Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 643: 642 Chapter ”The Storm is Coming!

[PS: Looking for tips, Alliance Hierarchs, and explosions of joy, haha!]

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Bao Tianglong, Li San, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, Hu Long, Zhang Tian, and Zhang Di, seven people, all stood in the courtyard. They hadn’t slept all night, remaining on guard within the yard to ensure the absolute safety of Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun, the grandfather and granddaughter duo.

When Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun came out in very formal attire, Bao Tianglong and Li San went to greet them. Bao Tianglong smiled and said, ”Old Master Ling, Miss Ling, are you preparing to go out? We will escort you!”

”Yes, thank you!” Ling Shuanghe nodded and said.

”Brother Bao, Tianchen, he...” Ling Yuxun looked around, and not noticing Ye Tianchen, couldn’t help but express her concern.

”Miss Ling, we’ve got everything under control, you don’t need to worry!” Bao Tianglong said with a smile.

”Okay!” Ling Yuxun nodded her head, her face still showing some worry.

This time, knowing that Ye Tianchen had brought the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, including Bao Tianglong, to New York City to rescue her and her grandfather, Ling Yuxun was truly touched. She had always loved Ye Tianchen and didn’t want to cause him trouble. She hadn’t expected that Ye Tianchen would come at all costs, which proved that he still cared for her. This made Ling Yuxun happier than anything else could. Even if they couldn’t return to China safely now, even if they were to die, Ling Yuxun felt she would have no regrets!

On the other side, within the villa where Ling Yuyang from the Ling family estate lived, Ling Yuyang had also gotten up early. Ye Tianchen continued to play the role of Ah Pi, waiting outside the villa for Ling Yuyang. When he saw Ling Yuyang in a neat suit, looking spirited and walking out, Ye Tianchen went up to him with a smile and said, ”Young Master, you look especially good today!”

”Naturally. After today, the entire Ling family will be under my control, and the entire Ling Group will be mine. How could I not be happy?” Ling Yuyang said, laughing with extreme pride.

”Young Master... oh no, I should say Chairman, can we set off now?” Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

”Has that old Immortal Ling Shuanghe arrived yet? I want to ride in the same car as him. You come with me too. If there’s any trouble, kill that old bastard first!” Ling Yuyang said viciously, as if Ling Shuanghe was not his own father but an enemy.

”Understood!” Ye Tianchen nodded and said.

Three sedans set out from the Ling family estate. The group of M-country Marine Corps soldiers stationed outside had already received orders not to impede Ling Shuanghe and the others from leaving. They were headed to the headquarters of the Ling Group located in the center of New York City for a board meeting. The previous night, Ling Yuyang had already contacted Luo Ha, a lapdog of the M-country government, and at this point, he was not afraid of anyone eavesdropping on his calls since Ling Shuanghe was already under his control. Therefore, Ling Yuyang had become the helmsman of the entire Ling family, calling the shots for everything.

Ling Yuyang reported this good news to Luo Ha, which made Luo Ha very happy. The addictive drug had indeed worked wonders. In such a short time, it had enabled Ling Yuyang to take control of Ling Shuanghe. The M-country government didn’t have to resort to overt violence and strong-arming to keep the Ling Group, and they had Ling Yuyang, a puppet, naturally, they wouldn’t stop this father and son duo from holding a board meeting to announce the chairmanship passing to Ling Yuyang.

The first and last cars were driven by Bao Tianglong and six others as bodyguard vehicles, which did not arouse any suspicion from Ling Yuyang. The Ling family estate had its own bodyguards, and it was normal for bodyguards to accompany Ling Shuanghe whenever he went out. However, what Ling Yuyang didn’t know was that among all these people, not a single one was his man. Even Ah Pi, sitting next to him, had long been replaced by Ye Tianchen.

The middle sedan had a driver from the Ling family estate, with Ling Yuxun sitting in the passenger seat. Ling Shuanghe, Ling Yuyang, and Ye Tianchen sat in the back. Ling Yuyang was extremely pleased with himself, and when he saw Ling Shuanghe, he didn’t even bother to greet him, acting as if he was the real boss.

”Yu Yang, soon I will hand over the Ling Group to you. I hope you can bring it to greater heights, can...” Ling Shuanghe looked at Ling Yuyang and said.

”I know, old man, enough already! I’m over forty years old, it’s about time you stepped down!” said Ling Yuyang impatiently.

”Uncle, how can you talk to Grandpa like that? He’s your father!” Ling Yuxun turned around and said.

”It’s none of your business. I’ll deal with you both later. Old man, make sure you speak highly of me to those old Immortals, those shareholders, once we get to the company. Tell them your decision is to hand over full control of the Ling Group to me and that you will never meddle with anything to do with the Ling Group again,” Ling Yuyang said harshly.

