Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 642: Section 638 - Variables
"Who is this... and those people don't seem like good folks!"
Shen Fei's gaze fell on Princess Lin Ziyu, who had alighted from the mobile vehicle, and then she began sizing up the gang members.
Dressed as a Third-Level Investigative Agent, Yu Zilin, Her Royal Highness the Princess had undergone a transformation where her beauty was at least halved; even her facial shape had changed. No matter where she was placed, she looked like a nondescript average person, merely mediocre in appearance and far from beauty.
Even after reverting to her original dignified appearance, in Chen Xiao'er's eyes, well, Teacher Shen was still more beautiful!
Such thoughts couldn't be voiced aloud, or he would be beaten!
For the Lin Family, the Chen Family had never been considered outsiders; it was natural as the sky and the earth for an elder sister to hit her younger brother.
Chen Fei hurriedly introduced both sides.
"You guessed it, those eight bad guys are members of the local gang 'Hundred-Legs Gang'. And this lady in front, she's my partner for this operation, a special agent from the Imperial Security Department, Miss Yu."
"Miss Yu, this is my girlfriend, Shen Fei, deputy secretary of the Northern Weapons Industry Group!"
"Hello!" × 2
Her Royal Highness the Princess and Shen Fei shook hands calmly.
"Chirp!"
The little bird cheerfully landed on Teacher Shen's shoulder, joyfully frolicking about.
"Hundred-Legs Gang?"
A cry of alarm came from nearby as the hotel manager, with a face full of panic, took several steps back in an attempt to cover his own uneasiness.
The biggest local snakes in Nandu City might not be something ordinary folks would come into contact with often, but those in areas such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation inevitably had to deal with gang members, occasionally engaging in some shady transactions.
Judging by the hotel manager's reaction, the reputation of "Hundred-Legs Gang" wasn't very good.
"Hello, big sister-in-law!" × 8
The eight rough men bowed in unison to Shen Fei.
You had to be smart to survive in a gang; the dumb ones were already dead.
They deserved no less than ninety-nine thumbs up for their perceptiveness!
"Ah!"
Shen Fei was startled by the collective action of these terrifying figures.
No matter how harmless their faces tried to appear, they couldn't hide their innate badness.
Bastards!
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Fei chided them irritably, the eight bad guys scurried to one side, trembling with fear.
He didn't care whether the "Hundred-Legs Gang" was the biggest gang in Nandu City or not. If they resisted, he would beat them. If they dared to bear teeth, he would give them a one-shot sendoff.
No matter how formidable a gang was, they were nothing in the face of any random military contractor.
You have good brothers, I have a fighter jet!
You have a big machete, I have a fighter jet!
You have a little pistol, I have a fighter jet!
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Fuck, this isn't fun anymore!
So it was entirely justified that Chen Xiao'er didn't take these gang members seriously.
And as for Her Royal Highness the Princess, hehe, hehe... did he need a reason? Did he?
No!
The Eight Great Diamonds of the "Hundred-Legs Gang" weren't even qualified to be considered human beings here.
"For convenience and to get the job done, I've temporarily taken them in. Once they've outlived their use, we'll follow the law: lock up those who should be locked up, and use the rest for target practice."
Chen Fei declared this brazenly in front of the gang members, making it clear that they would be disposed of after use, with no need for pretenses.
Right now, they should feel honored to be able to live a little longer, while they still had value to him.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
-_-||| × 8
What else could the rough men do but accept they were no longer treated as humans.
There was an Evil Dragon keeping watch; if they dared let a single "no" slip through their teeth, their lives would be over. Wasn't it sweet to survive a while longer?
"So that's the situation!"
Teacher Shen let out a sigh of relief; she had been a bit worried that Chen Fei might go down the wrong path.
Bad people must die; toss them out after use. No problem, very appropriate.
She continued, "We need your help now, precisely, all of your help, and Yilan's!"
What was gratifying was that it wasn't just Chen Fei; there was also the Metallic Dragon Yilan.
"What exactly is going on?"
Chen Fei looked around and saw some familiar signage—military contractors often dealt with these manufacturers to purchase equipment.
Blue Star's manufacturers, who had come to showcase their products, hadn't cleaned up their materials thoroughly, leaving many behind.
"Such a rare chance to promote our products, and the clients didn't even show up..."

Shen Fei couldn't help being upset. All the careful preparations had been made, but they encountered upheaval in Nandu City. She turned her gaze towards the lobby entrance and helplessly said, "Suddenly a rebellion broke out without warning outside. Some manufacturers tried to break out and return to Blue Star through the Dimensional Gate, only to be annihilated. Mr. Randon from Louis Industrial Company also arrived and rescued some people back here. Now, we're all trapped and have been under attack. Without your help, we might not have lasted much longer."
Not just Shen Fei, many people were still shaken when recalling the previous situation.
"Chen Fei, Mr. Randon wants to see you!"
Acting as the commander-in-chief for everyone, Chief Bodyguard Riva approached Shen Fei and Chen Fei.
"Eh? Mr. Randon? Oh, okay, alright!"
