earth should have discovered the implication of using the Vitality Serum after a few decades. However, he had underestimated the mortal’s greed, what extent to which mortals would go for profit. The serum’s purported effect of improving man’s s.e.xual prowess would also make it extremely sought after in the market, making it even more valuable.
v.i.a.g.r.a had racked in over billions of profit each year for the company that invented it, and the effect of the Vitality Serum was a few times more potent than v.i.a.g.r.a, therefore, it would be even more successful and profitable.
If the inventor of the serum was not Chen Fan, the Chinese government would have already taken over the Laboratory For Future Life Science and claimed everything for itself.
The Chinese government had not done that because they feared the ire of the most powerful Grandmaster in the world. Chen Fan had put his power on full display many times, so the government knew he was not just a charlatan. Plus, Li Wuchen and other benefactors of Chen Fan inside the government must have vouched for Chen Fan’s peaceful nature. Otherwise, the government would never tolerate Chen Fan’s existence and his possession of a valuable a.s.set.
“Influence is as important as a personal strength. Without it, I would never be able to negotiate peacefully with such a mighty nation.”
Chen Fan exclaimed.
When he has just reborn back into his life as a high school student, the military headquarters would simply brush off his requests, and there would be no negotiations. Chen Fan was aware that it was his influence and strength that had brought the military to the bargaining table, not the Vitality Serum. One day, when he had finally reached Connate Spirit and gained Golden Core, even the American President would have to kowtow to him.
After he had ironed out some details about the ma.s.s production of the serum, Chen Fan was ready to go. Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught a few words on a piece of paper presented by Yu Qin.
“She is here too? Is she here for the Vitality Serum?”
On the paper was a line of j.a.panese Kanji Characters and it read: Yukis.h.i.+ro Sa
