Ye Chen's Inner Awakening

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Since there is, why would I not be willing to listen?"

Li Jingshan laughed: "This opportunity is to join our Law Enforcement Alliance."

Ye Chen's expression didn't change much, because he had already guessed this result.

He didn't speak, falling into silence.

Li Jingshan stood up, patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, and said from the side: "Joining the Law Enforcement Alliance can revoke the bounty on you and also provide you with resource support. I know you have prejudices against the Law Enforcement Alliance, but you have to think about your friends. You aren't afraid, but what about your friends, your teammates? Are you at ease letting them live in fear and face pursuit with you every day?"

Li Jingshan was worthy of being a tactician for the Law Enforcement Alliance; one sentence hit Ye Chen's sore spot.

Although Ye Chen wasn't afraid of being hunted, what about Yu Nian and the others?

If something went wrong and someone died in front of Ye Chen, he definitely wouldn't be able to live with it for the rest of his life.

Immediately, Ye Chen made a decision.

Ye Chen looked up at Li Jingshan and said: "Even if I join your Law Enforcement Alliance, you can't guarantee that we won't be hunted by other forces, right? If you guarantee our safety, you will definitely offend other forces. I think you wouldn't do that just to have me join the Law Enforcement Alliance, right? Speak, what do you need us to do?"

Li Jingshan smiled: "Kid, you are truly smart. Actually, it's simple. To be honest with you, General Zhang is actually a former subordinate of mine. The General Commander is about to be transferred to the Seventh Area headquarters. This position of General Commander will be chosen from among three people."

"The method of selection is that each Deputy Commander will send three teams to Monster Island to hunt monsters. Whoever has more subordinates return alive and hunts more monsters will take this position."

"If you can help General Zhang reach the position of General Commander, then the Aggregation District Law Enforcement Alliance will be under his control. At that time, ensuring your safety will naturally not be a problem. How about it? Are you willing?"

Ye Chen listened and retorted: "General Zhang has quite a few people under him, right? Why choose us?"

Li Jingshan continued: "General Zhang's teams are all too weak. Although our Dark Department has strong individual strength, we don't have a strong team. The other departments also have weaker strength. I showed your profiles to General Zhang, especially yours—your individual strength alone can crush any LV14 monster. Therefore, we chose you."

"Even without this matter, I would have tried to find you, so are you doing it or not?"

"Where is Monster Island? How long will it take?"

Seeing Ye Chen had the intention to agree, Li Jingshan smiled: "Monster Island is a small island in the Xiwu Sea. It has now been completely occupied by monsters. It will last for seven days."

Ye Chen's mind conjured up the figures of Yu Nian, Lin Nuoyi, Zhu Qiang, and Tie Niu.

Facing monsters is better than facing people, and he still had his trump cards.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Fine, I agree."

Li Jingshan showed a satisfied smile, patted Ye Chen's shoulder, and said: "Good. Little Qiu will take you to a place to rest in a moment. Come over tomorrow to collect your equipment, and we will set off the day after tomorrow."

Ye Chen nodded, said "Fine," and turned to leave the room.

Walking out of the room, Zhu Qiang was already waiting outside, looking a bit drowsy.

Seeing Ye Chen's complexion wasn't very good, Yu Nian hurriedly asked: "What's wrong, Ye Chen?"

Tang Qiu also asked with concern: "Are you okay, Ye Chen? What did my Master do to you?"

Ye Chen squeezed out a smile and said: "It's fine, it's pretty good."

The door opened, and Li Jingshan walked out, saying to Tang Qiu: "Little Qiu, you first take Ye Chen and the others to find a place to rest. Tomorrow, take them to get combat uniforms, the highest grade ones."

Tang Qiu was stunned on the spot, blankly saying: "Ye Chen, he joined the Law Enforcement Alliance?"

Li Jingshan nodded and turned back into the room.

Tang Qiu looked at Ye Chen excitedly, tugging on Ye Chen's arm, and shouted happily: "Ye Chen, did you really join the Law Enforcement Alliance?"

Ye Chen nodded. Speaking seriously, this didn't count as joining, but rather a kind of cooperation.

One side provides combat power, the other provides shelter.

"Yay! That's great! From now on, we are teammates! I told you, joining the Law Enforcement Alliance can guarantee your safety!"

Ye Chen said: "Mm, take us to rest, we are a bit tired."

"Okay! Follow me!"

Tang Qiu seemed very excited, skipping along in front.

Yu Nian noticed Ye Chen's expression was off, and his complexion also didn't look good.

At this moment, a thought took deep root in Ye Chen's heart.

That is, he must establish his own force!

Whether it's the Tiandao Alliance, the Smiling Face Alliance, or the Yaomei Alliance, he, Ye Chen, must trample them all under his feet!

He, Ye Chen, did not want to experience being at the mercy of others a second time!

Ye Chen's gaze became increasingly firm, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.

"In the future, it will be impossible to be threatened by others again, and I will make everyone afraid to covet the things on me!" He vowed silently in his heart!

Tang Qiu brought Ye Chen and the others to a residential building and opened a room.

She said to Ye Chen and the others: "It's here, three bedrooms and two living rooms, enough for you to stay in. There is food and drink in the refrigerator, everything is there."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Mm, good, thank you for the trouble. We are going to rest, you can go back first, see you tomorrow."

Tang Qiu nodded and said excitedly: "See you tomorrow."

After Tang Qiu left, the five returned to the room and sat on the sofa.

Just after sitting down, Yu Nian held Little One in her arms and said directly: "Ye Chen, what happened? Just say it."

Lin Nuoyi and the others were slightly stunned, blankly looking at Yu Nian, not knowing why she suddenly said that.

Ye Chen looked at them and feigned relaxation, saying: "Nothing happened."

Lin Nuoyi also sensed Ye Chen's abnormality and asked with concern: "What exactly is going on? Say it! Everyone is a team, we share weal and woe."

"Yeah, Brother Chen, we are all brothers, just say it."

Yu Nian stood up and came to Ye Chen, saying with a serious expression: "I know you wouldn't suddenly join the Law Enforcement Alliance. What exactly happened? There must be a reason, right?"

Ye Chen knew this couldn't be hidden, so he said: "Fine! I'll tell you one thing. The day after tomorrow, we have to go to Monster Island to participate in a competition. This competition is crucial."

"Ah!"

"Competition? What competition? Why participate in a competition?"

The few looked at each other, unable to help but ask.

Ye Chen told the four what had just happened.

After finishing, everyone fell silent.

Zhu Qiang immediately got anxious: "Brother Chen, that old thing is clearly threatening you! We saved Tang Qiu twice! This is ungrateful! Isn't this infuriating! Brother Chen! Let's not go, we won't take this crap! We won't take this injustice!"

Yu Nian seemed to see through Ye Chen's thoughts and said: "Alright, stop arguing first. Ye Chen had no choice. After all, facing the threats of the five major forces, we would all be in danger of our lives. He didn't want anything to happen to us, didn't want any of us to have an accident, that's why he was forced to agree."

"That won't do either! This is bullying! What are we afraid of! Isn't this clearly making Brother Chen suffer grievances! We won't go, at worst we'll fight it out with the Smiling Face Alliance and the others! At worst, we die! I, Zhu Qiang, am not afraid!"
