Chapter 745 -691: Abyss Divine Artifact!
Fang Xianzheng felt that the gaze Lin Tianchen cast upon him was like the sharpest blade, aiming to slice him apart and grind him to dust. His scalp tingled, and goosebumps spread across his body.
Still, his expression quickly returned to calmness, and he sat down with composure on the opposite side of the office desk.
“Congratulations to General Lin for safely escaping the Heavenly Curtain. It seems the proposal raised by Ms. Edian Kinman earlier can be concluded. I’ll handle this matter for you shortly.”
This was a reminder to the man opposite him about the inquiry initiated by Edian Kinman in Congress, where Fang Xianzheng had exerted some of his influence.
Fang Xianzheng didn’t know the specifics of Lin Tianchen’s current condition. Yet the fact that this man could sit here, carrying the severed head of Bruce the White Knight, without alerting the security systems of the congressional building — and all the while keeping Fang Xianzheng’s security personnel completely oblivious — was proof enough that Lin Tianchen’s strength had recovered to the point where he could, at the very least, fight normally.
“Then much appreciated,” Lin Tianchen said, his gaze mocking as it lingered on Fang Xianzheng. “But from hearing your call earlier, it appears you sold me for quite the hefty price? Vice Chairman Fang, you should be thankful you have a good daughter.”
——The crux lies in having a good son-in-law.
Fang Xianzheng chuckled awkwardly. Facing the cold and piercing gaze of Lin Tianchen, he raised his hand to make tea for the man: “General Lin coming personally to visit me must mean there’s something you need me to handle?”
His expression turned solemn and resolute: “As long as it’s within my ability, I’ll do my best to take care of it for you.”
Lin Tianchen nodded, retracting the murderous intent in his eyes.
He had never intended to harm Fang Xianzheng, nor had he any feelings of anger toward the man.
Because Lin Tianchen had long understood what kind of person Fang Xianzheng was — merely an emotionless political machine, willing to turn anyone or anything into a bargaining chip.
This guy had only chosen to sell him out at this stage — which wasn’t bad, considering it was all due to the Bright Front, and his daughter and son-in-law.
Moreover, the man had one redeeming quality: he was perceptive!
“There are indeed a few matters I need you to handle.”
Lin Tianchen handed a document to Fang Xianzheng. “You have one day. Get these five tasks done.”
Fang Xianzheng opened the file to take a glance.
Drenched in cold sweat instantly.
The first task Lin Tianchen required was relatively normal: designations for the heroic sacrifices of certain Security Bureau high-ranking officials and their generous posthumous compensations.
This made sense. Lin Tianchen’s direct subordinates had suffered brutal blows from the Longevity Association, with over twenty generals and marshal-level figures being killed or severely injured.
Now that this man had regained his True Spirit and recovered much of his strength, compensating those fallen troops was naturally expected.
But the trouble lay in the following tasks. Lin Tianchen’s second instruction was for Fang Xianzheng to propose to Congress a motion of appointment — transferring Lin Tianchen to Commander of the Second Fleet Group while nominating Linghu Mingde as Deputy Commander of the Security Bureau!
The third task was to launch an investigation into Hephaestus Heavy Industries Group under the accusation of colluding with the terrorist organization “Longevity Association” to smuggle arms, coupled with issuing a ban forbidding the sale of any Hephaestus Heavy Industries products.
The fourth task involved suspending three Honorary Members of Congress and revoking seven other members’ qualifications — including Edian Kinman — on charges of collusion with the terrorist organization “Longevity Association,” alongside corresponding investigations.
The fifth task was to control the conference progression of the Security Committee, ensuring the comprehensive approval of personnel appointments within the Security Bureau.
According to Federation regulations, all appointments of officers ranked General and above but below the four Commanders within the Security Bureau must be decided by the “Marshal Joint Leadership Conference” inside the bureau, then submitted to the congressional Security Committee for review and voting.
After finishing the file, Fang Xianzheng paused briefly and then looked at Lin Tianchen with strangely contemplative eyes. “General Lin, the first matter is no issue — I can get it done for you within an hour. The fifth one, as long as personnel appointments fall within the realm of reason, poses little difficulty either. But the remaining three tasks… I’m afraid not one of them will pass Congress.”
“I’m not negotiating with you.” Lin Tianchen spoke, tapping a finger against the office desk. “I’m informing you — they must be done!”
At that very moment, within a one-kilometer radius surrounding this office, more than twenty Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators approaching quietly suddenly turned pale.
They felt a faint blood streak crack open across the area of their necks.
These High-level Martial Cultivators were either Fang Xianzheng’s personal bodyguards or congressional security personnel.
They had covertly moved closer after receiving Fang Xianzheng’s distress signal, yet simultaneously, their necks had been cut open by Lin Tianchen’s power. freёnovelkiss.com
The wounds were precisely measured — neither too deep nor too shallow — stopping exactly one millimeter away from severing their cervical spines and carotid arteries.
Moreover, an immensely sharp and overwhelming Divine Thought laden with infinite killing intent had locked onto them from afar, freezing them entirely in place — not even able to twitch.
Lin Tianchen’s lips curled faintly, his mocking eyes brimming with disdain and hatred. “You know well how my subordinates died, Fang Xianzheng. This is the answer you and the Security Committee owe me.”
At that moment, Fang Xianzheng’s brow split open, blood gushing down and staining the corners of his forehead.
Yet he remained silent, motionless.
Indeed, three members of the Security Committee had betrayed these high-ranking officials from the Security Bureau, even facilitating the Longevity Association — by deliberately withdrawing their defensive forces or assigning them to zones ripe for an attack from the Longevity Association.
Although Fang Xianzheng hadn’t directly participated, he had stood by and allowed these reckless actions from the three members.
A sudden revelation now surged through his chest, stirring a storm of turmoil.
