Chapter 102: Kill the One Named Chen First!

Chapter 102: Kill the One Named Chen First!

Looking at the convoy chasing them from both sides, Chen Ye realized that the mastermind behind this attack had finally shown up. He first glanced at Tang Zichen and found that she was also looking at him. It seemed that they had a tacit understanding and knew what the other was thinking. Then, Tang Zichen nodded at him.

Chen Ye smiled slightly and turned to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, they're likely after the class monitor. You take Zhao Zheng and the others and leave. I'll stay with the monitor."

Everyone was stunned by his words.

Mr. Liu frowned and immediately dismissed the idea, "Nonsense! Are you two planning to stay and get yourselves killed?"

However, Mr. Liu also knew that if they continued like this, none of them would be able to escape. Since the attackers dared to chase them, they must be well-prepared.

While Mr. Liu was trying to think of a way out, suddenly, green light emanated from Tang Zichen. She used telekinesis to send Chen Ye off the roof of the bus and then immediately followed him, choosing to jump out of the bus directly. She intended to attract the enemy's attention and give Zhao Zheng and the others a chance to escape.

Mr. Liu was shocked. As a deeply responsible teacher, he couldn't bear to leave Tang Zichen and Chen Ye behind, so he quickly jumped off the bus as well. Surprisingly, Teacher Jian also jumped off right after, displaying agility comparable to Mr. Liu.

In the blink of an eye, four people had jumped off the bus, leaving Zhao Zheng and the others bewildered. Zhao Zheng and Ren Qianqian immediately wanted to follow, but a still-calm Cao Yu quickly stopped them.

"Don't be impulsive! We'll just add to the chaos if we go now. We should leave quickly and call for help to support them!" Cao Yu urged.

Zhao Zheng and Ren Qianqian realized the sense in her words. Given their current strength, jumping off wouldn't be much help and might even become a burden. They suppressed their impulse and sat down, clenching their teeth.

Chen Ye's judgment was correct. The convoy was indeed after Tang Zichen. When he and Tang Zichen jumped out, the off-road vehicles immediately braked and stopped, not even bothering to send a single car to continue chasing Zhao Zheng and the others. It was clear that in their eyes, Tang Zichen was the most important target, while the others were insignificant.

Seeing Mr. Liu follow them, Chen Ye wasn't surprised. It was typical of Mr. Liu's character. However, he was taken aback when Teacher Jian also jumped off. He then noticed the coldness in her eyes. This woman, who had been crying on the bus saying she didn't want to die, now had the courage to jump off? Such contradictory behavior was a clear red flag.

Chen Ye had suspected this woman before, and now he was certain: Teacher Jian was the mole. Was this realization too late? No problem. Today, unless there's a sixth-rank expert, even the King of Heaven couldn't save her!

Mr. Liu, a smart man, quickly came to the same conclusion upon seeing Teacher Jian's actions. He immediately stared intently at her.

At this moment, Teacher Jian no longer needed to keep up her act. She stood there, looked at everyone, and sneered. She took out a small device flashing with a red light from her bag.

"This is the latest locator developed by America. It sends directional signals that cannot be interfered with. The signal jammer on the bus is useless against it."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu's face turned extremely grim. No wonder they were ambushed so precisely—it was because of this device.

"Jian, you did a great job!" a rough voice called out. A group of people got out of the off-road vehicles, surrounding Mr. Liu, Chen Ye, and Tang Zichen. Most of them were foreigners, with a few Asians mixed in. They were all dressed in black robes, looking like members of a cult.

Mr. Liu frowned deeply, his face serious. But when he saw a burly, handsome middle-aged white man in a suit, his eyes suddenly filled with fear, as if he had seen a terrifying figure.

Tang Zichen suddenly asked, "Teacher Jian, is this because of what happened in class before?"

Teacher Jian's face immediately showed anger. "Bitch! You know it well. You ruined my opportunities and career, and I'll make you wish you were dead." She then turned her gaze to Chen Ye, "This pretty boy is important to you, right? I'll make you watch as I torture him to death!!"

Chen Ye: ??? WTF!! Why do you people always target me first when dealing with Tang Zichen?

What kind of twisted logic is this? I haven't done anything heinous, so why target me?

Is it because my bald head is shiny?

Unlike the furious Jian woman, Tang Zichen remained calm. When she turned to look at Chen Ye, an apologetic expression appeared on her pretty face.

"Chen Ye, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this again..."

Chen Ye waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind. Then he noticed something was off with Mr. Liu.

