Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 962 - 482-2
It seemed as if the earth-shattering clash just now had never happened.
The hotel suite, however, was in complete disarray.
The wind blew through the tattered curtains, carrying the noisy sounds of alarms and screams from outside into the ears.
"What was it that just exploded?!"
"Someone’s launched a terrorist attack? Call the police! No, run for it!"
Obviously, all the guests in the entire hotel were jolted awake by this violent commotion and plunged into panic.
The members of the Chen Family were all dumbfounded, frozen in place, unable to move.
They stared at the shattered floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the chaotic city night scene outside.
Fear still lingered on their faces, even their breathing was rough and heavy.
One of the Elders trembled as he crawled up from the ground, muttering to himself:
"Xu’an... where did you get that monster from..."
Chen Xu’an was even more shocked, his hands involuntarily clenched tightly.
He couldn’t imagine that human strength alone could reach such a heaven-defying level.
This had already gone beyond his understanding of "power users."
"My God, what has Fang Cheng been eating? He seems to get stronger each time, could he be evolving..."
Pan Wendi’s mouth was agape wide enough to fit an egg, his eyes filled with fervent admiration.
Bai Ling was covering her mouth tightly, her wide eyes sparkling like stars, murmuring softly:
"Big brother, you are so cool..."
Lin Chuqiao was the first to come back to her senses, her shoulders slightly trembled as she suddenly realized something.
Without any hesitation, she rushed to the broken floor-to-ceiling window, looking down with her face full of worry.
On the street, several cars had collided, their alarms blaring wildly in the night.
Broken glass and building debris were scattered everywhere, resembling a disaster movie scene.
In the center of the wreckage, a naked man with bulging muscles was slowly getting up.
His feet stepped over the glass shards, his skin still carried faint traces of golden light and blood marks.
As if sensing something, Fang Cheng slowly raised his head.
His deep and calm eyes were in stark contrast to his earth-shattering ferocious stance just moments ago.
Their eyes met, silently intersecting in the night sky.
Seeing him unscathed, Lin Chuqiao finally let go of her held breath.
She placed her hand on her heaving chest, exhaled a long sigh of relief, her face breaking into a genuine smile.
Recalling Fang Cheng leaping into the night sky and launching his sudden attack, her heart felt a lingering sense of fear but also unconsciously swelled with pride at this powerful and dependable man.
A deadly silence enveloped the hotel room following the chaos.
Only then did everyone seem to come back to life, the sounds of heavy breaths rising and falling.
They looked at each other, their hearts still pounding, and whispered among themselves.
In each other’s eyes, they could see the relief after surviving a disaster and deep-seated horror.
Lin Chuqiao stood at the large broken window opening, the night breeze brushing against her long black hair.
Her gaze was tightly locked on the figure of that man below, unwilling to look away.
Fang Cheng was sprinting rapidly down the street, leaping over several vehicles blocking the road, and vanished with a few bounds into the neon-lit city night.
"Phew—"
Chen Xu’an exhaled a heavy breath, forcibly calming his stirred emotions, then stepped forward and softly asked:
"Miss Chu, has that... demon already been repelled by Mr. Bai?"
His voice carried a slight tremor, and despite his efforts to control it, he couldn’t hide his complex emotions.
Everything they had experienced tonight was too bizarre.
First, witnessing his grandfather resurrect from the fire and rampage recklessly.
Then, the Evil Spirit was destroyed, the demon possessed, leaving everyone trapped in a strange illusion, nearly giving in.
Finally, they witnessed a confrontation of unimaginable strength.
Such ups and downs, twists and turns, made Chen Xu’an feel like he was living in a dream, finding it all somewhat unreal.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqiao turned around and saw all the Chen Family had focused their attention on her, so she nodded slightly.
"That thing was trying to use Chen Qiming’s body as a coordinate to descend here in its true form."
Her face had lost the earlier concern, her expression returning to her usual calmness.