Speaking of which, Chen Fei had met Louis Industries' big boss once before; the man's security forces had helped him capture a supernatural power criminal "Plagiarist Ghost."
Shen Fei said, "I'll come with you!"
She was worried that Chen Fei might say something wrong and get thrown off the rooftop by the big shot, which would be very embarrassing.
Princess Lin Ziyu and Yilan stayed with the eight gang members in the lobby on the first floor, while Chen Fei and Shen Fei went up to the rooftop together.
As soon as they exited the elevator that led directly to the rooftop, Pure Light Sparrow Xiao Jiu rushed into the sky and flew back and forth over the hotel.
It seemed as if the previous nonsensical babbling had never happened, Louis Landon, the president of Louis Industries who regained his composure that had been unusually lost for a moment, was now sitting alone on a chair, hands resting on his cane, his face pensive.
"Mr. Randon, they're here!" a voice at his side whispered.
"Oh, let them come over!"
Louis Landon finally regained his senses and looked towards the two people approaching.
"Hello, Mr. Randon!"
Chen Fei greeted the big shot with a nod, not at all embarrassed.
Even if Boss Hana came, he would probably show even more respect.
"Sit down!"
The big boss of Louis Industries made a gesture, and immediately chairs were brought over for Chen Shen to sit together.
"Oh, the two of you..."
Louis Landon's gaze swept over Chen Fei and Shen Fei, and he suddenly had an epiphany—so that's how it is!
This was also good news; at least Chen Fei's combat ability would be even more reliable, especially after the Mobile Base Vehicle had demonstrated a quite prominent performance not long ago.
After all, in some specialized fields, everyone has their advantages and shortcomings; the bodyguards couldn't compare with military contractors.
Moreover, there was a Metallic Dragon; others couldn't communicate with a Metallic Dragon the way Chen Fei could—most would be crushed to a pulp by a single swipe of its paw.
With this in place, the hotel could be considered truly safe.
"Mr. Randon, as you can see!"
Chen Fei shrugged, not hiding his relationship with Teacher Shen in the slightest.
A military contractor's lowly employee and the deputy secretary of a large aerospace manufacturer—two people from completely different circles of life who managed to come together was already enough material to write a novel.
"The turmoil here isn't just in Nandu City; it's the whole continent."
Louis Landon's words surprised both Chen Fei and Shen Fei.
As expected of a big shot, he seemed to be in possession of quite some insider information.
"Don't look at me like that. The information I have is only a tiny bit more than what's been disclosed by the local television," Louis Landon said, shaking his head as he saw the astonishment and admiration in both of their eyes.
He continued, "This timing is critical, representing a turning point in the fate of Cangqiong Star and Blue Star. We are now standing at a historical crossroad, and you need to listen carefully to what I'm about to say."
"Why, why tell us all this?"
Shen Fei was puzzled, both she and Chen Fei were insignificant figures.
Logically, if the sky were to fall, it was supposed to be the big shots who would withstand it first.
"Hold on, I'll find someone to have her listen to this as well."
Chen Fei planned to fetch a big shot.
Though they expressed it differently, Shen Chen both thought of the same response spontaneously.
"No, just the two of you, to be precise, it should be you, Chen Fei!"
Louis Landon answered both of their different questions with a single sentence.
"What?"
Chen Xiao'er was completely confused.
His small frame couldn't carry such a heavy responsibility.
"Chirp?"
Little Bird descended from the sky and landed on Chen Fei's shoulder, curiously sizing up the big shot opposite.
"Because you are the variable!"
Louis Landon pointed at Chen Fei.
"What?"
Chen Xiao'er's head was more than just foggy; it was practically dripping.
"Don't understand? No matter, because Blue Star Humans' doomsday is approaching. In fifteen years, Blue Star will become a colony of the Alien Race, and humanity will be enslaved forever."
Louis Landon spoke as if pronouncing a Prophecy, even his Chief Bodyguard Riva couldn't help but take several glances at the big boss.
No one knew what was really going on, whether it was the rebellion on Zhai Liuzhou Continent that caused Mr. Randon to start speaking in riddles.
"What?"
Chen Xiao'er's awkwardness was long past severe, and even Teacher Shen Fei beside him didn't know how to react.
Couldn't we get serious, big shot? There were matters to discuss, but why start prophesying?
"I'm not insane, nor am I joking. The future is becoming history bit by bit. Chen Fei, you are a variable, and you might even become the biggest one!"
As if having tens of thousands of words to say, Louis Landon ultimately condensed them into this sentence.
"What about Cangqiong Star?"
Chen Fei noticed that the other party kept talking about Blue Star and questioned if it faced a tremendous crisis. In that case, Cangqiong Star would likely share Blue Star's fate.
"Cangqiong Star? They closed the Dimensional Gate right away. Maybe they avoided the crisis, maybe they didn't."
Louis Landon didn't conceal his disdain.
In the last moments of his previous life, Blue Star Humans had already become parasites of the Alien Race.
Louis Industries was able to become today's leading enterprise because he had the cheat of being a Reincarnator!
