Chapter 184: Chapter 183 [Establishing One’s Own Influence]

The appearance of Wuxue left Ye Tianchen somewhat puzzled. There wasn’t much communication between him and Wuxue, and the reason he hadn’t killed Wuxue back then was merely out of admiration for Wuxue’s character and skill. Now Wuxue had come to him to report that Xuanyuan Teng had taken a charter flight back to Capital City overnight, which was clearly to eliminate Ye Tianchen. The Young Master Xuanyuan had always been domineering and couldn’t swallow his pride.

Ye Tianchen’s attitude truly surprised Wuxue and he admired it as well. Characters like Qin Heng, Luo Lei, and Luo Tao had formidable family forces that were visible and somewhat manageable, but Xuanyuan Teng was different. Being from a Hidden Family, the very meaning of ’hidden’ implied that they had not been active in society for many years, or very few people knew about them. The strength of unknown forces like this was often frightening, and when they revealed themselves once more, they proved to be terrifyingly powerful.

Therefore, the dangerousness of Xuanyuan Teng was beyond that of people like Qin Heng. Yet, Ye Tianchen remained calm and composed, which Wuxue had not expected.

"You are very strong, but if you treat the Xuanyuan family the same as you would the Qin family and the Luo family, then you are making a mistake!" Wuxue said, glancing at Ye Tianchen.

"In my eyes, Ye Tianchen’s eyes, there is no right or wrong, only fists. If you’re right, I’ll yield to you. If you’re not, I’ll fight you. It’s quite simple!"

After speaking, Ye Tianchen turned and left without a backward glance, leaving Wuxue stunned. No regard for reason, no regard for who you are, if you dare come looking for trouble, a punch is what you’ll get. What boldness — even I, the number one assassin of Kyoto, must admire it.

"Big brother!"

Suddenly, Wuxue knelt on one knee, bowing deeply towards Ye Tianchen’s retreating figure with utmost seriousness. This made Ye Tianchen turn around, bewildered, and he couldn’t help wondering what was going on.

"What do you mean by this, kid?" Ye Tianchen asked with a smile.

"I want to follow big brother and help carve out a piece of the world together!" Wuxue looked earnestly at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.

"Carve out a piece of the world? I don’t have such grand ambitions. I just want to live a peaceful, quiet life with my family," Ye Tianchen said, visibly moved, yet he still spoke calmly to Wuxue.

"Big brother, with all due respect, you have already become a figure of great interest in Capital City. All the major forces are watching you. To be honest, even if you want a quiet life, you won’t get it, because they will not let you be. Their overbearing behavior cannot tolerate any challenges..." Wuxue frowned, gazing intently into Ye Tianchen’s eyes as he spoke.

In fact, the day Hu Long decided to follow him, Ye Tianchen had already considered establishing his own force. After returning to Capital City and desiring a peaceful life, he realized it was impossible. With so many arrogant forces and families, each wanting to suppress the Ye family and see Ye Tianchen dead, he had to fight back decisively. Only by subduing these domineering forces could he protect his family and parents as well as his sister.

In the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen, as a figure of Divine-level superpower realm, had led a life filled with battles and slaughter. Reborn in this life, although he wished for peace and tranquility, it didn’t mean that he, Ye Tianchen, had become weak or that he could be easily bullied. Since some have chosen to provoke him, he wouldn’t hesitate to use his fists. After all, adding a bit of fun and excitement to an otherwise dull life wasn’t bad — one couldn’t let these fists go to waste.

Thus, the idea of establishing his own force was not new to Ye Tianchen. Now that all the major forces were eyeing him, and he had discovered many interesting things such as the Ancient Martial Sects and Superpower User organizations, he knew he would have to deal with many forces. He couldn’t personally take care of everything; that would be exhausting.

However, establishing his own force was no easy task. To have a group of strong, loyal brothers was even harder. Ye Tianchen thought that if he was to build a force, his subordinates must be top-notch experts. Quality mattered more than quantity. Besides their skill, they needed organizational discipline and absolute obedience to commands. And importantly, they must not be the type to senselessly commit evil acts.

"Big brother, ever since our fight, I’ve wanted to follow you. I know you have ambition and the capability. Wuxue lives not for anything else but to make a name for himself and to do something meaningful. I became an assassin out of necessity, not by choice," Wuxue hurriedly continued as he saw Ye Tianchen hesitating.

"Do you really want to mix with me? Right now, I’m all alone, with enemies everywhere. The Ye family doesn’t have much of a force. I might not get very far before I meet my end, and you could end up the same!" Ye Tianchen asked, looking at Wuxue with a smile.

