Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 685: Section 680 – Persuading Minante

Little Sister Chen's boyfriend, Liu Mingquan, watched in stupefied bewilderment as his girlfriend excitedly tattled on her older brother to their parents, his scalp tingling with unease.

Is it really okay to betray her brother like this?

This wasn't the first time for such treachery, it was routine operation for the Chen Family. The eldest, Chen Shi, had married and settled down.

...

On the Cangqiong Star side,

"Did I say something wrong?"

Princess Lin Ziyu looked at Chen Fei and then at Shen Fei in utter confusion, not understanding why Little Sister Chen had such a big reaction.

"Never mind her, she always likes to overreact," said Chen Fei, who had no intention of calling back.

This annoying little sister deserved a beating someday.

Teacher Shen chuckled quietly on the side.

The siblings' interactions were amusing to witness.

However, this was also the first time Shen Fei had revealed herself in front of Chen Fei's family.

"Shen Fei, have the Hundred-Legs Gang investigate these areas in secret. I'll contact the Rebel Army!"

Chen Fei took out a pen and began marking suspicious areas on the tourist map provided by Her Royal Highness the Princess, areas that the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had calculated. He couldn't handle it alone and had to ask for help from the local snakes.

Subduing the Hundred-Legs Gang as soon as he arrived in Nandu City had been an incredibly wise move; now they were a big help.

Even if he killed a million mutated parasitic spawns, it wouldn't compare to dealing with a Royal Breed entity.

Once the entity died, all its spawns would automatically die at the same time. That was the only way to cure both the symptoms and the disease.

Therefore, Chen Fei planned to cut straight to the point and quickly deal with that Royal Breed entity. The extraterrestrial race "Sagali" obviously had more than one Royal Breed, but based on the current intelligence, the Parasitic Species' invasion had just begun. This entity that chose to evolve into the Ninth Rank was probably just paving the way for a larger invasion to come.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Shen Fei had already gained full control over the Hundred-Legs Gang, not only understanding the organization's structure and operations but also possessing information on every key member. This mastery meant that even without the backing of the female Metallic Dragon Yilan, she could command respect from the gang members.

"This way we can proceed simultaneously!"

Chen Fei clapped his hands. With the help of Her Royal Highness and Teacher Shen, he could focus on other things.

"Be careful, and if anything goes wrong, run immediately, don't hesitate. Honestly, I still don't trust those rebels," said Princess Lin Ziyu, who still disapproved of Chen Fei taking risks. After all, he had already made such a big vendetta with the Rebel Army, to the point where a fight to the death was hardly an exaggeration. Yet he dared to negotiate and seek cooperation with them, it was as if he didn't know the meaning of "death."

"You're going to negotiate with the Rebel Army?"

Shen Fei finally understood the audacious feat Chen Fei intended to pull off.

"To put it exactly, it should be a united front. If there are smart people in the Rebel Army... well, there should be smart people."

Even though the Rebel Army was at a disadvantage in the suburbs of Nandu City, particularly after their hard-headed attempts at the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, where they were roughed up, Chen Fei did not think the people commanding the Rebel Army were devoid of courage or strategy. On the contrary, knowing when to cut losses was also a wise move.

If the Rebel Army continued to relentlessly attack the Dimensional Gate Management Substation and the high-end business hotel, Chen Fei would have thought less of them.

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

Shen Fei expressed the same concern.

"Don't worry. I do this kind of thing all the time. Trust me, I'm a professional," Chen Fei reassured, not boasting. Infiltrating enemy territory was not an uncommon scenario for him.

"Still, be cautious and don't push yourself too hard," said Shen Fei, knowing it would be difficult to persuade Chen Fei.

After all, his job was risky by nature, involving frequent combat and killings, almost a daily routine for a military contractor. There were hardly any peaceful days—a life of putting one's head on the line, with high wages and benefits paid for by risking lives.

Even logistics personnel might have to join the fight at any moment—without the risks, where would the high pay and benefits come from?

"Haha, ordinary light weapons can't kill me. I'm not that easy to kill," Chen Fei declared with a dose of truth. Even the Dragon Slayer Missile hadn't managed to kill him outright, proving he was quite lucky.

Seeing that Chen Fei had made up his mind, Shen Fei and Princess Lin Ziyu looked at each other, no longer trying to dissuade him.

After all, a massive invasion by the extraterrestrial race "Sagali" was imminent. No one could afford to remain unaffected. Even if one could hide for a while, it wasn't certain they could hide forever. If they didn't fight with all they had now, they might not get another chance in the future.

Chen Fei took out his phone and began dialing.

The Rebel Army had blocked most of the civilian and military communication channels, and he wasn't sure if the call would go through.

In any case, it was worth a try.

