"Ye Chen, you're not a fool anymore. You've been lying to us for so long. You're so cunning."

Zheng Xiang's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.

Tan Yu was filled with boundless hatred. She thought that Ye Chen had become an idiot, and she could finally trample him under her feet.

But in the end, he realized that Ye Chen was just pretending to be stupid. He was still the same monstrous genius, while he was a complete clown.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but shout to the sky, venting his anger and resentment.

Ye Chen slowly walked up to the two of them, looking down at them as if they were two ants.

He asked in a detached voice, "Do either of you have any last words?"

"Hahaha......"

Zheng Xiang suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Ye Chen, do you think you've won? Let me tell you the truth, I've already hired a master from the Dark Dawn assassin organization, and he's watching nearby right now."

"If I just shout, he'll appear instantly and turn you into a corpse!"

Tan Yu was taken aback. "You hired assassins from Dark Dawn? I did too."

"Haha, it seems we're thinking the same thing."

The two, who were originally at loggerheads and determined to fight to the death, now put aside their grudges and prepared to deal with Ye Chen together.

They looked at each other and shouted at the same time.

"Summon the experts of Dark Abyss to appear and kill Ye Chen!"

However, despite calling out several times, the Dark Dawn organization member who had been in contact with them did not appear.

Even a fool would know something is wrong.

But they couldn't figure out what was wrong. The Dark Dawn Organization had always had a good reputation, so why did they stand them up today?

Are you looking for me?

Just as they were in a daze, Ye Chen spoke up jokingly.

His facial muscles twitched, and in an instant, he transformed into the familiar face of the two men—the assassin from the Dark Dawn organization.

"You...this was all your conspiracy!"

Zheng Xiang and Tan Yu finally realized what was happening, and hatred, anger, and regret surged through their minds like a tsunami.

They had been plotting for a long time and spent hundreds of billions to hire assassins from Anxiao, thinking that killing Ye Chen and destroying the Ye family would be a piece of cake.

But in the end, they discovered that it was all Ye Chen's conspiracy, and they were like playthings, manipulated by him.

Only now did they finally recall how terrifying Ye Chen's scheming, methods, and strength had been five years ago.

Back then, they would instinctively tremble and feel awe when facing Ye Chen.

Now, that feeling has returned with crystal clarity.

The thought of dying immediately made Zheng Xiang's crotch wet, and he screamed in terror.

"Ye Chen, you can't kill me! You're an assassin from the Dark Dawn organization. Aren't you afraid that killing your employer will damage the organization's reputation?"

He could only use this to threaten Ye Chen.

Ye Chen chuckled, "I didn't agree to kill you. I just said that if there are other experts protecting Ye Chen, I will intervene."

"You... pfft!"

Zheng Xiang was so angry that he vomited blood, because it was really as Ye Chen said. But how could he have imagined that Ye Chen was actually a super expert!

Tan Yu had completely given up struggling, her face filled with despair.

"Save your breath. No matter what you say, he won't let us go tonight."

"That's not necessarily true. I can give you a chance to survive."

"What opportunity?"

The two spoke in unison, a glimmer of hope appearing in their gloomy eyes. After all, who would want to die if they could live?

Ye Chen's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Only one of you two can survive. As for who it will be, that depends on your individual abilities."

Tan Yu and Zheng Xiang were both smart people and instantly understood what Ye Chen meant.

Although they didn't know if Ye Chen was playing a trick on them, faced with the fear of death, they would seize any opportunity that presented itself.

"Zheng Xiang, you son of a bitch, die!"

"I'll fucking kill you first!"

The two attacked almost simultaneously; Tan Yu's dagger pierced Zheng Xiang's heart, while Zheng Xiang's machete severed half of Tan Yu's neck.

"Bang bang".

The two men fell to the ground one after the other, their eyes wide open, dying with their eyes still open.

Ye Chen pressed the end-of-video button on his phone and shouted into the alley.

"Xiao Liu, get your men out here to clean up the mess."

At the end of the alley, Li Muling, the sixth swordswoman of Lingxiao Pavilion, slowly appeared, walked quickly to him, and respectfully called him "Master".

As for the corpses scattered all over the ground, a scene of utter horror resembling hell, she didn't even glance at them.

Immediately afterwards, many people in black protective suits appeared, threw stacks of body bags on the ground, and began to dispose of the bodies.

"Come on, let's have a drink together."

Ye Chen took the wet wipes Li Muling offered and wiped his hands, then smiled and led her into the bar.

The two found a relatively quiet spot to sit down and ordered a bottle of Rémy Martin.

Li Muling bent down to pour the wine. Today she was wearing an open-necked shirt and held Ye Chen captive for three seconds.

Seeing her master's face turn slightly red, she subtly curled the corners of her lips.

"Ahem!"

Ye Chen cleared his throat to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Hey, how's the preparation for Gu's brain-computer interface product launch tomorrow?"

Li Muling also put away her smile and resumed her capable assistant demeanor.

"I have arranged for people to keep a close eye on the scene at all times. Before the press conference starts, the Han family will definitely not cause any trouble."

However, after the engagement banquet during the day, they should have realized something was wrong and might have contacted the Sima family in the provincial capital.

In the provincial capital, the Sima family is a force that can rival the Li family. I'm afraid the manpower I've mobilized from my own family alone won't be enough to defend against them. Should we utilize the power of the Lingxiao Pavilion?

Ye Chen chuckled and waved his hand.

"No need. These families in Jiangcheng are nothing but ants. It's not worth exposing Lingxiao Pavilion."

Li Muling chuckled upon hearing this, "Muling is mistaken. With you in charge at the press conference, who can cause any trouble?"

The two chatted for a while longer before leaving together.

On his way back home, Ye Chen remained calm, pondering the current state of Lingxiao Pavilion.

According to Li Muling, the original master of Lingxiao Pavilion, who was also Ye Chen's third master, has not shown up for many years, which has led to some chaos in Lingxiao Pavilion.

The top ten Fiora players each lead a group of players, and none of them are willing to submit to the others.

Having witnessed Ye Chen's strength and methods, Li Muling naturally accepted him as her master, but the other nine sword maidens might not feel the same way.

Ye Chen was thinking about how to completely integrate Lingxiao Pavilion in the shortest possible time.

At that time, he will wield a terrifying power, making it much easier to investigate who is targeting the Ye family or to seek revenge.

When Gu Ning returned home, she indeed did not go home.

Being left alone on the second day of his marriage filled Ye Chen with resentment towards the Han family.

Silent all night.

The next morning at 10:00 AM, Gujia's press conference regarding brain-computer interfaces will begin on time.
