Chapter 802: Chapter 774: Borrowing a Person

Although they were sitting together for a meal, the atmosphere among them was somewhat strange.

Li Chen, with a pained expression, looked at the two uninvited fellows, seeing the great time he could have had dining with two beautiful women interrupted by these guys.

However, at the same time, Li Chen also felt a slight relief in his heart.

He could somewhat discern the thoughts of the two girls, but as for him right now, he indeed did not have too much time to think about those things.

"King of the..."

"Cough cough!" Just as Xia Feng started to speak, Li Chen coughed violently twice, and immediately, Xia Feng realized and quickly changed the topic: "It looks like it’s going to rain tomorrow, how about we find a place to talk business today?"

"Mhm." Li Chen nodded: "Just as well, I’ve pretty much finished handling my matters here, so let’s have a chat later."

"Brother Li Chen, have some vegetables!" Jiang Xiaoyue, sitting beside Li Chen, proactively picked up some vegetables for him with her chopsticks.

"Brother Cheen, you’ve just defeated so many people, you must be tired, eat more." Sitting on the other side of Li Chen, Zhang Yuwei also reacted and hastily started to pick up vegetables for Li Chen.

This scene was witnessed by Xia Feng and the man sitting opposite him, and they couldn’t help but have strange expressions on their faces.

Why don’t they get treated this nicely?

And even more melancholy were the two bodyguards sitting not far from Jiang Xiaoyue, who had protected Jiang Xiaoyue for such a long time and had never seen her be so kind to anyone.

"Sigh..."

Four men simultaneously let out a sigh in their hearts.

When goods are compared, they are thrown away; when people are compared, they are driven to despair!

And the two girls also seemed to be engaged in some sort of battle, from time to time adding vegetables to Li Chen’s bowl, and the occasional eye contact seemed as if sparks could fly.

Li Chen, of course, noticed everyone’s reactions and couldn’t help but shake his head secretly.

A meal was finished in such an odd atmosphere.

However, it seemed that except for Li Chen, the others were not very satisfied with this meal.

"Xiaoyue, Yuwei, I have some other matters to attend to, you guys go back to the company first. I’ll come and find you once I’ve finished my business, how does that sound?" Li Chen turned to the two girls beside him and couldn’t help but say.

"Alright." The two girls obediently nodded their heads, they also understood that Li Chen must be no ordinary person; if he said he had matters to attend to, they were certainly important ones.

The smartest thing a woman can do is not to add pressure to a man when he’s troubled, and clearly, both girls understood this point. They waved at Li Chen and then headed back to the company together.

Watching the two girls leave, Li Chen also quietly let out a sigh.

"Quite the pressure, huh?" At this moment, Xia Feng who was standing beside Li Chen suddenly spoke up.

"Yeah... huh? By the way, what are you guys from Dragon Soul doing here?" Li Chen looked at Xia Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Alright then." Hearing Li Chen’s question, Xia Feng shrugged and said: "Now, please allow me to introduce myself again, my name is Xia Feng, I’m the captain of the second squad of the first brigade of Dragon Soul, and also the logistics chief, this is my deputy, Doon Yun." He said, pointing to the man beside him.

"Another Chief of Logistics now? What exactly are you here for? Spit it out, I’m in a hurry," Li Chen said with a bit of a toothache look as he turned to this fellow who didn’t seem at all serious.

"King of the Netherworld, actually, our visit this time is to seek your assistance on behalf of Dragon Soul," Xia Feng said with a sincere face.

"Assistance?" Li Chen was stunned, "You mean, Dragon Soul needs my help with something?"

"Let’s talk somewhere else," Xia Feng nodded his head and then said in a deep voice.

The three of them found a quiet teahouse and sat in a private room with excellent soundproofing before Xia Feng slowly laid out the situation.

"You mean, a bunch of unidentified masters have popped up out of nowhere in Huaxia, and their identities are all unclear?" Li Chen frowned upon hearing Xia Feng’s account.

"That’s right," Xia Feng nodded helplessly, "Although Dragon Soul has recruited many talents, after all, it’s just an organized group, and it’s difficult to cover the whole Country.

"Although the organization has started training newcomers again, they’re still too green compared to veterans," Xia Feng said with a somewhat grim expression.

Recently Dragon Soul indeed captured many violent masters, but there were also casualties, and they have lost quite a number of people. Now, the staffing in the Dragon Soul organization was extremely tight.

"What you’re saying is, you two came here to borrow people?" Li Chen looked at the two with a queer expression on his face.

"You could say that," Xia Feng’s expression also turned a bit awkward. The Dragon Soul organization, a proud national department, was actually coming to a former mercenary leader to borrow people, which indeed sounded rather embarrassing when put into words.

However, given the current situation in Huaxia, they couldn’t afford to care about that now.

Li Chen frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t your military squads also have plenty of masters? Why come to me to borrow people? I still don’t quite understand."

It was at this point that Doon Yun, who had been mostly silent, finally spoke up: "Your Excellency King of the Netherworld, you might not be aware. Although Dragon Soul is a national department, it operates completely separately from the military."

"And yes, there are indeed many masters in the military, but those masters are absolutely obedient soldiers. Well, they sure have strength, but when it comes to ingenuity and resourcefulness, they fall short compared to your men," Doon Yun shook his head and said.

"Don’t bother sugarcoating it," Li Chen said with a look of annoyance, "I know what you’re implying is that my men are riff-raff, but it’s precisely because of this that they’ve managed to survive until today."

"Real heroes, their ashes are scattered who knows where by now," Li Chen’s face showed a hint of melancholy.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, both Xia Feng and Doon Yun fell silent.

Because they were well aware that what Li Chen said was true. Thus, the people they needed for this mission were not heroes, but those who could truly make a difference and had strong survival skills.

In this regard, no one was more suitable than Li Chen’s Nether Army.

"I can agree to help you bring a group of people from overseas," Li Chen said after thinking for a moment.

Joy appeared on both of their faces.

"But as a condition, you also need to help me find something!" Li Chen said gravely.

"The Purple Sunflower, right?" Before Li Chen could speak, Xia Feng proactively smiled and said, "Dr. Ouyang has already told us about this."

"Moreover, we’ve also found out that the Purple Sunflower is right here in Silver Sun City!"

Hearing this, Li Chen’s eyebrows twitched.
