Chapter 249: Chapter 227: Reorganizing the Palace of the Nether King

Li Chen returned to the island, and the other members of the Palace of the Nether King dealt with the remaining soldiers on the island, while the facilities Ghost King had left on the island were completely destroyed.

Looking at his subordinates gathered in front of him, Li Chen couldn’t help but smile.

"Let’s go back!"

"Yes!"

The crowd roared in agreement.

...

After leaving the island, Li Chen led his men back to Vancouver.

"Army Breaker, go and have the others gather later, at our previous villa," Li Chen told Army Breaker.

Chu Pojun nodded.

"You guys go take a rest first, then come over later," Li Chen said to Quentin and the others.

Then, Li Chen went back to the room with Alice.

Upon entering the room, Alice immediately threw herself into Li Chen’s arms, her face wet with tears.

"Li Chen, I thought I’d never see you again."

Li Chen felt a bit helpless and comforted her by patting her on the back before saying, "It’s all right now."

Alice stepped out of Li Chen’s embrace, and he asked her to sit down.

"What happened that day?" Li Chen asked.

"I’m not quite sure," Alice shook her head, "After you left, I was managing the base and the labs. Catherine and the others were taking care of the Palace of the Nether King, so I didn’t intervene."

"But a few days ago, they sent a message from the Palace of the Nether King saying they were under attack and didn’t have enough guards, so I sent some people over. However, I didn’t expect that after reducing the staff here at the lab, Shadow led an attack on us."

Listening to Alice’s description, Li Chen guessed that there must have been a mole from Shadow inside the lab, but it didn’t matter anymore because now, Shadow was dead, and those in the Palace of the Nether King who wanted to rebel and follow Ghost King had left. Those who remained were loyal to him.

"The secret base and lab I was responsible for have been destroyed, nothing is left, and then I was captured by Shadow and taken to that island we were just on," Alice said, "I thought I would never see you again."

Having understood the general situation, Li Chen nodded, "It’s okay now, I killed Shadow, so now there’s only Ghost King left."

After comforting her further, Alice’s mood improved, and she smiled slightly at Li Chen, "Still, I knew you wouldn’t abandon me. Once all this is resolved, how about I introduce you to my sister?"

As she spoke, Alice thrust out her chest, and suddenly her large breasts jiggled tremendously.

Alice’s bosom was truly enormous, reaching a G-cup, much larger than Lin Yi and the others’, and looked extremely exaggerated.

Li Chen shook his head; Alice’s personality was indeed very bold.

"Alright, you go rest too. Being confined for so long must have been tiring," Li Chen said.

"Don’t, Li Chen, if you want, I can keep you company too, both my sister and I can serve just you," Alice said, with a seductive look in her eyes.

Honestly, Alice actually liked Li Chen. Ever since Li Chen had saved Alice, she had fallen for him and would often flirt with him, although Li Chen remained unmoved.

After all, Alice was still his subordinate.

After sending Alice away, Li Chen reviewed the current situation. The Palace of the Nether King could be said to have fallen into disrepair and existed in name only. Of the traitorous Shadow and Ghost King, only the Ghost King remained.

The urgent priority was to first rebuild the Palace of the Nether King, sort out all relationships and institutions, as well as clear up internal staff positions, and at the same time, make every effort to locate Ghost King’s whereabouts.

Before long, Ning Wangyang and Ye Tu, among others, all arrived at the safe house.

With everyone seated together, Li Chen first asked them to report on the situation.

"The old members have been nearly all gathered," Ye Tu said, "Most of the former people of the Palace of the Nether King are willing to come back, but some, seeing the Palace’s decline, have no intention of showing up; I’ve directly excluded those people."

Li Chen nodded, and Catherine also added, "Most institutions of the former Palace have collapsed. Those responsible are either dead or have fled, and not many can still function."

Matthew said, "Martin and I are currently integrating the former Nether Army. The numbers aren’t very large. Apart from those who died in the battle that day, only about one-third of the original number remains."

Quentin also nodded; the few commanders now really didn’t have many people under their command.

On Nether Wolf’s side, they were training new members of the Nether Army. Nether Princess had it best; her forces were the most intact, though they too had lessened significantly.

Zu Gu and a few Battle Generals—those under them had mostly died. William was a bit better off, with the most people, but Zu Gu and Chu Pojun had basically lost all their men.

Li Chen furrowed his brows, not expecting the situation to be so severe, and with Shadow’s death, her former members of The Dark Division had scattered, with very few still together. He directly controlled only about twenty or so people.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chen said, "Alice, step down from Battle General and take over The Dark Division, from now on you’ll be solely responsible for the intelligence work of the Palace of the Nether King."

Alice nodded; intelligence was actually a very important part of an organization, acting as the organization’s eyes and ears. If the Palace of the Nether King had known earlier about Ghost King’s attack, the outcome could have definitely been different.

Moreover, Alice was absolutely trustworthy. Entrusting The Dark Division to her posed no issue.

Li Chen continued, "Catherine will still be in charge of the major and minor affairs of the Palace of the Nether King. The status of the Mysteriously Three will remain unchanged. Regarding the Five Commanders, we will recruit one from among the lower ranks later; that matter I’ll leave to you all to handle."

Nether Princess and the others nodded.

"Regarding the Eight War Generals," Li Chen paused, "establish four Battle Halls: Azure Dragon Hall, White Tiger Hall, Vermilion Bird Hall, Xuanwu Hall; two Battle Generals will be responsible for each. Army Breaker, you take charge of this, and also, selecting the personnel for the Eight War Generals will be your responsibility."

Army Breaker nodded. The Eight War Generals now numbered less than half, especially after Alice took over The Dark Division, only three remained.

"Also, establish Punishment Hall to manage the internal order and rules of the Palace of the Nether King. This position will temporarily still be held by Army Breaker."

"Ye Tu, you take charge of setting up departments and bases of the Palace of the Nether King. Many hares have three burrows; the selection of responsible persons will also be your duty. Make sure to restore the Palace of the Nether King to its former size. Additionally, I’ll set up another external hall; it won’t be part of the internal personnel, but you can have the person in charge join the external hall."

Ye Tu nodded. Following this, Li Chen turned to look at Ning Wangyang, only to find that Wangyang, holding his sword, was nodding off.

With a sense of resignation, Li Chen said, "Wangyang, you’d better go back to sword practice."

After laying out most of the tasks, a spark of determination flashed in Li Chen’s eyes. "Additionally, make every effort to locate Ghost King’s whereabouts."
