Chapter 1177 Dong Tianwang
"Command your mother! If you were any later, those nine women would have died in there. If anything happens, can you bear all the responsibility?"
Chen Xuan was utterly disgusted by Lin Yu, his imposing aura undiminished, his anger palpable.
Lin Yu hadn't expected Chen Xuan to dare to curse him, let alone with such overwhelming presence. He was momentarily speechless, his face flushing red.
He took a deep breath and, in exasperation, said, "If anything happens, I'm willing to bear the responsibility. But if you act without authorization and anger those nine dragons, what then? What if those nine women die because of you?"
"Get out of my way!"
Seeing Lin Yu blocking his path, Chen Xuan cursed.
"You bastard!"
Lin Yu roared, "Let me tell you, this matter has been handed over to a major figure for supervision. If you dare to disrupt that major figure's actions, that major figure will tear you to pieces!"
"Get lost!"
Chen Xuan, unwilling to waste any more words, shoved Lin Yu aside and prepared to enter the dilapidated building.
But just then, an engine roared to life, and a camouflaged Hummer screeched to a halt.
Chen Xuan and Xie Wei frowned, staring intently at the camouflaged Hummer.
Xie Wei, a car enthusiast, was captivated by the Hummer's imposing presence. Chen Xuan, however, was drawn to its license plate.
The first character on the license plate wasn't a provincial abbreviation but a dragon emblem. He had seen such license plates many times before, as all vehicles belonging to the Dragon Soul team bore this mark.
Could it be that the "major figure" was from the Dragon Soul team?
Chen Xuan frowned, finding the possibility quite likely. After all, these nine dragons were dangerous fugitives who had escaped from the Dragon Sealing Well. The Dragon Soul team had the responsibility and obligation to recapture them, and it was likely only they could succeed.
While Chen Xuan was still lost in thought, Officer Yan and Lin Yu were already hurrying to the Hummer to greet it with utmost deference.
The Hummer's door opened, and a young man in the special uniform of the Dragon Soul team, with the Dragon Soul emblem on his shoulder, alighted.
He wore a black leather jacket, his hair impeccably styled, and he sported a pair of sunglasses, exuding a cool and stylish aura, much like an elite agent from a Hollywood blockbuster.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could sense a pervasive scent of blood and a strong aura of killing intent emanating from the young man.
"Welcome to Jiangnan Province, friends from the Dragon Soul team!"
Officer Yan grasped the young man's hand, speaking with a smile.
Lin Yu and the others also wore welcoming smiles.
But the young man frowned, withdrew his hand from Officer Yan's grip, and raised his hand in a salute. "Hello, my name is Dong Ming!"
Everyone froze at the Dragon Soul warrior's action, their expressions turning awkward.
Officer Yan couldn't help but feel embarrassed as he retracted his hand and returned the salute. However, they dared not show anger, as they needed this person to capture the nine dragons. They could only clear their throats to break the tension.
"Holy crap, why is this kid here?"
Chen Xuan stared at the young man for a long moment before finally confirming his identity.
The person who had arrived was none other than his former subordinate, Dong Ming!
Back then, after passing through the training camp, Dong Ming had been assigned to his team. At the time, Chen Xuan had considered him just a rookie. He hadn't expected Dong Ming to be sent alone to handle such an important matter as apprehending the nine dragons. Had the kid progressed so rapidly?
As he was pondering this, Xie Wei exclaimed beside him, "Wow, I didn't expect even the Dragon Soul team's Dong Tianwang to be here! Those nine dragons are definitely finished this time!"
"Dong Tianwang?" Chen Xuan's eyebrows shot up, half-doubting if he had heard correctly.
"Mr. Chen, you're not part of the system, so you might not be aware of the title Dong Tianwang."
"This person who has arrived, despite his young age, is incredibly strong. He once single-handedly infiltrated the Sahara Desert and captured a tribal chief!"
"In the tropical rainforests of Africa, he brought back the leader of a drug trafficking ring to Xia Kingdom all by himself!"
"Furthermore, when a financial magnate fled to the Great Rift Valley in Yun Country, he also apprehended the magnate alone, recovering tens of billions in losses for the nation and its people!"
"With one meritorious deed after another, he earned the title of Dong Tianwang! It's said that he holds great prestige within the Dragon Soul team!"
Xie Wei spoke volubly, looking at Dong Ming with the admiration one reserves for a celebrity idol.
Chen Xuan felt a sense of relief after hearing this.
He hadn't expected this kid to become so formidable in just a few years! It seemed his stringent demands on the kid back then were not in vain.
"Mr. Chen, since Dong Tianwang is here, should we still go in?" Xie Wei hesitated.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait for now."
"Dong Tianwang, you must be tired from your journey. Perhaps you'd like to have a cup of tea?" Lin Yu said, fawning over him.
"No, the situation is critical. Let's act immediately!"
Dong Ming said expressionlessly and strode forward, with the others following closely.
At this moment, Dong Ming suddenly spotted Chen Xuan and Xie Wei heading towards the abandoned building. He didn't recognize Chen Xuan at first and asked, "What are they trying to do?"
"This..." Officer Yan didn't know how to explain, fearing that a poor explanation might incur Dong Ming's displeasure.
However, Lin Yu's eyes glinted with malice, and he sneered, "Dong Tianwang, we told them that you were going to take action, but they not only refused to listen, but they also insisted on rushing into the abandoned building. I believe they are trying to sabotage your plan!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Ming's expression darkened.
The escape of these nine dragons had caused quite a stir. If this operation were to be disrupted, recapturing the nine dragons would become infinitely more difficult!
Seeing Dong Ming's expression change, Officer Yan quickly said, "Dong Tianwang, please don't be angry. My subordinates are ignorant. I will deal with them immediately!"
With that, Officer Yan glared at Xie Wei and Chen Xuan, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and greet Dong Tianwang and admit your mistake!"
Xie Wei immediately caved and turned to apologize, but Chen Xuan grabbed him. Xie Wei, surprised, was about to speak when he heard Chen Xuan's lazy voice, "Oh, who is it, showing such great authority!"
Chen Xuan sneered, his voice laced with a hint of mockery.
In an instant, Xie Wei nearly wet himself, his eyes wide with shock. "Brother, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
Officer Yan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, while Lin Yu was initially stunned, then broke into a gloating smile. This kid actually dared to be so arrogant. He was truly courting death.
Mr. Dong Ming blinked, then a curious expression appeared on his face.
This... this voice... how is it so familiar?
He couldn't help but feel excited but managed to restrain himself, quickening his pace, wanting to confirm if the owner of this voice was indeed that person.
It's over, it's really over!
Officer Yan thought Dong Tianwang was about to unleash his fury and let out a wail.
Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle but managed to hold back.
He stepped forward to Chen Xuan, with an air of seeking reward, "You good-for-nothing dog, how dare you mock Dong Tianwang? I think you're looking for death!"
