Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 442: Chapter 441 [Not Interested]

The Ling family was in trouble, and Ye Tianchen truly couldn’t just stand by. Not to mention his relationship with Yuxun, but primarily, people from the Northern Blade Sect had come to kill in the Capital City, mainly targeting him, Ye Tianchen, and involving others for which Ye Tianchen felt responsible to resolve.

Although Ye Tianchen knew that Yuxun’s father, Ling Yue, looked down on him, naturally, he didn’t need Ling Yue’s respect, nor did he particularly respect Ling Yue. He had nothing to do with Ling Yue and didn’t want to get involved with the affairs of the Ling family. However, hearing that Yuxun was also injured made Ye Tianchen want to go see her with Hei Mian.

This girl, who he had grown up with as childhood friends, to meet again was fate. Moreover, Yuxun had been a great help with Xiao Ya’s situation. Even if it was just to repay a favor, to honor their childhood bond, Ye Tianchen felt obliged to look after Yuxun. Of course, that was only for Yuxun, as for her father Ling Yue and the like, Ye Tianchen really didn’t want to get involved at all; it was unrelated to him.

People are not heartless like grass and trees, although Ye Tianchen was a person with a ”Death God” personality, he was also very loyal and valued righteousness. This time, following Hei Mian, his main aim was to check on Yuxun, his friend from childhood, that purest kinship, something that everyone could not forget.

After Ye Tianchen entered the villa, he quietly glanced at Xiao Ya, who was sound asleep, then he walked out. Hei Mian had been waiting outside riding a military motorcycle. Ye Tianchen went to his garage, took out his own motorcycle, and seeing this made Hei Mian somewhat gloomily say,

”You really are rich, even your motorcycle is better than mine!”

”You’re using the nation’s money, I’m using my own money, you earn more than me!” Ye Tianchen said as he mounted his motorcycle.

”I am contributing to the country’s affairs, are you?” Hei Mian said irritably.

”Lead the way, I’m in a hurry!”

After Hei Mian started the motorcycle and led the way, Ye Tianchen too started his motorcycle, which he liked quite a lot. Given a choice between a sports car and a motorcycle, Ye Tianchen would choose the motorcycle without hesitation, as it gave him a sense of freedom and suaveness.

Looking back at the villa once more, a beam of light surged through Ye Tianchen’s body, and then he rode off on his motorcycle. Both Hei Mian and Ye Tianchen, full of competitive spirit, each accelerated to the max right after a big battle. They raced each other, totally disregarding traffic lights, which were now essentially ineffective for the two of them.

”There’s a big intersection ahead, whoever gets there first wins!”

Hei Mian looked at Ye Tianchen challengingly and said this, still upset about losing to Ye Tianchen in a previous fight.

”No problem!” Ye Tianchen nodded in agreement.

Boom, boom!

Both motorcycles sped off at their maximum speed. Hei Mian was the first to reach, his lips curling into a smug smile, feeling a bit of his equilibrium restored. But when he turned around, he realized Ye Tianchen hadn’t followed him, instead heading towards a different intersection, which puzzled Hei Mian, who then shouted,

”Hey, this way, you’ve taken the wrong turn!”

”I know, just wait here for me; I’ll be back in half an hour!” Ye Tianchen said before speeding away.

Hei Mian was extremely frustrated, his previously smug smile vanishing as his face, as dark as ever, now showed his neat teeth snapping shut. It turned out Ye Tianchen had agreed to the race already with a plan in mind, to detour at this intersection to handle some other business. No wonder Hei Mian had been doubtful, given the performance of the two motorcycles, it was clear that Ye Tianchen’s was superior; how could it not outrun his own? Was it running out of fuel? Now it appeared not to be a fuel issue, but a premeditated action.

At the intersection, Hei Mian waited a full hour for Ye Tianchen, nearly finishing a whole pack of cigarettes, before Ye Tianchen finally returned on his motorcycle, infuriating Hei Mian who went up to him and demanded,

”What the hell did you go off to do? Weren’t you supposed to be back in half an hour?”

”Yeah, half an hour to go, half an hour to come back!” Ye Tianchen earnestly replied as he looked at Hei Mian.

”You... What on earth did you go and do?” Hei Mian couldn’t help but roar his question.

”I did something I had to do. Let’s go. I think you’ve been looking for me for a long time and haven’t gone back yet. Won’t the Chief Elder punish you?” Ye Tianchen asked earnestly.

Hei Mian gave Ye Tianchen a speechless glance, said nothing, and directly mounted his motorcycle. After starting it, he drove away, slowly thinking to himself that he must not associate with Ye Tianchen anymore; otherwise, sooner or later, this guy would get him killed.

