Chapter 1008:
When a person’s position becomes formidable to a certain extent, he will not personally take action but will choose to let his subordinates do it. He will never do it himself. At this moment, that guard has completely enraged the Great Elder. The Great Elder grips the short knife, charges at the guard, and slashes down fiercely.
The guard didn’t even react, watching helplessly as the Great Elder ended his life with his own hands. When the short knife cut through the guard’s chest, blood instantly splattered out, staining the Great Elder’s white robe completely. The Great Elder was drenched in blood, as if he had just walked out of a slaughterhouse. The section from the guard’s chest to his abdomen was virtually split open, spilling his internal organs onto the ground.
“Ah, I’ll kill you!” Haozi growled angrily at the sight.
The Great Elder had no reason not to fight back. The two clashed in close combat, and after a fierce contest, the Great Elder, being old, still ended up defeated. Seeing Haozi fighting alone, with all the guards perishing, Haozi was left alone. Surrounded by over a hundred guards, given enough time, Haozi was basically doomed.
“Hmph, the courage of a common man!” The Great Elder snorted coldly. The recent stroke still left him startled.
Haozi, fighting single-handedly against more than a hundred people, did not choose to surrender but to fight to the death. Realizing his stamina was severely depleted, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Big brother, we will meet again with God!”
Haozi planned to leap off the cliff. Just as he was about to jump, suddenly, a figure flashed up from below the cliff, a red shadow. The crowd barely saw what that red figure was like before it quickly plunged into the crowd.
Pfft…
As the red shadow plunged into the crowd, it immediately terrified the guards because they couldn’t figure out what that eerie figure looked like, only seeing their companions around them continuously being slain. It was a lethal single strike, each cut slicing through throats, with no second cut.
“Oh my God, a ghost has come, the devil has come!”
“Run fast, the killer devil is here!”
Morale instantly collapsed, and those guards retreated in a panic, all scared out of their wits, feeling like the apocalypse had arrived. The red figure was clearly there to help Haozi. Haozi stood still, clearly watching Du Meisha wielding her sharp blade, continuously reaping the lives of those guards. In a mere blink, half of those guys were already down.
“Oh my God, who… who is she?” The Great Elder was also startled by the scene.
“She… Oh, I remember!” The Second Elder exclaimed immediately: “She… she is the woman Ye Chen brought back. Oh my God, wasn’t she just an ordinary woman? How did she suddenly become so formidable? What… what is going on?”
“I… I think I know. Ye Chen, haha… Ye Chen, you sly dog! Who would have thought you’d plant a pawn in Leisure City!” The Great Elder gritted his teeth and said, “Defeated, I can’t believe I was defeated by a woman, it’s simply too disgraceful, too disgraceful!”
Defeated is defeated, in the end, defeat is still defeat.
After those guards scattered, Du Meisha stood still. Her golden hair flowing down, her stunningly beautiful face, few would know that just half a year ago, this woman was taken by several men on a plane, and even her boyfriend was killed by hijackers. It was because she bore a whole body full of hatred that she could progress so rapidly in the Ancient Lava Cave.
“Great Elder, do you still think you have won now?” Haozi looked coldly at the Great Elder.
“Good, very good, excellent!” The Great Elder stared coldly at Haozi and said, “Who would have thought Ye Chen had someone like her hidden away? It was utterly beyond my expectations. Alright, since I’m defeated, I’ll admit it. To think that I, Moses, would lose so pathetically!”
With that, he immediately leapt off the cliff. From here, even Ye Chen would find it hard to keep himself alive. A cliff several hundred meters high – unless one could use the cliff’s steep walls and protruding stones to break the fall, survival was impossible.
Haozi watched with his own eyes as the Great Elder fell from the cliff, without any pause in mid-air; such a fall meant only one thing—death. The rest of the Elder Council kneeled and surrendered, seeing the Great Elder dead, they had no means of resistance and had no choice but to surrender. Haozi immediately ordered the arrest of the Elder Council’s people and detained all the rebellious guards as well.
These people were thrown into prison by Haozi, waiting for Ye Chen’s return to decide their fate; life or death was just a word from Ye Chen.
