Ling Chen frowned and said, "What exactly does he intend to do?"
"I’m not entirely sure, but rest assured, I’ve already contacted Falcon Company in Beijing. Coincidentally, the security for that private research organization is handled by Falcon Company, which is very convenient for our operation."
"Have any experts been dispatched over there? Zhu Hong alone is not a concern, but we must be wary of Chen Quan by his side."
"You don’t need to worry about that; I’ve already inford Officer Xia. Zhu Hong is now an A-level fugitive, and as long as he dares to show himself, the police won’t let him slip away. By then, Beijing will dispatch police support. Even if Chen Quan is a Heavenly List expert, he can’t possibly compete against bullets." Pausing for a mont, Hu Fei continued, "Anyway, Zhu Hong and Chen Quan hold no value for us. If they’re dead, so be it. We just need to get hold of that severed limb."
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, I leave this matter entirely to you. I just asked the doctor, and with my current condition, it looks like I’ll need to recuperate for another week before discharge."
"No problem, just focus on healing; we’ll handle the rest." At this point, Hu Fei seed to recall sothing and spoke again, "Oh yes! There’s another matter, not sure if they ntioned it to you. The Heavenly chanism Arts Hall has recently had a lot of big moves, and they’re all aid at Dragon Tiger Hall."
"Is that so? They didn’t tell ."
"Probably because your health hasn’t recovered yet, Elder Tong and the others didn’t want you to worry and kept it from you."
"Are you clear on the details?"
"Longhu Martial Arts Hall isn’t under my purview. I just heard that the Heavenly chanism Arts Hall convinced people from the martial arts association to host an exchange competition, with participants from major martial arts academies across the country. However, everyone knows the real stars of the competition are the Heavenly chanism Arts Hall and Dragon Tiger Hall. Additionally, it seems the Heavenly chanism Arts Hall proposed to reorganize the martial arts association, establish a committee, and comprehensively manage all martial arts academies nationwide. In the future, whether establishing an academy or founding a branch, approval from the martial arts association will be required."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed. The proposal from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion speaks for itself. They are used to being high and mighty, wanting to be the overlord in the martial arts world, and now in operating martial arts academies, they intend to dominate as well. Once the martial arts association is reorganized, the power it holds will be imnse, and the Heavenly chanism Pavilion will surely find ways to control the martial arts association, thereby restricting Dragon Tiger Hall’s developnt.
Tsk tsk!
It’s undeniable; the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s idea is clever. If they succeed, the developnt prospects for Dragon Tiger Hall are indeed worrying.
"Fatty, how do they plan to restructure the martial arts association?"
"That I don’t know; you need to ask Elder Tong and the others for specifics. However, for now, you don’t need to worry too much about it. Elder Tong, with his age and experience, will certainly figure out a solution."
"Got it, I’ll give Elder Tong a call and ask at that ti."
After seeing off Hu Fei, Ling Gengqiu nearby asked, "Do you think the actions of Heavenly chanism Pavilion are related to Su Cheng’en and the others?"
"There definitely is a connection, but we don’t have evidence to prove it. And even if we had evidence, what could be done? Su i has beco smarter now; she won’t openly help Su Cheng’en and Su He but will secretly create trouble for our Dragon Tiger Hall to ensure Su Cheng’en can deal with them in peace."
"If that’s the case, why not directly eliminate Heavenly chanism Pavilion?" Ling Gengqiu suggested, "Just let make a move; I guarantee solving them quietly."
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "No, we can’t do that. Everyone in martial arts knows about the open and covert fights between Heavenly chanism Pavilion and Dragon Tiger Hall. If Heavenly chanism Pavilion were suddenly eliminated, they would surely suspect us. Moreover, if we did that, how would we be any different from Heavenly chanism Pavilion? Even if we want to compete, it’s about defeating them openly and fairly, not using underhanded ans. Besides, what Heavenly chanism Pavilion is doing now is exactly what I hope for."
"What do you an by that?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly, "Competition brings progress. It’s the right ti to use Heavenly chanism Pavilion to reshape the entire martial arts world."
"Your idea is good, but the key is, if you can’t achieve ultimate victory, it’s all for nothing."
"I know, which is precisely why competition becos fun. Otherwise, if one only seeks victory by any ans, what’s the point? Don’t you think?"
"You’re right. Okay, since you don’t want to get involved, I won’t ddle."
After resting for a while, Ling Chen’s mind returned to what Hu Fei ntioned, Heavenly chanism Pavilion... Su i, I hope you don’t beco another Su He, otherwise, I will have no choice but to act harshly.
After contemplating for a mont, Ling Chen took out his phone and dialed Tong Zhentian’s number. Although Tong Zhentian would handle it, he still felt uneasy. After all, this matter involves the future of Dragon Tiger Hall and must be treated seriously.
Before long, the call connected, and Tong Zhentian’s voice ca through, "Your call is quite tily; we just finished the eting."
"Were you worrying about the matter of the martial arts association?"
"You found out?" Tong Zhentian replied with a hint of surprise.
"Fatty just ca to see and ntioned it. Elder Tong, why didn’t you tell about such an important matter?"
"Didn’t want to disturb your rest. So, what’s your take on the matter?"
"Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s goal is clear, aiming to restrict the developnt of Dragon Tiger Hall. Elder Tong, did you co up with a strategy during your eting earlier?"
"It’s a bit problematic." Tong Zhentian said in a deep voice, "Things aren’t as simple as we thought. Restructuring the martial arts association is sothing I look forward to. However, Heavenly chanism Pavilion proposed establishing a committee with nine representatives from the martial arts community, and every major decision in the association must pass through committee voting. We’re now troubled by the issue of the committee mbers’ slots. Representatives from the martial arts community must be people of influence within the martial world, a field in which our Dragon Tiger Hall falls short compared to Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He understood Tong Zhentian’s point; the most respected figure in Dragon Tiger Hall was Tong Zhentian himself, and besides him, there were few people of influence in the martial world. Once the committee is established, Dragon Tiger Hall’s control of the slots will certainly be inferior to Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Consequently, Dragon Tiger Hall will face comprehensive suppression.
This is a big problem!
"Elder Tong, do you have any ideas?"
"There are a few revered elders in the martial world, and they’ve received invitations to join the committee. If we can gain their support, perhaps we have a chance to compete with Heavenly chanism Pavilion. However, I’m now worried about another issue."
