Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 136 Meeting

Upon hearing this, the Shadow King's eyes flashed with curiosity, and he pressed on, "Oh? What secret is it? Tell me so that I may broaden my horizons."

The woman chuckled softly, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells. Then, she leaned closer to the Shadow King, whispered in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Actually... my surname isn't Huang at all~, my real name is He Yuan."

The Shadow King's previously nonchalant expression suddenly froze, and his pupils contracted sharply.

"you…"

The woman moved with ghostly speed, instantly appearing behind the man like lightning. Before he could react, her slender yet powerful hands were already tightly gripping his neck.

Shadow King's eyes widened in terror, and he could only manage a muffled sob: "You could be...?" However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from those iron-like hands.

He tried to call for his men to come and save him, but the woman was clearly an experienced and battle-hardened woman. She covered the Shadow King's mouth tightly, preventing him from making even a single cry for help.

"Go to hell and be buried with my sister!" The woman's eyes burned with raging fury, her hatred seeming to incinerate the man before her. She gritted her teeth and bit down hard on the Shadow King's neck. Clearly, her hatred for him was extreme! In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!

Shadow King writhed in agony, attempting a final stand. But as time ticked by, his strength dwindled. Finally, after a fierce struggle, Shadow King foamed at the mouth, his body slowly ceased moving, and he lost all signs of life.

The once invincible King of Shadows died in such a tragic way in his bed.

He Yuan picked up the bed sheet and vigorously wiped her blood-stained hands. Her gaze was cold, like a cheetah poised to pounce, as she searched the room for anything useful. Finally, she found a dagger.

He Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions within her. At this moment, the flames of revenge burned fiercely in her heart. Her memory was exceptional; she clearly remembered the path she had taken to get here. Moreover, she was determined to rescue the innocent girls trapped in the cages.

At that moment, the two guards standing at the door were completely unaware of the approaching danger. They did not notice that the door behind them, which had been tightly closed, was slowly opening.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by like a ghost, and one of the guards was killed before he could even make a sound.

The other guard was terrified and tried to shout for help, but it was too late.

He Yuan rushed forward like lightning, dragged him into the house, and quickly held a dagger to his throat.

"Tell me quickly! Where is that bastard Cao Shou now?"

...

As the sun was setting, the Knights Guild members entered the city without much resistance, and the accompanying national special forces team also infiltrated as bodyguards.

The people of X City said that the women they had captured were being held in various locations throughout X City, and they were going to search for them one by one. Originally, the people of X City planned to send someone to follow them, but Ye Chen said something, and the people of X City abandoned this plan.

Zhuang Changwu had a tiny camera on his chest, and the images captured on it were also visible to Lin Mu and the others.

This was Zhuang Changwu's first time setting foot in this place. However, when he actually found himself in the city, the sight before him left him speechless and deeply shocked.

The group was walking down a narrow, dirty street. Suddenly, their gaze was drawn to a thin little boy. The boy was bending down, picking up a stained and filthy loaf of bread from the dusty ground. Before the boy could even put the bread in his mouth, several burly men pounced on him like hungry wolves.

The men, their faces contorted with malice, began punching and kicking the little boy without a word. The boy was powerless to fight back, and could only curl up in a corner, clutching his head and letting out pitiful cries.

"He... he's so pitiful!" Zhuang Changwu stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before him, a surge of intense pity welling up within him. He instinctively stepped forward, wanting to stop the men's brutality.

However, Wu Pingtian, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and grabbed Zhuang Changwu, whispering, "Don't be impulsive!"

Zhuang Changwu stopped and turned to look at Wu Pingtian, his eyes filled with incomprehension and anger. But Wu Pingtian simply shook his head.

Zhuang Changwu had no choice but to turn his gaze back to the poor little boy. The boy was now covered in wounds, his clothes torn and tattered. His once clear eyes were now filled with fear and despair, and tears streamed down his face.

Zhuang Changwu watched all of this with his own eyes wide open, feeling as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of tiny needles at the same time, the pain was unbearable.

Ye Chen walked slowly with steady steps, his face showing concern, and gently comforted him, "Don't be sad, I will take action after you successfully leave the city!" However, Zhuang Changwu seemed not to hear him and ignored Ye Chen.

Although he had only known Ye Chen for a short time, he felt a deep sense of disgust for no apparent reason, as if there was something about this person that he found extremely repulsive. However, he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost! In the blink of an eye, this mysterious man had rushed into the crowd, his movements swift and clean. In just a few moves, the men who had been so aggressive were rendered powerless and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Upon seeing this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he was secretly amazed. This person's skills were in no way inferior to his own.

Immediately, the man went to the little boy's side, carefully helped him up, and gently brushed the dust off him. The little boy looked up gratefully, grinned at the man, revealing a set of black teeth, and said in a clear voice, "Thank you, Brother Xiaotian!"

Hearing the little boy's thanks, the man smiled slightly and whispered, "Good boy, hurry home, it's getting dark." After saying that, the man turned to look at the crowd in the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he gently tilted his head to signal them to follow.

Ye Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, instantly understood and lowered his voice, "He should be our contact for this operation." However, Zhuang Changwu was completely astonished, his mouth agape, before he stammered, "He...he's not..."

...

Li Yuetian arrived at a bar.

After that day, the police took his phone number when they took his statement, and the police also called him the day after Lin Yue's incident.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuetian came here without any hesitation.

The bar was large, but next to the staircase leading to the basement was a sign for the staff entrance. Li Yuetian walked straight down, and after a few turns, he even used his fingerprint to pass through a door.

After entering, he was quickly stopped again: "Stop! You can't go through here!"

"I'm looking for your boss, Li Yuejiao! My name is Li Yuetian." Li Yuetian gave his name.

Before even meeting him, the boy was able to call the boss by name, so the man didn't dare to be careless and immediately made a phone call.

Soon, the man said respectfully, "Oh, it's Mr. Li! Please come in! The boss is waiting for you inside!"
