453: Chapter 453 The Backstage of the Sage's Hall!

The message had just been sent out.

In less than three seconds, the phone vibrated.

As it turned out, Yan Qingwu called him directly.

Ye Chen picked up, and Yan Qingwu's voice came from the other end.

"Ye Chen! How's the situation on your end? Are your aunt and uncle okay?"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "They're fine. Just a few small fry, I've already dealt with them."

"That's good..."

Yan Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, then her tone turned serious.

"That Nordic Hall of Saints you mentioned just now, I know about them."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Let's hear it."

Yan Qingwu's voice became somewhat solemn.

"This organization... is a bit different from your average assassin organization."

"How is it different?"

Ye Chen asked directly.

Yan Qingwu took a deep breath and explained word by word.

"The Hall of Saints is a legal organization in Northern Europe."

"To put it bluntly, it was co-founded by five Nordic countries to handle the dirty work that officials find inconvenient to do."

"They're used to scrub the floors."

Ye Chen's expression shifted, his eyes narrowing slightly. "So they have a legal veneer?"

"Pretty much."

Yan Qingwu nodded.

"On the surface, they are a properly registered security company with businesses covering risk assessment, VIP protection, and overseas asset protection..."

"Even the royal families of some Nordic countries hire their people as personal bodyguards."

"But in reality..."

She paused, her voice dropping a few octaves.

"The jobs they take are not as simple as just protecting people."

"As long as the money is right, they'll do anything—assassinations, kidnappings, sabotage... you name it."

"And because they are backed by five governments, their intelligence network is massive, and their operations are extremely covert."

"Most importantly..."

"When they strike, they never leave survivors."

"So in the international underground circles, the name of the Hall of Saints is far more prominent than those lone-wolf assassin groups."

"In other words..."

"Ten Black Prisons might not even be their match."

Now.

Black Prison had already become Ye Chen's force, but the Hall of Saints was not something a single Black Prison could be compared to.

After hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh. "So, the few who came today represent five countries coming to kill me?"

Yan Qingwu hurriedly said.

"Not necessarily."

"Although the Hall of Saints was pushed forward by the five countries, their operational model is independent."

"Simply put, the five countries provide them with asylum and resources, and they solve troubles for the five countries."

"But privately, they also take on side jobs."

"As long as the employer can afford the price and it doesn't conflict with the interests of the five countries, they'll take it."

"The ones today..."

She pondered for a moment, "Most likely, someone paid them to come."

Ye Chen nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"So the Manluodi Family couldn't openly enter Dragon Fruit to provoke me, so they took a detour and paid this legally-cloaked organization to kill me."

"And they even went straight for my home."

"That's quite underhanded."

Yan Qingwu's voice also turned heavy.

"Ye Chen, you have to be careful."

"Once the people from the Hall of Saints take a mission, they won't stop until someone is dead."

"Since you killed their people today, they will definitely send stronger ones next time."

"And..."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of worry.

"They have a legal veneer, so it's not easy for our Dragon Group to act directly."

"After all, it involves diplomatic relations with five countries. If not handled properly, it will be very troublesome."

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't panic; instead, he laughed even more happily. "Then it's even more fun."

"You..."

Yan Qingwu couldn't help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"

Ye Chen shrugged.

"Since they won't stop until death, then I'll just have to..."

"Take the initiative and strike them."

"Kill them until they are afraid."

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Good heavens!

Ye Chen actually wanted to go there and kill them?

He just offended a super family from the USA a few days ago, and now he was going to charge into the Hall of Saints a few days later?

This was simply incredible!

But Yan Qingwu, who never shied away from trouble, became excited. "When are you going?"

Ye Chen said calmly.

"Tomorrow."

"Today, I'll spend time with my family and help them calm down."

His parents had just been frightened; it wouldn't be right to run off today.

He then turned his head, glanced at the corpses on the floor, and added another sentence.

"By the way!"

"Call the members of the Dragon Group over to clean this place up."

"The door must be fixed immediately."

On the other end of the phone, Yan Qingwu instantly became pumped up.

"Okay!"

"But I'm going tomorrow too!"

"I'm familiar with Northern Europe! I traveled there back in the day—visited Iceland, Norway, and Sweden!"

"I know exactly how to get around, which restaurants are good—I'm an expert!"

Ye Chen rolled his eyes speechlessly. "What are you going for? To be a tour guide?"

Yan Qingwu said righteously.

"Exactly! To be a tour guide!"

"I also speak five languages, so I'll be the translator too!"

"Besides, you're unfamiliar with the place. What if you get lost?"

"Take me along, and I guarantee you'll take fewer detours!"

Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Get lost?

With his sensory abilities, could he get lost?

