In the afternoon.
Harpoon was kicked awake from his slumber. He opened his eyes and saw his dad's big face.
"Dad, what are you doing? Is this how you treat an injured person? "
Harpoon yelled. He didn't sleep until the afternoon because he was lazy. In fact, he had only slept for less than two hours.
Harpoon hadn't been idle during last night's incident. He had led the North District's Chamber of Commerce to provide support in the East District. He only fell asleep when he returned in the afternoon.
"Sleep my ass! Wake up … "
White Hair slapped Harpoon in the face. He still had quite a few superficial wounds on his body. Was this how Dad treated his own son?
"Sleep. All you know is to sleep. Do you know how big things are out there …" White Hair pointed at his son and scolded him.
"What does it have to do with me? Besides, after this incident, the North District's Chamber of Commerce will benefit a lot …"
Harpoon rubbed his head and glared at White Hair. The plan to assassinate Lieutenant General Fayron had failed. Now, the strength of the North District's army had reached an unprecedented level in the Foka Tower.
With Dad's relationship with Lieutenant General Fayron, the future of the North District's Chamber of Commerce would be smooth sailing.
But what did this have to do with Harpoon? Dad was still in his prime. As the president of the North District's Chamber of Commerce, he could hold the position for at least a few decades. He didn't want to take over these affairs so soon.
"Dad, don't tell me you're going to groom me to take over the North District's Chamber of Commerce now. You can't be so cruel, can you?"
"I'm still a child …"
Harpoon's eyes widened and he suddenly wailed. He understood White Hair's intentions.
"Child my ass. Do you think there's a child as big as you …"
White Hair cursed. He took out a check and smashed it on Harpoon's face. "Get up and pack up. Buy some specialties from the Foka Tower and send them to Mr. Bones. Do you understand what I mean? "
Harpoon's dizzy head gradually turned around after receiving the check. However, he was still a little confused.
"Dad, why do you want me to go? Isn't it better for you to go? Considering your relationship with Old Aidan and your identity as the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the North District, it's more appropriate for you to go there, "Harpoon mumbled.
White Mane took out a specially-supplied cigar, lit it, and puffed a puff of smoke onto Harpoon's face. He then pointed at his son and nodded in satisfaction. "You're not bad, kid. You've been training in the Mechanic Warehouse for the past few years, and you've learned a thing or two. However, you're still too inexperienced. The relationship between them isn't as simple as you think. "
"Then what didn't I expect …" Harpoon asked in a daze, his eyes wide open.
Taking another puff of his cigar, Whitebeard narrowed his eyes as he looked at his son and sighed, "Do you know the details of the battle in the Eastern and Southern regions last night?"
"Uh …"
Harpoon frowned and scratched his back with his hoof. Then, he began to think hard and confessed everything he knew.
Harpoon was one of the people who knew most of the inside information about last night's incident. After all, Harpoon was a participant in the plan that Mr. Bone and Lieutenant General Philon had come up with.
The unexpected things that happened in the battle last night, such as the invasion of the so-called "Blood Spirit Race", were unexpected variables …
Apart from the invading sea beast experts and the Blood Spirits, Harpoon had also heard about the petty tricks of other forces in the city.
Not only that, but he even vaguely knew that the so-called "Blood Spirit Clan" might be related to the Sea-Ao Empire.
"What do you think? Dad, I'm not bad, right …? "
Harpoon laughed rather proudly. He was very confident that he was one of the people who knew the inside story.
Whoosh …
White Hair blew a ring of smoke on his son's face and sneered, "Is this the inside story that you know? Kid, you're even more inexperienced than I, your father, imagined! "
"Dad, what other secrets do I need to know …" cried Harpoon indignantly.
In his opinion, he already knew most of the inside information about this incident. As for the parts that he missed out, it didn't matter whether he knew or not.
After all, the outcome of this incident was that Lieutenant General Philon was safe and sound and had successfully reached Realm Seven. The North Chamber of Commerce didn't suffer much loss and had a bright future. That was enough.
As the son of the North Chamber of Commerce's president, Harpoon felt that it was already a good thing that he didn't become a spoiled brat and have fun all day long.
One had to know that from now on, he would have Lieutenant General Philon and his father's protection in the Foka Tower. He would be a second generation with a very solid foundation.
White Hair shook his head and said, "Did you watch the videos on the media and forums?"
"Uh … what videos? Why would I watch them …"
Harpoon was a little confused. He never had the habit of watching melons. Besides, he hadn't slept all night. He had been rescuing and evacuating people in the East Sector. He didn't have time to watch these videos.
As he muttered, Harpoon opened a video on the forum. After watching for a while, his eyes suddenly widened. He pointed at the figure of a man and a woman in the video and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Below the video, the number of comments had already reached an "explosive" state. Countless people left comments below, and shocking news flew everywhere. There were also many people guessing the identity of the man and woman.
