Chapter 85:

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The leader of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, Meijier, shot the head of a woman who had just served him without even furrowing his brow, as casually as stepping on an ant. He was cold, merciless, and downright inhumane.

Clap, clap! Meijier applauded twice, and two burly henchmen came in from outside, carrying away the corpse of the blonde woman Meijier had killed, leaving only Meijier and Sambaque in the room.

Even though Sambaque had been by Meijier’s side for nearly ten years and was the deputy leader of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, he had killed countless people and usually didn’t care much about it. But Meijier’s ruthlessness, shooting people dead over trivial displeasures, truly made Sambaque fear for his life. He worried that one wrong word might lead to Meijier shooting him dead, which would be a terribly wrongful death.

"What’s the matter?" Meijier poured a glass of red wine and took a big sip before asking.

"Oh, I just received news that Lock Bear’s ambush failed. We lost nearly thirty elites, and someone broke Lock Bear’s neck..." Sambaque came back to his senses and reported in a low voice.

"What?"

Meijier, hearing Sambaque’s words, suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes filled with anger and a murderous intent. He could scarcely believe his ears. His subordinate Lock Bear was killed?

"Impossible, Lock Bear took nearly a hundred elite members this time. They were supposed to launch a probing ambush, but I had already ordered him to kill all the Easterners who came this time if possible." Meijier slammed his fist on the computer in front of him, smashing a brand new LCD screen into a big hole.

"Boss, it’s true, according to the accounts of those who escaped, the Easterners sent several top experts this time, especially a young man under twenty years old with great skills, who killed Lock Bear in one move..." Sambaque spoke with disbelief in his voice.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that all the escapees said the same thing, Sambaque wouldn’t have believed it. Lock Bear’s skills were definitely not inferior to his, and with nearly a hundred elite members accompanying him, it should have been enough to face a military squad, yet it was just a few people from the East who managed to kill Lock Bear and beat the heavily armed elite members back. It was unimaginable.

"A man under twenty? How is that possible? When did the East produce such a formidable person? Unless it was one of China’s three War Kings." Meijier frowned and calmed his furious heart slightly as he spoke.

Hearing Meijier’s words, Sambaque was also puzzled. He couldn’t imagine how a nearly twenty-year-old man could be so powerful to kill Lock Bear in an instant. He shared the same thought as Meijier, assuming it must be one of China’s three War Kings, as he could think of no one else so formidable.

But according to his subordinates’ reports, they had all seen Ye Tianchen, and the description of the man who killed Lock Bear didn’t match any of the three War Kings from China, because both Cang Lang and Yan Long were over thirty years old, and their aura was definitely not that of a twenty-year-old. The only possibility was that it was the extremely mysterious War King, about whom even people within China knew very little, let alone internationally.

"Boss, no matter what, we failed the ambush this time and suffered heavy losses. We must take quick measures, otherwise the government of M country will pressure us..." Sambaque expressed his concerns.

Meijier glanced at Sambaque. As the leader of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, he had always been ruthlessly in control of everything. Initially, the M country government had secretly hired them, and Meijier had set conditions that, once he took out the Easterners coming to exchange information, M country would acknowledge the legal status of his Mercenary Group, allowing him, as the group leader, to live openly under the light without hiding anymore.

The M country government had also made it clear that if Meijier failed this mercenary mission, the Blood Demon Mercenary Group would be expelled from M country and face crackdowns. Thus, Meijier valued this mission highly. He sent his deputy leader Lock Bear with nearly a hundred elite members, hoping to kill all the Easterners in one fell swoop. Yet, to his shock, the situation had turned out so unexpectedly.

"Lock Bear that fool, he deserved to die. It seems that among the people the East sent this time, there are some really skilled masters. But that doesn’t matter, the people Meijier wants dead cannot be saved by anyone. Go immediately and call together the ’Ten Killers’ for an important operation tonight..." Meijier paused before speaking.

"Boss, are we really going to mobilize the power of the Ten Killers? If the M country government takes action against us, we might lose our only means of self-protection."

