Sky-cracking Rider

A mature Bengal tiger posed no threat to Ms. Klaibel, the liaison chief of the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area for the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee. Aside from the two ability users at her side, the railgun weapons in the hands of the armed personnel were enough to shred the beast into pieces in an instant.

"Our agreement didn't include this item. If it wasn't specified beforehand, it's allowed. It's completely reasonable. You can also find someone!"

The executive manager of the Aircrew Base 909, Ximen Temple Kong, wore a face of ridicule, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart.

Revenge for grievances, swift requital for enmity, the heavens have eyes.

Chen Fei pressed down on Chekhov, sizing up the big cat with a teasing tone, "No worries, just a big cat, nothing remarkable. Come on, stand up straight, about-face, march!"

Just playing with a cat for fun!

The Bengal Tiger "Queen Katie" naturally ignored him and stared straight back as if ready to pounce and select a victim at any moment.

The beast tamer, with a dark face, chuckled coldly, "Kid, don't wet your pants later!"

The duty manager of Aircrew Base 911, Mahnam, was sweating profusely. He lowered his voice and said softly, "Both of you, don't talk nonsense!"

His face was ashen, truly infuriated by the bold demands and vulgarity of Aircrew Base 909.

But the other side had brought a B-level supernatural power user. Even if Boss Hana were here, she is just a C-level power user!

Although Mahnam knew Chen Fei was also a power user, he had no idea about Chen's superpower level, and neither did Boss Hana.

Chen Fei's registration as a supernatural power user was conducted locally. Due to certain reasons, some of his personal and family information had been blocked.

Chen Fei and Chekhov looked at each other and rolled their eyes in unison.

Manager Ma, please start your performance!

"10 billion Star Yuan is something we cannot accept!"

With someone from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee present, Manager Mahnam of Aircrew Base 911 immediately straightened his back. The opposing beast tamer's bringing a big tiger to the venue was merely an intimidating bluff. Mahnam wasn't going to fall for it, let alone be frightened.

Manager Ma pounded the table, "You are entirely to blame for this conflict, not us. Why should we pay compensation? There's simply no reason for it."

From the beginning, Aircrew Base 909 had been the one to provoke. Aircrew Base 911 was merely responding defensively, so he argued with righteous indignation.

The executive manager of Aircrew Base 909, Ximen Temple Kong, stood up grinding his teeth, pointing at the side from Aircrew Base 911, furiously saying, "We lost two pilots and over a dozen fighters. How could you possibly be faultless?"

The loser has their logic, a messed-up, blame-shifting situation.

"It serves you right for being weak and overconfident!"

Chekhov Big Bear spoke a harsh truth bluntly.

"Was it you? Was it you who killed our pilots and destroyed our fighters? I... I want you to pay with your life!"

Ximen Temple Kong glared fiercely at Chekhov Big Bear, teeth bared in rage.

"Come on! If you're not convinced, come and hit me!"

Chekhov was particularly good at inciting trouble, having long thrown Manager Ma's warnings, advice, and earnest pleas to some Java Island nobody knew of, thumping his chest and making a challenging boxing pose.

A vile mouth and talent for drawing hate, second to none.

The intent of mediation and negotiation, but from the very start, the venue was already thick with the smell of gunpowder and tension as if an explosion might occur at any moment.

"????"

Chen Fei, quiet and low-key from the start, looked innocent.

"What a bunch of assholes!"

Ms. Klaibel of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, the liaison chief of the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, didn't hide her exasperation as she sighed and made a gesture to the power users behind her.

"Quiet!"

The booming shout caught everyone off guard, making their ears buzz.

"Whew!~"

The Bengal tiger lying on the ground suddenly stood up, its sharp claws digging into the earth, leaving deep marks, its eyes fierce, and fur standing on end like steel needles, baring its teeth at the power user who had shouted.

The venue immediately quieted down, with only the tiger's low, threatening growls remaining.

"Beast tamer, control your tiger!"

The Committee's armed personnel collectively raised their railgun weapons, aiming at the beast tamer and the Bengal tiger, their authority fully permitting them to kill the human and beast before them without consequence. Continue reading at empire

The penetrating power and range of the railgun combat rifles are enough to threaten power users below S-level and strongmen below the Heavenly Order.

Ms. Klaibel said unequivocally, "Everyone calm down!"

She had thought it would be an easy case to mediate, but unexpectedly, both sides were prickly, boxing off the moment they met.

One side asking for the sky, the other retaliating point for point.

Now she wondered whether personally overseeing this mediation was a good idea. Instead, it seemed like she had invited unnecessary trouble.

Perhaps letting the two parties wage a corporate war, fighting each other to death, would have been the right choice.

Also, Aircrew Base 911 was too good at causing trouble. Couldn't they get along with their industry peers?

Manager Mahnam of Aircrew Base 911 quickly gave a slight bow to the liaison chief lady from the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area, "Sorry! Ms. Klaibel, I was too impulsive! Chekhov, hurry up and apologize to Ms. Klaibel."

