Chapter 482: Chapter 455: You, at Least Let Me Finish Talking

"What? You’re saying Li Chen has come to Europe?"

Inside the Apollo Family, the squabbling had just subsided when they heard a servant report.

The middle-aged man from before furrowed his brows, and the elder asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

The servant nodded, "Our people saw him coming off the plane, and he’s currently staying at the Feili Hotel."

"A good opportunity!"

The cold light in that middle-aged man’s eyes flickered as he stood up, his face filled with killing intent.

"Sit down first."

Another middle-aged man spoke, "Calm down. You know the strength of the King of the Netherworld, and behind him stands the Palace of the Nether King. It’s a case of ’pull one hair and move the whole body’, and besides, the Holy Mountain will take action. He doesn’t need us to make a move."

"What’s most important is to figure out why he came to Europe," someone said indifferently.

The elder nodded, "Right, that’s the key."

"I have already found out the reason." Just then, a voice came from outside. Everyone looked over to see a handsome man who bore a strong resemblance to Apollo enter and bow to them.

"Allen, what’s going on?" Everyone was looking at him.

Allen, Apollo’s brother, nearly went mad with the news of Li Chen having slain Apollo. He had such a close relationship with his brother, they would almost always sleep together at night. How could he have died so easily?

Therefore, he had to avenge his brother. No matter what, he had to kill Li Chen.

"Because he needs the Void Flower," Allen said, "and this Void Flower is currently in Britain."

The Void Flower?

Everyone present was shocked, and the elder asked in a grave voice, "What does he want with it?"

"To save someone," Allen replied in his usual unhurried manner, yet between his handsome brows, a hint of killing intent surfaced. "This is an opportunity."

The others looked at each other, but no one spoke.

...

The next day, Li Chen opened his eyes, dressed, and stood in his room. "Come out," he said flatly.

"At your service, Master."

Suddenly, several masters leaped in through the window, and at the same time, the door was opened by members of The Dark Division dressed as hotel staff.

These were the members of The Dark Division in Europe.

"Have you found the things I asked you to look for?"

"Master, we have some results," they replied.

Then, one of them handed over a photograph.

"We’ve found out that in an exhibition hall in London, this displayed flower might be the Void Flower, but we cannot be certain," they explained.

Li Chen glanced at the photograph. The Void Flower in the picture was stunningly beautiful; even in death, its white petals emanated a strange blue light, as if the glow originated from the void itself.

Moreover, the Void Flower had five petals, and at its center was a bud, as if not yet fully bloomed. Even so, the allure of the Void Flower was enough to captivate, and if it were to blossom, it would surely be even more breathtaking.

"Let’s go."

Without wasting words, Li Chen immediately led his subordinates towards the exhibition hall.

It was a race against time. Every minute he delayed, Wang Qianqian’s danger increased by a minute.

The exhibition hall wasn’t far away, and with his subordinates guiding him, Li Chen soon arrived. However, after searching the entire exhibition hall, he couldn’t find the Void Flower from the photograph.

"Sir, do you need a guide?" A very beautiful woman approached with a smile.

"Where’s your curator?"

Li Chen’s expression wasn’t very good. When the woman called for the curator and he arrived, Li Chen showed him the photograph.

"Oh, this flower," said the curator, pushing up his glasses. "I don’t know why, but the flower’s original owner came to the exhibition hall this morning and took it back."

"Who is the original owner?" Li Chen’s heart stirred, and his eyes lit up. Knowing the owner of the Void Flower would make things easier; he could simply buy it.

Money? He didn’t care. No matter how unique the Void Flower was, the wealth of the Palace of the Nether King could afford it.

"That, I don’t know," the curator shook his head. "When the flower was placed here for exhibition, the original owner didn’t provide a name."

"Is there no way to find their information?" Li Chen asked.

The curator shook his head, "It’s impossible. We have very good confidentiality measures in place. If the donors of the exhibits don’t wish to disclose their information, we wouldn’t know either.

Li Chen frowned, then nodded at the curator.

Leaving with his subordinates, Li Chen’s expression was extremely grim.

"Keep looking for me, we must find out who the original owner of this flower is!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates disbanded.

Li Chen stood at the entrance to the exhibition, feeling upset. If he had arrived earlier, perhaps the flower would not have been taken.

As he walked outside, it was at this moment that he saw a Caucasian man bothering a young Asian girl in the distance.

"Let go of me!"

Ding Xiaoke felt really annoyed by the persistent Adam before her. She’d clearly refused him already, yet he still wouldn’t give up.

