Godly Base - Chapter 169

169 – God Research Society

Every action of aristocratic family children represents their aristocratic families. They are the best at measuring advantages and disadvantages. The Han Family is a 4th grade aristocratic family, only a step away from the level of a 3rd grade aristocratic family.

Beiyuan’s Li Family, which is a 1st grade aristocratic family, is out of the Han Family’s league. But even so, the Li Family still wouldn’t rashly start a war with the Han Family. After all, once a full-scale war breaks out, then even if the Li Family wins, it will still suffer severe damage. The gains don’t outweigh the losses.

Yet Li Xuanyi used the strength of the Li Family to suppress the Han Family. This is professional suicide. With this stunt, the position of the head of the Li Family will slip farther and farther away from him.

Han Tianyuan said coldly: “Since the Li Family has taken action against us, and we are in the wrong here, we can only lower our heads! Han Leiying, when Shu Feng comes back, you must apologize to him in public. With this, this matter will be put to rest!”

“Fine!”

Han Leiying greeted his teeth and spoke thusly, feeling as if his heart was cut by a knife.

Han Tianyuan said lightly: “For your information, Shu Feng not only didn’t die, but also foiled the plan to resurrect the Lord of the Night. He made great achievements. Flameguard’s headquarters decided to promote him to a 3rd flame cadre!”

Han Leiying’s eyes constricted slightly, and he raised his head and stared at Han Tianyuan.

In Flameguard, the highest level of cadre is 9th flame. At present, there is only one 9th flame cadre, and that person is Flame Lord Jing Chen. The vice-flame lord is an 8th flame cadre, while Heavenly Sword’s Big Three are 7th flame cadres. Captains of Heavenly Sword like Shui Lingyan are 6th flame cadres, Shui Lingyan’s assistants are 5th flame cadres, elites of Heavenly Sword are 4th flame cadres, and ordinary members of Heavenly Sword are 3rd flame cadres.

A branch captain of Flameguard like Zhou Yang is just a 1st flame cadre.

A senior figure of Flameguard like Han Feng is only a 5th flame cadre.

By being promoted to a 3rd flame cadre, Shu Feng has became a middle-level cadre of Flameguard. That makes it difficult to use many methods against him. Otherwise, the terrifying behemoth that is Flameguard will be provoked.

Han Tianyuan glared at Han Leiying and said coldly, “Don’t even think about it. It’s already set in stone that Shu Feng will be promoted to a 3rd flame cadre. Our Han Family can’t be destroyed. However, it’s the taller trees in the woods that get their tops blown off. Even if the Han Family doesn’t take action, there are other people who will want to kill him.”

Han Leiying clenched his teeth and uttered in reply, “Okay!”

In a luxurious villa.

Li Xuanyi picked up a document, looked at it, and sighed ruefully: “The Han Family threw in the towel! It’s a shame, but with my current strength, I can only do this much.”

Beiyuan’s Li Family indeed has the ability to destroy the Han Family. But this doesn’t mean that Li Xuanyi can wield this terrifying power. After all, Li Xuanyi is not the head of the Li Family. The resources he can mobilize are limited.

If the Han Family resisted to the end, the Li Family would surely teach it a cruel lesson for the sake of its dignity as a 1st grade aristocratic family. But since the Han Family threw in the towel, Li Xuanyi has no choice but to stop. Otherwise, he will not only be unable to garner support from the family, but will also receive hostility from other aristocratic families.

Old Fang’s eyes flashed with admiration, and he said: “Young lord, with your meticulous planning, you were able to bite off a piece of meat from the Han Family and force them to yield. Few people of the Qianyuan Republic’s younger generation can achieve such a feat.”

Li Xuanyi used the name of the Li Family to unite several enemies of the Han Family and deal severe damaged to many industries of the Han Family in the Qianyuan Republic. At the same time, he gained a lot of benefits, without triggering much of a reaction from the Han Family. Few of people of the Qianyuan Republic’s younger generation are capable of such a feat.

Two days later, people from the Qianyuan Republic finally came to the Reio Republic.

The Reio Republic, in a conference hall of the royal palace.

A tall middle-aged man wearing a Heavenly Sword uniform with short hair and a sword scar on the face extended a hand to Shu Feng: “Hello, Shu Feng. I’m Shao Fan, the captain of Heavenly Sword’s 23rd battalion. I’m responsible for the investigation of the Church of the Night.”

Behind Shao Fan, there are seven elites of Heavenly Sword, each of which is brimming with arrogance.

Heavenly Sword is an organization that contains the most elite spirit ability users of Flameguard. An ordinary member of Heavenly Sword possess Great Spirit Master realm cultivation base, and his equipment and combat power are far above that of ordinary Great Spirit Masters.

Heavenly Sword has a total of 36 battalions, with every 12 battalions being divided into a rank. The 23rd battalion is a second rank battalion of Heavenly Sword and is very strong, and its captain and vice-captain are Spirit Grandmasters. The battalion can pose a threat to even a Great Grandmaster.

Shu Feng shook Shao Fan’s hand and said, “Hello, I’m Shu Feng.”

A middle-aged man with medium height, regular features, and vicious temperament said coldly: “Shu Feng, where did Hanani and Hasna go?”

Shu Feng replied coldly: “Who are you?”

“I’m, Chen Ningquan, the vice-captain of the 23rd battalion!”

Shu Feng said coldly, “How should I know where they went?”

“Shu Feng, Hanani and Hasna are key figures in the evil god’s resurrection. If you cover for them, you will be implicated in their crime. I advise you to tell me where they are!”

Chen Ningquan stared at Shu Feng with cold eyes, his aura surged, and Spirit Grandmaster realm spirit pressure swept towards Shu Feng.

“Captain Shao Fan, I destroyed the Reio Republic’s Church of the Night. There is no enmity between vice-captain Chen Ningquan and I, yet he’s being really aggressive towards me. Is he perhaps a member of the Church of the Night? I suspect that Chen Ningquan has colluded with the Church of the Night. Maybe he’s the one who erased the report I sent to the headquarters.”

Shu Feng turned to Shao Fan and complained.

Chen Ningquan was both shocked and angry, “That’s slander!”

Flameguard is thoroughly investigating the people involved in the erasure of Shu Feng’s report and request for help and is conducting a purge. Who knows how many stupid vermin have been purged so far. If Chen Ningquan is implicated in this incident, he will also be investigated. Even if it is later discovered that he has no relation to this incident, it will still be a headache to him.

Zhao Zixin’s beautiful eyes flashed coldly. While standing side by side with Shu Feng, she looked straight at Shao Fan and uttered: “Yes, I also suspect that Chen Ningquan has colluded with the Church of the Night!”

Shao Fan glanced at Zhao Zixin, and his eyes constricted. He then showed a mild smile and said, “It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! Can you give me face and give it a rest?”

Shu Feng said nothing and calmly looked at Shao Fan.

Shao Fan sighed slightly and said, “Shu Feng, I’ll be frank with you! Hasna and Hanani are involved in the evil god’s resurrection and are wanted by God Research Society. If they are with you, then you should hand them over!”

Zhao Zixin’s eyes constricted slightly, and she mused: “God Research Society!”

God Research Society is a loose alliance of people from many aristocratic families and magnum families of the Qianyuan Republic. Their goal is to research gods and attempt to become gods themselves.