The long waiting tone sounded several times as he waited for the connection.

```

"Huh? 'Rookie', is that you? You've got some nerve, still daring to call me!"

To Chen Fei's surprise, the call went through—apparently, the Rebel Army hadn't blocked their own members' communication devices—a voice that was both shocked and angry sounded from his phone.

"Good afternoon, Minante. Of course, there's a reason—why wouldn't I be able to make this call?"

Yet Chen Fei showed no guilt over just having wiped out some of the guy's comrades, greeting him as if they were good friends.

Minante, seething with anger, said, "What do you want? Are you here to mock me?"

He wanted to hang up, but in the end, he restrained his fury and continued to listen.

"No, no, no, I don't have the time to mock you. I wouldn't be visiting the temple without a cause—I definitely have serious and important matters to discuss!"

Chen Fei well understood why the other party was angry.

After working hard to serve his motherland and barely getting the "Gale Team" off the ground before it saw action, only to have a buddy knock out half of it—not even a clay man could avoid losing his temper over that.

"Then spit it out, I don't have much patience!"

The blunt Minante was full of suspicion, trying to guess why Chen Fei had called.

If it wasn't to mock him, could it be that he was looking for a scolding?

If it really was so, then he'd give him a piece of his mind, blood and all, followed by a challenge—a one-on-one, do-or-die fight.

"Ever heard of the Extraterrestrial Races? The Parasitic Species 'Sagali'—that's what I'm talking about!"

Chen Fei dropped a hint since the amount of information he possessed was too vast to be explained in just a few words.

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Wasn't the 'Sagali' threat from the Extraterrestrial Races resolved over thirty years ago?"

As a Cangqiong Star Person, Minante certainly knew about the threats that had loomed over their planet for nearly a hundred thousand years.

Unlike Blue Star, where information had been substantially blocked, the Cangqiong Star People had not forgotten.

"Seriously, my main job in Nandu City isn't to fight you Rebels, but to battle the Extraterrestrial Races."

Indeed, Chen Fei had not misspoken; he was assisting the Ground Portal Gate Management Substation in the suburbs of Nandu City to prevent those Parasitic Species from sneaking in.

Fighting the Rebel Army was only a consequence of them taking the offensive—Chen Fei had been forced to respond.

Although Louis Landon's "prophecy" diverged from reality, certain things indeed did happen, like the Rebel Army's uprising, the attack on the Dimensional Gate Management Substation, and the appearance of the "Sagali" from the Extraterrestrial Races. If even one or two out of ten such threats were real, Chen Fei would spare no effort to eliminate the dangers.

If the Parasitic Species were to sweep across both civilizations' planets, no one would be spared.

Whether for his family or for the survival of his race, Chen Fei would not hesitate to risk his own life.

"You're spouting nonsense! Where's this talk of Extraterrestrial Races coming from? They've been extinct for ages, okay? And, we are the Righteous Army, not Rebels! Show some respect, you jerk!"

Minante felt that Chen Fei had lost his mind. The spatial rift that loomed over Cangqiong Star's low orbit had long since vanished, transformed into the "Halo" Dimensional Gate connecting to Blue Star over thirty years ago. It couldn't possibly link to the space where the Extraterrestrial Races resided anymore.

"I have evidence—they're back!"

Chen Fei's statement sent chills down Minante's spine, making his hairs stand on end instantly.

"You're bluffing, don't try to deceive me!"

"I've captured live 'Sagali', not just one, and not long ago, I dropped a 'Dragon Slayer Missile' on Jiaming Town, 150 kilometers from Nandu City, because its entire population had been infested. Surely you don't think I'm some Big Devil who kills without batting an eye?"

Truth be told, the number of men, women, and children wiped out by the "Dragon Slayer Missile" and self-destructing Combat Mechs in that town wasn't far off from the number of Rebels Chen Fei had sent off during the battle to defend the Dimensional Gate Management Substation.

"You..."

Minante was exasperated.

The guy who had slaughtered a whole town had the gall to claim he was a good person?

Who gave you such audacity!!!

Minante desperately wanted to curse him out but couldn't bring himself to do it and ended up holding his anger, saying, "I don't believe a word!"

The enemy had killed his comrades; their words were naturally untrustworthy.

Chen Fei coaxed gently, "Do you want to see the evidence? I can package it and send it to you!"

Right, he had no malice—merely full of goodwill as he... well... kicked his buddy into a ditch.

"You want to trick me again! I don't want your evidence."

Minante was almost talked into a corner, with Chen Fei insistent on convincing him that the Extraterrestrial Races from over thirty years ago had re-emerged.

"If the 'Sagali' invade on a large scale, do you think the so-called Rebel Army, or the Righteous Army, and all your friends and family can escape? To these Parasitic Species, the Human Race is no different than pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep—we're all just food."

Chen Fei then played the family card, a line essential for forming a united front, and it carried significant weight.

Humans are social creatures, and as long as they are alive, they can't escape various social ties.

"I..."

Finally, Minante began to taste what was being fed to him, as if he had been led into the ditch by the other party. He simply couldn't refute it.

The possibility, of course, hinged on the premise that Chen Fei wasn't lying.
