Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Thorough Mastery
The door opened amidst Ye Fan’s confusion, and a fearful Wood led him inside.
I really want to know who this woman is, Ye Fan thought. When he saw the figure seated with her back to him, he was struck by a sense of familiarity, as if she were one of his old flas. In that instant, he thought he knew who it was.
"Madam!" Wood said respectfully.
Two won stood beside the seated figure. One of them spoke, "Madam asks what you want with her. And why have you brought an outsider to see her? Are you challenging her authority?"
Her words frightened Wood half to death. He quickly said, "Madam, he is—!"
But just as he was about to say Ye Fan’s na, Ye Fan stepped forward.
"What are you doing?" the two won shouted, displeased that he would just walk up like that. They were already braced for a fight.
Wood jumped in fright. Are they going to fight now? Well, it’s not my problem. Regardless of who dies, Iron Blood Heavy Industry will endure. At most, it will just get a new master.
Ye Fan ignored the two won and continued to advance. They exchanged a glance and charged at him simultaneously.
Just then, Ye Fan moved, instantly subduing the two murderous won. He then walked up and placed a hand on the shoulder of the seated figure.
"Damn, it’s a mannequin," Ye Fan muttered, rendered speechless. The seated figure wasn’t a living person at all, but a mannequin that looked just like one of his won.
"Where is she?" Ye Fan asked coldly.
The two won glared at him, their eyes seeming to want to devour him, but Ye Fan paid them no mind.
Just then, a voice echoed through the room. "I never expected the Killing God of Divine Land to personally visit such a small place. This is quite beyond my expectations."
That voice is really familiar, Ye Fan thought, now almost certain of her identity.
"Scarlett, long ti no see," he said imdiately.
She was Scarlett, the Queen of Heaven, a global superstar. But just six months ago, she had withdrawn from the entertainnt industry. No one knew why. Her departure had been sensational news, dominating headlines for days on end. The world had assud it was just a publicity stunt, but she had truly left. Since then, not even the paparazzi had managed to get a picture of her.
I never imagined she’d be the woman behind Iron Blood Heavy Industry, he mused. He had always known Scarlett was no ordinary person. She had thrived globally on her own rits, and no one dared to provoke her or even start a scandalous rumor about her—with the exception of himself, of course. Still, he never expected that she would accomplish such monuntal things after leaving the entertainnt world.
At that mont, Scarlett’s charming laugh filled the air. "I’m flattered the King of Heaven still rembers a re actress like . I thought you had forgotten
long ago."
"Where are you?" Ye Fan asked.
"Just look at the big screen."
On the screen, Ye Fan was struck dumb. Walker was knocked unconscious. As for Luo Ling, she was tied up by Scarlett. Her state, combined with that seductive posture, was indeed bizarre!
Ye Fan threw a punch, shattering the screen. He then rushed out the door.
Luo Ling looked at Scarlett in fear. A third of my success is thanks to her. I only beca a global superstar because I co-starred with her right at the start of my career, which is how fans all over the world got to know . I never thought Sister Scarlett, who has always been so good to , would suddenly kidnap . It had caught her completely off guard.
Ye Fan burst through the door. Scarlett said teasingly, "You’re here."
"Why would you do this to Luo Ling?" Ye Fan demanded.
Scarlett untied Luo Ling’s ropes. "I treat her like my own little sister, so I was just playing a little joke on her, giving her a bit of a thrill."
Hearing this, Luo Ling was rendered speechless. This is not the kind of thrill I want.
"Sister Scarlett," Luo Ling said with difficulty, "let’s not et in such an... exhilarating way in the future, shall we?"
"Sure," Scarlett replied cheerfully.
"Luo Ling, you go outside first. I need to talk to her," Ye Fan said.
Although reluctant, Luo Ling nodded and left. After all, this was the sister she admired most, even if that sister had just played a huge prank on her.
The mont she was gone, Scarlett sat down in Ye Fan’s lap. Among all my won, she has always been the most forward. Half a year apart has only made her more passionate, he thought.
"You’ve beco the owner of Iron Blood Heavy Industry?" Ye Fan asked.
"What, I can’t?"
"No, that’s not it. I’m just shocked that you, a woman, could beco such a titan," Ye Fan said quickly.
After all, when Iron Blood Heavy Industry strong-ard Global International for fifty percent of its shares, all the other major players scrambled to cut ties with the company. Calling her a titan is perfectly fitting.
"Must we won be born weak?" Scarlett said. "You truly have no idea about my background."
"Oh? Then tell ." Ye Fan was genuinely curious now. Her background had to be extraordinary.
"You don’t know my background," Scarlett said, "but I know exactly what you’ve been up to these past six months."
"And what’s that?"
Ye Fan gave her rear a firm slap. Not only did she not blush, but she grew even more forward.
She said, "You ended the legends of several Kings of the International Dark World, helped the Vampire Clan repel the Werewolf Tribe, and even destroyed the Mo Sect, the world’s greatest poison arts sect."
Her words stunned him. How could she know all of this? This woman is truly sothing else. It seed Scarlett’s background was even more complex than he had imagined. He had slept with her countless tis, yet he knew so little about her. After all, he had always seen her as a re superstar, assuming at most that she ca from a powerful family that had bankrolled her global fa. Now, however, it was clear things weren’t nearly that simple. Scarlett was by no ans an ordinary person.
"Who exactly are you?" Ye Fan asked her.
"I’m not telling you. Besides, you carry the decadent stench of the Vampire Clan. I despise it. I never thought you were a man with so little self-respect," Scarlett said with disgust.
"You should watch what you say," Ye Fan retorted. "You can’t just slander
like that."
"Am I wrong?" Scarlett replied. "You’ve stooped so low as to sleep with a vampiress. That must be why you helped them defeat the Werewolf Tribe, right?"
At her words, Ye Fan was once again speechless. He had indeed slept with Heather, but how did Scarlett know? It was as if she could see right through him.
