Chapter 423 Deal with Violet

The next morning, after returning from his morning exercise, Fang Yu saw Violet sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a fashion magazine that was probably left in the apartment by Liu Liansha.

Fang Yu sat on the sofa opposite her and poured himself a glass of water.

Violet kept her eyes lowered, focusing intently on the magazine.

“For someone who’s been kidnapped, you have a pretty good attitude,” Fang Yu smiled.

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Violet raised her eyes to look at him.

After the energy in her body had been sealed, the purple light in her eyes had dimmed considerably.

Violet stared directly at Fang Yu, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

For the past few days, her mind had been in torment, even regretting that she hadn’t fled decisively that night, which led to her current predicament.

But later, she gradually accepted reality.

When she initially accepted the employment from the Yang family in Jiangnan, she never imagined that this target would later become her nightmare!

It’s worth noting that the Violet Organization accepts at least a hundred assignments like the Yang family’s each year!

So, Violet resigned herself to fate.

Encountering an opponent of Fang Yu’s caliber was her misfortune, yet also something destined in her life that she couldn’t escape.

Now, she was in a state of confusion.

Fang Yu didn’t kill her, but she herself had no desire to live.

Her energy was sealed, and a mark was left in her soul, making it impossible for her to escape Fang Yu’s clutches for the rest of her life.

At any moment, Fang Yu could make her life worse than death with just a thought.

Under these circumstances, nothing seemed meaningful anymore.

“By the way,” Fang Yu, unconcerned with Violet’s emotions, suddenly remembered something and asked, “Do you know anything about that gene laboratory in Europa?”

Violet’s eyes flickered slightly, and she glanced at Fang Yu again, but didn’t answer.

“Do you want to experience the feeling of having your soul torn apart again?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.

Hearing these words, Violet’s face changed, and her body trembled.

No one would want to endure that extreme pain again!

“…The gene laboratory has collaborated with our organization twice,” Violet took a deep breath, trying to remain calm as she spoke.

“You’ve worked together? Do you know the exact location of this laboratory? And who their leader is?” Fang Yu frowned and asked.

“They have many laboratories, but if you’re asking about their headquarters… no one knows except for the core members of their laboratory,” Violet paused, then continued, “As for their leader, I know him. Dr. Gary, nicknamed the Monster Doctor, is quite famous in the dark world.”

“Can you meet with him?” Fang Yu asked.

Violet shook her head and said, “His true self never meets with anyone; he only uses mechanical humans he’s modified as substitutes.”

Fang Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, “What was the content of your previous collaboration with him?”

“Just purchasing some equipment,” Violet answered.

“Then how did you contact him?” Fang Yu asked again.

Violet frowned slightly and answered, “His contact information is public. Anyone who wants to buy equipment from him can find him.”

“One more question, do you know anything about the power cores inside the genetically modified humans he creates?” Fang Yu asked.

“Power cores?” Violet shook her head, “I haven’t dealt with this laboratory many times.”

“I see…”

Fang Yu leaned back on the sofa, thought for a while, then looked at Violet and smiled, “Would you like to leave this place?”

Violet gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying, “As long as I still have your mark in my body, leaving here has no meaning.”

“If you can help me accomplish something, I can remove the mark from your body,” Fang Yu said.

Violet’s eyes flickered as she looked at Fang Yu.

“Help me find Dr. Gary’s true self, or help me find his lair, or find the source of the power cores I just mentioned… any one of these three, and I’ll remove the mark from your body,” Fang Yu said.

Violet’s heart stirred, and her eyes regained their spirit.

But at the same time, she was puzzled.

Just a few days ago, Fang Yu had said he needed a long time to study the energy in her body.

Why had he suddenly changed his mind?

“The energy in your body is difficult to research. It might really take three to five years, and I can’t wait that long,” Fang Yu said.

Since his conception last night, his longing for the Foundation Establishment stage had grown stronger than ever.

This emotion was stronger than at any time in the past five thousand years!

Only because he was now just one step away from reaching the ten-thousandth layer of the Qi Condensation stage!

These five thousand years of Qi Condensation experience were like climbing a mountain whose peak couldn’t be seen.

But now, he felt he wasn’t far from the summit!

He was about to reach the top and see the scenery beyond the mountain!

“I accept this assignment,” Violet stood up and said.

Her eyes were very determined.

She didn’t consider whether Fang Yu was trustworthy because she had no choice now.

“Good,” Fang Yu also stood up, stepped forward, and extended a finger to touch Violet’s forehead.

“Zing!”

A white light flashed from his fingertip.

Violet felt the sensation of her body being filled with power return!

Her eyes flashed with intense purple light!

At the same time, the aura around her became sharp.

After being sealed for several days, she could feel that the crystal inside her body seemed somewhat displeased, and every bit of energy in her body was expanding!

Violet stood in front of the sofa, her aura gradually rising.

“Crack!”

The glass on the tea table closest to Violet cracked and then shattered!

“Control your energy. This apartment isn’t mine, and you’ll have to compensate for any damaged items,” Fang Yu said.

Violet took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her excitement.

She looked at the calm and composed Fang Yu with complex emotions.

Fang Yu’s willingness to release her like this made his meaning very clear.

He wasn’t afraid of her making a move again!

“That glass will cost you at least three to five hundred. Remember to send someone with the money,” Fang Yu sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said.

Violet glanced at Fang Yu, walked toward the main door, and said as she walked, “I will complete your assignment as soon as possible. I hope you keep your word.”

“I will be monitoring you at all times,” Fang Yu said calmly.

Violet’s figure paused, then she opened the door and walked out.

…

The Chen family’s banquet invitation spread throughout the martial arts world of the Nine Provinces.

As a result, apart from the Huaibei martial arts world, many forces from other regions also sent representatives to Huaibei to attend the Chen family’s banquet and to watch the quadrennial Huaibei Martial Arts Tournament as spectators.

On Friday, the Chen family mansion was bustling with activity, and the reception hall alone could not accommodate so many guests.

So, the Chen family simply invited all the guests to the Chen family’s training ground.

This place was a flat area, covering thousands of square meters, with plenty of space.

In the center of the field, a combat platform had already been set up.

After the banquet, the Huaibei Martial Arts Tournament would be held on this combat platform.

Guests continued to pour in for the banquet.

Chen Nansheng and his wife, along with many core members of the Chen family, stood at the main gate to welcome the guests.

“Brother Chen, you’ve raised a fine son…”

“Master Chen, congratulations…”

“Master Chen, with such a son, what more could one ask for? Chen Luo will likely lead your Chen family to new heights, truly enviable…”

The coming and going guests spoke flatteringly, praising Chen Luo and the Chen family endlessly.

All the core members of the Chen family wore smiles, extremely pleased.

Especially Chen Nansheng and his wife, who couldn’t stop smiling.

As Chen Luo’s parents, they were immensely proud to have produced such an outstanding son.

In the entire Chen family, the only unhappy person was Chen Yi.

His status in the family had always been low.

Now that Chen Luo had advanced to the Martial Saint realm and become famous throughout the Nine Provinces’ martial arts world, his status in the family had risen even higher.

In the future, whenever people mentioned Chen Luo, they would inevitably also mention his incompetent elder brother.

He would completely become a negative example, a joke!

Facing the coming and going guests, Chen Yi just maintained a stern face, his eyes gloomy, without a trace of a smile.

However, today’s protagonist was Chen Luo, and no one paid attention to Chen Yi.

“Chairman Zhao has arrived!”

At this moment, a commotion suddenly erupted among the crowd.
