"Alright then, Chairman Li it is."

Wang Lingling pouted.

She naturally knew that the reason why so many ordinary people could live in Anshan City was because of Chairman Li.

It couldn't be denied that this was indeed a meritorious deed.

Even though she had been to many cities, no one had done anything like this.

"From your previous actions, it seems like your chairman already knew I was coming?" she asked nonchalantly.

"I don't know about that."

Hua Jun shook his head upon hearing this.

"It was only half an hour ago that I received a notice from the chairman saying a Ms. Wang would be coming, and that I should come out to meet you. Those earlier words were also instructed by the chairman."

Actually, not just Wang Lingling.

Even Hua Jun himself was somewhat curious.

But as a qualified subordinate, he knew what to ask and what not to ask.

If the Chairman wanted him to know today's matter, he would naturally be informed.

But if not, it would be rude for him to ask.

"Is that so?"

Wang Lingling furrowed her brows.

Her curiosity grew even stronger.

But as the saying goes, since you're here, settle in.

Since she had already come this far, she might as well see what Chairman Li's plot was.

Soon, they arrived at the chairman's office.

"Knock knock."

Hua Jun knocked on the door twice and said, "Chairman, I've brought the person."

"Let her in."

A familiar voice sounded from inside.

"Ms. Wang, please."

Hua Jun made a welcoming gesture.

Wang Lingling took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.

"You've arrived."

A man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the entire Anshan City.

Hearing the noise, he turned around, revealing an ordinary face.

"Go ahead, what's the matter that required my presence?"

Upon entering the office, Wang Lingling's mood lightened.

She plopped down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and asked.

"Wasn't it you who came looking for me?"

Chen Fan retorted.

"You!"

Wang Lingling was stunned, her eyes widened, "Wait a minute, how did you know I would come to see you today?"

Thinking deeper, she felt something was off.

Could this guy be that clever?

No, this guy is an awakener, could it be?

She thought of a possibility.

"If I told you I could foresee the future, would you believe me?"

Chen Fan asked.

"Foresee the future!"

Wang Lingling sprang up from the sofa, covering her mouth.

That was the possibility she had thought of earlier.

But she never expected to hit the mark straight away.

"That's right."

Chen Fan turned back to the window again, speaking calmly, "I knew you would come today, and I also know your purpose for coming."

"What is it?"

Wang Lingling held her breath.

"You're here to inform me about the Beast Tide outbreak, correct?"

Wang Lingling felt like she had been struck by thunderbolt, collapsing onto the sofa, staring at Chen Fan with a shocked expression.

That a beast tide had broken out, it wasn't impossible for the person before her to know through other means.

But being the one to report it, she was sure only she knew.

Because it was a sudden idea she had, and if she hadn't happened to be passing Anshan City, she wouldn't have come specially.

But now, the guy in front of her had nailed it.

Could it be that his superpower really was foresight?

"What? You still don't believe?"

Chen Fan's lips curved slightly.

"Do you know why last time, I advised you to leave here, as far away as possible?"

"I, I don't know."

Wang Lingling shook her head blankly.

"Because I foresaw your death."

Chen Fan said.

"My death?"

Wang Lingling's heart thumped violently, showing an extremely shocked expression.

"Do you know that just yesterday, people from the Qin family were here."

Chen Fan's tone was as calm as ever,

"Among them, some wield a martial art called Emperor's Qi Observation Skill, which produces effects similar to my ability."

"Emperor's Qi Observation Skill..."

Wang Lingling's voice trembled, her face gradually paling.

"It seems you know this martial art quite well."

Chen Fan nodded and continued, "Those people already know your location, so when I found you, I advised you to leave quickly. Luckily you listened, otherwise, you'd be in the Qin family's interrogation room right now."

"How, how do I know if you're telling the truth or lying?"

Cold sweat drenched Wang Lingling's back, but she stubbornly retorted, "Maybe you're just trying to scare me?"

"Why would I need to scare you?"

Chen Fan chuckled.

"Considering the Qin family is a first-tier family in Yan Country, do you think you can just steal their things and walk away easily? Honestly, do you think it's possible?"

Wang Lingling's lips twitched.

She knew it wasn't very likely.

But, what if?

If she managed to evade the Qin family's pursuit, she'd own a divine demon martial art forever.

She was confident with her talent, even if she couldn't master it in a year, how about ten years, twenty years? As long as she had enough time, she believed she could master this martial art.

When that day came, even if the Qin family found her, what would she have to fear?

But according to this guy, the Qin family already knew her hiding place through Emperor's Qi Observation Skill and nearly captured her.

So, if the Qin family had this skill, wouldn't it mean she could evade this time but not necessarily the next?

Even if she dodged the second time, what about the third?

She could evade countless times, but as long as she failed once, everything would be over.

At this moment, she felt her whole body trembling, the future dimming.

"How about a transaction?"

Seeing the timing was right, Chen Fan spoke.

Actually, if he wanted to get the Longevity Technique from her, it would be very easy.

But he didn't want to use dishonorable means.

Besides, this woman came here this time with good intentions.

"Wh... what transaction?"

Wang Lingling stammered.

This person couldn't possibly know she had the Longevity Technique, could he?

No, impossible.

She had been extremely cautious all the way, so it was impossible for anyone to know she carried a divine demon martial art, let alone the specific name.

Even the Qin family wouldn't do that.

Because once it leaked out, not even the Qin family's patriarch might successfully retrieve the cultivation technique.

"The Longevity Technique."

Chen Fan spat out three words.

"Y... you know I have the Longevity Technique?"

She exclaimed in shock, her body trembling.

"I told you, my superpower is foresight. I can know whatever I want to know."

Chen Fan gave her a meaningful glance.

"So,"

She stammered, "you knew from the beginning that I had this technique?"

"Of course."

Chen Fan nodded.

"Then why did you let me leave so easily before?" She couldn't help asking.

Honestly, she would have been tempted in such a situation.

"Because I knew you'd come back."

"..."

Wang Lingling was suddenly enlightened.

Yes, since the person before her could foresee the future, knowing she would return was within reason.

Just like how someone was there to greet her as soon as she entered the Awakened Association's gate.

"Wh... what exactly do you want?" Her voice revealed a touch of fear. It was terrifying for anyone to realize that their every move was within someone else's calculation.
