Chapter 11

“I think this incident might have something to do with the Ye family…” Another man, slender and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pushed his glasses up as he spoke.

“The Ye family?

You’re not telling me it was that loser, Ye Tianchen, are you?” the short and plump man said with a hint of mockery.

Hearing the ridicule in the short and plump man’s voice, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses didn’t continue speaking.

Instead, he glanced at Luo Lei next to him.

Luo Lei was Luo Tao’s elder brother and the heir of the Luo family.

Besides, having joined the Falcon Unit, he was even more arrogant than Luo Tao; otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone after Ye Tianchen, a man he had no deep grudge against.

He had even paid off the editor-in-chief of the Capital City’s biggest gossip newspaper to publish damaging stories about Ye Tianchen.

The reason the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said this was because he also knew that the gossip published in the newspaper were all lies concocted by Luo Lei to deal with his romantic rival, Ye Tianchen.

In other words, the fact that Ye Tianchen could come back alive could very well be due to his own strength.

If that was the case, it would indeed be very suspicious.

“Ye Tianchen?

The Ye family has already declined.

That disgrace who brought shame to his family—I could crush him with one finger!” Luo Lei said with a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth.

Actually, Luo Lei himself was also feeling some trepidation.

Could it really be that the ‘loser’ Ye Tianchen had hurt his brother?

That guy used to be a spendthrift who brought great shame to his family, making the Ye family unable to hold their heads up in Capital City.

Even if he later had some realizations and joined the military, he would absolutely not dare lay a hand on the Luo family.

Even in a one-on-one fight, he, having joined the elite Falcon Unit, could easily take care of him.

Did this guy really dare to make a move?

“There’s a piece of news…

I don’t know whether I should speak of it or not,” the man with the gold-rimmed glasses hesitated.

“Glasses, just f*****g say it if you have something to say.

After all, your father is the chief of the Kyoto Police Department.

Are you afraid of causing trouble?” the short and plump man said a bit irritably.

“Go on, Glasses, say whatever it is.

The Ye family isn’t much of anything,” Luo Lei said with a sneer.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses was much more restrained compared to the short and plump man and Luo Lei.

Although also arrogant, he knew the waters in Capital City ran deep, and it was best not to offend people unnecessarily—certainly not outright—because everyone understands the principle that the environment changes, and you never know when you might need someone’s help.

Who can say for sure?

However, despite his cautiousness, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was still very arrogant; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become close friends with Luo Lei.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Indeed, as they understood it, the Ye family had already declined, and after the scandalous prodigal Ye Tianchen became well-known throughout the city, bringing huge shame to the Ye family, many people viewed the Ye family with condescension, not taking them seriously at all.

“The news I heard is that, after being ambushed, only Ye Tianchen and Han Jie were left out of the seven special forces members.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen burst out with incredible combat strength, killed all the bandits, successfully completed the mission, and carried Han Jie back…” the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said with a tone of surprise.

Luo Lei and the short and plump man both frowned upon hearing what the man with the gold-rimmed glasses said.

They indeed hadn’t heard this news.

The father of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses was the chief of the Kyoto Police Department, and in such a place teeming with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, being able to become the police chief was quite remarkable.

Plus, as part of the military and police establishments, they could get wind of certain rumors.

After Ye Tianchen was discharged from the military, the official announcement was that he had been expelled, which would cause some negative repercussions for him.

This much Cang Lang had explained to Ye Tianchen earlier, and Ye Tianchen didn’t care.

Regarding Ye Tianchen’s file, it had also been classified as a national level-1 confidential document, but some rumors had still leaked out, for there were indeed some people who knew the truth.

“Heh, Glasses, you’re f*****g overestimating that kid, aren’t you?

If he really had such abilities, I’d gladly offer my head for him to sit on,” the short and plump man mocked.

“Impossible, even if this guy became a special forces soldier, he couldn’t possibly have such combat strength to kill all the experts from the Blood Demon Mercenary Group.

Even a Level 1 Instructor from our Falcon Unit would find it difficult to do so.

That guy, at most, is just a deserter!” Luo Lei also said disdainfully.

The door was slowly pushed open.

Ye Tianchen walked into the private room with a cigarette in his mouth, where Luo Lei, the short and plump man, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses were.

He then slowly closed the door, locking it behind him, and comfortably sat down on the sofa; he was smoking while pouring himself a drink.

Faced with the sudden entrance of this man, Luo Lei, the short and plump man, and the man with the gold-rimmed glasses were all taken aback, unsure who this man was and what he meant.

But judging from the series of behaviors as he walked in, he certainly couldn’t be one of their own, could he?

“Who are you?” Luo Lei stood up, clenching his fists tightly as he asked.

“I am that deserter you mentioned…” Ye Tianchen said with a playful smile.

“You…

You’re Ye Tianchen?” the man with the gold-rimmed glasses pushed his glasses up, his expression tinged with surprise.

The short and plump man was not surprised at all.

