Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Ya glanced at Ye Chen, her eyes flickering. She said calmly, Its still early. How about having a cup of coffee with me? Ive never invited a guy for coffee before. Its not gentlemanly to reject a lady.
The reason why Zhu Ya said this was because she was filled with curiosity toward the man in front of her.
Originally, Ye Chens ident.i.ty did not interest her at all.
Even if Ye Chen was a very strong martial artist, and was the number one expert in River City, those accolades meant nothing in Jiangnan Province.
However, she had heard a lot about him from Bai Libing, and she also knew that Ye Chen was Dragon Souls Chief Instructor!
The higher-ups would not make such an absurd decision for no reason. Something about Ye Chen had prompted them to do this!
She had even sent someone to investigate Ye Chen thoroughly.
Five years ago, he was a piece of trash that everyone despised.
Five years later, he made Dragon Souls experts submit!
Where had Ye Chen been in the past five years?
Alright.
Ye Chen naturally would not refuse. After all, Zhu Ya might be the only link that could help him obtain the material for the Dragonslayer Sword.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the second floor of a coffee shop.
The environment here was very quiet.
Zhu Ya stirred the coffee in front of her and said, Since you came to the Zhu familys residence, you should have some request, right?
Ye Chens eyes narrowed and he asked curiously, Youre quite direct. What if thats not the case?
These few days, our family meeting is ongoing, so only our family members are around. Therefore, you showing up here now means that you have a favor to ask of the Zhu family.
I have always been so straightforward in doing things. Tell me, what is it? If 1 can help, 1 will naturally help. For the sake of Bai Libing, I will do my best.
Since the other party was so direct, Ye Chen did not intend to beat around the bush. He said, I know that your Zhu family once forged a sword. I need the raw material for this sword.
There was no surprise in Zhu Yas eyes. She elegantly took a sip of coffee and said, Its true that my family used to be a swordsmithing family, but we have forged thousands of swords. Which swords material do you need?
Seconds later, the Dragonslayer Sword appeared in Ye Chens hand!
As soon as the Dragonslayer Sword appeared, a surge of spiritual energy overflowed into the surroundings, which was also tinged with a faint baleful aura.
Pa da!
The cup of coffee in Zhu Yas hand fell to the ground, and the coffee even stained her white dress.
Her eyes rippled as she stared deeply at the Dragonslayer Sword.
Her beautiful face was filled with shock and astonishment..
Xuan Shattering Sword! How did it end up in your hands?
Zhu Ya could not hold it in any longer and cried out in surprise. She subconsciously reached out to take Ye Chens sword but was stopped by Ye Chen.
I have a certain principle. Only one kind of person touches my sword, and that is a dead person.
An ice-cold voice rang out, causing Zhu Ya to involuntarily s.h.i.+ver and completely sober up.
She then looked at Ye Chen with a hint of fear in her eyes.
Ye Chen, Im really sorry. This sword is very important to the Zhu family. Thats why I lost my composure!
For the past hundred years, the Zhu family had been searching for this sword, but no one expected that the Xuan Shattering Sword would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and in a damaged state to boot!
Before her great-grandfather died, he had left behind the words, The appearance of the Xuan Shattering Sword, the return of the emperor!
She tried her best to calm herself down and then said seriously, Ye Chen, are you willing to give this sword to the Zhu family? The Zhu family is willing to purchase it at any price! Anything! No less than 2 billion yuan!
Perhaps she felt that it was not sincere enough, Zhu Ya continued, On top of this price, you can also raise other conditions! The Zhu family will even owe you a favor!
The Zhu familys favor could protect any experts life! It was far more valuable than the two billion yuan she offered!
At this moment, Zhu Ya had even forgotten about Ye Chens request because this sword was too important to the Zhu family!
Ye Chens eyes turned cold as he refused, 1 dont lack money. You should know that.
Also, in my opinion, your Zhu familys favor is worthless!
He did not like it when others coveted his things, regardless of the relations.h.i.+p between this sword and the Zhu family.
It belonged to him now, and no one had the right to take it away.
Zhu Ya frowned when she heard Ye Chens arrogant words.
The only person who dared to say that the Zhu familys favor was worthless was probably this young man in front of her.
Although she was a little angry, she still smiled.
Ye Chen, perhaps I was a little too agitated today. You have my apologies. The conditions I just offered are negotiable at any time. You have ten days to consider them.
Also, its impossible for the family to part with the raw material! To the Zhu family, this sword is a form of faith.
Previously, she had taken the initiative to invite Ye Chen for coffee because she really wanted to befriend him and get to know him better.
However, the appearance of this sword changed everything.
Ye Chens value was far inferior to this sword!
Ye Chen stood up and glanced at Zhu Ya.
It looks like theres no room for discussion on this matter. In that case, farewell.
Just as Ye Chen was about to turn around and leave
Bang!
Seconds later, the gla.s.s window shattered, and a bullet flew toward Zhu Yas forehead!
Zhu Ya felt a cold sense of danger creeping up her entire body. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
Right at this moment, a current of air swept over, and even flipped the entire table, and the strong wind caused Zhu Yas face to hurt.
A hand appeared in front of her forehead!
It was Ye Chens!
Everything happened too quickly, so fast that Zhu Yas mind was blank.
Ye Chen opened his palm. Ding! A bullet landed on the flipped table.
At the moment, Zhu Ya finally came back to her senses, Someone had actually tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate her!
Were it not for Ye Chen, she would have died without a doubt!
Ye Chen had actually blocked a sniper rifles bullet!
How was this possible?
A top-notch ancient martial artist could catch a bullet, but not as easily as Ye Chen did. Furthermore, he had been several meters away from her just now.
A sense of fear crept into her heart, not from the a.s.sa.s.sination attempt, but from the cold and arrogant young man in front of erm.
Zhu Ya did not think too much about it and quickly dialed a number. Her eyes turned cold as she said, 1 was ambushed at the Teyc Coffee Shop. Bring the killer to me within ten minutes, or your corpse will be the one replacing his!
The call ended.
Then, Zhu Ya looked at Ye Chen and said gratefully, Thank you. 1 owe you a favor
Ye Chen had no intention of responding to her. He stuck his hands in his pockets and headed out of the room.
When he was about to go downstairs, he said, Your favor is worthless to me..
