Chapter 93 Arrogance (II)
“Do you know which faction did it?” Chen Yiming asked.
“I asked a friend about it. It’s said that the Flying Scorpion Sect in the south of the city has announced that no one from the detective industry is allowed to join our company,” Wei Chaoyuan said in a low voice.
“Is the Flying Scorpion Sect under the Tongbeiquan School?” Chen Yiming asked again. Recently, he had offended the Tongbeiquan School quite a bit.
“I’m not sure either. Do you want me to find out more about the situation from my friends?” Wei Chaoyuan asked.
“No need. Stay in the company and wait for my news.” Chen Yiming stood up and walked out of the shop.
At the same time, in the hall of the Flying Scorpion Sect’s encampment, the chief, Zhou Weidong, sat at the head of the table with a dark expression as he listened to the reports from the three deputy chiefs.
For some reason, he felt a tightness in his chest and could not breathe properly.
Zhou Weidong had practiced martial arts for more than 20 years and had undergone seven transformations. Ever since he became friends with the eldest senior brother of the Tongbeiquan School, Wu Yunsheng, three years ago, the development of the sect had been smooth sailing.
However, there was bound to be a price to pay. The Flying Scorpion Sect was getting more and more involved with the Tongbeiquan School’s matters. Although they were not openly affiliated with the Tongbeiquan School, it was basically as though that was the case.
Wu Yunsheng had asked him to suppress the Yiming Detective Agency. Although he was unwilling to get involved, he eventually nodded and agreed to it.
“Chief, today, we sent some people to beat up the two detectives who had just joined the Yiming Detective Agency.
The people we sent out have just sent back the news that the two detectives have already packed their belongings and quit the company. What should we do next?” one of the deputy chiefs, Yan Yunhong, asked.
“Don’t act rashly. Just keep an eye on the Yiming Detective Agency and wait for my next order,” Zhou Weidong said in a low voice.
“Got it,” Yan Yunhong replied.
“Chief, I have a question. What if Chen Yiming secretly attacks us deputy chiefs? How should we deal with him?” another deputy chief, Zhu Huicheng, asked worriedly.
Zhou Weidong was silent for a moment before saying, “Stay in the city for the time being. It’s best if you stay at home in the city center. I don’t believe Chen Yiming will dare to make a move in the city openly.”
The city was different from the wilderness. There were laws and regulations that restricted the moves of martial arts practitioners.
Martial arts practitioners could fight in private, but they were not allowed to kill anyone in public. Anyone who openly challenged the law would either have to escape to the wilderness or be captured and imprisoned by the city guards.
Although the deputy chiefs of the Flying Scorpion Sect had only undergone five transformations, under normal circumstances, as long as they were prepared, they would not be assassinated without even being able to react.
Zhou Weidong had dared to accept this job because he was betting that Chen Yiming wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, and he also wouldn’t dare to openly attack his deputy chiefs.
After all, the city center was at the core of East Lake City. The city guards there were not just for show.
“Chief, if there’s nothing else, we’ll go back first.” The three deputy chiefs bade their chief farewell.
“Alright, be careful on the way back.” Zhou Weidong waved his hand, indicating that the three of them could leave.
Hearing this, the three deputy chiefs turned around and walked towards the door. Just as they reached the door, someone blocked their way.
It was Chen Yiming, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Chen Yiming looked at the three deputy chiefs and Zhou Weidong, who was sitting at the head of the table. The higher-ups of the Flying Scorpion Sect were all present, which saved him a lot of time.
All three of the deputy chiefs were strong and muscular. Because they had been involved in fights between the sects for many years, each of their auras carried a hint of killing intent.
Zhou Weidong, who was sitting at the head of the table, had a fierce glint in his eyes. There was a green dragon tattoo on his right arm, and a large saber was placed on the table beside him. His entire body emitted a fierce
aura.
“I’m the chief of the Flying Scorpion Sect, Zhou Weidong. May I ask why you have come to visit so suddenly?” Zhou Weidong pretended not to know anything and got up from his seat.
“Not only were the two detectives from my company injured by Chief Zhou’s subordinates for no reason, but they were also forced to resign. They even said that no one in the detective industry is allowed to work in my company,” Chen Yiming said bluntly.
When Zhou Weidong heard this, he pretended to be shocked and asked Yan Yunhong, “Deputy Chief Yan, what’s going on? Is what he said true?”
“Chief, I don’t know about the others, but I guarantee that my subordinates have not done anything like this,” Yan Yunhong swore as he patted his chest.
Zhou Weidong looked at the other two deputy chiefs.
“We have also never heard of this matter, and can guarantee that our subordinates have not done such a thing,” the two deputy chiefs swore as well.
“Is there some kind of misunderstanding? It’s very likely that another sect did this to frame the Flying Scorpion Sect,” Zhou Weidong said calmly.
He and the other party had both undergone seven transformations, and this place was the base of the Flying Scorpion Sect.
As long as he refused to admit it, Chen Yiming wouldn’t dare to make a move here. After all, even a swarm of ants could defeat a single elephant.
As long as he could get rid of Chen Yiming today and make suitable arrangements for his deputy chiefs, he would have plenty of ways to deal with Chen Yiming later.
“You won’t admit to it, will you?” Chen Yiming asked calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he used his feet to push against the ground. A small hole immediately appeared in the concrete ground, and he directly charged towards the three deputy chiefs.
Although he did not use any internal force or any sword technique, and even suppressed the enhancement from the Level-1 Undying Body talent, his speed still exceeded the expectations of Zhou Weidong and the three deputy chiefs. “Crack…”
The sound of bones breaking could be heard.
The three deputy chiefs felt their vision blur. Chen Yiming had already returned to his original position. Following that, they felt a sharp pain from their calves.
“Ah!” The three deputy chiefs wailed and fell to their knees. Then, they rolled around while hugging their broken legs tightly.
Their cries alarmed the sect members outside. Immediately, a group of people barged into the hall to check on the situation.
“Chief…” Seeing this, the sect member at the front swallowed his words.
The sect members who had entered stopped a few meters away. The sect members in front wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the people behind them.
The sect members at the back felt that they were safe for now with the people in front of them blocking the way. They did not dare to take the lead and escape, afraid that they would be punished later.
“What do you mean by this? This is not the wilderness. If you dare to kill anyone, I will immediately go to the city guards to report you,” Zhou Weidong said through gritted teeth. His expression had turned ugly.
He had heard that the other party had also undergone seven transformations like him, but he had practiced martial arts for more than 20 years to obtain his current strength. The other party had only used less than a year, and their talents were on completely different levels.
When the other party appeared in front of him in person, his calm and collected appearance made him lose his confidence.
Chen Yiming glanced at Zhou Weidong.
The other party refused to admit it, but he did not dare to make a move. He could only use the city guards to warn him. He did not seem to have the ferocity befitting a sect member.
The dragon tattoo on his hand was a stark contrast to his opponent’s current appearance. It was extremely laughable.