Sambaque hadn’t expected Meijier to summon the members of the Ten Killers. Within the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, there existed a powerful organization of ten people, each a top elite and the core strength of the group. Normally, these ten people were spread among the members of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group, not known to ordinary people. Only Meijier, Sambaque, and Lock Bear knew how to assemble these ten members of the Ten Killers.

The Ten Killers were the strongest force of the Blood Demon Mercenary Group and hadn’t been deployed for about five years. This time, to fulfill the hiring mission and gain recognition of their legal status by the government of M country, Meijier was ready to play his last card.

"Go, I’ll wait here for your good news. If you fail again, don’t bother coming back alive," Meijier said coldly.

"Yes!" Sambaque was stunned for a moment, then left the room. Meijier remained alone, his face sinister as he stared out the window. Fighting experts from China was not a new experience for him; however, the Blood Demon Mercenary Group had never before suffered such severe losses. It wasn’t just about completing the mission for Meijier, he couldn’t swallow his pride.

At this moment, inside the grand mansion of the Liu family, Ye Tianchen was alone in the living room of the main villa. He was leisurely enjoying himself with a chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right, and a glass of red wine in the middle, legs crossed comfortably as he ate and drank.

Suddenly, Ye Tianchen frowned. He sensed a murderous aura approaching. Just as he wondered who it could be, the door to the hall opened and he saw Liu Yu looking at him coldly, walking in with a serious face.

"Oh, it’s Captain Liu. What brings you here?" guessed Ye Tianchen about Liu Yu’s reason for coming, pretending to be unaware.

Liu Yu glanced at Ye Tianchen and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He sat down next to him and said, "Young man, you have some skills, but don’t be too arrogant. Not knowing how to respect your elders will get you taught a lesson."

"If Captain Liu has something to say, just say it. I’m ready to go to sleep," Ye Tianchen yawned and said.

"Don’t you think you’re being too arrogant? I call the shots in this Liu family estate. If you don’t follow orders, don’t blame me for being rude," Liu Yu slammed his hand on the table and stared intensely at Ye Tianchen.

Hearing Liu Yu’s words, Ye Tianchen, who had originally not wanted to make a fuss, also got irritated. It was clear Liu Yu was picking a fight, disliking him and looking for an excuse to make trouble.

"Captain Liu sure puts on quite an air. If you want to be rude, I’d like to see just how rude you can be," said Ye Tianchen indifferently. That was his nature—if you showed him respect, he would return it tenfold; if you threw a punch, he was only left with the option to beat you into a pulp.

"Good, good, good, those were your own words. I don’t want to bully someone younger. How about we exchange a few moves?" Liu Yu said with a cold laugh, thinking that Ye Tianchen had taken the bait, eagerly awaiting this very reaction.

Liu Yu needed a reason to make a move against Ye Tianchen, otherwise, it could be seen as bullying the young and using his seniority to take advantage. Speaking of reputation, Liu Yu was famous decades before Ye Tianchen had been, back when the Slaughter Mercenary Group was preparing to go international, and as the leader of Slaughter Mercenary Group, his reputation was well known.

"Exchange a few moves? I think better not, it wouldn’t look good if someone said I was beating up an elderly man later!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

"If you’re scared of losing, scared of getting beaten up, then forget it. But however I arrange things afterward, that’s how you’ll do them. Don’t fucking be ungrateful," Liu Yu thought Ye Tianchen was scared and dared not spar with him, and mocked him immediately.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Liu Yu. He knew Liu Yu was skilled; in ambush situations, Liu Yu’s shooting often resulted in headshots. Ye Tianchen had seen it himself. Being only a step away from becoming China’s fourth War King, his strength was definitely not weak. Ye Tianchen didn’t initially want to fight Liu Yu, as his mind was on the Superpower Special Agent Team from M country, ready to go all out and expose a top expert from the M country team and battle him. But now that Liu Yu had come to coerce him, he had no choice but to fight, as he had never been one to back down.

"Let’s go then. Since you’re asking for a beating, and you seem to enjoy it, I’ll certainly oblige. Just to be clear, I’ll only give you two black eyes before we stop. I’m too sleepy and don’t have time to play with you," Ye Tianchen yawned again and casually said to Liu Yu.
