The group arrived at the hotel where Chen Shu and the others had been staying.
Fu Ning arranged rooms for them and then left.
“Chen Pi, tell us everything that happened. We’ll help you report it to the authorities afterwards.”
“Alright, it all started when Dali and I left China…”
“Stop right there!”
Qin Tian’s mouth twitched. “Why don’t you start from the beginning of time itself?”
“Start from when Dali had the accident!”
“Oh.”
The entire afternoon passed by in a flash.
Chen Shu recounted the entire incident, including Master Mu Tu’s identity and the man in black at the airport.
He didn’t hide his divine skill, [Death Revival], as it would eventually be discovered.
However, he attributed the skill’s origin to the treasure vaults of the Night organization and the Salvation Church.
It was reasonable for a notorious bandit from Nanjiang to investigate the treasures of other factions…
After all, he had engaged in “black eating black” more than once…
“I see…”
Qin Tian and the others didn’t doubt him. In fact, they couldn’t think of a more plausible explanation.
“Next time you do something like this, inform us first!”
Qin Tian frowned and said, “With the four of us acting, wouldn’t it be easy to annihilate the Night organization?”
“It’s just that we were a bit short on time…”
Chen Shu scratched his head and replied, “Next time, next time for sure!”
“It’s best if there is no next time.”
Liu Feng patted him on the shoulder and asked, “By the way, is your bandit intelligence network real?”
“Of course, otherwise how would I have found the locations of the two organizations?”
To explain how he managed to precisely locate the Night organization, he could only fabricate a non-existent intelligence network.
Although the four of them found it hard to believe, as even major countries couldn’t locate the criminal organizations, they had no better explanation and simply attributed it to coincidence.
Chen Qinghai immediately asked, “Can you find the headquarters of the Salvation Church and the Sacred Imperial Society?”
The Night organization had been dismantled, but the other two organizations were the main targets. They didn’t specialize in assassination and relied purely on brute force.
“Well, there’s no news on that yet…”
Chen Shu shook his head. Not unless the system gave him another prompt.
Qin Tian said, “Alright! Since the matter is settled, let’s get some good rest.”
“Okay!”
Everyone nodded and returned to their respective rooms.
Qin Tian seemed to have thought of something and said, “Chen Pi, I’ll take you to do something tomorrow.”
“What?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. “Principal, perhaps you’re itching for action and want to stir up some trouble?”
“Stir up trouble my ass!”
“…”
The next morning,
Chen Shu and his companions left the hotel and went to the official building in Nanqing City.
Qin Tian instructed him, “Once we go inside, apologize properly!”
“I know.”
Chen Shu nodded and looked towards the conference room ahead.
Qin Tian said, “Dali, you go with Chen Pi.”
With that, the two headed towards the conference room.
Inside, ten elderly individuals were seated, their expressions calm, making it impossible to discern their thoughts.
However, when they saw Zhang Dali emerge, a hint of shock and surprise appeared in their eyes.
He was actually alive…
They were the ten leading figures in the culinary world.
“You all discuss.”
Fu Ning, who was at the head, smiled and then left the conference room.
The rest of the matters were not too problematic, but Chen Shu had attacked the ten individuals with lethal intent, which was broadcast globally.
The ten were all renowned figures in the culinary world, with considerable influence, and many King-level powerhouses owed them favors.
If this matter was not handled properly, Chen Shu’s reputation would be completely ruined, even though it was already quite poor…
But at least an attempt should be made to salvage it…
“Esteemed sirs!”
Chen Shu greeted them with a bright, sunny smile, a completely different demeanor from his bloodthirsty self on that day.
“…”
The ten nodded coldly. There was still some displeasure in their eyes. Anyone who had nearly lost their life would likely not have a good attitude.
Chen Shu was not surprised and honestly explained himself.
Upon hearing that Chen Shu had attacked to save Zhang Dali and could transfer his skills at any moment, their resentment dissipated significantly.
Finally, Chen Shu bowed to them.
Looking at his sincere attitude, the ten nodded, no longer holding any blame.
Furthermore, by saving Zhang Dali, he had made a great contribution to the culinary world.
Such a culinary artist with the potential to break into the Legendary realm was incredibly important.
Once the first Legendary appeared, there might be ten or a hundred more, completely changing the landscape of the culinary world.
“Dali, you must work hard!”
One of the Grandmasters said with a smile, “Your creativity is unparalleled. Don’t waste your talent!”
“Yes, in the future, you might truly be able to change the culinary world.”
The ten were clearly much more enthusiastic towards Zhang Dali. Chen Shu was merely a beast-taming prodigy, and it didn’t concern them much.
“You are too kind, esteemed sirs.”
Zhang Dali scratched his head and said, “You are the soul figures who have changed the culinary world.”
The two parties directly engaged in mutual praise.
“You all discuss.”
Since Chen Shu had gained the forgiveness of the ten, he quietly left the room.
Qin Tian immediately asked upon seeing him,
“Chen Pi, how did it go?”
“Everything is okay!”
Chen Shu grinned and said, “Besides, with the four of you waiting outside, would they have been able to refuse the apology?”
“Stop bluffing!”
Liu Feng glared at him. “Then why did you come out?”
“They were engaged in mutual praise inside…”
Chen Shu sighed and said, “I have a weak bladder, I can’t listen to this…”