“Where is the master?” Du Meisha had been pursuing Haozi for a whole day, repeatedly asking this. Haozi couldn’t reveal Ye Chen’s whereabouts to her. So Du Meisha kept pestering him.
“I’ve said it many times; I can’t tell you Big Brother’s whereabouts!” Haozi replied with a helpless expression.
“Tell me the master’s location, I want to find him!” Du Meisha urged.
“No!” Haozi shook his head.
“If you won’t tell me, then I’ll find him myself!” Du Meisha seemed tired of the pursuit, having chased him for a day. Since Haozi had his principles, she too had hers; if he wouldn’t tell her, she’d search on her own. Du Meisha soon left Leisure City.
Learning of Du Meisha’s departure from the country at the airport, Haozi breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Damn, finally got rid of that burden!”
Ye Chen had already flown from the Mainland to Canada. At Ottawa’s airport, several black-clothed men were hiding in the shadows, monitoring him closely, ready to report any slight movements. These guys were sent by the Church Court, constantly supervising Ye Chen’s itinerary, and reporting back to the Church Court.
This return of Ye Chen to his homeland got the Church Court worried. Ye Chen’s growing power increasingly concerned them. Since the last incident when a thousand Church Guards died, the Church Court started taking the Rothschild family’s strength seriously. Little did they know, Sunset City was completely relying on the Chaikefu family’s several thousand soldiers for defense. The true guards of the Rothschild family were mostly stationed at the Canada-US border area.
Ye Chen, to relieve pressure, had no choice but to do so. If the Rothschild family’s strength suffered, future resistance against the Church Court would surely be impossible to win. Ye Chen’s cooperation with the Chaikefu family, though somewhat deceitful, was an unavoidable measure.
“Brother Chen!” Feng Zhixiao personally came to the airport to welcome him. With a cigar in his mouth, he looked every bit like an authentic Italian businessman, holding a folder, wearing a black jacket with a pen clipped to its collar, and sports a frame without lenses. Then he personally ushered Ye Chen into the Rolls-Royce; Ye Chen stepped into the car without saying a word. Feng Zhixiao looked around and then got into the car with Ye Chen.
“How have things been lately?” Ye Chen turned to Feng Zhixiao.
“Things haven’t been looking good lately!” Feng Zhixiao frowned and said, “It seems the Church Court has been intensifying their actions recently. We’ve caught no less than ten batches of spies from Sunset City!”
“How were they dealt with?” Ye Chen asked.
“All dealt with according to Brother Chen’s instructions—killed!” Feng Zhixiao showed no emotion and smiled, “We hung their bodies on the town gates to show that some matters aren’t easily tested!”
“Well done!” Ye Chen smoked a cigarette and sneered, “All Church Court people deserve death; even those working for them deserve death.”
“Brother Chen said it well!” Feng Zhixiao nodded.
The Rolls-Royce swiftly disappeared from the airport, news of Ye Chen’s return soon reaching the ears of the Red Robed Sect Leader. The Red Robed Sect Leader was very curious about the real reason for Ye Chen’s return, furrowing his brow and asking, “Why is Ye Chen returning? Is it merely to see his woman?”
“No, it is said that Zhang Yantong was injured back home, and this time Ye Chen came back in a huge rage!” The intelligence personnel quickly reported, “However, fortunately, Zhang Yantong wasn’t seriously hurt, so it quelled Ye Chen’s anger.”
“Sister, Ye Chen is a man of sentiment and righteousness!” Brofei said as he looked at Zhang Yantong, “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted like this.”
“That’s true!” The Red Robed Sect Leader nodded and then smiled, “If Ye Chen weren’t such a person, he probably wouldn’t have been so furious over a woman, but the elders won’t let Ye Chen off because of this!”
“Sigh…” Brofei sighed. Everyone has their helplessness, and no one has a choice; when faced with making unavoidable decisions, they seem so powerless and pale.
The Church Court has always been the Rothschild family’s enemy, and the hatred between the two is irreconcilable. Both the Red Robed Sect Leader and Brofei are acutely aware of this. Both have an unbreakable affection for Ye Chen and wish to become his woman, but fate plays tricks on people.
