Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation?Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation
After a minute, the two of them went down the underground parking lot and got into the Volkswagen Beetle.
It might have been because it was night time, but there were not many cars on the road.
Inside the car, the atmosphere was quiet, save for the music coming from the radio.
Suddenly, Sun Yi turned off the radio and steered the wheel while she said, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“I’ve always been curious why you’d helped me. Why? Was it because I helped you out during the incident at the Magnificent Group?”
“To tell you the truth, I’ve inadvertently realized that you look at me with a sense of gratitude in your eyes a lot of times… I’m just really puzzled by that.”
Ye Chen was caught off guard by her words. He suddenly thought of something and said to himself, “You’ll find out tomorrow.”
‘Tomorrow?’
Sun Yi was caught off guard as well. She thought of something but was not too sure about it.
“Silly, tomorrow’s Monday. Don’t they do announcements on every Monday?”
“Fine, but then again, it feels good to have you back. It makes me feel at ease, really.”
“To be honest, I haven’t felt secure for a long time. But you’ve let me feel at ease today…”
When Sun Yi was talking, she was looking at Ye Chen from the corner of her eye to see his reaction.
Ye Chen smiled. He looked as if he wanted to say something when his expression changed all of a sudden and his entire face looked like it belonged to a coldblooded killer.
This urge to kill was something he had never felt before.
Sun Yi felt the car’s temperature drop abruptly, so much so that she could not help but shudder a bit.
She looked toward Ye Chen. “Do you feel like it got cold suddenly? Did the temperature drop? It’s not possible…”
Ye Chen did not answer her.
Ye Chen’s cold voice sounded when the car passed by a junction, “Sun Yi, stop the car here.”
Sun Yi did not react in time. Ye Chen repeated himself sternly, “Stop the car right now!”
“Okay…”
Sun Yi floored the brakes and Ye Chen held Sun Yi’s hand in his when the car slowed to a stop.
“Listen carefully to the words I’m about to say. Don’t interrupt me either. Just follow exactly what I tell you to do and I won’t hurt you.”
Sun Yi did not know why her back went cold but when she looked into Ye Chen’s eyes. She saw an expression she had never seen before. His eyes were unprecedentedly serious and cold.
This person was the exact opposite of the smiley and hippie Ye Chen that she knew!
He looked like a bloodthirsty demon from hell!
“Okay.”
Ye Chen glanced once more at the review mirror before continuing, “Number one, after I get off the car, you will speed back to Grand City Apartments immediately. It’s important that you don’t stop at any cost, no matter what you see or hear.
“Number two, when you are home, grab the phone on the table and hide inside my room. Remember to not open the door for anyone!
“Number three, grab the phone and dial the last number I dialed in the afternoon. Just tell the person on the other side to hurry and bring the strongest person to your house immediately.
“Number four, if someone breaks in within this half an hour, don’t resist. Just surrender and wait for me to rescue you. Are you clear about everything?”
Sun Yi nodded her head fervently.
Her entire back was soaked. She did not know what was going to happen to her next!
Ye Chen knew she was nervous, but it would be more advantageous to her the more nervous she gets.
When the car halted, Ye Chen looked at Sun Yi, opened the car door, and jumped out.
“Go, right now!”
When Sun Yi heard his order, she pressed the pedal down hard and did not bother about the speed limit. The Beetle sped off at full speed!
Around six or seven seconds later, the car was gone from Ye Chen’s sight.
Ye Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around. He fixed his gaze on an SUV Bentley approaching slowly not far away.
A powerful man was sitting inside the car.
He did not know whether he was a friend or a foe.
He thought that anyone who presented themselves in River City now could only be a foe.
Although he could have chosen to stay by Sun Yi’s side, he thought that it would actually be more dangerous if he did.
A normal person would not be able to endure a battle involving a powerhouse.
He could only wish that Sun Yi would not be any danger from now on.
“It seems that one person would not be enough. I’ll have to find a way to establish my very own strength,” Ye Chen lamented.
After ten seconds, the Bentley stopped.
Crisis.
Outburst.
…
In the driver seat of the Bentley sat a man in a suit. He was most probably a chauffeur.
He had a wiry physique, and his stare was ice-cold. What surprised Ye Chen was that he was a cultivator.
He took a few steps forward, bent down, and opened the car door gently.
...
“Mr. Yao, we’re here.”
A middle-aged man with a slightly longer hair came down from the Bentley.
The middle-aged man wore a Chinese tunic suit and on his feet were a pair of cloth shoes. He gave off a mysterious aura, and the way he carried himself gave off the qualities of a master.
He put both of his hands behind his back and stared at Ye Chen who was not far away with interest.
Two pairs of eyes met, and a powerful outburst of strength made the surrounding air rumble in turmoil.
A few seconds later, the middle-aged man took the lead and said, “Ye… Chen. A name I’ve not heard in a long time. Five years, a full five years.
“I had thought that the remaining vestiges of the Ye Family were dead. Never in a million years would I expect to find the young man who fell into East Coin Lake five years ago would be brave enough to return to River City.”
Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed as he stared indifferently at the middle-aged man in front of him. He said, “If I had guessed correctly, you took part in the incident that happened at Cloud Lake Manor five years ago right? So did you come today to kill the last surviving witness?”
The middle-aged man laughed so loud that it echoed faraway.
“To kill the last witness, eh? You flatter yourself. Five years ago, you were the useless parasitic worm that people laughed at. Even if you came back five years later, it won’t change the fact that you’re just useless trash.”
Ye Chen tightened his fists and felt the chilling urge to kill unfurling inside of him. The scene five years ago was carved onto his chest by a knife! He would never forget it! Blood souls started to condense around his body as if he was Asura from the depths of hell.
...
The middle-aged man’s expression shifted as he exclaimed, “Blood souls? This kid from the Ye Family is able to condense blood souls?”
Not only did one had to walk the road of ancient martial arts In order to successfully condense blood souls, one had to kill thousands of people!
In the world of ancient martial arts, people who had the ability to condense blood souls were most of the time a top hitman.
At the moment, however, it appeared to have condensed on that young man’s body. Naturally, it had surprised Mr. Yao.
However, he did not show the fact that he was surprised. Instead, the middle-aged man said, “Who would’ve thought that in these five years you were gone, this useless trash has stepped into the road of cultivation. If this is the case, so what? Cultivation is mainly about resources! Talent! Opportunities! You’ve already missed the best time for cultivation. You don’t have the support of your family. The only thing you can do in this lifetime is to stand at the bottom and look up to us in the sky!”
“I just want to know one thing. Did you have a hand in what happened five years ago? And one more thing. Where is the man from Capital City?” Ye Chen’s tone was as cold as a nine-day snowfall. It sounded so cold it could make your heart shudder.
The middle-aged man beamed. He did not understand where the kid in front of him got the balls to talk to him that way! Please visit f𝗿e𝙚𝙬ℯ𝚋n𝚘ν𝗲l. 𝐜𝐨𝗺
However, some things were okay to say to a soon-to-be-dead man.
He took a step forward and said with a clear voice, “The banquet five years ago was organized by me so that tells you whether it had anything to do with me. Also, let me tell you another secret! The Ye Family would’ve been wiped out that day anyway even if there’s no banquet!”
