Full-time Anomaly Chapter 40

The sky was a deep blue as it seemed to overlook the earth like ink engraved upon parchment. It spread out freely towards the distance, and the color weakened as it went further. The moon was half covered as it vanished among the clouds. It seemed like she smiled sweetly, concealing her face and covering her vermillion lips.

Yan Tian drove the Audi on the road to get home. On the road, Yan Tian thought of many things. He thought why had his master wanted him to come to this city? What was the meaning of the letter he set aside for him? And that old loon; why had he given him the ring?

In his master's letter, his master said he was already unsuited to be his master, then afterwards, the old loon had given him the ring. Within the ring there was an ancient merit law. Could it be that the old loon and his master knew each other?

In addition, what was that man today? How could he have such strong power? Yan Tian believed his own power was rather mighty, and in the world, the number of people more powerful than him could all be counted. However, that man had used some unknown method to increase his power and had surprisingly become so strong.

Yan Tian had a kind of intuition. He could feel that the world in his thoughts wasn’t so simple at all. Perhaps there were many things he didn’t know, like the Cosmos Ring he had picked up, which a book had surprisingly popped out from. Yan Tian had never heard of such a thing before, yet he had discovered such a thing on his body.

……

Once he returned home, he found Sun Yue was up to the same old same old. Every day she sat down on sofa going through television dramas. Yan Tian laughed bitterly as he planned to take a cold bath first, since his entire body was sticky.

"Woah, what are you up to? How come your clothes are so tattered?" Just as he was getting ready to go into the bathroom, Sun Yue saw his beaten-up clothing.

"It's nothing. As I was coming back, my clothes got messed up a little." Yan Tian naturally wouldn’t speak of how his clothes were damaged when he and the gangster were fighting. He randomly shot off a reason and entered the washroom.

Meanwhile in Fengan City's Northwest outskirts, there were two people standing in a hidden underground laboratory. One of them seemed to be a sixty-year-old man and the other appeared to be a forty-something middle-aged man. At the moment, they were in the middle of looking at something on a display screen. It seemed like a martial arts star's filmed kung fu flick.

"Hmm, the power displayed is alright, but the reaction is still too sluggish." The old man looked at the screen and shook his head.

The old man stroked his short, stiff mustache, his eyes a tan color that were both set deeply in his eye sockets. He had long unkempt ash-colored hair, and he wore a white doctor's coat that had not been washed for a long time.

"Yes, his strength is much stronger than Yan Tian's, but it's just that his reaction is too slow. The speed is too slow." At this moment, Flaming Ma stared fixed at the scene on the display.

What they were watching was no martial arts flick, nor was it any movie. They were watching scene of the fight between Yan Tian and the gangster. It was unknown when they had shot it.

"Hmm, it looks like I'll have to research carefully some more about this." The old man was slight dissatisfied looking at the gangster on the screen, shaking his head. He snorted coldly: "Hmph, last time, the reagent that old thing gave me got used up fast."

"Old Yang, what reagent?" Flaming Ma asked puzzledly.

"I don't have any of the drug materials at all. Last time, I made my student go rob that old fellow of a bottle. Right now I only have enough to do another test." Old Yang recalled that there wasn’t enough reagent and shut his eyes, shaking his head.

"Old fellow? Who is he? How about I help Elder Yang capture him?" Once Flaming Ma heard Elder Yang's reagent was gained from the hands of another, he thought of capturing that person. If he wanted something he didn't have, he had many men.

As soon as Elder Yang heard Flaming Ma, he furrowed his brows: "No, if you s.n.a.t.c.h him, we'll be done for."

"Then what is Elder Yang's intention?"

"It's fine. I have my own ways of handling this matter. Anyways, your side venture needs to be prepared as quickly as possible." Elder Yang narrowed his eyes at Flaming Yan.

"OK, I can be at ease with Elder Yang here. I've already started operations. I believe it won't be long until I have some achievements." Flaming bowed humbly in great respect towards Elder Yang.

"If it's like so, that's great. I promise you that I will definitely help you accomplish your affairs." Elder Yang nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Many thanks, Elder Yang. Right now, Yan Tian could have already possibly become aware of the different locations of the experimental substance.  How about I……" Flaming Ma said and drew his hand across his throat. He truly wished to kill Yan Tian a bit earlier.

