279: You should all kneel down and express your gratitude!

“Night Owl’s master?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. “Is something the matter?”

The woman on the other end of the phone spoke in a calm tone: “I heard from Night Owl that her strength has improved rapidly during this time, even touching a threshold that was previously unimaginable. Is this because of you?”

Night Owl had now stepped into the Xuan Realm!

Don't look at the enemies Ye Chen was facing now; Night Owl was only at the Yellow Realm level initially!

Yet, it had only been a few short days...

For a normal person, that was faster than taking a rocket.

Just like Liu Qingluo, who had also reached the Xuan Realm level!

And all of this was solely because of Ye Chen!

Ye Chen suddenly understood; so it was for this.

He said indifferently: “You could say that.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a few seconds, the woman took a deep breath and said: “I want to meet you.”

Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

Night Owl's master should not be weak, and being able to teach a killer like Night Owl, her background was likely not simple.

Who could she be?

Did she want to see him to confirm Night Owl's situation?

Or was there another agenda?

However, meeting her wouldn't hurt. It would be a good chance to see what tricks Night Owl had been playing behind his back.

If the other party was also from Black Prison, then he would just slap her to death.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen replied concisely: “Fine, give me the location.”

“Black Rose Bar,” the woman gave an address.

“Understood.”

Ye Chen didn't say anything more and hung up the phone directly.

He put away his phone, adjusted his expression, opened the bathroom door, and walked out.

In the living room, Yi Zhengtian was gesturing with a wine bottle, boasting about his drinking capacity back in the day to Chu Niubi, while Yi Yue was smiling helplessly on the side, and Aunt Zhang was busy in the kitchen.

Seeing Ye Chen come out, Yi Zhengtian immediately greeted him: “A-Chen, finished your call? Come over and sit, I've already prepared the wine!”

Ye Chen showed an apologetic smile on his face, walked over, and said: “Uncle Yi, I'm sorry. I have an urgent matter that I need to attend to immediately. I'm afraid we can't drink tonight.”

“Ah? You have to go already?”

A trace of disappointment flashed across Yi Zhengtian's face, but he quickly nodded in understanding. “Oh, oh... Go handle your business! Important matters come first! As for the wine, next time, we'll drink next time! Come anytime, there's plenty of wine!”

Chu Niubi also stood up with a start: “Master, I'll go with you!”

Ye Chen nodded, looked at Yi Yue, smiled gently at her, and signaled her to be at ease with his eyes.

Yi Yue understood his gaze and said softly: “Take care on the road.”

“Okay.”

Ye Chen didn't delay any further, turned around, and strode toward the door, with Chu Niubi hurriedly following him out.

Once the door closed.

Yi Zhengtian sighed, sat back on the sofa, looked at his daughter, and said earnestly: “Yi Yue, this kid A-Chen... is extraordinary. Look at his bearing, his abilities, and the people and events that revolve around him; these aren't things that ordinary people can touch. He is truly a dragon among men.”

He paused and lowered his voice.

“You need to be more attentive and hold onto him.”

“A man like this certainly isn't lacking in good girls surrounding him.”

Thinking about it, it was quite emotional.

Back then, he was a vegetative patient, and it was Ye Chen who saved him and woke him up. At that time, he thought Ye Chen was just a decent young man who helped him get revenge.

But as time passed.

He was horrified to discover...

Ye Chen was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, especially after seeing a short video of Ye Chen confronting the 749 Bureau two days ago; he knew that Ye Chen's future was limitless.

He used to be in the system, so he understood what the 749 Bureau was.

Therefore.

Undoubtedly...

This person, Ye Chen, would definitely transform into a dragon as soon as he encountered the wind and clouds!

Yi Yue's pretty face flushed slightly at her father's words. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, while a hint of shyness bloomed in her heart.

Dad...

I'm already his, what else is there to hold onto?

Could it be the size?

...

Black Rose Bar.

The heavy bass made the floor tremble, colorful laser lights cut through the smoke and alcohol-filled air, the dance floor was packed with twisting men and women, and the screams and laughter mixed with the DJ's music were almost enough to blow the roof off.

As soon as Ye Chen entered the door, he frowned.

It was too noisy; he really didn't like it.

