Chapter 513: Chapter 0513: Marshal, Can You Tolerate This?
Ye Xunhuan had no idea that the people from the Black Council had already made a move on Qiu Ruoxi and had seriously injured Frank.
After killing Hector from the Sea Eagle, Ye Xunhuan immediately left the area. He also learned from Hector that they were recruited by Qi Jieyu with a hefty sum of money. As for how they entered, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t extract that information, or perhaps Hector himself didn’t know.
This gave Ye Xunhuan a whiff of something unusual, or rather, a dangerous scent.
The people from Sea Eagle entering Huaxia without the Hidden Dragon organization noticing a thing—that couldn’t be normal, could it?
After all, Sea Eagle was an entity on par with Inferno, and the people from Inferno were immediately targeted by the Hidden Dragon as soon as they made a move. However, Sea Eagle wasn’t. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
It’s worth noting that Sea Eagle had arrived earlier than Inferno, but Hidden Dragon hadn’t detected them in the slightest.
Could it be that the Hidden Dragon was providing cover for Sea Eagle?
Ye Xunhuan’s car was completely wrecked by those two truck trailers, turning into scrap. There was no possibility of driving away. Moreover, in this godforsaken resort area, it was very difficult to find a ride.
Having no choice, Ye Xunhuan decided to call Xiao Jiu and have him send someone to pick him up.
But before Ye Xunhuan could make the call to Xiao Jiu, his phone rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, Ye Xunhuan’s face lit up with joy; this guy must have known he was looking for him and had purposefully called!
Following that, Ye Xunhuan didn’t hesitate to answer the call.
"Xiao Jiu..."
"Brother Huan, it’s bad, there’s been an incident!" Xiao Jiu’s voice was filled with agitation and unease.
Upon hearing Xiao Jiu’s anxious and uneasy words, Ye Xunhuan’s expression slightly changed, "What happened?"
This was the second time that Xiao Jiu had spoken to him in this tone since his return to Huaxia.
There would be no way Xiao Jiu would be like this if something hadn’t happened.
Thus, Ye Xunhuan instinctively assumed something had gone wrong!
"Brother Huan, your wife’s been kidnapped, and Frank and the others are severely injured!" Xiao Jiu said hurriedly!
"What?" Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly turned grim, and a chilling intent to kill emanated from him at that moment.
"What exactly happened?" Ye Xunhuan asked in a cold voice.
"Brother Huan, Frank said it was the people from the Black Council who moved against your wife. Loren has taken her, and they want you to exchange her for the ’Tai Chi’ seal!" Xiao Jiu didn’t hide anything and told Ye Xunhuan directly.
After Frank and the others were injured, they had originally tried to contact Ye Xunhuan, but were unable to reach him. They had no choice but to contact Xiao Jiu, who then relayed the information to Ye Xunhuan.
And he also told Xiao Jiu about the ins and outs of the matter.
Xiao Jiu was about to take action, but when he heard the words "Black Council," he knew that this was not something he could handle.
And the one who appeared was Loren.
Xiao Jiu didn’t think he could defeat Loren, and especially since he didn’t know who else from the Black Council might have come. If the chairman of the Black Council had also come, then going there would mean certain death for Xiao Jiu!
Therefore, Xiao Jiu immediately contacted Ye Xunhuan.
The situation now was beyond his involvement, and even Frank and the others couldn’t intervene.
The battle had escalated.
"The Black Council!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice became even colder, as if it was emanating from the Nine Serenities Hell, devoid of any life: "Where do they want me to find them?"
"They said Pei Zhencuan knows!"
Pei Zhencuan!
When Ye Xunhuan heard these three words, his face immediately contorted fiercely.
No wonder Pei Zhencuan had been so amiable before, showing no intention of making a move, and Qiu Ruoxi had safely returned home. It turned out he had been scheming in the dark, planning to join forces with Qi Jieyu halfway to kill him. If that failed, then Qiu Ruoxi would be their bargaining chip to threaten Ye Xunhuan!
Even Ye Xunhuan had to admire such clever tactics!
But how had Pei Zhencuan hooked up with the Dark Council?
This point left Ye Xunhuan somewhat puzzled!
The history of the Dark Council in Europe is quite ancient, spanning several centuries, a true behemoth.
Even in Europe, ordinary people couldn’t possibly connect with the Dark Council. Yet, now Pei Zhencuan had made contact, which was completely impossible.
Unless the people from the Dark Council had contacted Pei Zhencuan themselves!
Moreover, this possibility was very likely, and they had said they wanted the "Tai Chi Seal".
But now was not the time for Ye Xunhuan to ponder how Pei Zhencuan had connected with the Dark Council; it was time to rescue Qiu Ruoxi!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan immediately displayed superhuman speed and headed toward the hotel.
Pei Zhencuan should still be at the hotel now!
If someone on the street saw Ye Xunhuan vanish like a ghost in front of their eyes, they would definitely think they had encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Xunhuan finally arrived at the hotel, but there was no sign of Pei Zhencuan inside, as if he had already left.
This made Ye Xunhuan’s expression turn even more somber, feeling as if he was being played.
This feeling annoyed him greatly, and at that moment, his rage surged!
Just as his fury was about to completely envelop his heart, Ye Xunhuan suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly looked up to the neighboring building’s rooftop.
On the rooftop, which was nearly a hundred meters high, stood a black dot.
It was a person.
Ye Xunhuan could see that clearly!
Without saying another word, Ye Xunhuan immediately headed upstairs.
In just a moment, Ye Xunhuan had reached the rooftop.
There, Pei Zhencuan sat in a wooden rocking chair under a parasol, swinging leisurely with an utterly complacent look on his face, and beside Pei Zhencuan stood He Sichan, along with several burly men!
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan appear, He Sichan’s face immediately showed a deep concern!
When Pei Zhencuan saw Ye Xunhuan, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a shallow smile, "Mr. Loren was right, your life, Ye Xunhuan, is tough. You won’t be killed that easily!"
Now that things had gone this far, Pei Zhencuan had no reason to be insincere with Ye Xunhuan, it was time to drop all pretenses.
"You are playing with fire!" Ye Xunhuan stared at Pei Zhencuan and said coldly.
"Am I?" Pei Zhencuan chuckled, speaking disdainfully, "How will you deal with me if I play with fire, kill me?"
"Marshal, he’s provoking you like this, can you endure it?" A sudden voice came from the rooftop, "If it were me, I couldn’t bear it!"
"I would definitely kill him!"
