Chapter 1001: Chapter 971: A Dream of Nanke
Quickly, a major incident in Canada shocked the world, as the Prime Minister of Ottawa was killed by a car bomb during a trip. In response, the residents of Canada were outraged, pointing fingers at the terrorists and blaming the government’s incompetence for failing to protect even a Prime Minister.
Italy, Temple of the Gods.
The Church Court received the news, and the Red Robed Sect Leader grew anxious. The Ottawa Government was a newly allied territory, and North America had just taken action, only to suffer such a severe blow. This was definitely not a good sign for the Church Court. Brofei frowned and said, “Sister, this matter must be reported to Grandma, otherwise, if she scolds us, it will be troublesome!”
“I know!” The Red Robed Sect Leader took a deep breath, but she felt hesitant. She understood that Ye Chen was definitely behind this. Her greatest fear was finally coming to pass. She had previously asked Ye Chen, what would he do if they ever stood on opposing sides? Ye Chen’s response was almost a non-answer. He said, it was impossible for them to stand on opposing sides.
But reality was about to unfold, and she had no choice. She had to face Ye Chen. Some things could not be avoided. The Red Robed Sect Leader glanced at Brofei and said, “You go tell Grandma. I’m not feeling well!”
“All right!” Brofei nodded without suspicion and then headed towards the Old Madam’s room.
Inside the room, the Old Madam was resting with her eyes closed. Brofei quietly stood by and recounted the incident. Surprisingly, the Old Madam was very calm and said, “Killed? Then let it be. I want to see what exactly Ye Chen is trying to do!”
“Grandma, the Ottawa Government is our most important piece in North America. If this piece is lost, all the manpower and resources we’ve invested in North America will have been in vain!” Brofei said hastily.
“Send Yanzi to Ottawa, and have her find a way to stop the Heavenly Reversal Gang from building the city!” the Old Madam instructed.
“Yes!” Brofei nodded immediately, hesitated for a moment, and then added, “Grandma, let me go too!”
“You want to go too?” The Old Madam glanced at Brofei and asked, “What will you do there?”
“Let me go and aid Sister!” Brofei lowered her head, her face reddening severely. In fact, she just didn’t want Ye Chen to die. Even if the Red Robed Sect Leader was about to kill Ye Chen, she could still plead for him or help him escape. Brofei was internally conflicted and hesitant, unsure of what to do. She also couldn’t comprehend whether her feelings for Ye Chen were genuinely affectionate, or if she simply didn’t want Ye Chen to die, which would impact her.
“Fine, then go!” The Old Madam nodded.
Then, the Red Robed Sect Leader and Brofei personally headed for Ottawa.
The Ottawa Government was plunged into chaos, and no one interfered with the city-building plans. Ye Chen led the construction team to continue their work. Feng Zhixiao and others had long followed Ye Chen’s instructions, departing from Fukuoka with the construction team and little brothers.
The first phase of construction at Sunset City had been completed – the innermost Royal Palace, which was Ye Chen’s residence. It took considerable time and effort to build, requiring a lot of everyone’s energy. The second and third phases would be easier, and they could pick up the pace in terms of time.
Sunset City was under full-scale construction, and with the addition of the US and Japanese construction teams, progress was noticeably faster. They were building according to the world’s most advanced architectural standards, and high-rise buildings, over ten floors tall, were springing up in just a month or two. The speed was staggering, and the second phase involved building a large number of residential homes and convenience facilities. These were crucial elements.
A week into the project, it quietly transitioned into March. March remained chilly, especially in Ottawa. The frozen soil on the ground slowly dissolved, absorbing a lot of heat from the air. Ye Chen sat on a hillside outside Sunset City, smoking. As he held a cigarette, he looked up at the sky, his eyes seemingly filled with confusion.
“Brother Chen, why are you here?” Feng Zhixiao hurriedly approached.
“What’s up?” Ye Chen asked curiously.
“Nothing, it’s time to eat!” Feng Zhixiao chuckled, “The brothers are waiting for you to start the meal!”
“Go, let them eat by themselves!” Ye Chen waved his hand, “I’m enjoying myself sitting here!”
“Brother Chen, are you missing Sister-in-law?” Feng Zhixiao was stunned, then quickly laughed, “Why not… we bring Sister-in-law over? So you don’t keep pining day and night. You’re separated from the sister-in-laws, why not find a girl to relieve yourself?”
“That’s not my style!” Ye Chen took a drag on his cigarette, then flicked the butt to the ground, glaring at Feng Zhixiao, “By the way, how’s it going with you and Fang Qin? How many times a night?”
“Damn, does Brother Chen really not know or is he just pretending?” Feng Zhixiao patted his chest and said, “We’re known as the seven-times-a-night dude!”
