Chapter 4099: Chapter 4118: If You Dare to Make a Move, I’ll Flip the Table
"I’ll repeat it once more, Vice Director Luo. Though you hold a prestigious position, you cannot casually slander a law-abiding citizen."
Lin Chen leisurely replied, "Your child is in trouble, then you should go to the Inspection Bureau for an investigation, and not come asking me. I’m about to be expelled, forced to leave Planet 11, what advice can I possibly give you?"
Luo Chenglin fell silent.
With just a few words, he had fully confirmed that it was indeed Lin Chen who captured his son.
"Lin Chen, you’re pushing me. Since I can expel you, I can also make sure none of you can ever leave..."
Lin Chen calmly responded, "Since you chose to expel us, you must be aware of our background. Our people are quite barbaric, quick to turn to violence, ending in either your death or mine."
"You issued an expulsion order for no reason, I can take a step back. But if you intend to take action, then we won’t sit idly by and wait for death. Worst case, we’ll be outlaws in the Federation; with our abilities, I believe we can live quite well."
"Sure, the Federation has many strong individuals, but not many who can catch us easily. If I’m forced to become a wanted criminal by the Federation, I don’t mind hitting you with a few big moves. Can you handle that?"
Previously, Lin Chen was hiding his true intentions, but now he had laid it all bare, his words exuded the aura of a fierce bandit.
Want to play?
Then let’s play big, let’s bet our lives!
Let’s see who dies first!
Luo Chenglin felt numb.
Was this guy really this arrogant?
Not many in the Federation can take them down?
Thinking carefully, it seemed true. Their entire family possesses the Star Sky Jump ability, able to cross star systems in an instant, how can they be caught?
As for blockading?
In the city, forcefully capturing a large group of desperate powerhouses, how many deaths and injuries would occur from that?
If irreversible damage was caused, even if Lin Chen and his people were eventually caught, who would bear the responsibility for the losses?
The Director, that Old man, is just waiting for me to make a mistake, so he can blame me. Would he give up such an opportunity?
He’s eagerly hoping that I and the Tianheng Group fight until both sides are exhausted.
He can certainly choose to remain tough, but he has no basis for his stance.
If nothing comes of this, naturally no one would bother him. But if a huge incident occurs, someone will naturally investigate the truth, and if I expel without cause or forcibly detain them leading to resistance and a huge accident, there’s no way I could escape the consequences.
Luo Chenglin remained silent.
Lin Chen was unfazed, "Vice Director Luo, you’re a busy man. If there’s nothing else, I won’t waste your precious time. After all, you have to find a way to save your child quickly, he might be bleeding out somewhere deserted right now, waiting for you to rescue him."
Luo Chenglin suddenly panicked, was his son undergoing torture, his life hanging by a thread?
Luo Chenglin took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and his speech became much more gentle.
"Mr. Lin, my child is missing, and I was a bit agitated. My earlier words were presumptuous and inappropriate, I apologize to you, please understand."
Was he conceding?
Lin Chen calmly replied, "I sympathize with your son’s predicament, and I understand what you, as a father, must be feeling right now, so I accept your apology."
Luo Chenglin continued, "As I reviewed previous documents, I noticed some work errors, Mr. Lin and others’ stay on Planet 11 is completely in accordance with the regulations, without any problems. The expulsion order issued to you was an operational error, I will immediately demand they rectify it."
Lin Chen sneered, "Rectify, but I was frightened by this brutal expulsion order, you know? Last night, our whole family couldn’t sleep well, we were very worried..."
Luo Chenglin inwardly cursed in frustration, but with his son in their hands, what can he do?
Let his son die?
The most important thing is, even if his son dies, he has no evidence it was Lin Chen and his people who did it.
He could certainly use his power, mobilize many strong individuals to band together and capture Lin Chen and his group, force them to tell the truth, but with these maniacs who are willing to upend everything at a moment’s notice, can they really be forced to submit?
Perhaps they won’t submit, only respond more crazily.
They are here one moment, gone the next, one second in the East District One, the next in the West Eighth District, the next they’ve finished killing, appearing on an uninhabited outer space planet.
How to stop such people?
"Mr. Lin, this was an oversight of the Martial Arts Management Bureau. I apologize to you, we will immediately release a notice to correct the previous mistakes, and I assure you there won’t be such events in the future."
Lin Chen pondered for two seconds, "Alright, considering Vice Director Luo’s sincerity, I’ll accept your apology."
Luo Chenglin said nothing more, and spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin, then I won’t disturb you any further."
Luo Chenglin didn’t ask more about his son. Since Lin Chen said so, his son is surely alright, probably just endured some hardship, otherwise, Lin Chen and his people would face Luo Chenglin’s rabid retaliation.
Luo Chenglin understood, Lin Chen and his group’s purpose in kidnapping his son was simply to warn him, don’t provoke them, or everyone will go their separate ways.
Internally, Luo Chenglin was resentful, but he was helpless.
This group was truly too extraordinary.
Their strength might not be the strongest, but their methods are unpredictable.
He even wondered, if these people directly targeted him, could he defend himself?
Even though he felt aggrieved, saving his son was of utmost importance, if anyone wants to deal with them, let them handle it, he won’t interfere anymore. He’ll keep this matter in mind, and when he has the chance, he’ll get back at them and avenge today’s humiliation.
Lin Chen didn’t know what Luo Chenglin was thinking, but even if he did, he wouldn’t care.
Every step of their journey, someone wanted to eliminate them, this incident was just a small affair.
Luo Chenglin wasn’t wrong; Lin Chen had really considered whether to target his son or directly target him.
Lin Chen had genuinely contemplated eliminating Luo Chenglin, and then having the Charming Erosion take his place, but such a move couldn’t last, and the Charming Erosion wasn’t willing to impersonate a middle-aged man living someone else’s life, so they finally chose his son.
If Luo Chenglin had really forced Lin Chen into a corner, Lin Chen wouldn’t hesitate to play big, and directly replace him.
The Charming Erosion may not be the strongest among them, but her unique ability could be extremely effective in the Federation, which is why Lin Chen had been keeping her hidden, not letting others know of her existence.
After all, a trump card is a hidden card, it should be kept well hidden!
If people knew about it, can it still be called a trump card?
