Chapter 25

Chen Hu and his three henchmen were all dead, especially Chen Hu, who was nailed to the wall in the middle of the room with a dagger through his throat, his eyes wide with a look of horror.

Not long after Ye Tianchen had left, two figures scaled the walls and rushed in.

They had been tracking Ye Tianchen and ultimately arrived here.

The two figures slowly made their way to Chen Hu’s room, and when they saw the corpses of the three henchmen and Chen Hu, nailed to the wall and bled dry, they couldn’t help but be startled.

“This kid is ruthless enough, killing everyone,” one of them said, frowning.

“Every one of them a kill with a single strike, quite impressive,” another remarked as he examined the three corpses on the floor, unable to hide his astonishment.

“Could it be that the joke of the entire Capital City has truly had a sudden surge in potential?”

“I’m afraid no one will dare to see him as a failure anymore.

Things have changed; I think this must be reported immediately.”

“Let’s go.

It wouldn’t be good to be discovered!”

At that moment, inside the Luo family’s large residence, Luo Songcheng was so angry he almost vomited blood, furiously smashing the teacup in his hand to pieces.

“Dad, what’s so upsetting that you’re this angry?” Luo Guanghui asked, startled.

“What’s so upsetting?

It’s infuriating, never before has anyone dared to look down on the Luo family like this!” Luo Songcheng yelled.

“Dad, what exactly happened?” Luo Qi, too, was puzzled, having never seen his father this furious before.

Luo Songcheng gave his two sons a stern look, and finally let out a sigh before saying, “Today, I called General Cang Lang to inquire about Ye Tianchen’s records, and he actually told me to follow the proper procedures.

The guy didn’t give me any face at all.

In the end, when I applied to report it to the National Security Bureau, they even told me that Ye Tianchen’s records had been taken by Captain Yan of the Falcon Unit.

Isn’t this disregarding me, Luo Songcheng?”

Hearing Luo Songcheng’s tirade, Luo Guanghui and Luo Qi understood—despite the Luo family not being the top family of Capital City, they had never been looked down upon before.

Moreover, this time their father, being a general, simply wanting to check the records of an ordinary special forces soldier proved so difficult, it was indeed an affront to Luo Songcheng’s pride.

More importantly, even if Ye Tianchen was related to the Ye family, which had long declined and couldn’t compare to the Luo family, was it really so hard to access his records?

“Damn it, neither Cang Lang nor Yan Long dare give the Luo family face—I’ll make sure to kill these two bastards one day,” Luo Guanghui blurted out angrily.

Slap!

A loud slap rang out.

Hearing his eldest son Luo Guanghui’s thoughtless words, Luo Songcheng slapped him across the face hard, leaving Luo Guanghui dazed and slightly aggrieved; why was it always him getting hit?

“Fool, I think Ye Tianchen is the smartest person in Capital City.

You are the biggest prodigal and failure!” Luo Songcheng scolded fiercely.

“Dad, I was only thinking of the family…” Luo Guanghui still felt unjustifiably treated and argued.

“You call this thinking of the family?

I think you want to drive the Luo family to ruin.

Who is Cang Lang?

He’s part of the Military Committee Group, and Yan Long is even the captain of the Falcon Unit.

Do you understand how formidable the Falcon Unit is?

They are directly accountable to the top leader.

You talk about killing Cang Lang and Yan Long, let’s not even talk about taking action—if someone finds out, our Luo family could be in deep trouble,” Luo Songcheng lambasted his eldest son Luo Guanghui.

Luo Guanghui deserved the scolding; he was unbearably foolish.

Luo Songcheng only said those things to vent his frustration and hoped his sons would come up with a way to access Ye Tianchen’s military records.

He had never intended to confront Cang Lang and Yan Long—who dared not act against the Luo family.

Those two were known as two of the top ‘War Kings’ in China, and to take action against them would be courting death.

Little did he expect Luo Guanghui to actually suggest killing Cang Lang and Yan Long—a move akin to seeking death.

“So, what do we do?

Are we just going to let the matter with Leier and Taoer go?”

“Let it go?

The Luo family has never been treated like this.

If we let this slide, how can the Luo family have any standing in Capital City?

The Ye family dares to oppose me; I will retaliate.

Ye Tianchen dared to cripple Leier and Taoer, I will return it tenfold,” Luo Songcheng said, full of fierce determination.

“Dad, you mean to say…” Luo Qi, who had been quiet at the side, finally spoke up.

“That little bastard Ye Tianchen must die; since we can’t touch him in public, let’s send someone,” Luo Songcheng said with a vicious smile.

“I understand, Dad.

I’ll go find Wuxue right away,” Luo Qi nodded and said.

Luo Songcheng nodded, then spoke up, “Be careful with Wuxue.

