Chapter 2145 - 2146: I Hope You Can Stay Calm

At this moment, the King’s face was filled with an expression of ferocity, with traces of malice flickering in his eyes.

The King seemed like a completely different person from his usual calm and composed self; now, he resembled an enraged tiger, looking as if he could devour someone.

The Broken Cliff Residence in front of him was no secret among national protectors, but the people inside were the culmination of his twenty years of effort—twenty full years of effort.

Now, the entirety of his twenty years of effort turned into nothing; one can imagine the depth of the King’s fury, and the intensity of his murderous intent.

The King’s fists slowly clenched, causing his finger joints to emit crisp sounds.

The next moment, the King took a step towards the Broken Cliff Residence, gazing at the devastation around him, it seemed as if a knife had pierced his heart, causing him to weep uncontrollably—a heart still bleeding freshly.

The King’s complexion grew more somber than before, and the murderous intent on him became incredibly intense.

Throughout the Broken Cliff Residence, the King walked alone, observing plenty of skeletons left from the fire but found no people, which was like pouring gasoline into the fire of wrath within him.

Especially after reading the words, "Blood debt, blood payment, Ye Family Eighteen Riders," his eyes were filled with shadows of murderous intent!

"Ye Family, I knew you wouldn’t stay honest!" the King said with a ferocious expression, "You think just because you took Ye Fanchen out, you can turn the world upside down?"

With that, the sinister and cold murderous intent surged out from him, enveloping the surroundings.

In just an instant, the entire area was engulfed in a suffocating aura of slaughter.

The next moment, a sigh escaped the King’s lips, "Ye Fanchen, you’d best hide well, don’t let me find you."

At this time, the King’s heart was filled with murderous thoughts, targeting not only the Ye Family Eighteen Riders but the entire Ye Family.

Though the King wasn’t sure how credible the words on the ground were, he preferred belief over disbelief, meaning he’d rather kill mistakenly than let someone go.

Long Shou’s diversionary tactic was evidently successful, drawing the King’s focus onto the Ye Family; whatever the King will do next, Long Shou doesn’t concern himself with.

Moreover, even if the King wished to act against the Ye Family, what could he possibly do with just a few words?

Clearly impossible, the Ye Family holds significant status, doing anything based on mere words would be entirely impossible.

Nevertheless, the King wouldn’t just let it go, unable to act openly, but behind the scenes?

......

The news of the King’s arrival didn’t escape Long Shou.

Yet, knowing the King’s arrival, Long Shou’s face showed no sign of surprise, as the King’s coming was already predestined.

So, there was no need for astonishment, what mattered most was what the King would do next.

That’s what concerned Long Shou the most.

After all, the protectors in the Broken Cliff Residence were the King’s trusted aides, all murdered, surely the King’s heart was raging, eager to vent his anger on someone with bloodshed!

Hence, Long Shou cared deeply about what the King planned to do and wanted to do.

Though Long Shou kept an eye on the King, he hadn’t forgotten Ye Xunhuan, and now he knew Ye Xunhuan was in the hotel, but he hadn’t directly contacted Ye Xunhuan, opting to wait until nightfall to meet with him.

Of course, Long Shou would have people closely monitor the King’s movements too.

The King is, after all, the leader of national protectors; if he acts, it’s certainly not trivial.

Time flowed swiftly like sand in a palm, and soon night fell.

As night fully cloaked the land, Long Shou made his move to find Ye Xunhuan, as he had told Ye Fanchen before, he needed to give Ye Xunhuan a heads-up, to prepare him psychologically, otherwise, when Ye Fanchen disclosed everything to Ye Xunhuan, he might not be able to handle it!

No matter how strong Ye Xunhuan’s psychological resilience was, Long Shou believed that upon learning everything, Ye Xunhuan might not be able to bear it all.

Long Shou knew the hotel where Ye Xunhuan stayed, so upon arrival, he immediately went to find Ye Xunhuan.

But before heading to the hotel, Long Shou ordered the hotel’s surveillance to be completely hacked.

It was a sensitive time, so caution was prudent.

By hacking the hotel surveillance, even if the King searched the place, he’d find nothing useful.

Arriving at the room where Ye Xunhuan and Olivia stayed, Long Shou hesitated not and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened from within.

The next moment, Olivia’s figure came into Long Shou’s view.

Though Ye Xunhuan had mentioned to Olivia that Long Shou would surely come find him, when Olivia saw Long Shou, she was still surprised and astonished.

After a brief moment of surprise, Olivia regained her composure and said to Long Shou, "Come in!"

Without hesitation, Long Shou entered with Olivia.

Inside the room, Long Shou immediately saw Ye Xunhuan sitting on the sofa.

Ye Xunhuan sat calmly, his face tranquil like the surface of a serene lake.

Anticipating Long Shou’s visit, Ye Xunhuan showed no surprise or astonishment, remaining exceptionally calm.

"Sit, please," Ye Xunhuan softly said.

Long Shou didn’t restrain himself and sat nearby.

Having just seated, Ye Xunhuan asked, "Is Old Chen alright?"

"He’s fine now," Long Shou softly replied, "How are you, health-wise?"

"Nothing much," Ye Xunhuan replied coolly, "I need to see him."

Knowing Ye Xunhuan would wish to see Ye Fanchen, Long Shou wasn’t surprised, nodding calmly, "No problem, but before you see him, I want to talk with you."

"Alright," Ye Xunhuan agreed readily, "What do you want to talk about?"

"You probably already have some answers in your mind?"

"I want to hear it from you."

Long Shou paused briefly and then spoke, "Before I tell you, I hope no matter what you hear, you can remain calm and composed."
