Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 54 - 53: Fang Tianhe Takes Action

Fang Tianhe opened his wrist-mounted computer, and his expression tensed slightly.

The sender’s name in the message field was Roger, but he knew, of course, that Roger had lent his wrist-mounted computer to Lin Xinghai.

And the whole reason Lin Xinghai had borrowed it was to guard against any unexpected developments.

He immediately opened the message. The first thing that popped up was a video.

The video wasn’t long, ending after just three minutes, but that was enough for him to understand exactly what had happened.

Beneath the video was a message from Lin Xinghai.

"We’re about to enter the Public Security Bureau, but I noticed Huai Feifu’s expression. He’s not showing any signs of panic or anxiety. In fact, he almost looks... eager."

"Also, on the way to the bureau, I saw him whispering with the escort personnel several times. I’m afraid there might be complications. Requesting backup."

He wasn’t the only one who received this message; Shen Han, Wu Yan, and Xu Haishui had all received it and just finished reading it as well.

"Boss, I’ll take a few of the guys and head over!" Wu Yan spoke up.

Fang Tianhe didn’t answer immediately, instead glancing at Shen Han, who was standing to the side.

They knew each other so well that Shen Han instantly understood what he meant. She immediately opened her wrist-mounted computer, pulled up the database, and began a keyword search.

Soon, she found what she was looking for.

"The current Public Security Bureau Chief, Michael, entered the Star Shield Shelter three years ago. He used the Morgan Conglomerate’s influence to get parachuted directly into his position."

"During his tenure, the complaint rate against the Public Security Bureau has skyrocketed. But with the Morgan Conglomerate’s influence, all he’s ever received is a public reprimand and been forced to write a few self-criticism reports."

"The fact that the Lower Level District has so many gangs these days is directly related to him. There’s a high probability that he and Huai Feifu know each other," Shen Han concluded.

"In that case, I’ll go myself," Fang Tianhe said.

Wu Yan: "I’m going too!"

Xu Haishui: "Boss, take me with you."

"We’re not busy anyway, so it’s fine if we all go. At the same time, send someone to tell Roger he doesn’t need to surveil the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps anymore. And while you’re at it, ask if he wants to come," Fang Tianhe said.

"We might be able to use this to our advantage," Shen Han said.

"Hmm?" Fang Tianhe looked at Shen Han, waiting for her to continue.

"We brought back a huge amount of Energy Crystal Stones this time. Even though we took security measures during the handover, it’s practically impossible to keep it a complete secret from the Morgan Conglomerate."

"Our Mercenary Corps’ file is probably already on the desk of one of their executives."

"In short, since we’ve already picked a side, there’s no need to be so restrained anymore."

"Right now, the struggle between the Morgan Conglomerate and the Shelter’s upper management is about to break out into the open. The higher-ups would surely love to see someone from the Morgan Conglomerate make a mistake."

Hearing this, Fang Tianhe started to understand what Shen Han was getting at. "You mean I should leak this to the top brass?"

"Exactly!" Shen Han nodded.

"What if our analysis is wrong? What if Michael actually handles this by the book?" Fang Tianhe asked with a frown.

"So what? If we’re right, we get him stripped of his position as chief, and we get the credit. If we’re wrong, it still shows the higher-ups where we stand," Shen Han said.

"Alright! Let’s do it," Fang Tianhe nodded.

A moment later, after sending a private message to the top brass, Fang Tianhe led a large group of Mercenaries out of their base camp, heading for the Lower Level District in a great procession.

Their mass departure was immediately noticed by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, who had been keeping them under surveillance.

Qiu Taifei, the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, immediately took his team and set out to intercept them.

...

"Well, well. Fancy meeting you here." At the elevator shaft leading to the Lower Level District, Qiu Taifei watched the approaching group from the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and spoke with a humorless smile.

"We all know what’s going on with the Axe Gang. Aren’t you tired of keeping up the act?" Fang Tianhe sneered.

The Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps had a terrible reputation. They often used underhanded methods to suppress their rivals, and there were even rumors of them preying on other criminal elements.

Of all their dealings, their biggest source of income was the tribute paid by the Axe Gang.

The Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps was established even later than the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, but with the Axe Gang’s backing, they had become a Second Level Mercenary Corps much faster.

One could say the Axe Gang was their personal cash cow, so of course, they would spare no effort in helping them.

However, no matter how much they helped the Axe Gang, it was something that could never be brought out into the open.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve never heard of any Axe Gang," Qiu Taifei said flatly.

"Fine. Pretend you don’t know, I don’t care." Fang Tianhe couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and started walking toward the elevator shaft.

However, Qiu Taifei and his contingent of Mercenaries completely blocked the entrance to the shaft.

"Move," Fang Tianhe said, his voice turning cold as he reached them.

"This elevator shaft is currently in use by the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps. If you need one, go find another," Qiu Taifei’s tone was just as hostile. No First Level Mercenary Corps had ever dared to speak to him like that.

If they were outside the Shelter, he would have taught them a lesson long ago.

Fang Tianhe didn’t waste any more words and just kept walking forward, his imposing frame heading straight for Qiu Taifei.

Seeing that Fang Tianhe was showing him absolutely no respect, a flash of fury crossed Qiu Taifei’s face. He lashed out, grabbing for Fang Tianhe’s throat.

Seeing his opponent make a move, Fang Tianhe threw a punch straight at his face.

Now genuinely enraged, Qiu Taifei unleashed his Superpower and transformed into a Werewolf.

That’s right, his Superpower was also Werewolf Transformation.

However, even among Werewolf Transformation Superpowers, there were differences. When Xu Haishui used his, his entire body was enhanced across the board.

Qiu Taifei’s Werewolf Transformation Superpower, on the other hand, mainly increased his Power.

His arms grew noticeably larger, and wolf claws sprouted from his knuckles.

Seeing this, Fang Tianhe naturally activated his Heaven-Splitting Superpower, his entire fist enveloped in black light.

BOOM!

A fist and a clawed hand collided mid-air, creating an explosive bang—the result of the raw might of two different Superpowers clashing.

The instant they collided, Qiu Taifei’s expression changed.

His Genetic Optimization Level had already reached 95%. He was a Strength Type Optimized, and with the boost from his Superpower, he had never feared anyone in a head-on collision before.

But in that moment, the terrifying Energy that erupted from Fang Tianhe’s fist nearly shattered his hand.

The clash was over as quickly as it began. Fang Tianhe’s fist now bore several bloody scratches from the Sharp Claws, while Qiu Taifei took a step back. It looked like they were evenly matched.

But in reality, only Qiu Taifei himself knew that his palm was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, hidden from view for the moment by the fur from his Werewolf Transformation.
