Chapter 2 The Return of the Gods

"God Ye?"

Upon hearing the camouflaged military man's address to Ye Fan, everyone in the hospital lobby was utterly astonished.

Some noticed that this man in camouflage uniform had five stars on his shoulder and his chest was adorned with distinguished medals, exuding an aura of military might and killing intent. He was clearly no ordinary person.

Obviously, no one had expected such an exalted military figure to address Ye Fan as God Ye.

Ye Fan suppressed his raging anger and frowned as he asked, "Who are you?"

"God Ye, it's me, Lin Wu. Have you really forgotten about me?" Upon hearing this, the tall Lin Wu spoke in a shocked and urgent tone.

"Lin Wu?"

Ye Fan whispered. He felt the name was incredibly familiar but could not recall anything, and a severe pain began to assault his mind, causing Ye Fan immense agony.

Seeing this, Lin Wu's eyes widened as he said again, "God Ye, six years ago, the bordering Six Nations amassed a Tiger and Wolf Brigade of a million strong, and our Heavenly Abode Country was at great risk!"

"At the critical moment, it was you who stepped forward, slaying the Six War Gods among the six nations' million-strong army!"

"It was also you, standing firm at the border, preventing the million-strong army from daring to attack. Have you truly forgotten all this?"

His voice was very urgent, as if he was afraid that Ye Fan would not remember and forget the past.

"Six years ago? The Tiger and Wolf Brigade? Slaying the Six War Gods of the Six Nations?"

Upon hearing this, the already tormented Ye Fan seemed to receive a huge shock; his face turned deathly pale, his left hand holding Ye Ling'er and his right hand desperately clutching his head.

"Ah!!!"

With a strong impact on his mind, Ye Fan's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, and his body began to shake violently.

"God Ye, are you alright?"

Seeing Ye Fan's disordered aura, Lin Wu's heart instantly rose to his throat.

However, Ye Fan couldn't hear any sound from the outside due to the intense pain in his mind; instead, his mind was flooded with a surge of long memories and images.

Desert smoke stands solitary, the setting sun over the long river comes full circle.

Beyond the Great Wall, the Tiger and Wolf Brigade!

Heartrending battles in a desolate world between heaven and earth!

"I remember now, I remember it all!"

Under a wave of intense pain, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes. At the moment his eyes opened, a burst of sharp light shot out from his gaze, and a wild aura surged out from within him.

At that moment, Ye Fan's presence rolled out mightily, as if a deity had descended to earth, a complete change from before.

"God Ye, you remember everything?" Lin Wu asked with great excitement.

Looking at Lin Wu, Ye Fan replied vibrantly, "Yes, Lin Wu, I remember everything!"

He was the Direct Disciple of the oldest sect in the Heavenly Abode Country, the Medicine God Pavilion. Six years ago, he descended from the mountains for training and encountered the greatest disaster in the history of the Heavenly Abode Country.

When the Six Nations attacked the border, the defenses collapsed one after another. In that critical moment, Ye Fan went to the border, using his life's learning to save the injured and dying, and in the process, he slew the Six War Gods of the enemy nations within a million-strong army.

Afterward, he stood resolute at the border, deterring the enemy forces, causing the million-strong army to dare not invade.

As a result, he was revered as God Ye, and Lin Wu was one of the highest commanders at the border back then.

And it was also because he had slain the Six Nations' War Gods that when he was on his way back to the Medicine God Pavilion, he was savagely retaliated against by the Six Nations.

It was six years ago when numerous assassins emerged, Ye Fan fought alone and killed all the assassins, but suffered severe head injuries and could no longer remember many things.

If it were not for the kindly Su Ruoxue whom he met that year, he would have likely died in the wilderness.

Today, with the Jiang Family plotting to kill his daughter, and combined with Lin Wu's appearance, the intense stimulation made Ye Fan recover all his memories at once.

"Ling'er!"

Suddenly, a voice as clear as the sound of nature arose, and a beautiful figure rushed into the hospital, swiftly embracing Ye Ling'er's frail body.

"Ling'er!"

Seeing Ye Ling'er covered in blood, Su Ruoxue burst into tears.

The next moment, Su Ruoxue looked at Ye Fan incredulously, "What... What on earth happened?"

"The Jiang Family, in order to have Ling'er buried with them, did not hesitate to plot to kill her; Ruoxue, I'm sorry, I failed to protect Ling'er!"

Gazing at Su Ruoxue, who was now in tears, Ye Fan felt a mix of emotions and was filled with guilt.

"How could this happen?"

Su Ruoxue stumbled and almost collapsed to the ground.

In disbelief, Lin Wu looked at the bloodied Ye Ling'er and asked, "God Ye, is... is this your daughter?"

"Yes, this is my daughter Ling'er!"

In response to Lin Wu's question, Ye Fan did not conceal the truth.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu's expression changed; he quickly stepped forward to examine her.

Dozens of seconds later, Lin Wu spoke gravely, "God Ye, the situation is grave. Your daughter has already entered a state of shock, but we are less than ten kilometers from the military district hospital. If we can get her there in time, there is a glimmer of hope!"

"The military district hospital?"

Ye Fan was taken aback, then he quickly said to Su Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, hurry, take Ling'er to the military district hospital!"

Now, having regained his memories, with his status, getting his daughter into the military district hospital for the best treatment was a piece of cake, and besides, he could no longer trust the doctors at the Central Plains No.1 People's Hospital.

