Chapter 109: A Three-Way Encirclement!
What’s going on?
Staring at the chaotic scene, Ye Tian was puzzled.
That Asseves Saino, who had brutally murdered women from the Dragon Kingdom, should have been a great achievement for Ye Tian, who had joined forces with the Northern Garrison to uphold justice. At the very least, there should have been recognition or rewards, and the situation shouldn’t have deteriorated like this.
Yet now, not only was the Asseves family untouched by investigation, they had instead allied with multiple parties to come looking for trouble with him.
Ignoring the shouting crowd below, Ye Tian first made a call to Tang Wanyue.
“What do you want? I’m eating,” came the impatient murmur from the girl on the other end.
“I’m asking about the Asseves case. How did you end up handling it?”
“Oh, the authorities in Yingtian City said they would take over, so I had my men withdraw and brought your two younger sisters back.”
“I see.” Hearing this, Ye Tian mused quietly, “Most likely, the upper echelons of Yingtian City were also bribed by the Asseves family and actively covered up their crimes.”
From the other end came the sudden crash of a smashed table.
“This is outrageous!”
Tang Wanyue was furious. “I serve the Dragon Kingdom; how dare they publicly betray the law and order? I’m sending troops now to arrest them all!”
Even as a general of the Northern Garrison, she hadn’t expected these foreigners to collude with Dragon Kingdom’s top officials.
No wonder Saino Asseves was so rampant, having harmed hundreds of young women without any reports.
It was impossible there wasn’t a high-ranking cover-up.
She should have foreseen this earlier…
Lost in thought, Tang Wanyue felt an overwhelming regret for not arriving on the scene personally and for trusting her subordinates too much, giving them an opening.
“No worries. These fools have come looking for trouble now,” Ye Tian comforted her. “Let me handle it.”
“No, you can’t kill official high-ranking people without evidence; you’ll just bring trouble on yourself unless…” Tang Wanyue was about to organize a plan but suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly changed her tone. “It’s fine. Just go ahead and do what you must. Someone will have your back later.”
With that, she hung up.
Strange…
Though he didn’t fully understand Tang Wanyue’s meaning, Ye Tian seized one key point: from now on, he could act freely, and no matter the chaos, someone would cover for him.
Those words came from the Northern Garrison’s commanding general—there was no reason to doubt them.
“Ye Tian, get down here!”
Steven, a blonde with blue eyes who bore a five-point resemblance to Saino, saw Ye Tian calmly talking on the phone and shouted hurriedly.
“Are you also part of the Asseves family?”
Looking down at the white man below, Ye Tian replied indifferently, “He’s Saino’s older brother, Steven.”
At that moment, a commanding female voice sounded behind him. Liang Yue appeared by his side.
“That dumb mule tried to defile me with his brother before, but I kicked him in the groin and sent him to the hospital.”
“Probably still not recovered.”
“You, filthy woman!” Seeing Liang Yue, Steven instantly erupted with rage. He had only wanted some fun but nearly ended up crippled.
“Just wait, you filthy woman. Once I deal with Ye Tian, I’ll drag you back and torture you for life!”
“Moron.” Standing on the balcony, she flipped him off.
“Well said.”
Ye Tian smiled faintly, drew a long knife from his back, and without a word, leapt down from the balcony, walking straight up to Steven.
“I’ve always believed that equality knows no borders, and beasts don’t recognize nations either!”
“And beasts are meant to be slaughtered.”
With those words, a sudden flash of the blade caught everyone off guard—a pillar of blood erupted!
Steven’s severed head hit the ground, dead beyond doubt!
“How dare you!”
Seeing Steven killed, the tension escalated instantly. Over a dozen formidable enforcers of various nationalities surged forward, encircling Ye Tian.
Northern Dipper Realm!
“Ha! What’s there to fear? Didn’t I just kill him?” Ye Tian laughed loudly at the group of Northern Dipper Realm experts before him. “This small number of people isn’t even worth my time.”
“Ye Tian, stop spouting nonsense!”
From the crowd, someone stepped forward, pointing angrily at Ye Tian.
“I’m telling you, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have some talent.”
“In front of true powerhouses, you’re nothing. If you anger the Federation of Abilities, you’ll die today!”
The speaker was none other than Sun Qishan!
Hearing that the notorious Asseves family had joined forces with the Federation of Abilities to come to the Central Capital to hunt Ye Tian, Sun Qishan seized the opportunity, stepping forward immediately to guide them.
All just to witness Ye Tian’s miserable death!
Recently, Ye Tian had brought tremendous pressure to the entire Sun family, a burden weighing like a thousand-pound stone. Every member, including Sun Qishan, tread carefully, afraid of making a mistake and being wiped out completely.
“This remnant of the Ye family must finally sink into the sea,” Sun Qishan thought darkly.
The dark clouds of the past were about to dissipate.
“Oh, the rat finally appears from the gutter,” Ye Tian sneered coldly.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!
Since they had all come together, today would be the day to settle everything once and for all!
“Ye Tian, we are the Dragon Kingdom’s enforcement team. It has been confirmed that you murdered an important international guest. You are hereby arrested!”
“Cooperate honestly, and your punishment may be lighter!”
“No, no leniency!” A representative from the Federation of Abilities stepped forward angrily. “He breaks all laws and dared to kill in front of us during the arrest—he is lawless!”
“Enforcers, I order you to execute him on the spot to eliminate further threat!”
“This…”
The Dragon Kingdom enforcers frowned at these words.
What the other side said was true—according to Dragon Kingdom law, a martial artist who had committed such serious killings should be executed immediately to prevent further bloodshed.
But they had also been instructed that this man was extraordinarily gifted and might one day reach the Martial Sovereign realm.
They were ordered to find ways to mitigate his crimes and try to recruit him.
What to do?
The Federation’s demands were reasonable; Ye Tian could not easily refute them.
This matter was truly thorny.
“Enforcers, our embassy also believes such a dangerous martial artist must be eliminated immediately. Fortunately, we have over a dozen Northern Dipper Realm masters here. We can strike together!” A representative from the embassy of the United States stepped forward, speaking with righteous authority.
Over a dozen Northern Dipper Realm experts!
Originally calm and expecting his junior brother to wreak havoc, Liang Yue gasped sharply.
She was only at the peak of the Taishan Realm, still one step away from Northern Dipper. Facing these opponents, even self-defense was difficult.
Her junior brother was just in his early twenties, and his cultivation was inscrutable—he seemed to have a treasure bestowed by his masters that concealed his aura.
But no matter what, he could not fight ten at once!
She felt she might have endangered her junior brother.
Liang Yue’s heart hung heavy, suspended in dread.
