Chapter 689 - 668:
Ye Chen stood alone on the deck, his mind a chaos. From the words of the red-clothed woman, he seemed to glimpse another side of the Church Court. Always, amidst the constant brainwashing by the Luo Sijue family, along with continuous teachings from the Old Patriarch and the old butler Jack, Ye Chen had believed the Church Court to be an unforgivable sect, even more terrifying than any other organization.
But now, suddenly, he discovered that this frightening thing wasn’t so scary after all, it even had a sense of salvation about it. This threw Ye Chen into great inner turmoil, suddenly leaving him without a target, a terrifying prospect. All along, eradicating the Church Court had been his mission, but now, he hesitated, wavered, and found himself struggling to make a decision.
"No, I must exterminate the Church Court, I must destroy it!" Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "I need to avenge my father!"
Ye Chen’s resolve suddenly hardened again. Facing the sea breeze, watching the sun slowly set, as though the whole world was turning into a golden ocean, he smiled at the tranquil Pingyang, calm as a slumbering baby; quiet like an elder taking a peaceful nap by the village. Suddenly, his heart achieved an obligatory peace.
"Hey, what do you think is up with Brother Chen?" Feng Zhi Xiao looked at Ye Chen’s silhouette, the cigarette that had long since burned out in his mouth unnoticed, yet he still stood there quietly, seemingly unaware that it had extinguished.
"If you ask me, he’s probably thinking about that red-clothed lady!" Liu the Tyrant, gripping a piece of cooked beef and chomping away, said, "Look at Brother Chen’s silhouette. It’s totally that of someone struck by spring fever!"
"Bullshit!" Da Xia immediately retorted angrily, "Big Brother is a member of the Luo Sijue family; how could he possibly get involved with someone from the Church Court like that?"
"Uh..." Liu the Tyrant was taken aback by Da Xia’s sudden outburst, he muttered, "What do you mean get involved? After Brother Chen takes care of that red-clothed woman, it’ll be revenge for the Luo Sijue family! Imagine, like launching artillery at a plane. Think about how exhilarating that is; let your imagination run wild, as the woman in red screams amid the fierce pounding of Brother Chen’s big cannon... tsk tsk..."
Liu the Tyrant got carried away with his own words while the other seven looked at him with utter disdain. And yet, unenlightened, he continued to follow his own ways.
The warship arrived at the secret island, where everything was arranged and guided by the Japanese soldiers on board. After that argument, neither the red-clothed nor the white-clothed woman appeared before Ye Chen. He really wanted to bid farewell to the red-clothed woman, but could only leave with regrets.
"Brother Chen, missing that woman?" Liu the Tyrant walked up to Ye Chen, smiling at him, who lingered, unwilling to leave.
"Nonsense!" Ye Chen glared at Liu the Tyrant, embarrassed.
