Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 574: Chapter 573: [Fond of Someone]

In Li Xiaoqing’s room, Ye Tianchen and Li Xiaoqing staged a passionate encounter. Ye Tianchen, himself a man of rich emotions and strong loyalty, came from the apocalypse, a world that blended fantasy with modernity where society was cannibalistic, with no guarantee of survival to the next day. Even the strongest fell, and finding true love between men and women was a daunting task. Survival was the priority, and love was a secondary concern!

”Pick the flowers while you can, for waiting often means picking bare branches.” Ye Tianchen cherished every relationship and was true to every woman who loved him. Across the journey of love, one encounters many loves in a lifetime, whether loving others or being loved. For Ye Tianchen, he treasured these deeply because he highly valued loyalty. Even if a man has several wives, if they all love him and live harmoniously, Ye Tianchen saw no issue with that. Why be fixated on a single belief? Moreover, Ye Tianchen was not originally from Earth.

The next morning, when Li Xiaoqing woke up, she realized Ye Tianchen was already gone. She didn’t look everywhere for him or say anything but just got up and dressed herself. Li Xiaoqing was a sensible woman. She understood that to be Ye Tianchen’s woman, she needed to be clever and sensible. Ye Tianchen was a man with many tasks, destined not to belong to just one woman. He was a king, a man on his way to becoming a legend. To be his woman meant to learn to wait and to support him silently, without binding him, otherwise, she would not be the woman who loved Ye Tianchen most, but rather a burden and encumbrance to him.

All members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings were assembled, all in high spirits sharing joy the night before. The tables outside were already cleaned of food and beer, which Wuxue had taken care of early in the morning. Yan Tianchen also rose early, and seeing this scene, he truly felt that Wuxue was a remarkable talent, meticulous in everything and never picking what should or shouldn’t be done. As long as it was about the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, everyone should cooperate wholeheartedly. Perhaps one day when he went to Emperor Star, he might even leave the Thirteen Heavenly Kings in Wuxue’s charge.

”Big brother, good morning!” all members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings shouted together.

Ye Tianchen walked over and looked at each member, then said earnestly, ”The Thirteen Heavenly Kings haven’t been established for long, but we have already been through several battles. We have shared life and death, and I believe this loyalty is irreplaceable. All this is just the beginning. What I want to tell you is, only continuous cultivation can strengthen your power, and only then can you excel in battle after battle, otherwise no one can save you.”

”Yes, big brother!” all the members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings responded in unison.

”Alright, no more dawdling. Those whose names I call, step forward... Bao Tianglong, Hu Long, Lin Duan, Zhang Tian, Zhang Di, Li San!”

After Ye Tianchen read the names, the six who were called stepped forward, while the others remained in place. Ye Tianchen continued, ”The six whose names were called will follow me to the U.S. for a mission. The rest will stay in Capital City under the full authority of Wuxue and Wang Jie. Cultivate every day without interruption. From now on, every two months, we will assess the strength of all members of the Thirteen Heavenly Kings, which will determine your treatment and frequency of missions!”

After finishing his speech, Ye Tianchen walked forward, followed by Bao Tianglong, Hu Long, Lin Duan, Zhang Tian, Zhang Di, and Li San, who were selected to accompany him to the U.S. This mission to the U.S. was to rescue Ling Yuxun and his grandfather Ling Shuanghe. The U.S. government, shameless and thieving, even deployed special forces from the Marine Corps, clearly intent on keeping the Ling family in New York. If Ling Shuanghe firmly refused to change his plans and develop in the U.S., it wasn’t impossible for the U.S. government to kill him, which is why Ling Yuxun returned so hurriedly and covertly to New York, typical of the U.S. government’s thuggish behavior.

Thus, rescuing Ling Yuxun and his grandson Ling Shuanghe was not a simple task. Unlike the previous time when Rumei went to the U.S. to exchange secret information, everyone involved was capable. Although the U.S. government was obstructing, they still had some interests; they just didn’t want Rumei and others to successfully bring the nuclear weapons information back. In a sense, they didn’t fully exert themselves to stop it, nor did they anticipate that Ye Tianchen would sweep through Washington D.C., storming directly into the White House.

