After taking a bath together, the two lay back at the head of the bed, with the heater on in the room. Zhang Yantong lay weakly on the bed, having almost been taken apart by Ye Chen’s crazy antics; he seed energized, grinning and asking, "Tongtong, what’s wrong?"
"It’s your doing!" Zhang Yantong didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes. She glared at Ye Chen and said helplessly, "You mustn’t do this next ti!"
"Haha, don’t worry, I’ll be gentle next ti!" Ye Chen laughed heartily.
"But you’ve said that too many tis already!" Zhang Yantong glared at Ye Chen and lay silently beside him. No matter how Ye Chen teased and flirted, she remained unmoved. Soon, Ye Chen lost interest; after all, imagine flirting with a beautiful corpse, would you be interested?
Ye Chen lay aside with his eyes closed, nourished his spirit after a short while, until the sound of his phone woke him. He glanced at the call, an overseas call, Ye Chen decisively answered it; from the other end, Haozi’s voice ca through. Haozi was in Canada, responsible for the construction of Sunset City. He encountered so troubles, hence the call to Ye Chen: "Bro, I’m facing obstruction from the Jia Governnt here in Sunset City."
"Obstruction? Hmph, tell them, we’ve already got the nod from the United States!" Ye Chen snorted coldly, saying, "Also, tell them to stop the obstructions imdiately, or we will impose an economic blockade. We’ve gained control over thirty percent of Canada’s economy. If we get serious, they’ll lose!"
"Yes!" Haozi nodded imdiately.
With the United States’ nod, things got easier; Jia Governnt soon received warnings from the Luo Sijue family. Jia Governnt was extrely distressed, out of the frying pan, into the fire; this made them very frustrated. It’s hard dealing with the Luo Sijue family now; won’t it be tumultuous in the future? Hence, Jia Governnt suddenly acted to prevent actions by the Luo Sijue family.
Ye Chen stayed in Tongzhou City for a few days before quickly returning to Canada. He supervised the city construction thirty kiloters from Ottawa, the capital of Canada. This area spans over a hundred square kiloters; it used to be the headquarters of the Doomsday Family. The number of people compared to now is worlds apart. Within the whole construction scope, batches of workers, along with batches of Heavenly Reversal Gang little brothers, and the guard team of the Luo Sijue family, arrived onsite one after another.
Sunset City is the second city of the Luo Sijue family and will be the site for Ye Chen’s Kingdom. This city will be divided into three parts for construction. The part currently under construction is Ye Chen’s Royal Palace. This part will take the longest ti and will be the biggest investnt, with the Royal Palace costing thirty billion US dollars. Although the investnt isn’t substantial, it will beco a luxurious palace of significant sightseeing value.
Ye Chen plans to build this as his temporary palace, and temporarily doesn’t plan to tell Li Ruo and Zhang Yantong about it. Instead, he plans to let them know once construction is complete and after settling scores with the Church Court, as an unexpected surprise or compensation.
The second part will be the residential area, radiating thirty kiloters outward from the Royal Palace at the foot of a mountain, with an elegant environnt. Multiple fountains, swimming pools, and golf courses will be built. The residential area will have ten large communities interconnected, where the residents of Leisure City will move here, while Leisure City will serve a military purpose, or move the population once it increases significantly.
The third part will naturally involve so ancillary equipnt like schools, hospitals, and entertainnt venues... these are indispensable parts of spiritual life. If missing these, no matter how affluent the life, it becos aningless, like a delicious dish missing salt.
Sunset City in Canada is in full swing, and Ye Chen enthusiastically roams the site, occasionally offering opinions to the construction teams. These construction crews truly cause concern, as they are Canadian teams, what if spies from the Jia Governnt are among them? That would be troubleso. If they tamper with the buildings, it could cause huge problems later.
Hence, many guard teams supervise the site’s construction, fearing tampering.
...
Ye Chen is busy as ever, yet at this ti, an important event occurs at the Temple of the Gods: the Old Madam is set to erge today. Once she steps out, things will greatly change. The Old Madam’s retreat this ti is bound to yield a significant breakthrough in her power. This breakthrough will make Ye Chen’s revenge even more elusive.
