815: Chapter 815 Why didn't you make a move?

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and stretched.

"Chase them, my foot? Not chasing!"

"Not chasing?"

Yan Qingwu was stunned. "Those things caused such a huge commotion in the airport and even injured an Ability User. Are you just going to let them go like that?"

She felt disgust towards the Cat-men.

After all.

According to rumors, these things specifically targeted women.

It was absolutely disgusting!

"It has nothing to do with us."

Ye Chen stuffed his hands into his pockets, looking completely matter-of-fact.

"We are here to take a boat to Antarctica, not to be international police."

"Where in the Dragon Group duty manual does it say that one must actively pursue Cat-men encountered at an airport?"

Sophistry!

But it was also the truth!

If one had to intervene every time they saw an injustice... they would probably never get a moment's rest.

Yan Qingwu thought for a moment and nodded. "That's true. Better to avoid unnecessary trouble."

The two exchanged a glance, turned around in tacit agreement, and walked towards the airport exit.

However.

They hadn't walked many steps when a sound of footsteps came from behind them.

"Captain!"

"Boss! Are you alright?"

"Where are those cat brats? Did they run away?"

Several figures filed in through the breach in the curtain wall and landed beside the white Ability User.

Leading them was a woman with short hair, wearing a combat uniform with a lightning bolt pattern embroidered on her epaulets.

She glanced at the claw marks on the white Ability User's shoulder and frowned deeply. "Not bad, Max. A single Cat-man Leader scratched you up like this?"

Max glared at her irritably.

"You try it? That thing is faster than me, its claws are sharper than knives, and it can even shapeshift, damn it!"

"If you think it's easy, you go take the front line next time."

The short-haired woman didn't reply.

Because she suddenly noticed two figures...

So much so that...

She strode after them.

"Wait!"

The short-haired woman suddenly blocked Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu's path. After standing still and looking Ye Chen up and down, a trace of suspicion appeared on her face. "Are you that... Ye Chen from Dragon Country?"

Ye Chen stopped and asked indifferently, "Do you know me?"

The short-haired woman's expression changed repeatedly.

"I've seen your photo in the organization's internal briefing!"

"That incident in Eagle Country caused such a huge stir, the entire Ability User circle is talking about it..."

"A young new Deputy Leader of the Dragon Group in Dragon Country killed the Eagle Country High Priest with his bare hands. I didn't expect to meet the real person here today."

"Oh, a fan of yours?" Yan Qingwu teased.

Ye Chen smiled. "My fans are all over the world. Is that strange?"

Yan Qingwu rolled her eyes.

"Show-off, be careful you don't crash!"

As a result...

Just as she finished speaking.

The short-haired woman's expression suddenly darkened.

"Since you are a Deputy Leader of the Dragon Group, why didn't you act when you were standing right there watching such a huge commotion?"

Ye Chen: "???"

Yan Qingwu: "???"

Good grief!

They originally thought they had met a fan of Ye Chen.

As it turned out...

It was a moralizer?

Ye Chen was amused by this remark. "Who are you to me? Why should I have acted?"

Upon hearing this, the short-haired woman's expression became somewhat ugly.

Max and several other Ability User also caught up. Hearing Ye Chen's words, their expressions became subtle.

With her people arriving, the short-haired woman gained some confidence.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her anger.

"We are members of the International Ability User Federation's action team, specializing in handling Ability User crimes within various countries."

"Those Cat-men just now were high-risk targets on the Federation's red wanted list, and they have already fled through three countries!"

"Since you have the ability, isn't it only right to help?"

Ye Chen asked suspiciously, "Then let me ask you, does your Federation pay me a salary?"

"...No."

"Do you provide me with a private plane?"

"...No."

"Do you pay my social insurance and housing fund?"

"...No."

...

"Then that settles it, doesn't it?"

Ye Chen spread his hands.

"You don't pay me a salary, you don't provide a plane, and you don't pay for social security, so why should I risk my life for you?"

"Besides, that Cat-man was indeed fast. If I accidentally got injured, would you cover the medical expenses?"

"I assume you wouldn't, right?"

"Then what you do is none of my business."

"In Dragon Country, we emphasize rules and regulations. If I overstep, my salary gets deducted."

"It's quite reasonable for me not to overstep, right?"

The whole group: "???"

Speechless!

No one could refute him!

They just felt...

Ye Chen had completely cast himself into a 'matter-of-fact' persona.

But coincidentally...

