Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1536 One Force Can Take Away a God
Sargis leaped toward the inn, making a simple jump from the high-rise building before letting his spiritual fire propel him forward.

In just over ten seconds, he had already seen the hotel's iconic clock tower-like building.

After leaving the city center, his momentum was almost exhausted. He stopped leaping into the air, landed, and stared at the landmark building. He then charged in that direction without hesitation, moving in a straight line.

He didn't care about anything that blocked his way, whether it was vehicles, pedestrians, or shop roadblocks. He crushed and smashed everything in his path, leaving a straight, charred ravine behind him as a violent flash of light swept across the street.

The inn was owned by Togui Temple, which might have made most people hesitant, but he wasn't afraid. He held citizenship in three countries: Jirakkata, Rajika, and Abhiyon.

His employer has a consortium background, and this time he was commissioned by a large company, with many influential figures backing him up.

The inn itself isn't in the city center, which means it's not a major industry. Even if it's damaged, we can just pay some compensation afterward. Are we going to start a war over this? That's absolutely impossible.

Ultimately, Luozhijia was just a small country that had to survive in the cracks. Even with the power of the upper class, the livelihood of the people and the protection of the interests of the upper class still depended on many other forces.

In just a short moment, perhaps only two seconds, or perhaps only one second, he rushed to the vicinity of the inn.

He had already learned the location of the target through the verification of the technicians, and was now heading there at the same speed.

The hotel's security system is connected to the central city. Even an inactive consciousness could determine that if the direction remained unchanged, then they were in the path of the attack. So, the alarm was triggered seven or eight seconds ago.

When the security captain saw the light rushing towards him from afar, he was shocked. He knew he couldn't possibly withstand it. He cursed and dodged to the side, while simultaneously telling everyone to scatter.

As for the clients they are supposed to protect, it's not that they aren't trying their best. If it were an ordinary enemy, they could handle it, but this guy is clearly a fighter. If they go up to stop him, they'll just be cannon fodder and won't change the outcome. So they might as well stay away and let the person being targeted fend for themselves. At worst, they can offer some compensation afterward.

As Sargis saw the people in front of him scattering, a broad, triumphant smile spread across his face.

He loved seeing such scenes. To fight against the strong was a foolish thing to do; it was being able to bully the weak without restraint that gave him a sense of exhilaration.

At that moment, several blurry red figures appeared on the boundary marker. It was the guidance sent by the technician. He leaned forward and approached at lightning speed, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes. He suddenly crashed into it, already imagining the pleasure of crushing those bodies.

However, he will leave one person behind, at least to find out whether the other party has obtained some key items.

But as he approached the place, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He found himself seemingly to have entered a field that made his mind tremble. Power was pressing down on him from all directions, and the originally vigorous spiritual fire around him began to be squeezed out and extinguished.

His body became heavy and sluggish, his strength gradually faded, and his breathing became erratic and rapid.

The root cause of all this is actually a problem with the abnormal tissues inside the body.

They trembled as if they had encountered something of immense terror, causing his vision to go black in waves and his muscles to spasm uncontrollably, which he could not control even by force.

Fortunately, being a fighter, he didn't lose control immediately. He just staggered forward, each step crushing the bricks on the ground. Even so, he still couldn't control his center of gravity and his body leaned forward. He had no choice but to use his hands to support himself and was pushed forward by the force of the impact, crawling all the way until he broke through the door of the bar in front of him.

Immediately, everyone in the bar was astonished to see someone crawl in from outside at an extremely fast speed, only to have their legs give way and collapse to their knees with a thud, leaving a large crack in the ground.

The direction in which he knelt was exactly opposite the position where Chen Chuan was sitting.

Gu Wenqing and the other two involuntarily stood up from their seats, their faces showing vigilance and fear.

Even though the way this person entered seemed bizarre, the destruction he caused along the way and the lingering spiritual fire on his body indicated that he must be a fighter.

Especially at such close range, the mutated tissues and implants of the three people were stimulated to twitch, their scalps tingled, and they even had difficulty breathing.

Chen Chuan's expression remained unchanged. He sat on the sofa, his gaze falling, and calmly asked, "Name?"

Sargis was panting heavily, a great fear rising within him.

