The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 590 Betrayal

Before getting out of the car, Ye Chenfeng sent a text message to Li Yaguo. Regardless of whether his premonition was accurate, it was always good to be prepared.

At the entrance of the manor, six burly men dressed in black stood on guard. When they saw Ye Chenfeng and Hei Xin approaching, they signalled for them to stop and undergo a check. The six men were holding electronic devices that scanned Ye Chenfeng, Hei Xin, Wang Li, and the others to detect any firearms they might be carrying.

After relinquishing the firearms they had on them, one of the bald foreigners led Ye Chenfeng and Hei Xin into the manor. As Ye Chenfeng walked, he took in his surroundings, noticing that many places in the manor were set up with firing points. Apart from the snipers hidden at each firing point, the entire estate seemed eerily deserted.

The bald foreigner led Ye Chenfeng and the others into a room within the manor and pressed a red button on the wall. A square hole immediately appeared in the floor. Speaking in not-too-fluent Huaxia language, he said, "The venue for this grand meeting is right below us. You can go down first and have a look around. Representatives from the other nations of the Devouring Empire have almost all arrived."

Ye Chenfeng’s bad feeling intensified, but since they had come this far, as the saying goes, one cannot catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair. No matter what, they now had to take things one step at a time.

Hei Xin’s four competent assistants were the first to step into the opening that led underground, and soon Ye Chenfeng, Hei Xin, and the others followed. They descended a staircase leading down. Whispering to Hei Xin by his side, Ye Chenfeng said, "Hei Xin, I have a feeling that something isn’t quite right. We need to be extra cautious later."

Hei Xin shared the sentiment, "Ye Chenfeng, so you feel it too! All this is a little too smooth. Hopefully, we’re just overthinking it."

Lamps illuminated both sides of the walls as they went underground. After walking for about four to five minutes, the view suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground palace at the end of the corridor.

At that moment, there were already around a hundred people in the palace. Hei Xin saw many familiar faces among them and said to Ye Chenfeng beside him, "It looks like the leaders from the other Devouring Empire nations have mostly arrived. We should seize this opportunity to take down the entire Devouring Empire in one fell swoop."

When Ye Chenfeng and his group appeared in the underground palace, many people cast covert glances at them, their eyes filled with mockery and derision. Although they masked it well, they couldn’t escape Ye Chenfeng’s notice.

Noticing this, Ye Chenfeng frowned and whispered, "Hei Xin, I think this is not as simple as we thought. It’s very possible that the people of the Devouring Empire already know our plan."

Hei Xin also began to worry. If things were as Ye Chenfeng had described, then today they had undoubtedly fallen into a trap set by the Devouring Empire, and their chances of leaving alive were close to none.

"Ye Chenfeng, what should we do now..."

Hei Xin’s words stopped abruptly as he saw a man in his thirties from Country M walking towards them. The Mountry man, sporting a smile, approached Hei Xin and said in quite fluent Huaxia language, "I guess you must be Hei Xin, the person in charge of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia. I’m the new head of the Devouring Empire in Country M, my name is Fern."

This man named Fern looked Hei Xin up and down and then turned his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, Wang Li, and the others, his eyes thickened with mockery. "Although you have changed your appearance, I’m certain one of you is named Ye Chenfeng, right? I really have to thank him for killing Angelina, allowing me to smoothly take over the position of head of the Devouring Empire in Country M."

Upon hearing Fern’s words, Ye Chenfeng and Hei Xin knew their suspicions were correct. The Devouring Empire had known about their plans all along?

Meanwhile, Hei Xin’s three trusted subordinates, Hei Hu, Hei Bao, and Hei She, had drifted some distance from Hei Xin. Unmasked smiles spread across their faces. Only Hei Xiong, who remained by Hei Xin’s side, changed his expression immediately upon seeing their behavior and barked, "Hei Hu, what are you three plotting? Do you really intend to cut ties with the boss?"

Hei Hu sneered, "Hei Xiong, we knew for sure that you’d be the one to die for Hei Xin. Do you have any idea that Hei Xin is so overconfident that he wants to eliminate the Devouring Empire? Is the Devouring Empire something he can shake? We three simply made the wisest choice. Following Hei Xin is just asking for death."

Hei Xiong glanced at Hei Xin beside him, who slowly nodded. After struggling briefly, Hei Xiong’s expression hardened as he shouted, "Hei Hu, this isn’t a reason for you to betray the boss. We are the boss’ subordinates; we ought to give our lives for him. Moreover, how has the boss wronged us over the years for you three to commit such an unrighteous act?"

"Hei Xiong, your name really suits you well. You’re just a big, dumb black bear who is stupid until death. Why should we three die for Hei Xin? On the contrary, as soon as Hei Xin dies, we three will become the heads of the Devouring Empire in Huaxia Country," Hei Hu said without a trace of guilt.

Hei Xin’s eyes, hidden beneath the mask, blazed with fury. Hei Hu, Hei Bao, and Hei She were his capable assistants. He had not expected these three to betray him, and to do so with such brazen righteousness? His palm suddenly clenched into a fist, and he let out a self-mocking noise from his throat, "Hei Hu, Hei Bao, Hei She, you three have done well. After I cultivated you with such effort over the years, you choose to betray me? My father warned me before he died not to trust anyone."

Ye Chenfeng, seeing Hei Xin’s increasingly uncontrollable emotions, grasped his shoulder and said, "Hei Xin, you need to calm down now. At least I, Ye Chenfeng, won’t stab you in the back. Do you still remember what we agreed on in Huaxia Country? You were willing to leave your back to me, and I will definitely not let you down."

"Since some people like to be dishonorable lackeys, then why don’t we just send them to King Yama!" Ye Chenfeng’s lips curled into a cold smile, his piercing eyes fixed on Hei Hu and the others.

"The Devouring Empire has taken great pains to set this trap for us. How can we let them down today?" The Level Nine Soul Force within Ye Chenfeng suddenly surged to its peak. If he wanted to leave this place today, a slaughter was inevitable.

Hei Xin took a deep breath, looking at Ye Chenfeng, and his emotions finally stabilized as he asked, "Ye Chenfeng, what do we do now?"

Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Slay them all. I want to see just how formidable the Devouring Empire really is."

With those words, Ye Chenfeng tore off the Human Skin Mask from his face. Now that his identity had been exposed, there was no longer any need for him to hide.

Wang Li and the others behind Ye Chenfeng also tore off their Human Skin Masks in turn, ready for a thorough and exhilarating fight.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng and Hei Xin preparing to fight with all their might, all the members of the Devouring Empire present wore expressions of anticipation for the spectacle. In their view, Ye Chenfeng and the others were destined to meet their doom today, for the Devouring Empire’s four great war generals of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning had personally taken the field. Could they not kill these inferior challengers?

Ye Chenfeng, Hei Xin, Wang Li, and the others were all wholly focused. Relying on their keen perception, Ye Chenfeng did not sense the presence of anyone in the room capable of defeating him. However, just as he was about to relax, four men from Huaxia Country walked out from the depths of the palace, their sleeves embroidered with the characters "wind, fire, thunder, lightning."

To Ye Chenfeng’s surprise, these four men were emanating fluctuations of Soul Force.
