Chapter 712 - A Crimson Ligh (2/2)

Those fuzzy images and videos when coupled with detailed witness accounts provided an almost complete picture of Chen Fan’s achievements over the last five years, many of which were censored by the governments around the world until then.

In January, 2009, Chen Fan defeated the Fourteenth Brigade in j.a.pan.

In March, 2010, Chen Fan defeated the Infantry Division 116 in Russia and killed a Lieutenant General.

In November, 2011, Chen Fan annihilated the Black Sea Fleet and downed over a dozen fighter jets from the European Union.

When those individual dots were joined together, people finally started to see the common denominator in these events.

By then, Chen Fan could no longer hide his true ident.i.ty from the world.

“Is it for real? Can a twenty two year old young man do that? He defeated the European Union, Russia, and j.a.pan, now he is taking on the United States?”

“What about the Dark World, the Blood Race and the Blood Wolf? Are you sure those are real?”

“Superpower Chen? Heavenly Chen? Curmudgeon Chen? What kind of names are those?”

Many people on the internet voice their questions.

However, if those events weren’t real, how could they explain what was happening then? As the people came to terms with their discoveries, many girls quickly found themselves enthralled by Chen Fan.

“Fang Qiong is the luckiest girl in the world. If only I had a boyfriend who would start a war against the world just for me. ”

Infatuation aside, many people still found it hard to believe and so they focused their attention on Chen Fan and the United States, patiently waiting for Chen Fan’s next move.

Supreme Court. Was.h.i.+ngton State, USA.

Standing next to the American Parliament was the Supreme Court building. Sixteen enormous marble columns supported its roof and its entrance was flanked by two statues, representing law and order. The air inside was heavy with solemnity.

Nine a.s.sociate Judges of the Supreme Court sat in high chairs, as they went over Fang Qiong’s case.

Inside the room, they were the G.o.ds and their words the bible. Not even the president could revoke their decision, much less anyone else.

The chief a.s.sociate Judge, Susan Lean was in a good mood.

She studied Fang Qiong with a smirk, as if she were a poor little critter that fell into her trap.

Fang Qiong had denied all the allegations, and insisted that she was innocent. However, as the evidence and witnesses were presented to the court one after another, her heinous crime became apparent to the jury.

“Miss Fang Qiong, you must know how weak and pathetic your defense is. With all this evidence against you, we can put you behind bars even without your confession. Don’t worry, we will have your pretty little boyfriend too, so that you two can have a reunion in jail.”

Susan Lean grinned.

“I am innocent, and so is he!”

Fang Qiong held her chin up, looking as strong and defiant as ever.

Susan Lean thinned her lips into a smile and kept her silence. She ordered the court to proceed with the rest of the hearing.

It wasn’t long before Susan Lean found out that something was amiss in the air. There was a noticeable disturbance among the crowd and many people were staring at their cell phone screens with shock and disbelief.

“Order!”

Susan Lean hit the block with the gavel heavily.

This was the most high profile case she would ever get her hands on, so no disturbances would be tolerated.

However, people seemed to be ignoring her, and the quiet murmur had grown into an open discussion.

“What the heck?”

Even as Susan Lean wondered what was going on, the courtroom gate was pushed open and a group of men in black suits stormed in. Susan Lean recognized the person leading the group, it was the CIA Director. Why is he here?

The Director came up to the Judge sitting at the head of the table and whispered something into his ears.

The judge’s face paled almost instantly.

“What’s going on Lorent?” Susan Lean asked with a scowl.

Judge Lorent squeezed out a smile and said, “Your honor, let’s call it a day. Something… big has happened.”

“What? What would be more important than this trial?” Susan Lean asked indignantly.

“Her… her fiancé is here,” Judge Lorent replied disheartenedly.

“So what? Even the president of the United States has to follow my rules in this room. No one can save her now, not even G.o.d,” Susan Lean hissed.

Suddenly, she heard screams outside the window.

Susan Lean furrowed her brow and looked towards the commotion. She saw something that she would never forget.

The formerly cloudless sky had been covered with crimson clouds. She looked closer and realized that those weren’t clouds at all; it was fire. The entire sky was on fire.

A crimson light traced an arc across the firmament and landed at the Was.h.i.+ngton State.

Chen Fan had arrived!
