Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 119: Chapter 117: Yang Jing with the Heavenly Eye

Wushan Shelter.

Inside the hospital’s critical care unit.

A well-featured young lady lies in bed, completely still, with various medical equipment attached to her.

The IV beside her is delivering nourishing liquid into her body.

Next to the hospital bed, a young man in a suit and tie sits looking at the girl with eyes full of heartache.

”You’ll get better!”

”You definitely will get better!”

Just at that moment.

”Beep beep.”

”Beep beep beep!”

The phone inside the intensive care unit rings, the young man picks up the phone, and the voice of the Ghost Leader from the Deceitful King Faction comes through.

”Little Yang, come out for a moment.”

After hanging up the phone, the young man helps straighten the blanket covering his sister lying in bed. He softly says: ”Sis, you’re saved, saved!”

”I heard that the Zhang Family still has one Blood Pill, and I’ve already beseeched the chairman. As long as the Zhang Family is willing to give the Blood Pill to your brother, he can save you!”

At this moment, it could be clearly seen that there was an eye tattooed on the young man’s forehead.

A tattooed eye on the forehead, this is even more intense than the shrimp line on General Yu!

This eye was different from most members of the Deceitful King Faction, his Heavenly Eye tattoo was not sewn on but naturally his own.

The young man named Yang Jing is now the driver and part-time bodyguard for the Ghost Leader of the Deceitful King Faction. The girl lying on the hospital bed is his sister.

When he was born, he had a birthmark in the middle of his forehead, to avoid scaring others, Yang Jing chose to tattoo a Heavenly Eye on his forehead to cover it up.

During the supernatural invasion, he was working a night shift as a security guard, and when he got home, his sister was already unconscious.

Later, during his search for medical help, he was noticed by the Ghost Leader of the Deceitful King Faction and promoted to be a driver and part-time bodyguard.

The Ghost Leader had a discerning eye and saw Yang Jing’s talent; in terms of fighting ability, this driver was the top fighter in the Deceitful King Faction.

Moreover, the Ghost Leader could see clearly, the siblings had deep emotional bonds, as long as he held Yang Jing’s sister, Yang Jing would have to work for him.

Soon, Yang Jing left the intensive care unit and came to the hospital’s meeting room.

This hospital was originally a property of the Ma Family; the Ghost Leader was already in the meeting room.

Upon seeing the short-statured, skinny, somewhat alien-looking middle-aged man, Yang Jing hurriedly asked: ”Chairman Ma, about that Blood Pill from the Zhang Family?”

The Ghost Leader’s identity was covert; his public identity was the chairman of the Ma Group and also the chairman of the Lin’an City Chamber of Commerce.

Thus, Yang Jing addressed him as Chairman Ma.

Actually, Yang Jing did not know about the existence of the Deceitful King Faction.

His mind was entirely focused on his sister’s condition, and he always thought the Deceitful King Faction was simply the chamber of commerce organization.

Yang Jing hesitated to speak, after all, his status was merely that of a small security guard.

Even with the chairman’s help in negotiations, they might not be willing to give him the Blood Pill!

Yang Jing was anxious because modern medical means could only keep his sister alive.

But to wake her up, they had to try these extraordinary items that appeared after the supernatural invasion.

Currently, the Zhang Family’s Blood Pill was the only hope to save his sister.

The Ghost Leader looked at Yang Jing and slowly said: ”Originally, the Zhang Family truly had three Blood Pills, I used to ask for one and Zhang Yuandong might have given me face.”

”However, things are different now! The Zhang Family has encountered some incidents recently, the Life Pattern Masters they’ve trained were mostly killed by others. Even the third son Zhao Peng was castrated by cruel means.”

”Two of the Zhang Family’s three Blood Pills were used by Zhao Peng, now there’s only one left!”

”As the saying goes ’scarcity begets value’, this sole remaining Blood Pill is a lifesaving item. When I asked Zhang Yuandong for it, he refused me!”

As the Ghost Leader’s words concluded, Yang Jing’s heart sank, his eyes nearly reddened.

The only hope fell through again.

Such a precious item, it’s a favor if the Zhang Family gave it, not giving it is their right!

Yang Jing clenched his fists tight before relaxing them and asked the Ghost Leader: ”Chairman Ma, do you know where the Zhang Family acquired the Blood Pill?”

”I want to try my luck too.”

The Ghost Leader waved his hand, then patted Yang Jing’s shoulder, saying: ”Little Yang, you’re oversimplifying matters!”

”Since the supernatural invasion, the evil spirits, deceitful charms we’ve seen have been bizarre. Yet, the Blood Pill has only come from the Zhang Family.”

”If this item were that easy to obtain, would it be your turn?”

”This...”

”This, this... .” Hearing this, Yang Jing was at a loss for words, his throat choked with unspoken thoughts.

However, just when Yang Jing was downcast with his head lowered, the Ghost Leader took out a brocade box and handed it over.

”Open it and see!”

Upon seeing the brocade box, Yang Jing seemed to realize something, a burning hope ignited within him.

