The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 596: Play with You Guys Next Time

As the supreme ruler of Country M, Miller was aware that entrusting the task of finding Ye Chenfeng to the underground forces was the most appropriate approach. First, the intelligence of the underground forces was sometimes more reliable than that of the state intelligence departments; second, there were many places where Miller couldn’t openly deploy the power of the state. If it became known that he had become a puppet of the devouring empire, he might very well lose his position as the supreme ruler of Country M.

Miller immediately had Abert reach out to Rister, the Family Head of the Charnoff family; Leonard, the Family Head of the Gambir family; Ma Changsi, the Family Head of the Mist family; and Sydney, the Family Head of the Aichlan family. These four families were the four major clans within Country M’s underground forces and held unshakable status within them. The rapid rise of the Victory Sky Society established by Li Yaguo in Country M was also due to the influence of these four major families.

Half an hour later.

Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, and Sydney hurriedly arrived at Miller’s office. Miller laid out the entire situation for them clearly and concisely. He had no intention of hiding anything, and besides, Shadow had not left yet, so he had to tell the truth.

After listening to Miller’s words, Rister and the others were all extremely shocked. They stole glances at Shadow, who sat expressionless to the side. They had personally experienced the horror of the devouring empire, and now that they had heard all representatives of the devouring empire had gathered in Country M, they were even less able to stay calm.

Originally, the reason these four Family Heads had groveled before Ye Chenfeng was not only because Ye Chenfeng had saved them but also due to the unlimited potential he had shown. Now that even Miller, the supreme ruler of Country M, was willing to become a puppet of the devouring empire, what other choice did they have?

However, inside, Rister and the others had no real reason to worry. With the entire devouring empire gathered in Country M, how could Ye Chenfeng alone possibly confront the whole devouring empire? Thus, they believed pledging allegiance to the devouring empire might also be a good move; after all, there was no real sense of loyalty between them and Ye Chenfeng. Now with the entire devouring empire backing them, they need not fear Ye Chenfeng’s formidable strength anymore.

Rister spoke to the Shadow, "If Ye Chenfeng is still in Country M, I believe the most likely place he could be is at Li Yaguo’s house. Li Yaguo is probably the only person in Country M that Ye Chenfeng can trust."

"Yes, Mr. Shadow, we can start by visiting Li Yaguo’s house. Even if Ye Chenfeng isn’t at Li Yaguo’s house, we can take Li Yaguo into custody, and then we can use him to draw out Ye Chenfeng," Leonard immediately added.

"Good, let’s set out for Li Yaguo’s house right now. Rest assured, even if Ye Chenfeng is indeed there, he won’t be able to cause any trouble in my presence," Shadow said casually, as if discussing something of no consequence.

"Mr. Shadow, given my position, it is not convenient for me to join you. Let Abert accompany you instead!" Miller said cautiously.

Shadow nodded. He knew Miller was speaking the truth, so he did not make a big deal out of it.

...

In Country M, in the hall of Li Yaguo’s villa.

Ye Chenfeng, Wang Li, Hei Xin, and the others didn’t feel the slightest bit sleepy. They were all speculating about what the devouring empire might do next?

As time ticked away, Ye Chenfeng felt increasingly uneasy. He said, "Hei Xin, Wang Li, I don’t think it’s suitable for us to stay at Li’s villa any longer. So much time has passed; the people from the devouring empire may have tracked us down by now. We’re not in a position to have a direct confrontation with the devouring empire."

Turning to Li Yaguo, Ye Chenfeng said, "Li, you should leave with us! If the devouring empire knows you’ve helped us, they certainly won’t spare you either."

Li Yaguo patted the sofa they were all sitting on, then pointed to a cup of a special color on the coffee table in front of them, and said with a smile, "Brother Ye, rest assured, if we encounter an emergency, we will definitely be able to leave here safely. If we just move this cup forcefully, it will immediately activate a mechanism I’ve prepared in advance. This sofa will take us swiftly down to the ground below, to an underground garage where I’ve prepared a car. So, when the time comes, leaving will be a very simple matter!"

