Chapter 787 - 689, Casino Dark Battle
Yang Tian planted the Demon Wood inside Chen Ming, quickly absorbing the radium-like substance within him.
Chen Ming slowly woke up: "Yang Tian, am I not dead?"
"You are not dead."
Yang Tian used Divine Sense to scan within Chen Ming, sensing the Demon Wood inside him sprouting and growing.
He conversed with Wu Zetian using Divine Sense and concluded that allowing the Demon Wood to continue growing inside Chen Ming could greatly reshape his physical body.
As long as this continues, Chen Ming can also become a Martial Artist.
So he said to Chen Ming, "Sir Chen, I've absorbed the radium-like substance in your body through the Demon Wood. As the Demon Wood continues to grow, it will transform your physical body, eventually making you a Martial Artist. Be prepared."
"What? I can become a Martial Artist?"
Chen Ming was jolted, standing there stiffly.
"Given the current situation, yes!"
Yang Tian nodded.
"But Yang Tian, isn't it said that to become a Martial Artist, one needs to train from a young age? I'm already over seventy, near the twilight years, can I still become a Martial Artist?"
Chen Ming's eyes were full of doubt.
"It's fine, it's practically an external boost!"
Yang Tian said calmly.
"If that's the case, it's all thanks to you!" Chen Ming said joyfully, with a smile: "Yang Tian, don't think I'm strange, everyone in this world fears death, everyone wants immortality. I want to ask, after becoming a Martial Artist, can I extend my lifespan?"
"The lifespan extension has its limits, you need to continuously cultivate to maintain it. Generally, breaking through from the Body Tempering Realm to the Fetus Refining Realm will increase lifespan by fifty years!"
Yang Tian replied.
"If that's the case, it's indeed a long path of cultivation!"
Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh, but his tone was more excited.
"Take it one step at a time."
Yang Tian said.
"Alright, in this matter, I'll listen to you!"
Chen Ming said with a smile.
"Let's head back."
Yang Tian used Divine Sense to scan inside the casino, quickly furrowing his brow at the sight of Kesenton and others conversing with a middle-aged man, who was none other than the current president of Milan, Olanma.
Yang Tian had previously been assigned to protect Olanma during overseas missions.
So, Yang Tian wasn't unfamiliar with Olanma.
What puzzled Yang Tian was that this casino was just a small one in Washington, the truly famous ones were in Las Vegas.
The dignified current president of Milan, why would he come here?
But at the moment, Yang Tian still decided to see for himself: "Let's go to the casino, the current president of Milan has arrived."
"Olanma?"
Chen Ming asked.
"Correct, Olanma."
Yang Tian nodded.
"It's strange, why would Olanma come to this scale of a casino?"
Chen Ming was the richest man in Huaxia, he annually attended economic forums in Milan, and had multiple talks with Omima, and even attended private banquets with Olanma and the president of Huaxia.
To say the least, Chen Ming was not unfamiliar with Olanma.
What puzzled him was why Olanma would come here.
But with an old friend here, Chen Ming was eager to exchange greetings.
So, he quickly headed into the casino.
Kesenton and Olanma were in the VIP room, so Yang Tian directly took Chen Ming there.
"Yang, you've returned!"
Kesenton saw Yang Tian and Chen Ming and hurriedly stood up, just as he was about to introduce Olanma to them, Olanma already stood up, smiling: "Chen, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, I remember our last meeting was at the economic forum half a year ago."
"President Olanma, it's my honor to see you again!"
Chen Ming warmly extended his hand, as he reunited with Olanma, an old friend, exchanged pleasantries, and then asked: "President Olanma, why are you here?"
Olanma glanced at Kesenton, smiling: "I originally came to meet a few business tycoons, but hearing Kesenton was here, I hurried over."
After all, Kesenton was the former president, while Olanma was still a governor, so the two were considered superior-subordinate.
Upon hearing Kesenton was here, Olanma immediately made his way over.
"President O is a person of sentiment, but such a place is unsafe for a president." Kesenton couldn't help but say, "After all, Washington's casinos are underground, unlike Las Vegas where it's legally permitted. Here, gamblers could anytime start shooting."
"No worries, my visit here is discreet..."
Olanma casually said.
Kesenton hesitated a moment, then suddenly said: "President Olanma, have you heard of the Future Era organization?"
"Future Era organization?"
Olanma furrowed his brow.
"Yes, Future Era organization!" Kesenton nodded: "It's a mysterious organization, no one knows who their leader is, they're researching a radium-like substance, if successful could destroy the entire world, the incident in Elizabeth Street was orchestrated by them, and this casino is a branch of the Future Era organization."
Hearing this, Olanma's face darkened: "There's such an organization?"
From beginning to end, Yang Tian said nothing, instead observing Olanma and Kesenton, but now he suddenly felt something, using Divine Sense he sensed over a dozen Death Warriors coming in this direction, he said: "The Future Era organization's Death Warriors have arrived."
"What? Death Warriors have come?" David's face changed drastically: "Immediately protect the president, these Death Warriors are reckless, knowing the president is here they'll definitely make a move!"
"I'm afraid they know the president is here, that's why they sent people!"
Kesenton said solemnly.
"Unexpected they discovered my presence here..."
Olanma stood up, saying a few words to the two bodyguards.
The two bodyguards prepared as if facing a great enemy.
"Yang, we need to leave separately; you protect the president to leave, if they capture the president, it might change the fate of Milan!" Kesenton nervously said to Yang Tian, "Chen and others go one way, while I lead the two bodyguards the other way, this way we can buy time."
Yang Tian furrowed his brow, but since Olanma was the president of Milan, it was best to avoid conflict here, so he agreed with Kesenton's suggestion: "Agreed!"
At the moment, the group split into three paths.
One path was Yang Tian taking Olanma, using Spiritual Breath, heading out of the casino.
Another path was Chen Ming and David going deeper into the casino.
The third path was Kesenton leading the two bodyguards through the corridor, Kesenton also wearing Olanma's suit to disguise himself, buying Olanma some escape time.
Yang Tian, while taking Olanma out, used Divine Sense to scan the casino, sensing many Death Warriors, at least twenty, quickly surrounding Kesenton and the two bodyguards and taking them away.
"It's strange, weren't these Death Warriors targeting Olanma? Why are they taking Kesenton?" Yang Tian's eyes flashed with doubt, using Divine Sense to probe Kesenton's situation.
Soon, Yang Tian sensed Kesenton being taken by the Death Warriors to the third floor; they held out white test tubes of an unknown substance, Yang Tian used Divine Sense to detect it as the radium-like substance. Hence, Yang Tian sneered: "Their target isn't Olanma, it's Kesenton! Clearly, they want to kill Kesenton!"
But what puzzled Yang Tian was, why do these Death Warriors want to kill Kesenton?
Suddenly, Yang Tian remembered the video he saw in the laboratory: Kesenton was talking to a man whose back was to the video, was this man the leader of the Future Era organization? Had Kesenton met the leader of the Future Era organization?
