The Interdimensional Reseller – CH194

Chapter 194

An earthquake had struck the capital, and the military was in total chaos. Although they had predicted an earthquake, disclosing the information didn’t seem to have reduced the damage much.

No one had expected the earthquake to be this severe.

Overnight, more than 30 million people had died due to the earthquake and monster attacks, and the number was still rising.

“Miss Shen, take a look at this.”

Shen Yutong looked at the footage and said in shock, “Who released this?”

“Director Wang Zai of the Ministry of Propaganda.”

The footage of Chu Feng killing the Wolf King had been fully captured on camera. After a quick edit, the video was uploaded to video-sharing sites. Within just two hours, it had reached over 10 million views.

The video was widely shared, and many groups were discussing it.

“Damn, that was amazing! That’s the style of a high-level wind-type ability-user.”

“Who is this guy? He looks kind of familiar.”

“This is the guy people online were calling the ‘pretty boy boyfriend of the Snow Country Prince’!”

“He’s way too cool to be a ‘pretty boy’! You people are blind.”

“You were all saying before that Illya was just clinging to a rich guy—nonsense. Clearly, what she admires is his strength.”

“Car-slicer! That must be the legendary car-slicer! He finally showed up!”

“Oh, I get it—Goddess Feixue was filming there as a guest star. He must have been there to save her—a real romantic hero!”

“What nonsense is that? Chu Feng and Feixue are siblings. Siblings, okay?”

“He’s the second young master of the Chu family, the one who was switched at birth. Who knew he’d be this powerful?”

“Now that you mention it, Zhuang Cheng was kidnapped once, but came home unharmed. The Zhuang family even denied it ever happened. Looking back, those kidnappers probably got… sliced.”

“Definitely got sliced. +1.”

“+10086 they got sliced.”

“Wrong person to kidnap…”

All sorts of information on Chu Feng were dug up, and many past events were re-analyzed. To be fair, sharp-eyed netizens actually uncovered quite a bit.

Shen Yuxing frowned. “I knew it. I knew Chu Feng had to be an ability-user.”

“Minister Shen, your foresight is truly incredible. But that also means… our detection equipment might be flawed.”

Shen Yuxing frowned deeper. “The equipment works fine for normal ability-users. The problem must lie with Chu Feng.”

An assistant beside her cautiously said, “Judging by this level of power, he’s probably reached S-rank. Maybe when an ability reaches a certain level, it becomes undetectable.”

Shen Yutong took a deep breath. “That’s possible. Chu Feng only acted to save Zhuang Feixue.”

Shen Yuxing furrowed her brow again. “Chu Feng’s always kept a low profile. He clearly treats Zhuang Feixue very differently.”

This probably wasn’t the first time Chu Feng had rescued someone, but in the past, things had always been kept under wraps. This time, though, he stepped forward openly and boldly.

“After all, that’s his sister.”

Shen Yuxing nodded and said, “That’s true.”

“A lot of people online are speculating that the person who kidnapped Zhuang Cheng was cut up.”

Shen Yutong thought to herself: That’s definitely possible. Back then, they collected a lot of blood at the scene—someone must’ve been seriously injured.

“Any news from Chu Feng’s side?” Shen Yutong asked.

“Zhuang Feixue is helping contact the shareholders of Rongtian Tower. Chu Feng seems interested in acquiring it.”

Shen Yuxing frowned. “He wants to buy an entire building?”

“Seems like it.”

Shen Yuxing furrowed his brows. “Does Chu Feng have that kind of money?”

“It seems he plans to trade elixirs and potions for ownership of the building. As for actual funds, he probably has those too.”

Shen Yuxing stood up. “Using elixirs and potions? Aren’t they out of stock?”

The last batch they got from Chu Feng was already gone, and there were plenty of people at the bureau waiting for more.

“He probably has new stock now. Didn’t he select a bunch of herbs from here last time?” the assistant said.

Shen Yutong frowned and thought: Were all those potions and elixirs made in just the past few days? If so, the pharmacist backing Chu Feng must be extremely efficient! Chu Feng even said the Bureau would get priority access—looks like he forgot everything the moment he saw a building!

“Do you know when the meeting is scheduled?”

“Looks like it’s tomorrow. Chu Feng wants to close the deal quickly, and those investors are all drooling over his potions.” In these chaotic times, physical-enhancing potions were more valuable than ever.

Shen Yutong said doubtfully, “Why would Chu Feng suddenly want a building?”

“Who knows. Maybe he wants to start a company. Isn’t he tied to the Zhuang family? Maybe he wants to make a statement to them.”

Shen Yuxing nodded. “Maybe.”
…
At the Li household—

Li Chengye walked into Li Chengjia’s room holding an invitation.

“Brother, you called for me?”

“Chengjia, there’s a limit to sulking. It’s time to pull yourself together.” Li Chengye looked at Li Chengjia’s miserable state and shook his head.

