Global Superpower: I Control All Elements - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Luxury Chariot

An hour later, Qin Feng returned to the refugee district where he lived.

The Yunyang Base City had many refugee districts, all located at the outermost parts of the city. If a large-scale beast wave were to occur, these areas would be the first to be attacked.

Ordinary civilians and citizens resided in the inner city, while only elemental masters and high-ranking citizens were qualified to live in the central and prosperous areas of the city, where the defenses were the strongest.

As Qin Feng approached the building where he lived, he spotted a luxury vehicle parked downstairs. In this era, luxury cars were not brands like Lamborghini or Ferrari but were instead super off-road combat vehicles with high-energy alloy armor and micro-nuclear reactor power systems.

Their prices ranged from tens of millions to over a billion credits, making them unaffordable for ordinary people. In a world where power was supreme, even people’s aesthetic tastes had changed dramatically.

At that moment, many refugees in the narrow alley were gazing enviously at the vehicle, while a few curious young people gathered around to take a closer look.

“Xiao Zhou, do you see that? This is the FA-47 combat vehicle. Its exterior is made from titanium-alloy armor, and it’s powered by an S-557 micro-nuclear reactor.

It costs at least 60 million credits. It’s a genuine luxury combat vehicle!”

“Wow! That car is awesome!”

“Yeah! Only super-rich people or elemental masters could afford something like that.”

“What kind of important figure would come to our refugee district?”

The young onlookers were all shocked.

Qin Feng was also curious. In this refugee district, the person with the highest status was probably Chen Ming, a quasi-elemental master who managed over fifty thousand refugees.

Even Chen Ming, who had over three hundred strong bodyguards and genetic warriors under his command, couldn’t afford such a vehicle. Who could the visitors be, and why was their car parked right outside his home?

Unknowingly, Qin Feng walked over to the car.

“Brother Qin Feng, you’re back from work!”

“Hey Feng, you’re off work early today!”

The teenagers from the neighborhood greeted Qin Feng warmly. He was well-respected among the younger residents.

“Yeah, who owns this car?” Qin Feng asked, glancing at the vehicle.

“No idea!” The teenagers all shook their heads.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from the staircase, and two genetic warriors wearing sunglasses descended.

One of them was pinching his nose, clearly displeased with the damp and dingy conditions of the refugee district.

“Wow! Genetic warriors!”

“Look at those alloy blades on their backs! So cool!”

The refugee kids were filled with admiration.

Genetic warriors were easy to recognize due to the ferocious aura they exuded—an almost beast-like energy that even ordinary people could sense.

This was a side effect of their enhancements, one that couldn’t be concealed. Qin Feng, on the other hand, had undergone perfect gene modifications and didn’t suffer from this side effect.

After the two genetic warriors descended, a pale-skinned middle-aged man followed.

“That man…” Qin Feng felt the man looked somewhat familiar and paused to think. The man was clearly an elemental master, at the mid-stage of the one-star level.

“Wait! Look at that… Oh my god! That’s a baron’s emblem!”

“Gasp! He’s an elemental master!”

Seeing the emblem on the middle-aged man’s chest, the kids were visibly shocked. In this world, only elemental masters could earn noble titles.

No amount of wealth or power could grant someone nobility if they weren’t an elemental master. This was the first time the teenagers had ever seen such a prominent figure. Their excitement quickly turned into nervousness, and they held their breath, afraid to speak loudly.

The three men got into the luxury vehicle, their expressions haughty. They didn’t even spare the teenagers a glance before driving away. So, it was their car after all.

Once the car disappeared, the teenagers burst into excited chatter again.

“That man was an elemental master!”

“Yeah, it was my first time seeing an elemental master in person. So intimidating!”

“Hey, Wang, what rank was that elemental master?”

“With a baron’s title, he’s probably one star.”

In this world, the ranks of elemental masters were reflected in the noble titles they received, which determined their social status. Above barons were viscounts, earls, marquises, dukes, kings, and emperors.

But Qin Feng wasn’t interested in any of that. He narrowed his eyes, trying to remember where he had seen the middle-aged man before. Suddenly, his eyes widened, and intense killing intent flashed within them.

He finally remembered. In his previous life on Earth, when he had sought justice for Chu Chu, he had gone to Lin Xuyang’s family home, only to be stopped by the security guards.

In the end, he was even detained by the authorities for a few days. This man had been the steward of the Lin family back then and had ordered the guards to keep him out.

What’s going on?

Why had someone from the Lin family come to his home?

Could something have happened to Chu Chu?

Feeling a sudden urgency, Qin Feng dashed upstairs, taking the steps two at a time.

A minute later, he arrived at their familiar little home. Pushing the door open, he saw Chu Chu cooking dinner.

“Brother, you’re back! I bought lots of your favorite dishes today,” she said cheerfully, busy with her preparations.

Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief.

“Chu Chu, did anyone come by the house today?”

“Huh? Brother, how did you know?” Chu Chu asked in surprise.

So there was something going on.

Qin Feng quickly asked, “Who were they? Why did they come?”

…
