The intervention
/*unedited*/
Two men with aura fluctuations in their bodies are walking towards Shin Jiao and Shi Anne Li. With a grinning face, one of them steps forward with a sharp thin sword in his hand.
"It seems that you are like those freaks from other countries, those… mutants." The man with the sword said.
The man is wearing a hood and a mask with a thin body. However, Shin Jiao was surprised as he felt the man's aura.
"A spirit refining realm cultivator?" Shin Jiao unconsciously blabbers.
But what surprises him is the wind blade that the man was able to send towards them. If he just had a normal physique then that blade would be able to bisect him and Shi Anne Li in half. And from its strength, he thought that the man is already a core-forming realm cultivator.
"What? He can see our cultivation?" the thin man suddenly said as he looks at the man beside him.
"It seems that you are not a normal person. A mutant superhero or a cultivator, which one is you?" the man beside the thin man asked.
"Anyway, we are sent here to get something from you. If you cooperate then we might kill you quickly. But if you dawdle then we will let you suffer… Hehe… from the looks of the women by your side, they seem to be quality goods. Hehe… wouldn't want to waste them just like that would we?" the thing man said as he pointed his sword on Shin Jiao.
Seeing the desire and the murderous on the eyes of the thin man, Shin Jiao's expression immediately changes.
He viewed these guys as a weakling who is trying to exert what power they have. But in his eyes, they are just trying their hard to be intimidating just so he would lower his guard. Suddenly using his sharp hearing and eyes he saw a figure standing outside the car and already pointing a sharp sword towards Susan Tang's window.
"It seems that there are three of them…" Shin Jiao thought as he could not hear or see any other threat around them.
"We need the data for the virtual world and A.I. technology. Give it to us and we will not let you suffer." The thin man said.
Shin Jiao can now hear from a distance the sirens of the police cars moving towards the hotel.
He also noticed the expression of the two people in front of them.
"Let's not waste time… grab the other woman and send her here." The other man with a deep Chinese voice said.
Shin Jiao saw that the door on the car of Susan Tang is about to be opened. With a quick movement, Shin Jiao picks a stone on the ground and flicks it to the man standing next to the car and pointing his sword at the car window.
"Watch out!" the thin man.
Crack!!! Puchi!!!
Arrgghh!!!
The sound of flesh and bones being shattered sounded as the man standing next to the car's window suddenly rolled to the ground wailing in pain.
His whole hand is now gone as he tried to hold his arm to stop bleeding.
"You! I will kill you!" shouted the thin man as he suddenly rushes towards Shin Jiao after seeing the condition of their companion on the ground.
"No don't!" shouted the man next to him but he was already too late.
The thin man rushed towards Shin Jiao in anger as he wanted to chop Shin Jiao in half.
Shin Jiao just looks at the approaching man and calmly watches his blade coming towards him.
"It seems that his blade is an artifact that increases the user's power. Plus it actually has a core… They are using gems for a core?" he thought as he observed the sword as it reaches his spiritual sense radius.
The sword gathers sharp wind as it flew towards Shin Jiao who calmly stood his ground.
The man is already elated at the unmoving Shin Jiao as he thought that, Shin Jiao was stunned by the power of his weapon. So he confidently and put forth all of his strength in his attack.
However, what happened next, made the thin man scared stiff.
With a quick movement of his hand, Shin Jiao caught the blade from the back and stopping its chaotic sharp wind aura which is inches from hitting his face. But the wind it produces causes Shin Jiao's hair and the mask on his face to flutter.
Then with a twist, he made the man loosen his grip on his own sword and disarmed the thin man in two moves.
"This is a nice blade… Its craftsmanship is good and… Hmm… I think I will keep it as a price for not taking your lives."
When the thin man heard this he howled in anger and suddenly sent a punch towards Shin Jiao's face, but was suddenly sent flying towards his companion.
The man caught the thin man who is already unconscious after getting hit by Shin Jiao.
"Take you two companions and get out of here. Next time, I will waste your cultivation and turn you three cripples." Shin Jiao said.

He wanted to intimidate the three because he didn't have time anymore. He can feel that the energy inside his body is beginning to churn as more and more sphere is being used to heal this internal injury. The mixing of energy in his body is making him feel a bit uncomfortable.
His goal is to get away from this place and find a safe place to cultivate and control the Qi and mana in his body.
When the remaining heard Shin Jiao's words, he quickly dashes and took his companions and left.
The three then went out of the place and saw a large number of police and reporters flocking at the scene in front of the hotel.
Shin Jiao is motionless as he concentrated his focus on controlling the chaos inside him.
The two women didn't bother with him as the three reaches the company.
…
The next morning, a big piece of news about some foreigners causing chaos in a hotel in City H greeted every citizen in the city.
This incident causes great tension between China and Russia as the country is now involved. When China learned that the Russian has sent their mutant soldier which they called Variant Squad, they were furious. And a huge settlement was made between the two giant countries.
While this is happening, the government also sent some representatives to negotiate upfront with the NXT Element Company.
The government decided to have cooperated with the company and in return, they are willing to safeguard and share resources with the company.
Although the NXT Element Company is just a small company, its future benefits and technology are far too attractive for the Chinese government to disregard.
So a large government-owned corporation visited the NXT Element Company.
…
NXT Element Company conference room
Inside a wide conference room sat many figures. From the government-owned business called WayWan Corporation around ten people are present as representatives. But only three people present are the true representatives and the rest are just lawyers and advisors.
A bespectacled middle-aged man with neat hair, a beautiful middle-aged woman with short black hair, and a handsome young man, these are the main negotiator of the government side. While for the NXT Element Company, Susan Tang and Shi Anne Li are present with their secretaries.
The young man on the government side could not help himself but take a good look at the two extremely gorgeous women in front of them.
Shi Anne Li with her icy beauty and Susan Tang with her warm yet intelligent smile are making the young man's heart skip a beat.
The uneasiness of their companion is clearly visible to the two middle-aged people, but they showed no reaction to this.
As the meeting starts, they began to discuss the offer from the government which drew a lot of discussions and offers then counteroffers as time flew by.
While this is happening, Shin Jiao, on the other hand, is sitting in a lotus position in the secret room of the company.
He can feel that his cultivation is already increasing and is going to breakthrough. However, it seems that there is really something holding him back. It seems to an unknown power that seems to be controlling this world and maintaining its balance.
"Why can't I breakthrough?" Shin Jiao muttered.
In truth Shin Jiao can see that the amount of spheres in his dantian right now, out of the ten sphere containers with nine spheres each, he has already filled one and is about to fill the next container. But it seems that he could not do so for some reason unknown to him.
While thinking about this, Shin Jiao suddenly heard a voice on his head.
"My son…"
Shin Jiao was startled upon hearing this small yet mysterious voice.
He suddenly opens his eyes and looks around the room. Then with a confused expression, he once again closes his eyes and concentrates. As soon as he did this he heard the voice again.
"My son…"
The voice sounded but still seems a bit unclear to him. And so he further sharpens his senses and listens with his soul.
"My son, can you hear me?"
The voice became clear this time as Shin Jiao heard the voice of a man calling him his son.
Upon hearing this Shin Jiao showed a baffled expression as he didn't know what is happening, and how could this voice call him his son?
But before he can react the voice enters his mind once again.
