Chapter 870: Chapter 845:
Meanwhile, as the warriors of the Luo Sijue family were cleaning the spoils of their victory, a plane descended from the sky and slowly landed at Ottawa Airport. The Squad Leader disembarked from the plane, and his assistant immediately stopped him and nervously said, "Clan Leader, it’s not good! We just received news from headquarters that someone has taken over our headquarters!"
"What!" The Squad Leader was stunned, and the jade balls he was holding dropped to the ground. He looked at the assistant in shock and asked, "Are you...are you sure?"
"That’s right, our forces have already retreated to North Bay," the assistant quickly replied.
The Squad Leader’s face turned pale with anger, and waves of sharp pain came from his heart. He quickly clutched his chest. Seeing this, the assistant hurriedly pulled out a white box from the Squad Leader’s pocket, poured out a pill, and shoved it into the Squad Leader’s mouth with a mouthful of water. Only then did the Squad Leader gradually recover. He took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "Bastards, a bunch of bastards! Can’t even defend the headquarters! What do I need them for!"
"Clan Leader, we should head to North Bay immediately!" the assistant urged.
"Let’s go!" The Squad Leader gritted his teeth.
When they arrived in North Bay, they discovered that more than three thousand people from the headquarters were living in a cramped courtyard in a sorry state.
"Clan Leader!" The leading officer immediately stood up and saluted.
"What...what happened with you?" The Squad Leader saw these people looking disheveled, some even injured. He was instantly furious. At this moment, Kong Haoran squeezed out from the crowd and began to complain, "Squad Leader, it’s all Ye Chen, that bastard Ye Chen..."
Kong Haoran was cursing Ye Chen furiously as if Ye Chen had slept with his wife. After listening to Kong Haoran’s complaints, the Squad Leader glanced at the family’s elders, who recounted the situation at the time. The Squad Leader was immediately enraged, "A fortress like an Iron Wall, solid as gold, and you lost it! What do I need you for!"
"Clan Leader, we are guilty!" Several senior leaders immediately knelt.
"Take them out and execute them!" The Squad Leader, wearing a Facebook, had a face that no one could see, but they could feel the anger in his voice.
"Clan Leader, spare us!" Several senior officers pleaded for mercy, but military law is ruthless. Soon, a few guys were dragged out and executed.
With the senior officers gone, they could only promote people from below. Everyone below was promoted one rank, team leaders to squad leaders, squad leaders to officers, and officers to generals. Kong Haoran even became a squad leader. According to the internal regulations of the Doomsday Family, a squad leader commands a hundred people, an officer controls three squad leaders, and a general controls three officers.
"Clan Leader, what should we do next?" Kong Haoran hurriedly asked.
"No matter what, we must take back the headquarters!" The Squad Leader gritted his teeth. So much data and a large batch of gold and weapons were stored in the basement. If these things were taken by the other side, the loss would be significant.
"Yes!" Kong Haoran nodded immediately.
Meanwhile, in that area of Ottawa, a soldier discovered a mechanism entrance. The soldier immediately reported the news to his superior, who then notified Haozi. Haozi, along with Ye Chen and others, rushed towards that mechanism.
When the mechanism opened, a cellar entrance appeared before them. They walked slowly into the cellar, which was full of iron cages holding beautiful girls. These girls, with their blonde hair and blue eyes, had very balanced and tall figures, with fair skin, exuding the charm of Russian girls. Instead of avoiding them, these girls looked at them indifferently when the group entered.
"What are these?" Haozi was stunned.
"Probably tools for satisfying desires within the Doomsday Family," Ye Chen said with a nonchalant smile.
"Then... let’s release them!" Haozi looked at Ye Chen.
"No hurry, let’s continue our exploration!" Ye Chen waved his hand.
As the group explored the cellar, they soon found a clue. In another corner of the cellar, there was a room with thick steel plates. The entrance had a password lock, and one needed to input the password to enter.
"Blow it up!" Ye Chen ordered.
With a loud explosion, a corner of the room was blown open. The group went in through this damaged spot and were stunned. The room was neatly stacked with tons of gold. The gold was worth at least several hundred million US Dollars. Their eyes were almost dazzled. Two-kilogram gold bars were stacked into two golden mountains. Countless US Dollars and Euros were also placed outside, all international currencies.
