Chapter 273: Killing People and Drinking Wine
Everyone nodded upon hearing him, their eyes firm.
After arranging everything, the six of them—Ye Chen and Yu Nian—returned to the house they had stayed in before.
The house was still empty with no one living there.
There happened to be another apartment next door, just right for three people.
Lying down on the large sofa after getting back inside.
Zhu Qiang sighed and said, "Oh, the last time we stayed here, we were on the run. Now that we're back, we're the owners. Truly, times change!"
The night had already fallen outside, while Tang Qiu went downstairs to the supermarket and bought a lot of things.
The three girls were busy in the kitchen; today is a bit of a housewarming celebration.
Of course, it needed some proper celebration.
Ye Chen also sent a message in the War Alliance Group, asking Zhang Haonan and others to take the brothers out for a hearty meal.
Ye Chen would cover all the expenses.
"Smells so good!" Zhu Qiang sniffed the air blissfully and said.
Piggy Dragon trotted into the kitchen, and Blood Asura, Genggeng, and the other three had also been let out by Ye Chen, playing on the side.
Flower Fairy and Beauty Snake were among them too.
During this time, Vajra Ape and Cow Warrior had almost become sworn brothers, getting along extremely well.
"Piggy Dragon, if you dare steal food again, be careful, I'll cut your ear off and eat it as pig ear!"
Lin Nuoyi's roar echoed from the kitchen.
Piggy Dragon scurried out, holding a carrot in its mouth.
With a grin on its face, it looked as happy as a child who had stolen candy.
Piggy Dragon ran to Blood Asura, lifted its head, as if asking whether Blood Asura wanted to eat.
Blood Asura patted Piggy Dragon's head and said, "You eat it, I'm not having it."
Piggy Dragon raised its head and gobbled down the whole carrot.
"Beauty Snake, stop pulling my ears, they'll lose hair!" Genggeng pouted and whimpered.
Beauty Snake just giggled.
For a moment, Genggeng became the pet of the group, everyone adored it dearly.
"Tidy up the table, it's almost ready!"
Yu Nian's voice came from the kitchen.
A few of them tidied up the table.
Shortly after, dish after dish was brought out and placed on the table.
They looked colorful, fragrant, and appetizing.
Zhu Qiang sniffed hard and said, "Damn, it smells good!"
Oink oink oink!
Piggy Dragon jogged over, its little paws resting on the table, oinking non-stop.
Looking very anxious indeed.
Whack!
Zhu Qiang smacked Piggy Dragon on the head and scolded, "Look at you, haven't even eaten yet, why are you in such a hurry? If you keep this up, I'll lock you outside, believe it or not."
Piggy Dragon instantly calmed down, happily leaving after the smack.
After all, Zhu Qiang was serious with his threats, often following through.
Typically, Piggy Dragon had taken quite a few beatings.
Once all the dishes were served, everyone gathered around the table to sit down.
A group of little ones also sat by the side.
Vajra Ape and Cow Warrior, those two big fellows, sat on the floor.
On the floor lay roasted chicken, roast duck, barbecue, and other goodies.
No other way, these two had enormous appetites, one meal could match what four of Blood Asura ate.
Tang Qiu took out two packs of beer from under the table and smiled, "Shall we have some drinks?"
"Let's have some!"
They opened the beer and each got two cans.
Piggy Dragon was quite smart; unable to lift the beer to its mouth with its short legs, it used its wings to grip it and feed itself.
Among those at the table, the only one who could match Piggy Dragon's appetite was Genggeng.
Though Genggeng was small, its appetite was truly enormous.
Bite after bite, non-stop.
While eating, it murmured, "This is tasty, this is tasty, this is tasty too, my, how is everything so tasty."
"Genggeng, eat slowly, don't choke," Xu Xiao cautioned, sitting beside Genggeng.
"Don't worry, I won't choke, I'm straightforward," declared Genggeng.
"Haha! Genggeng is so cute!" Lin Nuoyi patted Genggeng's head and said.
Genggeng swayed, "Don't pat my head while I'm eating, it's uncomfortable."
"Hahaha!"
The room was especially cozy.
Meanwhile, in the Law Enforcement Alliance's meeting room.
Wu Shangyin and others sat together.
Each had a rather sour expression.
"Where are Vice Commanders Yao Gang and Yang Rui?"
Yao Gang and Yang Rui were newly appointed vice commanders, directly transferred from the Law Enforcement Alliance Headquarters.
Whereas Jin Bing had been demoted, a reason for his resentment toward Ye Chen.
Elder Liu said, "Those two aren't like us, they don't bother attending these meetings. When Commander Jin Bing was around, due to him, they might've shown up occasionally, but now that Commander Jin Bing is dead, they'd never mingle with us."
"Of course, they're smart people. In their eyes, we're nothing. They'd despise attending such gatherings! They're probably scrambling to get in Ye Chen's good graces."
It was evident that everyone was quite displeased with Ye Chen.
Wu Shangyin, with a gloomy face, asked, "What now? Don't forget, we all targeted him before. Now that he's the boss of the Law Enforcement Alliance, will we still have good days to come?"
"As you say, but what can we do? Back then, Ye Chen was just a small fry. Who knew he'd become so powerful? Even Jin Bing, such a strong commander, was killed by him with just two strikes. Opposing him is courting death!"
"Then what about our industries? Our plans? Are you sure the people working under you won't snitch? What we've done, they aren't things to be seen by the light of day, don't forget how you got your levels, Monkey, when was the last time you hunted a monster?" Wu Shangyin whispered.
A slender man with dark circles said, "It's been more than half a month."
"More than half a month without hunting a single monster, how do you think you reached level 19! If Ye Chen finds out, do you think you'll escape unscathed?"
Wu Shangyin was now a Grand Elder, a position just below the two vice commanders.
Monkey fell silent and didn't utter a word.
If Ye Chen found out what they had done, it would definitely be life-threatening!
Someone suddenly said, "Right, isn't that old codger Li Jingshan the chief? We could approach him, if he covers for us, perhaps we'll be fine."
Wu Shangyin's eyes lit up and he said, "Right, why didn't I think of that? That old codger Li Jingshan was involved in our shady dealings before as well, he wouldn't turn a blind eye!"
In their eyes, Li Jingshan owed his status entirely to his disciple Tang Qiu.
Ye Chen might not even be aware of Li Jingshan's doings.
"Right, what about Rakshasa? He's the commander. Maybe Li Jingshan is fine, but we'll be under Rakshasa's control in the future, and his relationship with Ye Chen is anything but ordinary!"
