Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 216 Helicopters

A loud "Boom!" accompanied by a slight tremor in the research lab came from beneath his feet, making him initially think it was an earthquake.

Qin Xiaochuan's face turned pale. What kind of explosion would it take to achieve such power?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry about the people in the underground space, but no matter how he tried, he couldn't open the elevator door in front of him.

"Damn it." Qin Xiaochuan punched the wall, and the thick cement wall was punched through.

Just as Qin Xiaochuan was considering whether to dismantle the structure layer by layer, a sound of breaking glass suddenly came from the room behind him.

Qin Xiaochuan turned around abruptly. The source of the sound was Si Chennan's personal research room, the place where the other party was currently unconscious.

He rushed over to see what was going on, and heard a loud engine roar. He saw a person in a black combat suit carrying Si Chennan and jumping out of the window.

"Stop!" He rushed over immediately, trying to grab the other person, but it was too late. A Black Hawk helicopter hovered in the night sky, and the person holding Si Chennan was hanging below the helicopter, gradually being taken into the darkness.

In the distance, flames were already shooting into the sky, and the sound of violent explosions was coming from there. Qin Xiaochuan didn't know what was happening; he could only see a huge creature rampaging through the darkness.

He frowned, several thoughts flashing through his mind. The place where the fire was raging was obviously where Han Kexin and the others were fighting. Si Chennan, who was unconscious, had been taken away by an unknown person. No matter which side he went to support, he would be somewhat unable to help.

Just then, his gaze suddenly fell upon something—the bionic wings that Si Chennan had solemnly introduced to Guo Shiyi a few days ago. At the time, he had only listened to it briefly and didn't know if they could actually fly.

Faced with an overwhelming situation, he had no time to think, so Qin Xiaochuan decisively put on his wings.

The bionic wings are foldable, and once the wings are outstretched, it's impossible to jump out of the window. So he could only press the start switch on his shoulder the instant he jumped out.

His outstretched wings significantly reduced his falling speed, but he still couldn't control himself, so he bounced up and down in the air, almost crashing to the ground several times.

He tried his best to recall what Si Chennan had said at the time, and after trying almost all the control switches, he was finally able to fly steadily in the air.

The helicopter was now just a blurry shadow. He channeled spiritual energy into its wings to speed up and catch up, while simultaneously turning on his headset to try and contact Han Kexin.

"Hey, where are you guys right now?"

As Han Kexin started the sports car's engine, she said, "I was just about to tell you. There's a big guy chasing us. We're planning to lure it to Central Park. Have you dealt with it yet? If you have, find a place to hide quickly. I'll meet up with you after I've taken care of things here."

"My situation is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to explain it right now. Anyway, should I chase after another helicopter?" Qin Xiaochuan said loudly, and the whistling sound of the helicopter came through his earpiece to Han Kexin.

"A helicopter?" Han Kexin frowned. "Are you in the air right now?"

Your one-stop haven for novel reading.

"Yes, it used a pair of bionic wings. The people on the helicopter took away Si Chennan, whom I had knocked unconscious."

"The other party is most likely someone sent by Si Haotian. Just follow them from a distance and don't confront them directly. We'll take action after we meet up with you." Han Kexin stepped on the gas, and the roar of the engine pierced the darkness. The sports car shot onto the road like a bolt of lightning.

"I understand. Be careful over there. I'll send you the location once we find their hideout." Qin Xiaochuan said, then hung up the headset and sped off toward the blurry black figure in the night sky.

Si Chennan slowly opened his eyes, frowned as he looked at the three people in combat suits in the helicopter, and finally his gaze settled on the man facing him.

"You're awake. How are you feeling now?" the man asked with concern.

"Dad?" he exclaimed in surprise, "What happened? How did I get here? What are you all planning to do now?"

"It seems there are some things you should know," Si Haotian said, pulling back the curtains and gesturing for him to look outside.

Through the helicopter window, Si Chennan saw flames shooting into the sky in the distance. In the firelight, a huge, beast-like creature was running at high speed, clearly chasing something. As it ran, it would occasionally spew out streams of flame.

Si Chennan's expression changed slightly, but then he heard his father say in a deep voice, "We call it 'The Punisher,' an outstanding work of art and also an excellent war machine. It was originally a gift I prepared to join the 'Ebi Club,' but it seems it's no longer needed. I think your uncle is operating it right now."

"The Ebi Club?" Si Chennan looked at his father in confusion. His intuition was right; the family was indeed secretly planning something.

"As I told you, there are some forces at the very top of the social hierarchy in this world. They possess enough power to control the entire world. The Ebi Club is such a place. Every member of it is one of the world's top billionaires, and it can be said that they control more than 60 percent of the world's wealth."

Si Haotian paused for a moment and continued, "If they wanted to, they could easily start a war and destroy a small or medium-sized country. We were originally only one step away from this club, but now, they have probably closed the door to us forever."

It took Si Chennan a long time to process what his father had said before he finally spoke, "Actually, I think our family is already strong enough. There's absolutely no need for us to join the 'Ebi Club.' Now that things are like this, how do you plan to end this?"

"After the 'Punisher' is exposed, those demon hunters will definitely not let us go." Si Haotian looked at his son. "But it's better this way. It's better to be captured by the demon hunters than to be eliminated by the club. Don't worry, I've already prepared a way out for you. Those demon hunters should only capture me and your uncle."

"Dad!" Si Chennan was a little agitated, but Si Haotian reached out and stopped him from saying anything more.

"But before it all ends, I need to tell you a few things, so you can understand how our family has developed to where it is today."
