437: Chapter 432: Jack the Ripper 437: Chapter 432: Jack the Ripper “What should I do?”
Wang Bingbing said in a daze; Ye Tian could tell that Bingbing was completely at a loss at this moment.
Ye Tian pulled Wang Bingbing into his arms, realizing that even the esteemed Ice Snow Queen was still a girl, and every girl would one day need the protection of a man.
With her relatives dead and being hunted by her own family, Wang Bingbing was at a low point in her life and was desperate for someone to help her!
For Wang Bingbing, there were things she could never say when sober; only after drinking could she truly express her feelings…
“Ye Tian, help me…”
Once embraced by Ye Tian, Wang Bingbing felt as if she had found a support, and she spoke softly.
Ye Tian patted Wang Bingbing’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, little maid; your master will certainly make them pay!”
“I’m not a little maid!”
Wang Bingbing said, pouting unhappily, her behavior coquettish and inviting.
Ye Tian laughed again and said, “Alright, alright; you’re not a little maid, you’re a big maid!”
“That’s more like it…”
Wang Bingbing’s waist shook, and she muttered to herself, completely confused in her drunken state.
Because Wang Bingbing had been drinking, Ye Tian did not leave the bar, hoping that Wang Bingbing would sober up soon.
Yet, unaware of how much she had drunk, Wang Bingbing continued to sleep in a daze, making it impossible for Ye Tian to leave the bar.
Another two hours passed, and Wang Bingbing finally woke up!
“Ye Tian, I…”
Wang Bingbing looked at Ye Tian with surprise, not knowing what happened while she had been drunk.
“It’s nothing; you were just sleeping!”
Ye Tian smiled, choosing not to elaborate on the shocking things Wang Bingbing had said while drunk.
Wang Bingbing’s cheeks turned slightly red; she was well aware that she had said some embarrassing things, and thankfully, Ye Tian wasn’t going to mention them, thus nor would she!
“If you have nowhere else to go, stay at my hotel!”
Ye Tian invited Wang Bingbing, as she was now homeless after the family upheaval, and thus, she had no choice but to follow Ye Tian’s instructions and temporarily stay at his hotel.
The two of them left the bar; it was already evening, and the hotel was not far from the bar, within walking distance.
“Stop right there!”
As they took a secluded alley, Ye Tian and Wang Bingbing were suddenly stopped by a man.
The blocker, clad in a jacket and sporting an old-fashioned slick back hairdo, exuded an aura of menace from which Ye Tian could clearly discern his identity.
“Humph, Wang Bingbing, where can you run to this time?”
The blocker spoke coldly, leaving Wang Bingbing too stunned to speak upon seeing him.
“Jack, Jack…”
Seeing her terrified upon recognizing him emboldened the man named Jack even more.
“Knowing it’s me, shouldn’t you just accept your fate?
If I’m in a good mood, I might let you keep your body whole!”
Jack said coldly, prompting Ye Tian to quietly ask Wang Bingbing.
“Who is this Jack?”
“He is an assassin from the Wang Family, nicknamed ‘Jack the Ripper,’ very strong.
The family often sends him to eliminate their enemies, and he has never failed!”
Wang Bingbing revealed Jack’s identity, and her body couldn’t stop trembling.
Although Ye Tian was also formidable, Wang Bingbing was unsure who was stronger—him or Jack.
“Jack the Ripper?
Interesting!
Why do you people always find inspiration for names in ancient British culture?”
Ye Tian said disparagingly, not regarding Jack’s infamous title as a threat.
“Who are you?
If you don’t want to die, move aside!
This is a Wang Family internal affair!”
Jack barked furiously; Wang Bingbing was destined to die today, but an ignorant person was now standing in his way.
“Wang Family internal affair?
Wang Bingbing is my little maid; thus, I too can involve myself in your Wang Family affairs!”
Ye Tian retorted boldly, choking Jack with his response.
“Bastard, do you know what the Wang Family is?
It’s ranked among the most powerful families in the world.
Who are you to dare meddle in Wang Family matters!
And remember, the name ‘Jack the Ripper’ is not for show—no one dares to be so bold before me!”
Jack spat viciously, then pulled out a small knife from his coat; Ye Tian’s keen eyes immediately recognized its sharpness.
“Recognize this knife?
It has claimed the lives of four hundred eighty-seven people.
I used it to slice open each of their bellies—that’s why I’m called the Ripper!”
At this moment, Jack seemed invincible; Wang Bingbing instinctively stepped back, hiding behind Ye Tian.
Only Ye Tian remained calm as Jack brandished his weapon; in Ye Tian’s eyes, there was no fear, only a hint of disdain.
Jack, a reputed assassin, was infuriated at being so scorned by someone.