Ye Chenfeng had not expected that Li Yaguo would have installed an escape mechanism in the villa, which now meant he had nothing to worry about. Even if a master with a ten-level Soul Force really did come looking for trouble, they could leave safely at a moment’s notice.

With a loud "Bang!",

Right then, the front door of Li Yaguo’s villa was blasted open by a powerful force. The door, made of special materials, could at most only be deformed by a speeding car slamming into it; it should not have been possible for it to be knocked to the ground so easily — which only emphasized the incredible strength behind the blow.

The moment the villa’s front door fell, Ye Chenfeng and his companions saw Shadow, Abert, Rister, and others walk in. All of Ye Chenfeng’s focus was on Shadow; he could sense that this person was a Soul Force warrior, and that his Soul Force was far stronger than his own. In other words, Shadow was operating on the level of a true ten-level Soul Force master.

Ye Chenfeng truly had not expected that the Swallowing Empire actually had a ten-level Soul Force expert.

Similarly, upon seeing familiar faces like Abert and Rister, Ye Chenfeng knew that these people must have succumbed to the Swallowing Empire. A cold smile appeared on his lips. Since Li Yaguo’s villa had an escape mechanism and they were currently seated right above it, Ye Chenfeng was in no rush to leave. "I didn’t expect to see so many old friends tonight. Abert, Rister, Leonard, Ma Changsi, Sydney, you five wouldn’t be here to invite me for a drink this late, would you?"

Of course, Abert and the others could discern the mockery in Ye Chenfeng’s tone. Their faces turned shades of red and green, but as they thought of how they were inevitably going to sever ties with Ye Chenfeng tonight, they no longer had any hesitation or embarrassment. Abert was the first to speak, "Ye Chenfeng, you shouldn’t have provoked the Swallowing Empire. Out of respect for our past acquaintance, if you surrender now, we can spare you some pain."

"Ye Chenfeng, today Mr. Shadow has joined us, and for him, dealing with you is as simple as lifting a finger. I would advise you not to resist."

"Ye Chenfeng, today Mr. Shadow intends to capture you alive. Do not struggle in vain; surrendering is your wisest choice."

...

Rister, Leonard, and the heads of the four great families each took their turn to speak, seemingly completely forgetting that if not for Ye Chenfeng, they might already be meeting King Yama.

"Ye Chenfeng, this man called Shadow is the second most powerful person in the Swallowing Empire, next to the King. His strength is said to be unfathomable. We should leave this place now," Hei Xin whispered beside Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, then said to Abert and the others, "What a line, ’Who let you provoke the Swallowing Empire?’ If it hadn’t been for me, you all would have been dead at their hands by now. If you’re going to be dogs, at least be smart dogs who know how to choose their master. Sooner or later, you will regret today’s choice."

"Ye Chenfeng, what you should be considering is your current situation, what right do you have to criticize us? Perhaps in a few days’ time, there will be no one named Ye Chenfeng in this world," Abert said, having made his choice to submit to the Swallowing Empire and thus without any further hesitation.

"Ye Chenfeng, would you like me to take action, or will you follow me willingly? You should know that you are no match for me; let’s not waste any more time," said Shadow expressionlessly.

Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and said, "So what if you have ten-level Soul Force? You will die by my hands sooner or later. Do you think you can capture me alive tonight?"

"Ye Chenfeng, it seems you’re not willing to come quietly." Shadow twisted his arms, ready to capture Ye Chenfeng.

Seeing that Shadow was about to make a move, Ye Chenfeng quickly shifted a cup of a particular color on the coffee table. The sofa they were sitting on immediately began to rapidly descend into the ground. Just before Ye Chenfeng was taken underground by the sofa, he laughed and bellowed at Shadow, "You son of a tortoise, I’ll play with you next time. Next time we meet, I’ll settle all the scores from before." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to give it your recommendation votes and monthly votes on Qidian.com.
