Clown Game
Chapter 149 - 149 145 I am rich

Chapter 149: Chapter 145 I am rich Chapter 149: Chapter 145 I am rich Chen Xiao naturally wouldn’t know anything.

He continued to stand quietly… listening to the sound of keyboards being tapped all around him.

After a long time…

Mrs. Liu rubbed her eyes.

“This is the Asian section…” she said faintly, her voice tinged with fatigue.

Chen Xiao put on an expression as if he already knew: “Oh.”

Mrs. Liu’s body slightly leaned back in the chair, relaxing her brain which had been tense for who knows how long.

Another moment passed before she raised her head to look at Chen Xiao, “The Abnormal Creature Research Area in City K was suddenly attacked, with severe casualties. The current count of survivors… is only 39, including you… Although the crisis is over now, there is still a lot to be handled in City K, so all the staff there have been relocated to the ‘Asian section’… This is what I needed to tell you.”

She said this emotionlessly and then picked up a document beside her and flipped through it… as if the few sentences she had just said were just to take a brief rest and switch her train of thought at work.

…

…

Silence.

The rustling of pages.

Chen Xiao stood still, staring with wide eyes at Mrs. Liu, and after confirming that she wasn’t joking and that her brain wasn’t frazzled from overwork, immediately displayed an incredulous and pained expression.

“The Order Foundation… was attacked???” he couldn’t help but repeat this sentence in his mind…

Because in his mind, this sentence was akin to someone telling him, “Superman was mugged by thugs on his way home!”

However, at the same time, Chen Xiao quickly accepted the meaning of the sentence.

“So, the Order Foundation” doesn’t just deal with those strange abnormal items, but also has ‘enemies’!” he muttered softly.

If the Foundation, with its world-conquering high-tech arsenal, could be bullied, now that’s interesting. What kind of existence could serve as an enemy to the Order Foundation?

Another powerful organization, or something bizarre like “ghosts” or “gods”?

For a moment, Chen Xiao activated his powerful imagination; he combined everything he knew, imagined, saw in movies, read in comics… all together and fantasized about a massive showdown between the two sides, chuckling to himself with a “hehehe.”

Mrs. Liu heard Chen Xiao’s signature laugh and glanced at him.

“Actually, when I first heard the news, I tried to see the positive side, because if you had also been on the casualty list, that would at least have been somewhat good news… but now, it seems like an absolute disaster,” she sighed, her words dripping with sarcasm, though her eyes didn’t really show any ‘disgust’…

She no longer had the energy to despise any survivor, so at this moment, she just wanted to maintain her usual “I get angry just looking at you” image with her venomous words.

After hearing all this, Chen Xiao didn’t retort nor did he continue to ask questions; since she had asked him to come and had shared all of the above, it meant there was certainly more to come.

Sure enough… Mrs. Liu flipped through a few pages of the document, then stuck a label on the cover… before speaking.

“Although the Order Foundation has always avoided appearing in public sight, we do exist after all, hence, there will surely be some who know of us and stand against us… but thankfully, we have plenty of ways to keep them quiet.”

…

Chen Xiao knew that “quiet” involved mostly bloody and cruel methods, but he showed no reaction; given the strength of the Foundation he had seen so far, making a country disappear wouldn’t be too hard. Thus, he quietly waited for the “main character” of this conversation to show up.

A few seconds later

“The Splitters…”

Mrs. Liu said three words.

“This is an organization that has risen in the last decade… These people have never publicly revealed their name, and we’ve just continued to call them that… Anyway, it’s a terrifying organization… What they do is collect and misuse those ‘abnormal items’… They always appear in a few numbers… and almost never directly clash with us, so we know very little about them… only that their members are mostly former ‘humanoid containment objects’.”

Chen Xiao nodded, “So, they attacked City K this time because they were interested in a containment object, huh…”

“Yes, their target this time was C-207, the high school student you and Bai Xiong just handled, so now, he has escaped from the control of the Foundation,” Mrs. Liu said, then placed the document with the newly attached label aside, and continued to flip through another file: “They just quickly took the containment object and left, just as mentioned before, they did not want to have a direct confrontation with the Foundation, but this time, their style seems to have changed…”

Leaning against the wall, Chen Xiao thought for a moment… Seeing that Mrs. Liu had no intention of continuing, he said, “I guess, if I ask more about this ‘The Splitters’ organization, you won’t tell me much more!”
