Chapter 503: Challenging a Master
But Chen Tiequan didn't know what his son had gone through at the time. If he had known what kind of situation his son had encountered, he definitely would have understood how his son felt now.
"No matter what, I'm going to see this through to the end. I'll make sure that person pays the price. So don't worry, son. Just focus on recovering—I'll handle everything else."
"But, Father—"
"No more talking. Leave the rest to me. Just stay here and rest. From what I can tell, your body will need some time to fully recover."
Chen Tiequan thought to himself that his son had already ended up in this state, so he absolutely had to go after the person responsible and make him pay in blood.
"Alright, then."
In any case, he was already home now, so Chen Tiequan figured he might as well get some proper rest first. As for the rest, there was no point thinking about it too much.
Because to him, at this moment, he had no choice but to listen to his father. In this household, Chen Tiequan had always been the ultimate authority.
Chen Tiequan then called in some of his subordinates, gathered information on the incident, and pulled up Ye Tian's file. After reviewing it, he said coldly, "So it's just some punk like this? And yet he managed to do that to my son? Outrageous!"
One of the men who had previously suffered at Ye Tian's hands warned, "My lord, he's extremely powerful. If we're going after him, we'll need someone truly skilled."
"How strong is he, exactly?"
"Well, the young lord brought quite a few men that day, but in the blink of an eye, they were all taken down."
"Something like that actually happened?"
Chen Tiequan made up his mind—no matter what, he had to teach this man a lesson. At that moment, he shouted, "Shadow! Come out!"
"Yes, my lord."
Shadow was the strongest assassin under Chen Tiequan's command. Right now, Chen Tiequan gave a cold smile and said, "No matter how strong the opponent may be, do you think they could be stronger than Shadow? I refuse to believe it. Shadow, do you think his strength surpasses yours?"
"I don't believe it either. If you want to deal with him, then let me go. I'm confident I can handle him!"
"Good. I believe in you!"
Not long after, a citywide search for Ye Tian was underway.
"Ye Tian! Who is Ye Tian!?"
At that moment, Ye Tian was still eating, completely unaware that he had become a wanted man across the city.
"Is it good?" Han Zhengyun looked at Ye Tian. She had just cooked braised pork, and right now, Ye Tian was digging in heartily, clearly enjoying every bite.
"Mmm, I have to say—your braised pork is absolutely delicious! Just one bite and the juices are flowing!"
"Of course it is! How could my braised pork be anything less? If you like it, eat as much as you want!"
"Will do!"
Ye Tian kept eating, one bite after another. But as the two of them were still enjoying their meal, a sudden shout rang out from outside: "Ye Tian! He should be in there! Get in there and drag him out!"
"What!?"
Ye Tian hadn't expected something like this to happen so suddenly. It caught him completely off guard.
After all, he had already given Chen Taotian that pill. As long as he willed it, Chen Taotian would die instantly.
So why was someone still coming after him now? Did they not believe what he said?
At that very moment, the door was kicked open, and a squad of guards stormed in.
"Ye Tian! Who is Ye Tian!?"
Chen Tiequan had personally led the group. His face was grim. Ye Tian stood up and said, "I am. And who are you?"
"I'm Chen Tiequan, father of Chen Taotian, and a prince of the realm."
"Oh? So you're here to avenge your son? But there's one thing I think you should know: your son's life is in my hands. With just a thought, I could end it. You understand that, don't you?"
"Hmph! He told me that you fed him some kind of pill, and that one thought from you could kill him. But I don't believe a word of it. I came here today to capture you. You dared to do that to my son, and now I'm going to make you pay. I'll drag you back and make sure you suffer."
"As a father, shouldn't you be thinking about your son's safety first? What I just said is true—his life is indeed in my hands. Whether he lives or dies is entirely up to me."
"I'm not falling for your lies, Ye Tian. Go ahead and make your move now. Save me the trouble of doing it myself!"
"You expect me to surrender? Do you really think that's going to happen, Prince?"
"So you acknowledge my title, and yet you still refuse to surrender? Do you think you can take on the elite warriors I brought with me? I didn't come here unprepared. These men are the best of the best. If you resist now, things will end very badly for you!"
"The best of the best, huh? Now you've got me interested. I've been in this world for a while, but I've never had the chance to face a truly formidable opponent."
If these men really were top-tier warriors, then Ye Tian was eager to test his strength against them.
Fighting with warriors chosen from ten thousand—it would certainly be an extraordinary experience.
"Oh? You want to challenge my men? In that case, I'll give you the chance. Then you'll understand just how powerful they really are!"
He turned to one of the people beside him. "Ahu, go show him what you're made of."
"Yes, my lord."
Ahu stepped forward, looked at Ye Tian, and said coldly, "Kid, I'll let you have the first three moves."
