Chapter 73: No More Pretenses, It's Time to Lay Cards on the Table

Chapter 73: No More Pretenses, It's Time to Lay Cards on the Table

Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, the white man named Andrew first looked puzzled, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Andrew, what did this sissy say?" someone asked beside him.

Andrew repeated Chen Ye's words in English, immediately causing the surrounding people to burst into laughter.

They were all extraordinary superpower holders, and hardly anyone took seriously someone who only matched a C-level hero talent.

Now.

A guy who matched a C-level hero talent was actually saying he was troublesome to them?

Wasn't that a joke?

Only Shinichi Miyamoto didn't laugh.

At this moment, Shinichi Miyamoto saw that Chen Ye didn't show the slightest fearful expression on his face. He frowned and looked wary.

He quietly signaled to his short-legged female teammate next to him, and then the two silently stood behind the crowd.

If things went south, he would also run away first.

At this moment.

A muscular black youth stepped forward and came to Chen Ye.

"Andrew, help me translate!"

The black youth said, punching his well-developed chest, then spoke to Chen Ye in a bird language.

After listening, the people around all wore strange smiles, looking at Chen Ye with ill intentions.

Andrew smiled and translated, "Mr. Chen Ye, standing in front of you is Lawrence Whitaker from Ameriken, a genius who matches the S11 hero talent. He asked me to tell you that he will stand still and let you punch him ten times. As long as you can hurt him with your punches or make him step back, he'll let you go! If you can't do it, then for the next few hours, you'll have to obediently be his pet..."

S11.

That's the hero known as Super Alloy Darkshine.

No wonder this black guy looked muscular, like a bodybuilder.

However...

"He'll really stand still and let me punch him ten times?" Chen Ye's face was somewhat strange.

"Yes!"

Andrew smiled.

The others were also watching the show.

They weren't worried at all that Lawrence would fail.

The talent of this hero S11 was known for its defensive power.

And Lawrence's strength had already reached the second tier, and his resistance was even close to the third tier. Even an opponent of the same level of strength wouldn't be able to break through his defense bare-handed.

Just then.

Footsteps sounded at the entrance of the lobby.

It turned out that Tang Zichen heard the commotion and came back.

Seeing Tang Zichen, the people looked wary, as if facing a formidable enemy, and immediately surrounded Chen Ye.

Many of them aimed their weapons at Chen Ye.

Seeing Chen Ye not resisting, seemingly stunned, these people became even more fearless and looked at Tang Zichen as she walked in.

"What's going on?" Tang Zichen frowned. "What are you doing?"

Although the current situation could be understood at a glance, Tang Zichen still gave these people a chance.

Unfortunately.

These people didn't cherish it.

Perhaps they thought that with Chen Ye in hand, it would be enough to make Tang Zichen wary and not dare to act recklessly.

"Don't come any closer, Tang!"

Andrew held a dagger, gesturing in front of Chen Ye, saying, "Otherwise, I don't mind slashing your lover's face to pieces first!"

Tang Zichen was a little confused and looked at Chen Ye in puzzlement.

Chen Ye shrugged helplessly and said, "Don't look at me like that. These idiots suddenly came to me on their own initiative. It's their idea to use me to threaten you, or even make you commit suicide."

Tang Zichen understood.

Then.

She showed a strange expression on her pretty face, feeling very speechless!

These people must have a screw loose, right?

To take hostage the big boss in order to threaten her, a small boss?

Really unbelievable...

Anyway, all of this trouble was caused by her.

So, Tang Zichen apologized, "Sorry, Chen Ye, for causing you trouble again."

"Trouble? What trouble?" Chen Ye shook his head with a smile. "I find it quite interesting."

Looking at him, there was not a hint of panic from being taken hostage!

Andrew felt something was off, but he thought these two were just playing a game, so he threatened loudly, "Tang, drop your weapons immediately, or I'll kill this little sissy!"

Tang Zichen didn't even want to bother with Andrew, asking Chen Ye, "Do you need my help?"

"No need!" Chen Ye said, "They just proposed a fun game. I'll play along with them for now. You don't need to interfere, go deal with your zombie monsters!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen decisively turned and left.

She knew Chen Ye's strength, and there was no need for her to worry.

"Don't forget to close the door!" Chen Ye shouted.

Tang Zichen showed a helpless expression on her pretty face, feeling sorry for Andrew and his men...

Then.

She obediently closed the door of the lobby.

In addition, Tang Zichen did not leave but chose to stay here to guard, to prevent any fish from escaping and revealing Chen Ye's secrets.

...

Until this moment.

The people in the hall finally realized that something was wrong!

Tang Zichen's performance was completely different from what they had imagined, not following the expected script at all.

They weren't stupid.

They knew that there were only two reasons that could make Tang Zichen behave like this.

Either she didn't care about the life or death of the man in front of her.

Or, the man in front of her was truly stronger than her, and she didn't need to worry at all...

From the current situation, the latter seemed more likely.

Thinking of this, many smart people stepped back, their gazes towards Chen Ye becoming more vigilant.

"Who are you exactly?" Andrew looked at Chen Ye with a serious expression.

"Haven't you investigated me already since you came to find me?" Chen Ye smiled and spread his hands. "I, Chen Ye, am a C-level talent holder, also recognized as a little sissy who relies on Tang Zichen's coattails to get to where I am today."

The more he behaved like this, the less the others believed him.

But Chen Ye didn't care whether these people believed him or not.

"Hey, big dummy over there, you just said you'd let me punch you ten times, so you'd better not go back on your word!"

Chen Ye raised his fist and said, "Are you ready? I'm itching to go!"

Although the black man named Lawrence couldn't understand what Chen Ye was saying, he understood the gesture of Chen Ye raising his fist. Immediately, he roared, his muscles tensing up, making him look like he had expanded by a circle, as strong as a bull calf.

Then, without saying a word, he raised the hammer in his hand and smashed it towards Chen Ye.

But...

Before his hammer could come down, an ordinary-looking fist, at an imperceptible speed, struck him in the face.

"Whoosh!"

This punch actually broke the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom.

The next moment!

"Bang!"

Lawrence's strong body exploded like a smashed watermelon, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The people around couldn't dodge in time, and many of them were covered in blood...

In an instant.

A strong man was left with only a pair of legs still standing in place, his upper body split in half at the waist, flying away.

Lawrence was a genius who matched the S11 hero talent!

His defensive ability was comparable to that of an iron wall, truly reaching the point where knives and guns couldn't penetrate.

Everyone present dared not say that they could break through Lawrence's defense stably.

And such a tough expert, he was defeated with just one punch??

Terrified!

Everyone widened their eyes, looking at Chen Ye, their gazes filled with fear!!

In the eyes of everyone, Chen Ye slowly retracted his fist.

Seeing the bloodstains on his fist, he wiped it off with a disgusted look, cursing as he wiped, "Damn it, you said I could punch you ten times. Did you think you were so tough? Turns out you're just a fragile shell, making my hand all bloody, disgusting..."