A Realm Seven master of combat mechanics, a mysterious woman who killed a strong enemy with a Flame Fist, a peerless swordsman who fought against a sea beast with a purple sword aura … The discussion about these peerless masters on the forum was even more heated than the incident itself.
A battle between Realm Seven masters was always the focus of attention. Moreover, the three Realm Seven masters who appeared in the incident last night not only had mysterious origins, but also looked very young.
Especially the master of combat mechanics, the woman who shook the sky with a Flame Fist. From all aspects of the video, she was ridiculously young and looked less than thirty years old …
Of course, many people guessed that these two peerless masters only looked young, but were actually old monsters at their real age.
…
Looking at the increasing number of comments at the bottom of the video, Harpoon was a little dumbfounded. The hair on his head even stood on end …
"These two peerless masters, aren't they … aren't they …"
Harpoon was tongue-tied, but he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Unlike the others, with his innate talent, he could immediately tell that this battle mechanic master was Mr. Chuan, and the woman with the fiery fist was Miss Fei Yu.
These two were peerless masters of Realm Seven?!
This …
"Oh my god! This is impossible, Mr. Chuan, how old is Miss Fei Yu … "
Harpoon's brain finally started working, and he was so shocked that he screamed.
Bang!
White Hair slapped his son to the ground and snorted. "It's good enough that you know. Why are you shouting it out? Do you think there aren't enough people who know? Think about it, do these two want people to know who they are? "
Harpoon nodded vigorously. He was completely convinced by his father's judgment. As expected of his father, the older, the wiser.
"Wow … Dad, do you think this is possible? Mr. Chuan is only … "
Halfway through his sentence, White Hair glared at him. Harpoon smiled awkwardly and gestured with his hoof. "Mr. Chuan looks like he's only 20 …"
"It doesn't look like it, it really is." White Mane corrected.
When White Hair saw the video, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He immediately investigated the identities of Hayashi River and Fei Yu.
White Hair had investigated Fei Yu's background, and there was definitely something fishy about it.
But Hayashi River's background couldn't be faked. According to the news from the White Dwarf Kingdom, he was a genius in mechanics, and his talent in both academies and craftsmen was obvious to all.
As for the combat faction, there was no record of him …
What did 'no record' mean?
It could be that he had never been involved, or he was deliberately hiding it …
No matter what, White Hair understood one thing, and that was that this man and woman were really something.
"Fei Long isn't too sure about their identities, and I'm not going to tell anyone. As for you, build a good relationship with Mr. Chuan and Miss Fei Yu as an individual. This is your chance."
White Hair smoked his cigar and exhaled a cloud of smoke as he spoke.
"This is often the case in this world. If I hadn't met Uncle Aidan, I wouldn't have been able to become the president of the North Chamber of Commerce. Now that I think about it, it's the biggest opportunity I've had in my life. As for you, perhaps this is the biggest opportunity you've had in your life. Whether you can grasp it or not, it's all up to you … "
Harpoon was stunned for a moment after hearing his father's words. He put away the check, freshened up, rebandaged his wound, and walked out.
"Heh … This kid has really grown up …" White Hair laughed.
…
Evening.
Harpoon carried a cart full of specialties and rushed to Hayashi River's residence. When he arrived, he saw Fei Yu and Mossy Bone who were already there.
Of course, Hayashi River was also there, but he was in the lab and hadn't come out yet.
"You're here. If you didn't come over, I was going to look for you, "Mossy Bone said.
"Mr. Bone, what can I do for you?" Harpoon bowed respectfully and said.
Saying so, he greeted Fei Yu and took out the specialties of the Foka Tower that he had prepared.
Knowing that the two people in front of him and the one in the lab were the three peerless masters, Harpoon's attitude became even more respectful.
"We're all friends. Don't be so formal. I need your help, "Fei Yu said with a chuckle.
The more she said so, the more pressure Harpoon felt.
Mossy Bone pointed at the table and gestured for Harpoon to look at it himself. Harpoon saw a stack of maps on the table. They were the city blueprints of the Foka Tower in various versions.
"What's the use of these city blueprints?" Harpoon asked in confusion.
If one wanted to know about the Foka Tower, they could just ask him. He grew up here and liked to run around in the city, so he couldn't be more familiar with the big and small corners of the Foka Tower.
"It's a secret lab built by Reggins!" Mossy Bone said.
Harpoon shivered in fright. He knew who Reggins was. He was one of the sea beasts that invaded last night. He was a high-rank sea beast that had woken up from a deep sleep. It was said that he was an old monster from 1,000 years ago.
"I …"
Harpoon was a little uneasy. He only came to deliver a gift and make himself known to the three of them. He didn't expect that he would be involved in a dispute between level-seven masters.
If there were any accidents, he wouldn't be able to survive even if he had 10 lives …
However, thinking of his father's words, Harpoon nodded and agreed.
"Let's wait for Mr. Chuan to come out …"
Fei Yu looked at the lab with a complicated expression. She couldn't adapt to the changes in Hayashi River in just one day.