After opening the box, indeed, there lay the Blood Pill he had longed for.

However, this Blood Pill was only a half-piece.

”Blood Pill?”

”Half a piece?” Yang Jing exclaimed in surprise, then immediately asked: ”Chairman, didn’t you say the Zhang Family’s head refused you?”

The previous moment, the Ghost Leader had said that Zhang Yuandong had refused him.

In the next second, he pulled out half a Blood Pill.

This made Yang Jing’s heart feel like it was on a roller coaster, such highs and lows.

I have to say, the Ghost Leader understands professional PUA techniques.

”Such a precious thing, there’s no way it’s for free!”

”Even with my connections, Zhang Yuandong definitely wouldn’t give it away for nothing!” Speaking of this, the Ghost Leader said slowly, ”Zhang Yuandong’s third son was castrated, and the Zhang Family has been utterly humiliated.”

”The condition Zhang Yuandong offered is for you to kill the person who castrated his son. This half is an upfront payment for you; the other half you’ll get by bringing back the person’s head!”

Yang Jing frowned deeply, hesitating for a moment.

Before the Deceitful Scourge invasion, he was just a security guard! After the invasion, he worked as a bodyguard and driver.

He’d killed many Evil Spirits, but he’d never killed a person.

Making him kill someone challenged his morals.

”If you’re unwilling, I’ll reject Zhang Yuandong.” As he spoke, the Ghost Leader made a move to take back the Blood Pill.

Looking at the Blood Pill, Yang Jing gritted his teeth, seemingly making a decision.

He grabbed the Ghost Leader’s wrist, saying, ”President, I agree!”

”Who does the Zhang Family want dead?”

Even though the Deceitful Scourge invasion had long passed, there was still a trace of goodness in Yang Jing’s heart.

Once, not killing his kind was his bottom line.

But for his sister’s sake, he couldn’t afford to care about that anymore.

Seeing Yang Jing agree, a glint flashed in the Ghost Leader’s eyes, and a subtle smile crept onto his lips.

Although Yang Jing was strong, he was still at his mercy.

”Once the specific plan is finalized, the Zhang Family will send someone to inform you!”

”I’ll hold onto this half of the Blood Pill for you; once you bring back the enemy’s head, you can have the other half to save your sister!” the Ghost Leader told Yang Jing.

He didn’t give Yang Jing the half Blood Pill directly, intentionally.

Although Yang Jing was strong, whether he could kill Lin Yuan was still uncertain.

The Ghost Leader had already decided: if Yang Jing killed Lin Yuan, he’d give Yang Jing the Blood Pill.

If Lin Yuan killed Yang Jing instead, then this half Blood Pill would be his.

Of course, Yang Jing wasn’t thinking that far ahead; his only thought was that no matter what, he had to obtain that Blood Pill.

...

...

Peng City.

Official Shelter.

In the underground bunker, inside Yang Dingguo’s office.

After killing Xu Fuchao, Lin Yuan had returned to Peng City.

”Old Yang, I’ve solved the problem for you!”

”By the way, you’ve been taking advantage of me without giving me anything in return!” Lin Yuan joked.

Yang Dingguo, who’s dealing with official business, suddenly looked up and said, ”While you were away, I’ve moved the laboratory, alloy production line, and research team to your place.”

”When you go back, you’ll see it.”

”If one day something happens to me, all this will be yours!”

Asking for a reward was purely a joke from Lin Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Yang Dingguo took his joke seriously.

”Wait a minute!”

”Old Yang, you’re serious!”

”I’ve already dealt with Xu Fuchao; there’s no need to move these things to my place! In the future, if they send someone, I’ll kill one at a time.”

”Rest assured, as long as I’m here, no one can replace you!” Lin Yuan said quickly.

Yang Dingguo put down what he was doing, looking at Lin Yuan intently, and said in a deep voice, ”You don’t understand the financial oligarchs; they won’t let it go.”

”One plan fails, and they’ll soon come up with another one.”

”Since they have their eyes on Peng City, they’ll try whatever it takes to seize it.”

”We are out in the open, and they are in the dark; it’s impossible to guard against!”

”I just hope that if one day Peng City falls into the hands of the financial oligarchs, your Wushan Shelter will become a sanctuary.”

Although Xu Fuchao’s been dealt with, it only temporarily solves the financial oligarchs’ troubles.

Thinking of Peng City’s future, Yang Dingguo was still deeply worried.

At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly thought about the three tough years before his time travel.

Initially, the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter was entirely under Yang Dingguo’s control, and during that time, the survivors there lived relatively well.

But later, when the shelter split into the official side, military, and Life Pattern Master factions, the survivors started to suffer exploitation.

Two and a half years into the Deceitful Scourge invasion, Yang Dingguo died.

After Yang Dingguo’s death, the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter turned into chaos, and that period was the hardest time for Lin Yuan in his previous life.

Now thinking carefully, the split of the Five Dragon Mountain Shelter from impregnable to fragmented probably had the financial oligarchs’ influence too.
