Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 634 - 607

Chapter 634: Chapter 607

The assassination attempt on Fang Ranran not only shocked Qi Tianquan to his core, but it also sent shockwaves through the many elites attending the soiree.

Everyone was whispering to each other, some in awe of the audacity of the criminals, others curious about whom Fang Ranran could have possibly offended, some relieved about Fang Ranran’s safety, and yet others disappointed by the outcome.

However, the top tier of the gathering was astounded by the power Lin Rui had displayed.

“Incredible, the ‘Dark Dragon Group’ and ‘Heavenly Assassination Group’ are both top-tier assassin and mercenary groups, with a history spanning decades, notorious for their ferocity.”

“It’s so surprising, ‘Death Sword’ Broude, ‘Sword General’ Endo Yuuhiro, and ‘Assassination Dragon’ Nishikado Fumi are all Quasi-Members, backup three-star Marshals with Emperor Bloodline!”

“Could it be Linghu Mingde?”

“It’s not him, Linghu Mingde is on the Capital Ship, his Heavenly Mirror Demon was involved, but the main force was people under Lin Rui’s command.”

“That’s quite a force! Over 150 Dragon Transformation Masters, plus at least three Quasi-Members.”

“Not only that? The one who instantly killed ‘Assassination Dragon’ Nishikado Fumi must be at least at the Congressman Level.”

“I heard that this person also split their forces to wage war against the Light God Sect.”

“We underestimated his power before, it’s said that this Lin Rui is the Sect Hierarch of the so-called ‘Light King Sect’, and he can also command the forces of the ‘Light King Sect’. The Light King Sect currently has three officially registered Guardians, and there are said to be over 100 Dragon Transformations.”

“There’s even such a matter? I’ve never heard of it, but this Mr. Lin is only 19 years old! He’s already considered a first-rate power broker within the Federation, with limitless future potential.”

Qi Tianquan realized that these people were not only whispering among themselves but also glancing over at him from time to time, which made his expression even uglier, his fists cracking with the noise.

What Qi Tianquan found unbearable was that these people were actually revelling in schadenfreude! Even sympathetic!

They actually thought that offending Linghu Mingde and Lin Rui was a stupid move and were curious to see his downfall.

At this moment, a person he had marked as ‘Ning Zanchen’ sent him a message: Mr. Qi, regarding the ‘Pharmaceutical Alliance’ that you and Chairman Yang are advocating, our board has discussed and finds it unreliable; therefore, we won’t participate, and I’ll be leaving the group chat.

Ning Zanchen: Sorry, Mr. Qi, our company is quite weak, and we really don’t want to get involved in this level of corporate warfare. I’ll treat you to a casual meal another day to apologize in person.

Qi Tianquan frowned heavily after reading the message.

This Ning Zanchen was also one of the elite in Ninth Base City, and his Ningren Pharmaceutical was a powerful pharmacy company there with a market value of 27 trillion federal coins.

Not only is Ning Zanchen a powerful Quasi-Member, but he also has a brother who is a Super Emperor of Eight Realms with various top-tier equipment.

In the past month, Qi Tianquan had put a lot of effort into courting them, only for the assassination attempt to undo all his hard work.

But that was just the beginning. Just three seconds later, another person marked as ‘Carter Bignette’ sent him a message: Mr. Qi, I wish to officially inform you that after a board meeting, my company has decided not to participate in your proposed ‘Pharmaceutical Alliance.’ I’m very sorry.

This was the ‘Chairman of Bignette Medical Devices,’ whose overall strength was also very formidable, even surpassing Ningren Pharmaceutical, so his wording was neither humble nor arrogant, very straightforward.

Seeing this, Qi Tianquan’s complexion changed slightly, and he opened a chat group named ‘Pharmaceutical Alliance’ with his terminal smart bracelet.

Originally there were 12 people in this group, but now only 10 remained.

The ones who left were the two strongest besides Yang Lingxiao and himself.

Qi Tianquan was just about to speak to stabilize people’s minds when another wave of messages came in.

——Please forgive me, Mr. Qi, we’ve also withdrawn. We really have no choice, our sales channels are currently controlled by Sky Blue Group and Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals, especially Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals with over forty comprehensive hospitals, more than five thousand clinics, and over forty thousand pharmacies; we really can’t afford to lose the support of Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals.

——Mr. Qi, the strength of that Lin Rui isn’t quite what you described. Have you heard about today’s incident? Lin Rui is also at the tycoon level, and with our small stature, we dare not oppose them.

——Mr. Qi, I’ve been wanting to leave and was looking for the right time to tell you. Fang Ranran warned us not long ago, if we want to keep using their channels, we must sign a divine-oriented offense and defense alliance with them. We’re really in a dilemma.

——By the way, there’s news that the Bright Front is about to participate in the forming of the cabinet, and they’re likely to take control of the Food and Drug Administration; we’re truly frightened, sorry!