The moment Elder Yang heard Flaming Ma, he smiled and shook his head: "Haha, for the time being, don't make so much as a move against this Yan Tian. This man's strength is very strong. It just so happens to be I am in need of an experimental training subject. If I want this person dead, then he'll definitely be killed by my experiment. Later on, the new specimen can test out this Yan Tian."

"Then……uh, what are we going to do if Yan Tian finds out and tells them?" Ma Yan said slightly in concern.

"Haha, they won't be able to say a thing. Perhaps he doesn't know of their existence." Elder Yang stroked his mustache and laughed.

"What? How can you say this?"

"Hmph, I've already investigated it. Yan Tian's true ident.i.ty is that of an A-rank Grandmaster a.s.sa.s.sin from Sharp Edge. He's definitely not one of their people. Furthermore, he grew up abroad. How could he be one of them? And even if Yan Tian was one of them, and even if he told them, what could they do? They don't have any proof. Relax. I have a back up." Elder Yang snorted coldly.

Flaming Ma nodded his head understandingly after he heard Elder Yang: "Hmm, if Yan Tian isn't one of their people, that would be for the best."

……

Early in the morning where not a sound could be heard, in the eastern horizon, rays of light emerged. The rays gently and carefully permeated the curtain of light blue sky. A new day had gradually came forth from the far distance.

The early morning air was clean and refreshing. Women jogged, causing their moods to feel satisfied. The morning run made each organ in their entire body rise to a rather high level and raised the metabolic rate for the day. In general, for women who jogged for a long time consistently, they could strengthen their const.i.tutions. They would ordinarily be able to greatly reduce their risk of catching a cold, strengthen cardiopulmonary capabilities, remove excess fat from their figure, and regulate their endocrine system.

Yet at this particular moment, Liu Ruoxin was surprisingly behind her villa dripping with sweat from her morning run. This wasn’thing at all like the jogs Liu Ruoxin recalled. Rather it was because Auntie Sun had pulled Liu Ruoxin out of bed very early and firmly forced Liu Ruoxin to make some gains. Although Auntie Sun was only Liu Ruoxin's nanny, Auntie Sun had looked upon Liu Ruoxin as her daughter.

Liu Ruoxin was sound asleep, so how could she possibly pop out of bed and go running? However, Auntie Sun had stood at the head of her bed since the early morning speaking to Liu Ruoxin about the state of her body since it hadn't been good for the past two days. She needed much more exercise, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to marry, and her body would become more and more plump. Helplessly, Liu Ruoxin was forced to get out of bed according to Auntie Sun's intentions and go work out.

As she was in the middle of her run, Liu Ruoxin suddenly discovered a gray Audi stopped at the front of her door. Liu Ruoxin thought to herself who could this visitor possibly be? Who would it be coming so early in the morning? As the villa mistress, Liu Ruoxin was forced to return into the house and see who the visitor was.

But just as she came inside to take a look who the visitor was, she found that besides Auntie Sun, it was Yan Tian. To her surprise, he was even currently watching an animated cartoon?

"Chairman Liu, come in. You're up rather early today." In the middle of watching cartoons, Yan Tian noticed Liu Ruoxin had come in, so he stood up and promptly greeted her.

"Hold up, wait a second. Did you drive that Audi at the door?" Liu Ruoxin recalled that since Yan Tian had come, how come she didn’t see her own red Porsche? There was only a grey Audi parked outside.

"Yes, Chairman Liu. I just bought a short while ago. It's still new." Yan Tian smiled. At the same moment, in his heart and mind, all he thought was: do not ask about car. Don't ask, don't ask.

However, how could what he want be?, Liu Ruoxin crooked her neck to look at Yan Tian: "What about my car? How come you didn't drive my car over."

"Uhh, Yesterday as I was going back, it got hit." Questioned by Liu Ruoxin, Yan Tian was forced to shake his head.

"What? Nothing happened between you and the other guy, right? How did it get hit? How could you be so reckless. Liu Ruoxin listened to what Yan Tian said about being hit and immediately looked at him worriedly.

Yan Tian originally believed that once Liu Ruoxin heard of the matter of her car being hit, she would burst into anger. After all, it was a luxury car worth several millions. For the entire night, Yan Tian wasn’t able to get a wink of sleep, trying to think of an excuse, however, it looked like he didn’t need one at all right now.
