Chapter 951: Four Mutant Kings!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen was stunned at first, then he said with a forced smile, “I can’t afford to offend him?”
He could even suppress the Kunlun Ruins, so how could he not afford to offend someone from the secular world? Most importantly, he was the master of Tiannan!
Seeing his reaction, Chen Zhong could not help but say, “Brother Ye, not only can you not afford to offend this person, even our Lin City’s defense officer can’t afford to offend him.”
“Oh?” Ye Chen said in surprise, “Does he have a powerful background in Tiannan? Is he the son of some tyc.o.o.n? Or is he the descendant of a high-ranking official?”
“No!”
Chen Zhong said, “This man’s name is Luo Peng. He’s not a big deal, but his brother is one of the Four Mutant Kings of Tiannan, Azure Dragon!”
Mutants!
Ye Chen had learned from Li Zewei that people who awakened their cultivation talent after the spiritual energy recovery were called mutants. Mutants who were powerful were no weaker than ancient martial artists.
He could not help but ask, “Who is Azure Dragon?”
“Brother Ye, to be honest, I really wonder if you’re a local from Lin City or if you’re from a very remote place.”
Chen Zhong gave him a deep look and said patiently, “After the spiritual energy recovery, some people were awakened as mutants. Mutants are divided into nine levels. I’m only a level-3 mutant.”
At this point, he could not help but add, “Tiannan naturally has many mutants. Among them, four are the most powerful. They’re the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise and White Tiger.”
“My brother is right!”
Chen Rongrong interjected, “These four are known as the Four Mutant Kings of Tiannan. They once went to the frontline and killed many powerful beasts!”
“The four of them were groomed by the Star Group with countless resources. They’re known as the four great generals under the Star Group!”
Chen Zhong sighed softly, “Therefore, their status in Tiannan is supreme, second only to the Patriarch of h.e.l.l!”
Just when Ye Chen was about to speak, he saw Chen Rongrong taking a deep breath in and said, “Brother, you forgot about someone!
“In Tiannan, there’s actually another legendary character!”
She clasped her hands together and said with great respect, “He’s known as the master of Tiannan, the most powerful man in China and Southeast Asia!”
“Are you talking about Mad Southern Ye?”
Chen Zhong reacted as well. He said in admiration, “Mad Southern Ye is indeed a legend in China. However, it’s said that he’s been missing for ten months. Some say that he’s dead.”
After they were done talking, they turned around and realized that Ye Chen and the rest were gone.
“Eh, where’s Brother Ye…?”
…
At the core of Lin City, Star Group headquarters, they were no longer the same as before. With the wealth that Ye Chen had acc.u.mulated in the past, they started researching human cultivation after the spiritual energy recovery.
Within a short span of ten months, they had risen to become one of the six largest groups in the country. They even controlled the three Tiannan provinces and looked at the world like a giant.
In order to fight the beast hordes and protect China, Star Group even cooperated with the government to form an alliance army.
Old Master Gu, the Yan Nanfei, Han Qinhu, and other older figures rushed to the frontline to fight the beast horde.
This happened on the ninth floor of Star Group’s headquarters.
“What? The beast horde from the east has arrived?
“Send out Apocalypse No. 1 drone group to bombard the mountain range where the beast horde is. Cooperate with General Yan and the rest to intercept them!
“Pa.s.s down my order to the eastern battlefront. All the mutants under the command of the Star Group are to join the battle. We must kill to avenge our country now. Anyone who dares to retreat will be executed!”
…
At that moment, there were four women sitting together. They were a.n.a.lyzing the situation of the battle on the huge satellite navigation system and sending out orders.
If Ye Chen was there, he would definitely discover that the four women were Ye Wen, Xiao Ya, Tang Ning, Yu Shasha, and the rest.
However, the aura of the four women had changed drastically.
As the main members of Star Group, the four women were no longer as weak as before. There was a hint of agility and aura on them, as if they were otherworldly.
After she was finally done with everything, Ye Wen, who was in the middle, stood up. She walked to the side and pressed a switch on the wall. Instantly, a mourning hall popped up.
The memorial tablets of Ye Ming, Yang Hui, Lin Tai, Niu Qingshan, Chen Tulong, and the rest were placed in the mourning hall.
However, the memorial tablet in the middle had no name.
Ye Wen lit a few sticks of incense and kowtowed to the memorial tablet. She then inserted the incense into the incense burner and scanned through Ye Ming, Yang Hui, and the other memorial tablets.
Her gaze fell on the nameless memorial tablet. She bit her lips and whispered, “Brother, are you really dead?
“If you’re alive, why hasn’t there been any news after ten months?
“I’m so tired…”
As she murmured, tears fell slowly from the corner of Ye Wen’s eyes. This woman had grown from being unruly and willful to being strong and reserved. It was as if she had been reborn.
No one knew what pain she went through after her parents died. No one knew how much effort she put into managing Star Group after Ye Chen was gone.
“Wenwen!”
At this moment, Tang Ning and the other two women walked over as well. They stared at the nameless memorial tablet with complicated expressions for a few seconds.
After that, the three women hugged Ye Wen tightly. Yu Shasha choked and said, “Sister Wenwen, Brother Ye is definitely not dead. You have to believe that.”
“Yes, master will be fine. Let’s hold on a little longer. He will come back one day,” Xiao Ya consoled.
This had happened many times, and it was always the four women who comforted and encouraged each other that led Star Group to where it was today.
“Thank you!”
Ye Wen wiped her tears and forced a smile, “You’re right. My brother is definitely not dead. I have to protect Star Group well for him and sister-in-law!”
At that moment, the alarm in the building suddenly rang, and there were screams.
The four women’s expressions changed, “What happened?”
At the next moment, a guard in Star Group’s uniform stumbled into the room, “D-Director Ye, the Four Mutant Kings of Tiannan have revolted. T-They’ve brought their men in…”
Following his words, the technological door on the ninth floor was forced open with brute force, and a young man in an azure dragon robe slowly walked in.
Behind him were two men and a woman, as well as countless guards wearing Star Group’s uniform and holding guns.
Numerous guns were pointed at Ye Wen and the rest.
The sudden scene shocked Ye Wen and the other three women. They could not help but retreat subconsciously.
Ye Wen stared at the young man in the azure dragon robe with an imposing gaze, “Azure Dragon, what are you trying to do?”
“Director Ye!”
The young man named Azure Dragon smiled, “It’s not easy for the four of you to support Star Group, so I want to share your burden!”
Xiao Ya’s beautiful eyes were cold, “You want to seize power?!”