His family background in Capital City might not be that of a great clan, but still had some influence.

In his view, the already-declined Ye family wouldn’t dare to cause trouble, and he was even more skeptical of Ye Tianchen, the family’s former disgrace, being anything remarkable, so he deliberately approached Ye Tianchen, looking down on him with contempt as he mocked, “How was it, groveling at the Liu family’s door all day?

How did it feel to be rejected by the Qi family?

Or perhaps, selling out your comrades and begging for mercy just to save your wretched life—is that living happily for you?”

Bang, bang, bang!

Luo Lei and the man with gold-rimmed glasses had barely seen Ye Tianchen’s movements, only to witness the short, chubby man get struck by three beer bottles in quick succession.

His head bled profusely as he fell to the ground, screaming like a slaughtered pig, his body trembling and convulsing uncontrollably, showing just how badly he was beaten.

“How does it feel to have a beer bottle smashed on your head?

What about the sensation of having three bottles break consecutively?

Or perhaps, you’re feeling quite happy now?” Ye Tianchen revealed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth as he spoke nonchalantly.

This scene completely stunned Luo Lei and the man with gold-rimmed glasses.

Ye Tianchen, to be precise, had greatly exceeded their expectations.

This guy was way too calm and composed, having beaten the short, chubby man half to death.

They knew the man’s father was the chairman of the Kyoto Propaganda Committee and had quite strong connections.

However, this was no reason for Ye Tianchen not to smash the guy’s head in—his mouth had been too foul, and a blow to the head was a must.

Luo Lei suddenly stood up.

Though he, too, was astonished, in his eyes, Ye Tianchen didn’t amount to much, and the Ye family even less so. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Now his Luo family firmly suppressed the Ye family, and he, Luo Lei, firmly suppressed Ye Tianchen.

That was Luo Lei’s belief.

“I’ll only ask you once, was it you who beat up my brother?” Luo Lei pointed at Ye Tianchen arrogantly with his right index finger as he spoke.

“He couldn’t take a beating; I hope you’re a bit tougher.”

“Ha, you dare come here seeking death.

I admire your courage.

I could crush you with one foot…” Luo Lei said, laughing angrily.

“Why all this nonsense?

Are you two going to come at me together, or do you want a one-on-one fight?” Ye Tianchen removed the cigarette from his mouth and blew out a smoke ring as he asked.

Hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, the man with gold-rimmed glasses notably stepped back two paces.

In terms of martial skills, he certainly wasn’t Luo Lei’s match, and at this moment, he sensed the easygoing domineering aura on Ye Tianchen.

The way three beer bottles had reduced the short, chubby man to a half-dead state, regardless of his identity and the consequences, such a composed demeanor was definitely not something that could be faked.

In that moment, Ye Tianchen seemed like a high and mighty ruler, showing not the slightest regard for Luo Lei.

“Even if I kill you right here, nobody would dare to do anything to me!” Luo Lei said maliciously.

“Then why not make a move?

All talk and no action?

Oh, right, I heard you’re a member of the Falcon Unit.

Let me see your strength.

If you can land a hit on me, I’ll consider the slander you made against me null and void, how about that?” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

“You’re courting death!”

Luo Lei looked at the man with gold-rimmed glasses with contempt.

This guy always hid on the sidelines whenever trouble arose, afraid of sticking his neck out.

And in Luo Lei’s view, Ye Tianchen was just posturing and asking for trouble; he was confident that a single punch could send Ye Tianchen sprawling in search of his teeth.

With a swish of a punch, Luo Lei aimed straight for Ye Tianchen’s face.

Boom!

Unfortunately for Luo Lei, his punch had barely been thrown before Ye Tianchen kicked him away.

Luo Lei crashed heavily onto a glass coffee table, shattering the large glass into pieces.

Luo Lei, who had looked down on Ye Tianchen and acted arrogantly, had barely made a move before he was struck down to the floor, his hands clutching his abdomen as he screamed in agony.

Ye Tianchen had originally come to deal with Luo Lei, who was a notorious troublemaker resorting to underhanded tactics.

Luo Lei had to be taught a lesson.

If someone had openly challenged Ye Tianchen, he might have still admired that person.

During the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen had killed plenty of such despicable people, and even reborn into this life, his principles would not change—he recognized reason, not individuals.

“You…” Blood trickled from the corner of Luo Lei’s mouth as he looked at Ye Tianchen in agony, unable to believe that he, a Falcon Unit member, had been defeated by a single kick from Ye Tianchen.

The man with gold-rimmed glasses almost collapsed in fear.

He couldn’t imagine how Ye Tianchen, once the laughingstock of the Capital City, who had brought great shame to his family, had become so powerful in that moment.

His attack was fast, accurate, and ruthless, leaving Luo Lei scrambling around on the floor for his teeth.

“It seems you’re just as fragile as your brother, unable to take a beating.

Are all members of the Luo family this weak, resorting to sneaky tricks behind the scenes?” Ye Tianchen looked indifferently at Luo Lei and spoke.