About an hour later, Ye Tianchen and Hei Mian both arrived at the location of a tall building at the fastest speed without any delay. This was not the first time Ye Tianchen had been to this place; it was precisely the office building of the Chief Elder. In fact, many outsiders believed that the place where the Chief worked was well known, but that was not accurate. You see, the activities and location of a country’s highest leader cannot possibly be controlled or known by the public; otherwise, that would be disastrous.

Of course, Ye Tianchen understood that the guards inside this building constituted the tightest security in all of Huaxia. Even a Late Martial Venerate Peak Expert might not be able to approach this building, whether they were Ancient Martial experts, Superpower Users, or even the most modernized advanced weapons. All these constantly protected the building, making any trouble or rampage inside impossible.

This reminded Ye Tianchen of the White House in Country M, where he had almost met Hei Bama once. It wasn’t that the security of the White House in Country M was weak, but rather that it was an incredibly arrogant country, already considering itself the world’s number one nation and not expecting anyone to dare storm the White House. This scenario had never occurred in their history or in world history.

Thus, Ye Tianchen had taken the opportunity. Even so, Thomas’s appearance had made things difficult for Ye Tianchen. Country M had been able to dominate the world exactly because it had formidable overall strength and mobilization capabilities.

After getting out of the car, Ye Tianchen and Hei Mian directly entered the building and, after several layers of checks, finally entered the Chief Elder’s office. It was already three o’clock in the morning, and the Chief had not yet gone to bed. This man, who was over sixty years old, was still deeply concerned about his country and its people, which truly moved and impressed Ye Tianchen.

”Chief, I have brought Ye Tianchen with me!” Hei Mian said respectfully with a salute.

”Elder, long time no see. I really missed you!” Ye Tianchen said with a chuckle.

The Chief, who was still reviewing documents, looked up at Ye Tianchen and smiled as he said, ”Sit down. What gains did you have from your visit to the Ancient Martial Sect?”

”I’ve taken care of the things concerning Dongfang Meng. There might be some major movements in the Ancient Martial Sect soon, perhaps a storm of blood and carnage, but that’s none of my business now!” Ye Tianchen said nonchalantly.

”I’ve already received news about that matter. Bei Lengshi of the Songshan Sect is a significant figure, ruthless and cruel. Over the years, he’s caused a lot of trouble in his quest to dominate the Ancient Martial World. Aren’t you interested in attempting to become the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?” the Chief asked with a smile.

”Not interested, it doesn’t concern me. Honestly, elder, I just want to do my own thing, so perhaps in the future...”

Before Ye Tianchen could finish, the Chief interrupted him, apparently knowing what he was about to say and not wanting him to continue. The Chief then said,

”About the matter with the Ling family, Hei Mian must have told you. There are no other tasks; it’s just to inform you. Whether you come or not is up to you; whether you help or not is also up to you!”

Ye Tianchen was stunned, not expecting the Chief Elder to say such a thing. He immediately felt depressed, thinking to himself that the old are indeed cunning. Knowing his relationship with Ling Yuxun, even if he ignored every other member of the Ling family, he couldn’t disregard Ling Yuxun. The way the Chief put it made it seem like it was up to Ye Tianchen’s own decision, but in reality, he had targeted Ye Tianchen’s weak spot; this really made Ye Tianchen admire him.

”Elder, I just want to ask where the people from the Bei Chen One-Blade School are now?” Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and asked.

”Since you killed Sato, they are coming for you. That these people could enter the country so swiftly and even reach Capital City, there must have been some inside help. As for who helped them, we have not yet received any news,” the Chief spoke.

”No way, even you, elder, haven’t received any news?” Ye Tianchen was surprised. He hadn’t expected that not even the Chief, the old man himself, had any information, which was absolutely unbelievable. To think that such a big country would have no news about it, that was truly something serious.

”If everything were within our control, then the country wouldn’t have so many problems. Us old bones wouldn’t have to work so hard. Honestly, who doesn’t want to enjoy their later years in peace? We’re not Immortal; wouldn’t it be nice to have a few peaceful years?” the Chief said with a smile, shaking his head.

This, indeed, was the truth. To many people, the Chief might seem high in power and unwilling to let go of his authority, but that wasn’t really the case. Those who reached their level had already held great power, and they no longer pursued fame or fortune. If not for the responsibility, for the country and its people, in the absence of a successor, even if they were advanced in age, they would still have to persevere, otherwise, it would lead to rivers of blood and countless suffering, ultimately falling on the common people.