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Mr. Liu was drenched in sweat. He was staring intently at the bearded middle-aged white man, his eyes full of fear and despair, not even responding to Chen Ye's call.

The middle-aged white man noticed and suddenly laughed, looking at Mr. Liu, "Do you recognize me?"

He spoke in Chinese.

It seems that this world's Xia Kingdom is very strong! The prevalence of Chinese is quite high.

Mr. Liu finally snapped back to reality and gritted his teeth, "The ace assassin of the Sacred Table Society, Mr. Wake. I didn't expect to see you here."

Chen Ye was stunned and quickly asked, "Mr. Liu, is he very powerful?"

Before Mr. Liu could answer, the Jian woman laughed, "Ignorant brat, not knowing Mr. Wake, how clueless."

Mr. Liu sighed heavily and said, "Ten years ago, he had already reached the strength of the fifth rank. Over the past decade, he has completed countless missions, rarely failing. He is the ace assassin of the foreign assassin organization, Sacred Table Society."

So powerful?

Chen Ye started to worry.

Will he really fail today?

Tang Zichen's face also changed, her eyes filled with panic.

She knew Chen Ye was strong.

But a fifth-rank expert? Chen Ye probably couldn't handle that, right?

She didn't want Chen Ye to die!

Especially not because of her...

"By the way!" Mr. Liu suddenly added, "He once attempted to assassinate your father, Chairman Chen, but failed. That was one of his few defeats."

"Even so, his record is still impressive. He's a top-tier expert, second only to your father. Even your father couldn't take him down... Among many fifth-rank experts, his strength is definitely among the top."

Chen Ye: ???

Not as strong as my dad, Chairman Chen?

Then that's reassuring!

Wait...

This scoundrel tried to assassinate my dad?

Alright, you bastard, even Jesus can't save you today!

I swear!!

"So, you're Chen's son?"

The white man, Wake, locked his gaze on Chen Ye and smiled, "Great! I hope Chen won't be too heartbroken when he hears about his son's death."

Mr. Liu's expression became extremely grave.

"Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, I will buy you some time later. Run immediately, without any hesitation!"

As he spoke, he drew his sword, his eyes filled with determination, clearly ready to fight to the death.

The Jian woman suddenly burst into laughter:

"Liu Zhenjiang, with just you? Stop dreaming! Today, you all will die!!"

Chen Ye ignored the madwoman and quietly asked Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, can you survive while buying us time?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu only gave a bitter smile.

Survive? Against that man?

He feared he couldn't even buy them any time!

Because the opponent was far faster than him.

Although Mr. Liu said nothing, Chen Ye understood his meaning.

"So, Mr. Liu, you have no confidence, right?"

Mr. Liu sighed and suddenly said, "Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, it has been an honor to be your teacher."

Huh?

Is he already giving his last words?

Seeing Mr. Liu about to act, Chen Ye suddenly stepped back. Taking advantage of Mr. Liu's full attention on the enemy, he raised his hand and struck the back of Mr. Liu's head swiftly.

"Thump!"

It seemed he used too much force.

Mr. Liu fell face-first into the ground, eating dirt.

"Whoa!!!"

Chen Ye was shocked and quickly pulled Mr. Liu out, checking his breathing. Realizing Mr. Liu was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, Mr. Liu. Didn't control my strength well. Almost sent you to meet your grandmother! I'll be gentler next time..."

Mr. Liu was already unconscious and couldn't hear a word.

Chen Ye's bold move left everyone around him stunned.

Even the fifth-rank ace assassin was bewildered, not understanding what Chen Ye was doing.

The pretty boy attacked the teacher who was supposed to cover for them?

What kind of operation is this?

Even if they didn't understand!

They were all deeply shocked!

"Chen Ye, you..."

Tang Zichen was stunned.

"Oh!" Chen Ye replied, "I was afraid Mr. Liu might get scared later, so I had to make him sleep for a bit."

"Monitor, later you take care of Mr. Liu. Don't let these people's blood splash on him..."

Tang Zichen was baffled.

From Chen Ye's words, does he mean he can handle a fifth-rank expert?

Out of trust for Chen Ye, Tang Zichen still nodded, stepped back, came to the unconscious Mr. Liu's side, and activated her telekinetic shield, protecting both of them.

Chen Ye stepped forward and looked at Wake.

"Hey, ace assassin over there, do you keep dogs?"

Wake was stunned and instinctively shook his head, "No."

"What? You don't keep dogs? That's unforgivable!!!"

Wake: ???
