Chen Ruxin tells the truth

"Ye Chen, are you okay?"

Tang Qiu also leaned in and said, "Ye Chen, did Commander Zhang give you any trouble?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

At seven in the evening, after Tang Qiu left, Ye Chen called everyone together and explained what had happened.

"What! A Rank 20 Lord-level Monster!"

Zhu Qiang jumped up with a start.

Lin Nuoyi said with some concern, "A Rank 20 Lord-level Monster certainly won't be easy to deal with, and it can also enslave Pet Masters. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a reliable plan!"

Ye Chen understood the logic behind this, so he said, "It's fine. We aren't the main force this time. The Law Enforcement Alliance will send out three teams, and the Tiandao Alliance will also send out six teams, so the danger isn't that great."

Yu Nian and the others nodded.

"Rest early. We have to travel tomorrow."

Everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, Ye Chen and the others went out and arrived outside the gate of the Safe Zone, where three teams were already waiting.

The leader this time was a department-level figure named Wang Congyun.

Wang Congyun looked at Ye Chen and waved at him.

Ye Chen approached Wang Congyun.

Wang Congyun smiled and said, "You must be Ye Chen. You look quite impressive!"

Ye Chen nodded without saying anything.

Wang Congyun introduced the other three teams to Ye Chen.

"This is Astonish Sky, Rank 10; this is Fox, Rank 10; and this is Bull, also Rank 10."

The three immediately reached out their hands and said to Ye Chen with a smile, "Brother Chen, hello. We've heard so much about you. It's finally a pleasure to meet you today."

Ye Chen shook hands with them one by one, his expression suddenly darkening.

Three Rank 10 teams, with members all at Rank 8—wasn't a team like this just walking into their deaths?

Ye Chen didn't quite understand the Law Enforcement Alliance's arrangement.

Wang Congyun patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother Ye Chen, get on the bus. The driver will take you there."

Before Ye Chen could move, the three of them happily got on the bus.

Seeing that Ye Chen wasn't moving, Wang Congyun's smiling expression suddenly turned cold, and a trace of Killing Intent appeared in his eyes.

Ye Chen pushed Wang Congyun's hand away and took the others onto the bus.

This was a bus-style armored vehicle, the body very thick and extremely sturdy.

The driver sat at the very front, separated from Ye Chen and the others by a thick steel plate.

It was quite comfortable sitting inside.

Wang Congyun did not get on the bus; he waved at the driver, who understood and started the vehicle.

The vehicle slowly drove towards the north.

There was only one mountain in the Aggregation Zone, named the Dabie Mountains, located right at the edge of the Aggregation Zone.

Arriving at the Twin Towers office building, through the window, Ye Chen saw two armored vehicles following behind.

The more Ye Chen looked, the tighter his brows knitted, and his expression became incredibly ugly.

None of the people sent by the Tiandao Alliance were above Rank 10.

Ye Chen looked at Astonish Sky and asked, "For this trip, what did your superiors tell you?"

Astonish Sky said with a chuckle, "They told us to go out and hunt a Rank 20 monster together. If we return successfully, we can increase our monthly gold coins."

Ye Chen gave a grunt of acknowledgement and didn't speak.

Yu Nian sat beside Ye Chen, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Ye Chen, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, just feeling like something isn't right."

Watching Ye Chen's furrowed brows, Yu Nian suddenly took his hand in hers and said gently, "Don't always look so grim; it'll be fine."

Ye Chen held Yu Nian's warm, soft hand, feeling a bit surprised, and nodded with a smile, giving a grunt of acknowledgement.

The armored vehicle moved quickly, and the driver drove very steadily.

The Safe Zone was only an hour and a half away from the Dabie Mountains.

Before long, they had reached their destination.

Everyone stretched and got off the armored vehicle.

Thirty people also successively got off the two armored vehicles behind them.

Just as everyone had gotten off, the doors of the armored vehicles instantly closed, and the drivers drove the armored vehicles away.

"What's going on? Why did they leave? Aren't they going to wait for us to come back?"

Astonish Sky, Fox, and the others complained.

What they didn't know was that this time, they would be going on a one-way trip.

The people from the Tiandao Alliance also walked up. Three people were in the lead. Judging by their figures, one of them was a woman, wrapped up quite tightly, with a veil covering her face.

After the armored vehicles had driven far away, the three took off their veils, and Ye Chen was greatly shocked.

Because this woman was none other than the leader of the Tiandao Alliance, Chen Ruxin!

Yu Nian and the others also stared at Chen Ruxin with their mouths wide open, and Zhu Qiang was stunned, his eyes wide.

Chen Ruxin wore a black tight-fitting leather suit, which outlined her perfect figure.

Her bright red hair was particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

The two people behind her also revealed their faces; they were both men in their early thirties.

However, these two men didn't look simple.

They were Rank 15 Pet Masters.

Chen Ruxin had even reached an astonishing Rank 17!

Chen Ruxin saw Ye Chen, walked over, and smiled, "You must be Ye Chen?"

Ye Chen nodded and gave a grunt of acknowledgement.

His group of five had almost no power to resist against Chen Ruxin and her three companions; after all, the gap in Rank was quite large.

Chen Ruxin sighed and said, "What a fine young man, just like that, being used as a sacrifice by the Law Enforcement Alliance."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's heart trembled, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Ruxin's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "The people from the Law Enforcement Alliance didn't tell you? That's right, how could they possibly tell you the truth!"

"The truth, what truth?" Ye Chen asked repeatedly.

Chen Ruxin smiled and told Ye Chen the truth about the matter.

Ye Chen was stunned on the spot. A moment later, he clenched his fists and cursed angrily, "Bastards! Sooner or later, I will chop Zhang Yun and Zhu Chuanzhi into pieces and feed them to the dogs!"

Yu Nian and the others were also dumbfounded; they hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Chen Ruxin, and asked, "Since that's the case, why did you follow us, and why did you tell me?"

Chen Ruxin's expression instantly turned incredibly cold, and she said, "He is willing to let his subordinates go to their deaths, but I am not. Every single one of my subordinates is family to me. As their leader, as the head of the family, I must protect them well. Moreover, it's not as if we have no chance of hunting the Rank 20 Lord-level Monster. After hunting the monster, we will obtain the Treasure Trove."

"By then, even if our Tiandao Alliance is not as strong as the Law Enforcement Alliance, at least we will have the capital to contend with them. When that time comes, I will break free from the Law Enforcement Alliance's control and become a truly independent Tiandao Alliance!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised. He hadn't expected that the Tiandao Alliance was actually single-handedly supported by the Law Enforcement Alliance. No wonder the Tiandao Alliance had risen so rapidly; it turned out the Law Enforcement Alliance was the one pushing it from behind.

On the outside, the Tiandao Alliance was just a blade in the hands of the Law Enforcement Alliance, capable of doing many things that the Law Enforcement Alliance couldn't, such as extortion and robbery.

This Chen Ruxin was just a gun in the hands of Zhang Yun and Zhu Chuanzhi.
