Chapter 54: The Callous Ye Chong

Translator: - -Editor: - -

The thumb-sized steel spheres shrieked terrifyingly!

Two steel spheres embedded themselves in the door with two bangs reaching ten centimeters deep into the C-N* duroplast material - two centimeters away from penetrating the door. Another steel sphere went through the gap of the doorway and hit the opposite wall of the walkway which was also deeply embedded within.

Wang Weiqi’s face became pale and went as white as a sheet!

The steel sphere that went through the door had missed the tip of her nose by less than a centimeter. The strong airstream that went with the sphere made her felt a hint of pain at her nose. If she had a mirror, she would have noticed a small cut on her nose tip due to the piercing airflow. A drop of blood started streaming down the top of her nose.

She had never felt so close to death before. “The steel sphere was fast enough to burrow deep into the wall. If it had hit my body, I would have… I would have…” As she thought of it, terror enveloped her soul at an instant. Wang Weiqi screamed in and ran away as faast as she could with her hands covering her face. She had only one wish then and that was to get out of the haunted room!

Ye Chong was ready to strike the steel balls again when he heard a piercing scream followed by loud thumps of footsteps slowly fading away.

Mu popped out in Ye Chong’s thoughts, “Ye, how could you be so uncouth towards a girl?”

Ye Chong asked naively, “What do you mean?”

Mu spoke as though he expected such a reaction from him, “In this world, outside of trash planets, women are thought to be deserving of tenderness and care. Hence, most would hesitate to start a fight against women. Some had never even placed a finger on them!”

Ye Chong was curious, “Why? Just because they’re women?”

Mu gave it a thought and agreed, “It appears to be the case.”

Ye Chong disapproved. “What a strange logic! But the strangest thing is that you, Mu, had proposed such strange logic!”

Mu kept silent as though he was choked.

Ye Chong was pleased with himself, “My skill was not bad, right?”

Mu was unimpressed. “The attack was too weak. It wasn’t enough to penetrate through the door. If it had, then it would be a threat to the enemy! Besides, you stood up too slowly and judged your strength inaccurately. If you had fired two more spheres immediately after the first two, then they would have gone through the door and the girl would have been heavily injured if not dead!”

Ye Chong nodded in agreement. “Right, right, I could have also…” The two began a heated discussion.

It was when they thought meal time was approaching, they ended the interesting conversation.

Ye Chong got up, put on his windbreaker and headed out.

As he entered the main hall, it was indeed almost meal time. This was something Ye Chong always looked forward to and another would be the topic of the conversation he ha earlier with Mu.

Ye Chong was about to head towards the dining table when all of a sudden, Wan Ziqing who was holding a cup of boiling hot sweet grass drink approached in his direction. He was about to bump into Ye Chong but Ye Chong took a step to the side to avoid the collision. A trace of slyness flashed in Wan Ziqing’s eyes as he pretended to exclaim in surprise and lost hold of the cup. The boiling hot sweet grass drink splashed onto Ye Chong.

Ye Chong gave Wan Ziqing a death stare. The opponent’s hostility was apparent, but what confused Ye Chong the most was the reason behind him resorting to such a harmless approach. Even if the sweet grass drink splashed onto him, it would not hurt him. Could it be that there was some corrosive poison in the drink?

Although Ye Chong could not comprehend his act, he was certain of the other party’s hostility and so, Ye Chong did not hesitate to take his next move.

His stepped lightly on tiptoe and moved like a ghost to Wan Ziqing’s other side. His right hand struck like lightning and grasp Wan Ziqing in the throat tightly ready to finish him off. Ye Chong was certain that he could even break a steel beam as thick as his throat!

Ye Chong pushed the thought of strangling him away. Instead, he pushed Wan Ziqing hard as he simultaneously jumped backwards with the tip of his toes.

Wan Ziqing felt regretful. Even though he survived that fight, he knew well that no one would be left alive with that much force on the throat. Wan Ziqing held his throat and kneeled at a corner, coughing vigorously with petrified eyes. Ye Chong’s strength was such that even though he had opted for a push instead of a chokehold, Wan Ziqing still bled a little from his mouth even though his throat survived the attack. The man was obviously hurt.

Vella had his eyes on Ye Chong the moment he left his room. He understood why Wan Ziqing did his little trick, although he cursed inwardly. “Why didn’t you carry out a background check on that man before attempting such a ridiculous trick? If he is one that prioritises his physical appearance, he wouldn’t retaliate. But the man you planned an attack on, he had skills of a professional killer! Are you plotting your own death?

Out of desperation, Vella unholstered his heat ray guns from his thighs and shot between the two men! Vella did not intend to aim his shot at Ye Chong. He only wanted Ye Chong to back off and cool down the situation.