It was very reasonable.

There were simply no flaws to find.

The short-haired woman's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yan Qingwu stood to the side, trying her best to keep a straight face.

But her shoulders couldn't help but shake.

She knew Ye Chen too well.

This guy's ability to insult people with his mouth was even more formidable than his fists.

She was already known as the Queen of Black Belly, but in front of Ye Chen's mouth...

She was really nothing!

Max pressed down on the short-haired woman's shoulder and whispered, "That's enough, Irene. What he said is the truth. We don't have the right to demand that Dragon Group personnel cooperate with our operations."

Irene shook off Max's hand and then stared at Ye Chen.

"You say that so lightly!"

"It was precisely because you didn't act that those cat brats got away!"

"Do you know how long we've been staking them out? A full four months!"

"Chased them from Buenos Aires to Lisbon, and from Lisbon to here!"

"They robbed three banks and killed twelve people, six of whom were ordinary civilians!"

"And you, you just stand here watching the show and want to walk away just like that?"

That's right!

If Ye Chen had acted, the outcome would have been different!

All of this...

Was all Ye Chen's fault!

Max's head ached, and he couldn't help but pull her again. "Irene, that's enough."

"Not enough!"

Irene shook off Max's hand again. "Ye Chen! You must give me an explanation today! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this airport!"

Yan Qingwu frowned slightly.

This woman...

She's really good at moral posturing!

Is she determined to pin the blame on Ye Chen?

Just as she was about to speak, Ye Chen spoke first.

"Are you sure you want an explanation?"

"Absolutely!"

Irene gritted her teeth.

"Do you know how much we've sacrificed to catch that group?"

"And you, even though you could have done it, want to wash your hands of it with just one sentence?"

"If you don't give me an explanation today, I will report this matter to your Dragon Group headquarters!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

The next second.

Ye Chen raised his hand and struck out cleanly.

"Slap!"

A slap landed on Irene's face.

Her head was knocked to the side, she staggered back, and a red palm print swelled up on half of her face.

The whole scene went quiet!

Max and those few Ability User were all stunned.

Huh?

Did they see that right?

This "God of War" just started hitting people without a word???

Yan Qingwu covered her forehead.

Look at that.

This is what you get for being relentless.

Ye Chen won't patiently reason with you...

Irene covered her face, turned her head, and looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. "You... you dare hit me?"

Ye Chen shook his wrist and asked in confusion.

"Didn't you want an explanation? This is the explanation I'm giving you!"

"You..."

"What about me?"

Ye Chen interrupted her.

"You staked them out for four months, and twelve people died. That's because your Federation is incompetent; it's your own problem. What does that have to do with me?"

"I am a Deputy Leader of the Dragon Group in Dragon Country, not some freelance staff for your Federation. You have no right to order me around."

"You were incompetent and lost the target, and now you're coming here to throw a tantrum?"

Irene: "???"

Ye Chen pointed at Max on the side. "Your teammate was almost beaten to death, and the Cat-men had already run away before you showed up. Don't you have any problems?"

Irene: "???"

Ye Chen shrugged.

"I'll warn you one last time..."

"If you stop me again, the next slap won't be as simple as just hitting your face."

"I will kill you."

Irene: "???"

Fury!

Incensed!

She was a director of the Federation!

Actually being lectured and slapped by a dirty Dragon Country person?

Isn't maintaining international stability everyone's responsibility???

Just as she was about to roar.

Max hurriedly blocked her in front and forced a bitter smile at Ye Chen. "Leader Ye, we were impulsive about this. Sorry, please go about your business."

"Hmm."

Ye Chen glanced at Max and nodded.

"Your attitude is not bad, so I'll save your life."

"You've been poisoned by the Cat-men. You need to get treated as soon as possible, or it will be life-threatening."

"After you go back, remember to grind Codonopsis, Fritillaria, Poria, and Viola philippica into a powder, then apply it to the wound. You will recover in an hour."

This prescription, if used on an ordinary person, would be completely useless.

Even...

It might even cause conflicts due to the nature of the medicinal properties.

However.

If combined with the Cat-men's poison, it would allow for rapid recovery.

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the airport exit.

Yan Qingwu followed. When passing by Irene, she made a sarcastic remark. "Oh my~ some people, tried to gain an advantage but ended up losing."

The two then walked out of the airport gate, and a cold wind blew into their faces.

Irene's hysterical roaring came from the hall behind them, but Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu could no longer hear it.
