Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Apart from Ze Chuan and Uncle Hu that Tao Yu knew, there were two other people.

One was a heavily mechanized guy who was even bigger than Panda, probably close to three meters tall, and quite burly, almost turning the long sofa he was sitting on into a single-seater.

Besides him, there was a handsome young man sitting where Ze Chuan usually would, his legs crossed on the table, revealing a somewhat carefree attitude.

After glancing at Tao Yu and his companion, he didn't seem to care much, just nodded his head, as a way of greeting.

The other party was here to ask for a favor, so taking a superior attitude would facilitate making his request later on.

Then, in a lazy tone, he said to the big fella,

"Brother Yuan Force, 'Eight-Armed Vajra' should be one of your 'Redemption' guys, probably some relative of Tao Hu. I'll definitely respect your face.

"It's up to you to decide what to do now. Don't blame me for being impartial, as this time I received a commission from the Parliament Hall and have full authority to deal with this matter. I must provide an explanation.

"Ze Chuan's position definitely can't be kept, and although Tao Hu is on leave, our kind of job doesn't really allow for complete breaks."

Serke specifically emphasized the words "commission from the Parliament Hall".

At this time, Tao Yu also had some recollection; that big guy seemed to be 'Yuan Force', a senior partner on the mechanical augmentation side from 'Redemption'.

It looked quite likely that Ze Chuan had prepared him in advance as a backup.

Ze Chuan was very slick; it wasn't surprising that he could cozy up to a senior partner. Otherwise, how could he have secured the position of captain of the Outer City?

Even middle-level partners from the Inner City would covet such juicy positions.

Tao Yu and 'Yuan Force' also nodded to each other across the room; judging by Serke's demeanor, it indeed seemed like what Wang Goudan had said.

However, Tao Yu wasn't ready to act right away; he wanted to hear what Serke had to say. They should be dealing with Ze Chuan's issue now, which was just what he wanted to observe.

"Hey, the way you're talking, it's like I owe Ze Chuan a favor, so we need to talk things out this time. He's not attached to his captain position; he just wants to get out in one piece.

"You and I both know what's going on with this incident; it's nothing more than the Inner City families and Chaoyang Society clashing. The Gans are stable and won't get involved, we are outsiders. Just go through the motions."

Yuan Force sat casually on the long sofa, making it creak; as a senior partner, his status might not be as high as Serke's, but he certainly had the right to speak.

Hearing this, Tao Yu understood that Ze Chuan really had made preparations in advance.

He couldn't counter the pressure from the Inner City families; now it seemed, he was ready to wash his hands of this mess once it was over.

With his years of accumulation, perhaps he already had enough, and without any desire to rise higher, he would have no major problems getting through the second half of his life comfortably.

And the situation with the Inner City families clashing with the Chaoyang Society, perhaps he didn't know at the time, but afterwards, an outsider could see through it.

"Actually, it would have been alright if he'd just relinquished his position, which would have served as a form of accountability, but it's a bit unfortunate because this incident turned out to be more than expected. The families lost too many members, more than you can count on two hands at your level."

Serke, who clearly had access to first-hand information, even lifted his hand as if to count.

This was the reason he was so confident!

So many people died, did you know that?

This revelation made Yuan Force, Ze Chuan, Tao Hu, and even Wang Goudan's faces change dramatically.

Has it gotten this serious?

So many senior partners are dead?

What the hell?

Gu Qiu isn't around, and Chaoyang Society is still this powerful?

Serke was very pleased with their expressions and said with deep significance,

"And I heard, just heard mind you, heh, a World Breaker died too, won't say who, you guys should find out eventually."

Serke's half-smiling gaze swept over everyone present.

"So, just giving up the position isn't enough, neglect of duty has been established. However, since you came to plead, we can waive corporal punishment. No need to serve in the Evil Spirit World, just do some physical labor in the prison factory as a gesture. If he had stopped it, wouldn't that have prevented so many deaths?"

Serke's words turned Ze Chuan's face pale, his lips trembling.

The ones who had turned a blind eye were those people, and now after their defeat, they turned around and took their anger out on him, which made him feel a bit sad but also helpless.

Weakness is the original sin!

Even with Tao Yu's arrival now, he didn't feel that anything could be changed.

He couldn't even resign before!

Even with Tao Xiaoge here now, I'm afraid the problem still wouldn't be solved.

Indeed, last time Tao Yu had used Gang Qi right in front of him, and having cross-checked some information he had learned in the Development Zone, he was certain that the 'Eight-Armed Vajra' dominating the place was him.

Now he had received confirmation from Serke as well.

Energy may not weigh as much as bricks flying small.

But I'm afraid that's as far as it goes...

Entering that prison factory area, if you don't die, you'll still lose a layer of skin. How well you do depends on how much Yuan Force you have stored in your body.

With money, you can still act like a big shot there, but for me, apart from burning through years of savings, life is going to be tough.

Moreover, I originally thought that if I could remove Tao Hu, I'd earn some gratitude and leave behind some connections for the future, but now it seems that's not going to happen... Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

Watching 'Strength Big Brick Fly' next to him, after he mentioned that a World Breaker had died, he seemed to stop talking, as if he already understood the gravity of the situation. Ze Chuan also knew that given their relationship, it was already good enough that the other party had come over to pull him out.

And probably couldn't exert too much effort.

Serke, seeing Strength Big Brick Fly fall silent, simply smiled casually and then turned to look indifferently at Tao Yu and Wang Goudan, glancing at Tao Hu as well

"Lacking ability, yet you're quick to pull strings, huh? Let's settle Ze Chuan's matter like this. Technically, he's only responsible as a leader, while Tao Hu is the direct manager of South City. We ought to give face to 'Eight Arms', brother, but it's a difficult situation..."

But no sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a sharp object had pierced his brain.

Which made him incredulous.

Although he lacked psychic talents, his Meditation Technique was laboriously brought to level 4. If it weren't for the fact that without talent, maintaining level 5 was not cost-effective, he could have reached level 5!

Ordinary psychic attacks should backfire more, right?

Who? Who attacked me?

Just as the pain in his head was easing, he felt a sudden pain on his face, the world spun, and his whole body was kicked off the chair and onto the ground, his face pinned down by a boot.

He tried to exert strength but found himself weak all over, his body numb, as if he were under some sort of restraint, like a dead dog being trampled on by the guy who had just come in.

"I specially came over and all you do is babble this to me? Direct manager?"

Tao Yu's face looked nonchalant, his tone casual, only the force on his foot kept increasing, the sole of his boot beginning to twist, deforming Serke's face.

This guy, threatening others with his record of achievements, saying the matter was blown up really big and difficult to conclude.

Don't I know how big the matter is?

Don't I know how many people I've killed?

Yet, he seemed to think he could flaunt this affair like a tiger's skin.

Which left Tao Yu feeling a bit speechless.

Even if Wang Goudan already knew that this boss had a very volatile temper and always preferred action over words during missions.

Seeing him stepping on the face of the Inner City Security Team Captain.

Still felt a bit surreal.

Let's not talk about you hitting him...

How was his strength so easily taken down by you?

In others' eyes, it was as if right after Serke frowned and muttered 'difficult to handle...', Tao Yu's foot was on his face, pinning him to the ground.

Even Wang Goudan's dynamic capture ability could easily trace this path, but Serke didn't get a chance to react.

It's impossible to see that this guy could be the captain of the Inner City Security Team.

Weren't they said to have high strength and talents?

Could it be a fake...