Li Chengjia wiped his face. “I know.”

Earlier, in a moment of desperation, Li Chengjia had broken off his engagement with Zhuang Ming, leading to a fallout between the Li and Zhuang families. Since then, the family had been unhappy with him. He later tried to propose to Zhuang Feixue despite their disapproval, but was rejected.

After the rejection, he fell into a slump, locking himself away and drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

“This recent earthquake heavily impacted two of our real estate projects. The losses were serious. If we can’t overcome this hurdle, we’re in trouble.”

Li Chengjia frowned. “It was a natural disaster—hard to avoid.” Many corporations in the capital had suffered heavily from the quake, not just the Li family.

“True, but while many suffered, others got lucky. Anyway, Zhuang Feixue sent over an invitation.” Li Chengye said.

Li Chengjia frowned. “Zhuang Feixue? What did she say?”

“Chu Feng wants to purchase the entire Rongtian Tower. Our Li family has shares in it, so she sent an invite.”

“Chu Feng…” Li Chengjia’s expression shifted. That name had been mentioned in front of him many times.

“The Zhuang family really is lucky, to have someone like Chu Feng. His abilities are terrifying, and he holds various rare potions. He even seems connected to a powerful pharmaceutical-type ability-user.”

Although the Zhuang family took a hit in the earthquake, with Chu Feng around, they’d recover easily. The Bureau of Abilities had also been very interested in Chu Feng and wanted to build ties with him.

Li Chengjia’s face changed again. Back then, it was his broken engagement with Zhuang Ming that led to the revelation of Feixu’s true identity, which in turn exposed Chu Feng.

“Chu Feng’s become quite famous now.”

When Chu Feng’s identity was revealed, Li Chengjia hadn’t thought much of him—thinking that even if he was truly a Chu family member, after years away, he’d never fit back into their circle.

But now, Li Chengjia hadn’t expected Chu Feng to become so formidable.

Li Chengye nodded. “Chu Feng seems to be an S-rank ability-user. The world has changed—now, instead of status or wealth, people talk about abilities.”

With his powers exposed, people online were even calling Chu Feng a god.

“He wants to buy Rongtian Tower—does he have the funds?” Li Chengjia asked.

Li Chengye shook his head. “No, but that’s not an issue. Zhuang Feixue’s letter mentioned he’d use potions, elixirs, or gold to trade. And if cash is needed, that can be arranged.”

Li Chengjia nodded. “I see.”

Li Chengye frowned in thought: The Zhuang family’s first and second branches don’t get along. The child-swapping incident years ago was likely related to Zhuang Zhenhua’s family. Chu Feng’s relationship with the second branch is unclear, but with the first branch, it’s definitely bad. So, maybe Chengjia canceling the engagement with Zhuang Ming was for the best.

After all, no one wants an S-rank enemy hanging over their head.

Chu Feng and Zhuang Zhenyang don’t seem to get along—but he treats Zhuang Feixue quite well. Anyone who can win her heart would really be landing a huge advantage.

The next day, Zhuang Feixue and Zhuang Cheng drove to Rongtian Tower. She brought two lawyers and an assistant.

Zhuang Cheng looked at her and asked, “Sis, Second Brother isn’t here yet? He’s not going to stand us up, is he?”

Zhuang Feixue frowned. “Probably not. I just called him—he’s probably not up yet.”

Zhuang Cheng nodded. “Makes sense. It only takes them a minute to get here. They can sleep in. I want that too.”

Zhuang Feixue: “…”
Zhuang Cheng wants such powerful abilities… just to sleep in longer?

Zhuang Feixue’s phone rang. “Chu Feng said they’ve arrived at the lobby.”

Zhuang Cheng: “…” Having supernatural powers really is an advantage! Latecomers can still come out on top.

Zhuang Feixue led Zhuang Cheng and the others to the lobby.

Chu Feng glanced at Zhuang Cheng and asked curiously, “Why are you here? Just came to watch the show?”

Zhuang Cheng: “…” Here we go again. In the past, Chu Feng would at least pretend to be nice in front of his sister, but now he’s completely dropped the act.

Zhuang Cheng replied gloomily, “I’m here to help you.”

Chu Feng put his hands on his hips and said, “You’re a minor, still at the age where you need a guardian. What kind of help can you provide?”

Zhuang Cheng: …

Zhuang Feixue glanced at Zhuang Cheng and explained, “Chu Feng, Xiao Cheng studies economics and interned at a company for a while. He might actually be able to help.”

Chu Feng nodded. “Alright then, let’s go.”

Chu Feng teleported ahead of the group to the parking lot. There were quite a few luxury cars parked there—many of them top-tier brands. Chu Feng figured the people he was looking for had likely already arrived. They were all big bosses and seemed to be quite punctual.
