Chapter 607 Call your soul back (1/2)

As the night grew darker by the second, inside the beautiful structure home belonging to Lu Tian and Yue Ling, the businessman stood in full alert mode. He made sure to tower in front of his wife like a bodyguard as his dark pupil stare dangerously at the man standing in front of the door.

”Why are you here?”

He is someone the government sends when they want a dangerous person capture. Throughout some of his missions, he had run into Nie Chen a handful of times to know that the man is not an ordinary person.

There were even times when he and Nie Chen are after the same person from the underworld. However, instead of working together like comrades, each time they meet, it always led to an enemy dispute.

If possible, he would have thrown the man in prison for all his crimes, but he could never do it because of the Chiefs in Imperial and City Z.

However, his question now is, why is Nie Chen here, standing in his home?

Face with Lu Tian's eyes full of burning wrath, Nie Chen sighs inside. He can understand why the man is acting this way. After all, they never got along in the first place. So it was only natural for him (Lu Tian) to feel vigilant.

He shifts his gaze from the man to his shoulder. Seeing the top of Yue Ling's head as she stood behind Lu Tian, he (Nie Chen) heaves another sigh, but this time aloud.

Knowing he could only do one thing, he place both his hands up like a criminal caught in the act.

”Don't worry, I come in peace. I'm not here to pick a fight with you.”

His words fell with a nonchalant look. However, he can see that Lu Tian will never believe him, so he gestures with his chin to the only person who can help him.

”If you don't believe me, you can ask my boss.”

He meant every word. Even if they didn't along and were always bumping heads, he will never cause any trouble for Yue Ling. Especially when he is standing under her roof.

Lu Tian stares at the man with silky long hair and his eyes narrow like he was trying to read the man.

There are only a few people in the world who would dare to be impertinent in front of him and Nie Chen is definitely one of them.

However, when he heard who the man was referring to as his boss, he (Lu Tian) furrow his brows even more.

Standing behind the tall and aloof man, Yue Ling was dumbfounded at first when he suddenly pulled her behind him. She didn't understand until she heard the short conversation between the two men.

”Tian, it's okay.”

She poke her head from behind Lu Tian and looks at Nie Chen. The man was still holding both his arms up like a criminal standing in front of a police officer.

Her head lightly shook, and she couldn't help but wonder to what Nie Chen did to get on Lu Tian's bad side.

However, even if she is curious to know, right now, it was best to calm the vinegar eating man.

”He's an old friend of mine.”

Lu Tian remained cold towards Nie Chen, but hearing his wife's reassuring words, he calms down even more. Of course, he is only doing this for his wife. If Nie Chen makes the slightest wrong move, he won't hesitate to intervene.

Like she was able to read his mind, Yue Ling sighs inside. She takes a step out into view and looks back at Nie Chen.

No words escaped her lips, but the look in her eyes told Nie Chen to go to the living room or else she won't be able to help him when Lu Tian decides to change his mind.

Quick to understand, Nie Chen lowers his hands and flash a wide grin at the couple. He didn't hesitate to skip his way to the living room.

Although he was acting as cool as a cucumber, deep inside he was sighing in relief and wiping all his sweat away.

It's true that he is always on bad terms with Lu Tian, but he only did so in order to survive. Without a doubt Lu Tian is way stronger than him, but he (Nie Chen) is someone who will never go down without a fight.

Also, as someone from Fate, he cannot bring shame to his family. If they heard he turned into a coward, they will look at him differently and not as the same Nie Chen they know.

As Nie Chen makes his way pass the couple, Lu Tian's head did not move, but his glaring eyes made sure to follow the man's figure. Even when Nie Chen had walked pass him, his eyes remained looking at the side as if he could still see Nie Chen.
