The vast Anshan City was of deathly stillness.

On the streets, not even a shadow of a person or a ghost could be seen. The shops along the road had their doors tightly closed, with occasional whispers heard.

"It seems quiet outside, should we go check it out?"

"Are you crazy? What if something bad happens? What can we do with our small bodies?"

"True, but what happened anyway? Why is there such a big commotion at the City Lord’s Mansion?"

"How would I know? We shouldn’t worry about things that don’t concern us. Even if the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it up."

"But what if the tall ones can’t hold it up?"

"Then we all perish together."

Chen Fan reached the door of the Awakened Association and knocked. Only then did someone cautiously come to open it.

"Brother Chen, did you just come back from outside the city?"

asked the person who opened the door.

"Yes, why?" Chen Fan replied with a smile.

"Didn’t encounter any danger, did you? There was such a huge commotion on the mountaintop just now, it was terrifying."

The woman patted her chest, looking extremely shaken.

Just as Chen Fan was about to say something, his phone rang. It was Sun Wei calling, probably after seeing him through the hall’s camera.

"Hello, Chairman."

"Brother Chen, you’re back? Are you alright?"

Sun Wei asked.

"I’m fine, Chairman. Did you need something?"

"Yes, come to the conference room on the third floor. There’s something important to discuss. Everyone’s here."

"Alright."

Chen Fan hung up the phone without surprise. This was just the beginning. When news of Yan Ming and the others’ deaths spread, that would be the real shock for Anshan City.

Upon entering the conference room, Xu Jie, Tu Yue, and the others were already waiting.

"Brother Chen, did you just come back?"

"Didn’t encounter any danger, did you? The commotion on the mountaintop earlier was terrifying."

"Yes, it felt like an earthquake!"

They all spoke one after another.

"Yes, I noticed it too while outside. I worried about running into trouble, so I didn’t come in immediately."

Chen Fan found an empty seat and asked Sun Wei, "Chairman, what exactly happened?"

With these words, everyone turned their gaze to him.

Sun Wei shook his head solemnly, "I’m not sure exactly what happened. The earthquake-like feeling was likely Ma Sheng’s doing. The other Awakeners couldn’t cause such a commotion."

"Right, his superpower is gravity. He loves crushing people with it. Before, I’ve seen him crush several High-level Fierce Beasts into meat patties from the city wall."

"So he was fighting someone? But even then, there was no need for such a huge commotion."

"Yeah, those who don’t know would think it was a beast invasion."

Chen Fan listened, appearing puzzled.

In reality, no one paid much attention to him,

After all, he hadn’t been here long and didn’t know about those C-level Awakeners, which was quite normal.

Some even patiently explained the situation to him.

"Chairman, it’s been almost ten minutes with no activity from the mountaintop. Should we go check it out?"

Xu Jie licked his lips, feeling like something was clawing at his heart.

"I think we better not."

Tu Yue frowned, "We never got along with the City Lord’s Mansion. We can’t even approach halfway up the mountain normally. If this commotion was just them playing around, we’d humiliate ourselves."

"I agree with Tu Yue. Chairman, we should watch and see," Gao Shan said.

"Yes, I think we should stay cautious too."

Sun Wei nodded, "Maybe we’re overthinking. Nothing might have happened after all."

The mountaintop has the strongest guard force in Anshan City, not to mention several C-level Awakeners living there.

If someone wanted trouble with Yan Ming, they wouldn’t choose such a place,

"Even though we don’t know what happened, we must be careful for the next few days. If something really happened to Yan Ming, we can’t handle those people."

Sun Wei spoke sternly, sweeping his gaze over everyone present.

"Understood!"

"We will be careful, Chairman."

Chen Fan echoed, laughing inwardly.

They would never guess that the "culprit" was sitting right among them.

"Good, be careful. This emergency meeting is over. Others can leave now. Brother Chen, stay a moment," Sun Wei said.

Xu Jie and the others glanced at Chen Fan and then left.

Chen Fan’s heart sank. Had he celebrated too soon?

Had the Chairman noticed something?

But that shouldn’t be possible; he hadn’t left any evidence.
