Chapter 36

When the name Lee Jong-hi came out, it caused many people's faces to change dramatically. This included Tang Zichen, who showed a surprised expression. Chen Ye was very puzzled. It wasn't that he had a bad memory, but... he couldn't understand English.

"Squad leader, what is he saying?"

"He said he's Lee Jong-hi's younger brother."

Tang Zichen sighed, "I didn't expect that there was still a descendant of the Lee family alive in the world, and he's in the same freshman class as us."

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment before realizing who Lee Jong-hi was. He hadn't expected that this young man would be the brother of that tragic Korean.

However, why would he come out at a time like this? Whatever he intended to do, it couldn't be anything good.

Chen Ye became interested and switched into observer mode.

Soon, with the reminders of their companions, the people around also learned the identity of this young man.

As for Lee Jae Young, seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, he revealed a smug smile on his face.

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The previous Japanese youth furrowed his brows and said, "Puttichai, regardless of your identity, we are allies now. Let's accomplish the mission first!"

"Allies? Haha..." Lee Jae Young sneered, then said coldly, "All of you should die!"

With this statement, the gazes of the crowd turned hostile towards Lee Jae Young. Even fools could understand that Lee Jae Young harbored ill intentions.

"Puttichai, are you out of your mind?" A dark-skinned youth from Thailand hurriedly explained to everyone, "Everyone, Puttichai's actions only represent himself and have nothing to do with us. We, the Thai team, are still allies with everyone."

Chen Ye suddenly furrowed his brows. These short-lived ghosts were speaking gibberish, making it impossible for him to enjoy the situation.

"Squad leader, help me translate."

"Why aren't you worried at all?" Tang Zichen said helplessly, "Take advantage of this time to think about how to escape!"

Chen Ye replied, "We can think about escaping later. Right now, I want to figure out why they're having internal strife."

"What else could it be?" Tang Zichen said, "The ones who forced Lee Jong-hi and his family to death are connected to various countries worldwide, including those present. The purpose of Lee Jong-hi's brother revealing his identity at this time can only be one: revenge!"

"He's just one person. How can he seek revenge?" Chen Ye was a bit surprised.

"You'll see as it unfolds."

...

The two quietly discussed, not affecting others.

A white youth spoke domineeringly, "I don't care where you're from, nor am I interested in your brother. Don't come here and interfere with my bounty hunting, OK? If you don't listen to advice, I guarantee I'll rip out your spine!"

Judging by his domineering tone, it was clear he was from America.

Upon hearing the threat, Lee Jae Young just smiled coldly, completely ignoring it. His confident demeanor made many smart people furrow their brows, realizing that something was amiss.

The Japanese youth followed, "Lee Jae Young, right? Although I don't know where you got your confidence, allowing you to step out at this time, but aren't you afraid that because of this, your country will once again face scrutiny and condemnation?"

That statement sounded reasonable. However, Lee Jae Young was instantly infuriated, shouting like a woman with a grudge, "I have no country! Since the moment they let my family die, the peninsula has ceased to be my country!"

"If Chen Ye could understand, he would definitely curse: This is so awkward!

"Hey, can you stop wasting time?" a black man asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Lee Jae Young took a deep breath, then smirked and looked crazy, "It's simple, kill all of you... kill everyone in this secret realm!"

"I believe those of you with S-level talents dying here will make those outside very uncomfortable, right?"

The black man chuckled at the words, "Just you?"

Lee Jae Young also laughed, "Of course, I can't do it alone, but it surely can!"

This guy suddenly took out a glass jar.

In the glass jar, there was a somewhat rotten-looking heart, already blackened.

Strangely, this heart was actually alive, still beating!

"What is this?"

"Could it be..."

Someone spoke, their tone full of disbelief and horror.

Lee Jae Young's face, however, showed a sinister smile.

"Everyone, this is the gift my brother left for you!!"

After saying this, Lee Jae Young raised the glass jar in his hand and smashed it violently to the ground.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the glass jar shattered into pieces.

The black heart also rolled to the ground, exposed to the air.

Although there were no obvious abnormal reactions around, for some reason, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, as if a great disaster was imminent.

Lee Jae Young laughed wildly:

"Hahaha... all of you will die! And you won't be able to run away for a full nine days. It will definitely kill all of you!"

This confirmed some people's speculations.

A Thai youth stuttered, "Puttichai, this... this heart... could it be related to your brother and the monster he created? Did... did you release a demon?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed:

"What? That monster created by Lee Jong-hi is still in the secret realm? How is that possible?"

"My teacher never told me about the fate of that monster..."

"It's impossible! If that monster is still in the secret realm, why haven't we heard of its appearance for so many years?"

"Don't be fooled, this damn guy is definitely trying to scare us!"

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? Even if that monster really exists, what can it do? With so many of us, can't we kill it?"

"Kid, you're right. At least half of us here are perfect S-level talents. If the monster dares to come, I'll make it taste my iron fist."

It seems like many people know about Lee Jong-hi's affair.

Probably only Chen Ye, the "straggler" present, didn't know, or he could only learn about it from Tang Zichen.

Hearing everyone's words, Lee Jae Young laughed heartily, "It has always existed, just missing its heart, so it fell into a deep sleep. Now, it should have awakened!"

As if to confirm Lee Jae Young's words.

A terrifying roar suddenly echoed from a distant mountain peak:

"Roar!!!"

This sound, like the roar of an ancient behemoth, carried an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Even though the mountain peak was still far from this place, everyone could hear it clearly.

It's definitely not something an ordinary zombie could produce.

Everyone's faces changed.

"Baka!"

A burly man from the Japanese team shouted loudly, "Damn bastard, you could have released the monster earlier. Why choose now?"

"Choosing now not only disrupts your plans but also allows me to see all of you terrified and desperate. Isn't that more interesting?"

Lee Jae Young laughed heartily, his expression completely insane, "I want all of you to experience the pain of despair!!"