"What about you?" Su Ruoxue asked, seeing a glimmer of hope.

When asked by Su Ruoxue, Ye Fan immediately released a sky-high aura of fury.

His eyes filled with Killing Intent, he said, "Blood debt must be paid in blood!"

...

Meanwhile, inside the Royal No.1 Health Club.

"Second Master, are you satisfied with how this matter was handled?"

A man in his thirties handed a cup of tea to Jiang He, with a face full of flattery.

Jiang He received the tea, took a small sip, and nodded contentedly, "Han Bao, you've done a very good job with this!"

As the words fell, a bodyguard behind Jiang He took out a check worth five million and placed it on the table.

"Second Master, what is this for? It's my honor to serve you, Second Master!"

Seeing the check for five million on the table, Han Bao's smile bloomed like a chrysanthemum.

"Business is business, take it!" Jiang He said indifferently.

"Yes, I'll do as you say, Second Master."

Upon hearing this, Han Bao no longer insisted and accepted the check.

Little did they know, the car accident that happened today was orchestrated by Jiang He, with Han Bao carrying it out.

Han Bao was quite renowned in the Gray Zone of Central Plains, and many of the Jiang Family's unsavory dealings were handled by him in secret.

Receiving the message from Jiang He today, Han Bao didn't think twice, driving the van himself to hit Ye Ling'er.

Han Bao was very clear that, as long as he curried favor with the Jiang Family, who could practically cover the sky with one hand in Central Plains, as long as he didn't seek death, no one in Central Plains would dare to touch him.

Seeing that Han Bao had taken the check, Jiang He slowly continued, "You probably understand the situation!"

"Understood, Second Master, I'm fully aware. That Ye Fan's family really doesn't know whether they're dead or alive. For Ye Ling'er to accompany the Young Master in death is a blessing from her ancestors, yet this Ye Fan's family is just so clueless!" Han Bao said indignantly.

Jiang He snorted coldly, "Tomorrow morning will be the day of Long's funeral. If Ye Fan's family doesn't bring Ye Ling'er to the Jiang Family by dawn, you know what to do, right?"

"Understood, I fully understand, Second Master!"

"If Ye Fan's family doesn't bring Ye Ling'er to the Jiang Family by dawn, not only will I take down Ye Ling'er, but I will also personally send Ye Fan's family to their deaths!" Han Bao's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent.

Jiang He nodded and said, "Very well, proceed as planned!"

Tomorrow was the important day of the funeral for Jiang Long, the Young Master of the Jiang Family, and the entirety of the Central Plains elite and famous were paying attention; absolutely no mishaps could occur at this critical moment.

If Ye Fan's family doesn't cooperate, then they will be eliminated.

A bunch of insignificant lowlifes, their deaths are negligible.

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

Suddenly, a harsh clashing noise came from outside the door.

"What's going on?"

Hearing the commotion outside, Han Bao frowned and asked displeasedly.

"It's bad, Leopard Brother, really bad, there's someone named Ye Fan who has forced his way in!" One of the underlings rushed in, panicking.

"What? Ye Fan?"

Hearing this name, both Jiang He and Han Bao were taken aback, with Jiang He standing up in shock from his seat.

Thump, thump!

The next moment, an overwhelming killing intent swept through, and the sound of heavy footsteps approached, as the menacing figure of Ye Fan suddenly appeared before them.

"Ye Fan!"

Staring at the figure before him, Jiang He's face darkened to the point it seemed it might drip with water.

Feeling the vast killing intent emanating from Ye Fan, Han Bao was visibly upset, "You scum!"

"My daughter, was it you who hit her with the car?" Ye Fan fixed Han Bao with a deadly stare.

Unintimidated, Han Bao looked down on him with contempt, "That's right, I was the one who hit your daughter Ye Ling'er with the car!"

"You, must die!!!"

Seeing Han Bao's haughty demeanor, Ye Fan's eyes filled with murderous fury.

"I should die? What an utter novice you are. You found this place yourself, and while I was planning to deal with you at dawn, since you've come seeking death now, I don't mind sending you on your way ahead of schedule!"

Han Bao was furious, being a super tycoon in the Gray Zone of Central Plains, hardly anyone in the vast Central Plains City would dare to offend his dignity.

Moreover, with Jiang Family's Second Master Jiang He right here, Ye Fan's intrusion was a clear slap to his face, wasn't it?

Ye Fan had to die, and it was necessary.

Swoosh—

Han Bao's eyes were full of harshness as he reached for the shiny military knife on his waist and, without hesitation, stabbed toward Ye Fan.

Jiang He squinted, standing with his hands behind his back, a subtle killing intent on his face filled with scorn.

He knew Han Bao's skills; for a small fry like Ye Fan, Han Bao might as well have been killing a chicken.

However, in the instant Han Bao made his move, Ye Fan's figure vanished from the spot like a specter.

Bang!!!

Just when Jiang He thought that Ye Fan wouldn't last even a single exchange with Han Bao, Han Bao, without even getting a clear look at Ye Fan's figure, was kicked heavily in the body by Ye Fan.

Gurgle—

In an instant, Han Bao spat out a mouthful of blood like an arrow and fell heavily to the ground.

His fingers trembled faintly, then he stopped breathing altogether.

Seeing this scene, Han Bao's underlings were all dumbfounded, each of them screaming in horror.

"Leopard Brother is dead!"

"It's bad, Leopard Brother is dead!"
