Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Chapter 107 Looking at Thomas, Hei Bama was grinding his teeth in anger. He, the mighty President of M country, couldn’t even deal with an Easterner? To admit such a thing would be utterly humiliating. No matter what, he couldn’t swallow this insult. Unfortunately, as things stood in Washington, the only person who could stand up to Ye Tianchen was Thomas. Now that this guy had backed out, he, the President of M country, really had no way to deal with Ye Tianchen, at least for the time being.

Moreover, Hei Bama was utterly dissatisfied with Thomas in his heart. It seemed this guy had the strength to defeat Ye Tianchen; if not, he could at least fight Ye Tianchen to a mutual downfall. By then, the elite troops from District 15 could rush in and kill Ye Tianchen. But Thomas did not do so and instead spoke infuriatingly, ordering someone else to do it.

Currently, the top expert in all of Washington was Thomas. Even though Thomas, as the captain of M country’s Superpower Special Agent Team, was not the strongest person in the entire M country, it was very difficult for Hei Bama to find and command the other few experts. Not to mention how difficult it was just to find these individuals. Even thinking about issuing orders to them was futile, as he, President Hei Bama, held little sway over them.

In this era, there were still experts with incredible superpower skill and reclusive masters from the Ancient Martial Sect. When someone became a true master, they transcended national jurisdiction and stood above the law. Facing such individuals, trying to command them would be very challenging as they would act only according to their whims. This is the realm of a true master.

"Mr. President, what should we do now?" Beach asked quietly, clearly embarrassed.

Hei Bama glared at Beach fiercely. He truly wanted to dismiss this general from District 15, who was making him lose face. After deploying the entire military force of District 15, they still couldn’t stop an Easterner. If it weren’t for Thomas intercepting Ye Tianchen, he, the President of M country, might have already been threatened.

"Withdraw all troops and let this Eastern man leave. Also, have Alice come see me!" After saying this, Hei Bama walked toward the administrative building of the White House. He was going to smash some cups... Ha!

Ye Tianchen left the White House hungry, his stomach growling loudly. He had actually wanted to really have Hei Bama invite him for a meal, but ultimately thought better of it. Having been reborn from the apocalypse, he felt little national pride, and starting a major conflict between M country and the Eastern side just because of a meal with Hei Bama seemed quite irresponsible.

Looking at his left shoulder, he noted that it was just slightly grazed, nothing serious. Ye Tianchen didn’t pay much attention to it, and simply walked into a steakhouse. The soldiers in the streets, armed to the teeth, had already quietly withdrawn. Most of the citizens in Washington were unaware that just a moment ago, their President Hei Bama almost had dinner with Ye Tianchen.

Although it was already the early hours of the morning, in a bustling city like Washington, there was nightlife round the clock. Ye Tianchen ordered five servings of steak in one go, astonishing the server who had never seen someone eat five steaks at once in their many years at the steakhouse.

As Ye Tianchen ate steaks, enjoying the night view of Washington, a blond woman in military attire, who appeared to be only about twenty years old and stood about 1.73 meters tall, stood solemnly in front of President Hei Bama’s desk.

Hei Bama glanced at this woman, who was more beautiful than many of M countries’ female stars, and was indeed a bit excited. However, he knew very well that he could not afford to offend this woman, even as the President of M country with immense powers. Without the backing of powerful supporters, he would just be a bare-headed commander.

"Mr. President, do you have any instructions?" the blond woman asked in a tone neither humble nor arrogant.

"Alice, long time no see, how have you been lately?" Hei Bama asked with a smile.

"All right, the matters in the Golden Triangle have already been handled by my people. I believe there will be results soon!"

"The issue with the Golden Triangle can wait; it’s just a bunch of drug lords, after all. I have a very important task that I want you to handle personally."

"Please give your orders, Mr. President."

"Well, as the head of our M country intelligence agency and possessing the world’s top surveillance techniques, you are one of M country’s top talents. This time, I want you to go to the East to investigate a person." Just thinking about Ye Tianchen made Hei Bama furiously itch; he couldn’t swallow this insult.

"Who should I investigate?" Alice asked in her typically cold tone.

"The Eastern man who just caused havoc in Washington; I’m sure you’ve heard. I do not want him to continue living any longer. Go to the East, and if there’s an opportunity, kill him," Hei Bama said harshly.

"Yes, I’ll go back and make arrangements immediately and depart for the East at once," Alice nodded and replied.

"Go, and remember to send my regards to your father," Hei Bama said with a smile.