"Ding Xiaoke," Adam said, his eyes showing a fierce light, "I’ve been chasing after you for so long, you should agree by now. Don’t throw away the face I’m giving you!"

Ever since Ding Xiaoke transferred to the school, Adam had noticed this beautiful Chinese girl and swore he would get her, but contrary to his expectations, Ding Xiaoke wouldn’t even give him the time of day. Nearly a whole term had passed, and she still completely ignored him.

"Didn’t I reject you the first time? Why are you still harassing me?" Ding Xiaoke was also extremely angry. "Do you know what you’re like? You’re like clingfilm that won’t come off no matter how much you try to shake it."

"Bitch! Don’t be ungrateful; I’m telling you now, if you don’t agree today, I’m going to drag you to a hotel and r*pe you!" Adam snarled and even grabbed Ding Xiaoke’s hand, trying to drag her away.

"Let go!"

Ding Xiaoke tried to shake off Adam’s hand, but his strength was simply too great for her to escape.

"You still want to struggle? I’ll tell you, it’s useless no matter how much you try." Adam was enraged. "Today I’m going to r*pe you."

Ding Xiaoke was panicking and glanced around, then saw Li Chen walking toward them, her eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Let go of me!"

Ding Xiaoke lifted her right foot and kicked ferociously towards Adam’s sensitive area. Although she didn’t hit the mark, the pain made Adam release her.

Instantly, Ding Xiaoke ran toward Li Chen.

"You whore! Don’t think you can run!" Adam shouted furiously and pursued her.

Li Chen had noticed the situation but had no intention of intervening. His mind was wholly occupied with thoughts of the Void Flower; he had no time to get involved in other matters.

"Save me, please, I’m begging you."

However, when Ding Xiaoke spoke, it was in pure Huaxia language, which made Li Chen pause, his footsteps halting as he looked at Ding Xiaoke running towards him.

Seeing a ray of hope, Ding Xiaoke rushed over and grabbed onto Li Chen’s sleeve. "Please help me, that man behind keeps bothering me, and he said he wants to r*pe me. Can you help me?"

Ding Xiaoke didn’t know why she chose to ask Li Chen for help, but just looking at him gave her an inexplicable sense of steadiness and safety.

Before Li Chen could speak, Adam cursed as he came over. "You bitch, what’s it, calling for help now? I’ll tell you, it’s no use whoever you call today."

Ding Xiaoke fearfully glanced at Adam and then hid behind Li Chen.

"You, get the hell out of here!" Adam extended his hand, pointing at Li Chen, his words filled with arrogance. "I’m telling you, no one better try to stop me from getting the woman I’ve set my eyes on."

Li Chen frowned. He had no liking for this type of person who only knew how to force themselves on women. This kind of trash existed everywhere, both at home and abroad.

"It’s you who should get lost." Li Chen frowned. He was already annoyed and was in no mood to tolerate any bullshit.

"Yah, you’ve got some guts, kid. You didn’t ask around about me, Adam..." Adam was about to boast pompously, but suddenly, a crisp slap cut him off.

*Slap*

Adam was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Chen with disbelief in his eyes. He touched his cheek, feeling it burning hot.

Ding Xiaoke, hiding behind Li Chen, saw Adam’s angry look and felt scared again, concerned that involving Li Chen might have bad consequences.

As Adam collected himself, his face twisted in rage. "You f*cker, you actually dared to hit me?"

"I..."

Adam was about to spit venom when suddenly, another slap came his way. This time, the tremendous force spun Adam around on the spot, and he was left disoriented.

Ding Xiaoke watched open-mouthed in astonishment, while Li Chen still looked calmly at Adam, having no interest in wasting words with a fool.

Adam, shaking, extended his hand. "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a massive blow came flying towards him, spinning Adam in a 360-degree spiral and knocking him to the ground.

Li Chen looked down at Adam moaning on the ground, snorted coldly, and then turned and walked away.

Ding Xiaoke was stunned for a moment, watching Li Chen leave with an expression of admiration. How impressive.

On the ground, Adam was full of pain and, seeing Li Chen walk away, roared, "You... if you’re so capable, let me finish my sentence!"

Ding Xiaoke looked down at the groaning Adam, snorted, and kicked him again before leaving triumphantly.

Li Chen did not dwell on the minor incident. After returning to the hotel, he sighed.

He wondered what would become of this trip to Europe.

Turning on his computer, Li Chen thought for a moment, then initiated a video call with Lin Yi.

Before long, Lin Yi’s face appeared on the video.