"Now the spatial passage has been destroyed, and the vessel no longer exists, it has temporarily lost its means to come over."
Saying this, Lin Chuqiao paused a bit, her tone carrying a hint of apology and regret:
"However, I’m afraid your younger brother has already met with misfortune..."
The expressions of everyone changed slightly, involuntarily recalling the horrific scene of flesh and blood flying, and blood rain filling the sky.
For a moment, their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.
They didn’t know whether to feel fortunate that someone successfully repelled the terrifying enemy.
Or to resent that the opponent showed no mercy, allowing one of their family members to be blown apart, dying on the spot.
Chen Xu’an’s eyes flashed with profound sorrow, but he quickly suppressed this emotion, slowly shaking his head.
"This isn’t your fault, my third brother had this disaster in his life, perhaps he had already died the moment he was possessed by that Evil Spirit."
He took a deep breath, formally cupping his hands towards Lin Chuqiao and the others:
"Moreover, you have eradicated the culprit, avenging my third brother and solving a major looming disaster for our Chen Family, saving us from annihilation."
"This kindness, I, Chen Xu’an, as well as the entire Chen Family, shall never forget and will definitely repay in the future!"
His words were sincere and moving, prompting the other Chen Family Elders to nod in agreement, their hesitation dissipating.
Lin Chuqiao gracefully accepted the gratitude, then her expression became solemn.
"The follow-up handling will have to trouble your Chen Family."
She glanced around, changing the subject, continuing:
"That demon’s plan was thwarted by us, it will surely not give up easily."
"Perhaps in the future, it might target your Chen Family in other ways, so you must prepare ahead to deal with it."
These words reinstated the fear in the hearts of the Chen Family, recalling the shocking battle scene earlier.
The mere descent of consciousness had overwhelmed them, stripping their courage, not even daring to resist.
If not for Mr. Bai’s intervention, everyone present might have already been dead.
Lin Chuqiao paused, taking in their fearful expressions before presenting her real motives.
"There’s another matter. We hope you can keep our team’s identity and everything that happened tonight a secret and not disclose anything to the outside world."
"This is beneficial for both your Chen Family and us. Otherwise, if the news leaks, the troubles it invites might be more than your Chen Family can bear."
Her tone was calm, seemingly giving a friendly reminder, yet her words carried a subtle hint of threat.
"If you can manage that, should that organization claiming to be the ’Ideal Land’ cause trouble again, considering tonight’s bond, it’s not impossible for us to step in once more."
Her words were a mix of soft and hard tactics, balancing grace with power.
Especially with Fang Cheng’s terrifying display of strength, it thoroughly convinced the Chen Family, causing them to weigh Lin Chuqiao’s request carefully.
Chen Xu’an was inwardly pleased upon hearing this, immediately understanding her implication.
This order not only served as a gag but also promised a chance to connect with this group of mysterious strong beings.
He quickly nodded, earnestly assuring:
"Rest assured, Miss Chu, tonight’s events are known only to the heavens, the earth, you, and me."
"I, Chen Xu’an, as the future Family Head of the Chen Family, hereby vow, should there be any leaks, may I face divine retribution!"
He then added, seemingly feeling it wasn’t enough:
"Our Chen Family holds shares in this hotel, I’ll personally handle all surveillance footage, ensuring no traces are left."
"You thought it through very well."
Lin Chuqiao nodded approvingly, pleased with Chen Xu’an’s awareness of the situation.
At this moment, the piercing sound of sirens drew closer from the street, becoming clearer.
Evidently, the police had received the hotel’s alarm and were rushing over.
Perhaps the Special Search Team stationed in Cui City would also come upon hearing the news.
Chen Xu’an saw this and immediately said:
"You should leave first, my Chen Family will handle this, ensuring everything is foolproof."
Lin Chuqiao said no more, signaling to Bai Ling and Pan Wendi behind her.
All three swiftly moved, quickly leaving the hotel suite and withdrawing from this trouble spot.
