Chapter 814 - 814 They're Coming For Me
814 They’re Coming For Me
Seeing the burning gaze of a hound that had been hungry for three days when it saw delicious prey, Chu Nan helplessly rolled his eyes.
Why were these people from the Noctem Chamber of Commerce all like this?
From the first time he came into contact with Yu Tingfeng to this Jiggs, everyone would have this gaze when they saw their physical data monitoring report.
Alright, I admit that the huge change in my body is indeed very valuable for research, but do your eyes have to be so wide?
“About that… Chu Nan… Little Brother, you’re going to participate in the competition on Planet Tomrelle next, right?” Jiggs looked at Chu Nan with a burning gaze.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Then… that means you have to stay here for at least half a month?” Jiggs asked again.
“Yes, the competition will only last for half a month. I’ll go back after the competition.”
“Then how about you not be in a hurry to return to the Earth Federation? After participating in the competition, stay and cooperate with us to do some research. What do you think? Don’t worry, I’ll guarantee that you have perfect food and accommodation here. Moreover, I won’t ask you to help for no reason. In addition, I’ll pay you. I won’t ask you to do anything else. You only need to come like this every day and participate in some tests. Of course, if you’re willing…”
Seeing that Jiggs’ eyes were shining as he spoke, Chu Nan immediately understood what he was thinking and shook his head.
“No, I have to return after the competition. It’s impossible for me to stay. I still have many things to do in the Earth Federation. I still have to continue my studies in the Fortune Academy. In addition, I have an agreement with a Star-Grade Martial Artist from our Earth Federation. I have to return.”
In order to increase his persuasiveness, Chu Nan deliberately emphasized the words “Star-Grade Martial Artist”.
As expected, Jiggs immediately frowned after hearing this.
Even to the powerful Noctem Chamber of Commerce, Star-Grade Martial Artists were people that needed to be highly valued. To a genius young martial artist like Chu Nan, being able to interact with Star-Grade Martial Artists was something that he dreamed of. It was impossible for him to stay because of a little benefit temptation.
After thinking for a moment, Jiggs could only sigh helplessly.
“Sigh, I finally understand why that guy Tahm Kench looks so excited every time he mentions you. To that research maniac of his, you’re probably much more attractive to him than ten naked beauties.”
“What kind of analogy is this…” The corners of Chu Nan’s mouth twitched as he raised his hand to bid farewell to Jiggs, “Since the data has been gathered, I’ll leave first. Tomorrow is the day of the competition. I have to go back and prepare.”
Of course, Jiggs knew that to the current Chu Nan, this competition was much more important than anything else. It was not good to ask him to stay again, so he could only warmly send him out personally.
“Chu Nan, you should know that because there’s… a difference between the United States of Melaita and your Earth Federation, our Chamber of Commerce’s branch in the United States of Melaita is much larger than your Earth Federation’s branch. The various facilities, personnel, and so on are much more complete than the Earth Federation’s branch. If you cooperate with our research here, putting everything else aside, the reward we can provide will be much greater than yours at Tahm Kench. Therefore, look…”
As Jiggs sent Chu Nan out, he continuously explained the benefits of assisting the research institute.
Unfortunately, no matter how much Jiggs spoke, Chu Nan did not say anything.
At this moment, the two of them had already walked to the door of the branch office. Seeing that he was about to separate from Chu Nan, he was anxious. He thought for a moment and made up his mind before saying, “Chu Nan, if you’re willing to stay, no matter what reward Tahm Kench gives you, I can pay you twice…”
Just as he said this, Chu Nan had already opened the door. A thunderous commotion suddenly surged in and instantly interrupted Jiggs.
Jiggs was immediately stunned. He focused his gaze outside the door and was surprised to discover that a large group of people had already gathered outside the branch office. It filled the square outside the branch office and even the street beside it to the brim.
Not only that, Jiggs looked up and was shocked to discover that even the sky was densely filled with figures. At a casual count, there were at least a thousand people.
Of course, it was impossible for everyone to be a Void Break Martial Artist. However, other than some people who relied on their personal simple aircraft to float in the air, with a casual glance, he could see that at least a third of the people inside were completely floating in the air with their bodies.
In other words, at least a third of these people were Void Break Martial Artists!
There were more than 300 Void Break Martial Artists!
After seeing the situation clearly, Jiggs was shocked.
Although he was part of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and had usually come into contact with many high-end martial artists, and Void Break Martial Artists were not important in his eyes, seeing so many Void Break Martial Artists at once still shocked him.
Moreover, why were so many Void Break Martial Artists blocking the branch office?
Could it be that they were dissatisfied with the Noctem Chamber of Commerce? Was this another group incident targeting the Noctem Chamber of Commerce?
Thinking of this, Jiggs’s expression could not help but change.
Although the Noctem Chamber of Commerce was one of the three great factions in the Milky Way, the weakest link under their name was martial artists.
As the branch office of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce on Planet Tomrelle, although there was a certain defense facility here, it was impossible for it to block so many powerful Void Break Martial Artists.
Most importantly, with so many people gathered here, logically speaking, the government of Planet Tomrelle should have reacted to such a bad incident long ago, but he did not receive any information in advance.
In other words, this operation might have already obtained the tacit approval of the government of Planet Tomrelle!
Jiggs’s expression changed again. He lowered his head and planned to open his personal terminal to question the highest-ranking officials of the Star Government.
If this was really something that the government of Planet Tomrelle had tacitly agreed to, it might turn into a serious diplomatic incident between the United States of Melaita and the Noctem Chamber of Commerce.
Unexpectedly, just as he moved, Chu Nan suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him.
“Director Jiggs, don’t panic. These guys should be coming for me.”
“Hmm?” Jiggs looked at Chu Nan in surprise and saw that he had already walked out toward the group of people outside.
As if to verify Chu Nan’s words, the dense crowd outside the branch office was originally extremely noisy. However, when Chu Nan walked out of the door, everyone’s gazes focused on him and the scene instantly fell silent.
However, a moment later, an even louder commotion sounded again, instantly drowning the space outside the branch office.