Alice turned and left. As the head of M country’s intelligence agency, with her father being a general holding powerful forces, her status was already extraordinary. The incident with Ye Tianchen causing chaos in Washington and almost having dinner with Hei Bama at the White House was unknown to many, even some of the high-level officials in M country were unaware. However, Alice, as the head of the intelligence agency, had gotten hold of some information and was curious about this so-called Eastern Demon. She also wanted to personally meet this man to see what he really looked like and what sort of skills he possessed.

During the next three days, Ye Tianchen spent his time eating, drinking, and having fun in Washington. He knew someone was tracking him, but he didn’t take action. It was simply because the city had plenty of delicious food and engaging activities. As for interacting with the blond beauty, Ye Tianchen did flirt a bit but didn’t take it any further, mainly because he had developed a habit during the apocalypse of not liking "second-hand goods."

On the fourth day, Ye Tianchen received a call from Cang Lang. The message was to head to the outskirts of Washington, where a private helicopter had been prepared for him, indicating that it was time for him to return to his country.

"I’m terribly sorry, I’m having too much fun here and was planning to stay a few more days!" Ye Tianchen said without giving Cang Lang any face.

"You, the helicopter is waiting for you, do you know how hard it is to get approval for an international helicopter?" Cang Lang was so furious, he practically roared like he was going to beat Ye Tianchen up.

"Then let it fly back, I’ll play for a few more days and then return by myself," Ye Tianchen said irritably.

"You..."

"Ye Tianchen, I am now ordering you to return to the country immediately," an authoritative elderly voice came through the phone at that moment.

"Wow, who are you? You’re quite hot-tempered, huh?" Ye Tianchen was taken aback and said.

"I’m Yang Yi, you come back to the country immediately!" Yang Yi snatched Cang Lang’s phone and said loudly.

"Alright, alright, you guys are really annoying, I’ll go buy some gifts and then return. Just have the helicopter wait a bit longer."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Tianchen was extremely annoyed inside, but he had heard the name Yang Yi somewhere. It seemed like he was a high-ranking official who often appeared on TV, and since he was elderly, he decided to give him some respect.

If Yang Yi had known what Ye Tianchen was thinking, he would surely have been infuriated beyond measure. After all, as a high-ranking official of the Military Committee, he had directly ordered Ye Tianchen to return to the country. The fact that Ye Tianchen was considering merely giving him some "face" before deciding to return was utterly speechless.

"This Ye Tianchen is really unreliable!" Yang Yi said to Cang Lang, not hiding his displeasure.

"Boss, don’t be mad, this guy is used to being free and undisciplined, but it’s true that he managed to successfully complete the mission this time, all thanks to him," Cang Lang quickly interjected.

"I heard this guy even stirred up a big scene in Washington, demanding that Hei Bama invite him for a meal?" Yang Yi couldn’t help but smile as he asked about Ye Tianchen’s way of handling things.

"Don’t even mention it, this guy almost barged into the administrative building of the White House. If that had happened, it probably would have caused a worldwide sensation..." Cang Lang also broke out in a cold sweat, thinking about how daring Ye Tianchen really was.

"Heh, he’s got some personality. I really want to meet this guy now. I didn’t expect the Ye family to have such a talented individual. It seems they are really rising," Yang Yi said with a chuckle.

On the fifth day around one in the afternoon, an international helicopter landed at the Capital City airport. Ye Tianchen, wearing flip-flops, beach shorts, and a tank top, strolled out carrying a small bag. Cang Lang, who came to pick him up, was utterly flabbergasted by such a sight in an international helicopter. It was indeed quite embarrassing.

"Can’t you tidy yourself up a bit? You’ve managed to embarrass us both abroad and back home!" Cang Lang said irritably to Ye Tianchen.

"Cut the crap. I completed the mission, didn’t I? Have you handled the things you promised me?" Ye Tianchen looked at Cang Lang and asked.

"When have I ever broken my word, Cang Lang? It’s already taken care of, get in the car," Cang Lang said, glaring at Ye Tianchen with disdain.

"Get in the car, and go where?" Ye Tianchen asked, puzzled.

"Elder Yang wants to see you, I was ordered to pick you up."

"Not interested, I’m too tired, I just want to go home and sleep, the climate really doesn’t agree with me!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

"You... Do you want me to kidnap you? You must come with me today."

When Cang Lang heard Ye Tianchen’s words, he almost fainted from anger. Given Elder Yang’s standing, it was clear why many people who would beg and plead couldn’t meet him, yet now that the big boss himself had personally named Ye Tianchen for a meeting, Ye Tianchen was still acting all high and mighty, refusing to go; it was enough to make anyone want to thump him.
