Chapter 42: Chapter 41 Wise Choice
"My Lord, this puts
in a difficult position," Chen Ying said. "I might agree, but my brothers here never will!"
Even with over a hundred n standing before him, he felt no sense of security in Ye Fan’s presence. But when his own interests were at stake, he had to be resolute. This is the position I’ve coveted for so long. How can I just give it up? It would be worse than death.
"So, you disagree?" Ye Fan asked.
"My Lord, this puts
in a very difficult position. Even if it ans death, I must fight for this role!" Chen Ying imdiately declared.
"This isn’t a wise move," Ye Fan said. "Don’t think you can negotiate with
just because you have over a hundred n. The truth is, you’re not qualified. Try , if you don’t believe it."
"Chen Ying, I’ll give you one last chance," Ye Fan stated.
"Boss, there are more than a hundred of us! Why should we be afraid of him?"
"That’s right, Boss! Just give the order, and I’ll kill him right here and now!" Chen Ying’s subordinates clamored.
It was impossible for Chen Ying not to be tempted. After a tense pause, however, he still commanded, "All of you, lower your weapons!" He truly didn’t want to make this decision, but he had a chilling premonition that a single wrong step would lead directly to his death.
"You know how to see the bigger picture. I admire that," Ye Fan said.
As for seizing Chen Ying’s turf, Ye Fan felt not an ounce of guilt. After all, if he hadn’t eliminated their previous master, Chen Ying and his n would have been wiped out long ago. Therefore, this territory should be mine, he thought.
Just then, two figures suddenly appeared behind Chen Ying: Tian Can and Di Que. Di Que was especially domineering, smashing straight through a wall to burst in.
Chen Ying was terrified in retrospect. If I had refused just now, I would surely be dead. Truly, one wrong step invited complete ruin.
Then, Ye Fan said to Chen Ying, "From this day forward, the underground forces here, including you, are under my jurisdiction. Do you have any objections?"
"None at all!" Chen Ying hurriedly replied.
"You seem reluctant, but that’s understandable," Ye Fan said. "Di Que, tell him who I am."
"He is the King of Heaven," Di Que stated flatly.
Chen Ying was thunderstruck. Although his own power was insignificant, he had heard of the seven great Kings of the world, and the King of Heaven was chief among them. Even the premier King of Divine Land would seem inferior before him. Now he understood why Luo Yazhi was so wary of Ye Fan. The title "King of Heaven" alone was enough to suffocate anyone with its weight.
To , the King of Heaven is a god! And I actually dared to defy a god... It was impossible for Chen Ying to say he wasn’t afraid. Thankfully, at the last mont, he had chosen to trust his instincts.
"That’s right. I founded King Hall," Ye Fan said. "Your forces are barely passable, but King Hall could dispatch fewer than ten n and annihilate you all overnight."
Chen Ying broke out in a cold sweat.
Ye Fan then said, "Join . Follow , and I will lead your organization to the pinnacle of the world."
"Yes, My Lord!" Chen Ying said with conviction.
The pinnacle of the world... an organization at that level is sothing I’ve only dread of. I know that with my own ability, I couldn’t even beco a first-rate power in Divine Land, let alone a global one. But with the King of Heaven leading the way, I believe this dream can co true! Even though I won’t be the boss anymore, I know Ye Fan will treat
fairly.
Ye Fan said, "I haven’t thought of a na for the new organization yet. For now, things here are still a ss. Tian Can, Di Que, you two will stay and take command of the underground forces."
"I’ll give you half a month. Can you do it?"
"We can!" the three n declared firmly.
Chen Ying was inwardly shocked. Take control of all the underground forces in half a month? If anyone else had said that, I would have scoffed. But coming from the King of Heaven... I have to believe it. There’s no other choice.
With Chen Ying taken care of, Ye Fan breathed an inward sigh of relief. The initial phase of his plan was complete. After half a month, he could implent the next stage.
Ye Fan lit a cigarette and walked down the street. Three had co, but he was returning alone.
At that mont, Ye Fan suddenly sensed a group of powerful auras arriving in Jiangning. They made no effort to conceal their presence, an act of brazenness he would not ignore. He imdiately gave chase. What is this group up to, revealing themselves so openly? Isn’t the National Protection Team going to intervene? Or is there so other reason for this? The matter piqued his interest. He had to find out which power they belonged to.
He tracked them to the wilderness outside the city and hid in the bushes to observe. As he suspected, the arrivals were a martial cultivation squad. Among them was one Postnatal Master. The remaining five were all at the Inner Door Peak. This was a lineup that no ordinary faction could field. However, he didn’t know their mission. They were just standing there, apparently waiting for soone.
Before long, a beautiful figure appeared—it was Luo Yazhi.
Luo Yazhi isn’t that strong. I doubt she can control this group.
"Great Commander," Luo Yazhi said, "for what reason have you summoned ?"
The Great Commander spoke, his voice hard. "Charming Fox Demoness, you’ve known the King of Heaven’s identity for a long ti. Why did you fail to report it? The organization is very dissatisfied with your attitude, so I was sent to demand an explanation!" he rebuked.
Luo Yazhi replied, "Great Commander, I only recently discovered that he was the King of Heaven! I was just about to report it."
"Hmph! Do you think we don’t know what you’ve been doing? You’ve been in frequent contact with the King of Heaven. Speak! Have you defected to his side?" he interrogated.
"I can understand why you would accuse ," Luo Yazhi said, "but what could I possibly gain from defecting to the King of Heaven? Please, enlighten !"
"You’ve never forgiven the organization for killing your brother all those years ago. So, while you’ve worked for us, you’ve always had your own agenda! Now that we know who the King of Heaven is, the organization’s order is to kill you!" the Great Commander shouted.
Luo Yazhi’s heart lurched. That incident was a wound that had never healed. "Since you already know everything," she said, her voice turning cold, "there’s nothing more to say. Let’s do this."
She knew she could no longer deceive them with any pretense. Her only option was to fight with all her might.
"Finally admitting it," the Great Commander sneered. "After I’ve dealt with you, I’ll report the King of Heaven’s identity to the organization. Both you and the King of Heaven must die!"
He advanced on Luo Yazhi.
Ye Fan was surprised; he hadn’t expected the Charming Fox Demoness to be disloyal to her organization. He decided to stay hidden and watch how things unfolded.
Luo Yazhi made her move. Unleashing her Inner Strength, she struck with blinding speed, engaging the Great Commander. Her Illusion Technique was formidable, forcing even the Great Commander to give it his full attention.
BOOM!
The Great Commander shattered her Illusion Technique.
"So," he sneered, "the Charming Fox Demoness is nothing special after all!"