Similarly, she had also changed a lot. After completely merging with the [Xinyuan Legacy], her strength had changed so much that even she was surprised.
Moreover, the strength she showed was only a part of it. In the battle last night, she didn't use her full strength.
Of course, she also had a feeling that Mr. Bone and Hayashi River didn't use their full strength either. Both of them were holding back.
"It's a good thing to be friends with such people," Fei Yu murmured in her heart.
Her good friend, the woman in the white coat, was yelling crazily in her headset. She kept asking about the inside story of last night's disturbance.
Fei Yu pretended not to hear her. There were too many things involved in last night's incident. She was still sorting them out. Some things couldn't be revealed, such as Hayashi River's strength …
Also, what was in the lab built by the sea beast Reggins in the Foka Tower?
Regarding these secrets, she would have the answer when Hayashi River came out of the lab.
…
At the same time.
In the lab, there was an item on the workbench. It was the hand cannon that Marqio had previously carried.
Sizzle …
The mechanical device was testing this hand cannon. All kinds of instruments were used, but the material of this hand cannon couldn't be analyzed.
In the lab, besides Hayashi River, Fowler was also assisting him.
The research on this hand cannon was top secret. Hayashi River couldn't find other assistants, so he could only ask Fowler to do it.
As a descendant of Cromwell, Fowler had stayed in the secret base for a period of time. He was quite familiar with the use of mechanical devices.
Moreover, he was very knowledgeable and knew many secrets of the Eastern and Western Continents. He was quite suitable as an assistant.
"Strange … Is this material produced in the depths of the five seas? It can perfectly fuse with the sea beast's body, but we can't use it … "
Looking at the data that kept popping up on the screen, Hayashi River couldn't help but frown. The research and analysis of this hand cannon was much more troublesome than he had expected.
The material of this hand cannon was exactly the same as a part of Marqio's body. This was clearly a type of body modification, but it was different from mechanical modification.
This type of tissue was biologically active, and it could perfectly fuse with the sea beast's body …
"Mr. Chuan. According to the information I've found, Reggins' original purpose in hiding in the Foka Tower was to steal a part of Cromwell's research data and conduct some kind of secret experiment. "
"And the research data he stole was the content of the annihilation warrior project. What secret experiment was he conducting? It should be this thing …" Fowler said calmly.
Fowler said in a calm tone. Even if he was wearing a research robe, his behavior and manner still had a sense of elegance.
Lin Chuan nodded in agreement. He frowned a little and thought about it. Once he analyzed the hand cannon, he was actually quite shocked. The sea beasts had actually started researching this sort of thing one thousand years ago. This was not good news.
Of course, if the sea beasts' research results were only at the level of this hand cannon, it wouldn't be a big deal.
The material of this hand cannon was indeed unique, and after fusing with a sea beast royal like Marqio, it could greatly increase her strength. However, there was an obvious flaw.
This kind of fusion could not be mass-produced.
Through mental control, Hayashi River found out from Marqio that Reggins had once built a secret laboratory somewhere in the Foka Tower. The technology that the sea beasts obtained today came from that secret laboratory.
This time, the sea beasts' invasion of the Foka Tower was actually divided into three parts. The first was to assassinate Lieutenant General Fayron, and the second was to awaken Reggins.
The most important part of this plan was to find the secret laboratory and take out the research results inside.
This was also why the sea beasts had sent out so many level-seven powerhouses. If it wasn't for the fact that level-eight powerhouses would be too conspicuous and would immediately be discovered, they would probably have sent out level-eight powerhouses.
In order to ensure that this plan would be foolproof, the sea beast army had even sent out a sea beast royal like Marqio to hide in the Foka Tower for several years. Everything was for that laboratory, but unexpectedly, it was destroyed by Hayashi River.
"Let's wait until we find that laboratory …"
Hayashi River temporarily gave up on researching the structure of this hand cannon. It wasn't that he had no idea, but it was just that it would take too much time.
Since there was ready-made information to search for, there was no need to waste time …
At this moment, Fowler opened his mouth and smiled. "Mr. Chuan, what you promised me before …"
"I'm a man of my word. If Mr. Fowler has any requests, I will do my best to fulfill them. Do you want to perfect the body of [Foka No.1]? I have some ideas … "
Hayashi River glanced at Fowler, a little puzzled by the latter's reaction. Since he had already agreed, he naturally had no intention of going back on his word.
As for Fowler's true identity, Hayashi River actually didn't have much ill will …
"Actually, my request does have something to do with perfecting the body of [Foka No.1] …"
As Fowler spoke, he moved closer and whispered his request.
Hearing this, Hayashi River's expression changed abruptly. His expression was cold and solemn as he glared at Fowler. He ground his teeth and seemed to be gnashing his teeth.
"You … you are the only known descendant of Cromwell, you …"
Raising his hand and pointing at Fowler, Hayashi River had an urge to beat this fellow up.
