Resurrection Empire-Chapter 996 - 384: Strategizing Behind the Scenes

Ren Zhong's alloy rod smashed fiercely onto the mutant warrior's body, slicing through the gelatinous form like cutting tofu, and then hit the ground heavily, sending sparks flying.

The mutant warrior initially utilized its body's characteristics to absorb Ren Zhong's impact, intending to lunge forward during Ren Zhong's moment of stiffness upon landing. Nearby, Gao Ya's bodyguards seized the opportunity to ramp up firepower, switching to super heavy kinetic bombs with freezing effects, blowing the mutant warrior several meters sideways. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

He couldn't reach Ren Zhong anymore.

Seeing that success was impossible, he roared in desperation, "Who is Hugh Augustus! I don't know him!"

From afar, Ren Zhong pointed the tip of his long rod at him, "Everyone knows only the Mengdu Group could create a monster like you. My story with your master will continue. It's pointless to argue."

Just as Ren Zhong finished speaking, more heavily armed high-rank mechanical warriors blasted open the ceiling of the training room, fell straight down, and rushed towards the mutant warrior. These individuals were the high-rank warrior guards responsible for the security of Lower Origin Capital City.

The newly arrived mechanical warriors quickly set up protection devices around Ren Zhong, then turned and aimed high-temperature flame throwers at the black creature, spewing flames.

Amidst endless, heartrending screams, the mutant warrior finally died miserably, leaving only a pool of black ash and a specially structured crystal badge behind.

Ren Zhong stepped forward, picked up the badge, and upon looking up, he remarkably saw a huge "Tang" character on the badge.

A nearby guard in full-body armor approached, "Mr. Ren, please hand it over to me."

Ren Zhong frowned, "I refuse. I am the party involved. According to relevant laws, this is my trophy, my personal wealth, and I have the right to decide how to dispose of this evidence."

The guard shook his head, "Mr. Ren, this is an identity badge for a top family, with information storage ability, excellent resistance to high temperatures and impacts. Usually issued to core members of the family for identity confirmation in case of an accident. It belongs to the Association's assets, and you have no right to keep it. In the past, our weapons couldn't even fire when aimed at the badge wearer."

After hearing this, Ren Zhong sighed helplessly, "Alright, here you go."

After the guard left, Gao Ya, protected by two bodyguards on either side, stepped forward curiously, "I recognize that item. It's something from the Tanggu Group family. It indicates this assassin was from the Tanggu Group. Did you call the wrong name when you shouted Hugh Augustus just now?"

Ren Zhong turned his head, looking at Gao Ya with a playful gaze, retorting, "Do you genuinely believe Tang Xiangyun has the capability and courage to arrange an assassin so quickly to take me out?"

Gao Ya was stunned, "Then…"

Ren Zhong smirked, "It's just a boring framing tactic. He probably knows he can't hide this from me, but he doesn't care. He's simply making contingency plans in case of failure, giving himself an excuse. This excuse isn't for me, but for other enterprises, including yours. He will use the existing conflict between me and Tang Xiangyun as a reason, slightly distancing the relationship and sowing discord between me and the Tanggu Group. The truth isn't important, what he wants is merely the appearance."

With just a few words, Ren Zhong had unravelled the situation.

Gao Ya listened in a daze.

After a while, she shook her head, thinking to herself it was no wonder her elders never considered letting her take over the enterprise.

The intricacies within these matters truly bewilder people.

Ren Zhong pulled off his training armor piece by piece, stretched lazily, "Alright, it's about time. Let's go to Alson Hotel."

One of Gao Ya's bodyguards squatted down to pick up the training armor from the ground, exclaiming, "This equipment is damaged due to overload. How is it possible…"

After speaking, the bodyguard raised his head to look at Ren Zhong.

By that time, Ren Zhong had already walked away alongside Gao Ya.

The bodyguard observed Ren Zhong's walking posture and physique from behind.

Until the two and another bodyguard walked far away, the bodyguard quickly got up and chased after them, secretly sending a message to Gao Ya via the Wrist watch.

"Ren Zhong just used a biological potion that can unleash potential, exhibiting Armored Soldier level strength with an ordinary person's body. He should still be experiencing the potion's side effects now."

While casually chatting with Ren Zhong and planning what to discuss in the upcoming meeting, Gao Ya froze on the spot, staring dazedly at Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong continued to speak to himself, "Although I know the assassin has no real connection with Tanggu Group, I will still communicate about it with the negotiators sent by the Tanggu Group later, at least to remotely knock some sense into Tang Xiangyun, preventing him from reaching the point of mortal enmity with me. After all, the Tang's badge did appear, and I need an explanation. I can also take advantage of this to demand more benefits from Tanggu Group. Do not ruin my efforts…"
