Sky-cracking Rider

Being able to sit in the position of the director of operations at Merman Brothers Consortium meant there wasn't a single individual who was simple-minded or prone to rash, impulsive behavior.

Colonel William Everson, seething with murderous intent as he and his men burst into the venue with guns, had never actually intended to shoot anyone to avenge his son, Reggie.

Honestly, getting beaten up and lying down for half a year is completely different from being maimed or even killed.

His actions were merely meant to scare the people at the Aircrew Base, hoping to see them embarrass themselves, terrified to the point of peeing their pants, and losing face utterly.

From another perspective, it was also meant to serve as a show of force.

But he had never expected to encounter a clueless rookie who would attempt suicide without a second thought the moment they disagreed.

Especially since he had just threatened the other party, now even if he was right, he would appear wrong.

"Ah! I'm dead!"

Chen Fei clutched his chest, staggered backwards several steps, then fell backwards.

Hanna Gagel covered her face, looking as if she couldn't believe what had happened and couldn't accept it, but actually she couldn't bear to look directly.

Such acting was so awkward it gave people goosebumps; if he tried to work in a film and television city, he might only be fit to play a corpse.

"No, no, it wasn't like that, I didn't, it was him, he did it to himself."

As the gunshot rang out, everyone's gaze focused on William Everson, as if to say, you are the murderer.

As the person in question, he was panicked beyond measure. He could not have imagined the young man would be so impulsive, not caring about his own life at all, grabbing the gun, stuffing it, and firing all in one go.

Caught off guard, William Everson was completely unprepared and if he hadn't been slightly alert, he might have reflexively pulled the trigger himself.

But now... it was all too late.

The pistol, still smoking, lay in his hand, the echo of the gunshot lingering, leaving him unable to deny it.

"Quick, go call someone, get a doctor!"

Someone shouted, though they didn't harbor much hope.

Being shot in the chest, even if it missed the heart, was likely fatal— the kinetic energy released by the bullet entering the body was enough to destroy delicate organs, causing irreparable fatal damage.

"Damn, who fired the shot, what's going on?"

"Damn it! What just happened!"

The veteran soldiers from the Aircrew Base forcefully rushed in just in time to see a dazed William Everson, Miss Hanna covering her face, and Chen Fei lying on the ground, motionless, clutching his chest.

Uh!~

What was this kid up to now?

The veterans were collectively dumbstruck; this rookie was really too much.

"Ah!~"

Chen Fei suddenly sat up straight.

He had played dead.

The close-range shot had nearly knocked the wind out of him.

He couldn't play around like this anymore.

"You, you-you..."

He almost scared Colonel Everson out of his wits.

"You shot at me?" Chen Fei bared his teeth, his expression suddenly becoming very frightening, and said, "You owe me a life!"

Pointing a gun muzzle at a college student in public, this old guy was even more obnoxious than his son.

"But you're not dead!"

Colonel Everson called out in frustration.

Damn it, it was really bizarre, clearly he had shot him in the chest, yet he was still able to play dead and come back to life.

"You fired at me, so I must return the favor!"

Chen Fei took advantage of the other's disarray, suddenly rushed forward, and snatched the pistol from his hand.

"Stop!"

"Don't mess around!"

"Put the gun down!"

Damn, what exactly was going on today.

The same gun, one moment you're pointing it at me, the next I'm pointing it at you, and it even fired, all because of a kid being beaten up and laid up for half a year—it was such a trivial matter, yet it ended up with guns drawn, was it necessary?

Ultimately, most of the people present were still siding with Merman Brothers Consortium, and the bias became clearly prevalent all of a sudden.

Previously, not many people had spoken up, not even the representatives from the Global United Defense Committee.

But now... truly disgusting behavior.

"Rookie, don't..."

The female executive manager finally realized what Chen Fei intended to do, but it was already too late to stop him.

BANG!~

A burst of blood exploded from Colonel Everson's chest, he looked down incredulously, slowly falling backwards, holding his chest in almost the exact same pose as Chen Fei had just done, with the details of his gaze, expression, and motion making his performance incredibly realistic.

Could it be anything but realistic!

It was so real that he was actually dead on the spot!

"Damn it, you killed Colonel Everson."

"Murderer, you're a murderer."

"Arrest him, he must pay with his life."

The unfair game had once again turned around.

Chen Fei didn't like the game at all, he really didn't like it.

He gripped the pistol backwards, leaving the handle completely free, and then signaled with it to everyone around.

"Whoever here is a little pussy and isn't happy can take this chance!"

Such a gesture, damage zero, insult 100%.

