All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 54: The New Boss

"Even if your speculation is correct, that the black-robed figure is truly connected with Kangbo Biological Company and he also discovered that the assault incident is related to Fang Keyi."

"Then, since the black-robed figure can find Fang Keyi, he must be able to find others involved as well. If he truly wants revenge, it won’t just be killing Fang Keyi alone, but rather killing more people."

"Besides, Fang Keyi is a cowardly, self-serving guy. Even if the black-robed figure couldn’t find out, he would surely be able to interrogate others involved in the action. There’s no reason for him to investigate the Golden Shield Society Headquarters. What could he possibly find there? Anyone with sense knows that such a major incident couldn’t possibly leave any clues at the headquarters. If he went to investigate, he would only be investigating other things."

Volcano firmly dismissed Celestial Eye’s speculation.

He had no knowledge of He Zhengqi’s death, and even if he did know, he wouldn’t connect He Zhengqi’s death to the assault incident, as he didn’t know He Zhengqi was also one of the participants in the action.

In his view, if the black-robed figure was truly connected to the assault incident and wanted to retaliate against the attackers, he had no reason to stop after killing just one or two people, and even less reason to go investigate at the Golden Shield Society Headquarters.

In a way, the fact that the black-robed figure went to the Golden Shield Society Headquarters made him feel even more that the figure was not related to the assault incident yesterday.

It was probably just a coincidence.

Celestial Eye shrugged, saying:

"Alright, since there’s no concrete clues, I was just guessing anyway. Since it’s not, let’s change direction and carefully investigate the Golden Shield Society; we should be able to find more clues."

Volcano nodded, saying:

"The first time the black-robed figure appeared, he was teaching a lesson to two people from the Golden Shield Society. Coupled with this invasion of the Golden Shield Society Headquarters behavior, I have reason to believe he has a feud with the Golden Shield Society."

"I suspect he had just awakened his superhuman abilities, and since he wasn’t too comfortable using them at first, he initially tried to act righteously at night, practice his skills, and now feels more proficient with his abilities, hence he started taking decisive action against the Golden Shield Society."

"Overall, let’s focus our investigation around the Golden Shield Society in the coming days."

"For the rest, I’ll need your help."

He looked toward Celestial Eye, who nodded lightly, "No problem, leave it to me."

At this moment.

A sincere-looking middle-aged man who had been sitting silently to one side spoke up:

"What should we do about the Yonghui Financial Group? Kangbo Biological Company is after all their secret experimental base, now destroyed by someone. They will surely send people over to handle this, and it’s likely they’ve already deduced it was us. They might even send members of the Dragon Soldier Squad or Divine Soldier Squad."

"Investigating the black-robed figure is important, but our lives are more important; we absolutely cannot take risks."

Volcano nodded:

"Don’t worry, I understand."

...

Around 4 PM.

After finishing his recon, Su Xin returned home.

He hadn’t eaten or drunk anything all day, yet as he expected, he felt no hunger or thirst.

He didn’t plan on adhering to the common habit of regular meals and drinks, considering the inevitability of having to eliminate waste after consumption. Not eating or drinking meant no need for elimination...

This moved him another step closer to immortality.

Moreover, lacking the need for food and drink elimination not only saved a lot of time but also made things more convenient.

Sitting down at his computer desk, Su Xin took out his phone and habitually browsed the news.

Soon, his pupils widened in shock as he abruptly sat up straight, shocked at the news on his phone.

"How could this happen!"

"Mengzhu’s house has been burned down?"

He hastily clicked on the local news.

To his slight relief, the report mentioned that several charred corpses were found at the fire scene, which upon identification were confirmed to be Golden Shield Society president Fang Keyi and his three bodyguards, who were shot dead before the fire occurred. Additionally, Fang Keyi’s wife and two maids also died in the fire, but neither Fang Keyi’s daughter nor the name Fang Mengzhu was mentioned.

Moreover, considering the time of the incident, Fang Mengzhu should have been at home at that time.

"It seems she didn’t die."

Su Xin let out a breath of relief.

Although he had agreed with Fang Mengzhu to settle the past grievances and even allowed her to kill him once, thus feeling he owed her nothing psychologically, he couldn’t bear to see news of her death considering their past relationship.

After contemplating, Su Xin ultimately decided against seeking her out, fearing that even though they had turned against each other, searching her out now would not be appreciated, and might instead further escalate the conflict.

"Forget it, let fate take its course."

"She has superhuman abilities, and they seem quite powerful, she likely won’t easily encounter danger, I shouldn’t worry about her."

Shaking off the chaotic thoughts from his mind, Su Xin refocused and continued browsing other news.

Concerning yesterday’s assault incident, the media was still reporting continuously, and some small media outlets were releasing various tidbits about Kangbo Biological Company, pretending to analyze who the assailants might have been.

Overall, the assault incident remained a hot topic.

However, the officials consistently refrained from announcing any explicit progress on the case, only firmly stating their commitment to thoroughly investigate and seriously address the matter.

Seeing there was no useful information, Su Xin sat for a moment before he stood up, donned his black-robed gear, and disappeared from his house via Instant Teleportation.

...

Golden Shield Society Headquarters.

Inside a conference room on the sixth floor.

Several high-ranking members of the Golden Shield Society and some senior core members gathered for a series of meetings.

With the president’s sudden death and the headquarters invasion along with other sudden incidents, they had to promptly select a new president and devise appropriate measures to deal with these emergencies.

After a series of overt and covert power struggles, Vice President Xu Li was chosen as the acting president, succeeding Fang Keyi’s position, temporarily becoming the new leader.

Consequently, regarding Fang Keyi’s death, He Zhengqi’s death, and the headquarters invasion, everyone separately discussed relevant coping measures.

In the main seat of the conference room, a square-faced middle-aged man, exuding stern authority, said:

"Alright, since we’ve discussed the corresponding plans, I’ll ask each of you to carry out your tasks promptly. With so many incidents within the Society, if we can’t resolve them quickly, other societies will certainly look down on us, and some will definitely seize this opportunity to snatch business. Therefore, we cannot afford chaos, we must demonstrate the Society’s unity, letting everyone know that even if President Fang has died, our Golden Shield Society is not to be trifled with."

Saying this, he looked at another middle-aged man with meticulously groomed facial hair sitting on his left, and his tone softened:

"Vice President Shan, during critical times like these, only by working together can we overcome difficulties. I’ll leave investigating President Fang and He Zhengqi’s death up to you."

Shan Jinyong’s expression remained neutral, unreadable; he simply nodded calmly:

"Rest assured, on such significant matters, I know what to do."