In his perception, a colossal figure, as large as a mountain, sat opposite him. The pressure surrounding him could crush him like an insect at any moment, and the gap between them was so vast that he felt despair.

Even if they didn't know Chen Chuan's identity, they could still guess the cultivation level of the person sitting opposite them.

throne!

His body trembled even more violently. His somewhat sluggish mind prevented him from thinking clearly and deeply, but he realized that he must have been involved in the upper echelons of the game; otherwise, there would never have been a fighter of this caliber. He moved his lips and said with difficulty in Da Shun language, "I am Sargis Veracone from the Contec Corporation."

Chen Chuan immediately obtained specific information about the company from Kaiyang.

Nominally, it is a mercenary contracting company under the consortium, specializing in violent activities against business rivals and the theft of trade secrets.

However, this is only on the surface. The company's true situation is far more complex than that, with the shadow of the Chirogado security department within it.

It is particularly worth mentioning that, since Chlorgado was historically a member of Abijon's colonial system and the two sides had a unique relationship, he also had a background with Abijon's intelligence agency.

He continued, "What's the reason you came here?"

Sweating profusely dripped from Sargis's forehead. If he spoke out, it would be a breach of company secrets, but he dared not hide anything now, because he felt that if he said the slightest wrong word, he might be killed here.

Moreover, even if he died, he believed the other party would have a way to extract the necessary information from his mind, so he confessed almost immediately:
"Because my employer is investigating a research institute, which, as far as I know, they believe has high value in what they are researching, but they have discovered that there are people who seem to be researching it as well, and it seems they have gotten ahead of them."

The employer suspected that it was sent by a competitor, so they asked us to find out its origin.

However, our opponents are very difficult to deal with, and we can't find out their specific identities. So we've decided to arrest some of them to find out their origins, or... eliminate them.

Chen Chuan hummed in agreement. He could tell that the man was telling the truth, or at least that was what he knew.

This seems to align with his assessment: the other party wasn't sent by either the Refinement Sect or the Fusion Sect. They were likely also aware of the laboratory and wanted to investigate or steal its secrets.

He then asked, "How much do you know about that research institute?"

Sargis said, "I don't know, I'm just doing what the company tells me to do."

In fact, he himself was not sure which side the instructions came from, after all, the company had multiple identities, and he had no interest in figuring it out.

Chen Chuan said, "Give me all the relevant information you have here."

Without the slightest hesitation, Sargis immediately tapped his boundary token and then transmitted all the data on his side to the other side through a communication signal that suddenly popped up in front of him.

Kaiyang quickly analyzed the information and concluded that 50% of it was true and reliable, while the remaining part was due to the fact that Sagis's level was not high enough and the information he obtained was not comprehensive enough.

After reading it, Chen Chuan said to him, "Go back now, but I hope you know what you should do."

Sages knelt there, filled with unease. Upon hearing this, he felt as if he had been granted a pardon and exclaimed with great joy, "Yes, I know."

The fact that a Throne Fighter is involved in this matter clearly indicates that a national-level force has intervened. Regardless of who wins in the end, he's caught in the middle, and he'll be the first to die. So it's best to pretend that he knows nothing about it.

He tried to stand up, but found that the alienated organization was sluggish under the pressure from the other side. So he simply used both hands and feet to crawl backwards out. Only after reaching the outside of the inn did he gradually recover. He stood up shakily and stumbled away into the distance, feeling both fear and relief.

However, he did not realize that the mutated tissue in his body was slowly dying.

This is because he was under intense field pressure just now, which caused the mutated tissue to lose its normal function.

He can't feel it now because the alienated organization can no longer provide normal feedback. This process may last for several days or even more than ten days, or perhaps longer, but he is destined not to live much longer.

Chen Chuan sat there and pondered for a moment. Since it wasn't the Refinement Faction or the Fusion Faction that had intervened, Huo Zhuifeng's matter shouldn't be that complicated. The inability to contact him before might just be an accident.

Yu Jingjing and Tang Wenzhao both looked at him with awe. Even though they didn't know his background or identity, the fact that a fighter had knelt down so readily in front of him showed that this officer from Zhongjing was probably of an incredibly high level.

Chen Chuan then asked Gu Wenqing, "Mr. Gu, since you communicated through the Falcon, is there anything left behind by the Falcon, or anything related to it?"
