NOVEL WEB Chapter 145: The Downfall of the Protagonist
The overt and covert between Zhao Yingxuan and Gu Wanyu evolved into an outright battle, at which point Chen Luo couldn’t help but intervene. He simply scooped up each woman and carried them into the bedroom.
How do you handle disobedient women?
Quite straightforwardly, discipline them until they comply. To deal with these two women, Chen Luo momentarily put aside his plans for Ye Chen.
However, Chen Luo had people keeping an eye on Ye Chen, so there was no way for him to escape. Even if Ye Chen did run away, Chen Luo could easily locate him through the system. Besides, Ye Chen wouldn’t flee, he wouldn’t leave until he had his revenge.
Disdainfully looking at Li Ting after being expelled from the Li family, Ye Chen wondered, “Should I keep this woman with me?”
Now that Li Ting wasn’t as useful as before, but as long as he hadn’t given up on the Li family, she still had her uses.
“Follow me,” he said to Li Ting after a long consideration, his voice cold. He couldn’t give up on the Li family, so Li Ting still had a role to play.
Expelled and with nowhere to go, not to mention penniless, Li Ting had no choice but to follow Ye Chen.
After finding a temporary place to stay, Ye Chen began investigating Luo Mingde’s movements.
“He really didn’t take my warning seriously.”
After getting a clear picture of Luo Mingde’s actions, a cold light flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes. He was ready to play the role of an assassin this time.
Ye Chen had also threatened Luo Mingde before, expecting him to stay put within the Luo family’s confines and not dare to venture out. Surprisingly, Luo Mingde still dared to visit the Luo family’s corporation.
Carrying a case, Ye Chen walked to the top of a skyscraper. He opened the case to reveal an unassembled sniper rifle inside. This rifle was acquired through the Li family’s channels before Li Zhong’s death.
From a high vantage point, Ye Chen took aim at Luo Mingde, a cold smile on his face.
“No matter how powerful you are, under my gun, you’re still going to end up a ghost.”
Even without his right arm, Ye Chen’s shooting skills were barely affected. He was confident he could take Luo Mingde’s life with a single shot.
With a loud bang, Luo Mingde, who was in his office, was shot and killed instantly with a headshot. After confirming Luo Mingde’s death, Ye Chen immediately discarded the sniper rifle and left the scene. He would have preferred to take the gun with him, but it was too conspicuous, especially with heightened security in Magic City, making it easy to get caught.
Ye Chen thought he had killed Luo Mingde, but he had underestimated Luo Mingde’s cunning. But the person Ye Chen killed was not the real Luo Mingde but a body double he had found. Sending out the body double was a tactic to test whether Ye Chen dared to act on his threat. With the threat from Ye Chen and the warning from Chen Luo, it was impossible for Luo Mingde not to be cautious.
“Chairman, the body double has been killed. The assassin used a sniper rifle, but the murderer has not been found,” reported one of Luo Mingde’s confidants.
“He actually dared to make a move to kill me with a sniper rifle.”
Luo Mingde was furious yet relieved that he had sent a body double instead of going himself. Otherwise, no matter how many bodyguards he had, they couldn’t protect him from a sniper rifle’s long-range headshot.
“Track down Ye Chen’s whereabouts and kill him at all costs. I’ll handle the aftermath. Just focus on killing Ye Chen.”
Initially, Luo Mingde considered capturing Ye Chen alive, but now he thought it safer to just kill him. Ye Chen was too dangerous to be left alive, and Luo preferred not to live in constant fear.
“Zixuan, your vengeance is near.”
Luo Mingde dispatched his men to track Ye Chen, but Ye Chen had already gone into hiding, anticipating the Luo family’s retaliation. He stayed in a spot so hidden that no outsider could find him.
“Cunning old fox! It was just a body double.”
Ye Chen learned from the news that Luo Mingde wasn’t dead, it was just his body double. Who would have thought that he had a body double prepared? Even Chen Luo was surprised that Luo had escaped Ye Chen’s assassination attempt.
“Is Ye Chen’s location confirmed?”
“Yes, Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju are keeping an eye on him,” Bai Meixiang informed Chen Luo.
Hearing that Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju were monitoring Ye Chen, Chen Luo felt reassured, knowing it would be difficult for Ye Chen to shake them off.
As for Ye Chen fighting against them? Ye Chen, with a missing arm, might not necessarily be a match for the two of them in terms of combat power.
Qiu Zhu and Dong Ju were equipped with sophisticated weapons, far beyond what Ah Da and his crew could compare to, and they could also suppress Ye Chen. If Ye Chen didn’t have the protagonist’s aura, it would not be a problem for the two of them to kill Ye Chen.
“Give me Ye Chen’s location, I’ll go there myself.”
Of course, Chen Luo wanted to personally make sure of Ye Chen’s death for peace of mind. Soon, Bai Meixiang sent Chen Luo a location.
“I want to go too.”
Xiao Qingxue, knowing Chen Luo was going to deal with Ye Chen, wanted to join him to witness Ye Chen’s death firsthand.
“Alright, come with me then.”
Chen Luo didn’t refuse Xiao Qingxue.
About two hours later, Chen Luo and Xiao Qingxue arrived at a forest park, which had already been cleared out by Bai Meixiang’s people. Bai Meixiang was also there waiting for Chen Luo.
“Choosing to hide in this place, huh? Ye Chen picked a good spot.”
The forest park was densely populated, and normally no one would suspect Ye Chen of hiding there. No wonder Luo Mingde’s men couldn’t find Ye Chen.
Chen Luo could inform Luo Mingde, tell him Ye Chen’s location, and join forces with him to deal with Ye Chen. However, there was no need. Even if Luo Mingde sent people, they would be of no use. His men might handle ordinary people well, but against protagonist Ye Chen, they’d be mere cannon fodder coming to offer their heads.
“Ye Chen, your end has come.”
Chen Luo’s gaze was sharp. To deal with Ye Chen, Chen Luo had deliberately enhanced his power, now possessing an overwhelming advantage against Ye Chen.
【Name】: Chen Luo
【Age/Lifespan】: 24/93
【Strength】: 103
【Agility】: 105
【Constitution】: 102
【Spirit】: 100
【Skills】: Combat (Master level), Marksmanship (Master level)
【Special】: Destiny Antagonist Aura (Primary)
【Items】: Storage Ring (1 cubic meter), Desert Eagles x2, Glock x1, Bulletproof Suit, Human Skin Mask.
Now, Chen Luo’s four attributes surpassed 100, ten times that of an average adult.
Although Ye Chen was formidable, his attributes in all aspects definitely did not exceed seventy, at most around sixty. Even a slight difference meant a world of difference in combat power, let alone such a large gap.
Chen Luo’s confidence in killing Ye Chen wasn’t solely due to his superior strength. He had been stronger than Ye Chen for a while now, yet several assassination attempts still failed.
However, things were different now. Ye Chen’s protagonist’s aura had been diminished to its lowest combined with the effect of Chen Luo’s new Destiny Antagonist Aura gave Chen Luo the confidence to eliminate Ye Chen.
Chen Luo directly led his team into the forest park.
At this moment, Ye Chen inside the park, perhaps sensing danger, felt increasingly restless and anxious.