At the secret chamber’s entrance, several torches covered in pine oil hang; a red-clothed woman and two white-clothed won stand respectfully waiting for the Old Madam to erge. The red-clothed woman feels uneasy; once the Old Madam successfully cos out, Ye Chen will be in greater danger. The red-clothed woman is concerned about Ye Chen’s safety, thus hoping the Old Madam fails to advance. Sadly, if she fails, she’ll certainly die.
So things only move forward, no retreat. Like a storm breaking through the sky, either soar higher or sink forever at the sea bottom. This is reality. The red-clothed woman remains undecided, unsure of what to do; thinking of this, the red-clothed woman decides to take one step at a ti. If the Old Madam succeeds in coming out, she’ll accept it; if she erges lying down, she’ll also accept it.
The forr has its advantages, the latter has its consolation.
Soon, there’s a tremor in the secret chamber, then, the door slowly opens, a disheveled lady steps out. This is the Old Madam; three won imdiately surrounded her, joyfully asking, "Grandma, did you successfully breakthrough?"
"Yes!" The disheveled lady nodded, then smiled and said, "I succeeded, but I still need so ti to recuperate."
"Congratulations, Grandma!" The won offered their congratulations in succession.
"Haha, let’s go, a good bath first, after half a month’s secluded cultivation, the barrier has finally been broken!" The Old Madam showed a rare smile. After erging, she began inquiring about Church Court matters, learning that Morris had left, she sighed: "Ah, gone is gone, just a useless person, no use staying in Church Court!"
The won remained silent for a while, afraid to imagine if they beca useless, would the Old Madam drive them away similarly. None dared to think of it; they just thought, brought up by the Old Madam, how could she be so ruthless? Though not biological, they grew up under her care, taught skills hand in hand.
The won assisted the Old Madam back into the grand hall; assisted by maids she entered the bathroom. The won continued to stand vigil at the doorway.
The Old Madam’s ergence brings mixed feelings; delight blended with sadness.
The Old Madam bathes and erges, donning a silk robe, with her hair up, the appearance suggesting she must have been a beauty in her youth. Now, the Old Madam exudes affluence, akin to a noble in the palace. She leisurely asks, "How are the situations of the three families recently?"
"Grandma, the Doomsday Family is gone; they were annexed by the Luo Sijue family!" The red-clothed woman promptly reports the situation. Brofei by the side wanted to add but was t with a glare from the red-clothed woman. Brofei initially intended to inform the Old Madam that the Chaikefu family was involved as well, but was deterred by the Red Clothes Great Master’s glare.
Brofei knows her own situation; she cannot possibly oppose the Red Clothes Great Master alone, especially when outnumbered. To avoid disadvantage, Brofei chooses endurance. The Old Madam upon hearing this, was shocked and said: "What?! The Doomsday Family is gone? And Ghost Face, what about him?"
"The Squad Leader Ghost Face is dead!" The red-clothed woman hung her head, feeling deeply accountable, saying: "Alas, it’s my fault for reacting too slowly. Had I reacted a bit faster, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. After you went into seclusion, Grandma, Church Court focused everything on you, dedicating most forces to guard Europe and the Temple of the Gods’ safety. We barely intervened with external powers!"
The Old Madam sighed: "Never mind, gone is gone. However, Ye Chen astounded , how could this guy destroy the Doomsday Family so swiftly, beyond my expectations!"
"Grandma, um... how do you plan to deal with the Luo Sijue family?" The red-clothed woman curiously asked.
"I must understand the current power of the Luo Sijue family first." The Old Madam chuckled comfortably, sitting on the sofa and said: "Although my power surged, it’s still new, unstable, and shouldn’t be recklessly utilized!"
"Yes, yes!" The red-clothed woman quickly nodded, having a rough idea within. At least, for now, the Old Madam won’t personally go after Ye Chen. If she truly intends to go personally, it ans she’s one hundred percent confident, if that ti cos, trouble will brew. The red-clothed woman let out a sigh of relief, her heart sowhat settled. She revealed a relieved smile, saying: "Grandma, since you’re out, don’t bother with those matters now; indulge for a while first. Later, if there’s ti, then consider those issues."
"Mm-hmm, I know!" The Old Madam laughed, saying: "Yanzi is indeed considerate!"
"I’ll have a bed prepared, so you can enjoy a massage!" The red-clothed woman giggled.