He’s not someone to be trifled with.

If all else fails, tell him that as long as he helps us kill Ye Tianchen, I’ll find a way to get his adoptive father out of prison…”

“Got it!”

“Also, get in touch with Yan Long.

I still hope to get that document.

I’ve been feeling that Ye Tianchen is becoming more and more complicated!” Luo Songcheng said, frowning.

Wuxue, the king of Capital City’s underworld by night, no one knew what he looked like, yet many had heard of his deeds.

He was a Death God who walked in the shadows, often taking on jobs for powerful families and clans.

It was well-known that once Wuxue took action, there was no one he couldn’t kill.

The reason he was nicknamed “Wuxue” was that his killings were always clean and neat, leaving no trace behind, not even bloodshed.

In the world of both black and white, he was reputed as the number one assassin in Capital City.

This time, Luo Songcheng had no other choice.

With the Military Committee’s upcoming elections, he definitely couldn’t act overtly, as it would surely affect his chances of promotion.

Since he couldn’t take care of matters in the open, he would handle them in the dark.

He believed that with Wuxue taking action, Ye Tianchen would definitely be assassinated, thus settling his score.

At that moment, in the office building of the Falcon Unit, Captain Yan was also looking at Jiang Meng and Fei Yun with a serious expression, his eyes filled with surprise and some disbelief.

Just moments before, Jiang Meng and Fei Yun had reported Chen Hu’s death in the southern district of Capital City to Captain Yan.

Particularly, the detailed description of the death was so vivid that even Captain Yan, revered as one of the three War Kings of Capital City, was impressed.

“Were those four truly killed by Ye Tianchen?” Yan Long asked.

“Yes, only he went in.

All the kills were executed with a single strike; quite impressive.

Especially how Chen Hu was impaled through the throat with a dagger and nailed to the wall, dead.

His right hand was chopped off, and there was a pistol in his left hand, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the chance to fire…” Jiang Meng also said in amazement.

“Captain Yan, should we notify the Ministry of Public Security to arrest Ye Tianchen?” Fei Yun asked thoughtfully.

Jiang Meng and Fei Yun had been tracking Ye Tianchen these past few days, trying to keep tabs on his every move.

Captain Yan’s purpose in sending Jiang Meng and Fei Yun to follow Ye Tianchen was simple: to reclaim some pride for the Falcon Unit.

However, several days of surveillance had led to this major incident.

“No need.

I’ve just received classified information listing Ye Tianchen as a top national secret.

Take a look for yourselves,” said Captain Yan as he passed a classified document to Jiang Meng and Fei Yun.

As Jiang Meng and Fei Yun looked over the document handed to them by Captain Yan, nothing seemed unusual at first glance.

But when they saw the section for Combat Level, both were stunned, for it bore two powerful characters, “Unknown.”

“This…

no way, Combat Level unknown?

That’s…” Jiang Meng was too astonished to finish his sentence.

“General Cang Lang personally annotated this.

It seems there are astounding secrets surrounding the incident where Ye Tianchen and the other six special forces soldiers were ambushed,” Fei Yun said with furrowed brows.

Yan Long nodded, knowing all too well who Cang Lang was.

As one of the top three War Kings like himself, whether it was status or strength, no one dared to underestimate him.

In recent years, both he and Cang Lang rarely showed their true capabilities, and few knew of their actual might.

But as individuals who had risen through those times, they had some understanding of each other’s strengths.

To have Cang Lang mark the Combat Level as “Unknown” suggested that Ye Tianchen might indeed be the first of his kind.

“Could it be true, as the rumors suggest, that Ye Tianchen single-handedly killed all the bandits, even taking down the elite of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, and carried Han Jie back to the troop by himself?” Fei Yun asked, stunned.

“That’s too formidable, isn’t it?” Jiang Meng said in disbelief.

“Alright, regardless, we must thoroughly investigate Ye Tianchen.

And remember, if you get the chance, make your move and teach Ye Tianchen a lesson; let him know the might of our Falcon Unit.

I refuse to believe his combat power is that strong,” Captain Yan said sternly.

Indeed, if the rumors were true, Ye Tianchen’s combat prowess was astonishing.

He certainly had the strength to challenge giants like Cang Lang and Yan Long.

In all these years, such a formidable figure had never emerged, so Yan Long still felt Ye Tianchen’s abilities warranted further investigation.

Jiang Meng and Fei Yun left to carry out their orders, while Captain Yan furrowed his brows, lighting a cigarette and inhaling deeply.

He was becoming increasingly unable to figure out Ye Tianchen.

Eventually, a smile crept onto his lips as he mused to himself:

“Ye Tianchen, is it all of Capital City laughing at you, or are you laughing at everyone in Capital City behind their backs?

Things are getting more and more interesting!”