"As Kyoto’s number one assassin, death is not so fearful to me, Wuxue. What’s dreadful is a lack of passionate and thrilling battles," Wuxue said firmly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

To be honest, Ye Tianchen was indeed tempted to establish his own force, to give these so-called major powers and families a good challenge, lest they really think the Ye family easy to bully. When it came to potential allies, Wuxue was certainly a candidate, with his clever mind, exceptional skill, and most importantly, his principled way of doing things — Ye Tianchen liked people with principles.

"Then, how about we make a bet?" Ye Tianchen suddenly asked with a playful smile.

"A bet? What bet?" Wuxue asked in confusion.

"If within three months, you can gather a group of decent fighters, I will take you on as my little brother and let you join me in conquering the world. If you can’t, then I don’t want to see you around me anymore!" Ye Tianchen said with a slight smile on his face.

Wuxue was stunned for a moment. Although he was very happy in his heart because he firmly believed that if Ye Tianchen made a move, he would surely be able to establish a massive force that would deter those large families and powers, so they would no longer be so arrogant. That would be really fun. However, Ye Tianchen’s request for him to gather a group of decent experts within three months was truly challenging. In today’s society, despite the existence of many hidden experts, such as the high-level figures from Ancient Martial Sects and strong members of the Superpower World, it was not easy to persuade these people to join.

"What do you think? Can you do it?" Ye Tianchen asked.

"No problem, Big Brother. But I have to tell you something upfront: if one day you’re not as good as me, I, Wuxue, will leave, or even kill you!" Wuxue said assertively, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"Good, I like your spirit, but I won’t let that day come!" Ye Tianchen laughed heartily.

"Big Brother!" Wuxue also laughed and said.

"Good brother!"

Ye Tianchen patted Wuxue’s shoulder. Having Wuxue’s assistance made him very happy. Establishing his own force was an unstoppable trend. The forces opposing Ye Tianchen were growing more numerous. No matter how powerful he was on his own, it was impossible to handle everything. At times like these, he needed a group of loyal brothers to follow him and handle affairs for him.

After waiting for over half an hour at the entrance of Kyoto Hospital, Ling Yuxun and Xiao Ya finally saw Ye Tianchen coming from the side of a small park. Ling Yuxun checked her watch; it was almost one o’clock. Her little face frowned, and she gave Ye Tianchen a severe look, asking, "Where did you go that took so long?"

"To take a piss!" Ye Tianchen said with a naughty smile.

"You... disgusting, filthy!" Ling Yuxun cursed angrily.

Ye Tianchen walked ahead, laughing heartily, while Ling Yuxun stared at him contemptuously, clenching her fists tightly, wishing she could punch Ye Tianchen to death. Xiao Ya, however, was feeling complicated. At this moment, she was still pondering her mother’s words, looking at Ye Tianchen’s somewhat scoundrel-like figure, unsure about what she felt in her heart—whether it was a liking for Ye Tianchen, falling in love with him, or...

After lunch, Ye Tianchen and Xiao Ya took Ling Yuxun’s sports car to Longteng University. At that time, at the entrance of Longteng University, someone was already waiting to publicly humiliate Ye Tianchen, and even to kill him.

When Ling Yuxun’s sports car stopped at the entrance of Longteng University, immediately, more than a dozen men in black suits surrounded the car. Ling Yuxun frowned slightly; her Ling family had some influence, and they shouldn’t be bullied so easily.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Ling Yuxun asked sternly.

"Miss Ling, we don’t want to make things difficult for you. The person we’re looking for is Ye Tianchen!" said one of the men in black suits, coldly looking at Ye Tianchen.

"He’s my friend. If you have an issue, you can talk to me!" Ling Yuxun was startled for a moment, realizing the possibility, but still wanted to help Ye Tianchen.

"Young Master Xuanyuan Teng is back. Miss Ling, you can’t cover for this. We don’t want to trouble you; it’s better if Ye Tianchen comes with us," the man who spoke first continued.

"What? Xuanyuan Teng is back?" Ling Yuxun was taken aback, she didn’t expect Xuanyuan Teng to return so soon. It seemed Ye Tianchen really angered him, and Xuanyuan Teng came back to cause trouble for Ye Tianchen.

"That’s right, Young Master Xuanyuan Teng made it very clear: he wants Ye Tianchen dead. No one can save him!"

The man in the black suit spoke with a cold and assertive tone, as if Ye Tianchen’s life had already been decided by Xuanyuan Teng, like whoever Xuanyuan Teng wanted dead, couldn’t live.

"Go back and tell Xuanyuan Teng to come see me, otherwise he will regret it!"

It was then that Ye Tianchen stepped out of the sports car, a wicked smile playing on his lips. Whenever he harbored the intent to kill, such a smile would appear. (To be continued.
