Chapter 486 - Who is Whose Cannon Fodder
The story starts in Chapter 486 of "The Strongest Dandy in the City": The morning sun streamed through the glass windows, spilling into Ning Yutingâs room.On the double... Donât miss it!
The morning sun streamed through the glass windows, spilling into Ning Yutingâs room.
On the double bed, Ning Yuting curled up in Ye Chenfengâs embrace like a lazy little kitten.
Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes, a tender smile spreading across his lips as he gazed at Ning Yuting, who hadnât woken yet.
He gently kissed her fair forehead, causing Ning Yutingâs eyelids to quiver slightly before she slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw Ye Chenfengâs distinct face, a blush slowly crept up her cheeks.
âYu Ting, your performance yesterday really shocked me,â Ye Chenfeng teased.
Seeing the smile on Ye Chenfengâs face, Ning Yuting wished she could vanish into a crack in the ground.
She opened her mouth and gently bit his shoulder, pouting as she said, âChenfeng, no need to tease me.
Letâs hurry up and get out of bed!
Otherwise, Master Wu and the others will definitely laugh at us.â
âYu Ting, donât even mention that old man Wu Guotian to me.
If he hadnât set you up to come to Country M, I wouldnât have had to travel all this way to get here.
Just thinking about that old man gets me irritated,â Ye Chenfeng grumbled discontentedly.
âAlright, Chenfeng, Master Wu was also thinking of Huaxia Countryâs safety.
Letâs not blame him anymore.
Letâs get up and have breakfast,â Ning Yuting consoled him.
After that, the two stopped teasing each other.
Ye Chenfeng and Ning Yuting got dressed and went to the hotelâs breakfast area, where Wu Guotian, Wang Li, and the other members of the Soldier King Group were already sitting.
After picking some food at random, Ye Chenfeng and Ning Yuting took their seats across from Wu Guotian and Wang Li.
Wu Guotian glanced at Ning Yuting, whose cheeks were still flushed, and asked Ye Chenfeng with a meaningful look, âChenfeng, how did you find the hotel last night?
Did you sleep well?â
Hearing Wu Guotianâs words, Ning Yuting kept her head down, focusing on her breakfast as her heartbeat quickened.
Ye Chenfeng, for his part, gave Wu Guotian a disdainful look and retorted, âOld man Wu, are you jealous? The source of thÉŞs content is É´o(v)elFÉŞre.É´et
Youâre not young anymore, I know youâre envious of me.â
Wu Guotian had just made a casual inquiry, not expecting such a blunt counter from Ye Chenfeng.
His face turned red, and sitting beside him, Wang Li struggled to suppress a laugh, his face contorting with the effort.
This was the first time he had heard someone speak to the commander of the Soldier King Group with such abandon.
âChenfeng, Iâm still older than you, arenât I?
Even if you donât call me âGrandpa Wu,â you neednât keep bringing up âold man Wu.â And donât underestimate the capabilities of the elderly.
Who knows, I might be more competent than you young folks,â Wu Guotian said.
Even though he was advanced in years, he did not want to admit that he was lacking in certain abilities.
At Wu Guotianâs words, Ning Yuting was the first to choke on her food, completely forgetting to maintain a ladylike image; Wang Li was the second, caught off guard by the commanderâs sense of humor.
Both Ning Yuting and Wang Li tried to hold back their laughter but failed, clutching their stomachs in mirth.
Ye Chenfengâs reaction wasnât as exaggerated; he simply said, âAre you shameless or what, old man?
Forget it, I wonât stoop to your level.
Now that Country M has confirmed sites of the Devouring Empire, whatâs your plan?â
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng had brought up serious matters, Wu Guotian straightened up and replied, âI certainly donât want to cooperate with those bastards from Country M.
If needs be, we can investigate on our own.
My aim is simply to understand the Devouring Empire better, so that we can deal with their emergence in our Huaxia in the future.â
âWu old man, do you have any idea how powerful the Devouring Empire is?
You think your Soldier King Group can go and investigate the Devouring Empire alone?
Thatâs simply a suicidal act.â
Ye Chenfeng did not wait for Wu Guotian to speak and continued, âThe Devouring Empire possesses not only serums that can enhance human strength by dozens of times but they also control various high-tech devices.
For example, they have a light that can put people into some kind of hallucinatory state.
Everything you experience in that illusion feels incredibly real, and if you die in the illusion, even when you wake up, you will definitely become an idiot.â
âMoreover, I believe the Devouring Empire has many more high-tech devices under their control.
Do you think you and your Soldier King Group can handle the Devouring Empire on your own now?â
Wu Guotianâs pupils suddenly contracted.
After hearing Ye Chenfengâs words, he was utterly shocked and asked, âChenfeng, are these things youâre saying true?
Where did you get this information from?â
âDo I need to get information from elsewhere?
This is my personal experience, so this time if we want to understand the Devouring Empire, weâll even need the strength of many countries including Country M!
Even if it means letting them serve as cannon fodder, itâs still good.â Ye Chenfeng laughed wickedly.
âOld Wu, I am certain that after showing my special abilities yesterday, today the elite personnel from various countries will come to apologize to us proactively and ask us to rejoin this mission.
They definitely also intend to use us as cannon fodder, but in the end, who ends up being used as cannon fodder is not necessarily set in stone!â Ye Chenfengâs thoughts were very meticulous, and he had immediately guessed the decision made by Country M and several other countries.
âYe Chenfeng, are you so sure that today the elite personnel from the various countries will come to apologize to us?
If they come, you really would be prescient,â said Wang Li with a hint of doubt.
âThen letâs just wait and see,â Ye Chenfeng said with a slight smile.
âChenfeng, what youâre saying makes sense.
Alright, if they really do come to apologize today, then we will turn the tables and use them instead, letting them be our cannon fodder,â Wu Guotian increasingly felt that Ye Chenfeng was unfathomable.
Indeed, while Ye Chenfeng and his group were in the middle of breakfast, led by Abert from Country M, elite personnel from various countries entered the hotelâs dining room and formally apologized to Ye Chenfeng and Wu Guotian.
They also very sincerely invited the Soldier King Group to rejoin this mission, at least they appeared to be very sincere on the surface.
After a series of persuasions from Abert and the others, Wu Guotian finally agreed to join, and Abert and his companions left the hotelâs dining room very pleased.
Upon exiting the hotelâs main entrance, Abert said, âSee?
I told you, if we lower our stance, Wu Guotian and his group wonât have any reason to refuse.â
At the same place in the hotelâs dining room, Wang Li, impressed, gave Ye Chenfeng a thumbs-up and said, âYe Chenfeng, youâre really something else.
With you here, the people from the other countries are bound to be cannon fodder.â
Wu Guotian also nodded in agreement and said, âChenfeng, what do we need to do next?â Now even Wu Guotian seemed to unconsciously view Ye Chenfeng as the leader.
Ye Chenfeng said offhandedly, âWe canât wait for Country M to find out the real information about the gathering place of the Devouring Empire.
Today, I plan to go out and see if I can find some useful clues.â
âAlright, I will join you,â said Wang Li without any hesitation.
