An hour later, the plane reached its destination.
“Welcome, King Ye, to Star City!”
As Ye Longlin stepped off the plane, he saw a middle-aged man standing respectfully in front of a Rolls-Royce, bowing to him with great excitement.
“Isn’t that Chairman Zhang of the Royal Dynasty Chamber of Commerce?”
“My goodness, am I seeing things? Chairman Zhang of the Royal Dynasty Chamber of Commerce is actually bowing to a young man? Who could possibly warrant such a grand gesture?”
“This is extraordinary. Perhaps he’s a significant figure, someone beyond our reach. Let’s leave quickly.”
The man addressed as Chairman Zhang stood before Ye Longlin with utmost deference and introduced himself.
“Your Majesty, I am Zhang Xiao, the chairman of the Royal Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. If you require anything in Star City, please do not hesitate to command me. I will serve you with all my might!”
“Sir, this young man is quite sharp. It will be convenient to have him handle matters in the future.”
Yuan Gang chuckled and exchanged a look with Zhang Xiao.
Clearly, this had been arranged beforehand.
“In the capital, you need not address me by my military rank,” Ye Longlin reminded him, then shot Yuan Gang a stern look. “Alright, get to the real business.”
Yuan Gang’s expression became serious, and he dared not delay. Leaving Zhang Xiao behind, he directly drove the pre-arranged business van.
Just as Ye Longlin got into the van, Lin Tianai and Mu Hanqi emerged from the cabin. Upon seeing the convoy below, they had a thought.
Didn’t the person who just got into the van look a bit like Ye Longlin?
But it was probably impossible. How could a mere private warrant Chairman Zhang’s personal escort to the airport?
Lin Tianai didn’t notice anything unusual, but her best friend Mu Hanqi’s eyes flashed with a glint, her pupils darting around.
“Let’s go, Hanqi. We should head to the hotel first. I’m worried Qin Xiao might have sent people to block me again.”
…
Xiao Tian Group.
“Master Dao, you’re here!”
“Please, have a seat and rest. I’ll contact the chairman and see how soon he’ll arrive.”
At the entrance of the building, a group of shareholders waited for the regular meeting.
The entire reception department staff were dressed in black suits, each with a fierce look on their faces.
The head of the reception department, nicknamed “Fierce Saber,” had two knife scars on his face.
Although he had only recently joined the company, he was someone many shareholders preferred not to cross.
This was because on his first day in charge, Fierce Saber went to the renowned Azure Dragon Martial Arts School in Star City and defeated the master without any ability to retaliate. He single-handedly settled the highest martial force in Star City!
Soon after, the Azure Dragon Martial Arts School became a subsidiary of Xiao Tian Group.
One couldn’t help but wonder where the chairman found him; he was truly formidable!
When a business sedan stopped at the entrance, a group of people crowded around. A burly man with a sinister gaze stepped out of the car.
It was Qin Xiao.
“Chairman Qin, you’ve arrived.”
A shareholder fawned, greeting him. After all, this was someone they could not afford to offend.
Qin Xiao waved his hand.
“Are there any visitors today?”
The shareholder who had just spoken was taken aback. He continued fawning, “Chairman Qin, we don’t receive guests on Mondays. That’s your rule!”
“Inform the Giant Spirit Group that tomorrow is the deadline. If they cannot produce the money, they should handle it as they see fit.”
“Yes, sir!”
Just as he finished speaking, a group of security guards outside suddenly shouted, “Quick, stop him! How dare he trespass into Xiao Tian Group! He’s asking for death!”
Yuan Gang, dressed in a black suit and wearing sunglasses, looked deceptively simple but exuded an aura of a wolf hunting tigers.
“Are you Fierce Saber?”
Yuan Gang asked after getting out of the car, a playful smile on his face.
According to the investigation, the war criminal Fierce Saber had two knife scars on his face and was currently employed by Xiao Tian Group as the head of security.
It was quite ironic that a national fugitive was serving as the head of security in a private enterprise.
Fierce Saber, who was sitting and smoking, heard someone calling him. He glanced back with a sidelong look and then turned back to continue smoking, seemingly unwilling to pay him any attention.