"My apologies! Madam, your magnanimity is admirable," Chekhov put on a gentleman's face.

Bigger is better, no explanation needed, irrespective of age.

But Mahnam could read between the lines of this Big Bear's words and couldn't help wanting to facepalm.

Couldn't this guy pick a better moment?

He actually dared to flirt with the liaison manager of the Global United Defense Committee!

Chen Fei also felt that Big Bear was on the verge of suicide with his bold provocations. He simply couldn't rein in this guy—a ten-headed Giant Dragon wouldn't be able to drag him back. He was pushing it too far!

"Uh-huh-huh-huh, you really have a way with words."

Ms. Klaibel couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, then she gradually stopped smiling and turned to the people from Aircrew Base 909, saying, "Don't you have anything you'd like to say?"

"It's their fault!"

The executive manager of Aircrew Base 909, Ximen Temple Kong, pointed at the three people from Aircrew Base 911 without any hesitation.

"I think you want to die!"

Chekhov's fists cracked with a snapping sound.

This time, Manager Mahnam didn't stop him.

Even a clay Buddha has some fire, and to avoid causing Boss Hanna any trouble, he had been continuously forbearing. However, the other party kept overstepping their bounds. Did they really think Jiu Defense Company and Aircrew Base 911 were pushovers?

"Murderer! You're the murderer! A life for a life, you deserve to die!"

Ximen Temple Kong's face twisted as he pointed directly at Chekhov.

Chekhov and Chen Fei stood together, and it was clear who the bad guy was.

Thump! Chekhov smashed a wine bottle, "Come here, let's have a chat, play a game of truth or dare..."

"Hey, umm..."

The obedient baby, Chen Fei, raised his right hand, just like a student asking to speak in class.

"Everyone quiet down a bit and let this young man speak."

Ms. Klaibel seemed rather fond of this quiet young man who still had a student vibe, unlike the others who were yelling and giving her a headache.

Everyone looked over in unison, waiting for Chen Fei to continue.

"I killed the man, I slashed the plane, that's that. Chekhov is innocent!"

A real cruel person isn't big on words.

Chekhov was just a big scapegoat.

"You! It was you?"

Ximen Temple Kong looked unbelievingly up and down at the seemingly harmless young man.

"Ah! Yes, it was me!"

Chen Fei pointed at himself with no guilt whatsoever.

Taking out an entire MiG squadron and a dozen or so combat aircraft on the ground, he didn't feel the slightest bit of psychological burden; on the contrary, he felt it was only natural.

When you float in Jianghu, how can you not get knifed? Today I hack you, tomorrow I get hacked. If you mix in with military contractors, you've got to be prepared to have your head hung on your belt.

Not everyone has the chance to start with the ultimate death play of an Evil Dragon.

If not for the timely rescue, and a costly magic potion competing with Lord Yama for his life, Chen Fei would have truly died.

They say there's great terror between life and death, but once your eyes close, you're gone, nothing else to it. Whether hero or scoundrel, both are insignificant in the face of death.

Ximen Temple Kong's reaction was strange. Instead, he exchanged a look with the Psychic Series B-level supernatural power user, Beast Tamer Jacob Felix, without saying anything more, and sat down quietly.

System: Ding! For killing the Bengal Tiger "Queen Katie," you receive +100 Energy Points!

Damn!

Chen Fei happened to agree with the Dog System, this task really did come at the right time.

1 Energy Point represents 1 ton of metal; 100 Energy Points, whether exchanged for skills or used for anything else, are extremely useful.

He smiled very amiably at the Beast Tamer sitting across the negotiation table from him.

The latter's mouth corner lifted slightly in a silent sneer.

Although the mediation site fell quiet for the moment and everyone seemed ready to start the formal negotiations amicably, the atmosphere turned peculiar, as if there was a thorn on everyone's back, making everyone uncomfortable.

"The current situation is, Base 909 wants Base 911 to compensate 10 billion Star Yuans, and Base 911 disagrees, correct?"

Ms. Klaibel of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee from the Xingdu Kush Mountain Area decided to intervene proactively. She couldn't let the parties continue to act unrestrainedly any longer; otherwise, there would be no outcome to this negotiation, and it would only escalate the conflict further.

Ms. Klaibel's statement was based on facts, without taking any sides. Both base managers nodded in agreement.

"So let's get the full picture of how this conflict unfolded clear."

It's not easy to be completely fair and balanced. Ms. Klaibel wouldn't speak for either side, she would only lay out the truth in front of everyone, leaving no room for any ulterior motives.

To pull one billion out of thin air just by moving one's lips—wishful thinking!

Ximen Temple Kong and Mahnam once again nodded together, not even being able to tolerate this remark, thinking it was useless to mediate, better to just start fighting!

"What I want to ask is, where did this conflict take place, and who fired the first shot?"
