769: Chapter 769: [First Encounter with the Gambling King] 769: Chapter 769: [First Encounter with the Gambling King] Captain Jack became excited once again, very interested in Ye Chenfeng’s encounters.
Knowing the guy’s curiosity, Ye Chenfeng briefly described what had happened in Tokyo.
Captain Jack was extremely thrilled, “God, it’s so thrilling, I regret not having been with you.
By the way, where are Phoenix and the others?”
“If nothing unexpected happened, they should have returned to the Divine Land by now,” Ye Chenfeng said.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen those guys, I actually miss them a bit!” A small smile emerged on the corner of Captain Jack’s mouth.
Ye Chenfeng looked at Captain Jack and said, “I was about to use some methods to find your whereabouts, but I didn’t expect to run into you here.
It really is God helping me!”
Captain Jack stopped being coquettish and got serious, “Rebuilding the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army?
Great, I’ve been waiting for this day, I want to take revenge!”
“Get ready for your return!” Ye Chenfeng said.
“Does the Divine King know it was those bastards who made a move at that time?” Captain Jack curiously asked.
Ye Chenfeng suddenly lowered his voice, speaking gravely, “Phoenix is handling this matter, and there is said to be a Dragon Slaying Plan, which includes a list of the involved forces and their operational deployments!”
“Hehe, our vengeance plan also needs to start now.”
…
On the other side, Chu Qingxue received a call from Qingliu Yiye.
Instantly, Chu Qingxue’s breathing quickened, “Is there any news?”
“Miss Qingxue, everything has been cleared up,” Qingliu Yiye said.
“There has indeed been a big incident in Tokyo these past few days.
Members of the Yamaguchi-gumi deployed a lot of people, sweeping the streets to capture one person.
By the way, this person’s name is Ye Chenfeng, a Divine Land native.
What’s your relationship with Miss Qingxue?”
Chu Qingxue became even more anxious, blatantly ignoring Qingliu Yiye’s question, “Tell me, how is Ye Chenfeng now?”
“Oh, this Ye Chenfeng, it is said that in the end, he was cornered at sea, with four helicopters and a large fleet of ships trying to eliminate him.
His whereabouts are currently unknown,” Qingliu Yiye answered indifferently.
“Ah?” That statement sent Chu Qingxue into a cold sweat, her face turning extremely pale in an instant.
“However, I’ve got inside information that he ultimately escaped from Tokyo, but where he went, nobody knows,” Qingliu Yiye added.
“Phew!”
This time, a large stone in Chu Qingxue’s heart fell, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.
“Miss Qingxue, you seem so anxious, is there something wrong?” the person on the other end asked with confusion.
Chu Qingxue flashed a smile, “It’s nothing, thank you for your help.
If you ever go to Japan, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Half a day later, the Ghost Ship arrived in Macau.
Ye Chenfeng disembarked in Macau, Captain Jack did not follow, as he had to settle the pirates on the Ghost Ship, but Ye Chenfeng left him an address.
Ye Chenfeng changed into another set of clothes, had a hearty meal, booked a flight ticket, and hastily made his way to the airport.
However, upon reaching the waiting area, Ye Chenfeng immediately sensed an exceedingly solemn atmosphere.
Soon, a group of men in suits arrived, standing in two rows, as if waiting for someone.
Then a young man with a distinguished air about him arrived, accompanied by a young female secretary.
Ximen Leiting!
Ye Chenfeng did not expect to run into him at the airport.
Seeing the arrangement, it seemed Ximen Leiting was there to receive an important person.
Could it be his father, the Gambling King Ximen Qian?
Ye Chenfeng was puzzled but did not go up to greet him; he needed to return to Jiangnan now.
Hm?
Ye Chenfeng spotted several people in the waiting area.
Despite their good disguises, he instantly recognized that they were different from the others.
Lip-reading!
Ye Chenfeng made another significant discovery, these four individuals were scattered, but they were actually communicating through lip-reading.
From their lip movements, Ye Chenfeng deciphered that their target was to kill Ximen Qian.
The people Ximen Leiting brought were scanning the surroundings, estimating the need to neutralize some potential threats.
As time ticked away, the flight from Las Vegas, United States, finally arrived.
Suddenly, Ximen Leiting and his men tensed up.
Ye Chenfeng glanced over and saw, at the exit passage, two haughty figures striding over, protected by several tall men.
One of them wore a white Tang suit and had a string of Buddha beads around his neck, while also twirling two Luminous Pearls in his hand.
Although his hair was graying, his tiger-like eyes shone with an intense light.
The man beside him was also an elderly figure, a foreigner with a face full of graying stubble and sparsely-thin hair.
However, his eyes were incredibly sharp, clearly not someone to mess with – undoubtedly a dominant force in the gambling world!
Upon seeing them, Ximen Leiting hurriedly went to greet them.
At that moment, another flight was about to board, and the waiting hall started to grow chaotic.
The assassin Ye Chenfeng was watching also slowly rose to his feet, holding a newspaper in his left hand and a suitcase in his right.
“Tchh!”
A few meters after he walked out, the suitcase suddenly slipped from his hand and slid out, heading straight towards the direction of the Gambling King and his companion.
“Hey…”
The guy yelled as he chased after it, his movement technique was very clever, easily bypassing the interception of Ximen Leiting’s men.
The suitcase slid just in front of the Gambling King and his companion.
Then the man arrived in front of the Gambling King, his left hand’s newspaper fell, and he suddenly brandished a handgun.
Without any hesitation, he shot at the Gambling King – the abruptness of the action caught people off guard.
Ye Chenfeng didn’t interfere as it was none of his business.
In the nick of time, the Gambling King made his move.
The Luminous Pearls he held flew out, striking the hand of the assassin just before he could pull the trigger, sending the handgun flying.
The assassin was a skilled killer with incredibly fast speed, but the Gambling King was even faster.
“Bang!”
At the same time, the Gambling King’s cloth shoe struck the assassin’s chest.
Instantly, a searing pain surged to his chest, followed by the sound of cracking bones – his sternum shattered.
Coughing up a spray of blood, he flew backward.
Guo Feng once said that what he and his master, the Gambling King Ximen Qian, learned was not the Cheating Technique, but something else.
Now, Ye Chenfeng understood what that something was.
“Kill!”
The remaining three men took advantage of the chaos to make their move, but the Gambling King’s men, already on alert, intercepted them.
They were almost neutralized before they could even react.
“Whoosh!”
However, at that moment, a figure quietly appeared in a corner on the second floor of the waiting hall, holding what appeared to be a remote control in his hand.
“Boom!”
The man seemed to press a button, and the suitcase in front of the Gambling King sprung open.
What shocked everyone was that the suitcase contained a bomb.
In an instant, many people realized what was happening and also spotted the assassin on the second floor.
