Chapter 133: Heading to the Peninsula

"Ye Tian, you have a lot of nerve, daring time and again to kill members of our Ability Federation!"

"I am giving you three days to report to our Ability Federation’s Peninsula branch. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Early the next morning, Ye Tian received this international call. The person on the other end claimed to be Kazik, the leader of the Ability Federation’s Peninsula branch.

"Idiot."

Ye Tian replied with just one word before hanging up. These foreigners, on the soil of his Dragon Kingdom, still dared to be so arrogant! The Aceves family had acted lawlessly in the Dragon Kingdom, harming young girls, and the Ability Federation had not only turned a blind eye but had actually aided and abetted them, and now they were even coming after him! What made Ye Tian want to laugh the most was that the Ability Federation and the Aceves family were currently under investigation; with their own survival in jeopardy, they were still thinking about attacking him.

"You won't be happy unless you get me killed, will you?"

Ye Tian was amused by these idiots. Did they really think that because they didn't dare to come to the Dragon Kingdom, they could lure him out to kill him? How brainless would one have to be to fall for their trap? He decided to leave these fools hanging for now; he had matters to attend to and would consider whether or not to go later. Today, he had to meet with the high-level officials in the Central Capital to discuss resource allocation; he had no time to deal with these clowns.

However, before he could put his phone away, it rang again. It was Kazik.

"Ye Tian!" Kazik roared in anger. "Can you let me finish speaking!"

"No." Ye Tian said expressionlessly, then hung up again.

"Ahhhhh!"

"I'm going to explode with rage!"

Far across the ocean, Kazik slammed his fist onto his desk, splitting it in half. His chubby body shook, resembling a wobbling white gelatinous mass. This Ye Tian simply had no respect for anyone!

"What should we do, Mr. Kazik? Ye Tian doesn't even want to communicate. It seems very difficult to lure him out," said a tall, sturdy white man in military uniform standing beside him. "We have already followed your instructions and captured one of his women to the Peninsula. If he doesn't come, should we send her back?"

"Send her back?" Kazik sneered. "Since Ye Tian isn't taking the bait, I will personally torment his woman. When he finally realizes what's happening, he will surely come running to me in a rage for revenge."

"By then, our plan will still succeed."

However, just as the two were talking, Kazik’s phone lit up again.

"Ye Tian, he's calling back!"

"You kidnapped Gu Qing'er?" The man’s voice on the other end was filled with fury.

"Haha, Ye Tian, you finally found out, aren't you angry?"

"Who is Ye Tian? This is Gu Cheng, head of the Dragon Kingdom’s Gu family. You kidnapped my granddaughter, what exactly is your goal!"

"The Gu family of the Dragon Kingdom, Gu Cheng?" Kazik was stunned for a moment. The bait he threw hadn't hooked Ye Tian, so how did he end up hooking someone from the Gu family?

"Heh, does the Ability Federation need your permission to do things?" Kazik hesitated for a second before sneering. It was just a prominent family in the Dragon Kingdom; strong, yes, but ultimately just local thugs who posed no threat to the Peninsula branch. Even if Kazik were to humiliate and kill Gu Qing'er, what could Gu Cheng do to him?

"You're courting death!"

Gu Cheng’s angry roar came from the other side, but a second later, the sound cut off—Kazik had hung up.

"Pfft, what is the Gu family?" Kazik looked disdainful. These old-school ancient martial arts families were always worried about the continuation of their bloodlines, and each generation of their elites was worse than the last. By now, the Gu family didn't have many Martial King experts left, and the ones who were alive were just fossils from the last century. They posed far less of a threat to the Ability Federation than a single Ye Tian!

"Ye Tian! That is a real threat!"

"He is so young and can already kill a first-tier Martial King. Although I don't understand the internal alchemy of the Dragon Kingdom, to possess such combat power at the age of twenty... if he continues like this, in fifty or even a hundred years, his talent could deal a huge blow to our Ability Federation's international influence!"

He had to be controlled! Or at the very least, completely erased from this world. The Ability Federation had spent years eliminating dissidents and expanding its power, always adhering to one principle: if I cannot have it, neither can you! The Dragon Kingdom was not short of geniuses, but geniuses as monstrous as him were extremely rare. Even when the Japanese assassinated Tang Wanyue, the general known as the top genius, the Ability Federation hadn't rushed to intervene. There was only one reason: Tang Wanyue’s existence wasn't enough to affect the Peninsula. But Ye Tian could!

"Director Kazik, do you think Ye Tian will come? With his talent and strength, wouldn't the Dragon Kingdom send a high-tier Martial King to protect him?"

"Or perhaps just send someone to negotiate?"

"No, he will definitely come!" Kazik explained smugly. "Based on the information I have, Ye Tian is arrogant and self-reliant; he dislikes interacting with the Dragon Kingdom's officialdom and likes to handle everything himself. And since the Gu family knows their young mistress has been abducted to the Peninsula, they will naturally notify Ye Tian, who is close to them. When that time comes, he will have to come, whether he wants to or not!"

At this, Kazik’s smile widened. Once he arrives, he will never leave! Their Peninsula branch had three second-tier Martial Kings and one peak second-tier Martial King stationed there. That peak second-tier expert was ranked 587th on the World Martial Arts Rankings!

...

At the same time, in the Dragon Kingdom, Ye Tian was sitting in an SUV driven by Zhu Yun'er. They were on their way to the high-level compound in the Central Capital to discuss resource allocation. A strange Dragon Kingdom number called.

"Ye Tian, you little beast, you couldn't even protect my granddaughter!"

The voice on the other end was an old man screaming insults, his tone filled with boundless rage.

"Who the hell are you?"

Anyone would be inclined to swear after being hit with such an inexplicable verbal assault. Ye Tian frowned; the fact that he didn't curse back was a testament to his restraint.

"You little punk! I am your grandfather, Gu Cheng!"

Gu Cheng shouted, wishing he could reach through the phone screen and grab the brat by the nose. "Do you have any idea? Qing'er, my precious granddaughter, has been kidnapped by those Peninsula thugs! It was bad enough that you tricked her into working for you for free, but how can you not even ensure a girl's safety!"

Ye Tian was stunned for a long time, only then realizing what had happened. Gu Cheng, Old Master Gu, Gu Qing'er’s grandfather? And Gu Qing'er had been kidnapped by the Peninsula branch... No wonder some idiot had called him early in the morning demanding he go to the Peninsula. So that was it!

"Yun'er, book me a ticket now. I’m heading to the Peninsula!"
