Chapter 450: Chapter 399: Joining the Game!

Night fell, darkness replacing the light to envelop the earth, thousands of homes lit up, casting their glow on every corner of the city, making Bangkok under the shroud of night appear like a dazzling city.

Like some of the international metropolises in the Huaxia mainland, Bangkok, once an important economic hub in Southeast Asia and now the capital of the Southeast Asia Special Zone, suffered from severe traffic congestion.

After nightfall, the main roads were still plagued with vehicles, cars forming a steel dragon that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Ye Fan had been in Bangkok for several days and had a grasp on the traffic and road conditions. Hence, when he drove to the Tiger Gang’s headquarters, he did not choose the main roads but some smaller alleys instead.

Even so, by the time his car reached the forest three kilometers away from the villa, it was past nine o’clock.

To prevent being detected by members of the Yanhuang Organization, Ye Fan concealed his car in the forest and, just like last time, proceeded on foot to the villa.

Compared to Chen Feilian, Ye Fan’s movement technique was a bit slower, but it was still on par with an ordinary Martial Artist at the stage of Innate Great Perfection. He arrived outside the villa in a very short time.

Although Ye Fan had the Ghostly Gourd and the Ghost Ring he obtained from Hunter, which could perfectly hide his presence, he chose not to infiltrate the villa directly, but to release his consciousness and sense carefully.

Upon sensing, Ye Fan found four members of the Yanhuang Organization hidden around the villa, their strengths varied, with the strongest at the Peak stage of Innate and the weakest at the Early Innate.

After detecting the aura of the four Yanhuang Organization members, Ye Fan thought for a moment, found a corner far from them, leaped over the wall with ease, and successfully sneaked into the villa.

Before the chaos in Southeast Asia was completely quelled, Ye Fan had been living in the villa and was familiar with its layout—as soon as he entered the villa, he didn’t stop but propelled himself off the ground, swiftly moving towards the mansion where Taihu lived.

Shortly after, Ye Fan arrived at the entrance of the mansion.

"Mr. Ye."

At the entrance of the mansion, the elite guard of the Tiger Gang, upon seeing Ye Fan, was startled at first, then immediately bowed respectfully.

Ye Fan nodded slightly and walked into the courtyard of the mansion, though his mind was somewhat perplexed that Taihu had replaced the ordinary bodyguards.

In the courtyard of the mansion, Nawa and Su Ke were seated in the lotus position at their respective Cultivation spots, engaged in Meditation Cultivation, just like usual.

"Mr. Ye."

Noticing Ye Fan’s arrival in the courtyard, both of them got up in unison, hurried to Ye Fan, and greeted him with respect. Their attitudes were no different from the previous days, both showing great fear.

"You continue Cultivating. I need to discuss something with Taihu," Ye Fan said without stopping his stride, entering the main building of the mansion directly.

Watching Ye Fan’s retreating figure, Nawa and Su Ke exchanged a glance, seeing the emotion of worry in each other’s eyes.

And they were not the only ones worried; so was Taihu, who was in the study.

Upon sensing Ye Fan’s arrival, Taihu became as uneasy as a cat on hot bricks, his expression filled with panic and anxiety, his heartbeat uncontrollably speeding up as if it would leap out of his throat.

"Whew~"

Thinking that whether he revealed himself or hid, the outcome would be the same, Taihu took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and bravely attempted to calm his emotions.

Creak!

Seconds later, Ye Fan pushed open the door of the study.

"Ye... Mr. Ye!"

Taihu, as if shocked by a pin in his behind, jumped to his feet and said somewhat panic-stricken, "I was just about to report to you, sir, but I didn’t know how to contact you."

Ye Fan stayed silent, just narrowing his eyes as he scrutinized Taihu.

"Mr. Ye, you must have heard the news that’s been circulating about you killing the representatives of the Dark Council, Giant Axe Organization, and the Yakuza’s Southeast Asia Special Zone,"

Seeing Ye Fan not speaking, Taihu felt an inexplicable surge of nervousness but still tried his best to maintain composure. "Upon hearing the news, I immediately sent people to investigate, and it turned out that it was spread by the people of Nanqinghong..."

"Shoo!"

Before Taihu could finish his sentence, a whistling sound suddenly broke the silence!

"Bang—"

The Xuanye Flying Blade shot out from the sleeve and directly hit the ceiling light in front of Ye Fan, instantly shattering it. A tiny surveillance device fell to the floor along with the fragments of the ceiling light, clanging incessantly.

Thump!

The suddenness of the event sent a severe jolt through Taihu’s heart, and he stood rigidly in place like he had been rooted to the spot.

Under the light, he stared at Ye Fan with wide eyes, his face filled with fear!

The fear was because the tiny surveillance device was something Chen Feilian had ordered him to install, aiming to record his entire conversation with Ye Fan.

Now, without Ye Fan uttering a single word, the surveillance device had been discovered...

With that in consideration, let alone whether or not he could explain this to Chen Feilian, whether he could make it past Ye Fan’s scrutiny was an uncertainty.

"On my way here, I kept wondering if it could have been you who leaked the information. Now it seems very likely."

After destroying the surveillance device, Ye Fan carefully checked again to ensure that there were no other devices in the study. He then fixed a cold stare on Taihu, "However, I’m curious, what exactly motivated you to do this?"