Almost every message that came was accompanied by a notification of someone leaving the group.

Qi Tianquan’s face gradually darkened like the bottom of a pot, his mood abysmal.

So not only are these people quitting the alliance, but they might also become their enemies in the future?

At this moment, Qi Tianquan saw a new message.

It was from an old friend of several decades, who, although also deciding to leave the ‘Pharmaceutical Protection Alliance,’ gave some warnings that sharpened the glint in his eyes.

——Old Qi, I’ve left too, due to irresistible circumstances, sorry!

——You must pay attention to the Crown Prince in hiding of Great Song at Sky Extreme Star, who has spread word through some supply channels that anyone who dares to be an enemy of Lin Rui within the Heavenly Demon Origin is going against him.

——We have also found that the Imperial City Department of Great Song has intensified its scrutiny of our supply sources, which indicates a certain connection between them.

——So now we’re being squeezed on both ends, material supply and sales channels. It’s not that I don’t want to help you, I’m truly unable; moreover, Fang Ranran’s ability to unite and coordinate allies is not inferior to her father’s. In the near future, the Ninth Base City might very well form an alliance against you and Yang Lingxiao. You definitely need to be aware of this trend.

Qi Tianquan’s face turned serious upon reading this.

In fact, his intelligence director was also suspecting that there might be some connection between ‘Lin Rui’ and ‘Lin Hao’.

Also concerning was Fang Ranran; the girl indeed warranted attention, having been able to take the helm of the Bright Front on her own. First, relying on Linghu Mingde’s political resources and financial support; and second, on the considerable financial power provided by Lin Rui, along with the fifty million votes of the Light King Sect spread across several base cities, in addition to Lin Rui’s own popularity.

Besides, she also leveraged a bit of her father’s prestige, playing off borrowed power.

However, Fang Ranran’s organizational, managerial, and operational capabilities were indeed top-notch.

Just then, Qi Tianquan heard someone nearby let out a surprised “Huh”: “The news is out. That was fast.”

Qi Tianquan’s expression changed, and he looked up at the three-dimensional TV broadcasting in the southeast corner of the restaurant.

“——Breaking news, our city’s renowned politician, chairwoman of the Bright Front and newly elected Congresswoman, Ms. Fang Ranran, was attacked by a large number of assassins in the southern 3121 district. It is reported that participants included the ‘Dark Dragon Group’, ‘Heaven’s Judgement’, ‘Undead Group’, and the ‘Three-headed Snake’, and many assassin groups and dark mercenaries. Fortunately, with the Forest Group’s security department, the Security Bureau, and the Armed Police Force fighting valiantly, they annihilated the federal top-wanted criminals including Charles Broude, Endo Yuuhiro, Nishikado Fumi, and many villains.”

“——According to an inside source from the Ninth Division of the Security Bureau, the Security Bureau has acquired conclusive evidence that this incident is very likely related to the terrorist organization ‘Longevity Association’. The Ninth Division of the Security Bureau will soon hold a press conference to reveal the case details and answer public queries.”

“Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals has pledged to donate, not only covering all medical expenses for the casualties but also compensating for all losses caused by this attempted assassination.”

Qi Tianquan saw this, and before he had time to think more, the next moment the scene on screen shifted.

“The Intelligence Center at the headquarters of the Security Bureau issued a statement that, following overnight investigations, it has preliminarily confirmed that the recent college league championship games’ incident of Shi Yan being drugged, leading to divine possession, was masterminded by the Longevity Association.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianquan tensed immediately, realizing that the Longevity Association was likely to face serious trouble.

At this time, he also saw a video, which was of a middle-aged man in a trench coat who boarded a ship and left the ‘Martial Arts Palace’ three minutes after the incident during the college league finals.

Qi Tianquan recognized the man, who was Horiyama Yuusei, a dual academician of the Great Yamato Science Academy and the Atlantic Federation Academy of Sciences.

As far as Qi Tianquan knew, this person had another identity: Chen Long, the Great Chief Priest of the Longevity Association.

Qi Tianquan’s company had several projects in collaboration with this person.

Meanwhile, in a secret laboratory within the Tenth Base City, High Priest Chen Long was watching the news with an incredulous look.

He thought, what in the world did this godly possession incident have to do with him?

Chen Long suddenly realized that this could be a counterstrike by Fang Ranran, or even Fang Xianzheng!

“Hmm?”

Chen Long could now confirm that it was a counterstrike by Fang Xianzheng; he found several of his financial accounts and investment funds had been frozen.

Not only that, there was a chorus of cursing within the internal financial group of the Longevity Association.

The cause was the Financial Supervision and Management Center of the Security Bureau, which had frozen a large number of their accounts on allegations of anti-money laundering and funding violent terrorism.