But seeing Yan Qingwu's enthusiastic look, he didn't bother to refuse.

"Fine, fine, I'll take you."

"But for now, bring some people from the Dragon Group over first."

"Don't scare my parents."

Yan Qingwu repeatedly agreed, "No problem! I'll arrange it immediately!"

The call ended.

Ye Chen put away his phone and was about to say a few words to his parents...

Suddenly.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Immediately after.

Two figures rushed in, one after the other.

Leading them was a stunning woman with a cold temperament, wearing a simple long white dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her features like a painting.

It was none other than Bing Lan.

Li Qin followed behind her.

The moment they saw the corpses in the living room, their expressions changed slightly.

But when they saw Ye Chen, the tension on their faces instantly turned into joy.

Bing Lan walked quickly to Ye Chen and looked him up and down.

"Ye Chen, you're back?"

Ye Chen reached out and stroked her face, asking curiously, "Why are you two back?"

Li Qin huffed, hands on her hips, looking like she was claiming credit.

"You wouldn't know, would you?"

"Sister Bing Lan installed a security camera in the living room so she could check on the house at any time!"

"Just now she saw people breaking in, and without a word, she dragged me and ran over here!"

"We ran so fast the whole way that my shoes almost fell off!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to gently pull her into his arms. "I've made you two run here for nothing."

Being held by him, Bing Lan's body stiffened slightly, but she soon relaxed.

She didn't struggle, only shook her head gently.

"It's not for nothing."

"Seeing you makes it worth the trip."

Li Qin stood to the side, watching this scene, and cried out teasingly.

"Ooh-la-la~"

"Sister Bing Lan, have you turned from an icy beauty into a sugary beauty?"

"What happened to being aloof? What happened to 'keep your distance'?"

"How come you melt faster than ice cream the moment you're in front of Ye Chen?"

Bing Lan's small face instantly turned red.

She broke free from Ye Chen's embrace and glared at Li Qin. "You talk too much!"

Li Qin asked with a grin.

"Ye Chen, do you want me to call my brother to help?"

Ye Chen waved his hand.

"No need to bother Brother Yao; the Dragon Group people will be here soon."

"Let them handle it."

Li Qin nodded and didn't ask further.

But the next second.

She couldn't help but take a few more looks at Liu Qingluo, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Eh?"

"Little Sister Qingluo, the aura on your body... why does it feel so much stronger?"

She and Liu Qingluo often practiced together.

So.

She was very clear about the general level of Liu Qingluo's aura.

But just now she discovered...

The aura on Liu Qingluo was majestic, far exceeding her previous understanding!

Liu Qingluo smiled slightly, her gaze landing on Ye Chen.

"My benefactor helped me improve it."

Li Qin immediately put on a pitiful expression. "I protect your girlfriend every day, yet you don't give me an upgrade!"

She had been practicing body techniques for a while now.

Originally, her progress was similar to Liu Qingluo's.

But now...

One had soared into the sky, while she was still crawling on the ground. The gap was too large.

Ye Chen rubbed his nose. "After I'm done with my business, I'll help you improve."

Well...

After a killing spree in Northern Europe, the power from the backlash would probably be enough to send two people to the Heaven Realm, right?

"Wow!"

"Thanks, A-Chen!"

Li Qin looked excited. "Speaking of which, I really don't know if there's anything you can't do?"

"There is."

Ye Chen shrugged. "I can't give birth to children."

Li Qin: "..."

Bing Lan: "..."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Zhuang Yufen and Ye Huasheng watched the young people chatting and laughing, and the tension on their faces gradually dissipated.

Zhuang Yufen stood up and pulled Ye Huasheng toward the kitchen.

"Alright, alright, you guys chat. I'll go make dinner for you."

"The girl Qingluo was injured; she needs some nourishment."

Liu Qingluo hurriedly said, "Auntie, no need to trouble yourself, I'm already fine..."

Zhuang Yufen waved her hand.

"What trouble? You were injured protecting us. Shouldn't I reward you properly?"

Since Liu Qingluo took over protecting them, and after learning about her background and experiences, they had already come to treat her as their own daughter!

Now.

The two elders felt incredibly guilty that Liu Qingluo had been injured because of them.

Liu Qingluo wanted to say more, but Li Qin pressed her down onto the sofa.

"Little Sister Qingluo, don't be so polite."

"I've wanted to eat Auntie's cooking again for a long time, because it's so delicious!"

"We're all benefiting from your good luck!"

Although they lived together, Bing Lan and Li Qin often ate at the group's office.

So...

They often didn't get to eat the meals Zhuang Yufen cooked.

Liu Qingluo had no choice but to sit obediently.