The crowd was infuriated, and the atmosphere of shared enmity suddenly fell silent.

No one dared to actually come to take the pistol, fire at the youth's heart, and then have the youth shoot them in the heart as well.

Who has an immortal body to dare play like this?

Damn, this kind of risking one's life was even more lethal than Russian roulette, survival rate 0, fatality rate 100%.

"Come on! All you little pussies, do your worst!"

Chen Fei gripped the pistol backward, using menacing glares to counter anyone who challenged him.

What the hell! Bring it on.

Manager Hanna Gagar was terrified watching this; it was simply crazy.

By provoking all representatives from Aircrew Base in this manner, even those from the United Defense Committee hadn't been spared.

"Hey, Rookie, that's enough, pull back while you can,"

Hanna Gagar quickly pressed down Chen Fei's arm. She had already noticed the increasingly ugly expressions on the faces of those present, even the face of Todd Philip, Vice President of the Meman Brothers Consortium.

Continuing to provoke like this could make these people really do something irrational.

"Kid, we at the Meman Brothers Consortium will remember you."

Vice President Todd Philip stared intensely at Chen Fei.

The public killing of the director of operations was a complete mess.

If we had to be exact with the blame, it would fall on Colonel William Everson for not supposed to have entered the meeting armed, pointing his gun at the other party, and crucially, shooting first, which was the biggest disadvantage since the other party could justify any actions as self-defense.

Ultimately, the love-driven Director of Operations had underestimated just how shameless the opposition was, willing to take a bullet just to eliminate his adversary.

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, come on, don't take it so seriously! If I were to send my resume to your side, would you accept it?"

Chen Fei ejected the magazine and clapped his hands together.

System: Ding! Absorption of Alloy Body 790 grams, component ratio: Iron 84%…

Physical Evolution Database (441), Category: Cold Weapon (7), Tool (95), Accessory (339)/Manage...

"…"

Vice President Todd Philip really wanted to refuse, but he simply didn't have the nerve, nor the courage to agree, his face going from red to white.

A talent reckless with human life is still a talent; if placed in the correct position, there would be no worry about his uncontrollable nature.

The other delegates were shocked by Chen Fei's shameless remarks.

Damn, killing the other side's director and then asking to submit a resume.

Is that even something a human does?!!!

Ah?!

The late Colonel William Everson: … It snows!

Manager Hanna Gagar continued to cover her face. When the Rookie has no shame, there's no bottom line.

"Hmph!~"

After countless thoughts whirled through his head and finally sorting it out, one page of a job application was basically no different than a harsh slap to the face. Vice President Todd Philip grimaced bitterly and walked away.

Initially, he had planned to speak at the start of the meeting, but now, he didn't even want to stay a moment longer.

Hanna Gagar shook her head. Chen Fei's words were a jest from the start. It would have been another matter if he were a temporary contractor, which could be dismissed on the same day, but he was under a formal employment contract; it wasn't so easy to casually submit resumes elsewhere.

There is a clause called non-compete agreement in this world after all; jumping ship isn't so simple.

The tent meeting area returned to calm.

Time: 9:30

The representative from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Ahem! Now, let's begin the meeting! Please, take your seats."

The body of Colonel William Everson, Director of Operations for the Meman Brothers Consortium, was carried out.

Life ends and tea cools down; for capitalists, while alive, there's exploitative value; when dead, they're worthless and just getting a declaration of death in the line of duty is giving face, as any issue that money can solve is not a problem at all.

Old soldiers who burst into the tent gave Manager Hanna several hand signals to show they were ready at a moment's notice, then looked around and finally, under the surveillance of others, withdrew, staying not far from the tent, fully armed and on alert.

Most of the delegates acted as if nothing had happened, taking their seats, with only Chen Fei and Hanna Gagar's vicinity still emptily visible. Delegates would rather squeeze together or add seats than get close to the two.

The speaker from the Joint Defense Committee spoke from the stage, but the manager was in no mood to listen, quietly reprimanding Chen Fei beside her.

"Rookie, you're too bold, daring to kill a director of the Meman Brothers Consortium!"

Like father, like son, the young deserve a beating, the old deserve death, but you shouldn't be so blatantly ruthless in front of everyone,

Why not just do it behind the back, where it can look decent for everyone?

"I didn't dare!"

Chen Fei covered his face, feeling extremely upset.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, suddenly becoming so violent and ready to take lives.

Back in the day, he was a law-abiding good boy who hadn't even killed a chicken.

Who would have thought that since joining the Aircrew Base, his true nature was revealed, increasingly disregarding human life.

Now that he had calmed down, he started to feel inexplicably nervous and uneasy.