For the U.S., a superpower, their strength was not limited to what was apparent. Ye Tianchen understood that his sweeping through Washington D.C. that day caught the U.S. government off-guard; they never imagined someone would dare stir trouble in their capital. Hence, the U.S. didn’t deploy their powerful figures adequately. Even so, a man named Thomas appeared, the captain of the U.S. Superpower Special Attack Team and a mighty Water Element Superpower User. Ye Tianchen only managed a draw with Thomas.

This time, as the Ling family planned to relocate to China and transfer all their funds, it dealt another huge blow to the already recession-struck U.S. economy, which was purely detrimental with no benefits for the U.S. Therefore, the U.S. government’s reaction was so strong and intense, using both threats and inducements. In just a few days, they gave Ling Shuanghe a final ultimatum. Clearly, if Ling Shuanghe refused to continue developing in the U.S., they might kill him, letting his other children who agreed to stay in the U.S. take over the Ling family and become puppets for the U.S. government. Therefore, successfully accomplishing this mission would not be easy. Ye Tianchen was overwhelmed; he had several plans in mind but was uncertain how smoothly they could be executed.

”Big brother, big brother... wait for me!”

As Ye Tianchen and the others reached the school gate, Wang Jie came running out, shouting frantically. Without a doubt, Ye Tianchen already guessed what Wang Jie was thinking.

”What is it?” Ye Tianchen asked, feigning annoyance.

”Big brother, I... hehe, I have a little request!” Wang Jie said awkwardly and softly.

”What request?” Ye Tianchen asked, pretending not to know.

”This... this time, can I also go to M Country with you... even if just to run errands, I’m willing. I’ve never been to M Country, and I really want to see what blonde girls look like...” Wang Jie said with a sycophantic smile.

”Want to see blonde girls, huh? There are plenty of them in Capital City, staying here and seeing them is just the same,” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”Big brother, it’s different seeing them in our own country compared to M Country, just let me go with you...” Wang Jie hurriedly said.

”Wang Jie, I think you don’t just want to see blondes, you want to hit on them! We are going there on a mission this time, we don’t have time for you to be chasing girls. Besides, your English isn’t up to par...” Bao Tianglong said with a laugh.

”Get lost, Old Bao. You’ve been in M Country for such a long time, you probably look down on going there now. Give me your spot!” Wang Jie said, looking at Bao Tianglong.

”Do you think that’s possible?” Bao Tianglong retorted.

”Old Bao, that’s where you’re wrong. You won’t even help out a brother with this small favor, that’s going too far!” Wang Jie said after glancing at Bao Tianglong.

Hearing Wang Jie’s words, the others couldn’t help but laugh. Everyone understood what Wang Jie was up to. He was a warmonger, aware that this time big brother Ye Tianchen was selecting people to go to M Country for a mission that was no joke. It definitely involved fierce fighting, yet unexpectedly Ye Tianchen had opted to leave him at home. How could the ever-eager Wang Jie stand that? Of course, he had to shamelessly tag along; otherwise, he would miss out on a massive battle.

”It’s not that I won’t help you, but it’s big brother’s choice. Go talk to the big brother...” Bao Tianglong said with a smug look.

”You... boss, I will be very obedient, I’ll be good!” Wang Jie said with a sly smile to Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Wang Jie. He had not chosen Wang Jie for the mission to M Country because leaving a Superpower User like Wuxue at home was already enough. The key issue was Wang Jie’s impulsiveness; he was strong but very rash. M Country was not like other places; if Wang Jie acted impulsively, it could very well disrupt his plans and cause incalculable damage. Therefore, Ye Tianchen left Wang Jie in Capital City as a precaution.

”Alright then, you can come with us, but you must promise me one thing: follow commands, and if you act on your own, don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Ye Tianchen said sternly.

”Don’t worry, big brother. Once we’re in M Country, I’ll do whatever you say, I won’t be like Old Bao, always defying orders and singing a different tune. I suggest we lock him up!” Wang Jie said with a chuckle.

”You... you’re clearly out for revenge and slander!” Bao Tianglong said, speechless as he glanced at Wang Jie. (To be continued.