Yuan Gang let out a scoff. He hooked his index finger on the connection between the temple and the lens of his sunglasses and casually tossed them forward. kuAiδugg
However, just as the sunglasses were about to hit Fierce Saber, a cold glint suddenly appeared!
Fierce Saber, seated behind him, flashed forward and slashed down with a blade, cutting the sunglasses cleanly in half.
“Do you dare to act out here, in my domain as Fierce Saber?”
A hint of killing intent appeared in Fierce Saber’s eyes. He looked at the business van, clenched his fist, and raised a hand, making a gesture.
The group of men in black suits behind him immediately understood. They returned to the company and reappeared holding controlled knives. Without a word, they surrounded the entire scene.
Killing intent began to permeate the air.
Yuan Gang, however, became excited. Causing trouble!
Causing trouble was good!
Today, he would let them know who had the bigger fist!
“Yuan Gang, apprehend the suspect.”
A sliver of the business van’s window lowered. King Ye issued his command.
“Yes!”
Yuan Gang grinned menacingly, cracking his neck with a series of audible pops.
Fierce Saber’s eyes narrowed. He sensed a killing intent emanating from Yuan Gang!
Was it directed at him?
“Kill!”
Fierce Saber roared, wielding two steel sabers and charging towards Yuan Gang.
Seeing their minister charge forward, the reception department personnel roared and also quickly approached the vehicle.
Yuan Gang smirked at this sight. “The Dragon Pavilion is apprehending a suspect. Civilians, step aside.”
Upon hearing “Dragon Pavilion,” Fierce Saber’s pupils contracted. His charge faltered, and he immediately turned back. Without hesitation, he took a deep breath and bolted outwards!
With two leaps, he took to the air, attempting to flee this dangerous situation!
The target was definitely him!
Even the Dragon Pavilion was involved!
“Trying to escape?”
Yuan Gang sneered at this, a playful, cat-and-mouse expression in his eyes.
With a single step, immense pressure descended almost instantly, a force he couldn’t resist!
Terror flashed in Fierce Saber’s eyes. His gaze trembled, and his face turned pale in an instant!
He was merely an A-class war criminal. Was it necessary to dispatch such a powerful individual to apprehend him?
“Fierce Saber, escapee from Mobei Prison, number 1294.”
“Two to three days ago, Mobei Prison was attacked and breached by a mysterious force, leading to three thousand war criminals infiltrating various parts of Great Xia. Does Chairman Qin intend to explain his harboring of fugitives?”
Yuan Gang sidestepped, clearing the path ahead, and looked at Qin Xiao with a half-smile.
He then stepped forward, presenting Fierce Saber with a pair of handcuffs.
“You two, causing trouble at my Xiao Tian Group, do you have any regard for me, Qin Xiao?”
Qin Xiao, who had witnessed the entire event from the side, finally spoke.
Yuan Gang, having apprehended the suspect and returning, immediately sneered, “Your Xiao Tian Group’s harboring of fugitives has yet to be settled. And now you’re so eager to jump out and protect this person?”
Qin Xiao suddenly burst into laughter. Someone handed him a cigar, lit it, and he exhaled a puff of smoke with an arrogant demeanor.
“So what? In Star City, I, Qin Xiao, am the heavens. I protect whomever I wish!”
Just then, the vehicle Yuan Gang had just parked suddenly lowered its window halfway.
Through the window, many people saw a young man in military uniform sitting inside.
“You dare to call yourself heavens in my presence?”
Ye Longlin’s voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
He subtly tilted his head, his sharp gaze fixing on Qin Xiao and the others.
His eyes conveyed utter indifference, as if a supreme monarch were looking down upon his subjects.
An immense pressure swept through the area in an instant. Anyone who met his gaze was struck with terror and fear!
Those eyes seemed capable of piercing their very souls.
“Who… who is he?”
Qin Xiao’s pupils widened, his expression panicked. He was so startled that he didn’t even realize the cigar he was holding had fallen from his mouth, and he stammered uncontrollably.
“He is the heavens! King Ye!” Yuan Gang declared with immense pride.