”Yes, I... I understand,” Ling Shuanghe responded submissively.

”Right, did you bring the seal? With that, we’ll have one more piece of solid evidence,” Ling Yuyang suddenly remembered about the seal and quickly said.

”Ah? No, nothing, I just forgot...” Ling Shuanghe feigned forgetfulness as he spoke.

”You... old man, you really are getting old, with such a poor memory. Forget it, it doesn’t matter. As long as you’re not dead, we don’t need that so-called seal. Just remember to behave yourself later on!” Ling Yuyang harshly said.

At that moment, while Ye Tianchen and the others were heading towards the Ling Group in the center of New York City, in the White House in Washington, Hei Bama finally had a smile on his face, no longer continuing to smash his cup. Looking at the official standing before him, he calmly said, ”Luo Ha, you’ve done a good job with this. That seductive drug is indeed very effective. This way, we can effortlessly take over the entire Ling Group’s assets.”

”But, Mr. President, I still have some worries...” Luo Ha hesitated before speaking.

”Worry about what?” Hei Bama asked disdainfully.

”The Eastern Demon’s strength is formidable, and that Ling Yuyang is not an easy opponent either...” Luo Ha expressed his concern.

”Hmph, I’ve already found someone to deal with the Eastern Demon. Even ten Eastern Demons will die this time. As for the puppet Ling Yuyang, if he is obedient, he can continue to be used. If not, just kill him and find another puppet!” Hei Bama said with an emotionless face.

”Understood, Mr. President, I’ll see to it now!” Luo Ha nodded and said.

”By the way, once Ling Yuyang becomes the chairman of the Ling Group, have Ling Shuanghe killed. After all, I’m still a bit uneasy with that old man alive,” Hei Bama paused before continuing.

”Yes, but the Eastern Demon is sent from China to protect the old man Ling Shuanghe. It won’t be easy to kill this old guy. And it could potentially trigger a major war. Plus, the Ling Group’s skyscraper is in the city center, I’m afraid it might harm innocent civilians!” Luo Ha was taken aback.

”Don’t worry about that. I’ve had Alice clear a ten-mile radius around the Ling Group skyscraper with the Iron Armor Army. Besides, we don’t need to dirty our hands killing Ling Shuanghe; we might not even succeed. Isn’t it more interesting to have a son kill his own father?” Hei Bama said with a cold laugh.

”I understand. I’ll take care of it!” Luo Ha replied with a ruthless smile.

After Luo Ha left, Hei Bama moved his right arm slightly, only to find it unbearably sore from throwing cups the previous day. He didn’t know how many glasses he had smashed, but the pain was intense. Now, with each throb, he wished he could tear Ye Tianchen into a thousand pieces. Gritting his teeth, he said, ”Eastern Demon, with Red Child in action, you are surely doomed. Everything is under my control. Just wait for your death!”

Shortly thereafter, the car carrying Ye Tianchen and the others arrived at the center of New York. Upon entering the city center, Ye Tianchen felt something was amiss. His powerful Superpower Perception spread out, and he frowned slightly. It was apparent to him that within ten miles, there were hardly any people around. It seemed the U.S. government was still cautious and if Ling Yuyang’s ascension to chairman of the Ling Group was not smooth, they might resort to violence and undoubtedly engage in a massacre.

After getting out of the car, Bao Tianglong, Li San, Wang Jie, Lin Duan, Hu Long, Zhang Tian, and Zhang Di, seven men, alighted first and stood beside the car, resembling a scene from a movie. However, the strength of these seven individuals was such that even an entire battalion of soldiers would likely not be able to shake them.

Ling Yuyang stepped out of the car full of arrogance. Looking up at the towering thirty-something story building inscribed with the large letters ”Ling Group,” a vicious smirk appeared on his lips. Very soon, the entire Ling Group would be his. He had waited far too long for this day. How could he not be thrilled at the thought of it?

”We’ve finally arrived. It’s been a long time since I’ve been here!” Ling Shuanghe said with a smile.

”Grandfather, let me help you, be careful,” Ling Yuxun quickly offered her support to Ling Shuanghe.

”Old and dying thing, do you still need to rest and drink tea? Come on, let’s go in!” Ling Yuyang said irritably.

Ling Shuanghe glanced at Ling Yuyang and couldn’t help but sigh, shaking his head as he walked towards the entrance of the Ling Group, while Ling Yuxun felt a bit melancholic.

”Brother Bao, I have a feeling that something’s not right...” Bao Tianglong whispered to Ye Tianchen.

”Adapt to the situation; our first priority is to ensure the safety of Ling Shuanghe and Yuxun,” Ye Tianchen said before following behind Ling Yuyang...