Gulp!

As Ye Fan’s words reached his ears, Taihu came back to his senses and swallowed hard.

"Are you not afraid of dying?" Ye Fan spoke, striding towards Taihu.

"Plunk—"

Seeing Ye Fan approach, Taihu fell to his knees from fright, pleading like a dog, "Ye... Mr. Ye, spare my life, I was coerced!"

"Continue."

Ye Fan halted, looking down at Taihu from above.

"It was Young Master Qinghong, Chen Feilian, who forced me to do this!"

With his life hanging in the balance, Taihu no longer had time to consider the consequences of betraying Chen Feilian and blurted out the truth.

Just like when he was threatened by Chen Feilian, he didn’t consider the consequences of betraying Ye Fan at all. Instead, to temporarily save his own life, he chose to become a pawn for Chen Feilian.

Drink to one’s content when there’s wine.

He was a typical pragmatist!

"Chen Feilian?"

Hearing this name, Ye Fan’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his expression instantly became somewhat solemn, "What exactly happened?"

"The day before yesterday, he suddenly sneaked into the manor, threatening me with death, and made me reveal the inside story of the chaos stabilization in the Southeast Asian Underworld. To save my life, I could only tell him the truth... then... then, he let someone spread the news..." Taihu said honestly, looking at Ye Fan with eager eyes, hoping Ye Fan would let him go.

Ye Fan interrupted Taihu coldly and asked, "Chen Feilian is in the manor?"

"Yes."

Taihu did not dare to hide anything and told the truth.

Whoosh!

Ye Fan’s complexion couldn’t help changing!

Because his enmity with Qinghong had become so deep that it had reached a point of life and death, he had thoroughly learned about the Qinghong Organization.

According to the information provided by Chu Ji, he learned that the Qinghong Organization’s behind-the-scenes powerholder, Chen Daozang, was currently in seclusion, and all of Qinghong’s affairs were managed by Chen Feilian.

In addition, Ye Fan also found out that Chen Feilian was known as the most demonically talented genius in the Cultivation World, who had stepped into the Half-step Gang Qi realm two years earlier, with unfathomable strength!

Under such circumstances, Ye Fan learned from Taihu that not only had Chen Daozang sneaked into Southeast Asia to deal with him and his father, but he was also now in the manor!

A trap!

Almost instantly, Ye Fan realized this was a trap, and he had walked right into it!

As if to confirm Ye Fan’s judgment, three terrifying presences suddenly appeared within the villa courtyard!

With just one sensing, Ye Fan discovered that two of the presences were not any weaker than Murong Gu, who was killed by Ye Wenhao’s use of the mysterious martial art "Burning Nine Heavens," and the other presence, while not as strong as Murong Gu, was also stronger than Wudang’s lead disciple Xu Longxiang and Hunter from the Dark Council, one of the four princes who was killed a few days ago.

And Hunter was considered the absolute ruler among the Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artists, known as an invincible existence within the same realm!

Three Half-step Gang Qi realm masters?!

After judging the strength of the three individuals by their presences, even Ye Fan, who had experienced many storms and had a heart as steadfast as a rock, was shocked and his face underwent a drastic change!

Although he suspected that Chen Feilian could not possibly have come to the Southeast Asia Special Zone alone, he could never have dreamed that those accompanying Chen Feilian were actually three Half-step Gang Qi realm masters!

Not only Ye Fan was shocked, but Taihu, too, was scared to collapse on the ground.

Although he had become one of Chen Feilian’s pawns, he was unaware of Chen Feilian’s cooperation with the three major forces and the plan to deal with Ye Wenhao and son Ye Fan by borrowing the hands of the three forces, nor did he know that the three forces had sent Half-step Gang Qi masters to Southeast Asia!

"Huff~"

After the shock, Ye Fan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"No, that’s not right!"

"If Chen Feilian was only dealing with me, there was no need to send out three Half-step Gang Qi masters. He wants to completely wipe out both me and my father!"

After calming down, with a bit of thought, Ye Fan guessed Chen Feilian’s intention.

This time.

Ye Fan was no longer shocked or blinded by rage!

His mind was clearer than it had ever been.

Without hesitation, he took out his phone, seemingly intending to make a call.

Huh?

Seeing this scene, Taihu came back to his senses from his shock, filled with curiosity!

In his view, the most pressing matter for Ye Fan should be to find a way to escape immediately, not to make a phone call.

After all, even if Ye Fan called for help at this moment, it would be too late - distant water can’t put out a nearby fire!

Out of curiosity, Taihu also felt somewhat eager to know: who was he going to call?

As if to answer Taihu, as soon as Ye Fan took out his phone, he immediately found Ye Wenhao’s number in the recent call list and pressed the dial button.

All this because he believed that Chen Feilian would most likely use his being caught in the trap to lure out his father, Ye Wenhao!

As such, he must tell Ye Wenhao about this conspiracy to prevent his father from taking the risk!

Because, in his view, even if Ye Wenhao knew that astonishing heaven-and-earth moving martial skill, he was definitely not a match for the four Half-step Gang Qi masters, including Chen Feilian — Ye Wenhao coming over would be tantamount to sending himself to death!

However—

Unexpectedly to Ye Fan, the phone call couldn’t go through!

The signal in the villa had been blocked!!
