Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Old Acquaintance’s Kindness

Whenever he dread in the dead of night, he saw his brothers from the Divine Dragon and Leng Yue smiling at him. He could not face their kind faces.

Ye Fan sat down.

"Brothers, I’m sorry," he said. "I’m late. I left you alone for so many years. Back then, I didn’t have the courage to visit."

"Now, I’ve co to see you with a heart full of passion and hatred. The Divine Dragon that destroyed you has been destroyed by ."

"But even after taking revenge for you, I can never forget the kindness you showed ! It’s a debt I can never repay. All I can say is... I’m sorry. I have wronged you all."

Ye Fan was a man of sincere emotions, and this was his most painful mory. He never dared to look back on it, for those mories belonged only to them. He then poured the skulls out of the box, a tribute to the spirits of the fallen—his deceased brothers, and the woman he once loved most.

He poured out the wine as well, then picked up a bottle for himself. That day, he sat for a very, very long ti before he was ready to leave.

Those brothers of his had all been orphans. After returning to the Divine Land, he had tried repeatedly to contact any family or friends they might have had, but he could never find anyone. Perhaps they simply had no one else. Their only family was each other.

As Ye Fan finally left, he felt a sense of relief. The weight that had been buried in his heart was swept away, and the burdens and pressures of the past vanished with it. As he left the graveyard, he believed the best thing he could do for his fallen brothers was to ensure they were never disturbed. This was his wish, the sa one he held during his days with the Divine Dragon squad.

Back in Jiangning, he again picked up the files Tian Can had gathered for him over the years. When he saw the most hidden section of the information, Ye Fan was shocked.

Imdiately, filled with excitent, he declared, "I’m going to Su and Hang!"

「...」

Su and Hang Water Town is known as the land of fish and rice. In truth, everyone holds a different picture of Su and Hang in their hearts, each with its own unique scenes and structures.

Ye Fan set out imdiately, arriving in the city without telling a soul. Perhaps sothing—or soone—of interest drew him here. Whatever the reason, he arrived like a madman, and those who saw him assud he had lost his mind.

The city of Su and Hang was bustling, its energy no less vibrant than the capital’s; after all, it was a highly developed area. Ye Fan arrived in a city steeped in history.

"Xu Shitou, I hope your family is still here," Ye Fan said, his voice filled with joy. "If I can find them, I’ll take care of them for the rest of their lives!"

Speaking of Xu Shitou, Ye Fan could never forget him. When he had defected from the Divine Dragon and was being hunted down, Xu Shitou had sacrificed himself in an explosion at the final mont to ensure Ye Fan’s safe escape. It was only then that Ye Fan realized the simple, honest Xu Shitou had been willing to give up his very life for him.

He had always thought Xu Shitou had no family in this world. He had simply overlooked a detail in the files when he last checked. The realization was incredibly frustrating.

He made his way to the Fenghua Hotel. The hotel had a long history; in a world saturated with modern technology, it maintained its ancient style, making it a unique establishnt in Su and Hang. However, despite its unique style, the Fenghua Hotel was very expensive. Luxury rooms cost several thousand, or even tens of thousands, a day—a price most people could not afford.

For Ye Fan, however, the cost was trivial. He walked up to the reception desk and booked a luxury suite. It had to be said that being rich was its own kind of freedom. When he took out his gold card, the receptionists looked at him with envy. Ye Fan was getting a taste of the tycoon life.

He turned to a rather pretty receptionist and asked, "Miss, may I ask you sothing?"

"Sir, what would you like to know?" the receptionist answered enthusiastically.

Ye Fan said, "It’s nothing serious. I just wanted to ask if a girl nad Xu Jiayi works here."

The receptionist’s face imdiately soured.

"No!"

Ye Fan wasn’t sure what to make of her reaction, but he was certain she knew Xu Jiayi.

So he said, "How about this? I have a check here for fifty thousand. It’s yours if you tell ." He then took off his watch. "And this tipiece is worth hundreds of thousands."

Fifty thousand yuan might not have been a huge temptation for the receptionist, but a watch worth hundreds of thousands was a true luxury item. She was tempted.

"Sir, please follow !" she said.

"Alright."

Ye Fan followed, wondering why she was being so secretive. When they arrived at the lounge, she said, "Xu Jiayi did used to work here. But she’s pretty, so she tried to seduce the boss, and the boss’s wife had her beaten up and fired. The boss’s wife is very powerful in this part of Su and Hang, so no company dares to hire her. I heard she’s having a miserable ti now, working the bars in the South District."

Ye Fan erupted in fury. "Get your boss in here now!"

How dare they strike my brother’s kin? Ye Fan swore he would make the hotel owner pay dearly.

The receptionist was startled and stamred, "The boss is on a business trip! He won’t be back for two days!"

Ye Fan’s voice was icy. "When your boss returns, tell him I have a score to settle with him."

The receptionist desperately wanted to curse him. Don’t think you own the world just because you have so money! But the murderous aura rolling off him was so intense that she didn’t dare say a word, nodding quickly instead.

By the ti she looked up again, Ye Fan had vanished.

"A ghost!" she scread.

anwhile, Ye Fan had already rushed to the chaotic bar district in the southern part of the city. He took out a photo from over a decade ago. It would be difficult to recognize the person in it now, and the thought gave him a headache. He decided he would just have to try his luck.

He was a loyal brother, especially to one who had died for him. The debt he owed was so much more than a single life. It was so much more.

The Su Hang Night Market was a bustling, dizzying kaleidoscope of vibrant bars. Ye Fan searched all night but found no clues. There was nothing else he could do. Searching for one person in this sea of humanity was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and he knew coming here had been a long shot.

He searched for another hour. The late-night crowds began to thin, but he still hadn’t found her. Only now was he realizing that finding soone was harder than killing them.

Dejected, he prepared to leave.

I should just go back to Heavenly King Hall and have the intelligence division find her. That won’t be so hard. It was foolish of

to co here so impulsively. How stupid of .

On his way back, however, Ye Fan saw a group of n dragging a woman into a luxury BMW. She seed to be completely drunk. She struggled desperately, but she was no match for the burly thugs.

At that, Ye Fan imdiately strode forward. "Stop!"

The group turned to him. One of them jeered, "Yo, kid! Trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress? Since you’re in the mood, boys, let’s play with him!"

Four or five of them imdiately surrounded Ye Fan.

"Kid, what’s your turf? Who do you run with? You’ve got so nerve ssing with Brother ng," the leader asked, full of bluster.

The others were already rolling up their sleeves, ready to fight.

Ye Fan replied, "I don’t run with anyone, and I’m not from this turf. But there’s no excuse for acting like thugs and manhandling a woman."