“Bastard, how dare you look at me with those eyes!”
Speaking, Jack stepped forward, holding a sharp dagger, aiming it at Ye Tian.
In front of Ye Tian, Jack flashed a “three” hand signal!
“Three seconds, I only need three seconds to kill you!”
After making his murderous declaration, Jack thrust the dagger at Ye Tian, targeting his most vulnerable spot—his throat.
“Ye Tian, be careful!”
The movement was incredibly fast, too fast for Wang Bingbing to follow, causing her to scream out.
Jack the Ripper was a famously skilled assassin of the Wang Family.
Since Wang Bingbing had lived in China for a long time, she was clueless about Jack’s killing methods.
Seeing them today shocked her immensely.
However, facing the lightning-fast strike, Ye Tian appeared very calm, with a smile forming on his lips.
Ye Tian slightly shifted his feet, and the sharp dagger merely grazed the front of his throat, missing by mere millimeters…
After dodging the deadly strike, Ye Tian quickly reached forward.
Before Jack could realize what was happening, the dagger was already in Ye Tian’s hand.
Ye Tian lightly flicked the dagger, and like an arrow released from a bow, it flew towards Jack’s throat!
“Swoosh!”
The dagger struck precisely at the vital spot in Jack’s throat, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief.
His ferocious strike not only failed to harm Ye Tian but also led to his own demise under Ye Tian’s counterattack, as the confident assassin died by his own renowned dagger.
“Three seconds have passed!”
Indeed, three seconds had passed, but the person who fell was not Ye Tian, but Jack, who had vowed to kill Ye Tian.
The dagger was exceedingly sharp, fatally piercing upon contact, leaving the assassin Jack lying straight on the ground.
He died by his own dagger, his eyes wide open until the end, unable to accept the reality that unfolded before him.
Ye Tian was more terrifying than anyone else Jack had ever encountered.
In Ye Tian’s presence, Jack the Ripper’s name was merely child’s play…
Wang Bingbing stared in astonishment at the fallen Jack, an assassin ranked among the top in the Wang Family, yet so effortlessly defeated by Ye Tian!
With the body right there, both Ye Tian and Wang Bingbing had no time to deal with it.
Fortunately, the dim evening light meant that it was yet undiscovered…
Ye Tian took Wang Bingbing back to the Four Seasons Hotel where he was staying.
At that moment, Wang Bingbing, still not fully sober, fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.
With Wang Bingbing occupying his bed, Ye Tian had no choice but to sleep on the sofa.
The core taken from the millennium ancient tree, although not fully sculpted into a weapon, was beginning to take shape, and Ye Tian was not worried.
Ye Tian sat on the sofa and continued to harness his Qi.
His strength had somewhat recovered.
The energy he had expended in the battle with the Rakshasa Queen was almost fully restored.
He only needed to fully regain his strength and finish his weapon before he could contend with the Rakshasa Queen.
Until then, Ye Tian had to remain cautious.
After practicing his meditation on the sofa, Ye Tian closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep…
“Ah!”
He had slept until morning when suddenly he heard Wang Bingbing scream from the bed!
Ye Tian was awakened by the scream, thinking an enemy had arrived, but it turned out that Wang Bingbing had just had a nightmare…
“Bingbing, what’s wrong?”
Ye Tian immediately went to Wang Bingbing’s side, but unexpectedly, she grabbed him in a hug.
“Ye Tian, I’m scared!”
The once Ice Snow Queen now seemed like a small woman who could only find peace in a man’s embrace.
It was no wonder, having suffered a dramatic change in her family and being pursued, it was more than anyone could bear!
“Don’t be afraid!
Isn’t that what I’m here for?”
Ye Tian held Wang Bingbing tightly in his arms, and like a little bird, she was very quiet.
Though Wang Bingbing’s body did not move, Ye Tian could clearly hear her heartbeat.
“Thump!” “Thump!”…
It was evident that Wang Bingbing was very nervous, and it took a long while for her feelings to calm down.
Ye Tian could only keep holding Wang Bingbing, providing her with enough security…
“Don’t be afraid, your great-uncle, who killed your grandfather—such people have been many throughout history, and none have had a good end!”
Ye Tian kept comforting her, and his words greatly encouraged Wang Bingbing.
Her heartbeat gradually stabilized, and her body, which had been trembling, returned to normal.
It was then that Wang Bingbing realized she was lying in the arms of another man, Ye Tian!
“…”
The situation was very awkward, and Wang Bingbing had not expected to be so disheveled at that moment.
Her cheeks blushed, and she dared not look at Ye Tian’s face; she could only adjust constantly to make herself less embarrassed.
Finally, Wang Bingbing’s breathing became much more regular, and she lifted her head.
