Chapter 258
The next morning.
Chen Ye opened his eyes in bed; it was already past 9 a.m.
Stepping out of his room, he saw his father packing things up.
Chen Ye was puzzled and asked, "Dad, are you going on a trip?"
His father smiled and replied, "Yes, AH City has lifted the lockdown. I plan to head back today."
Hearing this, Chen Ye's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Only two or three days, and the lockdown is lifted?
Could the Blacklight Virus be so easily contained?
But then again, it made sense.
This world did have powerful reincarnators; even Blacklight Virus adapters couldn't cause much trouble.
It's not like in the world of "Prototype," where the protagonist has immense power, the government is corrupt, and there are conspiracies at play, making it impossible to control even a small area like Manhattan.
"Why not stay a couple more days and see how things are before heading back?" Chen Ye suggested.
His father shook his head. "I'm not comfortable staying here, and I'm worried about things at home. I'd rather go back now."
Seeing this, Chen Ye didn't try to persuade him further.
After taking his father to the bus station, Chen Ye didn't return home; instead, he took out the Reincarnation Warrant.
He was quite curious about this item.
He had tried searching online but couldn't find any related information.
It was clear that this was something very rare in the Reincarnation Space.
Then.
Chen Ye directly unsealed the Reincarnation Warrant and opened it…
No strange phenomena occurred.
The warrant looked quite ordinary, just a sheet of A4 paper with a drawing of a rather fierce-looking man and some details about him below.
[Real Name: Choi Ho-jae.
True Identity: Resident of Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Overall Strength Rating: B-Level.
Reason for Warrant: Violating a Reincarnation Space contract, killing the contracted party.]
[Note: The 'Eye of Pursuit' has been temporarily activated for you. When you are within a one-kilometer radius of the target, you will automatically lock onto their position.]
[Warning: After the warrant is unsealed, you have three days to assassinate the target and complete the mission. The warrant will expire after three days.]
[Warning: Failure to complete the mission will not result in any penalties.]
This was all the content on the warrant.
After reading it, Chen Ye's expression turned a bit strange.
This Korean guy named Choi Ho-jae had actually violated a Reincarnation Space contract? And even killed the contracted party?
Quite ruthless!
What puzzled Chen Ye more was why the Reincarnation Space couldn't just kill this person directly and had to use a warrant to eliminate him?
"Could it be that as long as someone hides in the real world, the Reincarnation Space has no way to deal with reincarnators? In other words, the Reincarnation Space's influence on the real world is very limited? It can't directly kill a reincarnator hiding in the real world?"
"So, the annual large-scale scenario 'Battle Royale,' which is said to be mandatory, how can the Reincarnation Space enforce participation if it can't even deal with a contract-breaking reincarnator?"
Chen Ye found it hard to understand.
"I'll find this guy and ask him myself!" Chen Ye thought to himself.
The opponent was just a B-level reincarnator in terms of overall strength, so Chen Ye wasn't worried about not being able to handle him.
Afterward.
Chen Ye went to a computer store to buy a high-end computer.
He wasn't in a rush to find the wanted criminal.
After all, Chen Ye had the Mark VII armor!
With the armor's flying speed, it wouldn't take more than two hours to fly from here to Korea.
He planned to take action at night…
...
After spending 20,000 yuan on a high-spec computer, Chen Ye also set up a broadband service.
Money makes the world go round!
Thanks to the power of money, Chen Ye managed to get everything set up in just half a day.
By evening, he was able to go online from his home.
The sun was slowly setting.
The night was beginning to drape over the earth.
After having dinner, Chen Ye went to a secluded location.
It was an unfinished building construction site, with no surveillance cameras or people around.
Chen Ye took out the Mark VII armor and activated it…
"Click!" "Click!"
The sound of machinery filled the air as the Mark VII quickly encased Chen Ye.
In just a few breaths, Chen Ye had become a mighty "Iron Man."
"Tsunade, target: Seoul, Korea!"
"Received, Master."
"Also, activate the cloaking device. Let's not get picked up by radar."
"Understood."
...
7:30 p.m.
At this time, Seoul was bustling.
As the capital of Korea, the prosperity of Seoul needed no further mention.
The streets were filled with traffic, heavily congested.
Scantily dressed women were everywhere, either shopping the busy commercial streets with their friends or out hunting for rich men.
At 32 years old, Choi Ho-jae was currently at the peak of his life.
After years of fighting in the Reincarnation Space, he had acquired powerful abilities and then joined a gang in the real world.
With his formidable strength, he easily rose to the position of gang leader.
Except for the consortium backing the gang, Choi Ho-jae now had complete control over it!
Although he couldn't return to the Reincarnation Space due to some issues, he didn't mind. At least he didn't have to risk his life in scenarios anymore.
Choi Ho-jae was quite satisfied with his life now.
Every day he could sleep as much as he wanted, eat lavish meals, and make money hand over fist.
As for women...
Any beautiful woman who caught his eye was his for the taking—if persuasion didn't work, he'd use force!
Since becoming the gang leader, more than a dozen women had been killed by him in bed…
Living a life almost like an emperor.
At this moment.
Choi Ho-jae had just walked out of a specialty restaurant and got into a luxury car, preparing to head to a hotel.
In a top-floor suite at the hotel, a small-time star had already showered and was waiting for him.
"What a pleasant evening!"
Choi Ho-jae laughed heartily.
In his mind, tonight was destined to be another "joyous" night.
However.
Choi Ho-jae didn't know that high above him in the sky, a pair of eyes were watching him.
...
Chen Ye had just arrived in Seoul as well.
By a stroke of luck, he had come close to his target upon arrival.
The ability of the Eye of Pursuit was quite fascinating; when Chen Ye got within a kilometer of Choi Ho-jae, he could immediately sense Choi Ho-jae's position.
In Chen Ye's vision, Choi Ho-jae's entire body was radiating red light.
For now, Chen Ye didn't make a move on the crowded street.
Because, as he knew, there were several A-level experts living in Seoul.
Taking action on a busy street could easily alert these experts.
Not that Chen Ye was afraid, but there was simply no need to complicate things.
