Chapter 607: Rescue

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

To the current Chu Nan, it was naturally impossible for old gunpowder guns to pose any threat.

However, in order to protect the people tied to the ground behind him, he still had to focus. He relied on his powerful data ability to completely control the surrounding environment and block every bullet that shot over at every moment, killing every possible threat in advance.

Moreover, just passive defense was clearly not enough.

While blocking the bullets and all the other attacks, Chu Nan still had to take the time to defeat the surrounding burly men.

In fact, with his current strength and the help of his data ability, this was not too difficult, but it still made him busy.

However, he only felt a little flustered in the beginning. However, after quickly adapting to the current situation and the surrounding enemies were defeated by him one by one, the threat gradually decreased. He gradually felt relaxed.

Before long, the surrounding gunmen became fewer and fewer. When the last burly man was knocked down by Chu Nan, the gunshots in the warehouse completely stopped and fell silent.

Chu Nan took a deep breath but did not completely relax.

Be it in novels or movies, he had seen too many things that happened when he defeated an enemy and felt that he could relax. Now, he could not allow himself to make such a mistake.

After waiting quietly for a while and confirming that the surrounding burly men were silent, Chu Nan opened his left hand. A ball of flames lit up in his palm and illuminated the space in the warehouse again.

He walked to the group of people and glanced at them. His gaze landed on the faces of the people who looked familiar to him and he asked, “You’re President Gates’ subordinates, right?”

Those people looked at Chu Nan in surprise and carefully sized up the flames for a while. One of the middle-aged men’s eyes moved as if he had thought of something. He wanted to speak, but it turned into a whimper.

“Oh… I’m sorry, I forgot.”

Chu Nan was afraid of his head and went forward to take off the cloth ball stuffed in their mouths before helping them loosen the rope.

The group of people regained their freedom. The middle-aged man who reacted earlier asked Chu Nan in surprise, “I remember you. You’re Young Master Dong Fang’s subordinate, right? I saw you last time I visited Young Master Dong with the president.”

Chu Nan nodded and could not be bothered to explain that he was not Dong Fang’s subordinate. He looked around and asked the others, “You’re all from our Earth Federation?”

“Yes, they’re all from our caravan. They’re subordinates of the various Chamber of Commerce like me.” The middle-aged man immediately replied, “Did Young Master Dong send you to save us?”

Chu Nan frowned slightly.

From this problem, they were probably kidnapped by this group of people like him and did not know Dong Fang’s current situation.

After thinking for a moment, he said to everyone, “Contact your president now and see if you can talk to him.”

Everyone was a little strange about Chu Nan’s question, but their expressions changed. Clearly, they recalled that something might have happened to their boss.

However, when they were kidnapped, their personal terminals had already been confiscated. They could only use Chu Nan’s personal terminal to contact him.

However, after the few of them tried, they discovered that they could not contact him either.

After failing, the expression of the European middle-aged man who called himself Saxon sank.

“I’ve heard rumors before that the local gangs on Planet Leppler don’t plan to cooperate with us merchants of the Earth Federation. Instead, they want to find an opportunity to swallow us. These actions today might be targeted at us.”

The others around him also had gloomy expressions. Clearly, they had thought of this possibility.

Now, not only had the other party kidnapped their subordinates, but they had even lost contact with their respective bosses. It could be seen how serious the situation was.

Chu Nan thought for a moment and shook his head. “It might not be that serious. If he was really determined to deal with your entire caravan, you would definitely be dead now.”

Everyone thought about it and felt that Chu Nan made sense.

Their current problem was that they were severely lacking in information, causing them to be unable to determine the exact situation.

“This… Little Brother Chu Nan, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to escort us back. When we contact the caravan, especially the fleet and your Seres Security Company, it’ll be much better. Be it a real battle or having to retreat, it’ll be easier.”

Their current problem was that they were severely lacking in information, causing them to be unable to determine the exact situation.

This group of people could be brought to such a distant place by their respective Chamber of Commerce bosses for an important discussion. They were all quite capable people. Although they were a little flustered when they encountered such a thing, after being saved by Chu Nan, they could still maintain their calm and quickly recovered. They gathered and prepared to leave this dangerous place.

The men, including Saxon, even picked up the weapons dropped by the burly men on the ground and held them in their hands. Their movements looked very skilled.

Seeing Chu Nan’s stunned gaze, Saxon smiled and explained, “We often go to some backward galaxies to trade. We have to master this old gunpowder weapon.”

The other men holding weapons also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chu Nan shook his head and thought to himself that this weapon was only a little threatening to ordinary people. It was meaningless to encounter a slightly stronger martial artist.

However, being able to have weapons would more or less reassure this group of people.

Under Chu Nan’s protection, the group of people carefully walked out of the warehouse.

As soon as they walked out of the warehouse and saw the night outside again, the group of people heaved a sigh of relief.

When they were kidnapped by that group of burly men, especially when they saw two of their compatriots being shot in front of them, they thought that they were already dead.

However, they did not expect Chu Nan to suddenly appear and save them from the most dangerous situation.

Although they could not see the sun in the night sky outside and there was not even a star, it made them feel like they had seen the sun again.

When they turned around to look at Chu Nan, their hearts were filled with gratitude.

Although this young man called Chu Nan looked to be only around 20 years old, his martial technique was powerful and his actions were extremely stable and careful. It was really rare for him to be able to save all of them under such circumstances and even prevent any of them from being injured.

From this, it could be seen that the caravan’s decision to spend a large sum of money to hire the Seres Security Company to be in charge of the security of the caravan was really an extremely wise decision.

Just a random young subordinate of the Seres Security Company had such an ability. The strength of the Seres Security Company could be imagined.

“I remember that there are two old motor vehicles parked over there. Let’s use those two cars to quickly rush back to the city.” Saxon pointed at a shadow on the left of the warehouse door.

“Alright.” Chu Nan nodded and had no objections.

Now, the faster this group of people left, the better. If they were late, there would probably be changes.

The group of people quickly moved in that direction without any hesitation.

He had just taken two steps when Chu Nan’s heart suddenly stirred. He looked up at the sky and his expression immediately changed.
