Capítulo 1427: Chapter 1425: Knocking on the Door Again!
“Looks like even prophets make mistakes sotis…”
At so point, Hao Jian had already recovered from the pain. He looked at the Prophet with a grin and couldn’t help joking.
“Could this miscalculation be a blemish on your record as a prophet?”
Hearing this, the Prophet couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “You’re one to talk! With those screams of yours, I’m afraid people miles away heard you.”
“You call yourself the God of Death, yet you don’t talk about yourself? ‘Healed wounds forget the pain’ is a saying ant for people like you.”
Though he hadn’t personally experienced the pain, the fact that it reduced the rock-solid God of Death to such a state was enough to show that the pain was inhuman. Only soone much stronger than the God of Death could endure it. But in this world, who could possibly have strength several tis greater than the God of Death?
No one even has strength fifty percent greater than the God of Death.
“Alright, do you two still have ti to bicker? Now that you’re healed, shouldn’t you go help those families?” You Yang gathered his tools while looking at the two and said, “Weren’t you repeatedly telling
sothing happened in Huaxia and you had to help? What now, you’re just sitting here?”
“God of Death, your body needs another hour of rest. You can let the Prophet handle so of the situations first. As long as he doesn’t overdo it, those guys won’t challenge the Prophet.”
Currently, so people in the dark world are trying to find the Battle Prophet, but with Hao Jian’s help, they can’t find him at all.
Since they couldn’t find him, they had no choice but to carefully gather all sorts of information. Unfortunately, this ti when the Prophet went to the Vatican to rescue Hao Jian, he exposed himself, and his location ended up on the desks of various powers.
However, once these forces discovered that the territory belonged to the God of Death, it ant that the Prophet was under his protection. If they dared to make a move on the Prophet, it would be an offense to the God of Death.
If Hao Jian got angry because of this, they’d definitely be the ones who’d get beaten, without a doubt. After all, outside, Hao Jian does have so connections. Just the subordinates on God of Death Island alone would be enough for them to handle.

“Young master!”
In a villa of traditional style within the Cao Family, Cao Zhile looked at the subordinate standing before him and asked, “So? What did that guy say?”
“Well…”
The subordinate was sowhat uneasy, beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead. He was scratching his head, unsure of how to begin.
Just a mont ago, he had called the expert Cao Zhile ntioned, planning to hire him for one million as they had before.
He thought the guy would agree, but instead, he said he wanted thirty million. Without it, don’t even think about getting him to act.
This subordinate naturally wouldn’t agree to such a price since he knew the financial state of his young master. Adding everything together, it’s just a few hundred million, and he’s stingy enough not to want to spend thirty million.
“Speak!”
Cao Zhile had an unpleasant expression, annoyed with the subordinate’s hesitant way of talking. His tone also showed his displeasure, which startled the subordinate even more. His already nervous heart beca even more uneasy.
“I…”
The subordinate swallowed hard, trying several tis to speak, but found no voice coming out. Seeing the darkening expression of his young master, he finally spoke.
“The guy said… without thirty million, don’t even think about getting him involved…”
“Bang!”
As expected, upon hearing this, Cao Zhile’s face imdiately turned ugly. A trace of malice flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, “Jiang Long, you’re pushing it too far!”
“Giving you a million was already giving you face. If it weren’t for my family’s restrictions, needing you specifically, would I even have to ask you?! And now you dare ask for thirty million?!”
Cao Zhile roared, causing the subordinate to grow increasingly alard. Though the anger wasn’t directed at him, it was the first ti he’d seen such fury in Cao Zhile, indicating just how infuriated he was by this Jiang Long.
Previously, when he dealt with Jiang Long, just a few hundred thousand was enough to have him beat soone up. Later, the price went up to a million to save face. But now this guy dared to ask for an exorbitant thirty million; was he trying to ss with him?!
“Hmph!”
After a long bout of yelling, Cao Zhile finally cald down, turning coldly toward his subordinate. “Forget Jiang Long. Go and gather the others, tell them I’ll pay a million to hire them!”
The subordinate nodded quickly. “Yes, young master, I’ll imdiately gather them.”
“Alright,”
Cao Zhile nodded, then slowly stood up. “Get them here quickly. I’ll head over, and you bring them directly. I don’t want that guy slipping away!”
“I haven’t even settled the score for my face yet…”
Cao Zhile touched his cheek, his expression gradually darkening. Although the family’s doctors had treated him and the swelling had gone down, he still felt a burning pain. As a Cao Family mber, how could he let this affront go unpunished outside?!
“Yes, young master!” The subordinate nodded, quickly turned around, and left. Once outside the villa, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, realizing how close he was to having been killed by Cao Zhile’s wrath. In the end, he got off lucky, and Cao Zhile didn’t take his frustration out on him.
After walking a distance, he realized that his back was soaked with sweat. Smiling wryly, he reached his car and set off to find the people Cao Zhile ntioned.
Those people were essentially a nearby assassin group, though not particularly powerful. In this area, they were weaker due to the Cao Family connection, but elsewhere, they might be top-tier.
“Hmph! This ti, let’s see where you can run! Even dared to lay hands on my woman without weighing your worth?!”
Within the villa, Cao Zhile snorted, stood up, and left in one of his subordinates’ cars, speeding toward You Yang’s pharmacy.
“You Yang, this ti I want to see who can protect you. I’ll let you know who’s really powerful!” Perhaps due to the blow dealt by the Prophet, Cao Zhile abandoned the idea of playing slowly with You Yang, opting for a more straightforward approach.
“Sotis necessary ans have to be employed.” Cao Zhile’s gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, a touch of chill in his glance. Though he couldn’t compare to his brothers in terms of power and status within the family, when it ca to fearlessness, he was unmatched.
Since his influence couldn’t provoke anyone unbeatable, the family would back him if needed, but he had to take the first steps. This served to train mbers’ abilities, though Cao Zhile didn’t care too much about it.
If he could handle it, he’d solve it himself. Barring absolute necessity, he wouldn’t lower his head and ask the family for help. Even as a second-generation family mber, he had his dignity.

“God of Death, that guy is back.”
In You Yang’s pharmacy, the Prophet, who was initially planning to joke with Hao Jian, frowned slightly. Glancing at Hao Jian, he helplessly said.
Hao Jian imdiately laughed, “Who told you not to scare them enough the first ti? Now I’m caught up dealing with these small fry.”
“If not for not wanting you disturbed?” Upon hearing Hao Jian say that, the Prophet’s anger was reignited. “If I’d beaten them badly, their backup would co after us directly!”
“If they fight us and disturb your peace, how can you rest easy and heal? Will Little Yang keep treating you?”
Hao Jian sheepishly rubbed his nose, avoiding the awkward topic. Instead, he stood up with a chuckle, “Since that guy’s back, let
have so fun. My body’s just recovering, so I’ll use him for practice.”
“Just don’t kill him. Little Yang hopes to remain hidden here. If you kill soone, Little Yang will have to relocate.” Seeing Hao Jian’s intent, the Prophet couldn’t help but remind him. He genuinely feared Hao Jian might act on impulse, causing a tragedy.
“Got it. I’m aware of You Yang’s situation.” Hao Jian nodded, glanced at You Yang, and smiled, “Watch
drive away those so-called suitors for you. That way, you won’t be bothered by that guy any longer.”
“Okay…” You Yang nodded slightly and responded softly.
