Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Kick Him Out
Ye Xuan didn't actually go to the bathroom; instead, he found a secluded corner and pulled out his Nokia satellite phone.
The phone displayed an incoming call from an unknown number, and the digits were not the usual Arabic numerals but a series of completely random gibberish!
Seeing this strange caller ID, Ye Xuan showed no surprise and pressed the answer button.
Beep!
The phone vibrated and the screen went dark, followed by a sexy, fiery woman in leather appearing on the screen.
Upon seeing the woman, Ye Xuan slightly smiled and said, "Kirin, haven't I told you? I'm currently heading back to my country to get married and on vacation. If it's not something important, don't contact me. How are those boys doing? Don't let them idle too much."
"Black Emperor, Eagle has disappeared!"
The first words from Kirin made Ye Xuan's face change.
Ye Xuan frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? How could Eagle have disappeared?"
Ye Xuan knew that with Kirin's hacking skills, a disappearance she referred to was definitely not a typical missing person case. Any slight trace would be discovered by her, unless it was as though the person had evaporated from the Mortal World!
"From the information we've got so far, half a month ago, Eagle was set up and then vanished without a trace."
In the call, Kirin's expression seemed rather grim.
Half a month ago?
Wasn't that when I left?
Ye Xuan's expression darkened, and he said angrily, "Someone dared to ambush Eagle? Who's so bold! Don't they know he's one of my men?"
Eagle, whose real name was Chen Dong, had joined the organization three years ago and was a current member of Ye Xuan's team, also one of the highest-ranking members.
Although the two held a superior-subordinate relationship within the organization, they were as close as brothers, having been through life and death on many missions, truly brothers forged from the battlefields of corpses and blood!
"Judging from Eagle's last known location, he was within Yan Country's territory. At the time, there were signs of Dragon Soul activity. Moreover, the multiple pieces of evidence we've collected also suggest it was Dragon Soul's doing!" Kirin continued.
Hearing the name 'Dragon Soul,' a sharp glint flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes.
Dragon Soul was Yan Country's official top combat team, unrivaled in stature within Yan Country, but Ye Xuan didn't take them too seriously.
It was that one person within Dragon Soul whom Ye Xuan had met once. That person might be a bit tricky to handle!
However, Ye Xuan's team and Dragon Soul kept to their own paths, despite some minor frictions, they did not have any deep-seated hatred.
Why would they target Eagle?
That was something Ye Xuan couldn't understand!
Ye Xuan pondered and then asked, "Besides Dragon Soul, are there any other suspects?"
Kirin replied, "The other party's movements are very secretive. Judging from the intelligence collected at the scene, the only clue points to Dragon Soul."
A flicker of light passed through Ye Xuan's eyes. With his understanding of the people in Dragon Soul, if it really were them, they wouldn't have left such an obvious clue.
Did they not fear provoking me, declaring an open war against Dragon Soul?
After a moment's thought, Ye Xuan said to Kirin, "This doesn't seem like Dragon Soul's doing. It appears there's a hidden hand behind the scenes, deliberately stirring up conflict between us and Dragon Soul! To figure out what's going on, we need to find Eagle!"
"By the way, has there been any movement from Snake King's side?"
"Nothing yet, they seem to be unaware of your trip to Yan Country and are currently holed up in their European strongholds," Kirin said.
"What about the other guys?"
"They are all holding their positions."
Ye Xuan sneered, "No anomalies is the biggest anomaly. I suspect Eagle's disappearance was their doing!"
"Black Emperor, are you saying…"
"Hmph! These guys can't possibly be this quiet. Keep a close watch on them, and report back immediately at any sign of trouble!"
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xuan looked out at the gloomy darkness outside, his eyes flickering with cold light.
The Emperor wielded a double-edged sword, his might overtaking rivers and mountains, shooting towards the day's sun!
Those who dared to move against his people would have to brace for the Black Emperor's thunderous rage!
When Ye Xuan returned to their private booth, he saw his wife Lin Tong drinking alone. Her solitary figure stirred a sense of pity in him.
"Old fellow, you finally did something right."
Ye Xuan smiled, and just as he was about to step forward, a man in a florid shirt, his face flushed red, staggered out from the restroom.
He was obviously quite drunk and unsteady on his feet. At that moment, his mousey eyes caught sight of Lin Tong drinking alone and instantly lit up!
"Hey hey, beauty, isn't it lonely drinking by yourself? Want me to keep you company?"
The man in the florid shirt quickly approached Lin Tong, raising his glass and smiling lecherously.
"Who are you? Please leave, I don't know you!"
Lin Tong frowned, uncomfortable with the stranger's gaze.
"Not knowing each other doesn't matter; let's make friends! Beauty, how about I treat you to a drink? I know the owner here; order whatever you like, it's on me!"
Unperturbed by her reaction, the man sat down opposite her after he finished speaking.
He had been entertaining a big brother at the bar tonight and had gotten a bit too drunk. After stepping out for some fresh air, he never expected to run into such an exquisite beauty— even more attractive than the one he had seen on the train that morning!
His attempt that morning had been spoiled by a country bumpkin. So he made a call to have some people wait at the station to intercept the guy. However, the lad ran faster than a rabbit and was gone as soon as the train arrived.
Little did he know his luck would be so good that he'd bump into an even more exquisite beauty just by stepping out to the restroom, and naturally, he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip by.
"Please leave quickly, my husband will be back any moment!" Lin Tong said coldly, glancing in the direction Ye Xuan had left.
"Your husband? Heh heh, let him get lost!" The man in the florid shirt wore an arrogant expression.
"What if he doesn't get lost?"
A playful voice came from behind.
"Not get lost? Here, I call the shots! If I say he should get lost, he must get lost! If not, I'll break his limbs and make him kneel and call me grandpa!"
The man spoke viciously, showing off his supposed dominance in front of a beauty.
Hearing the malicious words of the man in the florid shirt, the bartender and other patrons looked on with amusement, watching the situation unfold.
With haughty arrogance, the man carried the air as if he looked down on everyone through his nose.
Turning his head, he found the beautiful woman across from him smiling, and in that moment, he was utterly intoxicated!
What does a Heavenly Immortal look like?
The man in the florid shirt felt like he was gazing upon one right now!
And this Heavenly Immortal beauty was even smiling at him.
His face broke into a lecherous grin, drool nearly spilling out, as a greedy hand reached towards Lin Tong's chest, his mouth chuckling lewdly, "Beauty, you know my power now, right? Come with me tonight; I guarantee you'll feel ecstasy so intense, you'd wish to ascend to heaven!"
But before his hand could land, a large hand suddenly reached out and aggressively grabbed his.
At the same time, an indifferent voice said, "You want me to get lost? Sorry, I don't know how to write the word 'get lost'. Why don't you demonstrate for me, how to get lost?"
