Chapter 415: I Want Him Dead
Chester struggled to her feet. An intense will to survive allowed her to briefly overcome the pain, using her one good leg to inch her way outside.
'No matter how much it hurts, I have to get out of here, or I'll be the one to die!'
When she finally made it outside and saw her own people, she couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
"Chester! My god, how did it come to this!"
Xiao Ye stood by the villa window, watching the scene with a calm expression.
From the very beginning, he never intended to negotiate.
Since they insisted on sending a so-called Angel Leader, he had no choice but to keep causing trouble.
'If they had sent a more formidable high-ranking member, I might have let up for a bit.'
'I hope the Angel Association learns its lesson this time.'
「In the dead of night.」
The unconscious Chester finally awoke.
Her wounds had been treated. Her hands and arms were tightly bandaged, making for a pitiful sight.
Chester had always been proud, believing her status and position were superior to other women.
But she never expected to suffer such a devastating blow this time!
Even if these wounds healed, even if there were no lasting effects, they would still leave scars!
That was the one thing she could not tolerate. She was a famous influencer in Country A, with a following of over a hundred million fans!
"Xiao Ye... Xiao Ye! I'm going to kill you!"
"Angel Leader, please calm down. Your injuries are very serious, and it's not good for you to get emotional. Also, there is something else I need to tell you. Because the bullet pierced your tendon, so..."
Chester froze, then snapped to attention, anxiously demanding, "So what?"
"So... your hand might not be able to exert any force..."
"What did you say? Doesn't that mean... I'll be a cripple? No, no, no, that's impossible!"
She struggled to sit up.
The doctor quickly held her down. "Angel Leader, you can't move right now, or your condition will worsen!"
Chester lay on the hospital bed with bloodshot eyes. "Xiao Ye, I will kill you!"
She no longer cared whether Xiao Ye was important to the Angel Association or not. All she wanted now was to kill him to vent her fury!
With her good hand, Chester took out her phone. "Take care of Xiao Ye for me! I want him dead!"
The doctor looked like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.
「The next day.」
Xiao Ye left the villa and went to an ordinary restaurant outside.
Hank was waiting for him here.
"Mr. Xiao, my mission is complete. What should I do next?"
"What you need to do next is simple. Establish your own office, and then allow people to challenge you every day."
"Just take on three challengers a week. Livestream the entire thing."
"Stream for two hours every day. Your main task is to promote the martial arts culture of Dragon Country."
"Don't worry, I'll have scripts and talking points prepared for you. You just need to familiarize yourself with them beforehand so it doesn't look like you're reading from a script."
Xiao Ye smiled faintly. "Once your follower count is up, you'll do livestream e-commerce. You'll teach foreigners Dragon Country martial arts on one hand, and sell our Dragon Country products on the other."
"We don't need other things. Focus on various weapons like Nunchaku, whips, and Tang Blades. It's imperative that we link martial arts directly with Dragon Country!"
"Oh, and list things like boxing gloves, too. Right, every time you're teaching, use your words to subtly influence people."
"Make them believe that every form of martial art in the world today, even some of the official military training in Country A, evolved from Dragon Country!"
Since the goal was to promote Dragon Country's martial arts, the campaign had to be comprehensive, leaving no stone unturned. Otherwise, they might not get such a good opportunity again.
Hank nodded and immediately agreed. "Alright, I know what to do!"
It was no exaggeration to say that even his life had been given to him by Xiao Ye. He would follow his orders without a second thought!
If Xiao Ye hadn't helped him clear his name back then, he would have likely remained a homeless man, destined to die in a foreign land!
After their meal, Hank went to the newly established office, accompanied by a few bodyguards.
However, that wasn't a guarantee of absolute safety. For the most part, Hank would have to be careful on his own.
Xiao Ye glanced at the bright sun overhead and decided to walk back to help digest his food.
Speaking of which, the weather here was much warmer than in Dragon Country, already feeling like early summer.
He hadn't walked more than a few steps when a piercing screech of brakes suddenly rang out!
Without a second thought, Xiao Ye leaped, planting his feet on the adjacent wall and running along it before landing safely to the side.
At the same time.
An SUV slammed violently into the spot where he had just been standing.
The front of the vehicle crumpled upon impact with the wall, which now showed a thin crack.
Xiao Ye's heart sank. He strode quickly to the front of the vehicle.
He saw the person in the driver's seat was covered in blood from the impact. Even with the airbag, the collision was too intense to withstand.
Seeing the man was on the verge of death, Xiao Ye pulled out several silver needles and inserted them into his acupoints.
The driver slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Ye looked at him. "Tell me who put you up to this. Otherwise, I will hunt down your family and friends and make sure they all join you in death!"
The driver opened his mouth. "Ches... Chester!"
As a subordinate of the Angel Association, he couldn't defy an Angel Leader's order. If he did, not only would he suffer, but so would his family.
But he was resentful. Who wouldn't want to live?
'I'm not going to make it out of this alive anyway, so what does it matter if I talk? Besides, I've already completed my mission!'
'The dashcam couldn't have survived that crash!'
Xiao Ye pulled out the needles. Almost instantly, the man closed his eyes and stopped breathing for good.
Soon, the police arrived to investigate the scene.
Xiao Ye was already gone.
He didn't return to his own residence, instead heading to a different location.
It was the place Chester had stayed after she left.
Xiao Ye had someone tail her earlier, which led to the discovery of this small base of operations.
The fact that Chester would come here even in such a perilous state meant that, subconsciously, she considered it a safe place.
It was a high-end apartment building.
Xiao Ye hid in a blind spot no one would notice, planted a surveillance device, and then returned to his car.
About five hours later.
The surveillance device beeped.
Facial recognition had a hit: the target had appeared!
Xiao Ye immediately turned on the screen. Chester's back appeared on the display, and a man was pushing her wheelchair.
She entered one of the buildings in the back.
Xiao Ye set out at once.
Inside the room, the man was cutting fruit.
Chester suddenly flew into a rage. "When am I going to get better?! All I did was not post for a while, and I've already lost so many followers!"
"Didn't they say they loved me? Didn't they say they idolized me? Why do I lose followers the moment I stop posting? Why?"
