Chapter 768: Chapter 740: Catherine’s News

Having resolved the matter here, Li Chen smiled and nodded, then turned to Yu Yueying, "The issue is resolved, I’m leaving this kid in your hands."

"How old are you yourself?" Yu Yueying rolled her eyes, clearly dissatisfied with Li Chen’s pretentious air.

"Hahaha!"

Feeling cheerful, Li Chen reached out and patted Yu Yueying on the head, then immediately turned and left the police station before Yu Yueying could lose her temper.

Upon returning to the villa and seeing Wang Qianqian and Lin Xiaoxiao still practicing, a smile also appeared on Li Chen’s face.

It seemed that they were truly determined to learn martial arts.

In Li Chen’s view, this was good, girls should have some ability to protect themselves. That way, they wouldn’t be afraid of any troublemakers when they are outside.

Besides, Li Chen also felt that the world seemed to have become somewhat chaotic.

Although Li Chen hadn’t sensed anything concrete, the frequent opening of relics and visitors from the Holy Mountain were quite telling.

Moreover, the appearances of Jiang Bingyu and Yao Chou, Li Chen believed, were definitely not coincidental.

People like Jiang Bingyu and Yao Chou were individuals Li Chen had never encountered before. Yet, what was the reason that such high-caliber individuals started appearing frequently?

Li Chen didn’t know, but all he could do was to strive to enhance his own strength, so he could be well-prepared for the looming crisis.

"So next, I should prepare to thoroughly explore the relic," said Li Chen, his expression turning grave.

An Qin hadn’t left any particularly detailed messages, but Li Chen could discern from these messages that perhaps, just perhaps, there truly was a shocking secret hidden within that relic.

And this secret, might really... involve him!

Additionally, was the relic truly so deep and dark? Then, how could the four grandfathers have stayed inside that relic for such a long time?

Every sign indicated that the relic was definitely not as simple as it seemed!

While Li Chen was pondering, he suddenly received a message.

Looking at the message, Li Chen’s face abruptly changed.

After a moment of thought, Li Chen immediately called Alice.

"Is the message real?" Li Chen asked.

"Yes." Alice, seemingly busy with urgent work, was on the other end; even her breathing seemed hurried, which Li Chen could discern.

"The signal we detected comes from North America. However, the source seems very weak, so I am currently searching. I believe it won’t be long before we find the exact location of where the message originated."

"Good!" Li Chen nodded gravely, "Make sure to find it!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen went straight to the company.

"Hmm? Why are you here?" Lin Yi looked up, curiously eyeing Li Chen, who had suddenly appeared in the office, and couldn’t help asking.

"I remember, isn’t your lab supposed to be on holiday these days?" Lin Yi asked with a smile on his face.

Li Chen thought for a moment, then closed the door with his hand.

"Honey, there’s something I need to take care of, I might be gone for a few days," Li Chen said.

"What is it?"

"One of my subordinates sent a distress signal, and I need to go rescue her. These people have been with me for many years, I can’t abandon any of them," Li Chen explained.

"Is it dangerous?" Lin Yi’s expression also changed, she didn’t care about other things, what she cared about was Li Chen’s safety.

Although it might sound a bit selfish, she truly thought that way.

A smile appeared on Li Chen’s face as he approached Lin Yi, comforting her, "Don’t worry, there are not many in this world who can threaten your husband anymore."

"Wife, I’ve told you already. If I ever have to leave for something, unless it’s urgent, I will definitely discuss it with you first," Li Chen said earnestly.

"For something like this, couldn’t you have just called?" Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.

"That wouldn’t do!" Li Chen shook his head and smiled, then kissed her beautiful face: "I might not see my dear wife for several days, so of course I had to come in person."

"Fool!" Lin Yi spat.

After leaving the company, Li Chen’s expression became somewhat solemn as he headed straight for the lab in the suburbs.

The Nether Army generals were mostly staying there because it was in the wilderness. They could practice without restraint, much better than in the city.

However, when Li Chen arrived at the lab, a group of people was sitting together with serious expressions, seemingly without any intention to practice.

"King of the Netherworld!"

"King of the Netherworld! ..."

Upon seeing Li Chen arrive, the group quickly stood up.

"What are you all doing?" Seeing their expressions, Li Chen’s face turned stern and he coldly said: "Why are you all standing around not practicing?

"But, Catherine..." Zu Gu couldn’t help but speak up.

"Catherine is fine!" Li Chen cut off Zu Gu abruptly, saying, "If Catherine could send a signal asking for help, it means she must be fine!"

Catherine, one of the three envoys of the Palace of the Nether King.

Compared to the other two envoys, Catherine’s combat power is not high, even quite weak.

But in Li Chen’s absence, Catherine is the brain of the Palace of the Nether King, the Wise General who truly leads!

Especially since Li Chen liked to run around aimlessly, most of the time, it was Catherine who gave the orders in the Palace of the Nether King.

Moreover, Catherine always interacted with everyone in a very calm manner and got along with anyone, making her the most trustworthy presence in the Palace of the Nether King next to Li Chen.

However, since the last trip to North America, Catherine mysteriously disappeared, and no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find her.

At first, everyone thought she was hiding, and hiding quite well, so even her own people couldn’t contact her.

But then, everyone realized something was wrong.

The hiding had lasted too long, hadn’t it?

Everyone had been waiting, waiting for news from Catherine.

And today, they finally got it.

What relieved everyone was that Catherine was indeed still alive.

Only, the message she had sent was a call for help.

This made all the Nether Army’s senior members, who had good relations with Catherine, become anxious.

"I know what you are thinking, but now, let’s all calm down," Li Chen sighed softly upon seeing their expressions.

At that moment, the lab’s main door suddenly opened, and Alice walked out holding a laptop.

"Found it!"
