Chapter 263: Who Are They?

He would have to pass through the World Tower square to get to the Tiansheng Group’s headquarters.
Wang Wen noticed a figure hiding in a corner as they approached the portal.
He patted his forehead as if he had just woken up from a dream.
However, he touched a wound that was about to heal. Wang Wen grinned in pain and took a few steps to the side to reach Xiao Liu in the corner.
Wang Wen was the leader of everyone present. They followed him wherever he went.
Xiao Liu, who was hiding in a corner, suddenly found many people in front of him.
He trembled in fear and looked at Wang Wen in a daze.
Wang Wen noticed that he shook visibly, so he tried to appear more approachable. “Manager Liu, I am sorry I was delayed by something,” he said softly. “We can’t eat dinner tonight. You mentioned that you wanted to talk to me about something, but I will be busy later. Why don’t we talk right now?”
He turned around and shouted to the people behind him, “Everyone, please wait a moment. I have to speak to him.”
Xiao Liu watched as the group told Wang Wen to take his time, then turned around and ordered people to investigate his identity.
How could he dare to delay?
Even Deputy Chief Jiang, who was the worst off in that group, was an elite in the guard department.
Even the company he worked for would not want to offend him.
Let alone an insignificant employee like him.
He used all his strength.
He controlled his trembling body.
His face revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He bowed slightly to Wang Wen and said, “Director Cheng wanted me to pass on a message to you. He’s very satisfied and wishes you happiness.”
Wang Wen was stunned.
Satisfied?
Happiness?
What?
He turned his head to look at Cheng Qiaoyi, whose face was red but whose eyes were as bright as stars.
Then he turned around and looked at Xiao Liu, the manager who was attempting to please him.
He understood then.
“I believe your father misinterpreted our relationship,” he told Cheng Qiaoyi.
“We’re just friends, not a couple, right?”
Cheng Qiaoyi’s eyes darkened slightly after hearing that.
Then she rolled her eyes, waved her hand, and said with a smile, “Who cares?”
Wang Wen was speechless. “Did you only hear half a sentence again?”
Chen Hansheng’s phone rang.
He picked up the call.
“Boss, we can’t stop him. He started to break through the encirclement after receiving a call. He’s going to the teleportation gate at the World Tower square!”
Chen Hansheng wiped the sweat off his forehead. “Hang in there. We’ll be there soon!”
The other party was speechless.
“After tonight, everyone who hasn’t retreated will have their benefits doubled!”
“Alright, Boss, we’ll do our best!”
Before hanging up the phone, he could still vaguely hear angry shouts from the other end.
Wang We looked at Chen Hansheng’s almost-pleading eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and no longer bothered with Xiao Liu and Cheng Qiaoyi.
He led the group into the portal.
They had arrived at the World Tower square.
They had just walked out of the teleportation gate.
He saw flames in front of him, lighting up the night.
They heard numerous explosions.
Wang Wen took off into the sky to investigate.
The battlefield’s front lines were clearly divided into two camps.
Behind cover, one group resisted tenaciously.
One group used cars to block and surround them on the road.
Both sides were fighting for their lives, and no one was giving up.
Further away, two rows of tanks and armored vehicles were attacking each other as if they were on fire.
He could not see Qin Dongbei’s figure in the air clearly.
Wang Wen landed on the ground and joined the rest of the team.
A young man in cotton pajamas noticed Chen Hansheng and ran over to inform him of the situation.
Judging from the voice, it should be the person on the phone.
Chen Hansheng finished listening to the other party’s report.
He turned to Wang Wen and said, “Qin Dongbei’s transcendent skill seems to be on cooldown. He’s hiding behind cover and waiting to recover. I don’t know what he promised. The tower climbers from the Tiansheng Group are fighting with no regard for their lives.”
Wang Wen nodded.
He told everyone to wait.
He then led Zhu Xingguo, Ren Ruoruo, and the other man to the battlefield’s center.
Cheng Qiaoyi was sensible and did not follow him. She stared at Xiao Liu, who was reporting to Director Cheng, and she would glare at him fiercely if he said a single word out of line.
Not long after that…
Wang Wen and the other two arrived at the place where Qin Dongbei was hiding.
He removed the people wanting to attack him with just a wave of his hand.
The battlefield, which had been the most violent, fell silent instantly.
The tower climbers watched as the fierce firepower vanished in a cloud of blood mist.
They all stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what to do.
The situation had changed too quickly.
They did not have time to react to their side’s seeming to be winning.
Some relatively powerful Boai Group tower climbers whispered to each other, “Who are those people over there? They’re able to silence the enemy as soon as they make their move. Has Captain Mi and the others arrived?”
“It was not me,” Mi Lailai said, appearing beside them with an expressionless face.
The tower climbers were so frightened that they almost threw the relics or mechanisms on themselves.
The elite four members began to assist their injured teammates.
Mi Lailai could not care less about them. Her eyes were fixed on Wang Wen’s back.
At the front…
After Wang Wen stopped those Tiansheng Group tower climbers, he shouted toward the bunker, “Old Qin, come out now. It wouldn’t look good if I were to help you.”
As he spoke…
He gave a discreet look toward Zhu Xingguo and Ren Ruoruo.
Ren Ruoruo nodded and took a deep breath. Then she put a Life Lock on her body.
Using the effect of the Great Sage, she turned herself into many tiny mosquitoes.
They flew into cover with a buzzing sound.
Qin Dongbei seemed to have realized the seriousness of the situation. He became extremely calm and sneaky, but he did not open his mouth to reveal his position.
Wang Wen had no choice but to use his mental power to push toward his hiding place.
When the bunker fell to the ground, it triggered a series of explosions.
Those explosions were all directional, and it was obvious that someone had set up a trap.
The flame’s heat and shock waves hit the transparent barrier in front of Wang Wen.
If it were not for the fact that there was a certain distance between spiritual power control…
Wang Wen might not even have the time to channel his mental power to strengthen the barrier.
The physique of a Level 4 was not enough to withstand such a violent explosion.
He carefully strengthened the defensive barrier again. His heart felt heavy as he sensed the remaining amount of his spiritual power and his own state.
Qin Dongbei was different from the three weirdos from the Tiansheng Group.
He had also reached the 600th floor, but his explosive techniques were terrifying.
He learned that the other party used the proceeds from the group’s sale to pay out bonuses.
He most likely exchanged all of his assets for world energy points.
He was the director of the world’s second-largest consortium; how much was his net worth?
Wang Wen estimated that his enhancement would not be lower than a hundred billion points.
In other words, it was at Level 7.
At that level, that opponent was no less powerful than a tower climber on the 700th floor.
If the time spent climbing to the 700th floor was too short, the number of times one reached the 700th floor would be insufficient, resulting in the item not being sufficiently strengthened.
He had used his supreme treasure but did not manage to kill his opponent.
It meant that a 600th-floor Level 7 opponent could kill him.
As he thought about that…
Wang Wen increased the thickness of the barrier.
Then he used his spiritual power to lift himself and Zhu Xingguo into the air slowly.
He stopped when Zhu Xingguo indicated that the ten-meter radius was almost at its limit.
The smoke and dust from the explosion further blurred their vision in the night.
The two of them stared at the dust.
He was wondering why Ren Ruoruo did not move.
A warm white ball of light rose from somewhere in the smoke.
Everyone’s eyes were drawn to the ball of light.
And then the light ball was destroyed by some power.
A vast shadow appeared quietly not far from the side of the smoke.
The shadow looked down.
It was like a giant.
Mosquitoes.
