Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 297 Ye Tianchen left the Zhang family’s courtyard and strolled on the streets of the small town, thinking a lot and having many things that he must do.

Actually, taking Zhang Ruotong as an example, since Ye Tianchen was reborn on Earth and opened his eyes, the women he encountered were all quite good to him, whether it was Han Jie, Qi Ruxue, or Su Feifei. There weren’t really any issues with Liu Rumei; the things that happened between them in the past were just due to being framed by others. Whether or not he could let go of it was another matter.

Humans aren’t heartless like grass or trees. The kindness and love these women showed him were not lost on Ye Tianchen; it was just that he had many things to do, things he must do. It was his mission, and one might even say his destiny. Returning to the apocalypse to avenge his deceased friends was something he had to do as a man, else he’d find no peace in death; seeking the secrets of Eternal Life and visiting Emperor Star was also what Ye Tianchen, as a strong man, needed to accomplish, especially since he wanted to find the skill of Eternal Life to extend the lives of his parents and sister. Family was not easy to come by, and so he cherished it deeply, willing to strive with all his might.

"Handsome, need a ride?" A domineering and impressive motorcycle stopped next to Ye Tianchen, driven by a blonde bombshell—a typical foreign beauty upon first glance.

"Oh? Has my charm become so irresistible without me noticing? Even a foreign beauty like you can’t help but be drawn over?" Ye Tianchen glanced at the blonde beauty and joked with a smile.

This blonde beauty, appearing in this rundown town, was in itself rather odd, let alone her extraordinary beauty which even surpassed those of top foreign supermodels. By initiating the conversation, Ye Tianchen naturally didn’t think it was all due to his charm.

"Hehe, such a handsome guy appearing here is quite notable too!" the blonde beauty smartly recognized Ye Tianchen’s perplexity and responded with a sweet smile.

"You speak Chinese so well; you wouldn’t happen to be mixed, would you?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"You noticed that too? Quite observant! So, dare to take a ride?" the blonde beauty asked with a laugh.

"If a gorgeous woman like you isn’t afraid of taking a loss, why would I be?" Ye Tianchen laughed and sat on the motorcycle.

The blonde beauty turned around, gave Ye Tianchen a sweet smile, and said nothing more as she drove off.

This blonde beauty was none other than Alice. Alice was the head of a special U.S. intelligence agency, sent under Hei Bama’s orders to China to investigate and kill Ye Tianchen, in order to erase the humiliation he brought upon Hei Bama, which could even be considered a national embarrassment for the entire U.S.

Ye Tianchen did not know that this blonde beauty, called Alice, coincidentally giving him a ride, was indeed the U.S. intelligence group’s chief, who came specifically to kill him.

Alice had been tracking Ye Tianchen all along, secretly following him from Sichuan Province since he was injured until he recovered, unseen by anyone, even Ye Tianchen himself. It must be said that this U.S. intelligence agency head was very capable and impressive.

For Alice, it was now clear that the man sitting on her motorcycle was the very person who caused an uproar in Washington, acted unrestrained, and made Hei Bama smash dozens of glasses in anger, becoming a joke known almost by the entire U.S. elite, especially those not siding with Hei Bama. How could Hei Bama not be furious and not want to kill someone?

Of course, as the head of the U.S. intelligence group and having attained this position in her twenties, Alice was no simpleton. She was neither reckless nor impulsive. She always remembered Thomas’s words that Ye Tianchen’s capabilities were unfathomable and should never be underestimated based on his age. Even Alice, despite being the head of the U.S. intelligence group, and having both beauty and brains, with outstanding skills, could hardly kill Ye Tianchen by her own strength alone.

Therefore, Alice chose to get close to Ye Tianchen. Only by getting close to him, making him completely off his guard, can she carry out her mission to kill him more smoothly and efficiently.

"Beauty, which mix are you from?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"My mom is Chinese, my dad is American, but I grew up in China. So aside from my appearance, my language and life habits are very Chinese!" Alice answered with a laugh.

Here, it’s important to mention that many foreign invaders harbor an undying intent to undermine China, especially Japan and the U.S. Many of their spies and assassins grow up learning Chinese culture, including language and lifestyle, and even understand the culture better than the Chinese themselves. If it weren’t for the issue of appearance, absolutely no one would suspect they aren’t Chinese.