"Brother, I suddenly realize that the old fox of the Doomsday Family prepared the funds for building a city for us!" Haozi was overjoyed.
"Damn, we should really thank him!" Ye Chen threw back his head and laughed loudly.
"Brother, to be safe, shouldn’t we transfer this money?" Haozi quickly asked.
"No need, with this money, we must firmly defend this place!" Ye Chen sneered.
"Clan Leader, there’s more here!" a general exclaimed.
"Let’s go, check it out!" Ye Chen immediately waved. When the group arrived at the scene, they discovered it was a weapons warehouse, filled with weapons and ammunition packed in wooden boxes, piled up like a mountain. Ye Chen was delighted and said, "Shit, not only did they give us funds to build a city, but also weapons to defend it!"
"Haha... that old fox didn’t expect to shoot himself in the foot!" Haozi laughed heartily.
"With so many things here, they certainly won’t let it go easily." Ye Chen sneered.
Ye Chen’s speculation was quickly confirmed. The Squad Leader, with three thousand troops, launched a massive counterattack from North Bay to Ottawa, causing passersby to flee frantically. This news quickly caught the attention of the Government of Canada, which soon dispatched soldiers to protect its citizens along the roads. The Doomsday Family’s Clan Leader sneered at this and was dismissive.
However, when he couldn’t get any advantage from Ye Chen, after a fierce battle in the icy and snowy world, more than three thousand people were reduced to just over two thousand. Moreover, these people had no morale. Facing the defensive force of over thirteen hundred on the other side, they threw down their armor and fled in panic.
"Damn it, the fortifications we built ourselves have become their strong fortress!" The Squad Leader was so angry that he spat blood on the spot.
"Clan Leader, retreat, or we’ll lose all our men this way!" the assistant quickly said.
Helplessly, the Squad Leader had to order a retreat. After a little contemplation, he decided to seek assistance from the Jia Government. The Doomsday Family is now like a stray dog. In normal times, the Jia Government might satisfy their requests, but at this moment, the Jia Government clearly wouldn’t. Of course, to prevent the killers from the Doomsday Family, they had to agree superficially and sent a team of three hundred people, all old and weak with no real combat effectiveness.
"Bastards, how dare they deceive me!" The Squad Leader was furious and immediately wanted to send someone to assassinate them.
The Jia Government had informants within the Doomsday Family and learned that the other side planned assassination attempts against them. The Jia Government immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond. After some urgent discussions, they ultimately decided to change sides and join the embrace of the Luo Sijue family.
Soon, Bowers, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Jia Government, personally went to Ye Chen’s camp.
Ye Chen was very surprised by Bowers’ visit as he had originally intended to discuss with the Jia Government about the Luo Sijue family building a city near Ottawa. He hadn’t expected the government officials to come to him. This made Ye Chen secretly delighted.
"Bowers, it’s such a pleasure to see you!" Ye Chen quickly went out to greet him and embraced Bowers, which made Bowers flattered. He nervously smiled and said, "Ye Clan Leader, you...you have surprised me so much!"
"Why?" Ye Chen asked curiously and handed Bowers a cigar.
"Your youth, your handsomeness, your talent, and your extraordinary leadership have all astonished me!" Bowers exclaimed excitedly, "I am very aware of the defenses of the Doomsday Family, yet you haven’t lost a single soldier in capturing this place. It’s simply a miracle!"
"Haha, that was too easy. Not to mention this place, I could easily capture Ottawa... Oh no, I should say Washington as well!" Ye Chen’s deliberate slip made Bowers’ heart skip a beat. Shit, Ye Chen was giving him a veiled threat. Seeing Bowers frozen, Ye Chen quickly asked, "Mr. Bowers, you didn’t come just to praise me, I assume?"
"Oh no, of course not!" Bowers quickly waved his hand, took a deep breath, looked around, and Ye Chen dismissed his attendants. Only then did Bowers express his intent to Ye Chen. Ye Chen’s eyes darted around, then he smiled and said, "I can agree to your government’s request, but I also hope you will agree to one condition of mine!"