“Come on!” Ye Chen pushed Feng Zhixiao aside and said, “Seven times in a night? You’re just bragging!”
“It’s true, ask the brothers if you don’t believe it!” Feng Zhixiao roared immediately.
“Who among the brothers knows? You’d have to ask Fang Qin about this!” Ye Chen laughed and said, “Besides, what’s so great about seven times a night? One minute each, that’s only seven minutes total!”
“Damn, Brother Chen, don’t humiliate people like that!” Feng Zhixiao burst out in anger, gritting his teeth, “Although you’re my Brother Chen, I might just fight you for this!”
With that, Feng Zhixiao lunged at Ye Chen. The two began to tussle, and since Feng Zhixiao’s skills were all taught by Ye Chen, it didn’t take long for Ye Chen to pin him to the ground and give him a good beating. Feng Zhixiao was left dizzy. Ye Chen wasn’t using his full strength, just treating it as a friendly spar.
“Brother Chen, can’t I just surrender?” Feng Zhixiao panted.
“You haven’t made any progress, you kid. I’ll have to throw you into the Ancient Lava Cave for some training later!” Ye Chen snorted.
“Oh, right, Brother Chen, what was it like the last time you went to the Ancient Lava Cave, the lower levels?” Feng Zhixiao asked curiously, “The brothers often guess together, thinking there might be something strange below. It’s just a pity our strength isn’t enough to get to the next level. Your strength is formidable, you must have gotten down there, right? Can you tell me about it!”
“Below?” Ye Chen chuckled. To be honest, Ye Chen himself didn’t quite understand if he had reached the Eighth Floor or the Ninth Floor. If Du Meisha hadn’t told him he fainted on the Third Floor, he would have thought he had reached the bottom. Unfortunately, he fainted for the third time and had a dream, and then woke up. Of course, if it weren’t for that Phoenix Rebirth Pill, Ye Chen might have thought he had just had a dream.
“Yeah, Brother Chen, hurry up and tell me, don’t just space out!” Feng Zhixiao nudged Ye Chen.
“I’ll sum it up in four words!” Ye Chen exhaled deeply, looking at the mysterious and boundless sky, “A dream of South Branch!”
“Huh?!” Feng Zhixiao was stunned. Before he could recover and figure out what those words meant, Ye Chen had already patted his butt and left. Feng Zhixiao quickly chased after him, shouting as he ran, “Brother Chen, what does ‘a dream of South Branch’ mean, I haven’t studied much, you have to tell me!”
Ottawa Airport.
Two graceful figures emerged from the passageway, one in a red and the other in a white Roman dress, drawing a lot of attention. The Red Robed Sect Leader and Brofei had just gotten off the plane and there was someone there to pick them up. Inside the airport, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove over, and two Black-clothed Men respectfully said, “Sect Leader, please get in the car!”
“Sister, after you!” The Red Robed Sect Leader, being the Grand Sect Leader, spoke to Brofei, the White Robed Sect Leader, who was still her subordinate.
“Let’s go together!” The Red Robed Sect Leader nodded.
After the two got in the car, the Rolls-Royce quickly disappeared from the airport, leaving through the presidential passage.
Ottawa, Sunset City.
A bustling scene, transport convoys, back-end loaders hauling soil, and big trucks loaded with materials… coming and going nonstop. On this barren land, a brand new city is being constructed. To many, it is incomprehensible, with such great expense and workload, who would want to pay such a high price to build a city? Even Feng Zhixiao and his group didn’t quite understand it.
To them, isn’t Leisure City wonderful? A ready-made seaside city with natural defensive barriers, making it impossible for anyone to invade. But they haven’t thought long-term. Sure, Leisure City is beautiful now, but what about years later? Will Leisure City still be beautiful and captivating? With natural destruction, increased carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect, melting polar ice, and rising sea levels, Leisure City is bound to become a sea area one day, and Lord Rose Castle will become a solitary castle above the sea.
“Brother Chen, someone is here to see you!” Feng Zhixiao panted.
“Who?” Ye Chen, wearing construction team garb and a safety helmet, stood inside the city looking at Feng Zhixiao. Feng Zhixiao took a deep breath and said, “A beauty who calls herself Ms. Yan is waiting at the gate, what do you want to do?”
“Ms. Yan?” Ye Chen was surprised, he promptly jumped down from the top and onto a vehicle, swiftly heading toward the outside. The construction team was already in the second stage, and the distance from the inner city to the gate wasn’t far, so Ye Chen only took a few minutes to arrive at the gate. Ms. Yan was wearing a black coat, with black stockings underneath, seemingly unafraid of the cold.