"Oh, is that so? Do you have any idea where you’re headed, beautiful?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile, nodding his head.

"I like to travel around and write novels, a freelancer with nowhere in particular to go. Would you be interested in inviting me over to your place to hang out?" Alice said with a smile.

"If the beauty doesn’t mind, I’d be more than happy!" Ye Tianchen replied with a smile.

Alice and Ye Tianchen’s encounter didn’t raise any suspicions for Ye Tianchen; he just thought she was an open and beautiful woman with a cheerful personality, a blonde bombshell.

Meanwhile, at the large villa purchased by Wuxue, members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings were each training. With no tasks at hand and waiting for their elder brother Ye Tianchen to return, it had already been eight or nine days. Everyone was worried and very anxious, not knowing what to do. There had been an instance of one of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings causing trouble, although it was suppressed by Wuxue and Wang Jie. But, they all understood that continuing this way was futile since everyone had their own things they wanted and needed to do.

At this moment, Wuxue and Wang Jie gathered all the members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings. They all stood neatly on the space by the large swimming pool of the villa, with Wuxue and Wang Jie standing in front of everyone, looking very serious and authoritative. Ye Tianchen’s choice of Wuxue and Wang Jie to jointly manage the Thirteen Heavenly Kings was sensible; both were extremely skilled and loyal, and would hold the fort no matter what happened until he returned.

"I know everyone is very anxious and worried about our elder brother these past few days. I can tell you all that elder brother is fine, he has recuperated. He just went to do something and will be back soon to lead us!" Wuxue spoke earnestly.

"Yes, just this morning elder brother called me. He praised us for successfully eliminating the Xuanyuan and Ouyang families. There will be an improvement in everyone’s personal treatment. The journey of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings is still long, and the glory has just begun!" Wang Jie also loudly added.

"Bullshit! You’re just fooling ghosts here. Elder brother is seriously injured, his life and death unknown, and you two are here tricking us. Do you really think we’re fools?"

"Exactly. We thought we were following a strong leader with a promising future. Who knew this guy was just a short-lived ghost who died after just two battles. It’s so disappointing!"

Two men started making a ruckus. It was just the two of them quarreling—the twins. Their individual strength might not compare to Wuxue and Wang Jie’s, but their combined attack as twins was terrifying. With their telepathic connection and their practiced Ancient Martial Arts combined skills, they were difficult to defend against and handle.

"Zhang Lei, Zhang Da, are you two trying to rebel, or do you want to quit? If you want out, then get lost!" Wang Jie said sternly and harshly.

The twins named Zhang Lei and Zhang Da started causing trouble the second day. At that time, it wasn’t serious as they probably weren’t sure whether Ye Tianchen could return, and because Wuxue and Wang Jie were formidable, they promptly suppressed them.

But in the following days, even Wuxue and Wang Jie started to struggle with suppression because once someone stirred trouble in the team, it would affect the morale of others. The Thirteen Heavenly Kings was a newly formed group, so to say that everyone was united or deeply loyal to Ye Tianchen was impossible. Thus, when problems arose, all these unstable elements became exposed and apparent.

Led by the twins, Zhang Lei and Zhang Da, it indirectly also affected others. Everyone started doubting, believing Ye Tianchen was dead, never to return. The dissolution of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, and losing the unity of hearts, was more terrifying than anything else.

"Hmph, Wang Jie, you really think you’re the boss of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings? Didn’t you also look down on Ye Tianchen at the beginning? What now? Happy to be a dog after being defeated? You’re really disgraceful!" Zhang Lei scoffed at Wang Jie.

"You... say that again?" Wang Jie glared fiercely at Zhang Lei.

"What if I do say it again? Do you think you can take us all down? Don’t show off your Vice King attitude here. We don’t buy that, and we’re not going to be swayed by your tricks. Ye Tianchen is dead and isn’t coming back. We’re also ready to quit. Of course, we can’t just leave without compensation. Give each of us five million and we’ll call it even, each going our own way," Zhang Da coldly said to Wang Jie.

"Damn it, you two are asking for trouble. I’ll loosen your bones!" Wang Jie, known for his quick temper, was provoked by Zhang Lei and Zhang Da’s taunting and could barely hold back his anger anymore. He clenched his fists, preparing to rush over and teach these unfaithful guys a lesson. (To be continued.