But his gaze quickly swept across the chaotic dance floor and booths, and he locked onto his target in a semi-circular booth at the very back.

Night Owl was there.

She wasn't wearing her signature black tight-fitting suit today, but instead had on a simple gray hoodie, with the hood pulled very low, almost covering half her face, as she stared down at the whiskey in front of her.

And sitting next to her...

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was a woman.

Her long, golden wavy hair was draped casually over her shoulders, shimmering with a honey-like luster under the psychedelic lights.

She looked to be in her early thirties, with Eastern facial features that carried a Western three-dimensional quality, and her skin was a healthy wheat color. She wore a wine-red velvet suspender dress, which outlined her plump and proud figure in a breathtaking way.

Her entire body exuded a kind of mature, dripping sexiness.

But there was not a trace of cheapness about her.

Instead, there was a kind of...

Dangerous aura hidden beneath her alluring appearance.

Ye Chen walked through the crowded and noisy crowd, went straight to the booth, and sat down opposite Night Owl without ceremony.

Night Owl raised her head and greeted him awkwardly: “Hi, Boss, you're here?”

Ye Chen didn't say a word.

“I... had an urgent matter.” Night Owl bit the bullet and explained again, “I'm sorry.”

Only then did Ye Chen speak.

“You should be glad that Yi Yue is fine.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here right now, but rather thinking about how to pick a graveyard with good feng shui for yourself.”

Night Owl shrank her neck and completely lost her voice, instead fidgeting with her cup.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Just then, the blonde woman opposite suddenly chuckled.

She put down her whiskey glass, leaned forward slightly, rested her chin on her hand, full of charm.

“My apprentice...”

“Is it your turn to lecture her?”

Ye Chen laughed upon hearing this.

He leaned back against the sofa, rested his elbows on the armrests, and met the blonde woman's gaze.

“So, you called me here...”

“Is it to declare war on me?”

He had been holding back anger because Night Owl had neglected her duties and almost caused Yi Yue to be in danger. Now, not only did this woman not offer an explanation, but she used this condescending tone to question him; did she really think he was made of clay?

The blonde woman's red lips curled into an even more charming arc, as if Ye Chen's questioning was just a child's tantrum.

“Declare war? Heh...”

“I'm just curious what kind of person could use a method bordering on 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow' to make my silly apprentice's strength skyrocket in such a short time.”

She paused, her smile unchanged, but her tone turned slightly cold.

“But I checked her body and internal energy.”

“That newfound power, although powerful, is too volatile, like potential stimulated by strong aphrodisiacs, even though the foundation is very solid.”

“But such methods, in the eyes of a true expert...”

The blonde woman sipped her wine, implying something, “cannot be considered a glorious orthodox path.”

“Oh?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, unable to tell if he was happy or angry.

“Your apprentice's strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and her foundation is even solid...”

“Shouldn't you be jumping for joy just like her?”

“But you didn't. Not only are you not happy for her, but you ran over here to question the methods of this 'benefactor'?”

He narrowed his eyes and asked, word by word.

“What?”

“As a master, are you afraid that the waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead, slapping you to death on the beach, causing you to lose your status?”

As he spoke.

Ye Chen's gaze deliberately swept over the woman's beautiful face and proud curves, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

Night Owl was listening from the side with her scalp tingling, and she hurriedly buried her head lower, wishing she could disappear on the spot.

Boss and Master...

The smell of gunpowder was too strong!

But she didn't dare to make a sound, because the Boss was a cold-blooded demon who killed without blinking, but her Master wasn't bad either; she was the most awesome! Most powerful! Most terrifying female killing god in the world today!

Prey targeted by her...

Almost never escapes!

Just as she was hesitating about how to speak to calm this “war”...

Suddenly!

The blonde woman's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes, but the smile on her face became increasingly enchanting.

“Sharp-tongued.”

“According to what you said, shouldn't I be thanking you properly for my silly apprentice...?”

Ye Chen leaned back on the sofa, crossed his hands in front of him, his expression becoming somewhat lazy, and he even said something shocking.

“Gratitude?”

“Sure.”

“I'm a practical person; I don't like empty talk.”

“How about...”

“The two of you, master and apprentice, kneel down together and serve me well for the night?”

“Consider it a token of gratitude, how about that?”
