When he saw Ying Qing’s message, both his and Lei Shuwei’s breathing quickened.
Suddenly, Lei Shuwei thought of something and said, “Since Ying Qing can send a message, why did he only send it to you? There’s a problem.”
Ye Chen nodded.
“But right now, this message is the only clue.”
Seconds later, the content of the message was revealed.
There were only a few words…
“Ye Chen, have you ever experienced despair?”
Ye Chen frowned slightly. This confirmed that the message had not been sent by Ying Qing.
Ying Qing would not call him by his name, let alone type out such boring drivel.
Ye Chen tried to call, but the number was not in service.
“Mr. Ye, this is an encrypted message. It’s impossible to trace the source.”
“However, since the other party sent this text message with his phone, Ying Qing might still be alive. After all, the user access verification process for Dragon Soul’s phones is quite complex.”
Ye Chen nodded. He thought of something and asked, “How much do you know about the Martial Emperor Society?”
“Mr. Ye, in fact, Dragon Soul has had many run-ins with the Martial Emperor Society in the past few years. One of them was in Huaxia’s waters. In that conflict, both sides suffered heavy losses and seven of our members died…”
“Beiye is the leader of the Martial Emperor Society. He is extremely powerful and has 100,000 followers! In the Pearl Nation, he is almost deified by its citizens.”
“However, the strange thing is that, in the past, Dragon Soul’s members were equally matched with the Martial Emperor Society’s members, yet we’ve been completely bested this time. I’m afraid that the team might have encountered a very powerful expert from the Martial Emperor Society. Against this type of expert, firearms are ineffective.”
Ye Chen fell into a state of deep thought.
The reason why Ying Qing was in trouble was actually largely because of him. After all, these people from the Martial Emperor Society were likely here to take revenge on him after he killed their members in River City.
The threatening text message was the best proof.
At this moment, his phone screen lit up again. This time, a link had been sent over.
“Mr. Ye, do you mind connecting your phone to this laptop? I’ll get Dragon Soul’s technicians to investigate the link,” Lei Shuwei said.
Ye Chen nodded and handed the phone to Lei Shuwei, who took out a data cable and connected it to the laptop in the car.
Lei Shuwei went back and forth with Dragon Soul’s technicians on the computer, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“There’s no problem with the link. It shouldn’t be a virus.”
After saying that, Lei Shuwei opened the link. Seconds later, a live feed appeared on the screen, displaying the bodies of ten people.
All ten were Dragon Soul’s soldiers!
Thankfully, these ten people were only unconscious. However, their hands and feet were bound, and their bodies were covered in bloody wounds.
Ye Chen clenched his fists at the sight of this shocking scene.
In Jiangnan Province, he was the Hunter who was feared by everyone!
However, he was also Dragon Soul’s Chief Instructor!
In other words, these ten people were his subordinates!
How could Ye Chen not be furious when he saw them riddled with wounds?
Even Lei Shuwei punched the air and cursed, “F*cking Martial Emperor Society!”
Soon, a man wearing a clown mask appeared on the screen.
The man held a sword in his hand and looked straight at the camera. The corners of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile.
“Ye Chen, we finally meet. You’re younger than 1 thought.”
Ye Chen’s eyes were cold.
“Let them go and I’ll let bygones be bygones,” he said calmly.
The man on the screen laughed as if he had heard something funny.
“Are you giving me orders? You people from Huaxia seem to be quite the jokers.”
“Let them go,” Ye Chen repeated himself.
His voice became colder and colder. For some reason, the car windows were already covered in a layer of frost.
The man ignored Ye Chen. Instead, he walked up to an unconscious Dragon Soul soldier and kicked him in the chest.
The Dragon Soul soldier instantly regained consciousness and spat out a mouthful of blood. When he saw the man in front of her, the veins on his neck bulged and he roared angrily!
The man was still smiling, and his clown mask made him look all the more creepy.
Suddenly, he placed his sword on the Dragon Soul soldier’s shoulder and looked at the camera.
“Next, I’d like to invite you to watch a wonderful performance. How about it?”
“I’ve always been curious about what kind of team Huaxia’s Dragon Soul is.”
After saying that, the sword slid viciously into the soldier’s shoulder, cutting both clothes and skin. Blood oozed out!
“Ahhh…”
The soldier groaned in pain, his eyes bloodshot.
The man stopped there and said to the soldier, “Listen, as long as you say in front of the camera that the people of Huaxia are pigs, 1 will consider letting you go. 1 might even treat you.”
The Dragon Soul soldier glared at the masked man and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the man’s mask and clothes.
“Huaxia cannot be humiliated! Even if you threaten to kill me, I will not budge!”
Determination filled the soldier’s eyes. The most basic requirement to become a member of Dragon Soul was absolute loyalty!
After hearing this, the man’s sinister smile widened, as his arm exerted more and more force.
The sword cut deeper, and more and more blood flowed out.
Even bone was visible now!
“Are you sure you don’t want to say it? I’d like to see how long you can last.”
He did not believe that these people would rather die than capitulate.
The dragon soul warrior’s veins were bulging as he gritted his teeth in pain!
Then, he roared, “The Martial Emperor Society are the f*cking pigs! Eat that you piece of sh*t!”
At this moment, the masked man’s expression changed completely.
Another harsh kick landed on the soldier’s abdomen, knocking the wind out of him. However, the soldier’s eyes were still filled with determination.
He would defend Huaxia until he died, even if all he could defend was its honor!
At this moment, Ye Chen’s heart was burning with rage. He could no longer control himself and punched the car door, which caved in under the force.
The bulletproof glass shattered and scattered everywhere.
“You’re courting death!”
Lei Shuwei wanted to calm him down, but realized that he could not even calm himself down!
Who could endure their own subordinates being tortured like this?
His eyes were burning with anger as he said to the camera, “Huaxia is warning you for the last time.. If you dare to hurt our soldiers again, the Martial Emperor Society will not be able to bear the consequences!”
