Ye Chen was stunned at first. Then, he said with a forced smile, "I can't afford to offend him?"
He could even suppress the entire Kunlun Ruins, so how could he not afford to offend someone from the secular world? Most importantly, he was the master of Tiannan!
Seeing his reaction, Chen Zhong could not help but say, "Brother Ye, not only can you not afford to offend this person, even the defense chief of Lin City can't afford to offend him."
Ye Chen gave a short response and said in surprise, "He has a powerful background in Tiannan? Is he the son of some tycoon? Or the descendant of some high-ranking official? "
"No!"
Chen Zhong said, "This person's name is Luo Peng. He's nothing much, but his brother is one of the Four Mutant Kings of Tiannan, Azure Dragon!"
Mutant!
Ye Chen had learned from Li Zewei that after the spiritual energy recovery, people who awakened their cultivation talent were called mutants. A powerful mutant was not weaker than an ancient martial artist.
He could not help but ask, "Who is Azure Dragon?"
"Brother Ye, to be honest, I really wonder if you're a local of Lin City, or if you're from a very remote place."
Chen Zhong looked at him deeply and said patiently, "After the spiritual energy recovery, some people awakened as mutants, and mutants are divided into nine levels. I'm only a level-3 mutant."
At this point, he could not help but say, "There are naturally many mutants in Tiannan. Among them, there are four mutants who are the most powerful. They are Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger."
"My brother is right!"
Chen Rongrong interrupted, "These four are known as the Four Mutant Kings of Tiannan. They've killed many powerful ferocious beasts at the frontline!
"These four people were nurtured by Star Group with countless resources. They're known as the four great generals under Star Group!"
Chen Zhong sighed softly, "Therefore, their status in Tiannan is supreme, second only to the Patriarch of Hell!"
Just when Ye Chen was about to speak, he saw Chen Rongrong take a deep breath in and say, "Brother, you missed someone!
There's actually another legendary figure in Tiannan! "
She clasped her hands tightly together and said with incomparable respect, "This person is known as the master of Tiannan, the No. 1 in China, and the No. 1 in Southeast Asia!"
"Are you talking about Mad Southern Ye?"
Chen Zhong also reacted and said with admiration, "Mad Southern Ye is indeed a legend in China, but I heard that he has been missing for ten months. Some people say that he's dead."
After the two of them were done talking, they turned around again, but they realized that Ye Chen and the rest were gone.
"Eh, where's Brother Ye …"
…
The core of Lin City, the headquarters of Star Group.
The current Star Group was no longer what it used to be. With the wealth that Ye Chen had accumulated in the past, they took the lead in researching human cultivation after the spiritual energy recovery.
Within a short span of ten months, it had risen to become one of the six largest financial magnates in the country. It even controlled the three large Tiannan Provinces, looking down on the world like a colossus.
In order to resist the beast horde and protect China, Star Group even cooperated with the government to form an alliance army.
For example, Old Man Gu, the former Yan Nanfei, Han Qinhu, and other elders of the older generation went to the frontlines to fight against the Beast Tide.
On the ninth floor of Star Group's headquarters.
"What? Did the Beast Tide from the east reinforce them? "
"Send out the Apocalypse No. 1 drone group to bombard the mountain range where the beast tide is. Cooperate with General Yan and the rest. We must intercept them!"
"Pass down my order. Order the eastern battlefront. All the mutants under the command of Star Group to participate in the battle. At this moment, we must sacrifice ourselves to serve our country. Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
"…"
At that moment, four women were sitting together. They were analyzing the battle situation on the huge satellite navigator while issuing orders at the same time.
If Ye Chen was there, he would definitely realize that the four women were Ye Wen, Xiao Ya, Tang Ning, Yu Shasha, and the rest.
However, the four women's temperament had changed drastically.
As the main members who controlled Star Group, the four women were no longer as weak as before. There was a hint of flexibility and aura on their bodies, as if they were otherworldly. No one dared to look at them directly.
After finishing all of this with great difficulty, Ye Wen, who was in the middle, stood up. She walked to the side and pressed a switch on the wall. Immediately, a mourning hall popped up.
In the mourning hall stood the memorial tablets of Ye Ming, Yang Hui, Lin Tai, Niu Qingshan, Chen Tulong, and the rest.
However, the memorial tablet in the middle did not have a name.
Ye Chen lit a few incense sticks and bowed to the memorial tablet. He then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner and swept his gaze past Ye Ming, Yang Hui, and the rest's memorial tablets.
Her gaze landed on the nameless memorial tablet. She bit her lip and said softly, "Brother, are you really dead?
If you're fine, why hasn't there been any news after ten months? "
"I'm so tired …"
As she murmured, a stream of tears slowly fell from the corner of Ye Wen's eyes. This woman had grown from unruly and willful to strong and reserved. It was as if she had been reborn.
No one knew what kind of pain she had experienced after her parents' death. No one knew how much effort she had put in to take charge of Star Group after Ye Chen was gone.
"Wenwen!"
At that moment, Tang Ning and the other two women walked over. Their gazes were extremely complicated as they stared at the nameless memorial tablet for a few seconds.
Then, the three women hugged Ye Wen tightly. Yu Shasha choked and said, "Sister Wenwen, Brother Ye is definitely not dead. You have to believe that."
"That's right. Master will be fine. Let's hold on a little longer. He'll return one day," Xiao Ya comforted.
Such a scene had happened countless times. Every time, it was the four women who comforted and encouraged each other that allowed Star Group to come this far.
"Thank you!"
Ye Wen wiped her tears and forced a smile, "You're right. My brother is definitely not dead. I have to protect Star Group for him and sister-in-law!"
At that moment, the alarm in the building suddenly rang, accompanied by a series of screams.
The four women's expressions changed, "What happened?"
At the next moment!
A guard in Star Group's uniform stumbled in, "B-Director Ye, the four Mutant Kings have rebelled. H-they brought their men in …"
As his voice fell.
The technology door on the ninth floor was forcefully broken open from the outside. Then, a young man wearing an azure dragon robe walked in slowly.
Behind him were two men and a woman, as well as countless guards wearing Star Group's uniforms and holding guns.
Black muzzles were pointed at Ye Wen and the rest.
The sudden scene shocked Ye Wen and the other three women. They could not help but take a step back subconsciously.
Ye Wen looked at the young man in the azure dragon robe with an extremely dignified gaze, "Azure Dragon, what are you trying to do?"
"Director Ye!"
The young man called Azure Dragon smiled, "It's not easy for the four of you to support Star Group, so I want to share the burden with you!"
Xiao Ya's beautiful eyes were cold, "You want to seize power?!"
